IBHLink S5++:SIMATIC® S5 PLC PcVue

It is possible to realize a connection from a PC with PcView to a SIMATIC® S5 station over ethernet using an IBHLink S7++ as gateway.

Example

In the following example a configuration with PcView 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 by the AS511 port. Bus 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

MPI addresses:

Station	Address
IBHLink S5++	17
S5- 115U station

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 named SIEMENS IP ISO-S7 must be selected by double clicking the line *CREATION* below Network :

By double clicking the line *CREATION* below <Node>:you can enter the IP address of the IBH Link S7++.
As <Equipment type> please select S7300/400


By double clicking the line *CREATION* below <Frame the needed variables can be choosen>


After that the communication objects have to be activated by clicking on the buttons <ON< and <Validate>:


Within the Application Explorer you can add a Register:






The configuration is now completed and the variables/registers can be used:
