Parameterizing The Communication Protocols - Siemens SIMATIC CP 440 Manual

5.2

Parameterizing the Communication Protocols

Once you have entered the CP 440 in the configuration table, you have to assign
parameters to the CP 440 communication processors and the interface
submodules of the CP 440.
Parameterization
The term "parameterization" is used in the following to describe the setting of
protocol-specific parameters. You set these parameters using the CP 440:
Point-to-Point Communication, Parameter Assignment parameterization interface.
You start the parameterization interface by double-clicking the order number
(CP 440) in the configuration table or by selecting the CP 440 and choosing the
Edit Object Properties menu command. The "Properties - CP 440 " dialog box
appears.
Click the "Parameters" button in order to select a protocol. Set the protocol and
double-click the icon for the transmission protocol (an envelope). This takes you to
the dialog box for setting the protocol-specific parameters.
Further Information
The CP 440: Point-to-Point Communication, Parameter Assignment
parameterization interface is intuitive and easy to use; the procedure is the same
for all communication processors. For this reason, the parameterization interface is
not described in detail here.
The online help system provides all the assistance you will need when working with
the parameterization interface.
Note
To create a parameter record for the CP, you must select and save the protocol
settings at least once.
