Configuration of the PLC

The following illustrates the configuration of the PLC using the example of the
Simatic S7 software from Siemens, and assumes that you are familiar with
operating the software.
The device also supports engineering stations from other manufacturers,
such as PC Worx from Phönix.
Note: If for example, a management program is occupying the Switch CPU
with SNMP requests, the I/O connection between the programmable logic
controller (PLC) and the Switch can be interrupted for a time. As the Switch
can still transmit data packages in this case, the system can also still be
ready for operation.
The monitoring of the I/O connection to the Switch CPU as a failure criterion
can result in system failure and is therefore less suitable as a failure criterion.
In the PLC default setting, the PLC sees the interruption of the I/O connection
to the Switch as a failure criterion. According to the default setting, this leads
to a system failure. To change this default setting, you employ Step7
programming measures.
