modbus plc siemens
This pacakge is a bridge between a python modbus client and a Siemens PLC as modbus server.
This package includes:
- A project test to load in TIA Portal
- A ROS node to interface a Siemens PLC with a ROS environment
Configuration needed
-
This package was tested on Ubuntu 14.04 with ROS Indigo
-
To be completely tested this package needs a second workstation that has a Microsoft Windows (7/8/8.1) environment with Siemens TIA Portal
-
This package was tested with a S7-1200 Siemens PLC on TIA Portal v13
Quickstart
Download the TIA Portal project (in modbus_wrapper/modbus_plc_siemens/resources/[TIA_PORTAL] S7_1200_Modbus_wrapper) to your siemens PLC to enable the modbus server on the PLC.
Make sure you are able to ping the PLC from the workstation, where you execute your ROS node.
Start a modbus client that connects to a modbus server on PLC, running the programm of the resources directory. Replace the ip address with the address from your PLC. Try first if you are able to ping it.
$ rosrun modbus_wrapper modbus_client_s7_1200.py _ip:="192.168.199" _port:=502
