Driver dialog Conn. TCP/IP

Conn. file

Selected configuration file

Connection list

Displays the connection names with the corresponding hardware addresses. By selecting the connection name with the mouse the connection parameters are displayed.

Net Address

Corresponds with the net address of the variable definition.

Connection name

Freely definable name

Remote IP address (primary)

Depending on the settings of the S7 TCP CP

Remote IP address (alternative)

If you fill out this field, the driver will try to connect to this address after every failed connection attempt and then stick with this alternative address until it can no longer be reached or until the Runtime is restarted (for redundant networks with two communication processors in one PLC and two network cards in the zenon computer).

Local TSAP

TSAP for this station
It consists of exactly two groups (bytes). Each group is built from two hexadecimal characters, and the two groups are separated by a blank or a dot.
First group: It can contain a device identification
Second group: It is always 0;
Recommended setting "01.00"

Example settings:
01.00 = PD communicates directly with the connected SIMATIC components

Remote TSAP

TSAP for the partner station (S7 CPU)
It consists of exactly two groups (bytes). Each group is built from two hexadecimal characters, and the two groups are separated by a blank or a dot.

First group: It contains the device identifications, for which resources are reserved in the SIMATIC-S7. Possible device identifications:
01 = PD
02 = OM(Operating & Monitoring)
03 = Other

Second group: It contains the addressing of the SIMATIC station, with which a communication should be established.
Divided into:
(Bit 7..5) = Rack (Subsystem)
(Bit 4..0) = Slot of the CPU
(Attention: do not enter the slot of the communication processor here but rather the slot of the CPU, on which the PLC program runs; most of the time this is Slot 2)

Sample configuration: 02.43 = OS communicates via the SIMATIC with the assembly group in rack 2, slot 3.
Rule for rack/slot group:
Left character = rack * 2
Right character = slot

Special case: If the device connected to the net is addressed directly, the group contains 00.
The remote TSAP can be read directly from the Hardware Manager without the risk of misinterpretations from the label on the device.

Communication with S7 200:
The local and the remote TSAP must have the same entry.
Local TSAP=11.00
Remote TSAP=11.00

For CPUs of the company Vipa:
Speed 7 CPU 315 2AG10: RemoteTSAP: 02.02

CPU uses GMT for ALARM-S

If you activate this option, the time handed over by the ALARM-S object will be interpreted as GMT. Activate this option if the PLC sends the time stamp of the ALARM-S message in the format GMT.
