Product Overview
The S5 UniLink Adapter allows you to connect an S5 Programmable
Controller to a TIWAY I network, as shown in Figure 1-1. The S5 Adapter
provides the hardware and software that customizes the interface to an S5
PLC through a SIMATIC CP 525 Communications Processor.

The following components are required for connecting an S5 programmable
controller to TIWAY.
•
UniLink Adapter: includes an RS-232-compatible interface port that
supports RK 512 protocol with the 3964R transfer procedure (for
interface to the CP 525 module) via the S5 PIM; also includes two
TIWAY I interface ports (see Figure 1-2).
•
S5 Personality Interface Module (PIM): a plug-in module that
contains the software needed to customize the UniLink Adapter as an
S5 interface (see Figure 1-3).
NOTE: The only way an S5 UniLink Adapter can communicate with an S5
controller is through a CP 525 or a CP 524 module.
