Addressing and network configuration
Address information of the station
The following station information is required for the configuration:
● Station address (DNP3 address) of the station
● Listener port of the station. The master needs the port number to establish the
connection.
● Address of the station
– IP address
or
– Name that can be resolved with DNS
If you use DNS, there must be a DNS server (see below) and this must be reachable
for the module.
● DNS server address(es)
You require the DNS server address if you address the master using a name that can be
resolved by DNS.
● Partner number
Masters that communicate with a station require the partner number of the station in
order to assign the data points to be transferred.
With S7-1200 CPs that can only function as stations, the partner number of the master is
assigned by the system.
Address information of the master
The following information on the master is required for the configuration:
● Station address of the master
● Listener port of a third-party device with the function "Master"
● Address of the master
– IP address
or
– Name that can be resolved with DNS
If you use DNS, there must be a DNS server (see below) and this must be reachable
for the module.
