3 Preface Industrial production demands in the era of globalization or delocalization are becoming increasingly more complex. Within this context, creating a network of systems, processes and information is critical in order to ensure success in a perpetually competitive environment and guarantee a continuous presence. Thus, the possibility to remotely manage a production system becomes a keystone allowing reduced processing times and costs, subsequently increasing and enhancing the performance of your business. Our objective is to offer a system that complements existing computer technology, offering Clients simple, efficient and secure control solutions. The aims of the Sevio system are: to offer Clients a private, affordable and continuously available network; to relieve Clients of the need to perform complex configurations and subsequent maintenance; to guarantee the highest standards of security; to offer an efficient and timely system during all stages of a project's development. The Sevio solution does not require the installation of any particular software or supplementary hardware. Through the Sevio Portal, a Web application accessible from parameters can be edited remotely, system statuses can be viewed, and much more still. So at this point, happy working! Sevio S.r.l. 3

4 The Sevio system has been designed to offer Clients a solution for the connection of multiple independent and physically dislocated networks, transforming them into numerous Sevio networks. Each Client is the owner of a Realm which is the set of all Sevio networks and Workstations (PC, tablet, smartphone). This document explains how to use the Sevio system based on Siemens Step 7 platform. Index Requirements Use of Sevio system Sevio and the automation devices Preliminary configuration Remote Access Declaration of conformity and warranty For Sevio system functions and characteristics refer to the Sevio User Guide. 4

5 Requirements The fundamental requirements for use of the Sevio system based on Siemens Step 7 platform: the Sevio Router; the Registration Sheet (supplied along with the Sevio Router); a Siemens PLC or HMI with Ethernet connectivity; a PC with an up-to-date web and Step 7 installed; an Internet access. 5

1 Use of Sevio system Control Station 10.254.12.30 Plant A Plant B Sevio Network 10.254.12.x Sevio Network 10.128.71.

while the Sevio network of plant B is 10.128.71.x.

6 1 Use of Sevio system Control Station Plant A Plant B Sevio Network x Sevio Network x IP: IP: IP: IP: IP: IP: Each Sevio Router is distinguished by a specific Sevio network. In the example above, the Sevio network of plant A is x, while the Sevio network of plant B is x. To access the PLC of plant A from the Control Station, it s sufficient to combine the first three bytes of the specific Sevio network with the fourth byte of the PLC address: Sevio Network plant A x PLC address plant A.... Remote PLC address plant A

2 Sevio and the automation devices The Sevio system allows Control Stations to communicate with all devices connected to the various Sevio Routers.

7 2 Sevio and the automation devices The Sevio system allows Control Stations to communicate with all devices connected to the various Sevio Routers. Another exclusive feature of the Sevio system is routing, or rather the possibility for communication between devices connected to different Sevio networks, yet forming part of the same Realm. Realm Plant A Plant B Rete Sevio x Rete Sevio x IP: IP: IP: IP: To use the routing feature, it is required to configure the Sevio Router as the default Gateway IP address into all the network devices that communicate with each other.

2.1 Preliminary configuration The procedure below describes the preliminary configuration of devices that need to be accessible remotely.

Using the Masquerade mode (see chapter Sevio Router Parameters in Sevio User Guide) it is possible to access devices remotely omitting the procedure below.

Start STEP 7 and open hardware configuration of existing project. Go to Device configuration, Properties and set project IP address, for example 192.168.0.109.

8 2.1 Preliminary configuration The procedure below describes the preliminary configuration of devices that need to be accessible remotely. A Sevio Router is sometimes installed in existing systems by personnel that is not qualified to modify the software configuration. Using the Masquerade mode (see chapter Sevio Router Parameters in Sevio User Guide) it is possible to access devices remotely omitting the procedure below. NOTE: that enabling masquerade mode prevents the PLC/HMI device from originating connections to the Sevio Network. Start STEP 7 and open hardware configuration of existing project. Go to Device configuration, Properties and set project IP address, for example Go to the Sevio Router parameters through the Sevio Portal and assign a /24 IP LAN address (see chapter Sevio Router Parameters in Sevio User Guide). Select Use Router and digit LAN IP address assigned of Sevio Router, which in example Proceed with download of hardware configuration, through local connection. 8

2.2 Remote Access Open the existing project on STEP 7, select Program S7 then

Type the remote IP Address: Virtual IP Network:. 10. 255. 254. x Local PLC:.

From this moment on, it is possible to perform all activities online.

9 2.2 Remote Access Open the existing project on STEP 7, select Program S7 then click on Destination system and Access address. Type the remote IP Address: Virtual IP Network: x Local PLC: Remote PLC: Then press OK to confirm. From this moment on, it is possible to perform all activities online. If the current project is saved, the same connection conditions will be used at the next start-up. 9

10 3 Declaration of conformity and warranty Sevio S.r.l. declares that the Sevio Basic device is compliant with the essential requirements and all relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. Sevio S.r.l. declares that the Sevio One device is compliant with the essential requirements and all relevant provisions of Directive 2014/30/EU. Extended Declarations of Conformity may be requested by contacting Every request for replacement under warranty must be sent before the expiry of the 2-year warranty and must be transmitted together with the product that has allegedly presented an anomaly.
