IBHLink S5++:SIMATIC® S5 Elipse SCADA

It is possible to realize a connection from a PC with Elipse SCADA to a S7-300/400 station over ethernet using an IBHLink S7++ as gateway.

Example

In the following example a configuration with Elipse SCADA 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:
