IBHLink S5++:SIMATIC® S5 WinCC flexible

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.

S5	S7
DL 0	DBB 0
DR 0	DBB 1
DL 1	DBB 2
DR 1	DBB 3
DL 2	DBB 4
DR 2	DBB 5

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.
