What is difference between Synchronous & Asynchronous Read/Write ?

[@mohcineseddi8362]

Hey i have an issue with support licence of kepware

[@souhailkamali9223]

Thanks for the video ... My question please how can I read data from sql server To PLC using kepserver

[@electricalautomation]

Please search the manual of 'KEPServer connects SQL' from KEPSever website. Then use the ""Variable Bridge" to exchange the channel for PLC data and channel for SQL

[@sksingh6324]

I am trying to use these settings but unfortunately the tag shows Bad in Kepserver. PLC is running in Plant, some more settings we have to do in PLC ?

[@electricalautomation]

You properly missed some configuration, please check from 11:30 to 22:40. Also check the 6:30.

[@sksingh6324]

@@electricalautomation There is one permission in TIA PLC HW, " permit access with put/get communication from remote partner", should I Click it ?, Does PLC go to stop mode to execute this?, Our plant is running with this PLC.

[@electricalautomation]

@@sksingh6324 Yes, you can try to enable this option, but you need to compile and download and stop the CPU, because it is a hardware configuration modification download.

[@sksingh6324]

@@electricalautomation done using this setting, Thanks

[@electricalautomation]

@@sksingh6324 Thanks for your sharing, I will update this tips under the video. Thanks!

Hi quick question, would this work for a HMI OPC UA client? I'm integrating a Siemens Tp700 comfort onto a OPC UA server and it would be great to some testing on a software like this to learn how it works and get a better view of the communications. Thank you so much!

[@electricalautomation]

Yes, you can use Siemens TP700 Comfort HMI as OPC UA Client to connect a OPC UA Server, please find the manual from the link : support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109772341/communication-between-a-beckhoff-plc-and-a-comfort-panel-via-opc-ua?dti=0&lc=en-CA

[@alejandrobocanegra8272]

When I use the %MWO it doesn't send any data, can you help me? Thanks

[@geokou18]

Hello, Great Work. How can we communicate easy with older PLC like s7 300 via OPC?

[@electricalautomation]

Hi, typically it would be two ways: 1. use OPC software e.g. Siemens SIMATIC NET - OPC Server, or KepServerEX. 2. using S7-1200/1500 as a bridge, S7-1200/1500 can communicate with S7-300 via Profinet IO or S7 communication TCP/IP.

[@md.shahedulalam6073]

Thanks for the tutorial. Can you please create one using Beckhoff's PLC to KEPServerEx?

[@electricalautomation]

Thanks for your watching. Will be in my plan. Just not too soon, would be one or two weeks after. I am focusing and working on a new play list kzbin.info/aero/PL762SfoJC-e_1CtDQoRe6PYEG6Iz_zdvz. After the recent peak time, I will shift gear on Beckhoff, Thanks!

[@electricalautomation]

Hi Please check the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5nTc2uMgKqrjdk and kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppPcmZeqrL6afMk Beckhoff and KepServerEX connection. Especially for the scenario where the laptop without installing TwinCAT 3 software but installed KepserverEX.

[@alejandrobocanegra8272]

Does it works for a real PLC S7-1200? Without plcsim

[@electricalautomation]

In the video, I was using the real hardware S7-1200 PLC.

[@ThanhNguyen-os2wi]

Good video sir. Can Kepware modify data to PLC?

[@electricalautomation]

Yes, please check the17:00 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gai2aJJ5rq5jqJY, there is a setting for each variable "Client Access: Read/Write", the variable set with Read/Write or write will be available to be modified at the Client and the PLC data will be modified.

[@ThanhNguyen-os2wi]

@@electricalautomation thank you sir. I have 1 more question. Can we monitor PLC data without putting it in a Data Block (DB)? Currently I have a counter in the main program and I want to monitor the current count value, which I set as MW10. So can MW10 be put on Kepware? Tks in advance

[@electricalautomation]

@@ThanhNguyen-os2wi Yes M address is available in Kepserver. But you need to check the syntax for the M address format.

[@ThanhNguyen-os2wi]

@@electricalautomation Thank you sir. I saw a lot of your videos connecting Kepware to PLCs. But can Kepware connect to HMIs? In specific, I want to connect a Siemens HMI to my PC and then extract HMI tags to WinCC. So can I put HMI tags from WinCC to Kepware? Thanks in advance

[@electricalautomation]

@@ThanhNguyen-os2wi Yes, WinCC Pro(I assume you are talking about WinCC professional) can ran as OPC UA Server or OPC UA Client. support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109479664/how-do-you-exchange-data-between-two-wincc-v7-5-computers-via-opc-ua-?dti=0&lc=en-WW.

[@mumbai614]

Hey I did exactly same steps shown in the video. I am using PLCSIM advance 2.0sp1, TIA portalv16 and kepserver ex6. But the quality of the tags showing up in opc client and matrikon is "bad". I am unable to find any work around please help.

[@electricalautomation]

You can try to use two laptops one for PLCSIM Advanced, one for Kepserver. Turnoff the windows firewall. Also try to use higher PLCSIM Adv revision. V2.0 is slightly old. It is V4.0 now.
