Mi-k-l Posts: 41 Rating: (1)	Hi all I have a project with devices mentioned above. I would like to configure my network with NetPro. I am doing it with the help S7-CP's Industrial Ethernet Configuring and Commissionning. When I want to creat a new connection, there is a problem. In the help when they go to Insert -> New Connection, they can see there HW configuration in the pop-up window. In my side, I can't see it. In the attachment, you can see my problem. I think I forget to configure one thing in my project. Could somebody help me please? Mi-k-l Attachment net_pro_problem.JPG (1130 Downloads)

Calm_down Posts: 324 Rating: (30)	Hello, well I guess first of all you have to network the Networkinterfaces you have. This has to be done in STEP 7 HW Config, at best. Select the Industrial Ethernet CP, go to Properties. Selct the Networksettings and add a Network, you should see there someting like "not networked". If you have your interface not networked you can not communicate. Stay calm

	I hope that the answer will help, if you have still questions, don't hesitate to ask me. All the best, Late Never say never, think in solutions, not in trouble......

I found the following example within the Product Support. Sample program for the SEND-RECEIVE interface with the FC5 (AG_SEND) and FC6 (AG_RECV) blocks for S7-300 Have a look at it. There you can also see, that you have to configure your network in NetPro. Sabine

I would like to transfert my DB in the CPU to the CP. Is it a problem of communication or other? As far as I know youonly have communication-connections between CPU-CPU, CPU-PC(Application/OPC/WinCC). PB/IE CPs are gateways between CPU and partner end-point (other CPU or PC). Why you try to figure out how to communicate between CPU and CP on the same rack? Dec

Mi-k-l Posts: 41 Rating: (1)	Hi Calm and Dec, In fact, Calm is right. I would like to put my data in the advanced. In my project, I have to send a DB in the CP to allow somebody to get back this information. To begin, I have wanted to write several code line in the CP343-1 Ad. But I can't. So I thought to send my DB to the CP. But I don't arrive there. Then, with this DB in the CP, I would like to get back the DB in .dat. Isn't it? Finally, I take the .dat file to open it with excel. But it is an other history Mi-k-l

Calm_down Posts: 324 Rating: (30)	Hello Mi-k-l, well, first of all, you can not put any code to the CP anyway, I am sorry. If you want to store date to the FTP Server you will have to use FTP Functions on the CPU, to use this you need a TCP Connection that has the option FTP Connection directed to your local CP. It will not work any other way. Stay calm.

Mi-k-l Posts: 41 Rating: (1)	Hi everybody Having read documents, I am trying to transfert my datas. I configured my network. I use a TCP connection, as Calm and others said. Actually, I use the AG_send function. For the moment, I test slowly each function , but, for this first test, you guest: It doesn't work! The Ag_send me back the error 8090: I don't found it in the online help. Regards, Mi-k-l

Calm_down Posts: 324 Rating: (30)	Hello, this is strange, because I checked the Onlinehelp and found: Done; Error; Status 0 1 8090H ·No module with this base address exists. ·The FC does not match your system family (remember to use different FCs for S7-300 and S7-400) V5.0 SP3 Have you checked this?

Mi-k-l Posts: 41 Rating: (1)	It is not strange!! I am too bad ! I found it. (Do not think that the forum is for everything there; I have to look well by myself at first, sorry) I need an update . Communication between two modules in the same station is possible (from the CPU to the CP): I have to use FC5 and FC6 with a TCP connection, isn't it? I can also use FTP-function just for put datas on the server with the aim to take datas from the internet. But In both cases, I have to do a configuration in Netpro. To begin, I wanted to do almost the same matter than the example. So I copied the configuration. The difference between the example and me are that I use a FC to call AG_send and my IP address (I kept the original because I use plc-sim). Regards, Mi-k-l

Calm_down Posts: 324 Rating: (30)	Hello, well, you are right, if you want to do FTP you need the adequate FTP Functions and you will have to follow the Steps, true. Make sure that you have both, the FC 5 / 6 and the FTP Functions in the PLC Program, because the FTP Functions work with the SEND / RECEIVE FCs. If you have the TCP Connection, configured with the FTP Functionality you have to prepare the DBs for the Connection configuration. If you have these DBs you have to enter the IP Address of your local CP in it and you have access to the FTP Server on the CP itself. It is not really difficult. Stay calm. If you need assistance contact the Customer Support.They will help for a short time for free, if it does not take more than an hour, what it should not, you will get help. And do not forget, this works only with PLCs not with PLCSIM!

Mi-k-l Posts: 41 Rating: (1)	Hi I am back There are some news. I have A PLC, the s7-416 2DP associated with a CP443-1. I am trying to establish a communication FTP between both device. First of all, I did the configuration of my network, between my station S7-400 and my computer (according to the post before, I have FC50 and FC60 in the program). I use FTP function: FTP_CONNECT. First, is it a good idea? now, I transfered my program in the PLC. When I execute the funcion, the pin ACT does not passed from 1 to 0 with a constant frequency. It is not normal. In the Online help, I saw that it advice us to not use the pin ACT to call the function but a conditionnal execution. Now, I use all the same the ACT. What you advise me? Bests regards, Michael

Hello,

I am sorry, but the CP 443-1 EX02 is really old. This CP does not support any IT Functionality, including FTP Functions. As you see in the HW Config of STEP 7 does this CP not support FTP, HTTP or E-Mail at all.
What you would need is one of the following CPs of the S7-400.

CP 443-1 IT	6ES7 443-1GX00-0XE0
CP 443-1 IT	6ES7 443-1GX10-0XE0
CP 443-1 IT	6ES7 443-1GX11-0XE0
CP 443-1 Advanced	6ES7 443-1GX40-0XE0
CP 443-1 Advanced	6ES7 443-1GX41-0XE0

in the S7-300 this would be:

CP 343-1 IT	6ES7 343-1GX00-0XE0
CP 343-1 IT	6ES7 343-1GX11-0XE0
CP 343-1 Advanced	6ES7 343-1GX20-0XE0
CP 343-1 Advanced	6ES7 343-1GX21-0XE0

I hope this will help a bit.

Best regards

And to test these functions, I use a s7-400 with CP 443-1. I though that the CP had the IT functions!!! I mixed the two stations!!!! I wasted a lot of time!! lol Regards, Mi-k-l

Mi-k-l Posts: 41 Rating: (1)	Hi all I have news! My devices are on my desk! I have this congiguration: CPU 315 2DP CP 343-1 Advanced I Can read my CP with a FTP connection. It is working. Today, I have put several html pages in my CP. but I cannot access with my Web browser. May I use the fucntion AG_send/recv? Because I think I have to use them only to communicate between two stations (for example) but not between two devices on the same rack! Regards, Mi-k-l

J_Bell Posts: 5822 Rating: (412)	Hello, please let me ask some questions. 1. You put some HTML Pages on the CP, did you use a FTP Client program and if yes can you see the Pages in the FTP Area with this Client Program? 2. How do you call the page in the Browser? 3. What do you want to do with the Send / Receive Functions? If you want to do FTP you have to configure a TCP Connection with the FTP Option selected. Additionally you have to use the FTP Functions and FTP Structure for the DBs used.... but I mentioned that already. Besides, the Send Receive Functionsare also required for the FTP Functions... just to be said. So what do you want to do? Best regards J_Bell

Mi-k-l Posts: 41 Rating: (1)	HI, I will answer to you: 1. I use a FTP client program called Filezilla and I see my HTML pages. news: I can reach the CP's files via IE wiith the FTP. 2. According to all documents I have read, I write in the address area : http://"my CP's IP address"/"the page's name".htm You can note that I cannot open the example which are already in the CP. 3. At the beginning, I thought that the FC5 and FC6 must to be used to have my FTP connection. That's why, I tried to use them. I used well the FTP functions (connect -> store -> quit). Finally, my aim is: open my HTML page on IE or a HTML page example. Best regards, Mi-k-l

J_Bell Posts: 5822 Rating: (412)	Dear Mi-k-l, if I understand you right you try the following: If your IP Address of the CP is 192.168.0.1 than you have http://192.168.0.1/index.htm than you should see the picture like the one shown on the Picture I add to this Post. If you can not reach the CP at all please check the following: 1. Can you reach the CP with a Ping? 2. If yes, check the Settings for the Proxy Servers and add the setting that local Addresses will not be checked by the Proxy. 3. Add the Address of the CP in your Security Settings of the IE as Trusted Site. 4. If all that does not help... use Firefox! Best regards J_Bell Attachment 02_Web_View_DynDNS.jpg (787 Downloads)

Mi-k-l Posts: 41 Rating: (1)	Dear J_Bell, Thank you very much for all tour advices! It's working I have just few questions: 1-/ In your last advice of your last post, you said :" use Firefox". I would like to inform you I configured FFox as IE without checking local addresses by the Proxy server. 2-/ For go farther, I would like that my Web site is accessible everywhere I could be connected on Internet. What sould I do? Because this solution (disable the proxy's checking) works only on my local computer, isn't it? 3-/ Are functions AG_SEND and AG_RECV really indispensable? Because on my program, AG_SEND function is running but the AG_RECV send me back the error 8184h, so it (ag_recv) doesn't work. Greetings, Michael

J_Bell Posts: 5822 Rating: (412)	Dear Michael, it is good to hear that it is working now. To answer your additional Questions: To get this to work from everywhere in the World you have some possibilities to solve this. 1. You can use your Internet connection and you use DynDNS to get a DNS Name that changes with your IP Address. The Router is forwarding the Port 80 (HTTP)or 20/21 (FTP) to the CP and you can access the CP. The screenshot I sent you shows something like this. It is from a Document I am working on explaining Port Forwarding. 2. You use VPNs. Than you can access safely the whole Network from remote. The Port Forwarding is not save, VPN is save. It allows you complete Access to the whole Network. This should be it. Please make sure that your Internet Access allows enough Traffic, DSL is recommendable. Best regards J_Bell
