Interfacing ABB AC450 to Siemens S7

R

Thread Starter

Richard K

We would like to connect a ABB node directly to a Siemens S7 for exchanging data (Bits, integers and text). I have read some posts that this is possible using VIP. Has anybody got experience with implementing this interface.

The ABB-side is covered, but the S7 is unknown.

Any advice is welcome

With regard

I'm confused what you mean by "VIP" on an AC450 controller.

The ABB controller will support Modbus RTU and Siemens serial links or Profibus, all of which should be supported by S7.

Be warned that although AC450 has a profibus interface available this interface is quite difficult to program on the ABB side.
