6.1 Diagnostics options
The following means are available for diagnostics:
• Ping server:
The "ping" program, which is available on all standard computers with, for ex-
ample, a Windows operating system by Microsoft, can be used to determine
whether a CP 243-1 is basically available under a certain address that can be
entered.
• STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32:
Under the "Information ..." entry in the "Target system" menu, you can retrieve
general information on your S7-200 system. This includes information on which
modules are connected to your S7-200 system. When you select the "CP 243-1
ETHERNET" module by double-clicking on this entry in the module overview, a
window appears that contains the following specific information on your
CP 243-1:
• General module information (module type, version in use)
• TCP/IP address parameters (IP address, subnet mask, IP address of the
Gateway, MAC address). The values presented here are invalid if a configu-
ration error occurs and the system then boots via the BOOTP mechanism.
The same applies if the user program has not run through at least one cycle.
• Status messages
• Information on the embedding of the CP 243-1 in the S7-200 CPU memory
address space
• Configuration and status of the channels
• Error messages
• Reading out of the SM memory area:
CP 243-1-specific information can also be read out from the SM area cur-
rently being used by the CP (see Table 2) and processed during runtime by
an S7-200 user program. If global errors occur in a CP 243-1, the associated
error codes are found in this area. The storage location of the information is
provided below.
