View source for 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 [http://www.ibhsoftec.com/IBH-Link-S5-PP-Eng 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:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! 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: 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| 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:<br />

Now the '''N''' an '''P''' Parameters must be set. The description you'll find within the helpfile '''<mprot_us.chm>'''<br />
In the sample DB1.DB0 is chosen:<br />
