Integration
8.1
Integration
Options of integration in existing or planned system environments/networks:
Ethernet
Wake on LAN and Remote Boot are supported.
The integrated Ethernet interfaces (10/100/1000 Mbps) can also be used for communication
and data exchange with programmable controllers 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
CP 1616 onboard allows you to connect industrial PCs to Industrial Ethernet. Only one CP
1616 module can be installed on a PG/PC. You can find detailed information in the next
section or in the section "Detailed Description > CP 1616 onboard".
Device driver CP 16xx.sys
The device driver allows you to use the Windows network protocol for the optionally available
"CP 1616 onboard" Ethernet PROFINET controller on SIMATIC PCs. The PROFINET
interface will act like a 100 MBit Ethernet interface with a MAC address when you use this
driver. The three RJ45 sockets are connected to each other via switch.
The drivers and documentation can be found in the user manual on the supplied
Documentation and Drivers CD.
