The configuration of the adapter is very easy and normally done in a few minutes.
#CONVERT SIEMENS PROTOOL TO TIA DRIVER#
The IBHNet driver enables you to gain direct variable access via standard programming languages like Visual Basic or Delphi. Also you can use the IBH OPC Server to connect your visualisation with the PLC via IBH Link S7++. The driver for SIMATIC MicroWin ,STEP7, WinCC, ProTool and of course S7 for Windows® is supplied on CD with your IBH Link S7++. Up to 32 parallel MPI / DP connections at the same time Up to 16 parallel PC connections at the same time Setting and diagnostic of field devices with TCI Support for STARTER, S7-PCT, PDM, LifeList Process data access with other PLC, Windows and Linux Master Class 2 for acyclic services (DPV1)
PROFIBUS nodes diagnostic via web browser The IBH Link S7++ will reduce your cost because there is no need for the CP’s from Siemens nor the software Simatic Net is required. With the IBH Link S7++ online functions are possible via Profibus DP with up to 12 Mbit/s or via PPI/MPI. Of course you can also use an Internet connection. The used protocol is standard TCP/IP, so you can control your system using VPN or a router. It is possible to connect the IBH Link S7++ with a hub or switch or via a Crossover cable direct with your PC network card. It is a cost efficient Ethernet-PROFIBUS-Gateway for programming, drive configuration, for communication between PC and Siemens PLCs, inter-PLC communication and FDT applications.
IBHsoftec has a more flexible solution: IBH Link S7++. If a Siemens PLC has to be connected with a PC via Ethernet, the normal way is to take a CP / Communication processor.
