Making older control systems fit for Industry 4.0

The compact all-rounder among the programming adapters between PC and S7 PLCs ACCON NetLink PRO compact is a handy communication and programming adapter between PC and S7 controllers. The electronics of the ACCON NetLink PRO compact is placed in the case of a PROFIBUS connector. Thus, the adapter is very small and handy.As all-rounder, the ACCON NetLink PRO compact can be connected to the PLC via MPI, PROFIBUS and PPI. The ACCON NetLink PRO compact automatically detects the current bus settings of the PLC. Perfect fields of application As programming adapter to create and change the PLC program As communication adapter for visualisations As communication adapter to access the PLC's data For remote maintenance via internet, intranet, dial-in router Varied ranges of application Programming S7 controllers with STEP 7 Changing S7 programs via a company network (intranet) Projecting HMI devices with WinCC flexible Connecting visualisations to S7 PLCs via TCP/IP (RFC 1006) Logging S7 data via TCP/IP (e.g. with ACCON-EasyLog) Remote maintenance of S7 controllers via internet (VPN, e.g. via the DELTA LOGIC Connectivity Service) Convincing and varied The communication of the ACCON NetLink PRO compact to the PC is effected via TCP/IP so that it can be used for remote maintenance purposes via router, intranet and internet. The ACCON NetLink PRO compact can be configurated via its integrated website. For the security of your facility, the access to the website is protected by a password.The ACCON NetLink PRO compact supports the S7 communication via RFC 1006 (ISO on TCP). Thus, TCP/IP communication processors (e.g. CP343-1) can be replaced by this adapter. However, projected connections are not supported. Furthermore, the ACCON NetLink PRO compact supports the parameterization of DP-Slaves via DP-V1 (class 2).A driver for SIMATIC applications (ACCON-S7-NET) is included in delivery. The ACCON NetLink PRO compact is fed by the connected bus. Alternatively, you can use external 24 VDC (e.g. with this external power supply). Technical highlights Compact design Automatic bus profile detection Full PROFIBUS speed up to 12 Mbps Extended diagnostics Supporting MPI, PROFIBUS and PPI Supporting DHCP Supporting slave parameterization via DP-V1 (class 2) Supporting all standard SIMATIC Engineering Tools Supporting ISO on TCP (RFC 1006) Active connection cable, therefore no spur lines Voltage supply from the CPU External 24 VDC voltage feed possible Plug with PG bushing Galvanically isolated Applicable up to 60 ° ACCON-AGLink implemented Made in Germany

For access to your Siemens controller via OPC UA the ACCON OPC UA Server is the right choice. Besides S7 PLCs, it is also suitable for SINUMERIK machine tool controllers. One of the few servers certified by the OPC Foundation that also supports optimized data blocks.
