Link PLC5 with Siemens S7-300

[gbarenbaum]

I need link a PLC5 (5/25 with DH, DH+ or DF1) with Simatic C7 with Profibus DP port.
With the cheapest possible way.
I think, PLC5/25 has not Ethernet capability. I'm right?


Thanks.

Allen-Bradley and Cheap just do not go together.

Check SST; www.mysst.com
or ProLinx; www.prolinxgateways.com

These gateways mat be what you need.

I have had good success and it is very easy to setup the SST Module for Profibus on a PLC5 rack. This will be the best way to do it. Again even if you had the capability of ethernet you will be doing too much code/ladder to achieve what you want. The SST method is the most reliable.......
