CP 1243-1 PCC
1.4 Other services and properties
Other services and properties

● Data point configuration
Due to the data point configuration in STEP 7, programming program blocks in order to
transfer the process data is unnecessary. The individual data points are processed 1:1 in
the operation center.
● IP configuration - IPv4 and IPv6
The essential features of IP configuration for the CP:
– The CP supports IP addresses according to IPv4 and IPv6.
For applications in IPv6 networks, an IPv6 address can be used in addition to an IPv4
address.
– IP address assignment:
The IP address, the subnet mask and the address of a gateway can be set manually
in the configuration.
As an alternative, the IP address can be obtained from a DHCP server or by other
means outside the configuration.
● Time-of-day synchronization
– If Plant Cloud Communication is enabled, the CP can obtain its local time as UTC time
from the operation center or using NTP or NTP (secure). The time of day can be read
from the CPU. For the communication with an operation center, give preference to the
secure method NTP (secure). The mechanisms are described in the STEP 7
information system.
For information on the format of the time stamp, refer to the section Datapoint types
(Page 33).
For more information, refer to the section Time-of-day synchronization (Page 40).
● Data buffering: Storage of event data
If a connection fails, the CP can buffer the data of events of different classes and transfer
them bundled to the operation center.
● Data transfer: triggered
The Plant Cloud Communication with the operation center is started in the following way:
– Triggered by various selectable criteria.
● Analog value processing
Analog values can be preprocessed on the CP according to various methods.
CP 1243-1 PCC
● Online functions
From an engineering station (ES) on which STEP 7 is installed, you can use the online
functions of STEP 7 via the CP to access the S7-1200 CPU if the station is located in the
same IP subnet. Online access via the operation center is not possible.
The following online functions are available:
– Downloading project or program data from the STEP 7 project to the station.
– Querying diagnostics data on the station.
– Downloading firmware files to the CP.
● SNMP
As an SNMP agent, the CP supports data queries using SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) in version V1.
For more detailed information, refer to section SNMP (Page 41).
Industrial Ethernet Security

With Industrial Ethernet Security, individual devices, automation cells or network segments
of an Ethernet network can be protected. The data transfer via the CP can be protected from
the following attacks by a combination of different security measures:
● Data espionage
● Data manipulation
● Unauthorized access
Secure underlying networks can be operated via additional Ethernet/PROFINET interfaces of
the CPU.
Security functions of the CP

The CP supports the following security functions:
● Firewall
– IP firewall with stateful packet inspection (layer 3 and 4)
– Firewall also for "non-IP" Ethernet frames according to IEEE 802.3 (layer 2)
– Limitation of the transmission speed ("Bandwidth limitation")
– Global firewall rules
● Operation centers
Secure communication with one or two operation centers.
● Logging
To allow monitoring, events can be stored in log files that can be read out using the
configuration tool or can be sent automatically to a Syslog server.
CP 1243-1 PCC
1.5 Configuration limits and performance data
● NTP (secure)
For secure transfer during time-of-day synchronization
● Protection for devices and network segments
The protection provided by the firewall can cover individual devices, several devices or
even entire network segments.
Note
Plants with security requirements - recommendation
Use the following options:
• If you have systems with high security requirements, use the secure protocols
NTP (secure) and HTTPS.
• If you connect to public networks, you should use the firewall. Think about the services
you want to allow access to the station via public networks. By using the "bandwidth
limitation" of the firewall, you can restrict the possibility of flooding and DoS attacks.
For information on configuring the security functions, refer to the section Security functions
(Page 39).
You will find further information on the functionality and configuration of the security functions
in the information system of STEP 7 and in the manual /2/ (Page 70).

Requirement for configuring the Plant Cloud Communication

One requirement for configuring communication between CP and operation center is the
programming of the assigned CPU and the input and output data of the station.
PLC tags must also be created to assign the user data to be transferred to the data points.
When assigning the PLC tags to your communications partners, you can select both
operation centers.
For more detailed information, refer to the following sections.
CP 1243-1 PCC

5.2 Configuration in STEP 7
Required information for the Plant Cloud Communication

The following information is required for the STEP 7 configuration of the CP:
● Address of the operation center
The URL address of the operation center.
● DNS server address(es)
You require the DNS server address if you address the operation center using a name
that can be resolved by DNS and the DNS is not operated by the network provider. You
configure DNS in the parameter group "DNS configuration":
– If you do not specify an address, the DNS server address is obtained automatically
from the network provider (recommended procedure).
– If you want to use a different DNS server, enter its IP address. In this case, DNS
servers of the network provider are not taken into account.
Overview of the configuration steps in STEP 7

Follow the steps below when configuring:
1. Create a STEP 7 project.
2. Insert the required SIMATIC stations.
3. Insert the CPs and the required input and output modules in the stations.
4. Create an Ethernet network.
5. Connect the stations to the Ethernet subnet.
6. Configure the inserted CPs.

5.4 Configuring data points and messages
5.4 Configuring data points and messages
Data point-related communication with the CPU

No program blocks need to be programmed for the CP to transfer user data between the
station and communications partner. The data areas in the memory of the CPU intended for
communication with the partner are configured data point-related on the CP. Each data point
is linked to a PLC tag or a data block on the CPU.
Requirement: Created PLC tags and/or data blocks (DBs)

PLC tags or DBs must first be created in the CPU program to allow configuration of the data
points.
The PLC tags for data point configuration can be created in the standard tag table or in a
user-defined tag table. All PLC tags intended to be used for data point configuration must
have the attribute "Visible in HMI".
Address areas of the PLC tags are input, output or bit memory areas on the CPU.
Note
Number of PLC tags
Remember the maximum possible number of PLC tags the can be used for data point
configuration in the section Configuration limits and performance data (Page 13).
The formats and S7 data types of the PLC tags that are compatible with the protocol-specific
data point types of the CP can be found in the section Datapoint types (Page 33).
Access to the memory areas of the CPU

The values of the PLC tags or DBs referenced by the data points are read and transferred to
the communications partner by the CP.
Data received from the communications partner is written by the CP to the CPU via the PLC
tags or DBs.
CP 1243-1 PCC
5.5 Datapoint types
Configuring the data points and messages in STEP 7

You configure the data points in STEP 7 in the editor for the data point and message

Figure 5-1 Configuring data points and messages
You will find more information on configuration in the following sections and in the STEP 7
information system.
5.5 Datapoint types

During the configuration of the user data to be transferred by the CP, each data point is
assigned a protocol-specific data point type. The data point types supported by the CP along
with the compatible S7 data types are listed below. They are grouped according to format
(memory requirements).
CP 1243-1 PCC
5.5 Datapoint types
Supported data point types of the CP
Note
Plant Cloud in the operation center cannot process ARRAY
The Plant Cloud in the operation center does not support the ARRAY data type. Transfers of
this data type are discarded by the operation center. Make sure that you take this into
account in the configuration of the data points.

Block of data (ARRAY)

With the ARRAY data type, contiguous memory areas up to a size of 64 bytes can be
transferred.
Compatible components of ARRAY are the following uniform S7 data types with a size
between 1 and 32 bytes:
● BYTE, CHAR (in total up to 64 times per block of data)
● INT (in total up to 32 times per block of data)
● DINT, UDINT (in total up to 16 times per block of data)
If the array is modified later, the data point must be recreated.
Time stamp in UTC format

Time stamps are transferred in UTC format (48 bits) and contain the time difference in
milliseconds since 01.01.1970.
CP 1243-1 PCC
5.6 CPU scan cycle
5.6 CPU scan cycle
Structure of the CPU scan cycle

The cycle (including the pause) with which the CP scans the memory area of the CPU is
made up of the following phases:
● High-priority read jobs
For data points of the type "Input", which are configured with the "High priority" setting in
the data point configuration in "General > Priority in the scan cycle", the PLC tags are all
read in one scan cycle.
● Write jobs
In every cycle, the values of a certain number of unsolicited write jobs are written to the
CPU. The number of tags written per cycle is specified for the CP in the "Communication
with the CPU" parameter group with the "Max. number of write jobs" parameter. The tags
whose number exceeds this value are then written in the next or one of the following
cycles.
● Low-priority read jobs - proportion
For data points of the type "Input", which are configured with the "Low priority" setting in
the data point configuration in "General > Priority in the scan cycle", the values of a part
of the PLC tags are read in every scan cycle.
The number of tags read per cycle is specified for the CP in the "Communication with the
CPU" parameter group with the "Max. number of read jobs" parameter. The tags that
exceed this value and can therefore not be read in one cycle are then read in the next or
one of the following cycles.
● Cycle pause time
This is the waiting time between two scan cycles. It is used to reserve adequate time for
other processes that access the CPU via the backplane bus of the station.
Duration of the CPU scan cycle

Since no fixed time can be configured for the cycle and since the individual phases cannot
be assigned a fixed number of objects, the duration of the scan cycle is variable and can
change dynamically.
CP 1243-1 PCC
5.7 Types of transmission, event classes, triggers, status identifiers
Classification of the data points and storage of the values

The values of data points are stored in the image memory of the CP and transferred only
when called by the operation center. Events are also stored in the send buffer and can be
transferred unsolicited. All data points are therefore classified as follows:
● No event (static value)
Data points that are not configured as an event ("Transfer after call") are entered in the
image memory (process image of the CP).
● Event
The values of data points configured as an event are also entered in the image memory
of the CP. The value of the event is sent unsolicited to the operation center.
The values of events are also entered in the send buffer of the CP.
The image memory

All the current values of the configured data points are stored in the image memory. New
values of a data point overwrite the last stored value in the image memory.
The values are sent after being queried by the communications partner. Refer to "Transfer
after call" in the section "Types of transmission".
The send buffer

The send buffer is the data buffer on the CP for storing the values of events. The send buffer
has a maximum size of 64 000 events. The configured number of events is divided equally
among all configured and enabled communications partners. The "Data buffer size"
parameter for the size of the send buffer is described in the section Communication with the
CPU (Page 47).
If a connection to a communications partner is interrupted, the values of the events are
retained in the buffer. When the connection returns, the buffered frames are sent.
The frame memory operates chronologically; in other words, the oldest frames are sent first
(FIFO principle). When the maximum number of events is reached and the frames could not
be sent, the oldest values are overwritten.
CP 1243-1 PCC
Types of transmission
Depending on your CP type, you have the following transmission types available:
● Transfer after call
The current value of the data point is entered in the image memory of the CP. New
values of a data point overwrite the last stored value in the image memory.
After being called by the communications partner, the current value at the time is
transferred.
● Event class
The value is entered in the send buffer as an event and transferred unsolicited to the
communications partner when the trigger fires.
You will find details of the event classes and triggers in the following sections.
The type of transmission is specified for each data point in the data point configuration in
STEP 7 with the "Type of transmission" or "Event class" parameter.
Event classes
The process data of the various event classes is handled as follows:
● Every value triggered
Each value change is entered in the send buffer in chronological order.
● Current value triggered
Only the current value at the time the trigger condition was met is entered in the image
memory and overwrites the last value stored there.
Trigger
Various trigger types are available for starting event-driven transfer:
● Threshold value trigger
The value of the data point is transferred when this reaches a certain threshold. The
threshold is calculated as the difference compared with the last stored value, refer to the
section Threshold value trigger (Page 52).
● Time trigger
The value of the data point is transferred at configurable intervals or at a specific time of
day.
● Event trigger
The value of the data point is transferred when a configurable trigger signal is fired. For
the trigger signal, the edge change (0 → 1) of a trigger bit is evaluated that is set by the
user program. When necessary, a separate trigger bit can be configured for each data
point.
Resetting the trigger bit in the bit memory area / DB

If the memory area of the trigger bit is in the bit memory or in a data block, the trigger bit is
reset to zero when the data point is transferred.
CP 1243-1 PCC
Generation of events if a data point status changes

With data points that were configured as an event, the change to the status bit of the status
identifiers described below also leads to an event being generated.
Example: If the status "RESTART" of a data point configured as an event changes to "Value
updated" when the station starts up, this causes an event to be generated.
Status IDs of data points

The status IDs listed in the following tables are transferred for each data point in each frame
in 1 byte.
The meaning relates to the bit status in the last row of each table.

Note the range and application of the security functions of the CP, refer to the section Other
services and properties (Page 11).
5.8.1 Firewall
5.8.1.1 Firewall sequence when checking incoming and outgoing frames

Each incoming or outgoing frame initially runs through the MAC firewall (layer 2). If the frame
is discarded at this level, it will not be checked by the IP firewall (layer 3). This means that
with suitable MAC firewall rules, IP communication can be restricted or blocked.
5.8.1.2 Notation for the source IP address (advanced firewall mode)

If you specify an address range for the source IP address in the advanced firewall settings of
the CP, make sure that the notation is correct:
● Separate the two IP addresses only using a hyphen.
Correct: 192.168.10.0-192.168.10.255
● Do not enter any other characters between the two IP addresses.
Incorrect: 192.168.10.0 - 192.168.10.255
If you enter the range incorrectly, the firewall rule will not be used.
5.8.2 Filtering of the system events
Communications problems if the value for system events is set too high
If the value for filtering the system events is set too high, you may not be able to achieve the
maximum performance for the communication. The high number of output error messages
can delay or prevent the processing of the communications connections.
In "Security > Log settings > Configure system events", set the "Level:" parameter to the
value "3 (Error)" to ensure the reliable establishment of the communications connections.
CP 1243-1 PCC
5.9 Time-of-day synchronization
5.9 Time-of-day synchronization
Procedure for time-of-day synchronization

The CP supports the three methods of time-of-day synchronization:
● Time from partner
In this case, the time of day is synchronized by the operation center. This method is
enabled automatically if the Plant Cloud Communication and Security functions are
enabled in "Communication types" in STEP 7.
To be able to receive the time of day from the operation center, "Operation center" and
"Operation centers" need to be fully configured.
● NTP or NTP (secure)
If Plant Cloud Communication is disabled, the time of day can only be synchronized using
NTP or NTP (secure). Here, configure the synchronization mode, the local time zone of
the station, the synchronization interval and the addresses of the NTP servers.
Note
Special feature of time-of-day synchronization using NTP
If the "Accept time from non-synchronized NTP servers" option is enabled, the CP also
accepts the time from NTP servers that are not directly synchronized with stratum 16.
If the option is disabled, the response is as follows:
If the CP receives a time of day frame from an unsynchronized NTP server with stratum
16, the time of day is not set according to the frame. In this case, none of the NTP
servers is displayed as "NTP master" in the diagnostics; but rather only as being
"reachable".
NTP (secure) with security functions enabled

In the extended NTP configuration, you can create and manage additional NTP servers
including those of the type NTP (secure).
The secure method NTP (secure) uses authentication with symmetrical keys according to
the hash algorithms MD5 or SHA-1.
Note
Ensuring a valid time of day
If you use security functions, a valid time of day is extremely important. It is recommended to
use the NTP (secure) method.
Configuration
For information on configuration, refer to the STEP 7 online help of the "Time-of-day
synchronization" parameter group.

CP 1243-1 PCC
Advanced settings
● Operation center
Description of the operation center e.g. name of the server.
● Monitoring time for operation center
If the CP does not receive a response from the communications partner (operation
center) within the configured time, the CP interprets this as a fault/error on the partner.
With 0, after 5 minutes the lack of a response is interpreted as a connection problem.
● Connection monitoring time
If the establishment of an HTTPS connection to the communications partner (operation
center) fails, this is interpreted as a connection problem.
● Reconnection delay
Value for the wait time until the next connection establishment following an unsuccessful
attempt to establish a connection.
The reconnection delay is the waiting time between repeated attempts to establish the
connection by the CP when the operation center is not reachable or the connection has
aborted.
A value is configured for the waiting time before the next connection establishment
attempt.
With the value 0, the attempts until successful connection establishment are made as
default at the following intervals: 3 x 60 s, 3 x 120 s, 4 x 900 s, 23 x 3 600 s (1 hour),
1 x 86 400 s (1 day).
● Report operation center status
If the "Report operation center status" function is enabled, the CP signals the status of the
communication to the operation center.
– Bit 0 of "PLC tag for operation center status" (data type WORD) is set to 1 if the
operation center can be reached.
– Bit 1 is set to 1 if all the paths to the operation center are OK (useful with redundant
paths).
– Bits 2-3 indicate the status of the send buffer (frame memory).
The following values are possible:
- 0: send buffer OK
- 1: send buffer threatening to overflow (more than 80 % full).
- 3: send buffer has overflowed (fill level 100 % reached).
As soon as the fill level drops below 50%, bits 2 and 3 are reset to 0.
Bits 4 to 15 of the PLC tags are not used and do not need to be evaluated in the program.

Sequence of processing Threshold value trigger and Analog value preprocessing
Note
Threshold value trigger: Calculation only after "Analog value preprocessing"
Note that the analog value preprocessing is performed before the check for a configured
threshold value.
This affects the value that is configured for the threshold value trigger, refer to the section
Threshold value trigger (Page 52).
Restricted preprocessing options if mean value generation is configured

If you configure mean value generation for an analog value event, the following
preprocessing options are not available:
• Unipolar transfer
• Error suppression time
• Smoothing
No Threshold value trigger if Mean value generation is configured

If mean value generation is configured, no threshold value trigger can be configured for the
analog value event involved.
Analog inputs that are configured as an event are processed on the CP in the following
sequence:
Sequence of analog value processing

1. Reading the data from the input area of the CPU
2. Analog value preprocessing (part 1)
Processing involves the following steps:
– Mean value generation
- Mean value generation configured: Calculation and then continued at point 4.
- No mean value generation configured: Continue with "Unipolar transfer".
– Unipolar transfer (if configured)
– Error suppression time (if configured)
– Smoothing (if configured)
3. Threshold value calculation (if Threshold value trigger is configured)
4. Analog value preprocessing (part 2)
– Adjustment to the start of measuring range and end of measuring range (if configured)
5. Storage of the value in the send buffer
Transfer of the value to the partner if trigger and threshold value conditions are met.
CP 1243-1 PCC
5.11.5.3 Analog value preprocessing

Depending on the data point type, the functions for analog value preprocessing described
below are supported.
Unipolar transfer
If unipolar transfer is enabled, negative values of analog inputs are corrected to zero.
Exception: The value -32768 / 8000h as fault ID for wire break of live zero hardware analog
inputs is transferred. With a software input, on the other hand, all values lower than zero are
corrected to zero.
If mean value generation is active, this parameter has no effect.
Smoothing factor
Analog values that fluctuate quickly can be smoothed with this function.
The smoothing factors are calculated according to the following formula as with S7 analog
input modules.
where
yn = smoothed value in the current cycle
xn = value acquired in the current cycle n
k = smoothing factor
The following values can be configured for the module as the smoothing factor.
● 1 = No smoothing
● 4 = Weak smoothing
● 32 = Medium smoothing
● 64 = Strong smoothing
CP 1243-1 PCC
Error suppression time

An analog value in the overflow range (32767 / 7FFFh) or underflow range (-32768 / 8000h)
is not transferred for the duration of the error suppression time. This also applies to live zero
inputs. The value in the overflow/underflow range is only sent after the error suppression
time has elapsed, if it is still pending.
If the value returns to the measuring range before the error suppression time elapses, the
current value is transferred immediately.
A typical use case for this parameter is the suppression of peak current values when starting
up powerful motors that would otherwise be signaled to the control center as a disruption.
The suppression is adjusted to analog values that are acquired by the S7 analog input
modules as raw values. These modules return the specified values for the overflow or
underflow range for all input ranges (also for live zero inputs).
Recommendation for finished values that were preprocessed by the CPU:

If the CPU makes preprocessed finished values available in bit memory or in a data block,
suppression is only possible or useful if these finished values also adopt the values listed
above 32767 / 7FFFh or -32768 / 8000h in the overflow or underflow range. If this is not the
case, the parameter should not be enabled for preprocessed values.
Mean value generation

With this parameter, acquired analog values are transferred as mean values.
The current values of an analog data point are acquired cyclically and totaled. The number of
acquired values per time unit depends on the read cycle of the CPU and the CPU scan cycle
of the CP. The mean value is calculated from the accumulated values as soon as the
transfer is triggered by a time trigger. Following this, the accumulation starts again so that
the next mean value can be calculated.
The mean value can also be calculated if the transmission of the analog value message is
triggered by a request from the communications partner. The duration of the mean value
calculation period is then the time from the last transmission (for example triggered by the
trigger) to the time of the request. Once again, the accumulation restarts so that the next
mean value can be calculated.
CP 1243-1 PCC
Overflow range / underflow range

Acquisition of a value in the overflow or underflow range results in the mean calculation
being stopped immediately. The value 32767 / 7FFFh or -32768 / 8000h is saved as an
invalid mean value for the current mean value calculation period and sent when the next
analog value frame is triggered. The calculation of a new mean value is then started. If the
analog value remains in the overflow or underflow range, this new value is again saved
immediately as an invalid mean value and sent when the next frame is triggered.
Note
Fault suppression time > 0 configured
If you have configured an error suppression time and then enable mean value generation,
the value of the error suppression time is grayed out but no longer used. If mean value
generation is enabled, the error suppression time is set to 0 (zero) internally.
Set start of measuring range / Set end of measuring range

In these two input boxes, you set a limit value at the start of the measuring range and at the
end of the measuring range and if these limits are violated, the transfer of a frame is
triggered. Configuration of a threshold value trigger is necessary for this function.
The range of the value that can be configured as a decimal number corresponds to the
measuring range of the analog module (-32768 ... 32767).
By configuring these two values, you specify that the values of this analog value are
transferred as a frame only in the following situations:
● When the threshold value trigger fires
● When the value of "Set start of measuring range" is exceeded
● When the value of "Set end of measuring range" is undershot
The parameters "Set start of measuring range" and Set end of measuring range" are
pointless for measured values that have already been preprocessed in the CPU.
Note
Evaluation of the value even when the option is disabled
If you enable one or both options and configure a value and then disable the option later, the
grayed out value is nevertheless evaluated.
To disable the two options, delete the previously configured values "Start of measuring
range" or "End of measuring range" from the input boxes and then disable the relevant
option.
Recommendation for quickly fluctuating analog values:

If the analog value fluctuates quickly, it may be useful to smooth the analog value first if the
"Set start of measuring range" and "Set end of measuring range" parameters are enabled.
This avoids a frame being sent every time a limit value is violated if the analog value
fluctuates close to one of the two limit values for a longer period of time.
CP 1243-1 PCC
5.11.5.4 Threshold value trigger

The CP calculates the value for the threshold value trigger after the analog value
preprocessing, refer to the section Threshold value trigger and Analog value preprocessing
(Page 48).
Threshold value trigger: How the integrattion calculation works

To calculate the threshold value trigger, the integration method is used.
In the integration threshold value calculation, it is not the absolute value of the deviation of
the process value from the last stored value that is evaluated but rather the amount of the
integrated deviation.
The calculation cycle

The integration threshold value calculation works with a cyclic comparison of the integrated
current value with the last stored value. The calculation cycle in which the two values are
compared is 500 milliseconds.
(Note: The calculation cycle must not be confused with the scan cycle of the CPU memory
areas).
The deviations of the current process value are totaled in each calculation cycle. The trigger
is set only when the totaled value reaches the configured value of the threshold value trigger
and a new process value is entered in the send buffer.
CP 1243-1 PCC
The method is explained based on the following example in which a threshold value of 2.0 is
configured.
Table 5- 4 Example of the integration calculation of a threshold value configured with 2.0
Time [s] Process value Current process Absolute deviation Integrated devia-
(calculation cycle) stored in the value from the stored tion
send buffer value
0 20.0 20.0 0 0
0.5 20.3 +0.3 0.3
1.0 19.8 -0.2 0.1
1.5 20.2 +0.2 0.3
2.0 20.5 +0.5 0.8
2.5 20.3 +0.3 1.1
3.0 20.4 +0.4 1.5
3.5 20.5 20.5 +0.5 2.0
4.0 20.4 -0.1 -0.1
4.5 20.1 -0.4 -0.5
5.0 19.9 -0.6 -1.1
5.5 20.1 -0.4 -1.5
6.0 19.9 19.9 -0.6 -2.1
In this example, a value of 2.0 was configured for the threshold value trigger.
With the changes in the process value shown in the example, the threshold value trigger
fires twice, if the value 2.0 is reached:
● At the time 3.5 s: The value of the integrated deviation is at 2.0. The new process value
stored in the send buffer is 20.5.
● At the time 6.0 s: The value of the integrated deviation is at 2.1. The new process value
stored in the send buffer is 19.9.
In this example, if a deviation of the process value of approximately 0.5 should fire the
trigger, then with the behavior of the process value shown here a threshold value of
approximately 1.5 ... 2.5 would need to be configured.
