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 |
