Programmed communication connections 
6.12.1
 
Programmed communication connections with FB55 IP_CONFIG 
Downloading the configuration using FB55 IP_CONFIG 
IP_CONFIG allows programcontrolled transfer of the configuration data. 
 
Note 
If the CP is in PG STOP mode and the configuration is downloaded using IP_CONFIG, the 
CP then changes automatically to RUN.
 
 
Programmed communications connections - assigning parameters to the ports 
The CP supports the following settings when assigning parameters to the ports in the 
parameter block for TCP connections and UDP connections: 
●  SUB_LOC_PORT parameter 
The port can be specified as an option when the connection is established actively. 
●  SUB_REM_PORT parameter 
The port can be specified as an option when the connection is established passively. 
 
IP access protection with programmed communication connections 
In principle, it is possible to set up communications connections using program block 
IP_CONFIG (FB55) by programming and at the same time by configuring IP access 
protection. 
When configuring specified connections (active endpoints) in STEP 7, the IP addresses of 
the partners are entered automatically in the IPACL (IP Access Control List). 
Communications connections programmed with FB55 are also entered in the ACL as of 
firmware version V3.0. 
Please note the following point: 
 
Note 
The IP addresses of partners with unspecified connections (passive end points) are not 
entered in the IP
ACL. Communication with unspecified nodes is only possible when IP 
access protection is enabled if the IP addresses were entered previously in the ACL during 
configuration.
 
How to configure IP access protection is described in the general part of this manual /1/ 
(Page 71).
