Attributes Description
Local Endpoint
ID The entry is identical to the Local ID parameter in the connection
table.
Name When you create the connection, a name is proposed here for the
connection endpoint along with a connection number as suffix.
With unspecified connections, use this box to identify the partner.
Via CP If the station contains more than one CP of the same type connected
to the same subnet, you can select the connection route. -> "Route"
button see Section 5.9.
If no CP is assigned (for example because the CP was previously
deleted) "none" is displayed here.
Active Connection With this option, you specify whether the connection is established by
Establishment this S7 station. This is the default setting when the address of the
partner is specified.
ON: the connection is established actively.
OFF: the connection is established by the partner.
If you selected partner "unspecified" when you created the
connection, the option is deselected as default. If you activate the
option, you must also specify the address of the partner in the
"Addresses" tab.
Note:
Please note the effects on the mode. If you want to use the FETCH
or WRITE mode (refer to the "Options" tab), the mode must be set to
"Passive" for the S7 station.
Block Parameters
ID This value must be entered as a block call parameter ID for calling
the FC in the user program to identify the connection. The ID
changes if the local ID is changed.
LADDR This value must be entered as a block call parameter ID for calling
the FC in the user program to identify the connection.
Connection Name (Reference) - Only in Multiproject
If you create a connection to a partner in another project that has not yet been
merged with the current multiproject, you must specify a connection name as a
reference (not to be confused with the name of the connection endpoint described
above). Interproject connections can then be joined up based on this reference. As
soon as the connections have been joined, the connection name (reference) is no
longer relevant and is no longer displayed.
