INGEAR AB OPC Server for Siemens MP370 and MP270B Panels
Now Supporting WinCC flexible!
This product provides connections from Siemens MP370 and MP270B panels to Allen-Bradley PLCs via TCP/IP Ethernet and Ethernet/IP. The OPC server runs on the panel and talks directly to the PLC and provides data to the following client applications:
- Simatic WinCC flexible - NEW! - Now Supported - working with WinCC flexible section added to help file!
- Simatic ProTool V6.0 SP2 or higher - Extensive online help including an exclusive “Working with Simatic ProTool” section included in the demonstration and licensed software.
- Indusoft CEView
- Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ 3.0
Free Try Before You Buy Demo - the demonstration version of this product is fully functioning and will communicate to your PLC for 2 hours at a time. The demonstration software can be electronically converted to licensed software on your panel through the purchase of a license serial number.
Allen-Bradley PLC Hardware Supported
- MicroLogix 1000/1200/1500 Series - via Serial DF1
- PLC 5 Family - Via Serial DF1, Ethernet (PLC 5/xxE and PLC 5/xx with ethernet sidecar module) (Also DH+ via serial to DF1 convertor - see below)
- SLC 500 Family - via Serial DF1, Ethernet (Also DH-485 & DH+ via serial to DF1 convertor - see below)
- ControlLogix
- ControlLogix L5550, L5555, L5563 - via Ethernet/IP or DF1 serial - uses NATIVE TAG ADDRESSING!
- ControlLogix Gateway to downstream Data Highway Plus (DH+) and ControlNet devices
- CompactLogix - via DF1 serial and 1761-NET ENI Series B. CompactLogix L35E and L32E supported.
Communications Interfaces Supported
- DF1 Serial - Com1-24, 300-115kBaud, CRC/BCC error checking. Connect to PLC5 Channel 0, SLC500 Channel0, Micrologix 1000/1500, Control Logix L5550 Channel 0 serial interfaces and the following AB interface boxes/cards:1770-KF2 (box for DH+ to DF1 RS232), 1770-KF3 (box for DH-485 to DF1 RS232), 1785-KE (1771 format card for DH+ to DF1 RS232), and 1747-KE (SLC format card for DH-485 to DF1 RS232)
- Data Highway 485 - via 1770-KF3 and 1785-KE (see above)
- Data Highway Plus - via 1770-KF2 and 1747-KE (see above) and ControlLogix Gateway
- Ethernet/IP (CIP protocol) & TCP/IP Ethernet - PLC 5-Enet, 1785-Enet Sidecar, SLC 5/05 Enet, ControlLogix L5550/L5555 and higher via 1756-Enet or 1756-ENBT modules, the 1761 NET ENI Series A interface (allows AB DF1 devices except CompactLogix to get on TCP/IP Ethernet), 1761 NET ENI Series B (for CompactLogix), and the Digi AIOne Ethernet/Serial convertor (a 1761 NET ENI alternative). All ethernet connections made using the built-in Ethernet connection in the Siemens Panels
- ControlNet via ControlLogix Gateway
Memory Types Supported (includes Arrays where applicable)
- PLC 5, SLC 5/xx, MicroLogix: File types I, O, S, B, T, C, R, N, F, L, D, A, ST, PD, SC, MG (see product help file for full details on a PLC by PLC basis as not all PLCs have all file types. If the PLC doesn’t have the desired file type, this driver obviously cannot read it.
- ControlLogix/CompactLogix: BOOL, SINT, INT, DINT, REAL, TIMER, COUNTER, MESSAGE, UDT’s (User Defined Structures-including nested structures), MOTION_GROUP, MOTION_STATUS, PID. Both CPU (Global) and Program Tags are supported. Reading arrays of tags from the PLC and passing the array directly to ProTool as a VT_ARRAY data type is supported where ProTool supports a matching sub-type on the VT_ARRAY data type and is able to present the data to you in a usable format.
Data Types Supported - see product help file for full details by data type.
