IBH Link UA:Configuration with TIA Portal

Configuration of the IBH Link UA with TIA portal

Example

In the following example, the configuration with TIA Portal V13 is shown.

The S7-1500 station is connected with the IBH Link UA via Ethernet.

The following addresses were chosen in the example:

IP addresses:

Station	Address
IBHLink UA	192.168.10.125
S7-1500	192.168.10.129

Configuration:

A new device will be added (in the sample a S7-1500):

The S7-1500 will be connected with Ethernet Subnet PNIE_1 and the IP address must be set:

Full access and access with PUT/GET communication is necessary:

Now a DB can be created:

The Optimized block access must be deactivated:

Within OB1 the data word 1 and flag word 1 will be counted in our example:

Flag word 1 is now listed as standard tag:

As next step a Simatic PC Station must be added:

After adding an OPC Server in slot 1 and an IE-module in slot 2, the version of the OPC Server must be changed form version V12 to V8:

Within the properties of the Ethernet Port of the PC Station, the IP address of the IBH Links UA must be entered:

Now a S7 connection between the OPC Server and the PC must be established:

Within the properies of the OPC Server at <General> <S7> <OPC tags > the OPC Tags can be selected:

Now the configuration needs to be downloaded to the PLC:

and to the IBH Link UA:

The configuration is now completed and the tags from the IBH link UA are available .
