Overview
1.1
Application and function description
This document is intended as a supplement to the NETLink
®
product line manuals.
Many visualization manufacturers support the TCP/IP protocol
‘
RFC1006’
also known as
‘ISO on top of TCP’
to be able to com-
municate with S7-300/S7-400 systems, for example.
If this
‘RFC1006’
function is activated for example in the NET-
Link
®
PRO, explicit adaptations must be made to the software
products. This manual describes step by step the basic settings
of a small selection of visualization solutions for transferring
data via this communication path.
In firmware versions from 2.3 of the NETLink ® PRO family
adapters the
"RFC1006
" function is always active.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the development
environment of the software solutions mentioned in this doc-
ument, as only the points specific to the connection are de-
scribed
More extensive support with commissioning and parameteriza-
tion of the various SCADA-, HMI/OPC server systems is avail-
able directly from the manufacturers in question.
At this point is not described how a Internet teleservice via
VPN and port forwarding is implemented with a NETLink
®
Ethernet gateway.
