Configuration Notes:
Specific settings are required in WinCC to be able to access a controller with SIMATIC WinCC via the TeleService Adapter.

Configuration of TS Adapter:
 
No. Procedure
1 Install the TeleService software.

The default settings of the adapter correspond to the settings of a standard SIMATIC system. It is therefore not necessary to make any changes.

2 Install the adapter on the controller and using a zero modem cable connect it to the serial interface of your computer (default: COM1).

If you connect your adapter to a different serial interface, you must adapt the configuration of the TS Adapter in the PG/PC interface. Open this and configure the connected serial interface in the Properties of the TS Adapter. The transmission rate should match that set on the TS Adapter.

There are two options for accessing the TS Adapter with WinCC.

MPI access point:
 
No. Procedure
1 Configure the PG/PC interface.
  • Open this via "Start > Settings > Control Panel > PG/PC Interface".
  • As Access Point you select "MPI (WinCC)" and the TS Adapter as the Interface Parameter Assignment Used .


Fig. 02

2 In WinCC you add a new driver in the Tag Management.
  • In WinCC, right-click on the Tag Management and then click on the menu command "Add new driver".
  • Select the "SIMATIC S7 PROTOCOL SUITE.CHN" driver and click on "Open".

3 The TS Adapter communicates via the MPI protocol. Therefore you must set the system parameters of MPI.
  • Open the SIMATIC S7 PROTOCOL SUITE driver in the Tag Management.
  • Right-click on the MPI connection and select the "System Parameters" menu command.


Fig. 04

4 Set the system parameters as shown in Fig. 05.
  • Click on the "Unit" tab and select the "MPI" item in the drop-down list for "Logical device name".


Fig. 05

5 Now create your connection and variables. Check the connection properties.
6 Now it is possible to communication with the TS Adapter.

S7ONLINE access point:
 
No. Procedure
1 Configure the PG/PC interface.
  • Open this via "Start > Settings > Control Panel > PG/PC Interface".
  • As Access Point you select S7ONLINE (STEP 7) and the TS Adapter as the Interface Parameter Assignment Used.

2 In WinCC you add a new driver in the Tag Management.
  • In WinCC, right-click on the Tag Management and then click on the menu command "Add new driver".
  • Select the "SIMATIC S7 PROTOCOL SUITE.CHN" driver and click on "Open".

3 The TS Adapter communicates via the MPI protocol. Therefore you must set the system parameters of MPI.
  • Open the SIMATIC S7 PROTOCOL SUITE driver in the Tag Management.
  • Right-click on the MPI connection and select the "System Parameters" menu command.

4 Set the system parameters as shown in Fig. 07.

If you cannot select S7ONLINE as logical device name, enter it manually. It is important that it is written in uppercase characters.
The WinCC Explorer closes automatically in order to adopt these changes.

5 Now create your connection and variables. Check the connection properties.
6 Now it is possible to communication with the TS Adapter.
