4.4 Connecting the SIMATIC Box PC 620 to other SIMATIC S5
Point-To-Point Connection
In this section, you will learn how to connect your SIMATIC Box PC 620 to a
programming device or S5 programmable logic controller using a point-to-point
connection.
You can stablish a point-to-point connection by connecting the
SIMATIC Box PC 620 to another programming device or a programmable logic
controller using
A V.24 connection
A TTY connection (not possible for the basic variant of the Box PC)
Configuring Interfaces with Line Current (TTY, 20 mA)
To ensure reliable data transfer, several factors must be taken into account. The
maximum data transfer rate (baud rate) depends on the distance, the type of
cable, the pin assignment of the interface and external interference.
You can reduce interference by choosing the right transmission cable and
connecting it properly, and by observing the following guidelines:
Use a shielded cable with a low line resistance (130 W / km) (about 40 W kft)
and low capacitance (< 90 pF/m) (about 27 pF/ft). Twisted-pair cables are less
susceptible to noise and interference. A low line resistance results in reduced
voltage excursions and shorter charge reversal times. The line resistance decreases with increasing conductor cross-section for the same length of cable.
The shorter the transmission link, the higher the maximum possible data
transfer rate.
If there is an active sender and an active receiver at the same end of the
transmission link, the sequence of access priority to the transmission circuit
must be taken into account in order to achieve the longest possible
transmission link.
Signal lines and power lines must not run together. Signal lines must be
installed as far away as possible from sources of strong interference (for
example, 400 V 3-phase power cables).
The active TTY interface with a 12 V no-load voltage has been tested on a 100
m (1100 ft) long cable at a transmission rate of 9600 bps in an environment with
normal levels of noise fieldstrengthV/mor1V/ft).If a shielded 5 x 1 x 0.14shielded
cable is used, reliable transmission is possible over a distance of up to 100 m
(1100 ft). The AS511 protocol (only one transmitter at a time) was used for
testing.
Note
The interference field of the source of interference is reduced by the square of the
distance.

5.3 Replacing the Backup Battery
Battery Power Supply for Real-Time Clock and Configuration
A backup battery (3.6 V-lithium battery) powers the the real-time clock even after
the SIMATIC Box PC 620 is switched off. In addition to the time of day, all the information about the SIMATIC Box PC 620 (device configuration) is stored in RAM.
If the backup battery fails or is removed, all these data are lost.
The clock uses very little power and the lithium battery has a high capacity so that
the battery can provide backup power for the real-time clock for many years and
seldom needs to be replaced.
Battery Voltage too Low
If the battery voltage is too low, the time is lost, and a correct configuration of the
device can no longer be guaranteed.
Replacing tthe Battery
In this case, you must replace the backup battery. The battery is on the
motherboard.
To change the battery, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off your SIMATIC Box PC 620 and remove the power cable and all the
connecting cables.
2. Open the unit as described in Section 5.1.
3. Change the backup battery inserted in the motherboard by pulling out the
connector and undoing the cable tie.
4. Secure the new battery in its mounting with a cable tie.
5. Insert the battery connector in the motherboard.
6. Close the unit.

The parameters you can select here are usually stored on the IDE drive. The ’Auto’
setting in the ’Type’ field means that these values are automatically read from the
drive and written into memory (Autodetect).
If Type is selected for a drive that cannot be detected, a timer times out in
approximately 1 minute and the entries remain unchanged. You should always
check that the interfaces for which you select ’Auto’ are in fact connected to drives.
Select “User” if you want to define the hard-disk type yourself, in which case
remember that you also have to set the other fields, including Cylinder, Heads,
Sectors/Track and WritePrecomp, to the correct values for the type of hard disk in
question.
