NETLink S7-Compact

Compact PROFIBUS/MPI Adapter for Ethernet Connection of SIMATIC S7 Controllers

NETLink S7-Compact enables simple and fast integration of SIMATIC S7-200/300/400 controllers into Ethernet networks. This enables programming, configuration, and SCADA applications such as STEP7, TIA Portal, WinCC or OPC Servers to access up to 32 automation devices robustly and cost-effectively in parallel. The adapter can be plugged directly into the MPI connector and replaces expensive Communication Processors. The looped-through programming device socket allows retroactive piggyback mounting.

For configuration purposes, NETLink S7-Compact can be integrated as a programming device in the familiar STEP7 or TIA Portal development tools. In addition, a web interface is available for basic settings, e.g., the PROFIBUS subscriber address or the IP address. SIMATIC S7-200/300/400 controllers without Ethernet connection can also be connected to SIMATIC S7-1200/-1500 controllers with Ethernet connection via the adapter. NETLink S7-Compact can be supplied with power directly via the SIMATIC S7 controller or via the 24VDC connection.

NETLink S7-Compact | Compact PROFIBUS/MPI Adapter for Ethernet Connection of SIMATIC S7 Controllers

Overview

Integration of S7-200, S7-300 and S7-400 into 10/100 Mbit Ethernet Networks

  • Direct communication with one or several controllers in any kind of TCP network structure
  • Support of up to 16 simultaneous connections
  • Use of standard TCP/IP for communication within plant or company networks and with the Internet
  • Expansion of participants using MPI or PROFIBUS via pass-through PG port
  • Interference-free integration into existing control systems
  • Power supply directly from controller or via external power supply
  • Cost-effective solution alternative

Programming Adapter Supporting all Relevant S7 Engineering Tools

  • Interface for programming controllers via Ethernet
  • Compatibility with STEP7, TIA-Portal, WinCC and WinCC flexible
  • Display and configuration of the adapter in STEP7 or TIA portal

Application Integration through RFC1006 and OPC UA

  • Connection to HMI station and PLC directly via RFC1006 Ethernet protocol
  • Support of OPC and OPC UA by using dataFEED OPC Suite for integration into higher-level systems, e.g. for production management
