One has to be really careful with indexing, so what I usually do when creating the buffer is to use the real offset of the variable and to subtract the start index.

Also, since our buffer starts from 4.0, we must set the start index to 4. So we need to create a buffer of 12 bytes, populate the first 4 with a real number, the 4th-7th with a Dint number, the 8th -12th with a DWord number. In this case we want to write these values: We have to create a buffer, populate it with the data (converted in S7 format) that we need to write, and then call the Write function. The Write function works in a way which is really similar to the Read function. Result = client.DBRead(1, 0, 18, db1Buffer) Ĭonsole.WriteLine("Error: " + client.ErrorText(result)) Ĭonsole.WriteLine("DB1.DBW2: " + db1dbw2) ĭouble db1ddd4 = S7.GetRealAt(db1Buffer, 4) Ĭonsole.WriteLine("DB1.DBD4: " + db1ddd4) ĭouble db1dbd8 = S7.GetDIntAt(db1Buffer, 8) Ĭonsole.WriteLine("DB1.DBD8: " + db1dbd8) ĭouble db1dbd12 = S7.GetDWordAt(db1Buffer, 12) Ĭonsole.WriteLine("DB1.DBD12: " + db1dbd12) ĭouble db1dbw16 = S7.GetWordAt(db1Buffer, 16) Ĭonsole.WriteLine("DB1.DBD16: " + db1dbw16) Then pass it to the Read function to populate it with the data from the cpu, then convert all the data from S7 format to C# format.įor example this is the code to read this DB: To read for example 18 bytes, we need to create an array of 18 bytes. Reading from a single db is also simple, but you must be comfortable with using buffers, converters and the snap7 functions. Int result = client.ConnectTo("127.0.0.1", 0, 1) Ĭonsole.WriteLine("Connected to 127.0.0.1") Ĭonsole.WriteLine(client.ErrorText(result)) Then we will reference the Sharp7 project in all the project that we need.ĭriver creation, connection and disconnection are really easy to do. When importing Sharp7, the best approach is to create a C# Class library project and place Sharp7 sources inside that project. So let’s uncheck optimized block access for every DB (under program blocks) and configure the CPU protection. This unit has to be configured properly (see page 12 of the user manual). In this example we will connect to a S7-1200 plc.

STEP 7 SIEMENS TUTORIAL HOW TO

It will show how to connect/disconnect, read and write block of DB and multiple variables. To test the library we will write a simple console program. Helpers and example (57- 61): contains the definition of conversion function from.Read/Write function description (27-34): contains the definition of the functions that you will use the most, to read and write memory area.Connection parameters (page 22-26): this one explains how to setup IP, rack and slot of the plc, in order to be able to communicate.Connection (page 10-11-12): this section shows how to setup and configure the CPU and DB to grant the access to external software.S7300-S7400 supports every function, while newer plcs can only read and write data. Compatibility (page 9): this section shows the compatibility of the library functions with the plc that you are using.

STEP 7 SIEMENS TUTORIAL MANUAL

The library comes itself with a complete user manual and examples for Windows Forms, Universal Windows Platform and a simple Console application.Īs for the manual, there are some sections that are really important:

STEP 7 SIEMENS TUTORIAL ARCHIVE

The downloaded archive contains 3 folders: Sharp7 can be downloaded from Sourceforge download page: Now ReadMultiVars and WriteMultiVars don’t require pointers and memory management. You can place a breakpoint in Visual Studio and debug the messages sent and received from the TCP socket without having to leave Visual Studio and without having to use network sniffers or other external software.Īlso with Sharp7 it’s easier to read/write multiple variables in a single request than with Snap7.

STEP 7 SIEMENS TUTORIAL FULL

One of the biggest advantages of having the full library in C# is during debugging. So if you were using Snap7 and the C# wrapper, you can easily replace both with Sharp7 library.

STEP 7 SIEMENS TUTORIAL DRIVER

The driver has been written by Davide Nardella, the author of Snap7 library, and it’s retro-compatible with the C# wrapper of Snap7. Sharp7 is a new C# driver to communicate to Siemens S7 Plc.
