4.3 Network topologies
The Lenze visualisation system supports different control and bus systems connected via
»VisiWinNET®« channels. Depending on the control or bus system used, the communication and
network options are different.
Communication has an impact on the usability of the operating systems and device lines.
4.3.1 Channels
The following »VisiWinNET®« communication channel types are distinguished:
• »VisiWinNET®« driver (direct driver)
• OPC server
Depending on the bus system, there will be either a »VisiWinNET®« driver (direct driver) or an OPC
server available.

Note!
There is no OPC server available for PROFIBUS and PROFINET.
Controller p300:
• The OPC communication for »VisiWinNET« is exclusively available for Controller p300
without PLC.
• Otherwise, only the Lenze "Logic&Motion" direct driver can be used for the data
exchange between »VisiWinNET« and PLC.
