Description This entry includes sample programs and documentation for communication from SIMATIC S5 modules to SIMATIC S7 modules by way of PROFIBUS using the FDL protocol.
In the sample programs below we use the services SEND and RECEIVE of the FDL protocol for data communication between SIMATIC S5 modules and SIMATIC S7 modules.
In the sample programs below we use the services SEND and RECEIVE of the FDL protocol for data communication between SIMATIC S5 modules and SIMATIC S7 modules. Data communication is by way of a multicast connection, i.e. the active partner sends a message to a group of nodes. Receipt of data is not acknowledged.
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.
