Configure the communication connection The user can create Ethernet communication between the Siemens touch screen of the Ethernet interface and the S7-200 SMART CPU by following the steps below. Take the Smart 1000 IE as an example. Adding a connection with the CPU in the main working window of WinCC flexible is similar to the Siemens touch screen with the RS485 interface above, which will not be described here. The following mainly introduces the connection parameter settings and download items. To set the connection parameters, first select the interface of the Smart 1000 IE as "Ethernet", which is the Ethernet interface of the touch screen. When this interface is selected, the parameter setting window of the interface will be displayed automatically below it. Set the touch screen IP address to 192.168.2.5. This IP address must be the same as the Smart 1000 IE device's IP address. Set the IP address of the CPU in the "PLC Device" window. Here, set the IP address of the CPU to 192.168.2.1, as shown in Figure 1. Note: The IP address set for the Smart 1000 IE must be different from the IP address of the CPU. The two cannot be duplicated. Figure 1. Setting communication parameters After setting the connection parameters, you also need to set the IP address of the Smart 1000 IE device. On the "Transfer Settings" screen of the touch screen, click the "Advanced" button in the lower left corner. In the "Ethernet Settings" dialog box, enter the IP address 192.168.2.5 of the Smart 1000 IE and the subnet mask. After the input is completed, click the "OK" button in the upper right corner of the dialog box to save the settings, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. IP address of the Smart 1000 IE Download project file To download the configured project to the Smart 1000 IE device, you need to ensure that the communication port of the HMI device is active. This can be set via the "Control Panel" > "Transfer" of the HMI device. When you select Ethernet to download the project, you need to select Enable Channel on the right side of Ethernet, as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. Communication port enable From the menu bar of the WinCC flexible software, select "Project"> "Transfer"> "Transfer" and click "Transfer" to open the "Select Device for Transfer" window, as shown in Figure 4. In the "Select Device for Transmission" window, select the transmission mode is "Ethernet" and enter the IP address of the HMI device under "Computer Name or IP Address". Refer to the above for setting the IP address to 192.168.2.5. Figure 4. Transfer settings After the IP address is set, click the "Transfer" button in Figure 4. When the status of the transfer is displayed as "Transfer Complete", the project has been successfully transferred to the HMI device via Ethernet mode. we take great pride in our quality control procedures and our commitment to quality our CAT8 Shielded HD Component Rated Keystone Jack line is subject to EIA/TIA standards and FLUKE compliant.
