Details
Overview
The driver implements Ethernet S7comm (S7 Communication) - Siemens proprietary protocol that runs between programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It is used for PLC programming, exchanging data between PLCs, accessing PLC data from SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems and diagnostic purposes.
The protocol is also used on top of other physical/network layers, like RS-485 with MPI (Multi-Point-Interface) or Profibus. However, Ethernet has several advantages against Profibus/Mpi:
- It’s faster, CP 1543-1 (for the newborn S71500) has a bandwidth of 1000 Mbps
- It’s simpler to troubleshoot, in 50% of cases a “ping” is good enough to solve your problems
- It’s cheaper, you don’t need special adapter to communicate
