libkbus_register_settings

Open habipyesilyurt opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

Hi, As I understand, libkbus_register_settings is used for configuring 750-652 terminals. Is it possible to use the library for configuring other types of terminals. For example, I want to configure an analog input voltage range as -10 to +10V. Or change the analog input module mode from voltage to current measurement. If it is possible to use the library for other modules, how can I find the register sets of other specific modules?

I'm also curious how to do this. Already asked this question via Wago support in the Netherlands, but we are already waiting for months for an answer / example. Reason for the question is that we don't want to bother about the setting when assembling a new system. We are running our own C-based application on the PLC and it would make life much easier for production if the software can automatically configure the modules.

Hi @sjoerdboerhout, is it possible to get more information about your C-based application? It's just a professional interest.

I can’t give you very detailed information as it involves the intellectual property of the company I work for. The company developed it own C-based software platform to control the systems we build. The PLC we used before Wago are running the VRTX Operating system and we managed to port everything to Linux. The Wago Linux platform turned out to be a suitable new target system for our software platform. For the IO driver we use the library provided by Wago and integrated it into our software.

We can help you with that in case the project is big enough. Contact me via pn.

as far as I understood each Module has its own PDF manual (e.g. Product Manual DC Drive Controller Chapter 7 Process Image) describing the register it uses. Besides this description, the KBus itself also has a description how it allows to access these registers, this description is here. Maybe this helps someone. I could write Eclipse 4diac support for Wago 750-636 with the help of these two PDFs, even if I have a problem left, as my own issue shows.
