* Why using this driver?

This driver installs new Interface Parameter Assignments of the type ACCON-NetLink and ACCON-TeleService.  These parameter settings are then eligible in the control panel applet "Set PG/PC Interface".
- "ACCON-NetLink-PRO.[MPI/PPI/PROFIBUS]" is used with adapter ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact and adapter ACCON-NetLink-WLAN.
- "ACCON-NetLink-USB.[MPI/PPI/PROFIBUS]" is used with ACCON-NetLink-USB compact.
- "ACCON-TeleService IE.TCPIP" must be registered in order to use it fully. Without registration this interface runs as 10 full days as demo.

* Preconditions

Operating system: Successfully tested on Windows XP/2003R2/7/2008R2/8.1/2012 R2/10.
Control Panel Item: "Set PG/PC Interface" in the Windows Control Panel
Tested with: Siemens TIA Portal V13 SP1 Update 1 to Update 6, Siemens TIA Portal V14 Update 2, SIMATIC Manager Version 5.6

* Installation

Exit all programmes which communicate with the PLC (including Siemens SIMATIC Manager und Siemens TIA Portal). Close the control panel applet "Set PG/PC Interface" if open. Start the installation program SetupAcconS7Net.exe now. After the successful completion of the installation program restart Windows. After setting the parameters the driver can be used immediately. Now the list Interface Parameter Assignment should include new entries ("ACCON-NetLink-PRO.[MPI/PPI/PROFIBUS]", "ACCON-NetLink-USB.[MPI/PPI/PROFIBUS]"). "ACCON-TeleService IE.TCPIP" is a single entry.

* Additional driver for ACCON-NetLink-USB compact

In order to use an ACCON-NetLink-USB compact the accompanying USB driver must be installed in addition. Under Windows 7 or higher the installation starts automatically if the adaptor is plugged in the first time. Under Windows XP on plugin the operation system asks for the drivers for the new device. Simply indicate the folder where the files of the USB driver are located. Typically, this is your CD drive or the folder "C:\Programme\DELTALOGIC\ACCON-S7-Net\USBDriver".

* Functionality

This driver fits in smoothly into the Siemens hierarchy of interfaces. The driver therefore can be used just as simply as a PC adapter.

* Parameterization

The parameterization of the supported adapters can be done with the setting dialogs in the control panel applet "Set PG/PC Interface" (even when using the TIA Portal).
Pleae open "Set PG/PC Interface" in the Windows Control Panel. Select the desired interface. With the "Properties" button you can change the parameters of the interface.

ACCON-NetLink-PRO compact : The IP address of the adapter is necessary. Please add a new station in the properties dialog of the interface .
ACCON-NetLink-USB : Please select the used bus parameters in the properties dialog of the interface.
ACCON-TeleService : A IP or port mapping declaration is necessary. To do this, add a new station in the properties dialog of the interface.

* Display the help

In Windows 7, 2008R2, 8.1 and 10, the program WinHlp32.exe must be installed separately, to display the help. Instructions and a download option can be found in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607/en.

* De-installation

To uninstall the driver, you proceed as follows:

1. Exit all programmes which communicate with the PLC.
2. Open the system control via Start > Settings > Control panel.
3. Double-click in the control panel on the symbol "software" now. The dialog window "Software" is displayed.
4. Select the entry "ACCON-S7-NET" in the list of the installed programmes.
5. Click on the button "add/remove" for starting the deinstallation programme and follow the instructions.
6. Restart Windows

* In case it does not work

Please check first whether the adapter settings are correct. Is the correct IP address assigned? Are the bus parameters set correctly in the device or at the interface? Is the own MPI address not used by another device?
If these actions remain unsuccessful, we like to ask you to take notes of the exact error message/the unsuccessful action, the version of the Siemens software and the driver as well as additional information about the PC and the operating system. Please send these notes to our support dept. or give us a call (see below for telephone/fax number or email address).
