Application
The CP 443-1 communications processor is designed for operation in an S7-400
(standard) and S7-400H (fault-tolerant system) programmable logic controller. It
allows the S7-400 / S7-400H to be attached to Industrial Ethernet.
Services
The CP 443-1 supports the following communication services:
S S7 communication with
– PG functions
– Operator monitoring and control functions
– Data exchange on S7 connections (fault-tolerant S7 connections also
possible)
S S5-compatible communication with
– SEND/RECEIVE interface via ISO transport connections
– SEND/RECEIVE interface via ISO-on-TCP and UDP connections
– SEND/RECEIVE interface via TCP connections
With the SEND/RECEIVE interface via TCP connections, the CP 443-1
supports the socket interface to TCP/IP available on practically every end
system.
– Multicast over UDP connection
The multicast mode is made possible by selecting a suitable IP address
when configuring connections.
– FETCH/WRITE services (server; corresponding to S5 protocol) via ISO
transport connections, ISO-on-TCP connections and TCP connections
Here, the SIMATIC S7-400 with the CP 443-1 is always the server (passive
connection establishment) while the fetch or write access (client function
with active connection establishment) is always initiated by a SIMATIC S5 or
a device from another range.
– LOCK/UNLOCK with FETCH/WRITE services (depending on the CPU)
Configuration
You can configure the CP 443-1 via MPI or LAN/Industrial Ethernet. The following
version of the software package STEP 7 V3.x with NCM S7 for Industrial Ethernet
is required:
Table 1-1
Note
Replacing an older CP
The compatibility of this CP compared with older versions is shown on page
B4–18. The CP 443-1 described here supports all the previous functions of the
CPs listed there.
For NCM diagnostics, the new CP type must be registered in STEP 7. This is
already the case with STEP 7 Version V5.0 + SP3. With older STEP 7 versions,
the CP type must be registered extra. Further information and a file for
downloading is available at:
http://www.ad.siemens.de/csi/net
under the topic NCM–>Configuration Software for S7–>FAQs–>Download
Note
Note the recommendations in Section 7.4 on operation with a higher
communications load.
Notice
We recommend that you always use the latest block versions for all module types.
You will find information on the latest block version and links to download the
current blocks in our Customer Support on the Internet:
http://www4.ad.siemens.de/view/cs/de/8797900
If you are using older block types, this recommendation only applies if you also
have the latest firmware version.
You will find further information and Internet addresses in the Preface of the
General Part of this manual.
System Environment
The CP 443-1 is supported by the S7-400 CPUs and CPU operating systems with
the order numbers as shown in the following table.
The table also contains the following information:
S The number of CPs that can be operated with one CPU
S The number of AG_SEND or AG_RECV calls that can be used at the same
time on the SEND/RECEIVE interface
S Which CPUs support the LOCK/UNLOCK function with the FETCH/WRITE
services
Table 2-1
Table 2-1
Table 2-1
SEND/RECEIVE Interface
For data transfer on the SEND/RECEIVE interface, there are FCs for short and
long data records:
Table 2-2
Function Requirement
Transfer of data fields <= 240 bytes S You require the blocks AG_SEND FC5 and AG_RECV
FC6 or alternatively the blocks AG_LSEND FC50
and AG_ LRECV FC60.
Transfer of data fields > 240 bytes S You require the blocks AG_LSEND FC50 and
AG_LRECV FC60. These blocks are shipped with
NCM.
S The blocks AG_LSEND and AG_LRECV are also
available on the Internet
(http://www.ad.siemens.de/csi/net).
Table 3-1
2. Connect the CP to the power supply. Follow the steps as described in detail in /1/ when
wiring between the power supply and the CPU.
Note
The CP 443-1 can also be inserted or removed while the power supply is on.
Notice
If the CP 443-1 is operated with an older CPU, overload may result if the standard
setting of 20% is used for the CPU. In this case, you should set the
communication load for the CPU in STEP 7/HW Config (parameter “Scan cycle
load from communication”) to a lower value – for example 10%.
LED Displays
The CP 443-1 has 9 display elements on the front panel to display the CP state
and the communication state:
INTF
EXTF
FDX
LINK
TXD
RXD

In the STOP mode configuring and performing
diagnostics on the CP remain possible.
STOP with internal error or memory reset.
In this state, the CPU or intelligent modules in
the rack remain accessible using PG functions.
STOP with external error
CP Communication State
In addition to the LEDs that signal the CP state, the front panel also includes LEDs
that provide information about the status of the CP interface to Industrial Ethernet.
Table 4-1
Note
Read the explanations of the operating modes in the NCM S7 for Industrial
Ethernet manual /4/.
Mode Selector
With the mode selector, you can set the following modes:
S Switch from STOP to RUN:
The CP reads the configured and/or downloaded data into the work memory
and then changes to the RUN mode.
S Switch from RUN to STOP:
The CP changes to STOP with the following results:
– Established connections (ISO transport, ISO-on-TCP, TCP connections) are
terminated (transitional phase with LED display “STOPPING”);
In the STOP mode:
– all connections are terminated
– configuration and diagnostics are possible
– the time of day is passed on (time-of-day frames are passed on by
Industrial Ethernet to the CPU only via the communication bus).
Note
If you plug in the CP with the mode selector set to STOP or turn on the power
supply, the display “Firmware Download” appears for approximately 10 seconds.
When necessary, this function also allows the current firmware version to be
downloaded. In normal operation, you can ignore this display and switch to RUN
immediately.
For more information on downloading new firmware, refer to Section 8.
Note
Refer to the explanations in the manual /4/ on the topic of loading the database on
the CP.
5 Performance Data
Example
You can operate:
7 x S7 connections
2 x ISO-on-TCP connections
25 x TCP connections
25 x UDP connections
5 x ISO transport connections
5.2 S7 Communication
The functions and characteristics of S7 communication are described in /4/ and /7/.
Note the following restrictions:
Table 5-2
Table 5-3
S Data field length The maximum length of the data fields is 2048 bytes.
S No reception of UDP broadcast To avoid overload resulting from a high broadcast load, the
CP does not permit reception of UDP broadcast.
As an alternative, use multicast mode over a UDP connection;
this gives you the opportunity of registering the CP specifically
as a member of a multicast group.
LAN interface – data record length per
PDU
S sending 400 bytes / TPDU
S receiving 512 bytes / TPDU
Notice
If you use the SEND/RECEIVE interface on the CP, one(!) system connection
resource is used by S7 functions. Remember this in conjunction with the maximum
number of CPU connection resources. Remember also that it is not normally
possible to use all the system connection resources available for S7 functions for
CPs. For more detailed information on the CPU connection resources, refer to /7/.
Available Functions
The CP has a two-level function available for resetting memory:
S Clear / reset
Following this memory reset, the CP retains the preset MAC address and the
retentive parameters. The CP is therefore immediately ready for downloads
using the IP address.
The retentive parameters include:
– IP address and IP parameters
– A newly set MAC address
– LAN settings
S Resetting to factory settings
After this memory reset, the CP retains only the factory-set MAC address (as
shipped).
Note
If you store the configuration data on the CPU, please read the note below.
Using the functions described here to reset the memory, you do not modify the
configuration data on the CPU!
If you subsequently upload the configuration data from the CPU to a PG you will
always obtain the configuration data that were previously on the CP (with
parameters, connections, IP address).
Further Notes:
S If you use 10/100 Mbps network components that do not support
“Autonegotiation”, it is possible that you will have to set the mode manually.
S If your application requires a fixed mode instead of “Autonegotiation”, you will
need to match up the partner devices.
S Remember that if you configure the CP manually, it will not react to an
autonegotiation query! As a result, a connected partner will not be able to set
the required mode and communication will not be ideal.
Example:
If, for example, the CP is set to “100 Mbps – full duplex”, a CP connected as
partner will set “100 Mbps – half duplex”. Reason: Due to the fixed setting, no
autonegotiation response is possible; the connected partner recognizes the 100
Mbps with autosensing but nevertheless remains in half duplex.
S Recommendation: Change “Individual network settings” only over MPI
If you modify the LAN settings using the “Individual network settings” option of
the CP, these changes will be adopted by the CP and activated when the
configuration data is downloaded to the CP.
We therefore recommend that you download configuration data to the S7
station over an MPI connection if you change this setting.
If you download the configuration data over the LAN interface, depending on
the selected setting, it is possible that the current download will not be
completed due to the changes to the configuration taking immediate effect.
Example:
The download is started initially with the setting TP/ITP at 10 Mbps half duplex.
If the “Individual network setting” changes this to AUI, the download cannot be
completed.
Alternative Modes
The CP supports the two modes explained below for time-of-day synchronization:
S SIMATIC mode
If the CP receives MMS time-of-day messages, its local time is synchronized
providing the NTP mode was not defined during configuration (MMS =
Manufacturing Message Specification).
The advantage of this mode is that it is generally more accurate than the NTP
mode (guaranteed +– 1ms). In contrast to the NTP mode, it is not possible to
forward the time of day over routers; in other words, to other subnets.
S NTP mode (NTP: Network Time Protocol)
In the NTP mode, the CP sends time queries (in the client mode) at regular
intervals to the NTP server in the subnet (LAN). Based on the responses of the
server, the most reliable and most accurate time is calculated and the time is
synchronized on the station.
The advantage of this mode is that time-of-day synchronization is possible over
different subnets. The accuracy depends on the quality of the NTP server used.
Background
When using the CP described here, the points below will help you to avoid
overload situations on your CPU.
In particular when you replace an older CP with the CP described here and are
then confronted with overload problems, you should check your application for the
pitfalls outlined below.
Known Problems
S The functions for sending and receiving (FC 5/FC6 or FC 50/60) are often
called cyclically in OB1. This leads to constant communication between the
CPU and CP. As a result, other types of communication such as PG functions
cannot be executed or only very slowly.
S HMI systems access data of the CPU too often using S7 functions. This slows
down communication generally and there may be a lack of resources when
SEND/RECEIVE FCs are called cyclically in OB1.
Remedy
The recommendations below will help to avoid these situations:
S Do not call communication blocks cyclically in OB1!
Communication should be called time-controlled in a suitable cyclic-interrupt
OB. The call interval of this OB should be significantly higher than the average
cycle time of your program.
S You should set a minimum cycle time that is higher than the average runtime of
OB1. This frees resources for communication on the CPU. This is, for example,
a remedy for existing applications when communication already takes place
cyclically in OB1.
S If necessary, reduce the time taken for communication processing on the CPU
by changing the parameters set for “cyclic load due to communication” in the
properties dialog of the CPU.
Modify the call parameters of the FC after the FC has confirmed job execution
Notice
Once the job has been triggered, you can only modify the call parameters of the
FC call interface of FC AG_SEND or AG_RECV again after the FC has confirmed
job execution with DONE=1 or with ERROR=1.
If you ignore this, it is possible that execution of the job will be aborted with an er-
ror.
Requirements
You download new firmware to a SIMATIC NET CP using the firmware loader
shipped with the STEP 7 option NCM S7 for Industrial Ethernet.
To download firmware, you require an Industrial Ethernet CP module in the PG/PC
(for example, CP 1613) or a normal Ethernet module with the “Softnet IE” software
package.
Notice
The emergency address 00.AF.FE.AF.FE.00 is no longer used with the module
described here.
If you can no longer start the download either with the configured or the default
MAC address, you should turn the entire rack off and on again. You can then
trigger the firmware download again within 10 seconds with the mode selector set
to STOP. In this case, you must always use the default MAC address.
During this time, the CP indicates “Ready for Firmware Download”.
