Hello, I don't have Schneider's EcoStruxure Control Expert, but I do have Codesys. I have a Modbus TCP server device and the only available program for it is the sample program in EcoStruxure. I am looking to understand the PLC program, particularly the Modbus TCP settings and the section that sends out Modbus TCP queries, in order to replicate it in Codesys. If you have EcoStruxure Control Expert and are willing to help, please message me and I can share the .stu project file via an FTP link. Thank you.
Download the latest version of Control expert software, either 15 or 16, from the Schneider Electric website to access a free trial period of 20-40 days upon installation.
Thank you for sharing this information. I was unaware of this and I am excited to give it a try.
Converting files from .STU to .STA can be done easily in Control Expert by simply renaming or repackaging the archive. .STU files can be tricky to exchange as they contain the entire project database specific to that version. If you encounter compatibility issues, reassembling the database for your version should solve the problem. Additionally, consider converting to .XEF for more flexibility in editing and scripting. This process may require extracting from .ZEF in newer versions. Off-the-shelf conversion products often utilize similar methods for transforming code for different applications.
Thank you, modiconguy, for clarifying. Your insights are greatly appreciated.
Hey there, I'd be glad to assist you with this. I've been using Schneider's EcoStruxure Control Expert for a few years, so I have some experience to share. If you could share the FTP link along with any crucial sections you're interested in, I could walk you through the relevant parts and the equivalent settings in Codesys. Let's bridge this gap between EcoStruxure and Codesys and ensure you get your Modbus TCP server device functioning correctly.
Sure, I'd be happy to help as I navigate through EcoStruxure Control Expert quite often. I can certainly take a look at the .stu project file and try to give you a thorough understanding of the Modbus TCP settings and query section. I believe there would be plenty of similarities that can be applied to Codesys. Please go ahead and send the FTP link.
Hi there! I have some experience with both EcoStruxure Control Expert and Codesys, and I understand your challenge. Modbus TCP communication can indeed be a bit tricky at first glance. While I wouldn't be able to personally deep dive into your project, I would suggest examining the function block related to Modbus in EccosStruxure Control Expert's sample program and try to tailor that to your Codesys program. There are some great resources online that discuss the specifics of handling Modbus TCP in Codesys that you might find very helpful. Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions!
Hi there, I have some familiarity with both EcoStruxure Control Expert and Codesys and I'm willing to help. Modbus TCP communications are pretty standard, though there might be some nuances between these platforms you're jumping between. Perhaps we could go over the TCP settings and commands/code sections you're struggling with? Feel free to send over the .stu project file via FTP, and I'll take a look at it as soon as I can.
Hey there! I don't have EcoStruxure either, but I have some experience with Modbus TCP in Codesys. If you can describe the specific functions or parameters you want to replicate, I might be able to help you piece together what you're looking for. Maybe we can figure out how the Modbus TCP communication is structured and how to send those queries based on the specs. Let me know what you find in the sample program, and we can brainstorm together!
