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.

Import Export of translations and variables in CSV format


This function allows variables and translations to be exported into files that can easily be edited using Excel or a text-editor. Once edited, the file can be re-imported and VTWIN will automatically associate the translations, while the variables will be immediately available to be used to create new project components.

A single configuration software for all products


All that is necessary to program the VT terminals is to learn to use the software: Its both simple and intuitive and with just a few clicks a project can be defined and transferred to a terminal.

Importing variables from STEP 7


The (symbolic) variables created in Siemens STEP 7 software can simply be exported from a STEP 7 project and then important into a VTWIN project. This makes it possible to define the variables only in the PLC project and then use them in VTWIN without any need for re-definition, thus saving time and avoiding possible transcription errors.

Import

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.

MPI Modem Modem TS Adapter

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.

23

Flexibility
- Provides complete visibility of the memory in the connected device - Compatible with many field bus systems: Profibus-DP (up to 127 terminals with one master), Interbus-S, CAN - Integrated Ethernet 10/100

Modem
- Projects, recipes and firmware can all be transferred via modem providing remote application development and maintenance capability

A wealth of drivers

- Covers 90% of the PLC market as well as other devices such as drives, inverters and temperature controllers, etc.

Parallel port
- Standard printers are supported

Certifications and Compliance standards


- CE, cULus on all models - RINA available on some models

Customizable
- Logos and front overlays can be customized

Exportability
- Printed reports - Files for translation

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
