Using the IBHNet driver with WinCC Flexible.

To use the IBHNet driver with WinCC Flexible, please follow the instructions step by step.

  • Install WinCC Flexible and make sure, the installation was successful.
  • Now install the IBHNet driver.
  • Configure the IBH Link and specify the the PLC Names and their connections.
  • From the control panel open the "Set PG/PC interface" dialogbox and select "IBHNet (MPI®)". In the properties dialog choose the previously configured PLC.

  • Use some programming software to make sure that the connected PLC is available. If no programming software is available, the Visual Basic samples that come with the driver may be used for testing. The samples may be found in "C:\IBH softec GmbH\IBH_Net\samples".
  • Now we are sure the PLC is available. Start WinCC Flexible and create a new project.
  • For the protocol Simatic S7-300/400 needs to be chosen.
