S7-200 SMART
System Manual, V2.3, 07/2017, A5E03822230-AF
503
Note that the S7-200 SMART does not automatically attempt to reconnect to a device after
the connection has been closed. If the remote device breaks the device connection, your
program must execute another TCP_CONNECT instruction to reconnect the device. This is
true for both active and passive connections.
Table 9- 14 Parameters of the TCP_CONNECT instruction
Parameter
Declaration Data type
Description
EN
IN
BOOL
Enable input
Req
IN
BOOL
The CPU starts the connect operation if Req =
TRUE. If Req = FALSE, then the outputs show
the current status of the connection.
Active
IN
BOOL
•
TRUE = active connection
•
FALSE = passive connection
ConnID
IN
WORD
The CPU uses the Connection ID (ConnID) num-
ber to identify this connection for the other in-
structions. The possible ConnID range is 0 to
65534.
IPaddr1
...
IPaddr4
IN
BYTE
These are the four IP address octets. IPaddr1 is
the most significant byte and IPaddr4 is the least
significant byte of the IP address.
RemPort
IN
WORD
The RemPort is the port number on the remote
device. The remote port number range is 1 to
49151. Use zero for passive connections.
LocPort
IN
WORD
The LocPort is the port number on the local de-
vice. The local port number range is 1 to 49151
with some restrictions. Refer to the LocPort defi-
nition in "Parameters common to the OUC library
instructions" (Page 499).
Done
OUT
BOOL
The instruction sets the Done output when the
connect operation is complete with no errors.
Busy
OUT
BOOL
The instruction sets the Busy output while the
connection operation is in progress.
Error
OUT
BOOL
The instruction sets the Error output when the
connection operation is complete with an error.
Refer to "Open user communication library in-
struction error codes" (Page 524) for further in-
formation.
Status
OUT
BYTE
The Status output shows the error code if the
instruction sets the Error output. Status is zero
(no error) if the instruction sets the Busy or Done
outputs.
