Description This entry includes sample programs and documentation for using the PROFIBUS FMS (Fieldbus Message Specification) protocol for data communication between SIMATIC S5 modules and SIMATIC S7 modules as well as for data communication between SIMATIC S5 modules and PCs.
The following services of the PROFIBUS FMS protocol are used for data communication:
READ and WRITE Data communication between SIMATIC S5 modules and SIMATIC S7 modules is by way of PROFIBUS FMS using the Layer 7 services READ and WRITE.
Data communication between SIMATIC S5 modules and PCs is by way of PROFIBUS FMS using the Layer 7 services READ and WRITE..
REPORT Data communication between SIMATIC S5 modules and SIMATIC S7 modules is by way of PROFIBUS FMS using the Layer 7 service REPORT.
The document below contains
- An overview of the plant configuration used for creating the sample programs.
- An introduction to the blocks required and their communication structure.
- Details of the user programs of SIMATIC S5 and SIMATIC S7.
- Information on how to use the sample programs.
- Other notes, tips and tricks, etc.
