Original Press Release:
Remote Servicing of Machines and Plants all Over the World
The new Teleservice Adapter II from Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D) supports the economical servicing of machines and plants from a remote location. With the compact 40 millimeter format of a Simatic-S7-300 module, the Adapter is simply mounted on a DIN rail or S7 channel, for instance in the control cabinet next to a controller. The latter already incorporates either an analog modem or an ISDN modem. External modems such as GSM radio modems are connected to the serial interface. The new product reduces expensive on-site service calls, particularly for export-oriented plant and machine constructors. Diagnostics can be performed, values set and programs and data transferred over the telephone lines from anywhere in the world. Safety precautions provide protection against unauthorized access to the plant.
The Teleservice Adapter is linked to a Simatic programmable controller, for example to a Simatic S7, over MPI, PPI or Profibus-DP interface. All devices in the automation network, for example the nodes interfaced to Ethernet/Profinet, are reached for teleservicing via this controller. The Teleservice Adapter is assigned parameters and programmed over the USB interface, with power coming from the MPI interface or a 24 volt external source. The devices can also be programmed over the USB interface. The new version of the Simatic Teleservice software, V6.0, is used to interface the programming device to a plant as well as to manage remote connections to several plants.
