Using the RFC1006 option (S7-TCP/IP)
As an additional option, the NETLink PRO ETH has implemented the
RFC1006 protocol (also known as S7-TCP/IP or as ISO on top of TCP).
This functionality can be enabled and parameterized via the Web interface of
the NETLink PRO ETH.
Because many visualization system manufacturers have implemented this
protocol to ensure a connection to Simatic controllers via TCP-CPs from
Siemens (e.g. CP343 or CP443), NETLink PRO ETH with RFC1006 is a
lower-cost alternative to communication with these visualization systems.
Please notice the RFC1006 functionality is not accessible with S7-200
systems connected to the NETLink PRO ETH.
The following software packages with RFC1006 support have so far been
tested in conjunction with the NETLink PRO ETH:
•
WinCC V6.0 (Siemens AG)
•
ZenOn V6.2 (COPA-DATA)
•
PROCON-Win V3.2 (GTI Control)
•
S7/S5-OPC server, V3.1 and higher (Softing AG)
•
AGLink V4.0 (DELTALOGIC Automatisierungstechnik GmbH)
•
WinCE 5.0 Terminal TP21AS (Sütron Electronic GmbH)

Configuration of the RFC1006 interface
The configuration page of the Web interface, accessible via a link on the
home page, is a configuration interface for the user (see Section 7.3).
The option
‘RFC 1006 interface ON/OFF’
activates or deactivates the
RFC1006 interface.
The possible options are:
•
ON:
The RFC1006 functionality is enabled and
can be used, taking further
configuration into account.
•
OFF:
The RFC1006 functionality is deactivated.
!
The usage of RFC1006 at
S7-200 systems is not
possible.
