Local TSAP

TSAP for this station

First group: It can contain a device identification

Second group: It always is 0

Recommended setting "01.00"

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, where also the PLC program runs; most of the time this is Slot 2.)

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.
