You made the right decision  S71500 can be a client or server.  typically your plc is a sever (Serves data) and the pc is the client  S71200 can be a server.    Both are easy to set up

-     

Pressure, humidity... these are typically “analog” inputs to a plc. The analog value from the sensor is typically 0-10 vdc , 4-20 milliamp. Others exist, these are the common outputs from these sensors  your plc system will need an “analog input” for each sensor  and yes, 24vdc is needed to power the plc and these sensors    

It doesn’t need it on the motor.  Setup the mechanics appropriately. The plc closes the position loop.  But the motor must drive the material and the encoder must be driven from the material. They have to be connected in some fashion.  Do some reading. It will work.  Or hire a system integrator. 

So analog to your drive and high speed counter from an encoder back to the 1200 hsc input Easy This is done with a TO A third party drive will work just fine Enable from plc - a Qx,x output Analog reference from plc  for position/speed control  

Yes. You can do point to point moves with a TO in the 1200. That’s the way I would control it.  I can’t say I understand your ramping scheme but a 1200 can be a position controller 

The S71200 has technology objects for position control. Have you looked in to that ?

 Contact your Siemens distributor  you have to buy it 

In a tvstevie previous post... he already has a pdf of the s7200 program.    http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?/topic/38080-old-siemens-plc/   He’s converting to automation direct.  He doesn’t need Microwin.  Start writing code. 

No. It’s not backward compatible 

And you would be complaining if you didn’t  get a quote.    go buy TIA Portal Step7 Basic This is the replacement        

Go online and look in the diagnostic buffer what cpu? 

What’s the part number on the cpu? And CP? and version of Tia Portal? maybe I can put something together 

You need WinCC Flexible 2008 the software is not free

Robert My apologies. My reply was referring to Mr Wolff and I fell for his remarks again. I deleted my remarks Regardless.  I think your website flows and has the basic information. I need to view it from a pc instead of my small phone.  Do you plan to add some of the options like Sivarc and Prodiag?

I guess I misunderstood what you were trying to do

Stu not without doing one of the 3 things I posted  the software alone with a standard reader won't do it  I think EMDs trick only reads a bin file etc on the card

So you have a S7 3xx CPU. Well this is a memory card for one. The only way to see what's on this is.. Use a a Siemens USB prommer Use a Siemens pg with built in prommer Put this card in your CPU and look at the program

I use mine very carefully   How about some detail, model number, analog speed ref, comms etc?

If you configured your system properly it will act as one. So once you download the two cpu's synchronize automatically. 

Kolonel your making this too difficult. Use the db9 male male cable. Go to your pg pc interface and set to 5711 automatic.  Do you see the node number and baud? let me know. I can do some screen shots

Fc105 is a Siemens scale block. It is block protected. You cannot open it 

Junk put that in the AB forum. We don't care about that software. :)

Jessica  Did you ask the distributor who you bought the Siemens automation from? Siemens also has a CS group that will train and help your programmer. Talk to your distributor
