Advantages
MPI and ETHERNET download
The project, firmware, recipes etc. can be transferred using the connection with the Ethernet or MPI network, thereby making the connection simpler and faster. The advantages of this kind of transfer are: - Rapid transfer (up to 187,5 kbit/s) - The MPI network terminals do not need to be disconnected - Automatic entry into download mode (operator need do nothing)
Ethernet
Export
CSV
Import 32 project languages
Projects can be created containing 32 languages (including Asian, Cyrillic, Greek etc. characters) and different sets to be transferred can be defined according to the nature of the application.

STEP 7
Separate downloader
When an operator terminal is installed for a customer, it may require a modification of the project. If the customer is a long way from where the project is developed, there may be difficulties in updating the application. Using the separate download function you can create a set of diskettes or a file folder containing all the changes made that can then be sent via email, floppy, etc. Without needing to have or know VTWIN, the files will be installed and, using a menu accompanied by a full step-by-step video guide, it will be possible to update the operator terminal.
Teleservice
With the Siemens Teleservice pack available and with the benefit of this new function implemented on VTWIN, it will be possible to give the customer assistance at a distance. Thus all the update functions of the terminal connected to the MPI network can be easily carried out using the office terminal.

MPI
ESA-Net
MPI port
You can communicate with MPI devices (e.g. Siemens S7/300-400) without using a special adapter. Variables can be imported from STEP 7 software.
ESA-Network
All products contain ESA-Net: up to 32 terminals can be interconnected without additional hardware. Any terminal can read information and capture data from any PLC or other device connected via the network.
ASP
Field buses
- Profibus-DP at 12 Mbit/s Up to 127 terminals can be connected to a single master, via an integrated port or an external adapter - Interbus-S at 500 Kbit/s Up to 127 terminals can be connected to a single master via a 500 Kbit/s external adapter - CAN Choice of integrated port or external adapter. Full potential can be exploited via customized protocols - Modbus RTU Master and Slave
MSP
Double Driver
Two devices can be simultaneously connected and exchange data without adapters using the terminals two serial ports.
Ethernet
- Integrated 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port that can be used to load protocols based on TCP/IP such as Modbus TCP
