Configuration
Configuring
After the communications processor has been installed in the PC, the communications
processor needs to be configured.
For this the configuration tool "STEP 7 Professional (TIA Portal)" as of V 14 is required.
The further procedure is described in the "Commissioning PC Stations" manual and in the
"PROFINET with STEP 7 V14" function manual. You will find the manuals on the SIMATIC
NET product DVD in the directory: V2.X.X\CP16xx\doc.
Special consideration when configuring the I&M data:
The data "Plant designation" and "Location identifier" that can be set in "STEP 7
Professional (TIA Portal)" can be loaded together with the STEP 7-project into the
communications processor.
If the communications processor is also configured as an IO device, the data "HID" and "LID"
can also be read out from any partner stations via the PROFINET protocol. This is performed
by reading the data record "I&M 1". Responding to this data record is the task of the user
application. Ensure that the data received from the application corresponds to the data
configured in "STEP 7 Professional (TIA Portal)".
Downloading firmware
The CP 1626 ships with a current firmware version.
Always use the current drive for the CP 1626. This is supplied on the current SIMATIC NET
CD. Takes the following actions:
● Download the firmware to the communications processor.
● Update and activate the driver of the communications processor on the PC.
You can download new firmware either via the use of program on the host PC or remotely
via the integrated Web server of the communications processor.
Load files
The load file contains the firmware of the communications processor and other information
that can be displayed by the firmware loader. Based on this information, it checks the
compatibility with the device.
Example: The load file version V01.00.00 is supplied with the name "6GK1162-
6AA01V01.00.00.upd".
