General information

With the PN Request, the measurement values (Request Handshake) are requested via a separate TCP/IP connection.

Depending on the hardware and software, you can select different access points for the Request:

• TCP/IP: The connection to the SIMATIC S7 is established using an integrated PN interface of the S7 CPU or the respective CP modules in the PLC and the standard network interface of the computer. No additional Siemens software is required for the connection.

• PC/CP: This is the designation for different SIMATIC specific access points. In contrast to the TCP/IP connection, for the PC/CP group the SIMATIC communication software (and the corresponding licenses) must be installed on the computer with the corresponding functions enabled.

  • MPI, PROFIBUS: The connection to the SIMATIC S7 is established using the MPI or PROFIBUS interface of the computer; e.g. with the CP5611 PCI card or the MPI adapter for USB interface or serial PC interface.

  • TCP/IP, ISO: Here, either the standard network interface of the computer or a suitable interface card is used for the connection to the S7.

• TCP/IP S7-1x00: The connection to a SIMATIC S7-1500 is established using an integrated PN interface of the S7 CPU or respective CP modules in the PLC and the standard network interface of the computer. No additional Siemens software is required for the connection.

System integration with ibaBM-PN

The measured data are transmitted to the ibaBM-PN device over PROFINET.

You need the following connections:

• Online connection between ibaPDA and S7-CPU (TCP/IP, MPI or DP)

• Fiber optic connection between ibaPDA/ibaFOB-io-D and ibaBM-PN

• PROFINET connection between ibaBM-PN and S7-CPU

The bus monitor offers two separate PROFINET devices. A transfer rate of max. 1440 Byte is possible for each device.
