Configuration in STEP 7

5.6 Configuring networks and network nodes in STEP 7 / NetPro

5.6 Configuring networks and network nodes in STEP 7 / NetPro
A fully configured network is required for the next steps in configuration.
● Configuring telecontrol connections
● Configuring telecontrol subscriber data
● Configuring the objects (for example data objects)
● Generating system data blocks (SDBs) and data blocks (DBs)
During the initial network configuration, the following is achieved:
● Connection of the modules with network capability to the networks
● Creation of a graphic view of the network consisting of one or more subnets
● Specification of the required properties and parameters for each subnet and each
networked module
● Documentation of the network configuration
Starting the parameter assignment dialogs for networks and network nodes
If you double-click on a network or network node icon or select the Object Properties menu
in the shortcut menu (right mouse button), the Properties dialog opens to allow you to set
parameters. Here, you can connect modules with networking capability with the networks
and adapt the properties of the relevant object to your requirements. All parameters have
default settings that simplify parameter assignment.

Configuring WANs

DNP3 WAN networks are configured in the "Properties DNP3 Dedicated Line" / "Properties
SINAUT Dial-up Network" dialog. The parameters to be set in the following tabs always
apply to the entire network and are identical for all attached network nodes or
communications partners:
● "General" tab
with general information and for modifying the module name or adding comments
● "Network Settings" tab
for setting the communications parameters of the current telecontrol network
● "Time Service" tab
for setting parameters for time synchronization on the telecontrol network
● "Node List" tab
with the list of all subscribers on the current telecontrol network
