I wonder if I can use the SI1 port (programmable port) to communicate with WinCC. I know there is a WinCC driver called"SIMATIC S5 Programmers Port AS511", but I really don't know if this match what I want to do... I mean, is this the SI1 port? Thanks.

ArmandBaule Posts: 19 Rating: (0)	Sorry to bother you again. Do you know what kind of specific hardware I need to look at? I found on another topic a reference to a TTY -> RS232 converter. Is it what I need as well? Thanks

The Siemens part number (and link) for it is: 6ES5734-1BD20 Have a look too at the the following two FAQ's: How is the connection between a Windows-based panel and a SIMATIC S5 set up?(it refers to MHI Panels, but is also applicable for PC based WinCC) Why does the online mode not work with the S5-PC converter TTY - RS 232? I hope this helps

ArmandBaule Posts: 19 Rating: (0)	Yes it is very helpful. If I got this converter "6ES5 734-1BD20" with the adapter to setup the communication, is it necessary to make any additional wiring like the 5V related topic you indicated to me? And do I need to do any modification of the S5 program to get the values from the PLC? I mean programming a job? Or can I get the values directly? Thank you very much for your great support.

Simple answer again: NO (you have a 928B CPU which provides the 5V and islisted in THIS FAQ). ArmandBaule And do I need to do any modification of the S5 program to get the values from the PLC? I mean programming a job? Or can I get the values directly? No need for any S5 code development, you will get the values directly. I hope this helps
