4.3.2 Use of Ethernet interfaces
Application
Interfaces for connection to Industrial Ethernet.
Industrial Ethernet is a communication network with a transmission rate of 10/100 Mbit/s.
The D4xx offers the following functions via Ethernet interfaces:
• Communication with STEP 7 and SIMOTION SCOUT
With STEP 7 V 5.2 and lower, the "SIMATIC NET SOFTNET PG (Protocol TPC/IP RFC
1006)" software must be installed on the PG/PC. With STEP 7 V 5.3 and higher,
additional software is not needed.
• 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.
• Communication by means of SIMOTION OPC XML-DA (separate license required).
Note
SOFTNET S7 is a superset of SOFTNET PG, i.e., SOFTNET S7 contains Protocol TPC/IP
RFC 1006, as well.
Additional references
For additional information on the software packages, refer to SIMOTION Motion Control
System, PM 10 Catalog (see list of references for order number).
