Connecting Siemens S7-1200 to WMS

2 posts in this topic

I am curious as to how I can connect my Siemens PLC to a Warehouse Management System. 

 

We will be scanning totes, from there taking the tote number and sending that to the WMS.  Then the WMS will send me back the desired lane number.

 

I don't know where to start on this task. Please help. 

 

Thanks

Has the customer specified what kind of communication must exist between the PLC and WMS? (Profinet, Profibus, TCP/IP, etc.) Is there a specification regarding the telegram size and structure? Will the communication be done directly or through an OPC server?
