Instructions: In this example, a standard Ethernet network card is used for the S5-compatible communication via the OPC server with the S7 station.
Note:
The procedure described here also applies for communication processors CP1613 (A2), CP1612 and CP1512.
General information: You can choose between two different configuration tools:
- NCM PC:
NCM PC is supplied with the SIMATIC NET CD and permits you to create PC projects and open STEP 7 projects. However, it is not possible to use this software to edit the S7 blocks in the STEP 7 project.
- STEP 7:
