This area cannot be used for other purposes.
Content of this section This section deals with the ERPC functions of the CP and the necessary actions to be taken with the Siemens tools. The functions of the ERPC software and the ILS Workbench are not described in this document.
Procedure for using the ERPC functions Overview The CP ships with Siemens firmware loaded. This means that all basic functions with the exception of the ERPC functions are supported. To use the ERPC functions, follow the basic procedure outlined below: 1.
ERPC functions 6.2 ERPC services and communication ERPC services and communication 6.2.1 Communication between S7 station and ERP subscriber Methods of data transfer Two methods are available for data transfer: ● Read and write jobs These are spontaneous or cyclic read and write jobs to the S7 station. –...
CP. This is downloaded to the CP as the ERPC firmware and ILS Workbench configuration. ● In the CP, you can also see the Siemens CP firmware and CP services that, among other things, handle the ERPC communication between CP firmware and CPU.
ERPC functions 6.2 ERPC services and communication ● In the CPU, apart from the logical trigger, you can also see the variables that define the readable/writable data areas in the form of configurable ERPC symbols. No resources are required on the CPU for read and write jobs from the application. The "ILS Workbench"...
ERPC functions 6.2 ERPC services and communication Supplied information When a read/write job has executed, the following information is returned to the ERP subscriber by the CP: ● A data record (with read jobs) ● An acknowledgment The CP replies to every requested read or write job with an acknowledgement that confirms correct execution of the job or contains an error message.
Page 43
ERPC functions 6.2 ERPC services and communication ● An acknowledgment On successful completion of a logical trigger, an acknowledgment is transferred that either confirms the correct execution of the job or contains an error message. If an error occurs, and error identified is returned and a diagnostic message is entered in the diagnostic buffer of the CP.
ERPC functions 6.2 ERPC services and communication Assignment of the logical triggers The assignment of the logical triggers to the following relevant data on the S7 station is made in the ILS Workbench: ● Logical trigger - Data areas of the CPU (ERPC symbols) ●...
ERPC functions 6.3 Configuration With one read/write job, up to 210 bytes of payload data can be transferred between CPU and CP. If a job from the ERPC application is larger than 210 bytes, the data area requested by the ERPC application is segmented into more than one read job of up to a maximum size of 210 bytes and these are sent one after the other to the CPU.
Page 46
ERPC functions 6.3 Configuration ● Configuration of the CPU data areas used for ERPC – Creation of the symbol table for the CPU – Specification of the ERPC symbols in the properties dialog of the CP Further configuration of the read/write jobs in STEP 7 is not necessary. Additionally for the logical trigger: ●...
ERPC functions 6.3 Configuration 6.3.2 Basic configuration in STEP 7 Hardware configuration You configure the hardware of the CP as usual in STEP 7 / HW Config. You will find the CP 343-1 ERPC in the module catalog of HW Config in the following folder: SIMATIC 300 →...

ERPC functions 6.4 Downloading ERPC configuration data Saving the changes in the configuration Note Changes made to the configuration of the ERPC symbols are saved permanently only after closing the properties dialog with "OK" and saving the STEP 7 project. The next steps This completes the STEP 7 configuration for cyclic and spontaneous reading and writing of data for ERPC communication.

Further notes on operation Clear/reset and reset Available functions If the CP was configured with module protection, the following two functions are available only when the CPU is in STOP mode. With the CP, there are two functions available for deleting the stored data: ●...
Further notes on operation 8.2 Network settings with Fast Ethernet / gigabit Ethernet If you store the STEP 7 configuration data on the CPU, please read the note below. Note Using the functions described here to clear or reset the memory, you do not modify the STEP 7 configuration data on the CPU.
Page 57
Further notes on operation 8.2 Network settings with Fast Ethernet / gigabit Ethernet Automatic setting or individual network settings As default, the CP is set to automatic detection (autosensing/autonegotiation/autocrossing). In normal situations, the default setting ensures troublefree communication. You should only change these in exceptional situations.
Further notes on operation 8.2 Network settings with Fast Ethernet / gigabit Ethernet ● No reaction to Autonegotiation query with manual configuration Remember that if you configure the CP manually, it will not react to an autonegotiation query! As a result, a connected partner will not be able to make the required network setting and communication will not be established.
Further notes on operation 8.3 Influence of MPI on connections via Industrial Ethernet Influence of MPI on connections via Industrial Ethernet Adding/removing MPI nodes If a station on the MPI bus is added or removed, for example because a service PG has been connected or disconnected, it is possible that active communication connections on the communications bus are aborted.
Further notes on operation 8.5 Setting the CPU time of day by the CP 8.4.2 Detection of double IP addressing in the network Response of the CP to double addressing in the network To save you timeconsuming troubleshooting in the network, the CP detects double addressing in the network.
Further notes on operation 8.6 Time-of-day synchronization If the CP receives time-of-day frames at intervals of 1 second, the CP still only synchronizes the time on the CPU once every minute. This means that the time value on the CPU jumps less often.
