Generating the Connection Data for Open TCP/IP Communication Using the Open Communication Wizard
All new SIMATIC S7-CPUs contain an integrated PROFINET interface which apart from PROFINET also enables TCP/IP communication. However, the configuration of the TCP/IP communication via this integrated Ethernet interface is only possible using blocks for open communication. This example shows the configuration and programming of a communication relationship between a CPU319 and a CPU414 via the integrated Ethernet interface and the ISO-on-TCP protocol.

For open TCP/IP communication via the PROFINET interface of the S7-CPUs, 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. Using the "Open Communication Wizard" tool contained in this document enables simple and clear specification of the connection parameters. The tool then exports a UDT with all parameters into your STEP 7 project. Using this UDT then enables generating the data block with the connection description. Using the finished data block we then give a simple example 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.
