How to build the communication between SIMOTION D435-2 and AB 1756-L72S??

3 posts in this topic

Hi, guys, how are you?

 

We want to build the communication between SIMOTION D435-2 and main controller AB 1756-L72S

 

Could you tell us which communication device/card we should buy and install?

 

Thanks.

Can't say what would work best , but it looks like you can use Profibus, ProfiNet or EthernetIP.  Each has it's pluses and minuses.  I did post a link to this topic in the Siemens Forum as some Siemens Experts might know about your question also.

I've used ProSoft gateway modules and Red Lion HMIs/DSPs to go between AB and Siemens PLCs over Ethernet. Both worked, but the Red Lion had fewer limitations and was easier to deal with. And a bit cheaper. This works for reading/writing tags registers between PLCs. Not sure how well it will work for a Simotion controller, though. I've never worked with them.
