  • Page 4: Technical Description

    ACCON-NetLink-USB compact is the compact communication and programming adaptor between PC and S7 controllers. The electronics of the ACCON-NetLink-USB compact is placed in the box of a PROFIBUS connector what makes the adaptor very small and handy. As all-rounder, the ACCON-NetLink-USB compact can be connected to the PLC via MPI, PROFIBUS and PPI.

    Connect the 9-pin SUB-D plug to the MPI or PROFIBUS interface of your S7 controller. Installation of the USB driver When connecting an ACCON-NetLink-USB compact to the PC for the first time, the operating system tries to install a suitable device driver. This could take a while and continues as follows:...

  • Page 11: Bus Settings

    BUS SETTINGS The ACCON-NetLink-USB compact can be used with three different bus systems: PPI, MPI and PROFIBUS. Configuration example: MPI The MPI configuration contains station-related settings and net-related settings. The most important setting of the bus configuration is the station address.
  • Page 12 - using S7-200 - older Siemens S7 CPUs - if the ACCON-NetLink-USB compact is the only master at the bus When using the autobaud function the initialization lasts a bit longer because the online parameters have to be determined. It is possible that the autobaud function does not work correctly at slower transmission rates (e.
  • Page 13 Unlike to MPI the bus parameters under PROFIBUS are not constant and change in relation to the number and type of the used PROFIBUS stations. You should always use the PROFIBUS parameters which are set in the actual automation system (look for the STEP7 project). ACCON-NetLink-USB compact...
