    03/03 Configuration Configuration of a Communication Partner with STEP 7 Using the example of an S7-300 system, this chapter describes the configuration steps that must be performed in STEP 7 so that such a system is able to communi- cate with an S7-200 system via the related Ethernet communications processor. The procedure is similar for S7-400 systems.

    03/03 Configuration Reaction of the CP 243-1 IT to Configuration Errors When the CP 243-1 IT detects an invalid configuration, it tries to obtain its TCP/IP address parameters (IP address, subnet mask and IP address of the gateway) via a BOOTP service. The CP 243-1 IT continues to attempt this for approx. 1 minute. When it fails to receive a reply from a BOOTP service within this time or the reply is invalid or has errors, the red LED ("SF") flashes for approx.

    03/03 Programming Programming Use STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32 to develop S7-200 user programs. The version STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32 must be V3.2.3 or higher so that you can use the functions of the CP 243-1 IT in these programs. To be able to use the CP 243-1 IT as an S7, e-mail or FTP client, at least one of the communication channels of the CP 243-1 IT must be configured appropriately.

  • Page 96: Ethx_Ctrl

    Programming 03/03 ETHx_CTRL The subprogram ETHx_CTRL initializes and monitors the CP 243-1 IT. You must call this subprogram in your S7-200 user program at the beginning of every cycle if you want to utilize the functions of a CP 243-1 IT. After a iser program or a new configuration is downloaded by SETP 7 Micro/Win 32 to the S7-200 CPU and the S7-200 CPU is started again, this subroutine commands the Cp 243-1 IT to check for changes in the configuration data.

    Programming 03/03 ETHx_CFG Calling the subprogram ETHx_CFG causes the CP 243-1 IT to read in the configu- ration data which are stored in the memory of the S7-200 CPU. The CP 243-1 IT then automatically performs a reset after the subprogram ETHx_CFG is called. The configuration read from the memory of the S7-200 CPU takes effect after the re- start following the reset.
