Integration
8.1
Integration into an automation system
The following options are available for the integration in existing or planned system
environments or networks:
Ethernet
Wake on LAN and Remote Boot are supported.
The integrated Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Mbps) can also be used for communication and
for data exchange with automation devices such as SIMATIC S7.
You will need the "SOFTNET S7" software package for this.
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
The CP 1616 onboard allows the connection of industrial PCs to Industrial Ethernet. Only
one CP 1616 can be installed in 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 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.
The driver and documentation are available on the supplied Documentation and Drivers CD.
