11 Example — PROFINET Communication with OPC

11Example — PROFINET Communication with

OPC

Introduction

This example illustrates how to link an S7-300 programmable controller with a PC station over a PROFINET communications processor.

You will see which tools to use for configuring a PC station and interfacing a PROFINET device. You will also see how symbolic variables of PROFINET are made available in OPC.

Initial Situation

If you want to try out the example yourself, you require the following:

Sa PC

Sa network adapter for Industrial Ethernet

Sthe SIMATIC NET CD 11/2003 software

San S7-300 PLC with a CP 343-1 PN PROFINET communications processor

SIndustrial Ethernet cabling between the PC module and S7 device

For the S7-300, you require a project created with the PROFINET tool “SIMATIC iMap”.

Creating a project engineering configuration with SIMATIC iMap is beyond the scope of this description and is not included.
