With the IBHNet driver for the IBH Link, the S7-SoftPLC and S7-CX PLC, controllers can be easily programmed and maintained via ethernet using the TCP/IP protocol. Besides programming and variable access, also monitoring the block status of the controller is possible via the IBHNet driver.


The IBHNet driver can be used in conjunction with S5/S7 for Windows®, with the IBH OPC Server, Simatic® STEP®7 an other applications. Also, the IBHNet driver enables you to gain a direct variable access via standard programming languages like Visual Basic or Delphi.


The following PLC controllers can be accessed with the IBHNet driver:

  • An IBHsoftec S7-SoftPLC, operated on the same PLC.
  • An IBHsoftec S7-SoftPLC, connected via a local area network, via an Intranet or via the Internet.
  • An IBHsoftec S7-PCI315, operated in the same PLC.
  • An IBHsoftec S7-PCI315, connected via a local area network, via an Intranet or via the Internet.
  • An IBHsoftec S7-CX PLC, connected via a local area network, via an Intranet or via the Internet.
  • Any Simatic® S7-200®, S7-1200®, S7-1500®, S7-300® or S7-400® PLCs, connected via a local area network, via an Intranet or via the Internet. To establish a connection of a Simatic® S7-200®, S7-300® or S7-400® PLC with the ethernet network, the communication adaptor IBH Link is required.
  • Simatic® S5 PLCs, connected via a local area network, via an Intranet or via the Internet. To establish a connection of a Simatic® S5 PLC with the ethernet network, the communication adaptor IBH Link S5 is required.
