Two different examples were prepared using PLC Siemens S7-1500. The first example performs motor control via ProfiDrive with another Hilscher solution, the NIC52-RE, without the need for any PC. In the second, more detailed visualization is performed by using WinCC PC Runtime instead of NIC52-RE.

Demo System

A minimum of TIA Portal 15.1 must be installed to open the TIA Portal files.

S7-1500 PLC is not working without SD card. Get Siemens SD Card before starting.

PROFIdrive Example with NIC52-RE

The detailed PLC Startup Guide for the NIC52-RE based ProfiDrive Example can be accessed from the PLC Startup Guide - NIC52-RE based PROFIdrive Example.
