Overview
- PCI Express card (PCIe x1) with internal microprocessor for connection of PG/PC to Industrial Ethernet
- 10/100/1000 Mbps (autosensing/autocrossover/autonegotiation)
- Integrated 2-port switch (2 x RJ45 connection)
- Communication services via:
- Open IE communication (TCP/IP and UDP)
- ISO transport protocol
- PG/OP communication
- S7 communication
- Open communication (SEND/RECEIVE)
- Time synchronization
- ISO and TCP/IP transport protocol on board
- Integration into network management systems through the support of SNMP (V1)
- The appropriate OPC server and configuration tools are included in the scope of supply of the respective communication software
Benefits
- High plant availability thanks to
- stable and constant data communication by means of protocol processing on the CP
- Optional: redundant communication via intelligent CPs combined with high-availability software package (S7-REDCONNECT)
- IT cost savings (e.g. no additional computer) and use of free computer capacity for further applications since the intelligent CPs facilitate large quantity structures and enable the workload of the host CPU to be reduced
- Simple access to automation/diagnostic data via SNMP and OPC as standard interface
- Easy and cost-efficient commissioning due to plugĀ &Ā play technology
- Connection of additional field devices to the Industrial Ethernet by means of an additional switch port
- Switch operation possible via external power supply even with PC turned off
Application
The CPĀ 1623 makes it possible to connect to the Industrial Ethernet (10/100/1000Ā Mbps) for SIMATIC PG/PC and PCs with PCI Express slot. Additional field devices can be flexibly connected to the Industrial Ethernet via the integrated switch.
Design
Industrial Ethernet:
- 2 x RJ45 connection
- Integrated 2-port switch for 10/100/1000Ā Mbit/s (half/full/duplex)
- Autosensing/Autocrossover/Autonegotiation
PG/PC slot:
- PCI Express x1 card
- Can also be operated in PCIe x4-, x8- or x16 slots
- Installation via PCIe standard mechanisms (Plug & Play)
Power supply:
- Operating voltage 3.3Ā V/12Ā V via PCIe interface
- Optional external 12 – 24Ā V DC power supply for switch operation with PG/PC turned off
Size:
- Short PCIe format
Function
User interfaces
OPC interface
The OPC server included in the respective software package can be used as the standard programming interface for the protocols S7 communication and open communication, in order to connect automation technology applications to OPC-compatible Windows applications (Office, HMI systems, etc.)
Programming interface via C library
The programming interfaces for the S7 communication, PG/OP communication, and open communication protocols for existing applications are implemented as Dynamic Link Library (DLL) interfaces.
Software for PG/OP communication
This software makes it possible to program the S7 controllers via Industrial Ethernet in conjunction with the STEPĀ 7 engineering software.
It is contained in all CPĀ 1623 software packages.
Software for S7 communicationĀ (HARDNET-IEĀ S7 or S7-REDCONNECT)
The S7 interface allows PG/PC applications (e.g. WinCC) and user programs to access the SIMATICĀ S7 system components. This provides easy, flexible access to the data of the SIMATIC S7 controller.
S7 communication offers:
Administrative services
- Connection management
- Mini database
- Trace
Data transfer services
- Read/write variables
- BSEND/BRECEIVE
H-communication
For redundant S7 communication with a high-availability S7-400H system, the CPĀ 1623 can be used in connection with the S7-REDCONNECT software.
Software for open communication (SEND/RECEIVE)
This interface is used for communication between
- PG/PC and SIMATIC S5
- PG/PC and SIMATIC S7
- PG/PC and PG/PC
Open communication (SEND/RECEIVE) offers the following services:
- Management services
- Dial-up services
- Data transfer services
These functionalities are a component part of the HARDNET-IEĀ S7Ā software product.
Mode of operation
Protocols up to Level 4 (Transport) are processed autonomously on the module.
The internal memory is available for this purpose and it also provides for a large quantity structure and high communication reliability.
Data is exchanged between the module and the host in master mode. This means that the CPĀ 1623 accesses the physical RAM of the host.
A Windows driver transfers the data between the host system and the CPĀ 1623. The transmission rate to Industrial Ethernet is detected and automatically switched over (autosensing).
The IT functionality is provided in combination with the Windows software of the PC.
Diagnostics
All MIB-2 objects, for example, can be read out via SNMP. This enables the current status of the Ethernet interfaces to be retrieved.
Configuration
- The S7 communication and open communication protocols are configured in STEPĀ 7 or NCMĀ PC.
- A configuration tool is included in the scope of delivery of the CPĀ 1623 software packages.
