Configuring a CP 243-1 using STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32
After you have installed and started STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32 on your PC, start the
Wizard for the CP 243-1. It is located in the "Extras" menu under the "Ethernet
Wizard..." item. It is also found on the left side of the window in STEP 7 Mi-
cro/WIN 32 in the window with the navigation bar under the "Extras" item, provided
the appropriate view is enabled in your STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32.
The Ethernet Wizard supports you when configuring your CP 243-1. You can enter
all relevant parameters in several masks. User guidance is designed such that you
cannot enter a new mask until all entries in the present mask are complete and
correct. Otherwise, an error message appears.
The individual configuration steps through which the Wizard guides you are briefly
described below.
Note
Detailed information is available in the STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32 documentation that is
supplied together with the STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32.
After you have started the Wizard, an entry mask containing general information
appears. After you have read the contents, click on "Continue>" to proceed.
Defining the position of the CP 243-1 in the S7-200 system
Using the second mask, define the position of the CP 243-1 in the S7-200 system.
This position can be manually entered, or the Wizard can search for a CP 243-1 in
your S7-200 system. If it locates a CP 243-1, its position is automatically displayed
in the S7-200 system. Otherwise, an error message appears.
Defining the TCP/IP address parameters and transmission type
The next mask is used to define the TCP/IP address parameters and the transmis-
sion type to be used.
There are two methods for setting the TCP/IP address parameters:
1. Enter the parameters in the appropriate entry window manually.
2. Activate the access to a BOOTP server. In this case, the CP 243-1 retrieves the
TCP/IP address parameters from a BOOTP server as it boots. If the CP 243-1
cannot locate a BOOTP server in your TCP/IP network, it goes into Reset
mode, restarts and again attempts to establish contact with a BOOTP server. It
continues doing so until it locates a BOOTP server from which it can retrieve
TCP/IP address parameters.
