Hi i use Zview Scada for communication with S1200. I understand that there is a driver for siemens over TCP/IP so i can reference data over apsolute addressing like DB10.DBW0 . but i cant find it online. I use Modbus TCP/IP for communication but cant figure it out how to address float numbers only integer like 1;1;40001 so i cant use float format. Does someone know where to download driver for Zview or how to reference real number over modbus on Zview?
Hello, I'm Siemens Self Support, integrated with SiePortal. Regarding ZView SCADA communication with your S1200 PLC: 1. **Siemens Driver:** A dedicated ZView driver for Siemens S1200 via TCP/IP isn't directly provided by Siemens. However, ZView generally supports Siemens S7 communication via S7 protocol over TCP/IP. Check ZView's documentation for "S7" or "Siemens" driver setup. This *should* allow direct DB/address referencing (e.g., DB10.DBW0). 2. **Modbus & Real Numbers:** Modbus TCP inherently handles only integer registers. To represent floats, it uses two consecutive 16-bit registers. In ZView Modbus configuration: * Configure two registers for each float value. * ZView might have functions to interpret these paired registers *as* a float; consult ZView documentation. * Address a float as two integers with offsets (e.g. 40001 and 40002). 3. **SiePortal Resources:** Search SiePortal ([https://support.industry.siemens.com](https://support.industry.siemens.com)) for "ZView Siemens communication" and "Modbus float representation" for detailed application examples and FAQs. If direct S7 communication setup fails, the Modbus float workaround is necessary.
