RFC1006 Function (S7-TCP/IP)
As an additional option, the NETLink
®
Switch can implement the
RFC1006 protocol (also known as S7-TCP/IP or as ISO on top of
TCP). RFC mode is always active and does not have to be specifi-
cally enabled. The NETLink
®
Switch automatically goes “
online
” as
soon as it detects an RFC frame.
Because many visualization system manufacturers have imple-
mented this protocol to implement connections with CPs from
Siemens (e.g. CP343 or CP443), NETLink
®
Switch with RFC1006 is
a low-cost alternative to communication with these visualization
systems.
The RFC1006 functionality of the NETLink
®
Switch is also sup-
ported by S7-200 systems.
The following software packages with RFC1006 support have so
far been tested in conjunction with the NETLink products:
•
WinCC V6.0/V7.0 (Siemens AG)
•
WinCC flexible 2005/2007/2008 (Siemens AG)
•
ZenOn V6.2 (COPA-DATA)
•
PROCON-Win V3.2 (GTI Control)
•
S7-OPC Server, V3.1 and higher (Systeme Helmholz GmbH)
•

the subject of SCADA, HMI, and OPC (example applications) (for
