Connecting Wago Controller 100 with Simatic S7-1200 SPS

Hardware and Linux

Hello,

I’m new and I’ve been assigned to write a program (loaded in a docker container) which extracts data from the my sps via the wago controller. Sadly i didn’t have a lot of success with the connection between the two devices (Ethernet). The program itself works, i tried it while debugging on my PC connected to the SPS (Ethernet). For the connection and data extraction I’m using Sharp7. I’m not sure what I’m missing. Has anyone done this before?

Thanks in advance

Hello,
Which SPS (PLC) are you using? There are many protocols supported (Ethernet/IP, ModbusTCP, OPC/UA, MQTT, are a few), so it would help to know which one you would like to use. An easy way to get started with Docker is Node-RED, there are many tutorials out there and has seen wide adoption in ICS over the last 5 years.

Hello,

I managed to make it work in the end. With a Ethernet Connection between the Wago and my SPS (is a Simatic S7-1200), I was able to extract and save data. I used the Sharp7 protocol and put my program in a Docker Container and it worked just fine.
