Commissioning the CP

Commissioning the CP
Requirements
Requirements for the full commissioning of the CP are as follows:
● Configuration
You have configured the CP in a STEP 7 project for the properties and services you want
to use.
See section Configuration and operation (Page 35) for information on this.
● Programming
If you want to use the OPC client function of the CP, you need to have created and
programmed the program blocks required for this on the CPU.
See section Programming the OPC UA client blocks (Page 79) for information on this.
Commissioning
Commissioning involves the following:
● The initial addressing of the CP via LAN (node initialization)
● Downloading configuration data via LAN
Use the diagnostic functions of the CP during commissioning and to analyze problems, see
section Diagnostics options (Page 119).
Initial addressing and downloading
To download, follow the steps outlined below:
Connect the CP to the PG for initial addressing and for downloading via the LAN.
The PG / PC requires a LAN attachment, for example via a CP 1613 or CP 1411 and must
have the necessary software (for example the S7-1613 package or SOFTNET IE). The
TCP/IP protocol must be installed. The protocol used must then be applied to the S7ONLINE
access point.
You will find further details in the manual /2/ (Page 133).
If you assign the IP address to the CP via DHCP, note the information in the section
"Options" tab: Effects of protection levels (Page 52).
