Virtual interface for IP-based applications 

As of firmware version 2.8, the S7-1500 CPU offers the option of reaching its IP-based 

applications, such as OPC UA, not only via its local (PN) interfaces, but also via the 

interfaces of communication processors in the same station. A communication partner 

reaches these IP-based applications via a virtual interface that can be configured in the 

TIA Portal as of version V16. The virtual interface is called W1 (according to IEC 81346-2).  

Features of the virtual interface 

The virtual interface is not a fully diagnosable interface with the familiar properties of 

conventional interfaces. The virtual interface is not displayed in the graphical views, because 

the internal connection via the backplane bus does not represent an S7 subnet and does not 

have any ports. A physical connection by means of a network cable therefore cannot be 

established.  
The IP address of the virtual interface is displayed (e.g. in the TIA Portal, in the display of the 

CPU) and can be configured. 
The following IP-based services can be used e.g. via the virtual interface W1: 

●

 

OPC UA (client and server) 

●

 

Programmed OUC connections 

●

 

S7 communication (ES/HMI access and instructions for S7 communication such as PUT, 

GET) 

The activated interface can be used in dialogs where IP-based connections are configured.
