Mpi/Profibus Interface - MB Connect Line mbNET Series Manual

MPI/PROFIBUS Interface

Communication with S7 via

VCOMLAN2 (PC adapter in SIMATIC Manager)

RFC1006

mbNETS7 driver (direct installation in SIMATIC Manager)
Label
VCOM-LAN2/PC adapter
MPI/PROFIBUS Baud rate
If you select "VCOM-LAN2/PC adapter", the PG/PC interfaces must be installed on a PC
adapter (MPI/PROFIBUS). For bus speeds higher than 1.5 Mbit/s this must be manually
assigned.
MPI/PROFIBUS network driver
ADVICE:
Enabling this option launches the installation of network drivers on the client PC. Dispensing
with separate driver installation and using the "TCP/IP (Auto)" option with a PG/PC interface
is only possible if the RFC1006 option is enabled. Instructions on this are available on our
website support pages under the heading "RFC1006". RFC1006 uses TCP Port 102.
Protocol
Enable RFC1006
You can select to enable the RFC1006 protocol here.
Own station address
If RFC1006 is enabled, assign a unique MPI/DP station address for the router.
ADVICE:
The connected router will use this station address to log into the MPI/DP network. This is
necessary if you are using RFC1006 communication exclusively. In a mixed operation of
connections using network drivers and RFC1006, the router always logs in using the address
assigned to the first connection used.
