Hi,
Does anyone know how to setup the Siemens OPC Server incluided in Simatic Net package to get a communication to PLCs S5 using Industrial Ethernet (H1 protocol)?.
I already know that we can use other OPC brands (e.g. Matrikon, Applicom, etc) but our customer wants to use Siemens OPC Server due to it was already bought and used to communicate to other S7 PLCs (in other words, my customer doesn't want to buy anything else).
We have tried to configure or (at least) read/find something about creating some H1 link to S5 PLCs in Simatic Net (OPC) but it seems that it isn't supported easily.
My customer uses CP-143 and CP-1430 in 9-10 S5 PLCs. Does anyone have any idea to get it without replacing the CP cards and H1 protocol?.
Thanks in advance.
Adrian
