IBH OPC UA:Configuration with TIA Portal

Configuration of the IBH OPC Server/Client with TIA portal

Example

In the following example, the configuration with TIA Portal V13 is shown.

The S7-1500 station is connected with the IBH OPC Server/Client via Ethernet.

The following addresses were chosen in the example:

IP addresses:

Station	Address
IBH OPC Server/Client	192.168.10.125
S7-1500	192.168.10.129

Configuration:

A new device will be added (in the sample a S7-1500):

The S7-1500 will be connected with Ethernet Subnet PNIE_1 and the IP address must be set:

Full access and access with PUT/GET communication is necessary:

Now a DB can be created:

The Optimized block access must be deactivated:

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

Flag word 1 is now listed as standard tag:

As next step a Simatic PC Station must be added:

After adding an OPC Server in slot 1 and an IE-module in slot 2, the version of the OPC Server must be changed from version V12 to V8:

Within the properties of the Ethernet Port of the PC Station, the IP address of the IBH OPC UA Server/Client must be entered:

Now a S7 connection between the OPC Server and the PC station must be established:

Within the properties 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 to the IBH OPC UA Server/Client:

The configuration is now completed and the tags from the IBH OPC UA Server/Client are available .

S7-300 and S7-400 controllers which do not have an Ethernet port available can be connected via the IBH Link S7++ or the IBH Link S7++ HS to the IBH Link UA.

Within the IBHNet settings the routing mode must be activated. This mode is available beginning with firmware version 2.142.

With projected connections via RFC1006 it is not possible to communicate over unprojected connections any more!

The normal IBHNet communication over port 1099 via the IBHNet driver is not influenced from this setting.

The IBH Link S7++ will be configured as a S7-400 station within the TIA Portal and connected with the bus system (MPI or PROFIBUS)

The following station must be selected:
MLFB: 6ES7 412-2EK06-0AB0 V6.0
Rack 0, Slot 2
MPI/PROFIBUS address of the IBHLink S7++
IP Address of the IBHLink S7++

Configuration of the Station within the hardware configurator:

A routed S7 connection from the OPC Server to the S7 PLC must be set up::
