505 TCP/IP #2:
201.98.1.9
255.255.255.0
To use 505 SoftShop over an Ethernet network with the TCP/IP protocol,
you need to purchase and install the PPX:505-CP2572 module in a Series
505 base. Refer to the
SIMATIC 505 Ethernet TCP/IP Communication
Processor (505-CP2572) User Manual
, PPX:505-8132-x, for
instructions.
Assign an IP Address to the Module
There are two ways to configure the IP address for your PPX:505-
CP2572 module. Each procedure has different advantages, as outlined in
Table 4.2.
Procedure
Pros
Cons
Autostart
Communications are
functional any time
CPU GOOD LED is on.
Can re–use same ladder
logic program for
multiple controllers.
Must reprogram
EEPROM whenever
CP2572 module is
replaced.
A CP2572 module
programmed in one
application and installed
in another would
respond to the wrong IP
address, unless
reprogrammed.
Cannot swap CP2572
modules without
reprogramming
EPROMs through serial
port by a PC.
PLC Start
Easy to troubleshoot
problems by swapping
CP2572 modules;
proper IP address is
loaded from ladder logic
program as soon as CPU
enters RUN mode.
IP Address is not loaded
unless CPU enters RUN
mode; if power is lost
when CPU is not in
RUN mode, you must
manually bring CPU
back to RUN mode (via
programming device in
CPU’s RS-232 port) to
restore Ethernet
communications.
If multiple controllers
perform the same
function, you must
modify ladder logic
program for each one so
that it contains a unique
IP address.

The
SIMATIC 505 Ethernet TCP/IP Communication Processor (505-
CP2572) User Manual
describes the Autostart and PLC Start procedures
in detail; follow the instructions in the manual to configure the IP address
for your module.
