Hi! On slot 125 in the station configuration editor you see the station manager. The station manager manages the communication between all components in the station configuration editor. For example: In your STEP 7 project there is a SIMATIC PC station with a ProTool Pro RT on slot 1 and a WinLC (with a CP5611 connected to a PROFIBUS network) on slot 2. On the PROFIBUS network there are also some other S7 stations. If you have set your PG/PC interface to PC internal and have loaded the configuration of the SIMATIC PC station to your PC a routing table is created in the station manager. This means, if you want to load system data or a S7 program to a S7-PLC on the PROFIBUS network the station manager routes the data from 'PC internal' to the WinLC (because it is connected to PROFIBUS network) and WinLC routes the data via the PROFIBUS network to the destination station. This works with STEP 7 (SIMATIC Manager), and I think this should also work with ProTool Pro (but as I said, I haven't tried this on my own). For more informations on routing see the manual: Configuring Hardware and Communication Connections STEP 7 V5.4 (chapter 11.7 Networking Stations that Represent Network Gateways) |
Greetings, Chris |
