Description
From STEP 7 V5.0 SP3 HF3 onwards you can reach ST stations online over and beyond subnet limits with the PG/PC, in order, for example, to load user programs or a hardware configuration or in order to execute test and diagnostic functions. You can connect a PG/PC at any place within the network and connect online to any stations which are reached through gateways.
Gateway
The gateway from a subnet to one or more other subnets is in a SIMATIC station that has interfaces to the subnets concerned.
Requirements
- At least STEP 7 V5.0 SP3 HF3 is installed on the PG/PC for configuration and use of the S7 routing function.
- An interface (Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS PC CP) is installed in the PG/PC to establish a connection to the gateway. You can use PROFIBUS PC CPs 55xx and 56xx. You can use any NDIS-compatible Ethernet network card (3COM, CP1613, for example) as Industrial Ethernet interface in the PG/PC.
- The associated communications modules of the station support the S7 routing function.
- The network configuration does not go across project boundaries.
- Both the modules and the PG or PC are loaded with the configuration information that contains the latest "knowledge" about the complete network configuration of the project.
Technical background
All the modules associated with the gateway must receive information about which subnets can be reached over which routes (= routing information).
Note
The lists below have been updated with the modules of the hardware catalog of STEP 7 V5.4 SP2. This means that older modules which support the S7 routing function are listed in the tables, but are not necessarily included in the hardware catalog of the latest versions of STEP 7.
