4 - 505 SoftShop Setup
505 SoftShop for Simatic 505
Figure 4.8
NOTE
The 505 SoftShop allows 1,000 different IP Addresses and Path
Descriptions.
2.
Enter the IP Address for the associated Interface Board. An IP
Address is a 32-bit value that is divided into four 8-bit fields,
each separated by a period. For example, 192.3.2.1 is an IP
Address. Each computer on a network has a unique IP Address.
You should consult your network administrator for the correct IP
Addresses for your computer and board.
3.
Enter the IP Address Path Description. A Path Description is a
32-character alphanumeric description for the IP Address.
4.
Click OK or press Enter to accept the settings. Click Cancel to
disregard changes and return to the TCP/IP Setup dialog box.
NOTE
Refer to the
2572 Ethernet TCP/IP Module
manual for proper
settings.
Setting Up and Using PROFIBUS–FMS
in 505
SoftShop
Installing the PROFIBUS–FMS Communications
Processor
The SIMATIC 505-CP5434-FMS Communications Processor module
(referred to hereafter as the FMS CP module) provides the interface
required for a SIMATIC 505 programmable logic controller system to
communicate with other devices over a common PROFIBUS network.
To install the FMS CP module in a SIMATIC 505 base, follow the
installation instructions in the
SIMATIC 505 PROFIBUS–FMS
Communication Processor (505-CP5434-FMS) User Manual
.
The FMS CP module must be configured with the COM5434
Configuration software included with the module. The COM5434
Configuration software operates in Windows 95 or Windows NT only.
To install the software, follow the installation instructions in the
SIMATIC 505 PROFIBUS–FMS Communication Processor (505-
CP5434-FMS) User Manual
.
Each FMS CP module in a 505 base must be configured to communicate
over the PROFIBUS network. The “module local configuration” for each
FMS CP module identifies its station address and the network
communication parameters it uses to operate on the network.
NOTE
You must define the module local configuration for each FMS
CP module using the RS-232 port with the standard 505 SoftShop
programming cable before you can communicate with it using the
PROFIBUS-FMS port.
