4. Using the ACCON-S5-LAN
The setting of the ACCON-S5-LAN’s IP address is made with the »S5-LAN-Manager« program. This program is
provided on the DELTALOGIC Automatisierungstechnik-CD, under »CD drive:\S5\ACCON-S5-
LAN\PLCVCom\S5LanMan.exe« for direct use. If the communication is exclusively effected via RFC1006, no further
software will be necessary. Please find further information about the »S5-LAN-Manager« program in chapter 4.3 »The
software S5-LAN-Manager«.
If the ACCON-S5-LAN is to replace a serial connection, a virtual, serial interface has to be setup. This is made with
the »PLC-VCom« program, look chapter 4.1 »The software PLC-VCom«.
If the Siemens S5 software is used, an additional modulation of the Siemens S5 software has to be made in order
that the latter is able to use the virtual, serial interface of the »PLC-VCom« program. This modulation is done by the
»S5USB.exe« program. This program is provided on the DELTALOGIC Automatisierungstechnik-CD, under »CD
drive:\S5\ACCON-S5-LAN\STEP5 Patch« for direct use. For further notes, look chapter 4.2 »STEP 5 add-on driver
for ACCON-S5-LAN«.
4.1. The software PLC-VCom
The setup program »Setup.exe« is provided on the DELTALOGIC Automatisierungstechnik-CD in the CD menu under
»S5-Hard-/Software/ACCON-S5-LAN«. Or in the explorer under »CD drive:S5\ACCON-S5-LAN\PLCVCom«. The »S5-
LAN-Manager« program is installed simultaneously.
