• Connection of SIMATIC S7-400 to Industrial Ethernet
  • Multi-protocol operation for ISO, TCP/IP, UDP and PROFINET IO protocols
  • Adjustable keep-alive function
• Two separate interfaces (integrated network separation):
  • Gigabit interface with one RJ45 port with 10/100/1 000 Mbit/s, full/half-duplex with auto-sensing capability
  • PROFINET interface with four RJ45 ports with 10/100 Mbit/s, full/half duplex with autosensing and autocrossover functionality via integrated 4-port switch
• Communications services via both interfaces
  • Open communication (ISO, TCP/IP and UDP), multicast with UDP, including routing between both interfaces
  • PG/OP communication:
    Cross-network by means of S7 routing
  • S7 communication (client, server, multiplexing) including routing between both interfaces
  • IT communication:
    HTTP communication supports access to process data via own Web pages;
    e-mail client function, sending of e-mails with authentication directly from user program;
    FTP communication supports program-controlled FTP client communication;
    access to data blocks through FTP server
• Communications services via PROFINET interface
  • PROFINET IO controller with real-time properties (RT and IRT)
  • PROFINET CBA
  • IP address assignment via DHCP, simple PC tool or via the user program (e.g. HMI)
  • Support of the prioritized startup of PROFINET IO devices
  • Configuration with STEP 7
• Media redundancy (MRP);
  the CP supports the media redundancy procedure MRP within an Ethernet network with ring topology.
• Access protection by means of configurable IP access list
• Module replacement without programming device;
  all information is stored on the C-PLUG (also file system for IT functions)
• Extensive diagnostic functions for all modules in the rack
• Integration into network management systems through the support of SNMP V1 MIB-II
• Operation in the SIMATIC H system for redundant S7-communication
• Operation in fail-safe applications (PROFIsafe) in combination with SIMATIC S7-400 CPU 416F
