One interface for connecting to Industrial Ethernet with an RJ45 connection at 10/100/1000 Mbps full/half duplex with autonegotiation and autocrossover functionality
Supported communication services on this interface:
As OPC UA server: Read/write access for data exchange (DA), access via subscriptions
As OPC UA client: Read/write access for data exchange (DA). Communication via standardized function blocks in accordance with PLCopen
PG communication for configuring the CP, cross-network through S7 routing
Time-of-day forwarding to the CPU as NTP time client (optionally secure NTP)
Module replacement without programming device: All configuration information can be stored on the CPU
The CP can operate simultaneously as an OPC UA server and OPC UA client. For corresponding restrictions of the quantity structure, see the manual.
Diagnostics and network management:
With https via web browser.
Standard and extended diagnostics in STEP 7 V5.5/STEP 7 Professional (TIA Portal) V14
Integration into network management systems through support for SNMP V1 or SNMP V3
Security mechanisms:
Access to the data using fundamental OPC UA security functions (authentication by certificate, encryption, and data signing)
Secure network management integration (SNMPv3)
Secure time-of-day transfer (NTP-secured)
Secure firmware updating
Secure web server communication (HTTPS)
Traceability by means of data logging on the basis of standard IT mechanisms (syslog)
Counterfeit detection
Configuring:
Configuring is performed using Step 7 V5.5 SP4 incl. HF 8 and HSP. The security functions are configured using the Security Configuration Tool (SCT) V4.2 and higher
It will be possible to configure the CP including the security functions in STEP 7 Professional (TIA Portal) V14 and higher
