The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger. Danger indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken. Warning indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken. Caution with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken. Caution without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken. Notice indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into account. If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage. Qualified Personnel The device/system may only be set up and used in conjunction with this documentation. Commissioning and operation of a device/system may only be performed by qualified personnel. Within the context of the safety notes in this documentation qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to commission, ground and label devices, systems and circuits in accordance with established safety practices and standards.

Automation and Drives 09/2006 Technical data subject to change Postfach 48 48 90437 NÜRNBERG GERMANY Preface Preface SIMATIC products allow control solutions for a variety of industries and requirements. A key element in the success of the SIMATIC products is the ability of the different hardware platforms to communicate seamlessly over different networks--sharing information quickly and efficiently. Purpose of this manual The Communication with SIMATIC System Manual provides a general overview of the communication networks and communication technologies that are used in the automation field. The emphasis is on the SIMATIC product line and the network protocols it supports. This manual is based on the brochure "Industrial Communication for Automation" and extends the technical facts. The manual also specifies the available configuration tools and refers to further information. The manual offers the following opportunities: ● Introduction into the communication technologies ● Basis for decision-taking and planning for the various networks ● Navigation aid within the documentation structure in the SIMATIC environment However, more detailed descriptions of the SIMATIC products and instructions on the concrete structuring of communication networks are not contained. This information is provided in the corresponding product-oriented manuals. Required Background It is advantageous if you already have a general knowledge of networks and automation technology and are familiar with the brochure "Industrial Communication for Automation". No specific knowledge of communication theory is required. Basic knowledge about communication, for example about network topology and the 7-layer ISO/OSI reference model, is recommended Scope of This Manual This manual applies for the SIMATIC product line. Changes compared to the previous version The decisive change compared to the previous version is the improved structuring of the contents. In this new manual the contents are provided classified by the networks. The chapters for the respective networks have a uniform substructure. Communication with SIMATIC System Manual, 09/2006, EWA 4NEB 710 6075-02 04 iii Preface Audience This manual is intended for the following target groups who plan and design networked automation solutions with SIMATIC products: ● Decision makers ● Planner ● Designers Commissioning engineers and the service personnel will also profit from the manual.
