IBH Link UA:Configuration with STEP7

Configuration of the IBH Link UA with STEP7

Example

In the following example the configuration with STEP7 is shown.

The S7 IM151-8 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 IM151-8) and networked with Ethernet(1):

Now a DB can be created:

In our sample the symbols Data and Flagword 1 are defined within the symbolic table:

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

After downloading the blocks OB1 and DB1 to the IM151-8 a Simatic PC Station must be added:

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

after adding an OPC Server in slot 1 and an IE-module in slot 2

Now a S7 connection between the OPC Server and the PC station 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 the IBH Link UA:

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