IBHLink S5++:SIMATIC® S5 Elipse SCADA
It is possible to realize a connection from a PC with Elipse SCADA to a SIMATIC S5 PLC over ethernet using an IBHLink S5++ as gateway.
Example
In the following example a configuration with Elipse SCADA is shown. The HMI station is connected to the IBHLink S5++ via an Ethernet connection. The IBHLink S5++ itself is connected to the AS511 port of the SIMATIC S5 PLC. Communication parameters were configured by the IBHNet configuration tool.
The following addresses were chosen in the example:
IP addresses: IP addresses:
| Station | Address |
|---|---|
| HMI station | 192.168.10.122 |
| IBHLink S5++ | 192.168.10.125 |
Operation with S7 HMI devices: For the operation with S7 HMI devices the following settings need to be made:
| IP address of the PLC | IP address of the IBH Link S5++ |
| Rack number of the PLC | 0 |
| Slot number of the PLC | 2 |
| MPI address of the PLC | 2 |
Configuration:
The ethernet communication driver for S7-300/400 named MProt.dll must be selected witin the Application Organizer:
Within the MProt settings the MPI/DP address of the PLC has to be entered as <Default slave address>
Enter the IP Address of the IBH LinkS5 ++ and choose port 102:
Now the N an P Parameters must be set. The description you'll find within the helpfile <mprot_us.chm>
In the sample DB1.DB0 is chosen:
The configuration is now completed and the Tags can be used:
