A Lightweight G-Code Data Exchange Method Based on PLC1200

摘要: 针对西门子S7-1200PLC在工业场景中G代码传输效率低、人工操作误差大、专用组态软件成本高的问题，本文提出一种基于Qt与S7协议的轻量级G代码数据交互方法。该方法以Qt为开发平台，依托Snap7库封装S7通信协议基础模块，构建包含PLC连接区、DB写入区、Bool监控区、日志区及工具栏的模块化上位机界面，实现G代码文件的加载解析、PLC数据块的三行联动写入及控制位自动监控功能。实现了G代码与PLC数据块的高效、可靠交互。该方法无需依赖昂贵组态软件，降低了中小制造企业产线数字化升级的成本与门槛，为车间层设备数据集成提供了实用技术方案。

Abstract: Addressing the challenges of low G-code transmission efficiency, high manual operation error rates, and costly specialized configuration software for Siemens S7-1200 PLCs in industrial settings, this paper proposes a lightweight G-code data interaction method based on Qt and the S7 protocol. Utilizing Qt as the development platform and leveraging the Snap7 library to encapsulate the S7 communication protocol base module (S7_BASE class), this method constructs a modular host-computer interface. This interface includes PLC connection, DB write, Bool monitoring, log, and toolbar sections, enabling G-code file loading and parsing, three-line synchronized writing of PLC data blocks, and automatic control bit monitoring. It achieves efficient and reliable interaction between G-code and PLC data blocks. This approach eliminates reliance on costly configuration software, reducing the cost and barriers for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises to upgrade their production lines digitally. It provides a practical technical solution for integrating equipment data at the shop floor level.
