XCNet-PN-S is a high-performance protocol conversion gateway, designed to meet the increasing informatization requirements of factory equipment (equipment network monitoring and production management), and is used for Siemens PLCs with Ethernet interfaces (S7-1200/ 1500, S7-300PN, S7200 SMART, etc.), Siemens Ethernet module (CP243-1, CP343-1, etc.) Ethernet data acquisition, very convenient to build a production management system. The module integrates WiFi function, supports AP mode, STA mode and AP+STA mode, which is very convenient to build WiFi network, PLC programming, data acquisition, data exchange and cross-network segment access directly through WiFi.
The LAN1/LAN2/WiFi of XCNet-PN-S has the function of cross-network segment, which can convert the S7TCP protocol of the LAN1 port into the ModbusTCP protocol and BCNetS7 protocol of the LAN2/WiFi interface, and the LAN2/WiFi supports the ModbusTCP master-slave communication function.
XCNet-PN-S function
- Installed on a 35mm guide rail, LAN1 is a four-port RJ45 with switch function, and this port is connected to PLC; LAN2 is a single-port RJ45, which can be connected to a touch screen or a host computer system; WiFi external high-gain antenna can be connected to the host computer ; XCNet external 24VDC power supply.
- Integrated WiFi function, support AP mode, STA mode and AP+STA mode.
- PLC programming, data acquisition, data exchange and cross-network segment access can be performed through WiFi.
- Integrate a WEB server, which can set device parameters and run diagnosis through the web page; it can also be configured through the BCDevice tool; it can be configured arbitrarily from the LAN1/LAN2 interface or WiFi.
- Implement NAT function, the module can be configured with 4 groups of forwarding ports, each group of forwarding ports can have multiple TCP or UDP connections;
- The SmartIE series touch screen can be connected to PLCs such as S7-1200 and S7-1500.
- The LAN2/WiFi interface can support the ModbusTCP server function, and the PLC connected by the LAN1 port can be mapped to the ModbusTCP server of the LAN2/WiFi interface.
- The LAN2/WiFi interface can realize TCP client, based on ModbusTCP or S7TCP protocol, realize data exchange between PLCs, and ModbusTCP instrument data reading.
- The LAN2/WiFi interface can support the BCNetS7 protocol server function, which can map the PLC connected to the LAN1 port into the BCNetS7 protocol server of the LAN2/WiFi interface.
- The LAN2/WiFi interface can support up to 32 host computer access.
- SCADA (upper configuration software) supporting OPC channel communicates with PLC in OPC mode.
- Support firmware update on the user side through Ethernet, one purchase, permanent upgrade.
