Result: After downloading the configuration data, the CP can be reached on Industrial Ethernet using the IP address. Note You will find further detailed information on this procedure in the STEP 7 online help.
Page 103 3 Operating the Ethernet CP with STEP 7/NCM S7 3.10 Downloading the configuration data to the target system Principle The configuration data of the Ethernet CP are downloaded from the hardware configuration. All the configuration data of the S7 station are downloaded including the central configuration, all relevant DP master systems and all parameter settings.
Page 104 3 Operating the Ethernet CP with STEP 7/NCM S7 Procedure To download the configuration data to the S7 station, follow the steps outlined below: 1. Open the “Set PG/PC Interface” dialog box in the Windows Control Panel. 2.

Page 112 4 SEND/RECEIVE Interface in the User Program Data exchange S7 CPU <−> Ethernet CP The Ethernet CP processes the send and receive jobs independent of the CPU cycle and requires one transmission time. The interface to the user program with the FCs is synchronized by an acknowledgment.
Page 113 4 SEND/RECEIVE Interface in the User Program Notice Remember that resource shortages can occur if the processing speeds on the sender and receiver are not the same (sender faster than receiver). The sender receives a message from the FCs if problems occur (“No resources on the destination station”).
Page 114 4 SEND/RECEIVE Interface in the User Program Additional information 4.4.1 Programming data transfer on TCP connections Purpose of TCP connections TCP connections should be used above all for connections to systems of a different type if they do not support the RFC1006. For communication between devices of the SIMATIC family, you should use the more convenient ISO-on-TCP connections! The following sections explain certain special points to note.
Page 115 4 SEND/RECEIVE Interface in the User Program 4.4.2 Recommendations for use with a high communications load Overview The points below relate to the Ethernet CPs and will help you to avoid overload situations on your CPU. In particular when you replace an older CP with a newer CP and are then confronted with overload problems, you should check your application for the pitfalls outlined below.
Page 116 5 Configuring Communication Connections This chapter explains the following: S The general aspects of configuring communication connections S How to configure ISO transport connections, ISO−on−TCP, UDP and TCP connections S How to use the connection configuration functions to specify communication partners that exchange data via UDP You will find a description of the connection−specific properties dialogs in the following sections:...
Page 117 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 118 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 119 5 Configuring Communication Connections Organization in a multiproject If interproject subnets are configured, you can also configure connections over such subnets. 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.
Page 120 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 121: Configuring Connections
5 Configuring Communication Connections Amounts of data Refer to the manual supplied with the Ethernet CP /1/ for the number of communications connections supported by the specific Ethernet CP. The number of connections per station can be increased by adding more CPs. For information on the amounts of data transferred by the Ethernet CP per job (send or receive) over a connection, refer to Table 4-1.
Page 122 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 123 5 Configuring Communication Connections Handling connections in a multiproject Interproject connections to a specified partner (for example a CPU) are created just like 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 124 5 Configuring Communication Connections 5.3.2 Connections to partners in other projects There are various ways of creating connections to partners configured in other STEP 7 projects or with other tools outside the current STEP 7 project: S Connections using substitute objects such as “SIMATIC S5”, “PC/PG” , “SIMATIC PC Station”...
Page 125 5 Configuring Communication Connections S Connection to a specific station in any project The address setting for the ISO−on−TCP connection is then as follows: You can specify the remote IP address and the port of any destination station. The destination station can be in the current STEP 7 project or in another project.

Print You can print the entire connection table or individual sections of it by selecting the Print function or clicking the print button.
Page 127 5 Configuring Communication Connections 5.3.4 Connections without assignment Overview This section explains the actions that can lead to a configured connection losing its assignment to the CP or being deleted. Caution Remember that in contrast to the S7 connections, the connections of the SEND/RECEIVE interface are assigned a CP−dependent ID.

Page 160 5 Configuring Communication Connections 5.7.3 UDP with broadcast and multicast Application With UDP, the frames are received without acknowledgment because the UDP protocol has no provision for acknowledgments. This is intentional so that a higher speed at low network load is achieved. This has advantages particularly when using multicast.
Page 161 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 162 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 163 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 164 5 Configuring Communication Connections Notice The port used for multicast frames must be different from the port addresses of any UDP connections that may have been configured. If a configured UDP connection uses the same port address, the multicast frame of another node that uses this port number may cause these connections to be terminated.
Page 165 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 from 224.0.0.0 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.

Page 167 5 Configuring Communication Connections 5.7.5 Free UDP connection Program−controlled addressing A free UDP connection allows program−controlled addressing of the communication partner.

Page 173 6 CP as PROFINET IO Controller Configuration 6.1.1 PROFINET IO system in STEP 7 The basic procedure to configure the CP as a PROFINET IO controller is as follows: 1. You create a PROFINET IO system in STEP 7 / HW Config. You can either assign an existing or a new Ethernet subnet to the CP as the PROFINET IO system.
Page 174 6 CP as PROFINET IO Controller Notice Keep within the IO data area limits The module size of a PROFINET IO device must not exceed the size of the IO data area of the PROFINET IO controller. Check the characteristic data of PROFI- NET IO in the manual of the CP.
Page 175 6 CP as PROFINET IO Controller Configuring the limits of the sync domain If you use the CP for IRT communication, you will need to configure the limits of the sync domain for the relevant ports: 1. Open the properties dialog of the port in HW Config. 2.
Page 176 6 CP as PROFINET IO Controller Optimized data transfer after failure of an IO device The data transfer optimized by reducing the length of FC11 as described below is possible only in the PROFINET IO controller mode. On the PROFINET IO interface, you can optimize data transmission by calling FC PNIO_SEND (FC11) with a length (LEN parameter) shorter than the configured total length of the IO data on the PNIO chain.
Page 177 6 CP as PROFINET IO Controller Note If FB54 has been called (at least) once in the user program, it must continue to be called to acknowledge pending interrupts. Interrupts are pending when FC12 signals a value not equal to “0” in the ADD_INFO parameter. If FB54 is no longer called after it has been called once or more in the user program, interrupts are not acknowledged and there is no guarantee that the IO image will be updated correctly.
Page 178 The factors that influence this are the switch configurations (“switch depth”), the update time and the MC/BC frame lengths.

Page 186 7 S7−300 CP as PROFINET IO Device Step 2: Assigning the device name to the CP as PROFINET IO device Continue configuration in HW Config as follows: 1. Open the properties dialog of the PROFINET IO device that you inserted in the PROFINET IO system.
Page 187 7 S7−300 CP as PROFINET IO Device Programming By programming, you specify the sequence of the user program for the CPU and therefore also access to the I/O data. To write and read process data, use the FCs PNIO_SEND (FC11) or PNIO_RECV (FC12) from the SIMATIC NET block library in your user program.
Page 188 7 S7−300 CP as PROFINET IO Device Data consistency The length information in the block call must be identical to the total length of the input or output data configured for this PROFINET IO device. The entire input or output data area of the PROFINET IO controller is transferred in its entirety between the CP and CPU and is therefore consistent.
Page 189 7 S7−300 CP as PROFINET IO Device Reasons for reinitialization The PROFINET IO device requests reinitialization by the user program in the following situations: S The length information of the input and output areas in the FCs does not match the information configured for this PROFINET IO device on the PROFINET IO system.
Page 190 7 S7−300 CP as PROFINET IO Device Example of configuration and programming The configured input/output modules must be accessed in the user program of the PROFINET IO device using FCs. The FCs provide the process data preprocessed in the user program of the PROFINET IO device on the interface to the PROFINET IO controller (PNIO_SEND) or fetch the data provided by the PROFINET IO controller for further processing in the user program of the PROFINET IO device (PNIO_RECV).
Page 191 7 S7−300 CP as PROFINET IO Device PNIO_SEND transfers the process inputs (DB10) in to the I addresses For the configured I addresses, you will need to make data areas available on the PROFINET IO device, for example in a DB (in this example in a DB10) that contains not only the process data but also the data areas for the IOCS status information.
Page 192 7 S7−300 CP as PROFINET IO Device PNIO_RECV transfers the O addresses to the process outputs (DB11) For the configured O addresses, you will need to make data areas available on the PROFINET IO device, for example in a DB (in this example in a DB11) that contains not only the process data but also the data areas for the IOPS status information.
