Description
The compact all-rounder among the programming adaptors between PC and S7 PLCs
ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact is a handy communication and programming adaptor between PC and S7 controllers. The electronics of the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact is placed in a PROFIBUS plug’s case. Thus, the adapter is very small and handy.
As all-rounder, the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact can be connected to the PLC via MPI, PROFIBUS and PPI. The ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact independently detects the current bus settings of the PLC.
Perfect fields of application
- As programming adaptor to create and change the PLC program
- As communication adaptor for visualisations
- As communication adaptor for accessing the PLC’s data
- For remote maintenance via internet, intranet, dial-in router
Varied ranges of application
- Programming S7 controllers with STEP 7
- Changing S7 programs via a company network (intranet)
- Projecting HMI devices with WinCC flexible
- Connecting visualisations to S7 PLCs via TCP/IP (RFC 1006)
- Logging S7 data via TCP/IP (e.g. with ACCON-S7-EasyLog)
- Remote maintenance of S7 controllers via internet (VPN)
Convincing and varied
The communication of the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact to the PC is effected via TCP/IP so that it can be used for remote maintenance purposes via router, intranet and internet. The configuration of the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact can be created and changed via its integrated website. For the security of your facility, the access to the website is protected by a password.
The ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact supports the S7 communication via RFC 1006 (ISO on TCP). Thus, TCP/IP communication processors (e.g. CP343-1) can be replaced by this adaptor. However, projected connections are not supported. Furthermore, the ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact supports the parameterization of DP-Slaves via DP-V1 (class 2).
A driver for SIMATIC applications (ACCON-S7-NET) is included in delivery. The ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact is fed by the connected bus. Alternatively, you can use external 24 VDC.
