Sir,

I've been trying to establish communication with S7 1500 PLC. Trying to read IW0, MD0.

While starting the IOC, I don't get any syntax error etc. The message shows following:

#!../../bin/linux-x86_64/myS7

2023/08/01 21:01:20.283 HallPLC error while reading 4 bytes from PLC address FB0.

IOC name is myS7 and following is the hall1.db file. It resides in the same st.cmd directory:

record(ai, "hall_ip1")

{

field(SCAN,"1 second")

field(DTYP,"s7nodave")

field(INP, "@HallPLC(DLV=0,DHV=27648) IW0 int16")

field(EGU,"V")

}

record(ai, "hall_uvolt")

{

field(SCAN,"1 second")

field(DTYP,"s7nodave")

field(INP, "@HallPLC MD0 float")

field(EGU,"V")

}

Please suggest solution for the same.

Regards,

Abhishek Dutta
