2 Catalog EasyConnect -Connector, 90 Metalized housing No loosable parts EasyConnect technology Visual connection control Integrated terminating resistor 90 cable outlet Small housing EasyConnect connector The new EasyConnect connector from the Systeme Helmholz GmbH rounds off the range of bus connector products excellently. The new EasyConnect connectors feature quick-connect technology, making the stripping of bus conductors superfluous. The bus connectors are used to connect a node to the line. The connector is quick to install and has a metalized housing and integrated terminating resistors. The Systeme Helmholz GmbH offers the new EasyConnect connector with a perpendicular cable outlet. Correct connection of the cable can quickly be checked visually even after installation.

3 34 Catalog 10 Bus Connector for, 90 Metalized housing No loosable parts Integrated terminating resistor 90 cable outlet Small housing Screw terminals Bus connector for with (l.) and without (r.) prog. device connector The compact design of the bus connectors from the Systeme Helmholz GmbH makes them suitable for use in all Siemens CPU types. A slide switch sets whether the connector will be used as a node or end of segment. The switch can also be operated when the connector is plugged. The switch setting is clearly visible. The connector must be used as a node ( OFF ) when the incoming bus (A1, B1) and the outgoing bus (A2, B2) are to be interconnected. This deactivates the terminating resistors. The connector must be set as a segment end ( ON ) on the first and last (extreme) stations of the segment. In that case the terminating resistors are connected on the incoming bus, the outgoing bus is disconnected.

4 Catalog Bus Connectors for 90 with diagnostic LEDs 3 LEDs status displays Indicates bus operation, station transmitting, terminating resistor inserted Screw terminals Integrated terminating resistors No loosable parts Small housing Bus Connectors for with diagnostic LEDs The diagnostic connector can be used to connect a network in which the user can check the status of the bus system at any time at a glance. The three built-in LEDs with the easily distinguished colors blue, green and orange indicate the most important states of the network at each station. The state of the terminating resistor (orange), whether bus activity is in progress (green) and whether the station addressed is participating in bus traffic (blue) are all indicated. This means errors, such as bus interruptions, missing or incorrectly connected terminating resistors and malfunctioning or failed bus stations can be detected immediately.

The MPI/ multiplexer has a 1.2 m long connecting cable that can be plugged directly into the MPI/ socket of the PLC but also at any position in an MPI or network. The PG socket is the only socket that has the full MPI pin assignment. That makes it possible to use direct operation on this socket via an MPI adapter ( SSW 7 or PC adapter ) with programming software. This pin assignment is not relevant for operation of devices. The MPI/ multiplexer is powered via the connection line to the CPU. If the terminal does not provide 24 V, it is possible to draw the 24 V from an external source. The 24 V connector for this purpose (green connector) is polarized.

18 Catalog 10????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 49 OPC-Server Fast access to S7- and S5 data The S7/S5 OPC server allows you fast and easy access to process data in WinAC, S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, C7- and S5 controllers. Addressing of the variables can be performed completely in STEP7 semantics and can be imported directly from an Excel file or a STEP7 project if required. With each OPC-compliant client application, you can read or write all input/output data, data blocks, flags, timers and counters in the S7-/S5 controllers. You can also access up to 256 controllers at one time. The control program does not have to be adapted for communication with the S7/S5 OPC server. No detailed knowledge of the PLC program that is running is necessary. New functions and expansions On the S7-300 and S7-400 the DATE_AND_TIME and ASCII strings are supported as additional data formats. OPC Client Controls are now contained in the scope of supply of the S7/S5 OPC server as ActiveX components. The S5 syntax for creating items can now be used. Access to array elements has been improved. Integrated Web server The S7/S5 OPC server features an integrated Web server. This is used for diagnosing the OPC server and for providing its own Web pages for operating and monitoring using any standard browser. The architecture and performance of the Web server is designed for small visualization systems. Flexible connection There are many ways of connecting the controllers to the S7/S5 OPC server such as TCP/IP,, MPI, PPI or AS511. For communication, Systeme Helmholz GmbH provides the following devices: SSW7, SSW7-TS, SSW7-USB for MPI NETL ink PRO, NETL ink USB, NETL ink lite for MPI and SSW3, SSW4 and SSW5 for AS511 Also a selection of communication modules of other manufacturers, such as CP243, CP343, and CP443 from Siemens are supported.
