Properties of a A communication connection permits program-controlled communication

Connection with the following properties between two nodes on the Industrial Ethernet:
• Data transfer is bidirectional, i.e. data can be sent and received at the
same time via the connection.
• The two nodes have equal rights, i.e. either node can initiate Send or
Receive activities as events demand.
• The address of the communication partner is specified by configuration
In the case of a "free UDP connection", the address is specified at the
FC interface in the user program.
Data Volume and For the number of communication connections supported by each Ethernet
Number of CP please refer to the chapter on the hardware of the Ethernet CP or to the
Connections product information supplied with the Ethernet CP. You can increase the number
of connections per station by adding more CPs.
The Ethernet CP can send and receive the following number of bytes per job and
connection.
ISO Transport, ISO-on-TCP and TCP
• up to 8192 bytes
UDP
• up to 2048 bytes

Training Center
Functions of the Ethernet CP
The Ethernet CP performs the following functions for handling data transfer
via a connection:
• Receives data from the Ethernet and passes it on to the user data area in
the CPU.
• Accepts data from the user data area in the CPU and sends it via Ethernet.
The connection is established automatically as soon as the partner is accessible.
For free UDP connections it also performs the following functions:

• Receiving
Enters the partner addresses (sender addresses) in the job header
• Sending
Evaluates the job header and addresses the partner

Overview For S7 communication connections the Ethernet CP has the task of sending and
receiving data via Ethernet and exchanging data with the user program in the S7
CPU.
Requirements The Ethernet CP must be configured with the rest of the hardware, entered in the
hardware configuration and connected to the Ethernet subnet.
As a network node, the Ethernet CP must have an address.
Note: All stations outside the project must be represented in the configuration by
dummy objects, e.g. “SIMATIC S5” or “Other Station”
or
you must select "Unspecified" as the type of partner when creating the
connection.

Connection
Partner To configure a connection to a station outside a project, e.g. to a non-Siemens
device, you can select a station of the type "Other Station", "SIMATIC S5" or
"PG/PC" as the connection partner.
Connections to stations of these types are generated as partially unspecified

connections. This means that the entries for the remote TSAP or port are
missing.
The details of these connections must be specified in the Properties dialog.

Training Center

Date: 01.09.1999
Connection
Partner You configure connections with a device which is not yet known (e.g. diagnostics
device) as "(Unspecified)" connections. You can specify the details later in the
Properties dialog.
Connections of this type can be used in two ways:
- Passive connection establishment

Connection establishment must be set to passive.
When setting the addresses, e.g. for an ISO-on-TCP connection, you set the
remote IP address to 0.0.0.0 and leave the remote TSAP blank, that is neither of
these addresses is relevant for the CP.
A connection can then be established with any partner that addresses the CP
using its correct IP address and TSAP.
Partial specification is also possible, that is the CP can communicate with a
partner which has either the specified IP address or the specified TSAP.
- Connection to a particular station in any project

When setting the addresses, e.g. for an ISO-on-TCP connection, you specify the
remote IP address and port of a partner station either inside or outside the
current STEP 7 project.
You can use this method for partner stations for which no dummy object has
been created in the current project.

Address Parameters A connection is defined by specifying its local and remote end points.
• Local addresses:
Local MAC address and local TSAP
(Transport Service Access Point)
• Remote addresses:
Remote MAC address and remote TSAP
The address parameters are assigned with NCM S7 and stored in the CP
database. This enables changes or extensions to the Ethernet network topology
to be made without affecting the user program in the CPU.
Note
When configuring the Ethernet CPs in the local and destination stations, the
TSAPs of an ISO transport connection must be reversed:
Remote TSAP (on CP in local station) = local TSAP (in destination station);
Local TSAP (on CP in local station) = remote TSAP (in destination station);

Training Center
Addresses Tab (1)

Date: 01.09.1999
Addresses Tab The Addresses tab page gives suggested values for the relevant local and
remote addresses. In the case of connections with “non-S7 stations” you can set
the TSAPs individually.

Training Center
Addresses Tab (2)

Date: 01.09.1999
TSAP Format ISO transport connections have a TSAP length of between 1 and 32 bytes. The
current length is automatically displayed on entry (visible display: 20 ASCII
characters). Both local and remote TSAPs can be entered either as a
hexadecimal value or as an ASCII string. If you enter in ASCII, the characters
you enter are also displayed in hexadecimal form. If you enter in hexadecimal,
printable characters are displayed as the ASCII equivalent. If you enter non-
printable characters, the ASCII display becomes gray (ASCII input not possible)
and the non-printable characters appear as a period.
Local and Remote The remote and local TSAPs can be identical because the connection is
TSAPs uniquely identified by the different MAC addresses. If you want to make more
than one connection between two stations, the TSAPs must be different.
Default TSAPs When you are configuring the local and remote TSAPs, default values are
proposed (e.g. “ISO-1” for the first connection between two partners). If more
connections are configured between the same partners, the default values are
automatically incremented (e.g. ISO-2 etc.).
For a new connection with a new partner, the default proposals start again at
ISO-1.

Training Center
Addresses Tab (3)

Date: 01.09.1999
Unspecified If no remote station is specified, this signifies readiness to communicate with

connection any partner.
An unspecified connection must first be entered in the New Connection dialog.
Connection establishment is then passive and the remote address parameters
are missing, i.e. they are not relevant for the Ethernet CP. On establishment of a
connection, any partner that addresses the correct MAC address and the correct
TSAP is accepted.
The dialog box above shows a case of this kind where the remote MAC address
and the remote TSAP are not specified.
If no further entries are made, this indicates that the CP is prepared to make a
connection with any communication partner.

Training Center
Dynamics Tab (1)

Date: 01.09.1999
Dynamics Tab The Dynamics tab page shows the relevant timers and counters of the
connection. You can adopt the defaults.
If necessary (e.g. connections with non-SIMATIC systems) you can adjust the
timers and counters individually and change the dynamic behavior of the
connection.

Retransmission The retransmission time specifies the interval after which

Time an unsuccessful attempt at establishing a connection is to
be repeated (1 - 60 s, default 5 s)
- If connection establishment is active Modifiable
- If connection establishment is passive (-> irrelevant) Read only
Data Transfer
Retransmission This parameter specifies the interval after which an Modifiable

Time unsuccessful transmission attempt should be repeated
(100 - 30000 ms, default 1000 ms).
Max. Count The maximum count is the number of transmission attempts Modifiable
including the first attempt (1 - 100, default 5).
Inactivity Time The inactivity time specifies the interval after which the Modifiable
connection is to be cleared if no further sign of life is
received from the partner
(6 - 180 s, default 30 s).
Window Time The window time specifies the interval for sending sign-of- Read only
life frames. The window time is fixed at 1/3 of the inactivity
time for SIMATIC NET CPs (2 - 60 s, default 10 s). Sign-of-
life frames are sent in order to be able to check the connection
for transmission of frames even when there is no data traffic.

Training Center
Dynamics Tab (3)

Date: 01.09.1999
The partner station sends a frame in response to a sign-of-life frame. Sign-of-life

frames are sent to the partner station at intervals specified by the window time. In
order to prevent connections from being cleared unnecessarily, the inactivity time
should be at least three times as long as the window time.

Operating Modes If the following operating modes are selected for the transport connection, the
system memory areas in the SIMATIC S7 can be accessed direct from a
SIMATIC S5 or non-SIMATIC station.
The connection can then only be used in this mode. It is no longer possible to
transmit or receive using the FCs AG_SEND/AG_LSEND and
AG_RECV/AG_LRECV.
Connection establishment is passive (see setting on "General" tab page). This

means that the connection can only be established by the partner station
(SIMATIC S5 or non-SIMATIC station).
FETCH Direct read access to system memory areas in the SIMATIC S7
WRITE Direct write access to system memory areas in the SIMATIC S7
Connections The FETCH and WRITE operating modes are supported by ISO and ISO-on-
TCP connections.
Note If you configure this operating mode for a SIMATIC S7-300, it takes up a
connection resource (free connection for S7 functions) of the S7-300 CPU.

A free UDP connection permits program-controlled addressing of the

communication partner. Communication between two nodes features the
following properties:
Data transfer is bidirectional, i.e. data can be sent and received at the same
time via the UDP connection
The local station is fixed in the configuration. The partner is entered in the
job header of the job buffer when an AG_SEND call in the user program is
executed. This enables any node in the network to be accessed.
The IP address and the port of the sender can be read from the job header
for the AG_RECV block.
Data Volume Up to 2042 bytes of user data can be transmitted in each job buffer.
The job header takes up another 6 bytes.
