WinCC with S7-300 and SLC500/4

[jm76]

Hello everybody
Somebody know if is possible connect to Wincc with a S7-300 and SLC500/4.
Because wincc have a port MPI/DP the same that S7-300, but the SLC500 not have the same protocol..

Thanks advanced

Wincc or WinCC flexible?

Thanks TurpoUrpo for your interesting
To Scada Wincc V4.0

Hi,
I have the same problem, I want to connect 2 PLC :
*S7-3005316-2DP (with free ethernet port)
*AB SLC 504
I want to connect them via WINCC, it s possible?

 

[jm76]

Hi
Yes, this is possible.
Wincc V7 have the following drivers

Allen Bradley - Ethernet IP
SIMATIC TI Ethernet Layer 4
SIMATIC S7 Protocol Suite
....

Thank's for the answer,
for th S7-300 i have an ethernet free port but for AB SLC504 i have an RS232 port.,i think that the DF1 is the appropriate drivers.

 

[jm76]

You welcome.
I don´t know if is possible use RS-232 direct to Wincc, I think this not possible.
But if you don´t have ethernet card for your SLC 504, so you can use OPC, with this, you will don´t have any problem.

I think that's possible with the DF1 protocol.
For the OPC solution, it's my last issue, i think to add a new module of ethernet port,have you any idea what's the model and it's possible or not?
thanks

DF1 not is supported with Wincc, this don´t work with this protocol, if you want use it, you need OPC, RSLinx Profesional or Gateway, both are OPC Server for SLC
You can change your CPU with Ethernet port to "SLC 5/05"
I have not found Communication Modules with Ethernet
take a look

Thanks for the link,but the problem is that i don't have a space in the chasis to connect this module.

I find another solution and i don't know if it's correct, the solution is to use a converter SERIAL to ETHERNET! what do you think?

 

[jm76]

This link is for PLC-5 not SLC!
So you can change the CPU!
Here, there is a lot of people that are very good!
I hope they give their opinion

 

[HE86]

Sorry, I put the wrong link.
What about the solution of the coverter?
