Hello.
I want to use a CoDeSys panel to communicate with a Siemens S7-300 PLC via the Ethernet port without installing the MODBUS addition to the Siemens.
Basically, I want to replace a Siemens panel without doing any changes in the Siemens PLC.Is it possible, and how?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I assume that you do not have a source code of your or client Siemes system. I think there is not an easy way to do that, because you simply do not know where is what on what adresses, offsets and so on... If your Siemens panel is broken buy a new one, or buy VIPA little bit cheaper and in most cases compatible.
regards,
Alex

I know the exact addresses in the Siemens PLC.
The PLC doesn't have modbus and I don't want to perform any changes there.
How is connected MPI or DP?
TCP
And you do not want to use Modbus? Do you have experience with codesys?
MODBUS will cost me extra in the PLC and I want to avoid it

Once, I aslo used a raw TCP communication and this sample was helping me:
