This manual explains how to connect the Lingyuan TP505 to a Siemens S7-200 PLC for remote programming and cloud monitoring.
About this manual
The guide describes the hardware wiring between the TP505 and the S7-200 using a nine‑pin serial cable, then shows how to power both devices and configure the TP505 via its web interface (http://192.168.10.1, user root, password 1234). It also covers setting up the Tianqi IoT cloud platform, adding the device, and enabling remote data monitoring and alarm viewing.
Further sections detail installing the CloudBOX virtual‑serial software on a PC, creating a virtual COM port, configuring STEP7 communication parameters (PPI settings, modem connection, and retry limits), and finally downloading programs to the PLC. The manual ends with update notes and version information. This manual is written in Chinese.
