This mode activates a connection via the standard network interface of the computer. You can only use this mode in combination with S7-1200 CPUs (V4 or higher) and S7-1500 CPUs.
ibaPDA supports access to both optimized and non-optimized blocks.
Connection mode
Selection of the TCP/IP S7-1x00 connection mode.
Connection type
Selection of the connection type PG, OP, or other connections (determines which type of connection resource is occupied on the CPU).
Timeout
Specify a value for the timeout in seconds for establishing the connection and for read access. If the time set here is exceeded, ibaPDA declares the controller as not accessible or not responsive.
Address
IP address of the controller
Port
Number of destination port on the controller
Note |
|
|---|---|
 |
For the communication with the CPU, the port that is specified here must be allowed in the target system. If data traffic passes through an external firewall, you must also allow the specified port in this firewall. |
Port
Nummer des Ziel-Ports auf der Steuerung (Destination port)
Hinweis |
|
|---|---|
|
Für die Kommunikation mit der CPU muss im Zielsystem der hier eingestellte Port freigegeben sein. Falls der Datenverkehr über eine externe Firewall läuft, dann müssen Sie den eingestellten Port auch in dieser Firewall freigeben. |
Local port
By default, Windows assigns the local TCP port for S7 connections dynamically. Here, you can specify a static port if required.
Password
Depending on the configuration in the controller, access to the PLC may be protected by a password. In this case, enter this password here.
Use secure communication
The S7-1500 controller supports secure communication via TLS encryption with TIA Portal v17 or higher. In TIA Portal, you can set secure PG/PC and HMI communication. If you have activated this option in the controller, you must also activate secure communication in ibaPDA.
CPU Name
Selection of the linked address book (only TIA Portal address books available).
Note |
|
|---|---|
|
The TCP/IP S7-1x00 connection mode does not support the use of absolute operand addresses. |
<Test>
ibaPDA tests the connection to the CPU and displays available diagnostic data.
<Load address book from S7>
By clicking on this button ibaPDA reads the list of symbols directly from the PLC and stores it in an address book for further use in the symbol browser.
In case of an S7-1500, please consider the option to enable access protection.
For further information, see Configuration of S7-1200 and S7-1500.
