Software for telecontrol communication and TeleService
The CP is configured in "Telecontrol" mode.
●
For the telecontrol communication
The telecontrol server requires the "TCSB" (TeleControl Server V3) software in the
master station.
●
For TeleService
For TeleService a switching station is required between the CP and the engineering
station (with STEP 7 in the version specified above).
This is either the telecontrol server or a TeleService gateway:
–
When using telecontrol communication, the telecontrol server is the switching station.
–
To use TeleService without a telecontrol server, the "TS Gateway" software is required
for the TeleService gateway.
The software and the manual describing it are on the DVD that ships with the CP.
For the documentation of the application, see /4/ (Page 152) or /3/ (Page 152) in the
References.
Requirements for using mobile wireless services
●
Local availability of a mobile wireless network in the range of the station.
●
A contract with a suitable mobile wireless network provider
The contract must allow the transfer of data.
IP address:
–
For communication with the telecontrol server, a private (fixed) or public (dynamic) IP
address assigned by the mobile wireless network provider can be used.
–
For direct communication between S7 stations (S7 communication and Open User
Communication via T blocks) the mobile wireless network provider must assign a fixed
IP address to the CP and forward the frames to the destination nodes.
●
The SIM card and PIN belonging to the mobile wireless contract
The SIM card is inserted in the CP.
With mobile wireless contracts in which the network provider does not assign a PIN, no
PIN is necessary for the configuration of the CP.
●
Access point (Access Point)
For the transition between the mobile wireless network and Internet you require an
access point. The name of the access point (APN) and the access data are configured for
the CP in STEP 7.
Generally the mobile wireless network providers make an access point available.
Note the information on APNs in the section Auto-Hotspot.
