Hello friends, I have several Profinet slaves connected to an S7-1200 via Profinet. I am looking to receive alarms and diagnostics from these devices, specifically IO-Link Masters. Does anyone have a straightforward example code to share for this purpose? Thank you in advance!
Siemens offers a comprehensive IO Link library on SIOSsupport.industry.siemens.com. Explore a wide range of resources and support available for IO Link technology.
While the "LIOLink_Diagnose" function block is effective for Siemens IO-Link masters, it is not compatible with third-party IO-Link masters. Can anyone provide an example of how to retrieve diagnostics, events, and alarms from third-party IO-Link masters? Your assistance is much appreciated!
To access diagnostics, use the RDREC block, a key tool utilized by Siemens FB. The data can be obtained easily, but its interpretation may require additional documentation from the third-party manufacturer. For a more in-depth understanding, refer to the literature provided by the manufacturer.
Hey! Understanding and incorporating Profinet diagnostics in your system is crucial for smooth performance. While I don't have any example code handy, I recommend going through the programmable logic controller (PLC) software documentation. Look for communication blocks specifically meant for Profinet IO diagnostics. The S7-1200 has built-in diagnostics and alarm handling system for Profinet devices including IO-Link Masters. You can monitor the alarms right from the PLC's TIA portal software. Connect with Siemens' technical support team if needed, they'll guide you on the specifics. Hope this helps!
Hi there! Unfortunately, I don't have any example code to share off-hand, but I recommend looking into the TIA portal when programming your S7-1200, as it should be capable of generating diagnostic and alarm information for your Profinet devices. There's a handy function called "Get_Diagnosis_Info" available that could be helpful for this purpose. Couple that with the SFB53/SFC54 to read slave diagnostic info. It may require a bit of troubleshooting initially, but this should point you in the right direction. Hope this helps!
Hi there, I've found that when it comes to utilizing Profinet with an S7-1200 and receiving diagnostics, the TIA portal's diagnostic buffer can be quite beneficial. While I don't have an exact code to share here right now, you should be able to easily access this tool in your PLC's programming software. You may also want to try utilizing S7 integrated system functions for IO-Link Masters' diagnostics. Hope this steer confirms helpful in the right direction!
Hi! While I don't have specific example code on hand, I can suggest starting with the TIA Portal's built-in diagnostic functions for Profinet devices. You can use the 'Alarm' and 'Diagnostic' blocks to easily retrieve and log alarms from your IO-Link Masters. Make sure to check the device manual for specific error codes and diagnostics data structure; it really helps in interpreting the information. Also, consider implementing a handling routine to manage these alarms efficiently in your PLC program. Good luck!
Hey there! It sounds like a fun project you're working on with the S7-1200 and Profinet. For receiving alarms and diagnostics from IO-Link Masters, I would recommend setting up a cyclical read for the alarm status and using the IO-Link diagnostic data structure. If you haven't already, check out Siemens' TIA Portal examples; they often have snippets that can get you started. Also, ensure that you've configured the right data types for your IO-Link devices; it makes a difference in how the alarms are interpreted. If you need more specific help, feel free to share more about your setup!
