I have never attempted communication with Profibus previously. How can I access and interpret the Error code from the Vetaphone Corona treatment unit? Thank you in advance. What does the code "I 6" signify? Could it be the byte value of a bit? Am I on the right track? I want to confirm that purchasing the Profibus module for S7-1200 will be effective.
I am confused about the setup required for communication between your PLC and the Vetaphone Corona device. To enable this communication, your PLC should be configured as a Profibus DP master, with the necessary network parameters added, the GSD file for the Vetaphone Corona device installed in the TIA portal's device catalogue, the device added to the PLC program from the catalogue, and the Profibus DP address set accordingly. Additionally, the I/O memory area in your program needs to be assigned for data mapping from the slave device to the PLC. Finally, the program should be built and downloaded to the PLC for testing the communication using the TIA portal.
AlfredoQuintero mentioned a concern regarding the configuration of the PLC and its communication with the Vetaphone Corona device. To ensure proper communication, the PLC should be set up as a Profibus DP master. This involves adding network parameters, installing the GSD file for the Vetaphone Corona in the TIA portal device catalog, adding the device to the PLC program, and setting the Profibus DP address. Additionally, the I/O memory area in the program should be assigned for data mapping. After building and downloading the program, use the TIA portal to verify communication with the field device. AlfredoQuintero also shared progress on finding the GSD file and asked for clarification on the incorrect configuration settings.
Could you kindly upload the GSD file for review? The screenshot provided does not clearly show the configured slots. It is crucial that the slots configured in the TIA Portal match the physical slots connected to the PROFIBUS coupler. This alignment is necessary for proper communication and functionality.
AlfredoQuintero inquired about the GSD file, as it is not visible in the screenshot to determine the configured slots. It is essential for the slots configured in the TIA Portal to match the physical slots connected to the PROFIBUS coupler. Access the GSD file here for further reference.
Tientan: Can you tell me where you obtained the GSD file? It seems unusual as it lacks a description for physical IO and does not have any IO data mapped to the PLC memory, which leads me to believe it may be incorrect. I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer's technical support for the accurate GSD data.
You're on the right track! The Profibus DP module for S7-1200 should help facilitate easy communication with your Vetaphone Corona treatment unit. Regarding the "I 6" error code, it may refer to a specific error condition coined by Vetaphone, so you might want to look into their documentation/manual for a more decisive explanation. If it doesn't lead you to a conclusion, it might be worth contacting their support. They're generally helpful with these types of inquiries.
