Posted 1 Mar 2021 both devices need to support same network type to exchange data. if that is not possible, you can add gateway between the two. gateway need to be selected of course so that it supports both networks 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 1 Mar 2021 It's not enough for both to be on the same network. They have to both speak the same language. In this case, the ML1400 and L24ER can natively talk together using a form of AB's Ethernet/IP while the S7-200 probably uses Profinet. You may be able to try to use Modbus as a common language between them. I've seen system OBs in the S7-300 world for Modbus but I don't know if they will work with an S7-200 or how difficult it would be to implement (I've never used Modbus). To get data between AB and Siemens in the past, I've used a Prosoft gateway module and a Red Lion HMI or Data Station. The Red Lion was actually cheaper and much simpler to use. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
