PLC.Commissioning.Lib.Siemens

PLC.Commissioning.Lib.Siemens provides a Siemens-specific implementation for PLC commissioning, extending the interfaces defined in PLC.Commissioning.Lib.Abstractions. This repository is part of a modular structure designed to support automated testing of PROFINET sensors.

Note: This repository is a submodule of the main PLC.Commissioning.Lib project. It is intended to be used as part of the main project and not independently.

Supported languages

• .NET Standard 2.0

Example usage

Dictionary<string, object> parametersToSet = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    {"Mode", "With ACK"},
};

// Begin PLC commissioning
using (var plc = PLCFactory.CreateController<IPLCControllerSiemens>(Manufacturer.Siemens))
{
    // Step 1: Load PLC configuration
    plc.Configure("configuration.json");
    // Step 2: Initialize the PLC without safety features
    plc.Initialize(safety: false);
    // Step 3: Import the device configuration into the PLC
    var device = plc.ImportDevice("device.aml");
    // Step 4: Retrieve specific device parameters for verification
    plc.GetDeviceParameters(device, gsdPath, "[M10] Activation");
    // Step 5: Apply specific parameters to the device
    plc.SetDeviceParameters(device, gsdPath, "[M10] Activation", parametersToSet);
    // Step 6: Compile the configuration to prepare for download
    plc.Compile();
    // Step 7: Download the configuration to the PLC with specified options
    plc.Download(downloadOptions);
    // Step 8: Start the PLC to finalize commissioning
    plc.Start();
