Communication Adapters for S7 Controllers
The access to an S7 PLC from the PC is supported by default with newer models. The S7-1200 and S7-1500 series usually already offer the possibility to connect an Ethernet cable and thus easily establish a connection. With many older models of the S7-200, S7-300 and S7-400 on the other hand, there was no need for this at the time of development.
However, the new requirements from IIoT and the Industry 4.0 presuppose access to your S7 controller. To implement this, you do not need to invest in a new controller. With the S7 adapters from DELTA LOGIC, connecting older S7 models is very easy, fast and cost-effective. Depending on your requirements, you can use the PROFIBUS, MPI or PPI interface of your controller. For the PC side, there are options for Ethernet, USB and the serial RS-232 interface.
You want to use an Ethernet port of the PC and connect it with PROFIBUS, MPI or PPI of the PLC? Then the ACCON NetLink PRO compact is the right adapter for you. If you prefer to use USB instead of the Ethernet connector, we recommend the ACCON NetLink USB compact. For the connection of MPI to your serial RS-232 interface of the PC simply use the ACCON MPI Adapter RS-232.
