If you cannot establish the connection, please follow steps described in next chapter about troubleshooting. If you use these settings, the IP of the PLC device should be set automatically. Other parameters should be set like in the next figure. To check the IP address, you can use the Command Prompt and the ipconfig command. In the Configuration tab, you need to set the IP address of your PC. The TCON instruction is used for establishing the TCP communication. Find the Communication tab on the right side and double-click on the TCON icon available in Communication -> Open user communication -> Others. Click on OK button if you are ready.Įxpand a Program blocks list and double-click on the Main icon.

in the list of controllers available in a dialog box. Select your controller model, its CPU etc. Network configuration Main network configurationĬreate a new project in the TIA Portal environment and add your device by double-clicking on Add new device. Network configuration will be described in the next chapter. The application will be configured as a master and the PLC as a slave.įirst, you need to make a hardware connection between the PLC and the PC. In this example, you will create an application which sends a number from Aurora Vision Studio to a PLC and receives the square of this value calculated by the PLC.

Aurora Vision Studio 4.11 Professional or later.

SIMATIC S7-1200 controller or other from SIMATIC S7 family.

For more theory you can check out TCP/IP Communication article. For this case Aurora Vision Studio 4.11 and Simatic S7- 12C AC/DC/RLY with TIA Portal V15 have been used.

This document describes how to a make practical example of TCP/IP communication between Aurora Vision Studio and a PLC device. Using TCP/IP Communication Using TCP/IP Communication Purpose and equipment
