The new NETLink PRO for programming, configuring and visualization of programmable controllers from Siemens is plugged directly into the CPU of the programmable controller via its 1.2 m connecting cable.
The connecting cable is an active cable and therefore
does not influence the MPI/PROFIBUS. The second
programmer (PG) jack enables connection of a further device to the CPU of the programmable controller.
The new NETLink PRO can optionally also be powered from an external 24 V DC power source.
At the controller end, the NETLink PRO permits the full transmission rate of 12 Mbps via MPI and PROFIBUS. The transmission rate of the TCP network of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps is automatically detected by the device. At the MPI end, the NETLink PRO enables 12 simultaneous links. Moreover, the new NETLink PRO features automatic baudrate detection and flexible configuration, such as DHCP and a Web interface.
An Ethernet jack instead of a permanently affixed Ethernet cable permits flexible connection.
The 3 m Ethernet connecting cable (straight) is provided with the NETLink PRO.
The MPI/PROFIBUS is electrically isolated from the external 24 V DC power source and from the Ethernet interface (functional separation).
New is the support for RFC 1006 protocol (ISO on TCP).
The firmware is always updateable to the newest volume with the included update-program SHTools.
With the SSW7-TS with modem, teleservice of a system can be performed via the MPI bus.
An analog 56k modem prepared for use in more than 90 countries is integrated into the housing of the SSW7-TS. The ISDN modem supports the European DSS1 protocol.
The 9-way SUB D connector can be connected for parameterization or for in-situ use as a PC adapter.
The built-in modem can also be used directly on the serial interface.
The SSW7-TS with modem receives its power supply from the CPU via the MPI cable. If no 24V supply is available at the connection point, it is possible to feed in an external 24 V power supply.
The SSW7-TS with modem can also be provided with a new operating system via a modem link. That enables functional expansion of an adapter already installed in the system. The necessary SHTools software is provided.
The analog/ISDN modem can be used for teleservicing a VISU/SCADA application even without a TS function. Settings are made using microswitches on the adapter housing.
