Hardware requirements
Chapter 2.
The eWON features the S7200 IO Server that is dedicated to the S7-200 Series PLCs from
Siemens. Since firmware 5.7, all eWON types, with serial port and with MPI port, are suited to
communicate in both PPI modes (MonoMaster and MultiMaster). The standard serial port of the
eWON must be configured in RS-485 (with the dipswitches) to communicate in PPI.
The ISOTCP (Ethernet) is available on all the eWON types.
The eWON always acts as MASTER.
Usage eWON with SERIAL port
(EWxxx0x)
eWON with MPI port
(EWxxx6x)
MonoMaster
eWON is the ONLY Master on the PPI
network.
Yes
Yes
since firmware 5.5
MultiMaster
eWON is not the only Master on the PPI
network. Other masters (HMI or PPI
multimaster programming cables) may be
present at the same time on the PPI bus.
Yes
since firmware 5.7
Yes
since firmware 5.5
Note: For MultiMaster use, an eWON with MPI is probably the best choice because it has higher
performances to manage multi thread communication.
