To install the IBHNet driver on your PC, the following minimum requirements need to be fulfilled by your system: The PC needs to have a 32-Bit or 64-Bit Windows Operating System installed. Following operating systems are supported: Windows XP®, Vista® or Windows® 7. Please also seek for the minimum requirements of your STEP®7 package.


The IBH Link S7 and the IBH Link S7++ can be supplied with power by the MPI/DP interface of the PLC. At a passive MPI/DP interface, an external power supply is needed. The IBH Link S7 Plus and the IBH Link S7++ HS need an external power supply in any case.


The IBHNet network support is integrated in the S7-SoftPLC starting with version 2.10. If you are using an older version of the SoftPLC, you need to update the SoftPLC, to gain the networking capabilities of the S7-SoftPLC.


The used PCs needs to have a working network connection via TCP/IP installed. The network names and the IP-Addresses of the used PCs need to be known by the user. Please contact your administrator, if you do not know these addresses. As network hardware any network adaptor that supports Windows and TCP/IP can be used. In a local area network 100 MBit network adaptors and switches should be preferred, in order to gain the best performance. Of course 10 MBit network adaptors can also be used, but they will slow down operation, especially when viewing a block status.
