IBH Link S7++ – 20266
If a Siemens PLC needs to be connected to a PC via Ethernet, the usual method is to use a Communication Processor (CP). IBHsoftec has a more flexible solution: IBH Link S7++. It is a cost-effective Ethernet-PROFIBUS gateway for programming, drive configuration, for communication between PC and Siemens PLC, communication between PLC and FDT applications.

If a Siemens PLC needs to be connected to a PC via Ethernet, the normal procedure is to use a Communication Processor (CP). IBHsoftec has a more flexible solution: IBH Link S7. It is a cost-effective Ethernet-PROFIBUS gateway for programming, drive configuration, communication between PC and Siemens PLC, and communication between PLC and FDT applications. It is possible to connect the IBH Link S7 to a hub or switch or directly to your PC’s network card using a crossover cable. The protocol used is standard TCP/IP, so you can control your system via VPN or a router. Of course, you can also use an Internet connection. With the IBH Link S7, online functions can be performed via Profibus DP at up to 12 Mbit/s or via PPI/MPI. The IBH Link S7 will reduce your costs because it does not need Siemens CPs or Simatic Net software.

The driver for SIMATIC MicroWin, STEP7, WinCC, ProTool and, of course, S7 for Windows is supplied on a CD with your IBH Link S7. You can also use the IBH OPC server to connect your visualization with the PLC via IBH Link S7. The IBHNet driver allows you to obtain direct access to variables via standard programming languages such as Visual Basic or Delphi. The adapter configuration is very simple and is usually done in a few minutes. The IBH Link S7 automatically detects whether it is connected to a 10 or 100 Mbit/s network. The IBH Link S7 receives its power from the MPI/DP interface, if available, or via the integrated 24 V plug.
In addition to the programming capabilities, there is also an application programming interface for HMI applications included.
For Windows operating systems there are samples in the languages Visual Basic, Visual C, Visual C, VB.net, Visual C, Delphi, Java, Excel included. Examples are also included for Linux. After installation, the examples can be found in:
