Communication for PC-based systems
HARDNET-IE S7-REDCONNECT
2
■
Overview
System configuration for S7-REDCONNECT
•
For connecting PCs over redundant Industrial Ethernet to the
SIMATIC S7-400H
•
Protected from communication failures arising from a fault in
the double bus or in redundant rings
•
For redundant Layer 2 or Layer 3 Industrial Ethernet
•
Can also be implemented in non-redundant networks
•
No additional programming overhead for the PC and in
H systems
•
The appropriate OPC server and configuration tools are
included in the scope of supply of the respective communi-
cation software
•
Enhanced redundancy over 4-way communication
(STEP 7 V5.1 + SP4 and higher)
■
Benefits
•
Protects against communication failures arising from a fault in
the double bus or in redundant rings
•
Simplifies communication between a PC application and the
SIMATIC S7-400H system
•
Secures the investment thanks to the use of existing applica-
tions and flexible application options
•
No additional programming overhead for the PC and in
H systems
•
Increases the availability of the PC application (e.g. PCS 7)
thanks to redundant Layer 2 or Layer 3 communication
■
Application
The HARDNET-IE S7-REDCONNECT software package con-
nects the SIMATIC S7-400H with applications on the PC such as
WinCC.
A redundant Industrial Ethernet is typically used. The software
package can also be used if SIMATIC H systems are operated
on non-redundant networks.
Combined operation of redundant and single systems is also
possible.

Design
The following components are required to design a
SIMATIC H system with PC connection
PC with:
•
up to four CP 1613 A2/CP 1623/CP 1628 and
HARDNET-IE S7-REDCONNECT to connect the PC to
Industrial Ethernet with ISO or ISO-on-TCP protocol
S7-400H with:
•
CP 443-1 to connect the S7-400H to Industrial Ethernet with
ISO or ISO-on-TCP protocol
•
STEP 7 V5.0 to V5.5 for configuring
PC with
2 x CP 1613 A2/CP 1623/CP 1628
and HARDNET-IE
