PC, then choose this serial port in the local connection of STEP7 software ,like you use the traditional PC Adapter. Notice:The COM port of local connection in the “set PG/PC interface” menu of Siemens programming software STEP7 can most support COM8, even though it can display above COM8, in fact it can’t use.
Serial Port software Manual. Here the serial port parameters setting of ETH Adapter CN is introduced. The baud rate of ETH Adapter CN serial port supports 9600~115200bps,but Siemens STEP7 software only supports 19200bps and 38400bps two baud rate.The other serial port parameters of STEP7 is fixed as data bit=8 bits, Parity= Odd parity,stop bit=1 bit, abbreviation as 8O1,so you must set the serial port parameters of ETH Adapter CN is the same as this,or else it can’t build...
ETH Adapter CN is very flexible and diverse, not limited to examples described below. You can use the ETH Adapter CN to connect the S7-300/400PLC to the Ethernet.It can also be achieved the worldwide data communication through the Internet, or wireless data communication through wireless LAN, 3G network card, 3G router.
The ETH Adapter CN communication in the LAN needs to ensure that PC, ETH Adapter CN and routers have the same gateway, The gateway: 192.168.1.1, the computer IP address: 192.168.1.108, ETH Adapter CN IP address: 192.168.1.250 in the following examples. Of course you also could not use router,and use RJ45 cable to connect the ETH Adapter CN and computer directly.

The setting of ETH Adapter CN serial port parameters is omitted here, you can see the previous description. Set ETH Adapter CN working mode as TCP Server, port No. = 27011, waiting for clients to connect. Run the VCOMM virtual serial port software on the PC, set the simulated virtual serial port on the PC.
Click OK and exit the software and re-run VCOMM, the client side VCOMM will take the initiative to connect the server ETH Adapter CN with IP address 192.168.1.250, port number 27011, it will create a new serial port COM3 after establishing the connection, and it will appear in the Device Manager of the Windows system, then you choose this serial port in your application software, such as STEP7.

Run the VCOMM virtual serial port software on the PC, set the simulated virtual serial port on the PC. Select VCOMM as Server mode, wait for the client to connect. Choose the device detector to create the virtual serial port. Add a new virtual serial port, the monitoring IP address = PC IP address, client mode device try to connect the port = VCOMM software port, this is 8000.
Of course you can use ETH Adapter CN to simulate each PLC as a COM port on the PC in order to achieve the data communication and monitoring operation between PC and multiple PLC s 8. Remote communication in the internet ETH Adapter CN can achieve the worldwide remote communication through the Internet, it will use the external network IP address of the router, the router external network address is different when the router is started every time, because the router will be randomly assigned to one...
The most economical way to achieve the remote communication in the Internet between the PC and S7-300/400PLC is that set the ETH Adapter CN as the client, set the PC as the server, install and run the DDNS software on the PC, and set the Port mapping for PC on the router of PC side.
Page 24
The setting of ETH Adapter CN serial port parameters is omitted here, you can see the previous description. Set ETH Adapter CN as TCP Client; remote host IP =domain name of remote PC, here is: kollew.changeip.net; host port = VCOMM software port number. - 24 -...

3G router , 3G network card to achieve the worldwide Internet wireless communication. As long as any places where the wireless Internet is available,then the wireless communication between the S7-300/400PLC and PC can be achieved, which has extended a broader application range. - 31 -...
In fact when you use wireless communication,the setting method is almost as same as the previous introduction.,only 3G router, wireless network card of different manufacturers may have some differences in the usage, so please read the corresponding product manual. When the ETH Adapter CN works as the server, it is best to use the 3G router with the function of dynamic domain name to connect the ETH Adapter CN.
10.Order info Product name: Siemens S7-300/400PLC Ethernet Adapter Product model:ETH Adapter CN 11,Appendix: basic knowledge of Ethernet TCP / IP transport layer provides two common agreements of TCP and UDP, the two protocols provide the transmission mechanism of TCP / IP network applications. TCP provides a guaranteed and reliable information transmission, and UDP use non-guaranteed and non-reliable method to transmit information.
ensure data is correct. UDP is a relatively simple way of communication, it will not increase too much extra traffic, it can communicate faster than the TCP to provide real time communication. UDP does not need the server and client, both parties are on equal communication. Our Ethernet to serial communication module using UDP mode including: UDP Uni_Cast, UDP Multi_Cast.
