Connect Windows Form App to Siemens TIA Portal S7-1200 series PLC
This project is basically a Windows Forms application. It communicates with a Siemens S7-1200 series PLC running on the "TIA Portal" application via TCP/IP protocol. All these actions are recorded in the MySQL database to be reported later.
Client Side is C# Windows Form Application. All control and reporting is done through this application.
CPU Side is Siemens S7-1200 Series PLC project on TIA Portal Application. The PLC computer in this project performs the commands it receives from the Windows Form application over the TCP/IP protocol.
It is a MySQL database that records every action done through the Windows Form application for reporting.
A 'Net to PLC' application is needed to create the necessary TCP/IP protocol connection so that the actions performed on the Windows Form application programmed with C# language on the Visual Studio IDE can reach the S7-1200 series PLC running on the PLC simulation module embedded in the TIA Portal. heard and downloaded and installed.
I downloaded and installed the 'XAMPP' program to create the server required for database access.
