TIA Portal: PUT Command / PLC-PLC Communication

The video introduces the concept of PLC-to-PLC communication using the PUT command within the TIA Portal. It emphasizes the requirement for both PLCs to be on the same network and outlines the steps involved in setting up this communication.

This section details the initial project setup, including defining IP addresses and ensuring both devices are in the same network. It also covers crucial security aspects like network protection, access levels, and connection mechanisms.

The tutorial explains how to configure the communication partners and create data blocks for transferring information. It demonstrates setting up a data block and configuring its properties to specify the connection parameters and target PLC.

This part focuses on the configuration of the PUT communication block itself. It shows how to access the configuration window, set connection parameters, and define the destination for the data. The importance of specifying the correct IP address for the target PLC is highlighted.

The video demonstrates how to test the configured PUT communication. It shows how to initiate the data transfer by pressing a button and monitoring the change in data on the receiving side, confirming the successful exchange of information between the PLCs.
