Hi,

I need your help regarding a master PLC configuration.
System: 12 VIPA CPU 214DP(CPU with MPI and Profibus DP slave interface) that can work independently. Each CPU communicate over MPI with an Siemens OP73.
This 12 CPUs and 2 IO DP stations have to communicate with one master S7 300 PLC over Profibus DP.
The master PLC communicate also with one PC were I have installed WinCC Flexible application and an OPC server.
For this system I want to use teleservice acces.

Please help me with a solution for: master CPU communitation interfaces(315 is ok for me), OPC server, and TS adapter to use.

Cheers!
 
Hi,
You can use a any Siemens/Vipa master CPU.
Why you need OPC server if you connect WinCC flexible with Siemens/VIPA CPU?
You can use TS adapters from Siemens, VIPA or other manufacturer conected to MPI(I am not sure if it is possible to conect a TS adapter to profibus on VIPA CPU's).
If you need help with HW configuration of the project send me email and I will send you a example project(it's 400kB and not possible to attach here).

Regards,
Mitko
 
Hi,

I use OPC server to send informations to another system (ICONICS). This OPC server it will be installed in the same PC with WinCC Flexible (or maybe i can use the OPC server from WinCC flex).
I need a cost effective sollution.
My sollution is the next one:

- CPU 315 2PN/DP (MPI for teleservice, ETHERNET for PC with WinCC Flexible)

- CP 342-5 for Profibus communication with 12 CPU 214DP and 2 DP stations.

My concern: I don't know if the OPC server from WinCC flexible is satisfactoy for my client, so i want to have an alternative. If I will install an OPC server(ex:SIMATIC NET IE SOFTNET-S7 LEAN/ 2007) on the same PC with WinCC flexible how can I connect the ICONICS to this OPC server(i heard from a guy that is a problem with 2 ethernet connections):confused:?

Best regard,
Silviu
 
Sorry,
but I am not a SCADA specialist, if you have a questions for the PLC, I will try to help.
For the PLC configuration I will recomend(because of price and easy to configurate) to USE CPU 315-2DP(MPI for teleservice,Profibus for VIPA)
and CP 343-1 LEAN for the WinCC Flexible. its almost 600 euro cheaper.
Regards,
Mitko
