6. Integration of an NETL ink® Adapter into the PG/PC

Interface of the Engineering Software

Please install the NETLink® S7 NET driver on your PG/PC from the enclosed CD or

download its latest version at www.helmholz.com.

Notes:

For the TIA Portal2 as well, the general assignments must be carried out only on

the PG/PC interface (accessible via the Windows¹ Control Panel).
If you‘re using an old operating system (< XP SP3) you have to add the interface

„NETLink®-S7-NET PRO“ manually with an intermediate step during the installation.

Click the “New” button under the “Local Connection” tab to add the adapter. You

can enter the IP address and the name of the adapter manually or you can use the

integrated search function of the driver. To do this, click on the button “Search

NETL ink® PRO Family…”.

To integrate the NETL ink® into the PG/PC interface, select the interface Parameter

Assignment (MPI, PPI or PROFIBUS) and open the properties of “NETL ink® PRO

Family”.
