TTI Protocol Converter

MPI to TCP/IP Conversion

Online Connection (PLC <  >PC)  

MPI / Profibus DP / PPI / Ethernet Gateway

 

 Do you want to conect your S7 200, S7 300 or S7 400 to Ethernet TCP/IP?  The solution from the Original Equipment Manufacturer of the PLC is to intall a CP  / Communication processor, the expensive solution. Our solution is to use a MPI / TCP/IP TTI Protocol Converter powered by 24 volts from the MPI/Profibus connection  The TTI Protocol Converter is installed in a Sub D connector and contains a complete field bus master with a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface. It is connected to a hub or switch via a 3-meter long Ethernet cable or to your PC network card via a Crossover cable. As the protocol is standard TCP/IP, you can control your system using VPN or a router as well as an Internet connection. With the TTI Protocol Converter, online functions are possible via Profibus DP with up to 12 Mbit/s or via PPI/MPI. The TTI Protocol Converter is a very cost effective network solution because you do not need CPs from Siemens or the Simatic Net software. The drivers for Simatic MicroWin® ,Step7, WinCC, Protool and S7 for Windows are on the CD supplied with your TTI Protocol Converter. We also have an OPC Server available to connect your visualization programs with the PLC via the TTI Protocol Converter. The driver enables you to gain direct access to variables via standard programming languages such as Visual Basic or Delphi. The configuration of the adapter is very easy and normally done in a few minutes. The TTI Protocol Converter automatically detects, whether its connected to a 10 or 100Mbit/s network.
