The Siemens TI505 driver implements communication with Simatic TI505 devices. For TCP/IP communication, the driver uses both CAMP and CAMP Packed Task Code messaging protocols for efficient data transfer.

Channel Configuration

Protocol Type

The driver supports the protocols below:

  • CAMP
  • CAMP+Packed Task Code

Protocol Options

None

Settings

TCP/IP channels

NodeConnections: Defines the maximum number of parallel requests that will be sent to each node (asynchronous communication)


Node Configuration

Station Configuration

TCP/IP channels:

Station syntax: <IP address>;<Port>

Where:

    • <IP address> = The IP address of the slave device in the network
    • <Port> = The TCP/IP Port. Default is 1505

E.g.: 192.168.1.101;1505


Point Configuration

The syntax for the SiemensTI505 communication points is: <DataType><Address>

Where:

    • <DataType> indicates the memory area. The valid values are:


DataTypeVariables 
VMemory
MMemory
XDiscrete Input Packed
YDiscrete Output Packed
CControl Register Packed
WXWord Input
WYWord Output
TCPTime/Counter Preset
TCCTime/Counter Current
DSPDrum Step Preset
DSCDrum Step Current
DCPDrum Count Preset
STWSystem Status Word
DCCDrum Current Count


For more information about the valid data type, see Supported Operands.

  • <Address> indicates the data address in the memory area, from 1 to 65535

E.g.: V100 (DataType = V, Address = 100)

Note

For Floating Point format, select "Single DataType", and set the Modifiers column option for "WordSwap" to "True".


Troubleshoot

The status of the driver's execution can be observed through the diagnostic tools, which are:

• Trace window
• Property Watch
• Module Information

The above tools indicate if the operations have succeeded or have failed. A status of 0 (zero) means communication is successful. Negative values indicate internal driver errors, and positive values indicate protocol error codes.
