Ethernet to MPI / PROFIBUS

Ethernet MPICP diagram.png

Requirements:
- SIMATIC Manager
- IBH Link S7++ / HS with Firmware >= 2.142
- CPU with MPI or PROFIBUS Interface
- CPU with Ethernet onboard or Ethernet CP. The Interface must support S7 connections. It can be checked within the hardware properties: S7 connection active (Server means passive).


Download: STEP®7 Sample: Ethernet to MPI/PROFIBUS

Active:
EthernetMPICPaktiv.png

Passive:
EthernetMPICPpassiv.png

Within NetPro the CPU must be connected with the Ethernet. An unspecified connection needs to be created:
EthernetMPIS7connection.png

To access several CPUs accordingly, several S7 connections need to be configured. The connection ID is relevant for the call of the FBs/SFBs. If the amount of CPUs exceeds the amount of possible S7 connections, Ethernet to PROFIBUS via PROFIBUS CP (Multiplexing) can be chosen.

Within the properties of the S7 connection the IP address of the IBH Links must be entered:
EthernetMPIS7connection2.png

Within the Address Details enter the MPI address of the destination CPU.
EthernetMPIS7connection3.png

The communication will be established usings the blocks FB14/FB15. There are different FB14/FB15 available. Depending if a CPU with onboard Ethernet or a CPU with Ethernet CP is used, the correct set of blocks must be chosen, otherwise there will be no data exchange.
CPU with onboard Ethernet = Standard Library
CPU with Ethernet CP = SIMATIC_NET_CP

Sample:

     CALL  "GET" , DB14
      REQ   :=M0.0                     //Start reading with positive edge
      ID    :=W#16#1                   //S7 connection ID configured within NetPro
      NDR   :=M0.1                     //Job status 
      ERROR :=M0.2                     //ERROR flag
      STATUS:=MW2                      //STATUS infomation(Siemens documentation)
      ADDR_1:=P#M 10.0 BYTE 20         //Source address connected CPU
      RD_1  :=P#M 10.0 BYTE 20         //Destination address local CPU

Depending on the type of CPU the correct set of blocks, FB14/15 or SFB14/15 must be chosen. The final step is to tranfer the S7 program and the system data to the CPU.

Ethernet to PROFIBUS via PROFIBUS CP (Multiplexing)

Requirements:
- SIMATIC Manager
- IBH Link S7++/IBH Link S7++ HS with Firmware >= 2.142
- CPU with PROFIBUS CP
- CPU with Ethernet onboard or Ethernet CP. The Interface must support S7 connections. It can be checked within the hardware properties: S7 connection active (Server means passive).

Within NetPro the CPU must be connected with the Ethernet. An unspecified connection needs to be created:
EthernetMPIS7connection.png

Within the properties of the S7 connection the IP address of the IBH Links must be entered:
EthernetMPIS7connection2.png

Within the address details as Rack and Slot a special ID for IBH Link Routing must be entered: Rack 7, Slot 31
EthernetMPIS7connectionCP.png

Establish connection via FB/SFB 15 (PUT)
To establish a connection over a PROFIBUS-CP with an IBH Link S7++, more connection information is required, than NetPro permits to enter. For this reason the IBH Link S7++ can be set into the projected mode. That mode permits sending the required connection information with a call to the "PUT" block as a data structure. To set this mode, only a special ID must be entered in NetPro.

Create OB1:
Within the first network the SFB15 is called to handover the parameters. Within the second network the SFB15 for the data exchange is called.

CALL "PUT" , DB15 

      REQ   :=M0.0                     //Start reading with positive edge

      ADDR_1:=P#DB65535.DBX 224.0 BYTE 8    //IBH Link S7++ ID for PROFIBUS connection.

Connection[0] – Pointer to the start address within the DB, which contains the parameters for the connection. If the DB contains more than one connection, they can be selected via this parameter and access to several CPUs is possible.

Depending on the type of CPU the correct set of blocks, FB14/15 or SFB14/15 must be chosen.

A DB is needed, which contains the parameters for the connection.

The parameters MPI address, Slot- and Rack No. are used. Entering an IP address is not needed using this kind of connection. If several connections are used, it is recommended to use UDTs.

MPI – Ethernet – MPI without projected configuration / MPI – Ethernet/MPI – IBH Link S5++

Requirements
- SIMATIC Manager or S7 for Windows® from IBHsoftec
- 2 x IBH Link S7++/IBH Link S7++ HS with Firmware >= 2.142
- The operating system of the CPU must contain the blocks XPUT and XGET (SFC67, SFC68). The information, whether the CPU contains these blocks can be gathered from the Siemens CPU documentation.

For this type of connection, a projected configuration with NetPro is not necessary. Within the PLC program, the blocks XPUT/XGET are called to establish a connection from one IBH Link S7 to the next IBH Link. For very comfortable configuration of the communication parameters, the blocks XPUT_IBH and XGET_IBH (developed by IBHsoftec) are available and can be found within the sample.

The parameters MPI address, Slot- and Rack No. are used. Entering an IP address is not needed using this kind of connection. If several connections are used, it is recommended to use UDTs.

Connection via IBH Link in routing mode

Requirements
- SIMATIC Manager - IBH Link S7++/IBH Link S7++ HS with Firmware >= 2.142
- CPU with MPI Interface
- Interface has to support S7 connections

Download: STEP®7 Smaple: Cennction via IBH Link in routing mode

This kind of connection offers the possibility to exchange a large amount of data very fast - up to 64K. For the communication the standard blocks FB/SFB 8/9 (USEND / URCV) and FB/SFB 12/13 (BSEND / BRCV)are used.

Within the IBH Net settings the routing mode msut be activated. This mode is available beginning with firmware version 2.142.

With projected connections via RFC1006 it is not possible any more to communicate over unprojected connections!

The IBHNet communication via the IBHNet driver is not influenced from this setting.

IBHLink routing.png

The IBHLink S7++ will be configured as a station within NetPro.
IBH Link as Station.png
The following station must be selected:
MLFB: 6ES7 412-2EK06-0AB0 V6.0 Rack 0, Slot 2
MPI/PROFIBUS address of the IBHLink S7++
IP Address of the IBHLink S7++

Configuration of the station within Hardwarekonfigurator:
IBH Link as station HWC.png

Within NetPro all corresponding CPUs besides the IBH Link station needs to be configured. The S7 connection will be established from the real existing CPU via Ethernet to the IBH Link Station. In this case the real existing CPU is the active Partner.
Connection1.png

Connection1 parameter.png

The Partner connection resourse is given automatically and is relvant for the next step.

Connection1 address.png

The IBH Link station builds up a S7 connection via PROFIBUS to the second real existing CPU. In ths case the IBH Link station is the active Partner. As local ID the automatically given ID from the step before will be chosen (within the sample: 10).

Connection2.png

The status can be displayed within NetPro:

Connection status.png

This type of connection allows ocmplex networking:

Connection multi.png

For the connection to an IBH Link S5++ no dummy CPU needs to be cnfigured within NetPro. It es neough to create an unspecified S7 connection via Ethernet. In this case the partner IP address is the IP address of the IBH Link S5++. For communication the blocks PUT/GET are chosen- SFB14/15.
