Crossbow Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 You should use the add-on library that includes code for Modbus. It will allow you to perform Modbus SLAVE requests out the serial port. As for the hardware interfacing, you need to know if they are using Modbus RS232 or RS485 and what teir connection to the DCS system is. Check the manual for the S7-200 for the section on Modbus communications. You can download this manual from www.sea.siemens.com in their Micro Automation section Quote

Crossbow Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 I'm adding the S7-200 Programming Manual to the download section. It's about 6 megs. Quote
jose7771 Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Posted January 22, 2005 thanks for the manual regards jose Quote
khekd Posted January 27, 2005 Report Posted January 27, 2005 Jose, I posted an attachment on another topic which I gave him code to be a modbus master. the library that siemens offers is only a modbus slave. please take a look at this topic and you can download the code. it is very well documented.
