Description
2.3 HMI and SIMOTION SCOUT
2.3.4
HMI or ES via Ethernet (external access)
Networking via Ethernet
A complex interconnection with several HMIs or ESs is only possible using an Ethernet
communication. This allows both an external HMI or ES to access several SIMOTION devices
or one SIMOTION device to access another one, for example, to display the production data.
Figure 2-7
Using Ethernet, the following services are possible on a SIMOTION device:
● HMI software
WinCC flexible or the OPC server can use Ethernet to access one or more SIMOTION
devices.
● SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering System
SIMOTION SCOUT can also use Ethernet to access one or more SIMOTION devices.
● SIMOTION IT
SIMOTION P320-4 offers communication with standard IT protocols (HTTP) over the
integrated Ethernet interface.
This makes it possible to access data or diagnostic information in the SIMOTION P320-4
from any location via intranet or the Internet.
