Types of communication with the CM 1243-5 in DP-V1

The following types of communication are available with DP-V1:

● Cyclic communication

The CM supports cyclic communication for the transfer of process data between DP slave

and DP master.

Cyclic communication is handled by the operating system of the CPU. No instructions or

software blocks are required for this. The I/O data is read or written directly from/to the

process image of the CPU.

● Acyclic communication

The CM also supports acyclic communication:

– The "RALRM" instruction is available for receiving interrupts of the DP slaves.

– The "RDREC" and "WRREC" instructions are available for transferring configuration,

diagnostics or I/O data.

Functions not supported by the CM 1243-5:

● SYNC / FREEZE

● Get_Master_Diag

Other communications services of the CM 1243-5

The CM 1243-5 supports the following additional communications services:

● S7 communication

– PUT/GET services

The DP master functions as a client and server for queries from other S7 controllers or

PCs via PROFIBUS.

– PG/OP communication

The PG functions allow the downloading of configuration data and user programs from

a PG and the transfer of diagnostics data to a PG.

Possible communications partners for OP communication are HMI panels, SIMATIC

panel PCs with WinCC flexible or SCADA systems that support S7 communication.

Operating Instructions, 05/2012, C79000-G8976-C246-04 9

1.3 Performance data

Number of CPs/CMs that can be plugged in per S7-1200 station

You can configure a maximum of three CMs/CPs per station. The maximum number of DP

master modules depends on the firmware version of the CPU in the master station:

● CM 1243-5 + CPU with firmware version V2.x: Maximum of 1 DP master (CM 1243-5)

● CM 1243-5 + CPU with firmware version V3.x: Maximum of 3 DP masters (CM 1243-5)

Transmission speeds of the CM 1243-5

As the transmission speed on PROFIBUS, values of 9.6 kbps to 12 Mbps are permitted for

the CM.

Characteristic data of the DP interface of the CM 1243-5

● Number of operable DP slaves

The number of DP slaves that can be operated with the DP master depends on the

STEP 7 version, the firmware version of the CPU in the master station and the firmware

version of the CM 1243-5:

– CM 1243-5 with firmware version V1.2: Maximum of 32 DP slaves

– CM 1243-5 with firmware version V1.0/V1.1: Maximum of 16 DP slaves

You will find the required STEP 7 version and firmware version of the CPU in the section

Requirements for operation (Page 10).

In conjunction with a CPU with firmware version 2.x, the maximum number of operable

DP slaves is reduced by the following modules or nodes:

– CM 1242-5 slave modules plugged into the station of the DP Master

– PROFINET IO devices connected to the station of the DP Master

Example:

The DP master module CM 1243-5 is plugged into the station.

There are also two CM 1242-5 DP slave modules plugged into the station.

5 PROFINET IO devices are also connected to the CPU.

In this case, the maximum number of DP slaves that can be operated with the

CM 1243-5 is 25. (32 -2 -5 = 25)

● Number of operable slots

Total number of operable slots: Maximum 256

Any distribution of the slots as I slots and Q slots is permitted.

Note

Bi-directional slots are counted double.

A DP master and all DP slaves with which this DP master exchanges data.

DP mode

Communication between the DP master and DP slaves can be divided into four modes:

OFFLINE, STOP, CLEAR, RUN (corresponds to OPERATE according to the DP standard)

Each of these modes is characterized by defined actions between the DP master and the DP

slaves.

DP module name

Name of one of the DP I/O modules entered in the DP module list.

DP module type

Name to identify a DP I/O module in the generic station data of a DP slave in compliance

with EN 50170, Vol 2.

DP protocol

The rules for communication and data transmission according to the communications

standard for the field area (IEC 61158) and PROFIBUS standard (EN 50170).

Note:

The DP protocol is used in the distributed peripheral I/O (DP) and allows distributed use of

numerous modules and other field devices in the immediate vicinity of the process.

DP slave

A node with slave functionality on PROFIBUS DP

DP slave name

To identify a DP slave in the configured DP configuration, a DP slave name is entered in the

DP slave list.

DP subnet

PROFIBUS subnet on which only distributed I/O is operated.

FREEZE mode

The FREEZE mode is a DP mode in which process input data is obtained at the same time

from one or more (group) or from all DP slaves. The time of acquisition is signaled by the

FREEZE command (this is a control frame for synchronization).

Group identification

Allows the assignment of DP slaves to one or more groups. The DP slaves can be

addressed specifically when transferring control frames using the group identification.

SYNC mode

A DP mode in which one, several (group) or all DP slaves transfer data to their process

outputs at a certain time. The time at which the data is transferred is indicated in the SYNC

command (a control command for synchronization).

UNFREEZE

Job for resetting the FREEZE mode.

UNSYNC

Job for resetting the SYNC mode.

Watchdog time

A monitoring time that can be set on a DP slave to detect failure of the controlling DP

master.
