Procedure
The following steps demonstrate how to configure the plant bus:
1. If there is a network connection for CP16x3/CP16x8 in Windows, deactivate the "Client for
Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" protocols in this
network connection, as these two Microsoft protocols are only required at the plant bus.
2. Check the current configuration of your installed network cards with the "communication
settings" tool ("Start > All programs > Siemens Automation > SIMATIC > SIMATIC NET >
Communication settings"). The plant bus is generally configured via the SIMATIC Manager
of your ES and is described in the "Creating and managing a PCS 7 project (Page 43)"
section.
3. Check that the MAC address and the TCP/IP addresses correspond with the planning.
Note
You can find detailed information about configuring the "Plant bus" connection in the "SIMATIC
Process Control System PCS 7 - PC Configuration" (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/
ww/en/view/109485951) manual.
