=== ''IBHNet'' ===
The ''S7-SoftPLC'' can be accessed via the ''IBHNet'' driver, with every visualization software, that supports the ''IBHNet'' protocol. The ''IBHNet'' driver is available at [http://www.ibhsoftec.com/ http://www.ibhsoftec.com/] as free download.

If an HMI package has implemented an own direct driver for the ''IBH Link S7'' (NetLink) protocol, it can access the ''S7-SoftPLC'' as well, since this protocol (NL_MPI) is supported by the ''S7-SoftPLC'' too.

In addition there is the possibility, that an own visualization (e.g. Visual<sup>®</sup> BASIC or other high level languages) can establish a communication via the ''IBHNet''-object, which is installed with the ''IBHNet'' driver. Details on this are contained in the ''IBHNet'' documentation.

=== RFC1006 ===
To connect a HMI package to ''S7-SoftPLC'' via RFC1006 is possible, if the [[../Configuration/User_interface/cpx43.htm|Ethernet CP-343/443 emulation]] of the ''S7-SoftPLC'' has been started.

=== Accessing ''S7-SoftPLC'' over PROFIBUS<sup>®</sup> with operator panels ===
The use of Hilscher PROFIBUS<sup>®</sup> Master Cards is required. The PROFIBUS<sup>®</sup> must be configured over MPI<sup>®</sup> like on an hardware PLC first. In the case of ''S7-SoftPLC'' this can happen directly, serially or via TCP/IP. If the PROFIBUS<sup>®</sup> is operational, the option &quot;OnlineDP&quot; can be activated in the driver configuration, to allow access to the ''S7-SoftPLC'' via PROFIBUS<sup>®</sup>.

=== OPC Server ===
A connection to ''S7-SoftPLC'' from an HMI package with the IBH''softec OPC server'' or other OPC servers, which support the mentioned protocols,is possible as well.
