Communication of S7-1200 PLC with Quattro

I need to communicate a PLC Siemens S7-1200 with Quattro, could someone help me, please?

Hi, this is bordering on impossible, both companies have proprietary protocols and interfaces, i don’t see a single common ground.

I’m almost submersed in the siemens plc world, but the 1200 series is only used for low cost applications, i have only commisioned one since they exist, but ~50 s7-15××.

These are much more open and there are things like can interfaces etc, but that would at best connect you to a gx-device.

You should be able to use Modbus TCP/IP to read and Write the Cerbo’s modbus map.

Thx, learned something, good instructions on youtube.

Have to see if it will also work for logo8 :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

It seems it is only possible with a gx-device as interface, which makes this expensive and not really transparent.

Depending on what you want to achieve it might be simpler using digital and analog io.

Try using a beagle bone or Rpi as a Venus interface, these are really flexible.
