INTERBUS controller boards for Siemens SIMATIC S5 controllers
SIMATIC S5-115U through to 155U PLCs can be connected to INTERBUS by means of the IBS S5 DSC/I-T controller board.
The controller board is connected to the controller via the SIMATIC I/O bus. It functions as a system I/O card with a variable address area so that the data of the INTERBUS input and output cards can be accessed directly using the periphery (L PW, T PW, ...) or indirectly using the process image (A I, S Q, ..).
The INTERBUS system is activated automatically at power on or through the application. For this option, a system-specific parameter assignment for the INTERBUS system and controller board is stored centrally in a pluggable parameterization memory on the controller board.
The user-friendly IBS CMD SWT INTERBUS software for the Windows operating system is available for creating the parameter data. In addition to parameterization, configuration and system documentation, IBS CMD SWT, as universal software, also makes possible the diagnostics of individual devices and the entire INTERBUS system. Furthermore, the local status of the connected INTERBUS devices can be displayed while the system is in operation.
The following range of functions supplements this high-performance controller board:
- Process data preprocessing (to IEC-1131)
- Synchronous operating modes
- Parameterization of alternative and changing bus segments
- Parameterization using CMD
- Startup using "Plug & Play" technology
The IBS S5 DSC controller board offers a user-oriented LC display for visualizing the extensive INTERBUS system diagnostic capabilities. Operational and error states are shown on this display in plain text format. The direct display of messages helps reduce startup and downtimes, increasing the reliability of your systems.
