Siemens Communication blocks
Overview
The WirelessHART communication blocks implement the communication between S7/PCS 7 automation systems and WirelessHART field devices. They communicate via the IE/WSN-PA Link using the Modbus TCP/IP protocol. Configuration is made easy by virtue of prefabricated communication building blocks. Symbols and face plates are included in the delivery for use with WinCC.
Benefits
A library, which can be installed, offers pre-fabricated blocks and hence an easy way to integrate WirelessHART devices into the SIMATIC automation world.
Simple configuration thanks to:
- Prefabricated function blocks for IE/WSN-PA Link and WirelessHART devices
- SIMATIC PCS 7 OS or SIMATIC WinCC symbols and face plates are included
- Planning help for IE/WSN-PA Link in line with function blocks
- Output of quality codes for respective process values
- Analysis of IE/WSN-PA Link diagnostic information
Application
WirelessHART communication blocks are used where SIMATIC automation systems communicate with WirelessHART devices via the IE/WSN-PA Link gateway.
