Definition
Interface for connecting an Industrial Ethernet.
Industrial Ethernet is a communication network with a transmission rate of 10/100 Mbit/s.
The SIMOTION C provides the following functions via the Ethernet interface:
● Communication with STEP 7 and SIMOTION SCOUT
● Communication with distributed I/O (e.g. SIMATIC HMI)
● Communication between SIMOTION and SIMATIC NET OPC
The "SIMATIC NET SOFTNET S7 (S7 OPC server)"
software must be installed on the PG/PC for this function.
Note:
SOFTNET-S7 is a superset of SOFTNET-PG, i.e. SOFTNET-S7 contains Protocol
TPC/IP RFC 1006 as well.
