It is possible to realize a connection from a PC with PcView to a S7-300/400 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 S7++ via an Ethernet connection. The IBHLink S7++ itself is connected to a S7-300/S7-400 station by MPI or PROFIBUS. Bus parameters were configured by the IBHNet configuration tool.

The following addresses were chosen in the example:

IP addresses:
