Integration into an Automation System
8
8.1 Overview
Options of integration in existing or planned system environments/networks:
Ethernet
The integrated Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Mbps) can also be used for communication and
for data exchange with automation devices such as SIMATIC S7.
For this purpose you require the "SIMATIC NET" software package.
PROFIBUS/MPI
The optional electrically isolated PROFIBUS interface (12 Mbps) can be used to interconnect
distributed field devices or for coupling to SIMATIC S7.
The "SOFTNET for PROFIBUS" software package is required for coupling to S7 automation
systems.
CAN
CAN interface for connection to CAN field systems (on request).
RS232
The serial port can be used for data communication (via terminal applications, for example).
