Siemens S7 PLC programmer and communication interface

15 October 2012

We are excited to add a new product to our offering:

The NETLink PRO Compact can be used as a programmer for an S7 PLC and/or as a PC interface. The device is packaged inside a conventional Profibus plug and has a direct Ethernet port connection. The device supports MPI, PPI and Profibus, and automatically detects the correct communication used by the PLC.

Typical uses of the device include:

Programming adaptor to download your Step 7 or PCS7 PLC program.
Connect your PLC to an HMI or visualization via ethernet.
Access PLC data via ethernet, or use OPC using the S7/S7 OPC server (can be purchased with the NETLink PRO).
Remote logging: Access your PLC data over the internet.

Configuration of the NetLink PRO is done via its integrated webpage.
