CP 243-1
8 J31069-D0428-U001-A1-7618
The CP 243-1 software is compatible with the following standards:
• S7 XPUT/XGET and S7 READ/WRITE
• S7-200 I/O bus specifications
Planning
The CP 243-1 is configured using STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32, version 3.2.1. or higher.
The CP 243-1 is always delivered with a fixed MAC address. The IP address and
the subnet mask either must be configured or they must be retrieved from a
BOOTP server via the BOOTP protocol. For the purpose of monitoring connections
(Keep Alive), a time can be configured for all TCP transport connections with active
and passive partners. A total of 8 connections to other controllers can be main-
tained at any one time.
Programming
To program the communication in the user program, use the "Ethernet Wizard" in
STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32; see Chapters 4 and 5.
Configuration
The CP 243-1 firmware is programmed into the Flash memory during production
and is permanently stored there.
System conditions or dynamic variable contents that are generated during
CP 243-1 operation do not survive a loss of power.
The CP 243-1 is configured with STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32, version 3.2.1 or higher,
and the configuration is stored in the DB of the S7-200 CPU as non-volatile data.
Upon booting, the CP 243-1 reads the configuration out of the CPU and initializes
itself accordingly.
