It is possible to realize a connection from a WinCC flexible Runtime/Panel to a SIMATIC® S5 station over ethernet using an IBHLink S5++ as gateway.

Example

In the following example a configuration with PcVue is shown. The HMI station is connected to the IBHLink S5++ via an Ethernet connection. The IBHLink S5++ itself is connected to a SIMATIC® S5 station on the AS511 port. Communication parameters were configured by the IBHNet configuration tool.

The following addresses were chosen in the example:

IP addresses:

Station Address
HMI station 192.168.10.122
IBHLink S5++ 192.168.10.102

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 must be selected in WinCC flexible, since only this driver allows the selection of an extension slot on the PLC side.

or

DW 0 DBW 0
DW 1 DBW 2
DW 2 DBW 4

If you are using the WinCC flexible Runtime, please check that in the settings of the PG/PC Interface the correct driver TCP/IP for the Access Point S7ONLINE is chosen.

The configuration of the connection is now completed and you can continue with defining your Tags.

Attention:
During an active block status with the programming unit, all active connections running in parallel will be stalled. They will continue, as soon as the block status is exited from the programming unit. The reason is, that the PU needs to reserve the PLCs programming port exclusively in order to execute the block status function. If HMI applications are running in parallel to the PU, the user has to take this into consideration.
