Plug-and-play capability
The communications processors used for PCS 7 support plug-and-play. The required settings
are made automatically when the PC starts up.
Note
If plug-and-play components are not detected, check in the BIOS whether the detection of plug-
and-play components is activated. You can find additional information on this in the
documentation of the BIOS manufacturer.
Detection of plug-and-play components is activated as default for SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX.
Switching the logs on the bus (Industrial Ethernet)
If you need to change the protocol of a bus in a system, from TCP to ISO protocol for example,
you will need to set a mixed protocol (TCP and ISO) briefly on the engineering station.
Now load the configuration data onto the AS and the operating and monitoring systems.
Note
Do not disable the TCP/IP or ISO protocol during operation since they are both needed for
configured operation!
Data transmission rate and bus access procedure
Make sure there are no inconsistencies in Ethernet CPs, switches and network adapters in
terms of their settings/properties for data transmission rate and bus access procedure.
We recommend using the default setting Autonegotiation (procedure for automatic negotiation
for the best transmission mode for two directly interconnected network interfaces).
You can find additional information on this in the section "How to Change the Transmission
Rate and Operating Mode in the PC Network (Page 120)".
Settings for the system bus
Make the following settings for the system bus:
● Disable "File and printer sharing"
● Disable "Client for Microsoft network"
● Enable the ISO protocol
● Disabling energy saving options
