Dear SM, Definitely. You can configure X5 to plant bus. Then you will need to use tcp/ip instead of ISO (mac address) to download. You should be able to ping your plc if you connect X5. Remember, if you would like to use X8 as well, there is a requirement said, X5 and X8 cannot be in the same subnet. There should be two independent island if you would like to use both at the same time. |

Dear SM, Let me translate the configuration into wording. Your ES and OS1 is connected to X5. Then your OS2 is connected to X8. Assuming X5 and X8 also plant bus, OS1 and OS2 cannot communicate or share the same S7 connection. Note: X5 and X8 must be in different subnet. What is the architecture you intend to do ? For me , i will just form a plant bus in X5, connecting ES, OS1 and OS2 together. |

Dear SM, Terminal bus is to download configuration data between ES to OS. It also handled the communication between servers and handled the transmission of data processed by the servers to clients. System bus/plant bus, is to download the configuration data from ES to AS. If you have Batch or Route Control servers, it also used for operating and monitoring of the processes. Lastly, it is used for SIMATIC communications between automation systems. (time sync) For your case, there is no such architecture specify this in PC Configuration, but I do think you can do it. with plant bus 1, your OS1 and ES1 have comm with AS. For plant bus 2, OS2 has comm with AS. Then at Terminal bus (you still need switches), you must connect OS Client with ES, OS1 and OS2. I got no such experience before, you may try it and let us know whether the principle work. Theoretically , it should work. |
