Is there any specific software or hardware in order to integrate two (02) schneider PLCs PREMIUM to an existing ethertnet Wincc-s7 300 six (06) plcs Scada network.

Hello;
Schneider's version of Ethernet comms is Modbus over TCP. This is very different from the Industrial Ethernet protocol used by WinCC and S7 PLCs.

WinCC has a modbus channel, but it works only on RS-232; I suggest use a converter to connect the Premium's Ethernet network to the serial port of the WinCC computer. Use the WinCC to transfer data to and from the S7 PLCs if needed.

Hope this helps,
Daniel Chartier

Hi, I aggree with Daniel. The way to go is to use a converter (Gateway).
Go to: http://www.anybus.com/
They have different gateways depending on the amount of data that you need to transfer and which protocols that you intend to use.

You can use TCPOpen. We developed a link between a Premium and S7 over ethernet using the TCP/Open utility on PL7, you should be able to do it on Unity too now.
