IBHLink S7++:S7-300/S7-400 PcVue
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:
| Station | Address |
|---|---|
| HMI station | 192.168.10.122 |
| IBHLink S7++ | 192.168.10.125 |
MPI addresses:
| Station | Address |
|---|---|
| IBHLink S7++ | 17 |
| S7-300/S7-400 station | 2 |
Configuration:
The ethernet communication driver for S7-300/400 named MProt.dll must be selected witin the Application Organizer:
Within the MProt settings the MPI/DP address of the PLC has to be entered as <Default slave address>
Enter the IP Address of the IBH LinkS7 ++ and choose port 102:
Now the N an P Parameters must be set. The description you'll find within the helpfile <mprot_us.chm>
In the sample DB1.DB0 is chosen:
The configuration is now completed and the Tags can be used:
