While the connection between motor and inverter supply is usually straightforward, there are still a number of issues which need to be carefully considered, as this article explains
The latter already incorporates either an analogue modem or an ISDN modem.
External modems such as GSM radio modems are connected to the serial interface.
The Teleservice Adapter II 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 unauthorised 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 24V 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.
