If an S7-200 system is to communicate with an S7-300, S7-400 or OPC-based sys-

tem via a CP 243-1, configure such an S7-300, S7-400 or OPC-based system us-

ing STEP 7, version 5.1 or higher, with Service Pack 3 or higher (with NCM S7 for

Industrial Ethernet).

Note

The CP 243-1 may independently switch to another Gateway after booting due to

special network-based services ("ICMPRedirect"). After approx. 30 seconds, the

CP 243-1 switches back to the Gateway originally configured. Thus, the Gateway

actually used by CP 243-1 can temporarily deviate from the one defined in the con-

figuration.

You can read out the Gateway the CP 243-1 is using at any particular time from

the storage area of the S7-200 CPU in which the NPB data block is stored (see

Chapter 4.4.3). To do so, use the CP 243-1 diagnostics window in STEP 7 Mi-

cro/WIN 32 or make use of a user program.
