S5 Plc and KTP panel connection.

[tulip]

Our a customer has got S5-95U Plc and OP17 Hmi.OP17 is defect.They want to use a new generation Siemens Simatic basic panel (KTP400,700,1200 etc.).
And we know that this panel and plc have different communication protocols.
My question is; Is there any converter for these two systems to communicate? If yes, what is the order number?
Thanks in advance...

S5 is long gone, looking at the data sheet for the HMI it will not support the S5 connection & does not appear to be a current loop (232) port.
I suggest you either get a re-furbished one or better still replace PLC & HMI. you are going to need TIA anyway to program the HMI

replace PLC & HMI

This is what I'd do too. It's probably going to be a lot more work and more expensive to get a HMI linked up to the S5 rather than just replace.


Siemens do a starter kit with an S7-1200, KTP400 or KTP700 and TIA Portal basic which is everything you need.

IBH Softec and Deltalogic have adapters with which you can connect a current panel with ethernet to an old S5 PLC.

That being said, I agree that you should migrate the old S5 PLC to a modern PLC.

+1 for upgrading the S5 and OP17

Either an S7-1200 or S7-1500 Compact CPU would do.
