HMI and SIMOTION SCOUT
3.3.1
HMI and SIMOTION SCOUT Overview
The operational sequences on the SIMOTION P320-4 are either monitored via the HMI system
(Human Machine Interface) or the SIMOTION SCOUT engineering system.
The HMI or ES software can be connected using the following variants:
● Local (Page 59)
● via PROFINET (Page 72)
● via Ethernet (Page 73)
● via IsoPROFIBUS (optional) (Page 74)
Local communication of the HMI/ES
Only one local connection to the local SIMOTION Runtime is possible. If HMI or ES is also
installed locally, PC internal can access other controllers/devices via PROFINET / PROFIBUS.
See Section Local HMI or ES on SIMOTION P320-4 (Page 59).
Communication of the HMI / ES via PROFINET / Ethernet / PROFIBUS
By using one of these communication variants, you can control and monitor several
SIMOTION devices.
3.3.2
Local HMI or ES on SIMOTION P320-4
The model described below is used for the communication of the SIMOTION P320-4 with a
local HMI or ES. The SIMOTION SCOUT engineering system or the HMI system can be
installed directly on the SIMOTION P320-4 S.
For this model, you must set the communication (access point) to TCP/IP .
The SIMOTION P320-4 is already configured for this communication version at the time of
delivery.
