ACCON-NETLink-PRO Compact Protocol Converter

ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact enables simple and fast integration of SIMATIC S7-200/300/400 controllers into Ethernet networks. This enables programming, configuration, and SCADA applications such as STEP7, TIA Portal, WinCC or OPC Servers to access multiple automation devices robustly and cost-effectively in parallel. The adapter can be plugged directly into the MPI connector and replaces expensive Communication Processors. The looped-through programming device socket allows retroactive piggyback mounting.

For configuration purposes, ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact can be integrated as a programming device in the familiar STEP7 or TIA Portal development tools. In addition, a web interface is available for basic settings, e.g., the PROFIBUS subscriber address or the IP address. SIMATIC S7-200/300/400 controllers without Ethernet connection can also be connected to SIMATIC S7-1200/-1500 controllers with Ethernet connection via the adapter. ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact can be supplied with power directly via the SIMATIC S7 controller or via the 24VDC connection.
