  • Page 4: Accon-S5-Lan Properties

    ACCON-S5-LAN is a connection adaptor between a PC and a S5 controller via Ethernet using TCP/IP. The voltage feed is effected by the PLC’s interface, so an external supply feed is not necessary. The ACCON-S5-LAN has an integrated multiplexer to allow you to visualize and program at the same time. With the help of the supplied software, a virtual, serial interface can be setup at the PC.

    A network interface card 10/100 Mbps with RJ-45 bushing. 2.2. Software requirements For using the ACCON-S5-LAN you need a PC with Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. The use with Windows 98SE and Windows Me is possible, but no support is available for these OS. ACCON-S5-LAN...
  • Page 7: Assembly

    The ACCON-S5-LAN will be plugged in directly on the S5 PLC. Normally the voltage feed is effected by the PLC’s interface. If the PLC does not have a 24 VDC power supply (e.g. S5-95U), this allows the ACCON-S5-LAN to be fed 24 VDC (green clamp).
  • Page 8 A direct operation of the network card on your PC without a hub/switch is possible. You have to use a cross-over cable for this kind of connection. Figure 4: Connecting the ACCON-S5-LAN to a PG/PC via cross-over-cable ACCON-S5-LAN DELTALOGIC Automatisierungstechnik GmbH...

    Please find further information about the »S5-LAN-Manager« program in chapter 4.3 »The software S5-LAN-Manager«. If the ACCON-S5-LAN is to replace a serial connection, a virtual, serial interface has to be setup. This is made with the »PLC-VCom« program, look chapter 4.1 »The software PLC-VCom«.
  • Page 10: Using The Software Plc-Vcom

    Select the required ACCON-S5-LAN and press «OK«. • When the IP address of the selected ACCON-S5-LAN is shown in the state section in the PLC-VCom dialogue and »connected« is indicated, the connection is made. In the tray of the task bar (to the left of the time), the symbol for the PLC-VCOM software is shown. The setup program enters the program in the autostart folder so that it is loaded automatically with every startup.

  • Page 12 This function is not necessary for the ACCON-S5-LAN. As soon as you have pressed »OK« and an ACCON-S5-LAN has been selected, the PLC-VCOM dialogue will be refreshed and shows the selected ACCON and the »connected« state in the »Status« section.
  • Page 13: Step 5 Add-On Driver For Accon-S5-Lan

    4.2. STEP 5 add-on driver for ACCON-S5-LAN In order to make the virtual serial interface (COMx) setup by PLC-VCom available for the Siemens S5 software, this add-on driver must be installed. PLC-VCom must be installed previous to this add-on driver! Before you start the installation, please close the Siemens S5 software.
  • Page 14 Select here the same interface that has been setup as virtual serial interface in the »PLC-VCom« program. Then verify with »OK« and the necessary changes will thereupon be made and at least, the program will be closed. ACCON-S5-LAN DELTALOGIC Automatisierungstechnik GmbH...

    4.3. The software S5-LAN-Manager All ACCON-S5-LAN settings are made with the »S5-LAN-Manager« program meaning the IP address data (IP address, net mask, default gateway, DHCP support), the used TCP port addresses, the device name and even the possibility of a firmware update.
  • Page 16 If you already know the IP address of your ACCON-S5-LAN, you can enter it by clicking on »Suche bestimmte Adresse« (Search certain address) and search it by clicking on »Find«. Figure 16: Find ACCON-S5-LAN In order to send a firmware file via the »Firmware senden« (Send firmware), the firmware has to be loaded before.
  • Page 17 DHCP/AutoIP If this checkbox is active, the ACCON-S5-LAN is searching a DHCP server to receive an IP address on startup. If no server can be found after 3 retries (can take several seconds), the ACCON-S5-LAN will search an IP address from the »Auto-IP«...
  • Page 18: Using The Accon-S5-Lan

    5.1. Siemens S5 software V7.x In order to use the ACCON-S5-LAN with the Siemens S5 software, you need the »PLC-VCom« program, see chapter 4.1 »ACCON-S5-LAN«. Under Windows 98SE and Windows Me, the checkbox »Access to MSDOS-Box« must be activated in the configuration.

  • Page 20: Direct Communication With Wincc V6.0

    If you use this protocol, port 102 is to be entered in the ACCON-S5-LAN. Firstly, you start the »S5-LAN-Manager« program via the respective shortcut in the start menu. Click on the »Search in local network« button and mark the ACCON-S5-LAN, which is to be used for the communication with WinCC.
  • Page 21 Select the »TCP_IP« entry under »Application access point« and afterwards, select the »TCP/IP -> XXX« entry in the list »Used interface parameterization«, whereupon »XXX« stands for the used network card. Thereupon, the entry under »Application access point« changes into »TCP_IP --> TCP/IP -> XXX«. Save the settings by clicking »OK«. ACCON-S5-LAN DELTALOGIC Automatisierungstechnik GmbH...
