Glossary

ISO Transport Connection

Communication connection of the transport layer (with the CP/COM 143 previously S5S5 connection).

ISO transport connections allow program/event-controlled communication on Industrial Ethernet between SIMATIC S7 PLCs and

SSIMATIC S7 PLC with Ethernet CP

SSIMATIC S5 with an Ethernet CP (e.g. CP 143 or CP 1430)

SPC/PG with Ethernet CP (for example CP 1613)

SAny system using the ISO transport protocol (ISO 8073)

The transfer of blocks of data on an ISO transport connection is bi-directional.

MAC address

Address to distinguish between different stations connected to a common trans- mission medium (Industrial Ethernet).

Media Access Control (MAC)

Mechanisms for controlling access by a station to a common transmission medi- um shared with other stations.

RFC1006

see ISO-on-TCP

S5S5 connection

see ISO transport connection

Subnet mask

The subnet mask specifies which parts of an IP address are assigned to the net- work number. The bits in the IP address whose corresponding bits in the subnet mask have the value 1 are assigned to the network number.

Subnet number

A –> system consists of several –> subnets with unique subnet numbers.
