To perform PLC to PLC communication using Schneider Electric Telepace Studio software, you need to ensure that both PLCs are properly connected and configured.
Here are the general steps to send a value from one PLC and receive it with the other one using Telepace Studio:
- Open Telepace Studio software and establish communication with the sending and receiving PLCs.
- Create a program or function block that reads the desired value from the sending PLC.
- Use a communication protocol, such as MODBUS TCP/IP, to send the value from the sending PLC to the receiving PLC over the Ethernet cable.
- In the receiving PLC, create a program or function block that listens for the incoming value and stores it in a variable or memory location.
- Verify the communication settings, such as IP addresses, subnet masks, and communication ports, are correctly configured on both PLCs.
- Compile and download the programs to both PLCs.
- Monitor the communication status and debug any potential issues in Telepace Studio's communication tools.
Regarding the specific issue of MODBUS RTU not receiving data, ensure that the settings for both the PC and receiving end PLC are accurate. Double-check the COM port configuration, baud rate, parity, stop bits, and slave ID. Make sure the physical connection between the PC and PLC is correct and stable.
If the issue persists, consulting the Schneider Electric Telepace Studio documentation or contacting their technical support would be beneficial.
