“FTP” tab
In this dialog, you can create / modify a file allocation table.
With the information in the file allocation table, it is possible to address data blocks
in one or more CPUs (up to 4) in an S7 station.
Ethernet CP as FTP server for S7 CPU data
To transfer data with FTP, create data blocks in the CPU of your S7 station; due to
their special structure, these are known here as file DBs.
When it receives an FTP command, the Ethernet CP as FTP server obtains the
information about how the data blocks used in the S7 station for file transfer are
mapped to files from a file allocation table (file file_db.txt).
You can create the file allocation table as follows and transfer it to the CP:
By entering it in the “FTP” folder described here;
The file allocation table is then downloaded to the CP automatically along with
the project engineering data.
By creating a file_db.txt file directly.
You must then download the file allocation table created in this way to the CP.
The file allocation table file_db.txt is stored in the file system of the Ethernet CP in
the /config folder.
“PROFINET” tab
Here, you specify the properties of the Ethernet CP for PROFINET IO and
PROFINET CBA.
