Modbus contact PLC

Hi all

We try to add 20 saving file read function code in order to read the brief in bulk from PLC. We used the modbus for Labview library to communicate with the PLC with Modbus TCP/IP, but when I addes the code function 20 to the cluster of the MB Ethernet Master query entry reading registry Palette entry, the program displays an error. I'll be really appreciated if someone could help with this problem!

We hope all have a good weekend.

Best regards

Sophie

Actually... that is a constraint on the second entry to "build the table? ' It is difficult to tell from the image. If so, what is the data type of this cable?

That must be an array of U16s, because the "quantity" and "home address" are U16. However if the value '1' is a larger data type as U32, labview perhaps at upconversion of the whole table that would result in a larger data set than expected and could cause error 2. You can check on this?

  • You can trigger through communication Modbus TCP/IP PLC data acquisition without using a loop for?

    Hello

    I am trying to contact a facility through a Modbus TCP/IP communication PLC. I'm new to this method, but the idea is that the installation will send the logical (Boolean) values 1 bit by ethernet to my workstation which read and then will begin data acquisition. Basically, I need a triger to come to my pc. I placed my vi inside a structure case T/F which will run according to the signal, it receives data acquisition. However, for it constantly waiting, I put this in a loop for. The works of vi, but playback signals sometimes lagging behind due to the loop for. If I take the loop out and just run labview permanently, it works perfectly, but I know that the option is only for debugging and should not be used. So my question is, is there a better way to wait for an incoming signal?

    Hello!

    Please note that the order of execution of the write operations on the shared variable 000002 is not determined.

    For example, nothing prevents this order of execution:

    (1) value false 000002

    (2) set to true 000002

    (3) execution of the loop

    In what concerns the delay, you might consider placing a waiting vi in the case of 'false', or the loop uses 100% of CPU if I'm not mistaken...

  • How to connect Labview to PLC Modicon Quantum (140 CPU 311 10) with Modbus

    I was wondering if someone could give some tips on how to connect Labview to Modicon Quantum plc (the card is 140 CPU 10 311).  I am eager to serve a Labview HMI to control the controller that is used to implement the control PID with a VFD.  Currently I can communicate via Modbus to the API for programming using UnityPro XL, but I have no idea how to connect Labview.  I read the article on place OR "connect Labview to any PLC via Modbus", but I don't know yet.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Greener.

    Communicate with the PLC via Modbus usually requires the Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module to have this feature available in LabVIEW. The white paper which indicated you using this module, which may explain why you can't get the communication at work. If this is something you don't have, and purchasing a license is not an option, then you might be able to use Modbus unofficial libraries to get the functionality you need. I have included a link below to a Modbus for LabVIEW library that you can try.

  • How can I write the value of floats Unitronics vision230 PLC with modbus Ethernet

    How can I write the value of type Float in unitronics PLC Vision230 modbus ethernet (Ethernet Master Query.vi MB) usinsg I read and write register 32 bits, for example, I want to write the value 23.45 2nd Add. MF. And registry MF is the 32-bit registry. I read and write register 32-bit.

    Narendra.

    Narendra,

    Two characters can type cast into a uint16 you VI supports.

    To summarize. Take one (4 bytes). Flatten it to a string (4-byte) divided this string into two parts of 2 bytes each. Cast in u16 (16 x 2 = 32-bit).

    However, if you really want to follow the IEEE standards then you will need refer this KB. His is not that simple, but seems closer to what you are looking for.

  • Control PLC Modicon-Quantam of Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet.

    Has anyone use LabVIEW to program a PLC Modicon-Quantam successfully using Ethernet TCP/IP? I tried the examples MB Ethernet (master/slave) in the download nimodbus121 and it doesn't work. I really need to know the best way to connect and communicate to a PLC Modicon-Quantam using LabVIEW, Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP using the Excel spreadsheet. I need to write entry registers (write) shift in and read from holding registers. The software that I SMTX Modbus/TCP Master control ActiveX does not completely for me. I can ping to the controller from cmd prompt. I saw this webcast - creating a server of e/s Modbus TCP with the LabVIEW Datalogging and supervisory Control Module 8. I've also seen a webcast on OLE for process control (OPC). What should I write LabVIEW control and view records by using LabVIEW flags? Someone at - it a LabVIEW example that I can start with? Should I buy the DSP module for $1280,00? This will solve my problems?

    If you have found return data that you do not understand that I recommend trying to send output known of the automaton at least to determine what kind of conversion has to happen. This document talks about the Optomux protocol that can be used with programmable automata. You will need to find specific documents that tells you how to convert these data into LabVIEW. You can also start a new forum, since this is a separate issue from the original.

    Hello, I am looking for programming of PLC Windows software that can be used for the controllers of EX_100 from Toshiba. I have the DOS program, but I need a Windows program. I need a way to program several old Toshiba EX_100 automatons of laptops running Windows 7.

    Thank you.

    Hmmmm... In my opinion, it will be difficult for you to find something like this, especially here on the user forum. I'm afraid, you need professional help with this m.

    I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They directly go to Toshiba and can send some sort of request to the right people.

  • CRIO Commucation with PLC

    Hi guys, I am trying to build the commucation between my CRIO9066 and PLC300, which means I want the CRIO to get data of PLC, but I don't know how to implement it, could someone give me a hand?      Moreover, I did possible communication between Labview and PLC by using an OPC server, I wonder if this also works in the communication between PLC and CRIO.

    To my knowledge, you cannot connect to a server OPC DA of a cRIO because it isn't a windows target and OPC DA uses DCOM to communicate. If it is an OPC UA Server, you can certainly use the LabVIEW API of a cRIO.

    You can also check if there are other ways to communicate to the controller as Modbus.

  • Analog value read with DSC Module Modbus

    Hi, I have a Delta PLC with an AD converter module. I use the four analog channels and in one of them, I have a thermocouple which displays temperature data on a microprocessor thermocouple meter. However, I want to display the data in Labview. The controller communicates with labview through the DSC Module of labview with success, but I am not able to read the data. Looking forward to your help.

    Found the solution. addressing to the modbus master was different for this model of plc, so I looked up the address for delta plc Modbus and the analog read list has been a success on labview.

  • Programming of camera or 1744 with PLC

    Hello

    I have a N I 1744 camera. It scans the length and position of the pins. There are several lengths of pins. So, there are + 10 programs needed. The programs were made with NI Vision builder. The right program to fix the right axis is now inserted in the device with visionbuilder. I expect to get rid of the laptop and be able to choose the program with PLC S7-1200 installed. This would save some time.

    This would be possible or is there any otherway to make an easier selection of the program?

    Thanks in advance.

    If I understand correctly, you want the controller to tell what program to load the smart camera.

    Vision Builder AI support various industrial communication protocols which can be used to communicate with an automaton, like the series, Ethernet, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, OPC UA.

    You could also use e/s and send signals to the PLC to the smart camera.

    In the Vision Builder, select view > view complete on the inspection facility.

    Select then view > toggle main view window.

    On the left bar that is displayed, click the icon of the Inspection to select.

    Now click on the steps of Inspection: tab of the palette on the right to communicate.

    Select the step corresponding to the communication protocol that you have chosen to use with your PLC, for example, the TCP protocol.

    With this step, you want to read the command sent by the controller.

    Then go through the steps of Inspection: using tools additional tab scroll down and click on the select Inspection stage.

    This step allows you to specify which control to run according to the result of the stage of communication that you just inserted.

    Click Add to specify a new inspection. Specify a (value - Inspection) pair.

    Activate the checkboc 'Activate the selection of Inspection' and click OK.

    Go to the inspection of the VBAI mode and open an inspection.

    When control reaches the final State, the inspection status select will turn to see if a new inspection has to be charged.

    I hope this helps.

    Best regards

  • connect LabVIEW to PLC

    Hello

    I try to connect LabVIEW to controller using an OPC server of NOR. Its a controller logix (Allen Bradley) L23E Compact and I find it difficult to obtain the device driver. Please help me with this topic and a link explaining how it would be useful to connect labVIEW to PLC.

    Thanks in advance,

    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,


    Regarding the driver:  See the taken list supported device & driver plug-in for NOR-OPC Server

    Regard to the connection in LabVIEW:  You have two main options that depend on the question of whether or not you have the LabVIEW DSC Module.  As seen here, you can either use variables shared with DSC to access your OPC tags, or you can simply use DataSocket VIs contact them directly as an OPC client.  Some documents that may be useful by adding your specific hardware can be found here and here.

    I hope this helps!

  • Deal with failure when using LabVIEW 2011 and DSC MODBUS communication

    I'm currently reading from operating records a PLC with MODBUS/TCP. I confirmed that the PLC will update the values and in response to a MODBUS communication correctly by using a third-party program called Modbus Poll. However, when I try to query the PLC using the LabVIEW shared variable engine, I am unable to read the values of the same addresses that I consult with Modbus Poll.

    My installation is simply to a PC directly connected to the controller via Ethernet without a router between the two. I'm using LabVIEW 2011 SP1 with the DSC module.

    I opened the Manager of distributed systems OR to display the State of all variables in the Modbus Library that I created, and I noticed that the ILO CommFail permanently the value 'true '. All other variables with a 'read' access mode signal "failure of process". I tried to restart the process and stop and start the local variable engine without success. I also restarted my computer several times to see if any services did not exist, but this does not appear to have solved the problem.

    Finally, I resorted to listening to communications on the network card I have the PLC connected via Ethernet using Wireshark and found that while Modbus Poll communicates with PLC, number of MODBUS and TCP packet is sent and received. However, when using only LabVIEW or the DSM OR communicate with the controller, there don't seem to be any communication on the network card.

    Something that may be interesting to note is that I could communicate with the PLC and to read values with the DSM just once, when I understood everything first what address I should be reading of. All of this has stopped working shortly after. Prior to this, 'CommFail' was not generally set to 'true' with my current setup. Thinking it was my firewall, I have since disabled my firewall, but this seems to have had no effect on the problem either.

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    So, I thought about it. It turns out that the IP address of the server i/o MODBUS must be set to the address of the MODBUS slave, not the local computer. The address of the i/o MODBUS server is defined by the navigation in the Explorer window projects, expanding the variable engine shared library for MODBUS and right click on the server MODBUS (for example Modbus1) item and select Properties.

    In addition, the addresses seem to be shifted by + 1.

    Thanks for the tip so.
