Hitech HMI PWS6600-S7200 PLC Communication Cable

Description

The Hitech HMI PWS6600-S7200 PLC Communication Cable is used to connect a Hitech PWS6600 HMI to a Siemens S7-200 PLC for communication. This cable facilitates real-time data exchange between the HMI and the PLC, allowing the HMI to monitor and control the processes managed by the PLC. If you need PWS6600-S7200 PLC Communication Cable you can contact BAT Power Solution.

Key Features Hitech HMI PWS6600-S7200 PLC Communication Cable

• RS232/RS485 Communication: The HMI typically communicates using RS232 or RS485, while the Siemens S7-200 PLC uses RS485 or PPI protocol for data exchange.
• Data Transfer: The cable enables the transmission of data such as I/O statuses, alarms, and system controls between the HMI and PLC.

Cable Specifications

1. HMI End (PWS6600):
   • The cable connects to the RS232 or RS485 port on the Hitech PWS6600 series HMI. The port type will depend on the communication standard used by the specific HMI model.
2. PLC End (Siemens S7-200):
   • The cable connects to the RS485/PPI port on the Siemens S7-200 PLC. This typically involves a 9-pin D-sub connector or a direct connection to the communication port on the PLC.
3. Communication Protocol:
   • The HMI communicates with the Siemens S7-200 using the PPI (Point-to-Point Interface) protocol, which is standard for Siemens S7-200 PLCs.

Connection Setup Hitech HMI PWS6600-S7200 PLC Communication Cable

1. Connect the cable between the Hitech PWS6600 HMI and the Siemens S7-200 PLC.
2. Configure the communication parameters in the HMI’s software to match the Siemens S7-200 PLC settings. These parameters include baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits.
   • For Siemens S7-200, the typical baud rate for PPI communication is 9600 bps or 19200 bps.
3. Use the appropriate HMI configuration software (like ADP ) to set up communication with the PLC.
4. Test communication by creating a simple screen on the HMI to display data or control the Siemens S7-200 PLC.

Software Configuration 

• HMI Software: Use ADP to configure the PWS6600 HMI.
• PLC Programming: Siemens S7-200 can be configured using STEP 7 Micro/Win.

Pinout Configuration

• Ensure the cable uses the correct pinout for RS485 communication on both the PWS6600 HMI and the S7-200 PLC. The pinout varies depending on whether the communication is RS232 or RS485.

RS232 Pinout Example (for some HMI models):

• Pin 2: TXD (Transmit Data)
• Pin 3: RXD (Receive Data)
• Pin 5: GND (Ground)

RS485 Pinout Example (for PPI communication):

• Pin 3: A (Data+)
• Pin 8: B (Data-)

Supported Devices 

• Hitech PWS6600 Series HMI:
  • This includes models like PWS6600S, PWS6600T, PWS6600C, and similar variants.
• Siemens S7-200 Series PLC:
  • Models such as CPU 212, CPU 214, CPU 215, CPU 216, and other Siemens S7-200 PLCs.

Important Considerations Hitech HMI PWS6600-S7200 PLC Communication Cable

• The communication parameters (baud rate, parity, etc.) set in the HMI configuration software must match the settings on the Siemens S7-200 PLC.
• Make sure the cable is compatible with both the HMI and the PLC in terms of communication protocol and physical connection type.
• Firmware compatibility should be confirmed between the HMI and PLC to ensure seamless communication.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• If the connection doesn’t work, verify that the baud rate and protocol settings on both devices match.
• Ensure the cable is properly connected to both devices, and that there are no loose connections.
• Double-check the pinout configuration to make sure the communication lines are connected correctly for RS232 or RS485.
