Alist,
I am trying to put together a system of Siemens 3 TP170Bs on mobile cranes. They are to interface with a s7300, probably a 315-2Dp processor, via industrial wireless radios. The requirements of the TP in the crane are they will display some recipe information as far as recipe name, layer weight, product, product setpoint, total weight, etc... The panel will also forward the some binary as well as numeric information from the operator to the PLC. None of this information is for machine control, just recipe selection.
Does anyone know if this can be done in the following configuration...
TP170B to radio link to a CP341 loaded with the Modbus Slave driver, having a total of 3 CP341, with a radio pair for each station. (6 radios, 3 TPs, 3 CP341s, 1 CPU).
The reason I ask here is that in the ST80 (2003) manual, the system interfaces tables show that the TP communicates PPI to the S7200 and to the S7300/400 via MPI or Profibus. It is not expressly stated that I can use a PPI for the TP to the S7300.
The S7300 has been chosen here as the engineering dept. programmers have been trained and are familiar with S7300 programming environment.
Thanks,
Chris C.
