Once you have installed and started STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32 on your PC, start the wizard for
the CP 243-1. You will find this in the "Options" menu under "Internet Wizard..." or in the left
window area of STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32 in the window with the navigation bar under "Options"
if the correct view is enabled in STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32.
The Internet wizard supports you when configuring your CP 243-1. You can enter all the
relevant configuration data in a series of dialogs. User prompting is designed so that you
cannot move on to the next dialog until all your entries are correct and complete. If they are
not, an error message appears to this effect.
The Internet wizard consists of four internal wizards that are used to configure the various IT
services. You always work through the configuration wizard first. In this wizard, basic
configuration data is specified (such as TCP/IP address parameters) and you also configure
S7 communication here. All configuration information specified here is stored on the S7-200
CPU when downloaded to your S7-200 system. After you have completed this wizard, you
can exit the configuration or configure the various IT services of the CP 243-1 with further
wizards.
If you want to do this, the Internet wizard includes an FTP wizard and an e-mail wizard as
well as a wizard for configuring user administration. The information specified in these
wizards is stored in the file system of the CP 243-1 when downloaded to the S7-200 system.
The configuration of each CP 243-1 can be completed after working through one of these
three wizards. If one of these wizards is not worked through before you complete the
configuration, this IT service is not configured.
Below is a short description of the individual wizards and the individual steps in configuration
through which these wizards will guide you.
Note
For detailed information, refer to the documentation supplied with STEP 7 Micro/WIN 32.
3.3.1 Basic configuration
After starting the Internet wizard, you will see the configuration wizard. All the settings you
enter here will be stored on the S7-200 CPU when you download to the S7-200 system.
The introductory dialog of the configuration wizard provides you with general information.
After reading this, click "Next>" to continue with the wizard.
Specifying of the position of the CP 243-1 in the S7-200 system
The position of the CP 243-1 in the S7-200 system must be specified in the second dialog.
This position can be set manually or the wizard can search for a CP 243-1 in your S7-200
system. If it finds a CP 243-1, its position in the S7-200 system is displayed. If you double-
click on the displayed CP 243-1, you accept its position in the configuration.
When using firmware version on the CPU of 1.2 or higher, the CP 243-1 can be installed in
any one of 7 positions in an S7-200 system.
