I have a modicon plc with modbus serial port and TSX Micro Serve. I want the PLC data to be brought to ethernet level. I am writing a program to get the date from the PLC. Who an give me a program resoure to solve the problem?

Best Regards.

If you want to get data from a TSX MICRO from ETHERNET, you must use a device that convert the serial PORT RS485 on MICRO to ETHERNET. The protocol on ETHERNET is MODBUS TCP/IP over the port 502 for MODICON. A scada can be a CLIENT of the BRIDGE (like WONDERWARE o PCIM) and you don´t need to progame de MICRO for this. The terminal port is passed to MODBUS slave with the serial cable.

Some device for do this is 174CEV30010 of MODICON.

 

Dear friend,

Since 2001 Schneider launched a Ethernet module for the TSX Micro. There are 2 options: TSXETZ410 or TSXETZ510. The difference is if it has a personalized webserver or not.

Take care: those modules can only be used with the CPU's 37-10, 21 or 22.

If you have a CPU 37-05 or 37-08, you must use a Ethernet / Modbus bridge, like the 174CEV30010.

 

The TSX ETZ web server module connects to the serial port of the TSX Micro PLC and has an ethernet port. Is supports embedded web pages (8 Meg of memory) so you can see some live data with just a web browser, or you can poll the module via Ethernet (TCP/IP modbus) with a scada package.

You can get details on it from "www.modicon.com":http://www.modicon.com . Under PLC's choose Micro, then choose product information, publications.

 

A solution to getting the PLC on Ethernet is the ICPDAS Serial to Ethernet convertor. It, in its basic format, allows you to make extra Com ports on your computer over Ethernet. When you use the device you'll have your PLC serial port wired to the Com port on it, and instead of selecting Com1 as you normally would when using your computer to talk to the PLC, you'll use the Com port you set the ICP device to, Com3 all the way to Com256.
