S7-1200 CPU 12xx -- Setting up and parameterizing hardware -- Initializing and parameterizing

modules

Which settings do you have to make in the TIA Portal to read out messages and status information over the CPU's

web server and display them in the web browser?

What is the meaning of the system constants in STEP 7 (TIA Portal) with S7-1200/1500?

How can the CPU analog inputs of the SIMATIC S7-1200 also measure currents of 0-20mA?

How can you access user-defined web pages of the S7-1200 directly?

How do you have the web pages updated automatically in STEP 7 (TIA Portal) and how do you incorporate the user-

defined web pages with relative path names?

How do you program the "GET" and "PUT" instructions in the user program of the SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU in order to

transfer more than 160 bytes of data?

Why must you never remove a memory card when the S7-300/S7-400/S7-1200 CPU is in operation (RUN)?

How in STEP 7 (TIA Portal) can you access the unstructured data types bit-by-bit, byte-by-byte or word-by-word

and symbolically?

How does startup work in an S7-1200?

What is the connection between subnet masks and IP addresses with regard to subnetting and supernetting

(Classless Inter Domain Routing CIDR)?

How can you prevent data loss of runtime-generated parameters when updating your S7-1200 PLC program?

How can you share runtime-generated parameters between several S7-1200 PLCs with a KTP Basic Panel?

How can you change the IP address of an S7-1200 without us ing STEP 7 Bas ic?

How can you delete the IP address and reset your S7-1200 to factory settings using the SIMATIC MC memory card

(2MB or 24MB)?

How can you download to a network of several S7-1200 PLCs with the same IP address?

How can you reset the IP address of your S7-1200 PLC using STEP 7 Basic software?

How can you change the IP address of an S7-1200 without using STEP 7 Basic?

Display part number

Descript ion

The S7-1200 tool enables you to specify the IP address of one or several S7-1200 CPUs without using

the STEP 7 Basic software.

This tool is particularly useful for mass filling; if, for example, you download a project by means of a

memory card to multiple CPUs in a network and then have to change the IP address for each CPU.

Sett ing the PG/PC interface

No.

1. Click the "PG/PC Interface" button.

Fig. 01

2. 1. Select the access point below for the application: "S7IPTool".

2. For "Interface Parameter Assignment Used:" you select "TCP/IP" and the network card

you are using. You achieve the best results with the "TCP/IP(Auto)" for automatic

configuration of the network card you are using.

3. Apply the settings with "OK".

Network Mapping

No.

1. Mark the network card folder in the tree view.

A table is displayed listing all the connected S7-1200 CPUs.

Fig. 09

2. Click the "Export..." button to generate a CSV file with the current network settings of all the

connected S7-1200 CPUs.

Save this file on your computer.

3. Open the exported CSV file with Notepad.

Each line in the CSV file contains a MAC address, IP address, subnet mask and gateway

address for each separate S7-1200 CPU.

You can change the network settings of each CPU as required. You must not change the MAC

address.

You can use the "#" character to insert comments in the CSV file.
