Overview
The Simatic/TI 505 Serial Driver provides an easy and reliable way to connect Simatic/TI 505 Serial devices to
OPC Client applications, including HMI, SCADA, Historian, MES, ERP and countless custom applications.
The driver is a serial driver intended for use with TI 500/505 PLCs using the programming port of the processor.
The driver supports two protocols, Non-Intelligent Terminal Protocol (NITP) and Transparent Byte (TB). Both
protocols are point-to-point only, meaning only one processor can be connected at a time.
All TI 500/505 processors support the NITP protocol. The NITP protocol is an ASCII protocol. Most processors
also support the TB protocol, which is a binary protocol and faster. Processors do not have to be configured to
use one protocol or another. Processors that do not support the TB protocol will ignore TB requests.
The protocol selection is made when configuring a device. If NITP is selected, the parity setting for the COM port
must be odd and the number of data bits 7. If TB is selected the parity must be none and the number of data bits
8. The baud rate should match the setting in the PLC. RTS_ALWAYS flow control must be selected for either
protocol.
An RS232 cable with a null modem is used to connect the PC to the processor. This is the same cable that is used
with the TISOFT programming software.
