1.3 Other services and properties
Other services and properties
● Data point configuration
Due to the data point configuration in STEP 7, programming program blocks in order to
transfer the process data is unnecessary. The individual data points are processed one-
to-one in the control system.
● IP configuration
The CP is assigned a dynamic or a fixed IP address by the mobile wireless network
provider:
– Dynamic IP address
– Fixed IP address
14
When using telecontrol communication, the mobile wireless network provider generally
assigns the CP a dynamic IP address. You set this in STEP 7 in the parameter group
"Ethernet interface > Ethernet addresses".
To use S7 communication or to receive data via Open User Communication, the CPU
must be reachable via a fixed IP address. In this case, enter the fixed IP address
assigned by the mobile wireless network provider in the same parameter group.
