Preconfiguration "PmS7 - Minimal set of the PmaComm object"

Communication driver configuration PmS7 - Driver for communication by the S7-TCP/IP protocol.

This preconfiguration can be activated when creating a new object (e.g. by "New object ..." in the context menu of the object or by pressing the Insert key after selecting the object).

This preconfiguration is included in the "/ Communication / Protocols and other communications / S7" group.

This preconfiguration can be created in the PmaFolder, PmaRoot or PmaPrototype object.

The created preconfigured connection is functional usually immediately. Otherwise it is necessary to obtain the connection parameters specified by the device manufacturer and see also PmS7 - Driver for communication by the S7-TCP/IP protocol.

These configurators can be set before the preconfiguration is created:

The name of created object	Name of the object created in the Pma object tree. The maximum name length is 30 characters. This is a system name, so it must contain only alphanumeric and must not contain any diacritics (i.e. national dependent characters), empty string, spaces and first character must not be a number. Default: "Comm"

Network address	Network address of the remote device (e.g. of the PLC device), to which the communication will be connected. The address can be entered as: - IPv4 full address (e.g. "192.168.0.15") - IPv4 address of this computer (i.e. "127.0.0.1") - IPv4 computer name (e.g. "server11") - IPv4 name of this computer (i.e. "localhost") - IPv6 full address (e.g. "2a02:c38:8136:800a:37a:ab66:6fc9:accd") - IPv6 address of this computer (i.e. "::1") Macro expression can be used for input (it is evaluated after the application is launched). After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaComm > Setting the parameters of the Ethernet-client > Network address" configurator will be set to this value.
Communication refresh rate [ms]	The period in milliseconds to be used for reading the current data by the PROMOTIC application. After the preconfiguration is created, the "PmaCommGroup > Parameters > Communication refresh rate [ms]" configurator will be set to this value.
Rack	(0-7) Specifies the rack number where the CPU for communication is located. Usually is 0.
CPU Slot	(0-31) Specifies the slot number where the CPU for communication is located. (Caution: it is NOT the slot of the communication card!) - Very often the value is 2. - For built-in Ethernet interface (e.g. S7-1200, S7-1500, CPU1512SP ...) the value is 1.
