Siemens S7 TCP/IP Driver ID:72

Interface Description

IGSS offers an interface for connecting IGSS to Simatic S7/400, Simatic S7/300 and S7/200 using TCP/IP network.

The driver uses S7 functions for exchanging data between IGSS and Simatic S7 Series PLCs. The driver can only be used on network which allows TCP/IP traffic through port 102 (check your firewall settings).

The Simatic PLCs must be equipped with an Ethernet interface port or Ethernet CP board. Applicable CP boards are e.g. CP443-1 or CP443-1 IT for the S7/400 and CP343-1 for the S7/300. The PC must have an standard ethernet NIC installed.

The IGSS32 system polls the PLC equipment cyclically according to one of four user-defined time intervals. The time intervals are configurable from 100 milliseconds to 999 seconds. The system automatically groups process data in data blocks – thus fully exploiting the the communication link in relation to the present configuration.
