Connecting the device to networks

The following options are available for the integration in existing or planned system
environments or networks:
Ethernet
The integrated Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Mbps) can also be used for communication and
data exchange with automation devices such as SIMATIC S7.
This functionality requires the "SOFTNET S7" software package.
PROFIBUS/MPI
The optional electrically isolated PROFIBUS interface (12 Mbps) can be used to interconnect
distributed field devices or for coupling to SIMATIC S7.
The "SOFTNET for PROFIBUS" software package is required for coupling to S7 automation
systems.
PROFINET
PROFINET can be operated via
● CP1616 IRT (Isochronous Real Time)
● Standard Ethernet interfaces (RT)
CP 1616 on-board allows you to connect IPCs to Industrial Ethernet. Only one CP 1616 can
be installed in a PG/PC. You will find detailed information in sections "PROFINET (Page 45)"
and "CP 1616 onboard communications processor (Page 149)".
Device driver CP 16xx.sys
The device driver allow integration of the Windows network protocol in the optional "CP 1616
onboard" Ethernet PROFINET controller on SIMATIC PCs. The PROFINET interface will act
like a regular 100 Mbit Ethernet interface with a MAC address when you use this driver. The
three RJ45 sockets are connected with each other via switch.
PROFINET IO application
You can create, operate and configure PROFINET IO applications using the "Development
Kit DK-16xx PN IO. It must be installed in addition to the CP 16xx.sys device driver. This kit
and the documentation are available free of charge at the following Internet address:
Development Kit DK-16xx PN IO

SIMATIC NET
Use this software package to configure network components and connections. You will find
information on this on the SIMATIC NET DVD. This software package and the
documentation are not part of the product package.
