Dear Experts Good day. referring to this topic, we are actually trying to do the same thing as Tomy but in our case we are trying to connect 2 TP700 comfort panels (via TIA V16) to a single CPU224XP (v02.01) PLC via CP243-1. What we found from our initial testing is that for the first connection, we set it to accept any incoming connection and checked the box saying "This server will connect with an OP)". With this configuration, only one panel will work at one time with local TSAP 02.00 and remote TSAP 02.00. we then proceed to create the second connection but the in the second connection the checkbox "This server will connect with an OP" is greyed out and the TSAP for the server is fixed to 11.00. According to the S7-200 manual, for OP to connect to PLC it must be set to 02.00 and 02.00. So we got confused now i.e. actually can S7-200 PLC handle 2 OP connections or more via ethernet? and if it can then how should the configuration be set? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Hi Ivan Thanks for your reply and sorry that i did not provide enough information on the configuration part. for the comfort panels we did use TIA to configure them. while for the CPU224XP, we are configuring it using MicroWin V4.0. the part you mentioned is actually under the microwin software. from the attached video you can see that i am trying to configure 2 connections in microwin via the ethernet wizard. in the first connection settings i have set the connection as a server connection and checked the box "This server will connect to OP". the local TSAP is locked to 02.00 and by default the remote TSAP is 02.00 as well but it is changeable. then for the second connection, when i set the connection to be a server connection, the "This server will connect to OP" is grayed out. the default local TSAP is set to 11.00 while the remote TSAP is set to 10.00.

Hi Ivan I agreed that normally for HMI to connect to PLC you only need to set the connections parameter over in the HMI configuration SW in which my case is the TIA. actually why we did such a thing is because we followed the instruction from the page below: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/cl/en/view/19724696 another point to add is that if we are connecting the touch panel using serial connection such as MPI then i think we really do not need to do anything on the PLC side. but because in this case the CP243-1 is an external module and need to be configure in the MicronWin SW for the PLC to detect it and it has the wizard for adding the connection. so we figure we might need to perform the configuration. Perhaps later i could try to remove the connections from the PLC and try to connect my touch panel to see if it can establish connection between them. thanks for the input again. Best regards |

Hello, somehow still is strange to me what you sent me because somehow I feel something different. Ok. Here is maybe some other tip what is similar to my one. S7-200 with Comfort Panel via CP243-1 Again pls check also this link: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/14188898/which-hmi-components-can-you-connect-with-s7-200-cpu-and-what-should-you-watch-out-for-when-doing-so-?dti=0&lc=en-WW I think better you need call Support and return here with news, appreciated of course for your info. Simply if Wizard is recommended as Server settings for ETH connection, really don't have idea now about requirements and differents in case of use new Comfort panels. |
