Hello all,

I intend to buy a Siemens Simatic HMI TP900 comfort 6AV2124-0JC01-0AX0 and use it together with an Allen-Bradley PLC Micrologix 1100, 1763-L16BBB.

Communication shall be using Ethernet.

Is it possible?

Do you see any problem in this?

Thank you,

Rares

 Hello,

Yes it is possible.

Please revise the section of "process coupling" in the following link:

Hey raresoc,

here you can find the Information which PLCs are supported and how to realize the communication:

• Manual
• How do you optimize performance when connecting a controller of the Allen-Bradley "SLC 5/05" or "MicroLogix" type to a SIMATIC Comfort Panel or the WinCC (TIA Portal) Advanced Runtime?
• Communication between SIMATIC S7 and Allen-Bradley ControlLogix CPUs via Ethernet: Use of "Echochange" Gateways
• Connection of SIMATIC components with Allen-Bradley/Rockwell components

Hello raresoc:

The following document simply states that the TP 900 supports Ethernet/IP communications. Use the Online help in your WinCC Comfort to find out details on how to implement thhe link:
