S7-LAN++

Ethernet for the SIMATIC S7. Plug in. Connect. Done.

S7-LAN++ product image
Retrofitting for the SIMATIC S7: Simple, fast and without changing the software and hardware configuration directly to the Ethernet. Plugged onto the PPI, MPI bus or PROFIBUS, the interface becomes an Ethernet connection and the S7 becomes another participant in the Industrial IoT.

How to use

Network a SIMATIC S7 even without an Ethernet CP and without changing the hardware and software configuration. Unpack. Plug on. Connect. Retrofit. Secure. By supporting S7 TCP/IP with PUT/GET, the "old things" can be quickly integrated into the network of the "new things" even without CP.

Product image of the S7-LAN.

Plugged onto the PPI, MPI bus or PROFIBUS, it becomes an Ethernet port for the Industrial IoT. At the same time, the bus is not simply "burnt out", but becomes a "multi-bus" for all supported protocols via the integrated multiplexer. While these can be operated simultaneously in parallel, the S7 data can be accessed via WinCC, Step7, TIA Portal, an S7 PLC (PUT/GET), a SIMATIC S7 SDK and with other S7 TCP/IP software drivers.
