Variable connection adaptor for a S5 PLC via TCP/IP The ACCON-COM-Cable IE is an adaptor to connect a PC with a S5 PLC via TCP/IP. It is fed by the PLC’s interface, an external power supply is not necessary, but possible. The ACCON-COM-Cable IE will be a low-priced alternative solution for the ACCON-S5-LAN, if only the serial connection to the S5 is supposed to be replaced (concerning the fields of application see »Decision guidance«). Perfect fields of application As programming adaptor to create and change the PLC program As communication adaptor for visualizations As communication adaptor for accessing the PLC’s data Varied ranges of application Programming a S5 PLC, e.g. with ACCON-PG or the Siemens STEP 5 software Convincing and varied With the included software, a virtual serial interface can be installed on the PC. Each software supporting a serial connection to the S5 PLC can therefore use the ACCON-COM-Cable IE. Technical highlights Compact, low-priced connection from S5 PLCs to ethernet Quick and simple configuration and bringing into service Access via virtual COM port Order data Accessories Top-hat rail switch Spider 5TX Technical data | Supported operating systems | No limitations (the driver for a virtual serial interface is only for Windows 98SE, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Vista) | | Hardware requirements | Ethernet interface and TCP/IP protocol | | Connection to the PC | RJ45 bushing for Ethernet 10/100 Mbps with automatic detection; patch cable included in delivery | | Connection to the PLC | TTY with 15-pin SUB-D plug | | Supported PLCs | S5 of the U-series | | Weight in kg | 0.05 | | Dimensions (W x H x D) in mm | 21 x 42 x 65 | | Protection type | IP 20 | | Supply voltage | 24 VDC from PLC interface or externally | | External voltage feed possible | Yes | | Power consumption | Ca. 55 mA (typ.) | | Galvanically isolated | No | | Operating temperature | 0 °C to 60 °C | | Storage temperature | -25 °C to 75 °C | | Integrated multiplexer | No |
