Cable And Adapter Manual 1.1 Description

The MPI – LAN cable connects the computer with a MPI- or a Profibus-interface (PLC) by using a TCP/IP network. 1.2 System Requirements Computer: Supported Operating Systems: Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP Software

PLC – programming software (e.g. PG2000). PLC - VCom software (see chapter 4.0) Hardware

Network card 10/100MBit installed in the computer.

The network card must provide a RJ – 45 interface. Older network card types are often using BNC interfaces.




1.3 Connection Possibilities MPI – LAN directly connected to the computer.



MPI – LAN connected with the computer using a switch or hub.

Cable And Adapter Manual 1.4 Installation Hardware Connect the MPI – LAN cable (short side) with the MPI interface (9 pins) of the S7 - PLC. The network connector from the long side of the cable (RJ – 45) should be connected as described: MPI – LAN cable to computer: Connect the network connector from the MPI cable to the network card interface (RJ – 45) of your computer. MPI – LAN cable to switch/hub: Connect the network connector of the MPI cable to the uplink port of your switch/hub. If you are using an auto-negotiated switch you can put the network connector into a free port of your choice. The PLC supports the cable with power. The cable provides an alternative power supply interface which can be connected by a 24V adapter. As soon as the cable is supported with power it shows its software version on the display and begins to test its internal components. Software To communicate with the PLC, please install the PLC-VCom software, as described in chapter 4.2. You also need a programming software (e.g. PG 2000) to work with the PLC.

Cable And Adapter Manual The PLC – VCom software package includes the MPI – LAN and the S5 – LAN Manager. Both are offering you a comfortable way to manage the IP – addresses from your cables/modules. 4.4 MPI – LAN Manager On start up the manager searches automatically for all network cables. Mark an entry with a click blue. With a press on “search“ you are sending a broadcast to all cables that are connected with your network. Every responding cable will be added to the list.

Cable And Adapter Manual 4.5 S5 – LAN Manager This list contains all available modules. The program does not search for them on start up so you must press “Suche im lokalem Netz“ or “Suche bestimmte Adresse“. Every entry can be marked blue with a click. With a click the button “Suche im lokalem Netz“ you are sending an broadcast to all modules that are connected with your network. Every module that responds will be added to the list. If you already know the IP – address of your S5 – LAN module click “Suche bestimmte Adresse“. In the next dialog type in the IP – address and search for it by pressing “search” (as shown in the picture below).

Cable And Adapter Manual Gerätename The device name can be a text of your choice. It identifies your module. S5-PG-Port TCP/IP – Port number. This port controls the communication between S5 and PD. This must not be changed at all. S5-Server-Port TCP/IP – Port number. This port controls the S5-LAN-LINK protocol/VIPA – protocol. DHCP/AutoIP If this box is active the module searches on start up a DHCP – Server. If no server can be found after 3 tries (can take some seconds), the module searches for an IP – address of the „Auto-IP“ address range. auto Subnet If active, the module is calculating the subnet – mask automatically. For example the valid subnet – mask for 192.168.0.80 is 255.255.255.0. In this case the dialog element Subnet – Mask can be empty. IP-Adresse The IP – address can be typed in here. (If “DHCP/AutoIP” is not active). Subnetz-Maske Here you can change the subnet – mask. If you enter 0.0.0.0 the „auto Subnet“ – routine is used. Default-Gateway The IP – address of the router (if you are using the LAN – module on a router). Press “Firmwaredatei laden“ to load a (*.bin) file which is a operating system for the S5 LAN module. Dateipfad, Version and Datum will be shown in the 4 Firmwareinfo section. If you have problems with your S5 – LAN operating system, click the button “Firmwaredatei senden“ to send a firmware file loaded as described in Point 4 to the module. The module updates it is operation system

automatically. NOTICE: Only update the S5 LAN operating system if there are problems with the old one.

While sending the firmware file to the module do not disconnect the module from the power supply or the network. Doing so will cause a crash and there will be the danger that the module will not work correct.

Take care that the IP – address of your cable/module (does not matter which LAN - device) is corresponding with the IP – address of your computer and is

only given for the specified device. If you are not sure which IP – address to use ask your network administrator.



5.0 Troubleshooting 5.1 Frequently Asked Questions Q: When connecting to a cable this error message appears. Why?

A: The meaning of this error message is that the subnet mask (defined by your computer) defines a too small area for use. The IP address from your computer uses an bigger area than defined by the subnet mask. In fact that the subnet mask masks this IP address out, the cable cannot be recognized. There are two ways for solving this problem: 1. Solution: Change the IP address from your computer so that it is in the area defined by the subnet mask. To make this example connectable we had to change the IP address of the computer to 192.168.001.100. 2. Solution: Alternatively you can rearrange the defined area of the subnet mask, so that the IP address from your computer can be recognized by the cable. In this example we need to change the subnet mask to 255.255.252.000 (the 002 of the computer IP address is meaningful, because the 2 is binary 10, so the subnet mask masks this IP out because of 255. To correct this mistake we have to rearrange the area of the subnet mask by changing the second value of the right to 252. Binary this is 11111100 (you remember the 002 (binary 10) ). With this subnet mask active we arranged the valid IP address area from 192.168.000.XXX to 192.168.003.XXX.
