8 RFC1006-Function (S7-TCP/IP)
As an additional option, the NETLink
®
Gateway can implement
the RFC1006 protocol (also known as S7-TCP/IP or as ISO on top
of TCP). RFC mode is always active and does not have to be
specifically enabled. A NETLink
®
Gateway automatically goes
“online” as soon as it detects an RFC frame.
Because many visualization system manufacturers have imple-
mented this protocol to implement connections with CPs from
Siemens (e.g. CP343 or CP443), a NETLink
®
with RFC1006 is an
alternative to communication with these visualization systems.
The RFC1006 functionality of the NETLink
®
Gateway is also
supported by S7-200 systems.
The following software packages with RFC1006 support have so
far been tested in conjunction with the NETLink
®
products:
• WinCC V6.0/V7.0 (Siemens AG)
• WinCC flexible 2005/2007/2008 (Siemens AG)
• ZenOn V6.2 (COPA-DATA)
• PROCON-Win V3.2 (GTI Control)
• S7-OPC Server, V3.1 and higher (Helmholz GmbH)
• AGLink V4.0 (DELTALOGIC Automatisierungstechnik GmbH)
• INAT-OPC-Server (INAT GmbH)
• WinCE 5.0 Terminal TP21AS (Sütron Electronic GmbH)
• KEPserverEx V4.0 (KEPware Inc.)
• InTouch V9.5 (Wonderware GmbH)
