Connecting the device to networks
The following options are available for integrating the device in existing or planned system
environments and networks.
Ethernet
You can use the integrated Ethernet interfaces (10/100/1000 Mbps) for communication and
data exchange with automation devices, e.g. SIMATIC S7.
You need a suitable software to use this functionality: STEP 7, WinCC, WinAC,
SIMATIC NET.
Industrial Ethernet
You can establish a network between the device and other computers via Industrial Ethernet.
The on-board LAN interfaces are twisted-pair TP interfaces that support data transmission
rates of 10/100/1000 Mbps.
Note
You need a category 6 Ethernet cable for operation at 1000 Mbps.
PROFINET
PROFINET can be operated via:
● Standard Ethernet interfaces (RT)
PROFIBUS/MPI
The isolated PROFIBUS interface can be used to connect distributed field devices or to link
them with SIMATIC S7. You will need STEP 7, WinCC, WinCC flexible, WinAC and
SIMATIC NET.
Note
Special connector for 19" and 22" PRO device
Due to space constraints, only use
the compact PROFIBUS connector with the following
article number for the PRO device: 6GK1500
-0FC10.
The PROFINET interface is not offered for 15" devices.
