Any CP (PCI card) that can connect to Sinec H1 Bus?

My customer is having the old type Sinec H1 bus (not ethernet) network. Is there any CP card (PCI type) that can communicate with this bus?

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Andrew,

I know some... for example:

SIMENS CP 1613

3COM COMBO 3C905 B

DLINK DFE-530TX

a.s.o.

Thanks for your reply.

Can CP1613 and the 3Com card connected to the Sinec H1 bus via the existing cable, which has a 15 pin D type connector? Besides, can Simatic Net drivers support this 3COM NIC?

Hi,

as far as I know have both cards an AUI interface, therefore they can be connected the MAU Interface of an Transceiver or HUB.

The SIMATIC NET drivers support the Send / Receive Interface over ISO Transport or ISO on TCP Protocol, that are supported by CP 1430 or CP 1430 TCP.

Hi.

Currently, there are few Coros connected to this bus. I plan to repalce one of the coros with a new PC which runs on WinXP, CP1613 and WinCC. All existing communication cables will be retained.

Any modification/configuration required on the existing PLCs?

Besides, can I run both WinCC and Coros on the same Sinec H1 network?

Thanks.

Regards

Do you know what Protocol is running on the used H1 Bus with Coros?
