Dear community colleagues, First of all, thank you in advance for reading this post - your valuable time is much appreciated. I'm a 1. semester automation student who is currently interning at company in Denmark. The company has so far only built their automation solutions on the Rockwell platform along with hardware from Danfoss (VFDs, motion controllers etc), but have decided looking into expanding to Schneider and Siemens. In that regard, I have taken this small assignment as I think it could be a good fit for my upcoming 1. semester thesis. The first task is to create a communication between an S7-1500 PLC and a Schneider LMC600 through Profinet. The correct GSDML file has been installed in TIA Portal (v15.1), and the LMC600 has been assigned in the hardware layout. My next step will be to send bits and bytes between the two devices to see how they interact with eachother and if there is any bit swapping. My experience with the TIA environment is not vast and I have absolutely no experience with Schneider. In that regard, I could really need some sparring on how to carry on with the first part: sending bits/bytes between the two devices. What would the best practices be in this regard? I know your time is valuable and I'm not looking for you (the community) to hand me the solutions - I just need a push in the right direction and some 'mentoring' along the way. 🙂 If you find the task vaguely explained, please do ask me questions. Thank you in advance and have a great day. 🙂
