MIG.MAD Posts: 2 Rating: (1)	We need to know the maximum OPC connections that could be possible make with WINAC RTX 2005. In the manual appears, page 128 (page 136 in pdf file, Entry ID:22155321 ) : CP 5611 and built-in PROFIBUS CP 5613: 50 Industrial Ethernet: 8 Total for all sub modules: 64, But one customer hast test it and they say that in Ethernet they have more than appears in the manual, but appears a message, "Simatic net key required". Do you know the real maximum number of connections that could be made? Best regards and thank you for your help.

The total number of S7 connections between the WinLC and a SIMATIC NET OPC server on the same PC is theoretically 64, but in real life you only need one or two. Using Ethernet communication with WinLC you can configure up to 8 S7 connections per ethernet card you use (and up to 64 S7 connections, if you had 8 ethernet cards [;)]). If you read/write data via the SIMATIC NET OPC server from a WinLC (on the same PC!) you don't need a special license for SIMATIC NET. In your case you want to access data with the SIMATIC NET OPC server from a PLC (this could be a WinLC or any other S7 PLC) via Ethernet. In this case you need a license for the S7 communication via Ethernet on every PC that is performing the S7 communication (e.g. the PC with the OPC server and the PC with the WinLC = 2 licenses). If you use the CP 1612 or an integrated etherned card, you need the SIMATIC NET IE SOFTNET-S7, order no. 6GK1704-1CW63-3AA0 (up to 64 connections) or SIMATIC NET IE SOFTNET-S7 LEAN, order no. 6GK1704-1LW63-3AA0 (up to 8 connections) If you use a CP 1613, you need the SIMATIC NET IE S7-1613, order no. 6GK1716-1CB63-3AA0 (up to 120 connections) For more informations on SIMATIC NET SOFTNET see the A&D Mall
