Page 39 1 Communication via Ethernet CPs in S7 Stations 1.7.3 Network/Project Variant: Two or More Subnets - One Project Configuration of the System Due to the different tasks of the stations or due to the extent of the system it may be necessary to operate more than one network.
Page 40 1 Communication via Ethernet CPs in S7 Stations 1.7.4 Network/Project Variant: One Subnet - More Than One (Sub)Project Configuration of the System In complex networked systems, during configuration it is sometimes more efficient to manage plant sections in different (sub) projects. The situation can arise that communication takes place over an interproject subnet and that interproject connections must then also be created.
Page 41 1 Communication via Ethernet CPs in S7 Stations In this case, agreement is necessary, for example, regarding the assignment of connection names because it will be far easier when synchronizing the projects to bring connections with identical connection names together. The topic of multiprojects is dealt with in detail in the STEP 7 basic help.
Page 42 1 Communication via Ethernet CPs in S7 Stations Use this variant when you want to operate projects separately due to the complexity. Stations of the type SIMATIC S5 function in just the same way as representative objects. Merging Projects in the Multiproject: If you have used the multiproject functions allowing you to use connections to a partner in an unknown project, STEP 7 will automatically attempt to synchronize two separately configured connections.

5 Configuring Communication Connections Procedure Initial Situation The steps described here assume the following: 1. You have created the local S7 station and the required partner stations in your STEP 7 projects (refer to the description in Chapter 3). 2. You have clarified the other station types with which connections must be established.
Page 101: Possible Connection Configurations
5 Configuring Communication Connections Possible Connection Configurations Communication connections are possible between the communication partners shown in the diagram below. The communication partners can be in the same project or distributed in the subprojects of a multiproject. Connections to communication partners outside a project are configured using the STEP 7 object “Partner other project”...
Page 102 5 Configuring Communication Connections Organization in a Multiproject If interproject subnets are configured, you can also configure connections over such subnets using STEP 7 V5.2. The endpoints of these connections can be located in different projects. STEP 7 supports you both when creating interproject connections within a multiproject as well as when synchronizing connections that were configured without a multiproject context.

5 Configuring Communication Connections Connections Characteristics of a Connection A communication connection allows program-controlled communication between two nodes on Industrial Ethernet with the following characteristics: S The data transfer is bi-directional, in other words, it is possible to transmit and receive on the connection simultaneously.
Page 104 5 Configuring Communication Connections Note The term “connection” is also used here for UDP. Reason: During configuration (just as in TCP) the communication partners are assigned to each other and therefore logically “connected”. In actual fact, with UDP there is no explicit connection establishment between communication partners.
Page 105 5 Configuring Communication Connections Tasks of the Ethernet CP When handling the data transfer on a connection, the Ethernet CP has the following tasks: S When receiving Receiving data from Ethernet and transferring it to the user data area on the CPU.
Page 106: New Connection
5 Configuring Communication Connections 5.3.1 New Connection Principle When you create new connections, you start from entered and networked stations. A connection is then configured starting from a station or CPU in the current S7 project and then selecting a destination station. Due to the networking, the node addresses (MAC or IP addresses) of the two stations are already decided.

Page 108: Connections To Partners In Other Projects
5 Configuring Communication Connections Handling Connections in a Multiproject Interproject connections to a specified partner (for example, a CPU) are created in the same way as connections within a project (identical procedure). The dialog for selecting the connection partner has been extended and allows you not only to select the endpoint (module) but also the project within a multiproject to which the endpoint belongs.
Page 109 5 Configuring Communication Connections In both projects, the same connection name must be configured in the properties of the connection. The connection name is used as a textual reference when the projects are merged. Based on the connection name it is possible to assign the connection partner and synchronize the connection properties.

Page 146: Udp With Broadcast And Multicast
5 Configuring Communication Connections 5.7.3 UDP with Broadcast and Multicast Application When you select the connection partner, you have the following two extra options on UDP connections: S Connection to all Broadcast Nodes If you select the “all broadcast nodes”, you specify that UDP frames are sent to all obtainable broadcast nodes.
Page 147 5 Configuring Communication Connections Why Does an S7-CP Prevent Reception on Broadcast Connections? It is often necessary for one station to send frames to a number of partner stations. It is important that the frames are sent at the same time and arrive and practically the same time.
Page 148 5 Configuring Communication Connections Addresses Tab - Connection to all Broadcast Nodes If you select “all broadcast nodes” as the connection partner, you specify that UDP frames are sent to all obtainable broadcast nodes. In the “Addresses” tab, a valid broadcast address in the network is proposed for the partner under the IP address (IP).
Page 149 5 Configuring Communication Connections Addresses Tab - Connection to all Multicast Nodes By selecting “all multicast nodes” as the connection partner, you specify that S sent UDP frames are delivered to all multicast nodes of the multicast group; S the local device receives multicast frames in the specified multicast group. The multicast group is specified using the IP address and the port addresses.
Page 150 5 Configuring Communication Connections Notice Within a multicast group, you should assign identical PORT addresses for the local port and the partner port. This is the only way that frames can be sent and also received by the CP within a multicast group! Note the following example of three nodes in the multicast group: Ethernet station A UDP connection...
Page 151 5 Configuring Communication Connections IP Addresses for IP Multicast S Possible Values IP addresses from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 can be used for IP multicast. Since the IP addresses up to 224.0.0.255 are reserved for special purposes, we recommend that you use IP addresses starting at 224.0.1.0 (default) for IP multicast.

6 Programmed Communication Connections 6 Programmed Communication Connections In some situations, it is an advantage to set up communication connections not over the configuration interface of STEP 7 but program-controlled by a specific V 5.2.1 application. Typical users who will find this useful are, for example, mass producers of machines who want to offer their customers a simple user interface but need to adapt the communication services to the operator input.
Page 161: Overview
6 Programmed Communication Connections Overview Area of Application Communication connections can be freely configured controlled by the program. Interplay between Programming and Configuration Connections are either configured using STEP 7 or configured by the user program while the S7 station is running. Mixing these variants on a CP is not possible! Principle Configuration data for communication connections can be transferred to the CPU using the function block called in the user program.
Page 162 6 Programmed Communication Connections Note Read the description of FB55 IP_CONFIG in Section 7.6. Configuration Limits A maximum of 64 connections can be specified in FB55 CP_CONFIG. The most important factor, however, is the maximum number of connections supported by the CP type you are using (see /2/).
Page 163 6 Programmed Communication Connections Procedure Initial Situation The steps described here assume the following: 1. You have created the local S7 station and the required partner stations in your STEP 7 projects (refer to the description in Chapter 3). 2. You have clarified the other station types with which connections must be established.
Page 164 6 Programmed Communication Connections Configuration Data Block Meaning The configuration data block (CONF_DB) contains all the connection data and configuration data (IP address, subnet mask, default router, NTP time server and other parameters) for an Ethernet CP.
