Assigning or checking the IP address of your programming device using "My Network Places" (on
your desktop)
If you are using Windows 7, you can assign or check your programming device's IP address
with the following menu selections:
● "Start"
● "Control Panel"
● "Network and Sharing Center"
● "Local Area Connection" for the network adapter connected to your CPU
● "Properties"
● In the "Local Area Connection Properties" dialog, in the "This connection uses the
following items:" field:
– Scroll down to "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"
– Click "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)".
– Click the "Properties" button.
– Select "Obtain an IP address automatically (DCP)" or "Use the following IP address"
(to enter a static IP address).
● If you have the "Obtain an IP address automatically" selected you may want to change
the selection to "Use the following IP address" to connect to the S7-1200 CPU:
– Select an IP address on the same subnet as the CPU (
192.168.0
.1).
– Set the IP address to an address with the same Network ID (for example,
192.168.0
.200).
– Select a subnet mask of
255.255.255
.0.
– Leave the default gateway blank.
– This will allow you to connect to the CPU.
Note
The Network Interface Card and the CPU must be on the same subnet to allow STEP
7 to
find and communicate with the CPU.
Consult your IT personnel to help you set up a network configuration to allow you to connect
to the S7-1200 CPU.
