Diagnostic Capabilities
The following aids are available for diagnosis.
• Ping server
Using the "ping" program which is present on all standard computers with a
Windows operating system from Microsoft, you can determine whether a CP
243-1 IT can be always be reached under an IP address to be specified.
• STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32
Under the entry "Information ..." in the menu "PLC," you are given all informa-
tion on your S7-200 system. This also includes the information concerning
which modules are connected to your S7-200 system. After you double-click the
module "CP 243-1 INTERNET" in the module overview, a box appears with the
following specific information on your CP 243-1 IT.
− General module information (module type and version states used)
− TCP/IP address parameters (IP address, subnet mask, IP address of the
gateway and the MAC address). When a configuration error occurs and
booting is performed later with the BOOTP routine, the values shown here
are not valid. This same applies when the user program has not completed
at least one cycle.
− Status messages
− Information on the embedding of the CP 243-1 IT in the address area of the
S7-200 CPU
− Configuration and states of the S7 channels
− Error messages
− Configuration and states of the IT functions (FTP server, FTP client, HTTP
server and e-mail client)
• Reading the SM memory area
During run time, CP 243-1 IT-specific information can also be read and proc-
essed by an S7-200 user program from the SM area currently used by the CP
(see Table 5). When global errors occur on a CP 243-1 IT, the related error
identifiers are located in this area. The location of the individual pieces of infor-
mation will be now specified.
