Getting Started Quickly with the I/O Server

This section briefly describes the components and procedures required to prepare the

Wonderware Siemens SIMATIC NET S7 I/O Server for use. Detailed descriptions can

be found in the manuals provided by Siemens and sections of this user's guide.

Required Hardware and Software

Wonderware Siemens SIMATIC NET S7 I/O Server was originally designed to work

with a Siemens’ communication processor card (also referred to as an adapter card or a

CP) called the CP1413. In earlier versions of the user’s guide, detailed instructions for

the installation and configuration of the Siemens hardware and software were included.

However, Siemens now offers other adapter cards and software packages that increase

the number of CP options. The complexity of describing installation of the adapter

cards, configuration of the Siemens software, and support of multiple operating systems,

has forced us to remove the Siemens specific instructions. Refer to instructions included

with the Siemens supplied driver software and card configuration tools for details.

Additional documents are available in Technical Notes and articles on the

Comprehensive Support CD and Web Site.

The following table shows the supported adapter cards and the needed software

component from the SIMATIC NET Setup:

Software Component PC Adapter Card

PROFIBUS Softnet S7 CP5411, CP5511, CP5611, MPI Board

PROFIBUS S7-5412 CP5412A2

PROFIBUS S7-5613 CP5613

Industrial Ethernet S7-1413 CP1413

Industrial Ethernet S7-1613 CP1613

Industrial Ethernet SOFTNET-S7 BASIC/EXTENDED CP1411, CP1511, 3COM Network Adapter

Note The Siemens S7 server was specifically designed and tested against adapter cards

CP5411, CP5412A2, CP5613, CP1413, CP1613, and 3Com Network Adapter, but other

cards listed above may be compatible.

Required Driver Configuration

Siemens driver configuration is required at both ends of the PLC communication link.

The PC with its CP card(s) and one or more PLCs with their CP cards must all be

configured to work together before operating the server.

The Siemens adapter cards and drivers on an NT operating system are easy to install and

configure. The PLCs are more difficult to install and configure. Please refer to the

instructions included with the Siemens supplied driver software and card configuration

tools.

The server can be run to generate server (also called topic) configuration files without

any cards or drivers installed. This is not recommended as it eliminates most of the

server’s ability to detect configuration errors.
