IBH link S5++ - this is the cost-efficient alternative to ordinary PLC-PC-connections via Ethernet. A CP communication processor usually has to be applied to the PLCs rack in order to connect a PLC with a PC via Ethernet.

With increasing integration in automation technology, a PLC to PC connection is needed more than ever. This is usually done with communication processors (such as CPs from Siemens or Ethernet components from other manufacturers).

IBHsoftec has recently introduced the IBHLink S5++ for connecting a PLC with a PC as an alternative solution. This compact and robust device acts as an Ethernet-converter within a 15-pin Sub-D-housing to provide a connection through a hub, a switch or even directly to a PC via a common network adaptor.
