I hope it was useful. To my knowledge, you can connect redundant I/O to non-redundant CPUs in PCS7, but there are limitations and considerations. For instance, using redundant Modbus TCP/IP on PCS7 to communicate with non-redundant PLCs is possible but sub-optimal. Additionally, for true redundancy, you would need specific hardware configurations such as HF Interface Modules and S2 PROFINET features to ensure proper communication and avoid single points of failure. Without these, redundancy may not be fully achieved.

@@francisgremillet3894 thank you for the feedback. You don't have to use a T CPU for simple servo control. But with the technology CPUs (T-CPU) you can efficiently automate complex multi-axis systems and kinematics. With the "cross-PLC synchronous operation" function available in all T-CPUs, gear and cam synchronization can also be realized across CPUs, so that there are nearly no limits to the axis quantity.

@@serjonik9973 LOGO can subscribe to any MQTT topic but the topic payload should be in a predefined JSON format and it's a bit tricky. I'll do some tests and will record a quick video for it.

@@arenetasatrec4939 thanks for watching. I don't have a video for it but you're not the only person who asked for this feature so I will do a quick test and will record a short video for it in coming days.

Great question! If RIOs are just a node in the ring not redundant RIOs, they don't have to be connected and can be connected later. But Redundant RIO is a diffefent story. Here is a useful link: support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109767576/connection-of-redundant-i-o-devices-to-s7-1500?dti=0&lc=en-WW

@@mohammedrezk8072 thanks for your feedback. Setting the module up is fairly easy. The module has a web page and a basic wizard to set up the SIM provider APN, type of antenna, etc. The only tricky part could be defining firewall rules if you don't want to grant complete access. I will record a tutorial once I get access to a device 🙏

Thank you for the heads up. I just share videos to share knowledge. I'm not a professional content creator and don't know much about SEO on YT. But I should start working on it 👍

@@blociot Can I help you?

@@UniqueunlimitedBD thank you for your feedback.

@@Apphugs thank you for watching

Hi @@rezamahmoudi163 . This was part of a project. I'll prepare a short version and will publish as soon as I find some time.

Thank your for your feedback. Great question. To control a light switch from HA, you need to define a SWITCH instead of SENSOR on the yaml file. you can find the details here: www.home-assistant.io/integrations/switch.mqtt/ The only catch is the json payload format that needs to be defined under the SWITCH. Here is an example that you can use: { "state": { "reported": { "VM4": { "desc": "V-word-4-1", "value": [ 13 ] } } } } This payload write the value of 13 to VM4 which is defined in LOGO MQTT transfer area.

@@blociot Thank you! I'll try that when I have a chance to play with my lab 😁

@@Ind4.0 great application 👌

Exactly 👌

Great idea. I will make a quick video to explain different families in one quick video.

Hi Will. Exactly. You need to allow traffic between internal ports and the external port. Also, you need to define the participants groups and Subnet (your PLC IP address range) on your server under Devices and Network setting.

@blociot hi, thanks for the reply. I managed to get it working. On SINEMA RC server, I selected NAT mode 1:1 for the device and entered the IP subnet and now its working. Thanks, great video

Awesome. Thanks for watching. All the best

You may try Siemens industry mall for your country on the link below: mall.industry.siemens.com/goos/WelcomePage.aspx?regionUrl=/&language=en Or contact a local sales rep un your city to get the price with any possible deals.

Never used it. But curious what do you like about it? Seems over priced and the ladder IDE is too basic.

Hi Thorsten, You can try this link on SIOS: This is an upgrade. So you will need to have an oldef version su h ad v8.3 installed before running this upgrade support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109826553/download-and-installation-instructions-for-logo!-soft-comfort-upgrade-v8-4?dti=0&lc=en-US

@@blociotthank you! i downloaded a demo from those link you provided. but i dont know how to make a non demo version from it. i have to find out

@@thorstenfricke3257 if you had a previous version of LOGOsoft comfort on your machine, you don't need to do anything else. The file on the link upgrades your existing software. Otherwise, you have to do a one time purchase from your local Siemens rep. It's not an expensive software

@@blociot thank you

@@blociot it was much easier! reichelt sold the 8.4 sw! amazing! i was surprised when it came

Sure you can. Facebook messenger app is a good example that mostly uses MQTT for communications.

@@blociot Entonces si el logo envia las variables en un cloud como AWS. Un desarollador de app para movil podria crear una app ?

Hello, LOGO can be a MQTT client. It cannot be an MQTT broker. So if you have an MQTT broker, LOGO can publish or subscribe to data on the broker. It can also be connected to Homeassistant as an MQTT sensor, etc. with JSON payload

@@blociot Estamos hablando de una comunicación a nivel local... sin internet ? gracias.

Thank you for your feedback. Please send me a message on Linkedin. I can surely send it to you if I find it.

Hi Gino. I asked the local Siemens sales rep to send me. Just find a local sales rep and ask for it. You can try opening a support ticket on online support website to see if they have it.

Good point. There are some workarounds for some floating point applications. Have you seen the I/F and F/I functions? support.industry.siemens.com/cs/mdm/100782807?c=120748741643&dl=no&lc=fr-WW Out of curiosity, hat are you trying to do?

Hi Eduardo. If you have a MTP400 BASIC, it is only available in TIA V19. Unified basic panels are very new and introduced with TIA Portal V19.

@@blociot very helpful. Now I can't stablish a communication between PLC s7 1200 and my HMI MTP400. There's some detail that I'm missing?

@@eduardobrisolla1185 there are a few factors that can cause this issue. First, make sure you have an HMI connection defined between your PLC and HMI. Then make sire the time zone is the same for both devices. Finally, make sure the CPU security allows access to all devices and the certificate is valid.

Selected it accidentally, but liked it after :D

Sure. The CPU in this deno is connected to a Scalance switch on its right side.

But interface 2 haven't MRP can we connect directly

@@jr_electrical-Engg I am not sure if I fully understand your concern. You may send us a message on Linkedin to chat more with details. Overall, each CPU has two independent ports (X1 and X2). In this demo, X2 of each CPU is unused. So you may ise it for any purpose. But X2 is not a part of MRP ring so you won't get benefit of MRP ring. Overall, it's not a good idea to do it this way. If you need to add a switch, add it to the ring. Hope this helps

Thank you for your comment. Do you see the connection error? On LOGO side or on the MQTT client? You need to make sure your Mosquitto settings match what you enter in LOGO configs. If you have a username and password on the Mosquitto broker, you need to let LOGO know to connect!

Hi, Unfortunately, I don't have a video but if you could privide some details on the issue, I might be able to help. Most issues are related to IAM roles and AWS side.

Hi, The SMTP setting depends on the email address you are using. Just search for the SMTP setting on your email provider website.

8061 is most likely because your PLC cannot find the MQTT broker. Are you using a local MQTT broker or a cloud version? You need to make sure DNS is set up correctly if not using the IP address for the broker. Also, make sure you can ping both PLC and broker on the same network.

A bit busy with work trips. Recording part 2 is in progress. Stay tuned 🙏

Unfortunately, not yet. But there might be an unofficial way. For now, MQTT and email seems to be the best way to work with events. For sure middleware can be used too.

The demo was borrowed from local Siemens office :)

@blociot thanks for the reply. Didn't that was possible. Do you rent that or need to be a siemens certified partner?

@@MrDawen1997 anyone who want to buy a unit, they can ask for a demo for testing as long as the local office has a demo available. You should call them and ask.

Sure

@@blociot hello , i have a tia-portal v18 but i didint found hmi simatic unified confort panel . how can i do to get it plz?

@@achrafoulidi6548 you have to install it. It's on the same DVD as Step 7. If you haven't install it, just run the installation again and select modify and install WinCC Unified.

Glad it was useful. Stay tuned for the next video in the coming days.

Thank you for watching

I'll ahow on datasheet when we discuss the analog processing.

Sure. We will have a drdicated video for analog signal manipulation.

Short answer is not directly. But TIA Portal has a feature called Openness which let you do many tasks by scripting. It might be helpful to look at. You can send your data (an SCL code in your case) to the PLC, but therr should be another interface to receive the data and save it as a FB, FC, etc.

I don't have access to ACad at the moment, but that's a good idea. We will post a video about CAD, P&ID, etc

We will have a tutorial for HMI soon.

Great to hear that. Next tutorial is coming soon.

@@blociot really appreciate your efforts
