this situation, click “Reset to factory settings” to return the PLC to its factory default
status, and then return to step 2 of this procedure.

3 Register the GSDML file (definitions file for code reader

PROFINET) for the code reader to TIA Portal. In the “Hardware catalog” field, click “Other field devices,” “PROFINET IO,”

then check that SR-PN1 is selectable.
On the “Options” menu, click “Install general station description file
(GSD).”

Specify the folder that contains the GSDML file for the “Source path.”
Select the check box of the corresponding GSDML file, and then click
“Install.”

4 Add SR-PN1 to the Network view.

In the “Devices & networks” field, click the “Network view” tab, and
then drag “SR-PN1” from the catalogue to this tab.

After the GSDML file is read, you will be prompted to restart, so save
the project, and then restart the setup software.

Click “Project view” in the lower left of the screen, and then click
“Open” on the “Project” menu.
Click on a project, and then click “Open.”
After the “Open existing project” screen is displayed, click a project,

To check the address of the PLC device assigned to the SR-PN1, on the
“Network view” tab, click the SR-PN1, and then click the “Device view”
tab.
* For details on assigning functions to each module, see the SR-PN1 User's Manual.
* The addresses are assigned to each module automatically (you can assign these
addresses manually). The assignments shown in the image below are used in the
explanation that follows.

Register this address information to PLC tags.
Under “PLC tags,” double-click “Add new tag table.” Compile and transmit the programme.

Double-click “Devices & networks” in the “Project tree,” right-click the

PLC, point to “Compile,” and then click “Hardware and software (only
changes)” to execute the compilation.
* You cannot compile in Online mode. Click to switch to Offline mode.

Right-click

Tag table_1 is added. Enter the arbitrary names of the data in the
“Name” column, the data types in the “Data type” column, and the
device addresses in the “Address” column.
You can download the Tag Description CSV file on the WEB
(barcodereader.com).
Please copy the CSV file data and paste Tag table.(Before copy and
paste, please fit the column between CSV file and your Tag table.)

After the compilation is finished, right-click the PLC, point to

“Download to device,” and then click “Hardware and software (only
changes)” to transmit the compiled programme to the PLC.

Right-click
here.

To start the ladder programme, register “Start Ladder Bit” to the M1.0
address as well.

2 Create the ladder programme.

Under “Program blocks,” double-click “Main [OB1]” to open the

programme block, and then enter the following ladder programme.
On the “Extended download to device” screen, select the interface
that is connected to the PLC. Click the target, and then click “Load.”
* This screen may not be displayed.

Explanation

When Start Ladder Bit is changed to “TRUE,” Read Request (the

trigger ON instruction) is executed, which starts the reading operation.

is written to the other columns automatically. You can also copy data
from the Tag Table.)
If the PROFINET communication doesn't succeed, please set the
following and try again.

2 Switch to online mode and start monitoring.

Click to switch to online mode.

On the “Online” menu, click “Monitor all.”

Click “RUN” on the CPU operator panel.

In the Watch table, right-click the value in the “Monitor value” column
for Start Ladder Bit, point to “Modify,” and then click “Modify to 1” to
start reading.

Right-click
here.

When the sample code is read, the data read is stored in the “Result
Data” area as shown below. Also, you can check whether reading is
complete by checking whether “Read Complete” has changed to
“TRUE.”

To complete reading without reading the code, use “Modify to 0” to

set “Start Ladder Bit” to “FALSE.”
