■
Function
•
HARDNET-IE S7-REDCONNECT contains the functional
scope of the HARDNET-IE S7 software package (S7-commu-
nication, open communication and PG/OP communication) as
well as additional redundant communication over S7 connec-
tions. No additional license is required for HARDNET-IE S7.
•
Open communication
•
Time synchronization
•
Existing Windows applications can be used
•
Services for monitoring the redundant communication
•
Diagnostic tool for visualizing the communication status
•
Simple redundancy over 2-way communication (STEP 7 V5.0
SP2 and higher)
•
Enhanced redundancy over 4-way communication (STEP 7
V5.1 + SP4 and higher)
Fault-tolerant S7 communication is carried out via a standard
connection and a standby connection. These are monitored dur-
ing operation and switched in the event of a fault. With HARD-
NET-IE S7-REDCONNECT, these remain hidden from the PC ap-
plication.
Fault detection, changeover (if required), communication moni-
toring, and synchronization are all invisible to the application.
The application, e.g. WinCC, communicates with both subunits
of the S7-400H as with an S7-CPU.
User interfaces
OPC interface
The OPC server included in the respective software package
can be used as the standard programming interface for the S7
communication and open communication protocols in order to
connect automation technology applications to OPC-compatible
Windows applications such as Office, HMI systems, etc.
Configuration
•
H-connections are configured and engineered using STEP 7
(V5.0 to V5.5)
