Installing and Starting the Ethernet CP with STEP 7

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.

Set the PG/PC interface according to the CPs available on your PG and

 

 

according to the bus attachment (interface parameter assignment used).

For more detailed information, refer to the integrated help system.

3.

Change the CPU to the STOP mode (regardless of the type of interface – see

 

 

 

above).

 

4.

Select the menu command PLC " Download to Module.

STEP 7 then guides you through dialog boxes. Note the additional information in the “STEP 7 User Manual”, Chapter “Configuring and Assigning Parameters to Modules” /6/.

Deactivating the MAC Address in the Configuration

If you deactivate the use of the MAC address when you are configuring the CP, the CP can be reached via the preset MAC address, however you cannot define any ISO transport connections or S7 connections over ISO connections in your configuration.

Saving the Configuration Data in Non-Volatile Memory

You can download the configuration data step-by-step or all at once. If you download step-by-step, you will be prompted to start the download function separately for each module. You must select this method if you want to save the configuration data in non-volatile memory on the Ethernet CP. In this case, select the “Copy to ROM” button in the “Download” dialog for the CP.

Downloading the Configured Connections

To download configured connections, you use a corresponding download function in the connection configuration (NetPro).

Notice

If you have assigned a new address to the Ethernet CP or have configured connections, you must always download the connection configuration again.

Remember that you also make suitable address adaptations for the other stations or “substitute objects”.
