Hi I have a network with three units (Or 3 stages). All of them are accessible for operator (for monitoring and control). Each unit includes plant bus with CP1430 interface card and terminal bus with CP1413 interface card. I attached the scheme of my network in this message. I wanted to speed up my network. This has ASGE2 with 10Mbps speed. I want to raise its speed up to 100Mbps. Replacement with OSM and SCALANCE was suggested. Now, I have some question. Suppose that I speed up one of these units. How will be the access ability for the operator? In other words, Can the operator monitor and control this unit separately? If you have any idea or suggestion about this, Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for helping me. Best Regards. AttachmentNetwork_Scheme.pdf (133 Downloads) |

Hello, first of all you should check the interfaces. The old CP1413 has ONLY an AUI interface on the card. For migration a MINI UTDE is required to connect to Twisted Pair Port. Siemens has phased out his MINI UTDE, but you can use all third party transceiver. Thins MINI UTDE is a small transceiver plugged onto the 15 pin connector of the CP1413. The CP1430 as this transceiver on board, but you must use the right pin out for the cable. Have a look to this manual chapter 6.5 SIMATIC NET Twisted-Pair and Fiber-Optic Networks Inside the ring (terminal or plant bus) you can only mix the electrical connections and only twisted pair.Ifone line has 100 Mbit and the other one 10 Mbit is noproblem. Ethernet has flow control for this situation. |

DearRated X Hi Thank you very much for your useful reply. I had asked another question. What about the operator? Can he operate one unit with 100Mbps and two other unit with 10Mbps synnchronously? On the other hand can I apply this to my network and it will work? Thanks in advance for helping me. Best Regards.
