Installing and Starting the Ethernet CP with STEP 7
2.2.5“Substitute Objects” in the STEP 7 Project
Overview
Communication connections can be configured fully when the communications partners are available in the current project. For the stations on the Ethernet subnet, whose configuration data were not created in STEP 7 or whose configuration data are not managed in the currently active project, the following substitute objects can be created in the project:
SSIMATIC S5 stations
SPG/PC
SOther stations
–for devices of other manufacturers
–for SIMATIC S7 stations in another project (not necessary in a multiproject)
Note
Instead of creating substitute objects, you can also configure unspecified connections for connections to the stations listed above.
In the Properties dialog of these connections, you must then specify the full partner address. These partners do not appear in the NetPro plant view.
