Hi,

looks like send and write Number value to the PLC not working:

After set some value for Rollershutter position and running the rule nothing happens on the PLC site, the value stil unchanged.
Here the rule:

rule "Roleta biuro"
when
    Item PietroBiuroRoleta received command
then
    if (!(receivedCommand instanceof Number))
        switch receivedCommand {
            case UP :    if (PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaStany.state <=1) {
                                 PietroBiuroRoleta.sendCommand(STOP) }
                            else
                                { PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaOtworz.sendCommand(ON)
                                 PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaOtworz.sendCommand(OFF) }
            case DOWN :  if (PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaStany.state <=1) {
                                 PietroBiuroRoleta.sendCommand(STOP) }  
                            else 
                                { PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaZamknij.sendCommand(ON)
                                 PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaZamknij.sendCommand(OFF) }
            case STOP :  if (PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaStany.state == 0) { 
                             PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaOtworz.sendCommand(ON)
                             PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaOtworz.sendCommand(OFF) }  
                         else if (PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaStany.state == 1) { 
                             PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaZamknij.sendCommand(ON)
                             PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaZamknij.sendCommand(OFF) }     
        }
    else
        if (receivedCommand instanceof Number && (PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaStany.state >= 2))
                       PLC_PietroBiuroRoletaPozycjaZ.sendCommand(receivedCommand)

Hi,

in OH.4.x.x we see strange INFO in log, however binding is working correct. Will you support OH.4.x.x?

Thanks

I just updated to openhab 4.0.1. On my previous version (3.4) I worked with the simatic bridge to connect to my S7-1500 PLC. I just installed the new simatic binding and I keep having the issure that the simatic bridge stays in state "UNKNOWN" instead of going online. Thanks in advance for the support! Let me know if more information is needed.

Hi,

I have regularly updated OH2 to latest snapshot now I’m on 2.5.0-1596, from less than two months simatic binding is a terrible slower complete system and consequently leads to a total system failure. I thing this behavior corespondent with latest changes in OH2. Downgrade to 2.5.0-M1 or remove Simatic binding solves this problem.

Can U check this behavior and fixed if possible?

Hi,

First of all, much love for this addon. Helped me a lot with my home automation system.

I run my openhab in a docker container on a RPI4.
And sometimes (1-3 times a month) my CPU starts to spike and I can see a high memory use.

I have logged this on the forums if there is a way to find the issue:
https://community.openhab.org/t/oh3-ramping-cpu-issue/126692

By analyzing I have found out that the simatic addon is taking a lot of CPU and keeps ramping up, same as memory.
I have around +-185 items connected to a simatic state. Polling is default and all of them using the DB addresses except 7 items that read state of an I address.

Before red is with simatic, between red and orange I was trying to set a different polling rate.
This didn't work, if I set a polling of +2s my switches would go on, but I couldn't turn them off.
After orange is without simatic addon.

System Info:

• Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4B - 4 Gb - 2.4 GHz
• Runtime: Docker Engine - Community Version 19.03.13
• Openhab: 3.2.0.M2 (Also happened on 3.1.0.M5)

Hi,

if I write a Doubleword in the PLC, it seems that High and Low words are reversed.

sample: Type chNumber: SPS_S7_300_Set_Uhrzeit [ stateAddress="DB1.DBD132", commandAddress="DB1.DBD132"]
State Adress is correct.
rule:

var Number x = SPS_S7_300_Set_Uhrzeit .state
// when I now sent the same value back:
SPS_S7_300_Set_Uhrzeit .sendCommand(x)

than the value (DBD132 ) of DW 132 is in DW 134 and DW134 in DW132

Best regards
Martin

Right now my connection PortState is 2 - Closed and PortPreviousState is 1 - Listening, but this is not true because the connection still alive and read and write data to the PLC is correct.

This behavior was also before update the binding to the latest release, just I report this right now.
Sometimes the connection state is reported OK, sometime not OK.

Hello Docbender,
i found some issues with the binding when there are connection problems or after the restart of the complete openhab.

My setup:

• OpenHab in a docker container in the version 3.1.0 release build
• Simatic S7-300 PLC with CP for ethernet connection
• Everything with static IP-Adresses and wired with ethernet cables (no wireless connection)
• Main PLC as bridge in openhab
• Five generic devices, each for a DB in the PLC with different functions

Issue description:
In some cases the binding stops working. In the openhab bindings page it still shows "online" in the bridge and also on the devices, but it doesn't send or read data to and from the plc. I also got that issue sometimes on only one device and other ones still work as normal.

Cases where this does happen:

• On friday i made an firmware update on my router, so my network dns was down for a few minutes. After the server was online again, the binding doesn't get back to work but shows online.
• It also happend sometimes if i restart my openhab docker

So for me it looks like, if there was a connection issue during a data transfer, the binding then freezes and had to restart again manualy to get back working.

Fast solution for get it working again:
Pause and start the bridge first, then do the same thing on all the devices.

Maybe you could take a look into your binding and get this problem fixed. If i could help you with logs or something else, let me know what you need :-)

Thank you for keeping this binding alive!

Best regards,
Marcel

Hi Docbender,

i use your great binding in Openhab 3. Now i have a little problem with the Rollershutter. I have created a Rollershutter item in my things file.

Thing generic_device Gaestebad "S7 SPS - 101 - EG Gästebad" { Channels: Type chRollershutter: Jalousie "Jalousie" [ stateAddress="DB2001.DBB104", commandAddress="DB2001.DBB104" ] }

At in the items file

Rollershutter Jalousie "Jalousie" {channel="simatic:generic_device:S7-Home:Gaestebad:Jalousie"}

But if i save the items file i will see the follow error in the log and the item status is "NULL"

2021-04-05 20:33:49.394 [WARN ] [ternal.handler.SimaticGenericHandler] - S7 SPS - 101 - EG Gästebad - cannot get value to refresh. Channel simatic:generic_device:S7-Home:Gaestebad:Jalousie not found.

I have try it with DBW104 with the same error. On the PLC i can see the right data.

Hi,

I also want to write byte, word, dword, float variables in the PLC system. For a bit variable it no problem. But all other are not working.

example:

Type chNumber: SPS_S7_Heizung_Prozent_absenken_Urlaub [ stateAddress="DB3.DBW106" ]

also tested:
Type chNumber: SPS_S7_Heizung_Prozent_absenken_Urlaub [ stateAddress="DB3.DBW106", commandAddress="DB3.DBW106" ]

ITEM:
Number SPS_S7_Heizung_Prozent_absenken_Urlaub "Prozent absenken [%d]" {channel="simatic:generic_device:S7-300:Energie:SPS_S7_Heizung_Prozent_absenken_Urlaub"}

Any advice??

Thanks in advanc
Martin

Hi,

it is possible that U add as type of channel chButton which will be send after button press commands ON(1) and OFF(0).
Right now I need to create for every button input extra rule in OH to send this two commands.

Hi,
I get sometimes this error after send value to PLC:

Hi,
can U add to The Things Channel possibility to set Unit for Number value?
For example The possibility is already implemented in http binding

Thanks

sorry for use of issue, I'm new to openhab and interested to connect it to my home plc.
I don't uderstant from you wiki how to add the config file since they are not used anymore from openhab.
Is it possible to use your addon with openhab 2.2?
Thanks in advance
Walter

H,

problem with Channel(switch), I have set stateAddress=DB6.DBX42.0 and commandAddres=DB6.DBX42.0 then after toggle the correspondent switch the PLC set all 8bytes (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) to ON. Also the state is wrong reported for the address.

Hi,

i have observed if we use item with type like Number:Temperature then binding always get error, this is also related to #24:

Hi docbender,

thanks for support. Now i have a problem with my Rollerschutter.

I have define this Things for Rollershutter and i can see the 2 for Stop, 4 for UP and 8 for down. But i don´t understand the StateAdress. How i can see the State. If i write to the stateadress from PLC nothing happend.

Can you help me ?

Things:

my simatic.cfg:

Konfigurations Datei für Simatic binding

refresh-time in ms

simatic:refresh=2000
simatic:plc=192.168.2.50:0.1:S7

The problem exists only if I add an new inputvariable. I think if I add more outputvariable, it will take the same problem with the writebuffer. I have round about 200 variables and a lot of them are MD's.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am testing your binding on an OpenHAB2, connected to a Siemens Logo 8 in S7 mode. Nice work by the way, apart from this issue, your binding seems to work OK!

I am running openhab on a raspberry pi 3 which is somewhat underpowered, so timing issues are easier to reproduce.
I need to restart openhab several times until polling works OK, and if I do any changes in the items file, polling stops altogether. tcpdump shows that no info is being sent to the plc, which resets the connection afterwards.

I think this is an issue with bindingChanged which doesn't refresh the polling list properly. Also, if this happens while polling, you get stuck in a busy-wait loop.

Please tell me if I can be of further assistance in debugging this issue.

Hi,

OH will removed 1.x compatibility layer #1284 in upcoming release, what is the future of the binding? will be adapted to the new system? or we need still in OH2.x version.

Thanks

Hi,

are U plan to add the simatic-binding to the add-on repo of OH3.0?

Hi,

in OH UI the simatic version still as NULL value.

I am a beginner in the PLC world and am trying to transfer an existing TIA Portal project (not my build) to OpenHab.

I wanted to start with a simple light switch, but I am already stuck at finding the right stateAddress and commandAddress for the switch to function in OpenHab.

I have already tried every possible combination for the adresses I could think of, but nothing seems to work.

I have added a screenshot from the TIA Portal for this switch and posted my .things file below.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Bridge simatic:bridge:PLC-1200 "PLC "  [ address="xxx.xxx.xx.xxx", rack="0", slot="1"] {
    Thing generic_device plcState "Lights" {
        Channels:
            Type chSwitch: kantoor_achter [ stateAddress="DB9.DBQ0.0", commandAddress="DB9.DBI0.0" ]
}
}

Hi,

I have observed that after every update/restart OH the Number value are not updated on first run, the values remain NULL as long as the value not changed on S7 or I’m restart the thing manually from UI.
It looks like the values are not updated on first start.

Hi,
I have following error in my log file:

Can somebody help me out please?

Hi,

due this changes in OH core openhab/openhab-core#2596 the Simatic Bridge stop working with unknown error.

Thanks

Hi,
first I want to thank you for the great binding. I use openHAB 2.4 and binding version 1.9.0.201901290812 with a PLC 1513F.
I use about 240 Items at the moment. If I send a command to the PLC, for example I switch on a light by a dimmer, it reacts always immediately. But the status of the Item takes between 1 and 15 seconds to update, as you can see in the eventlog:

2019-11-24 18:19:59.057 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'OG_Li_Wohnen_Esstisch' received command 0

2019-11-24 18:25:38.488 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - OG_Li_Wohnen_Esstisch changed from 0 to 47
2019-11-24 18:25:40.049 [ome.event.ItemCommandEvent] - Item 'OG_Li_Wohnen_Esstisch' received command 0
2019-11-24 18:25:55.355 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - OG_Li_Wohnen_Esstisch changed from 47 to 0

The refresh-time is set to 200ms. But the behavior doesn’t chance if I change the refresh-rime to 20ms or 5000ms. There are no errors in the log-file.
Is that behavior normally, or is there a way to make the response quicker? Or is there any error in my configuration?

My binding-configuration looks like this:
simatic:refresh=200
simatic:plc=192.168.178.54:0.1

And my Items I attached.

Thanks in advance

are the PLC state available in OH3.0 binding?

info:state
info:previous_state
info:state_change_time

Hello Docbender,

i want read a value with the Datatype "Time" from the PLC (32 bit). Example i want read the actual Time Value from a IEC Timer. Then i have connect the Data Point DB2001.DBD3028 in the Things Data Table. I only received 0 in the value Dammerung_Restzeitms.

All other data Points working correctly.

 Thing generic_device gobal {
        Channels:                          
            Type chNumber: Dammerung_Restzeitms         "Dämmerung Restzeit"            [ stateAddress="DB2001.DBD3028"]
    }

Thanks a lot for your support and thank for the great binding.

Hello to all!
Could somebody explain to me how the DB works with Rollershutter item.
If word has two bytes, 16 bits together and first byte is for status Stop, Move, Up, Down, second is for command 1-Move,2-Stop,4-Up,8-Down, that is 8 bits together.
If I understand correctly, in first byte (status), bits are:
0-Stop
1-Move
3-Up
7-Down
2,4,5,6-are empty?

In second byte (command), bits are:
0-Move
1-Stop
3-Up
7-Down
2,4,5,6-are empty?

In sitemap, commands are presented with ^ x ˇ simbols. How is status presented? With Stop, Up, etc. text?
If I create FB with 4bits for status and 4 bits for commands in Static section of Block interface, how do I fill the gap between them?

Let's say that my first bit starts with address %DB27.DBX4.0 and my last ends with %DB27.DBX5.7.
What is exact definition of item, something like {simatic="plc:DB27.DBW4:word:IO"} ?

Thank you for your anwsers!
