1 Automation Task
1.1 Overview
1 Automation Task
1.1 Overview
All new SIMATIC S7-CPUs contain an integrated PROFINET interface which
enables the TCP/IP communication.
The configuration of the TCP/IP communication via this integrated interface is only
possible using the open communication and its function blocks.
The communication blocks FB65 "TCON", FB66 "TDISCON", FB63 "TSEND" and
FB64 "TRCV" are used. The connection description does not occur via a
configuration (in NetPro), therefore the parameters for each connection must be
specified in a data block.

2 Automation Solution
2.1 Overview
2.1 Overview
The Automation solution
Using the “Open Communication Wizard” tool enables simple and clear
specification of the connection parameters. The tool then exports a UDT or a DB
with all parameters of the connection description into your STEP 7 project.
Using the finished data block we then give a simple example project of how the
communication is realized in the S7-300 and S7-400 CPU from a program
technology point of view using the above blocks.
This example project shows the configuration and programming of a
communication relationship between a CPU319 and a CPU419 via the integrated
Ethernet interface and the ISO-on-TCP protocol.
Application areas / customer benefits

The Open Communication Wizard provides the following advantages:
• simplified generation of connection descriptions
• reduced susceptibility to errors
• only offers the required parameters

• existing connections will be uploaded and presented
• overview of the connections can be exported
• an existing connection can be used as template for a new connection (copy)
• an existing connection can be changed (change)
• the OC Wizard is integrated in the SIMATIC Manager and can be called from a
STEP 7 project

6 Operation of the Application
6.1 Functions of the OC Wizard as an overview

All functions of the Open Communication Wizard are described here. The “step by
step” instructions are given in the course of this document.
Generating a new open connection

The Open Communication Wizard enables you to configure new connections. The
connection data is stored directly in your project in a UDT or DB.
Uploading the connections from a STEP 7 project

The Open Communication Wizard can read out the existing open connections from
the STEP 7 project. In STEP 7 the Open Communication Wizard searches the
blocks (UDT, DB) of a station for structures which contain the connection data. The
loaded data can be used for further processing.
Exporting the overview of the uploaded connection

An overview of the uploaded open connection of a station can be saved as *.csv
file. This data can be used for example for your documentation.
Creating data block with connection data

The tool can save the connection data in a global data block. A new block can be
created as well as connection data be attached to an existing block.
Change an existing connection

Uploaded open connections can be changed with the tool. Subsequently, the data
are filed at the same location in the STEP 7 project.
NOTICE NOTICE
The OC Wizard enables you to identify your connections by assigning a
connection name in plain text.
This connection name is saved in some comment lines of the connection
data. These comment lines are not available for other usage!
Note In the overview the connection data are shaded in gray, if these data cannot be
changed. This includes the following:
• Connection data in a UDT. All data blocks in the S7 program which use these UDT
are affected by the changes.
• The connection data in an instance data block. Changing these data may cause time
stamp conflicts.
• Connection data in structures with nesting depth > 1 (e.g.
DB1.TCON.CPU319.TCP.Verb1.block_length…..).
• UDP Connection: Address data is not available, because e.g. in the editor of STEP 7
the block was deleted, copied, modified, ….
OC Wizard
14 V2.3.3, Entrys-ID: 25209116
Generate new connection by means of the copying function

New connections can be generated by copying and changing an uploaded
connection. This facilitates the data input in case of many identical parameters.
Open connection data shaded in gray can be used during copying.
Specifying the connection name

A name can be specified for a connection. This facilitates the clarity in case of
several connections. This connection name is stored in the comment of the data
block.
NOTE This connection name must be unique.

6.2 General information on the dialog masks

Subsequently dialogs of the Open Communication Wizard are described from a
general point of view. This description serves as a supplementation of the step by
step instruction which you find in the further course of the document.
Dialog mask: Welcome

Figure 6-1
The Open Communication Wizard starts with this dialog. Here you find information
on the Open Communication Wizard. Further information on the open
communication is available on the internet.
Dialog mask: STEP 7 project

Figure 6-2
OC Wizard
16 V2.3.3, Entrys-ID: 25209116
The STEP 7 project selected in this dialog as well as the block folder can be
considered as a source station. From this station connection data are uploaded.
After using the “Next” Button the upload of the specified project starts
automatically.
This station is at the same time used as target station, if the details on the STEP 7
project and/or the block folder are not changed in the dialog mask “Select Step 7
project and block folder” in the further course of the configuration.
The tool determines IP addresses of the selected station. These IP addresses can
be considered as local IP addresses.
Note The “STEP 7 project” dialog mask is only provided when directly calling the OC
Wizard from Windows.
When calling the OC Wizard from the SIMATIC Manager the STEP 7 project
and the block folder is automatically transferred from the SIMATIC Manager. The
project and the block folder from which the OC Wizard was called is valid during
the entire processing time and is only transferred new after exiting the OC
Wizard and calling it again. This is the case for the source station as well as for
the target station.
Therefore this mask is not offered when calling from the SIMATIC Manager.
Dialog mask: Upload connections

Figure 6-3
In this dialog the uploaded connections in the overview are represented. Here you
can switch between functions of the Open Communication Wizard.
The upload starts automatically. This gives you an overview of the connections of
the selected station. Furthermore the ID is preassigned with the next free value for
a new connection
The overview can be exported as *.csv file. To do this click “export”.
OC Wizard
V2.3.3, Entry-ID: 25209116 17
The functions “Change” and “Copy” assume the selection of an uploaded

connection in the overview.
When calling the OC Wizard from the SIMATIC Manager the OC Wizard starts with
this dialog. Read back is performed automatically.
Dialog mask: Choose the type of your connection

Figure 6-4
Here you can choose which connection you wish to configure.

This mask is only displayed for the “New” function.
Changing the connection types causes the values to be reset and the dialog masks
to be represented differently.
Open communication via “ISO-on-TCP” and “UDP” is for the S7-300 CPUs only
supported from firmware version V2.4 on.
OC Wizard
18 V2.3.3, Entrys-ID: 25209116
Dialog mask: Communication partner I

Figure 6-5
In this dialog the option “Only communication …” enables you to choose whether
you wish to configure both partners at the same time. This option can be changed
when creating a new “TCP native” or “ISO on TCP” connection. In other cases this
option is defined by the OC Wizard and cannot be changed.
You can also configure these connections individually.
Changing the options causes the values to be reset and the dialog masks to be
represented differently.
Dialog mask: Communication partner II

Figure 6-6
Here you enter connection parameters. Please ensure, that the correct interface
has been selected. Please also note, that rack and slot must be adjusted for S7-
400.
OC Wizard
V2.3.3, Entry-ID: 25209116 19
If you do not enter a connection name, a name which is automatically generated by

the tool is used (in the format “auto_name_x”). The connection name is filed in the
comment.
Changing the options causes the values to be reset and the dialog masks to be
represented differently.
Dialog mask: Connection parameters

Figure 6-7
In this dialog you enter the port number for the connection.
We recommend using a port number from the range 2000 to 5000.
Dialog mask: Chose destination project

Figure 6-8
In the dialog please specify to which project and to which block folder the
generated UDT or DB should be imported. The selected STEP 7 project and the
block folder can in this dialog be considered as target station. These details are
preassigned here.
OC Wizard
20 V2.3.3, Entrys-ID: 25209116
You can accept this preassignment or also specify a different target project or
target folder to which the completed block is compiled and inserted. If you specified
a different target project and after using the “Next” Button a new upload of the
specified project starts automatically.
If a connection is changed (function “Change”), details in this dialog cannot be
changed. The connection data are filed in the same data block and at the same
location.
Assign any block name. When using a symbolic name ensure that the symbolic
name is defined in your S7 program.
The OC Wizard checks whether the specified block already exists in your S7
program. If the block does not yet exist in your S7 program, it will be generated. An
existing data block is analyzed by the OC Wizard and, after a successful analysis,
connection data can be assigned to the data block.
CAUTION The OC Wizard ignores read protection of data blocks. I.e. data blocks will
be overwritten from the OC Wizard. Choose only data blocks without read
protection in OC Wizard.
Note When calling the OC Wizard from the SIMATIC Manager the STEP 7 project
and the block folder is automatically transferred from the SIMATIC Manager. The
project and the block folder from which the OC Wizard was called are shaded in
gray in this mask. The connection configuration created with the OC Wizard is
saved in this block folder.
Dialog mask: Overview

Figure 6-9

6.7 Required steps for connection configuration in UDT
6.7 Required steps for connection configuration in UDT

After the UDT was entered into your STEP 7 project, the UDT must be integrated
into a data block. Generate a new data block for this.
In the data block you generate a new variable of the UDT type (here: UDT120).
The parameters are now default according to your settings and can be used by the
FB65 “TCON“.
Figure 6-11
Note This step is only necessary if connection data are filed in a UDT. Connection
data filed in a data block can be used directly.
