example for SIMATIC STEP 7

System Architecture: GW-7553 is a PROFIBUS slave and Modbus slave device.

GW-7553

Directory

Example 1:Receives AO data from Modbus master.

Example 2: Rceives DO data from Modbus master.

Example 3: Rereshes DI data to Modbus master.

Example 4: Rereshes AI data to Modbus master.

Example 1: PLC receives AO data from Modbus master.

SIMATIC STEP 7 Edit

1. HW Config. – configure GW-7553 (ex: System setting module x1, Input Register—2 word module x1)

2. HW Config – Parameter assignment (ex: Com port settings, Modbus type: Slave, Modbus format:
TCP, Byte Order: Big Endian). Confirm the GW-7553’s Com Port setting is the same with MBTCP tool
(ex: baud rate-115200, data bits-8, stop bits-1, parity-none). About the MBTCP tool, please refer to the
“Communication test” in the below.
