review the following information for setting up and configuring the siemens s5 ethernet (gen1) driver litmus edge compatible series compatibility parameter compatible items driver type ethernet validated devices/series s5 to set up and configure this device in litmus edge, you will need to do the following step 1 set up and configure the plc device step 2 set up the plc device in litmus edge devicehub step 3 configure the list of registers step 1 set up and configure the plc device if the device is configured for ethernet access, find its network parameters otherwise, follow the steps below to configure your device note down the following information and refer to it when needed device simatic s5 95u communication i/f ethernet softing s5 pclink ethernet gateway refer to the following figure launch s5 lan manager step5/st v7 23, click search in the local network to browse the gateway hardware, and then click settings to set up the network parameters launch plc vcom and click configure to configure the s5 pclink to have a virtual port along with its ip make sure the status is connected launch step 5, and then click file > project > set from the plc page, double click offline connect to the device step 2 set up the plc device in litmus edge devicehub configure the following parameters when you connect a device docid 3eyafppweuvmblcey17sq with this driver update default values to the specific setup of your device parameter value type siemens driver siemens s5 ethernet (gen1) network address the device address you defined in step 1 port 102 step 3 configure the list of registers when you add tags docid 8se7z3pmrfwl1nmzcwalx to the connected device, refer to the following register table and tag parameters refer to the following additional resources device and tag metadata use case docid 583p fbuozem6whgrdgkq tag formula variables docid\ ifbwcou90qtfodk hrysr register table name value type address format min address max address a bit, byte, sint, word, int, dword, dint dddd 0 1277 c word, int ddd 0 127 e bit, byte, sint, word, int, dword, dint dddd 0 1277 f bit, byte, sint, word, int, dword, dint dddd 0 2557 i bit, byte, sint, word, int, dword, dint dddd 0 1277 m bit, byte, sint, word, int, dword, dint dddd 0 2557 q bit, byte, sint, word, int, dword, dint dddd 0 1277 t word ddd 0 127 z word, int ddd 0 127 db bit, left byte, right byte, word, int, counter, timer, dword, dint, real, string ddddddd 0 3276715 tag parameters name select a register name from the drop down list the available options depend on the names in the register table value type select a data type from the drop down list the available options depend on the register name selected polling interval enter a value in seconds this determines how often the tag should poll the register for data tag name enter a name for the tag description (optional) enter a description for the tag address enter a tag address the value must in the decimal format, within the allowed min/max range omit the leading zeros the device might use the decimal (d), hexadecimal (h), or octal (o) address format see the register table at the bottom of the dialog box for bit tags, append the bit address without the bit separator the lowercase letters in the address format indicate how many digits you should enter in the bit address db number enter the data block number of the tag count enter the number of register values to read a count higher than 1 will generate an array of values from the address value configured and respective subsequent address values tag formula enter a formula for the tag to process the generated data two variables are permitted value (current tag value) and timestamp (current tag unix time in milliseconds) the following math functions are available sin cos sqrt tan power power( x ) performs the operation 10^x log log( x ) is the natural logarithm (the logarithm is in base e ) exp exp( x ) performs the operation e^x only publish on change of value select the checkbox to customize nats messages to be published only when the value parameter changes from a previous value to a new one change of value only applies to boolean, numeric (such as int or float), and simple string data types it does not apply to complex types, such as json or array poll once topics will not be affected by change of value settings these topics will still only see a single message meta data metadata summarizes basic information about data this feature allows you to define key value pair data for the device output payload later on it can then be used to find, use, and reuse particular instances of data note if you use special characters in meta data key names, the special characters are replaced with underscore characters in the payload this can cause two key names to be combined into one for example, configuring the key names a b and a&\&b will cause only one key name to be created (a b)
