Function
User interfaces
OPC interface
The OPC server included in the respective software package
can be used as the standard programming interface for the pro-
tocols S7 communication and open communication, in order to
connect automation technology applications to OPC-compatible
Windows applications (Office, HMI systems, etc.)
Programming interface through C library
The programming interfaces for the S7 communication,
PG/OP communication, and open communication protocols for
existing applications are implemented as Dynamic Link Library
(DLL) interfaces.
The released compilers can be found in the readme file
of the SIMATIC NET CD products at
Software for PG/OP communication
This software makes it possible to program the S7 controllers via
Industrial Ethernet in conjunction with the STEP 7 engineering
software.
It is contained in all CP 1623 software packages.
Software for S7 communication
(HARDNET-IE S7 or S7-REDCONNECT)
The S7 interface allows PG/PC applications (e.g. WinCC) and
user programs to access the SIMATIC S7 system components.
This provides easy, flexible access to the data of the SIMATIC S7
controller.
S7 communication offers:
Administrative services
•
Connection management
•
Mini database
• Trace
Data transfer services
•
Read/write variables
• BSEND/BRECEIVE
H-communication
For redundant S7 communication with a high availability
S7-400H system, the CP 1613/CP 1623/CP 1628 can be used
in connection with the S7-REDCONNECT software.
Software for open communication (SEND/RECEIVE)
这个接口是used for communication between
•
PG/PC and SIMATIC S5
•
PG/PC and SIMATIC S7
•
PG/PC and PG/PC
Open communication (SEND/RECEIVE) offers the following
services:
•
Management services
•
Connection establishment services
•
Data transfer services
These functionalities are a component part of the
HARDNET-IE S7 software product.
Mode of operation
Protocols up to Level 4 (Transport) are processed autonomously
on the module.
The internal memory is available for this purpose and it also
provides for a large quantity structure and high communication
reliability.
Data is exchanged between the module and the host in master
mode. This means that the CP 1623 accesses the physical RAM
of the host.
A Windows driver transfers the data between the host system
and the CP 1623. The transmission rate to Industrial Ethernet is
detected and automatically switched over (autosensing).
The IT functionality is provided in combination with the Windows
software of the PC.
Diagnostics
All MIB-2 objects, for example, can be read out via SNMP.
This enables the current status of the Ethernet interfaces to be
retrieved.
Configuration
•
The S7 communication and open communication protocols
are configured in STEP 7 or NCM PC.
•
A configuration tool is included in the scope of delivery of the
CP 1623 software packages.
