If a Siemens PLC needs to be connected to a PC via Ethernet, the normal way is to use a Communication Processor (CP). IBHsoftec has a more flexible solution: IBH Link S7 HS. It is a cost-effective Ethernet-PROFIBUS gateway for programming, drive configuration, communication between PC and Siemens PLC, communication between PLC and FDT applications. It is possible to connect the IBH Link S7 HS 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 HS it is possible to perform online functions via Profibus DP with up to 12 Mbit/s or via PPI/MPI. The IBH Link S7 HS will reduce your costs because it does not need Siemens CPs or Simatic Net software.
The IBH Link S7 HS offers the same features /drivers as the IBH Link S7 and is designed for rail mounting.

External 24 V power supply
The driver for SIMATIC MicroWin, STEP7, WinCC, ProTool and, of course, S7 for Windows is supplied on a CD with your IBH Link S7 HS. You can also use the IBH OPC server to connect your visualization with the PLC via IBH Link S7 HS. The IBHNet driver allows you to gain 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 HS automatically detects whether it is connected to a 10 or 100 Mbit/s network. The IBH Link S7 HS is powered via the integrated 24 V plug.
In addition to the programming capabilities, an application programming interface for HMI applications is also 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:
