SIMATIC NET NCM S7 for Industrial Ethernet
C79000-G8976-C129–06
ISO Transport Connection
see ISO–on–TCP
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 1413)
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 me-
dium shared with other stations.

Subnet mask
The subnet mask specifies which parts of an IP address are assigned to the net-
work number (see ISO-on-TCP). 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.
