Tech Note 316

Configure DAS S7 Server in Windows® 2000/XP via CP1613 Interface over TCP Connection All Tech Notes and KBC D documents and software are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. See the Terms of Use for more information. Topic#: 001123 C reated: July 2003

Requirement The Simatic Net V6.1 SP1 is required for Windows XP, and Simatic Net V6.0 SP2 or higher (current release SP5 recommended) is required for support of the Windows 2000 operating system.

Assumptions • The CP1613 card is detected by Plug-And-Play and the proper driver has been installed from the Simatic Net Softnet installation CD (7/2001); • The DAS S7 Server has been properly installed.

Part I: Configure Simatic Net Softnet for CP1613 Card This part explains 4 configuration components in following sequence: 1.1 Configuration Console. 1.2 Station Configuration Editor. 1.3 Commissioning Wizard 1: PC Station Configuration. 1.4 Commissioning Wizard 2: Network (NetPro) Configuration. If you follow this sequence step by step, the configuration process is very straightforward.

1.1. Configuration Console 1. From Windows Start menu, navigate to find the Configuration Console as shown in the Figure 1 (Start/SIMATIC/SIMATIC NET/Settings/Configuration Console):

F IGURE 1: START...C ONFIGURATION C ONSOLE 2. Select Configuration Console. The Configuration Console window appears (Figure 2 below):

F IGURE 2: C ONFIGURATION C ONSOLE WINDOW 3. Highlight Access points and double-click. The Access point list appears in the right-hand pane (Figure 3 below). 4. Select CP_H1_1 from the access points list (arbitrary). 5. Right-click CP_H1_1 and select Properties from the sub-menu. The Access Points Properties windows will appear. 6. Open the Associated interface parameter assignment: drop-down list to select the desired device. For this tech note, we select the CP1613(RFC1006) item:

F IGURE 3: PROPERTIES/CP1613(RFC1006)

Note: The Simatic Net installation provides all the drivers for supported CP cards. The Plug_N_Play will recognize the card once it is inserted in the machine and automatically search and install the proper driver from the Simatic Net Softnet driver's folder. CP1613 comes with two drivers: ISO and RFC1006. Both should be included/visible in the drop-down list at this point. If you cannot see these drivers, you will need to manually install them. You will need to access the Simatic Net CD for the system to locate the specific driver on the CD.

7. Double-click CP1613(RFC1006). It will appear in the ...parameter assignment field (See Figure 3). 8. Click OK to complete the Access point configuration and return to the Configuration Console window. Note: This procedure used to be done in PG-PC interface. Since the PG-PC Interface option is still available (See Figure 1), one can use either method to configure the access point. 9. Locate the CP1613 card under Modules and select General. The General Module Properties pane appears:

F IGURE 4: GENERAL MODULE PROPERTIES 10. The Mode of the module usually defaults to PG operation, so you will need to change it to Configured mode as shown in the previous figure. 11. Click Apply to accept the change. You may see a message pop up as shown in Figure 5 (below):

STATION PROMPT

12. Click OK. This concludes the Configuration Console setup process. Note: There are 2 options for 1613: ISO or RFC 1006 (ISO on TCP). ISO uses the Mac (hw address) and ISO Protocol to establish communication to CP1613. RFC 1006 uses ISO on TCP, which is basically using ISO protocol embedded within a TCP/IP message frame. You need to decide which one to use: the Mac or TCP/IP address with the CP1613. If you use the MAC / ISO then you will select 1613 ISO. If you use the TCP/IP Address then you will select 1613 RFC 1006 in you Access Point Assignment.

1.2 Station Configuration Editor 1. From the lower right hand corner of your desktop window, locate the computer GUI and click on it. The Station Configuration Editor window will appear as shown in Figure 6 (below). With completion of the Configuration Console setup, you will see the CP1613 card occupies the first https://wdnresource.wonderware.com/support/kbcd/html/1/t001123.htm

The new entry Application now occupies the Index 2 space. Notice the status of a pencil head with red X. This means this entry is not yet configured correctly (Figure 9 below):

F IGURE 9: INDEX 2 STATUS We will configure the connection for the Application in the next section. This concludes Section 1.2.

1.3 Commissioning Wizard 1: PC Station Configuration 1. From the Windows Start button, select Commissioning Wizard as shown in Figure 1. 2.

F IGURE 12: PC C ONFIGURATION WINDOW Note: The PC Station name displayed in this window caption (at top) is GARYTEST03. Garytest03 is the computer name that being used for creating this tech note; when you completed the steps in the first section (Configuration Console), the PC Station name was automatically created with the computer name as default. This is also mapped to the Station Configuration Editor. If the user decided to use other name for the PC station name, it can be done by creating a new project by selecting Station from the main menu, then New. By completing Configuration Console setup in section 1, and adding the Application from Station Configuration Editor in Section 1.2, the CP1613 and Application entries should appear in the Index window of the PC configuration. 8. Select the CP1613 entry from the Index table as shown above. 9. Double-click the entry to display the CP1613 Properties window. 10. From within the Properties - CP1613 window, click the Properties… button. The Ethernet Interface CP1613 (RO/S1) dialog box appears (Figure 13 below):

11. Enter the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway address information accordingly. If there is no entry in the Subnet pane, click the New button to create an Ethernet subnet Ethernet(1), and accept all default options for the Ethernet(1) Properties. 12. Click the OKs to exit the dialog boxes and complete the CP1613 property setup. Note: The IP address you enter here is the CP1613 card address. This IP address is arbitrary but usually needs to be in the same subnet as the PLC IP address. Make sure all the IP addresses are unique. If you need to use an IP address that is in a different subnet, you may need to provide the gateway IP address that resolves the connectivity of multiple subnets. Wonderware strongly recommends that the industrial Ethernet LAN be isolated from the corporate LAN. In other words, use a separate router, hub or switch device for the corporate LAN and Process Control LAN. 13. Select Station/Save and Compile to validate the properties configuration (see Figure 14 below):

F IGURE 34: ADD TOPIC You should create at least one topic for each PLC to which you are trying to connect. And at least one topic needs to be created under the Device Groups. This completes the DAS S7 server configuration. Once the DAS S7 configuration is done, the sever needs to be activated for the configuration to take effect. 16. Right-click ArchestrA.DASS7 (as shown in Figure 35), and select Activate Server:

F IGURE 35: ACTIVATE SERVER When the server is activated, a little green check symbol will appear by the server icon instead of a little red X. Finally, you can test your configuration by using the WWClient utility (Program Files/Wonderware/Common). Figures 36 and 37 (below) show the result of testing for the creation of this tech note:
