Local and Remote Control and Monitoring Through SmartClient and WebServer of an Industrial Network of an S7-1200 and a LOGO! PLC Based on the Industrial Ethernet Protocol for Electro-Pneumatic Processes

Abstract:

This research contains the design of an Industrial Network using the Industrial Ethernet-based communication protocol (Profinet) applied to the electro-pneumatic control of a distributed system of discrete processes, with the purpose of establishing a send/receive of data between an S7-1200 controller that acts as a server and two LOGO controllers that act as clients. For this network, local monitoring was established through a TP-700 screen, which is linked to the Siemens Sm@rt Client application, which allows monitoring processes from a Pc System and a smartphone mobile device, while activating the WebServer in the controller, which is a server to control and monitor processes on the web. From the study carried out, it is concluded that Profinet is an Ethernet protocol that allows the transfer of data in real time, which is suitable for applications that require a fast response. This protocol uses an industrial Ethernet network that supports high speeds, recommended for applications of high complexity. An important aspect to consider when deploying both the Sm@rt Client application and the WebServer is that they must be connected either wirelessly or by Ethernet cable to the intranet where the processes are implemented in order to ensure that the two applications work correctly.
