You can establish the connections to the control systems via standard interfaces of the computer or corresponding CP modules.
The different connection types are categorized as follows:
-
TCP/IP connection via the standard network interface
-
SIMATIC specific connections via standard network adapters, special coupling modules (CP) or coupling adapters.

1 On side of the SIMATIC S5, the AS511 interface is used with an additional interface converter.
2 Only modules with Ethernet interface TCP/IP are supported (starting from …-0BA7)
3 Only with CP243-1
4 Only CPU/CP, whose Ethernet interface supports TCP/IP or ISO respectively
5 Only with CP55xx (MPI), CP56xx (PPI/MPI/PROFIBUS) or CP57xx (PPI/MPI/PROFIBUS)
6 PPI Multimaster cable is NOT supported.
7 MPI/DP adapter serial, USB, TCP/IP
Additional Siemens software (e.g. SIMATIC NET or SIMATIC STEP 7) is needed for operation, in case the connection to the control system is established via a SIMATIC NET card in the computer to an integrated Ethernet interface of the CPU (if available) or to a CP module in the PLC. Please take into account that further licenses are required which are not part of ibaPDA-Interface-PLC-Xplorer.

It is recommended carrying out the TCP/IP communication on a separate network segment to exclude a mutual influence by other network components. |
