Overview
Siemens S7 connections

Protocols define a set of instructions or standards that enable computer to establish com-
munication connections and exchange information as error free as possible. A commonly
established protocol for the standardization of the complete computer communication is
the so called ISO/OSI layer model, a model based upon seven layers with rules for the
usage of hardware and software
page 215
The following protocols are used:
n Siemens S7 connections
n Open communication
– TCP native according to RFC 793
– ISO on TCP according to RFC 1006
– UDP according to RFC 768
With the Siemens S7 connection large data sets may be transferred between PLC sys-
tems based on Siemens STEP
dition for the Siemens S7 communication is a configured connection table, which contains
the defined connections for communication. Here NetPro from Siemens may be used.
Properties:
n A communication connection is specified by a connection ID for each connection
partner.
n The acknowledgement of the data transfer is established from the partner station at
level 7 of the ISO/OSI reference model.
At the PLC side FB/SFB VIPA handling blocks are necessary for data transfer for the
n
Siemens S7 connections.
More information about the usage of these blocks may be found in the
manual "SPEED7 Operation List" from VIPA.
