Application and properties
1.2 Communications services
Telecontrol communication
The following applications are possible if telecontrol communication is enabled in the
configuration of the CP.
● Communication with a control center
Remote S7-1200 stations communicate via the mobile wireless network and the Internet
with a telecontrol server in the master station. The telecontrol server communicates with a
higher-level control system using the integrated OPC server function.
● Event-driven sending of messages using SMS or e-mail
Via the mobile wireless network, the CP sends SMS messages to mobile phones or e-
mails to PCs with an Internet connection.
Both types of messages are configured in telecontrol communication in STEP 7. The use
of program blocks is not necessary.
For information on the configuration, refer to sections E-mail configuration (Page 75) and
Messages (Page 86).
● Inter-station communication between S7-1200 stations via the telecontrol server
In this application, the CP establishes a connection to the telecontrol server via the
mobile wireless network. The telecontrol server forwards the messages to the destination
station.
For this communications service, the CP and TCSB use their own protocol on OSI layer 7
that among other things supports certain security functions, see section Other services and
properties (Page 14).

Application and properties
1.3 Other services and properties
● Time-of-day synchronization
– When telecontrol communication is enabled, the CP obtains its local time of day as
UTC time from the partner (TCSB). The time of day can be read from the CPU. 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 48).
If telecontrol communication is disabled, the time of day can be obtained from an NTP
server.
– If the security functions are enabled, the secure method NTP (secure) can be used.
For more information, refer to the section Time-of-day synchronization (Page 64).
● Access to the Web server of the CPU
With the aid of the Web server of the CPU, you can read out module data from the
station.
● 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 telecontrol server.
● Data transfer is on request or triggered
The telecontrol communication with TCSB is triggered in two ways:
– After a request by TCSB or an OPC client connected to TCSB
– Triggered by various selectable criteria
Logging status data and its transfer to the telecontrol server
For example:
– Data volumes transferred
– ID of the wireless cell in the area of the station
– GSM signal strength
– Communication status
etc.
● Analog value processing
Analog values can be preprocessed on the CP according to various methods.
● Diagnostics SMS message
At the request of a mobile phone, the CP sends an SMS message with diagnostics data
to this mobile phone.

Note
Plants with security requirements - recommendation
Use the following option:
• 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.

3.1 Important notes on using the device
Overvoltage protection
NOTICE
Protection of the external power supply
If power is supplied to the module or station over longer power cables or networks, the
coupling in of strong electromagnetic pulses onto the power supply cables is possible. This
can be caused, for example by lightning strikes or switching of higher loads.
The connector of the external power supply is not protected from strong electromagnetic
pulses. To protect it, an external overvoltage protection module is necessary. The
requirements of EN61000-4-5, surge immunity tests on power supply lines, are met only
when a suitable protective element is used. A suitable device is, for example, the Dehn
Blitzductor BVT AVD 24, article number 918 422 or a comparable protective element.

4.3 Information required for configuration
General information
The following information is required for the STEP 7 configuration of the CP:
● Own phone number of the CP (required for TeleService)
● Authorized phone numbers
Phone numbers of the nodes that are allowed to send an SMS to the CP.
● APN
Name of the access point (APN) from the mobile wireless network to the Internet
(information from the mobile wireless network provider)
● APN user name
User name for the access point of the mobile wireless network provider
● APN password
Password for the access point of the mobile wireless network provider
● Node number of the SMS master station (SMSC) when using SMS
● PIN of the SIM card
Note
Configured PIN and PIN on the SIM card must match.
If you enter the PIN of the SIM card of the CP incorrectly during STEP 7 configuration and
download the station, the CP stores the wrong PIN. An incorrectly entered PIN is transferred
by the CP only once so that the SIM card is not locked.
If you change the PIN of the SIM card externally to the incorrectly configured PIN (new PIN
of the SIM card = incorrectly entered PIN in STEP 7), the CP rejects this PIN again without
checking it.
Note
Solution after entering an incorrect PIN:
To avoid the PIN being rejected by the CP again, use a PIN that is different from the
incorrectly entered PIN. Procedure:
• If the PIN of the SIM card was not changed:
– Configure the PIN in STEP 7 with the PIN of the SIM card.
– Reload the station.
• If the original PIN of the SIM card was changed externally to the PIN that was previously
incorrectly entered in STEP 7:
– Change the PIN of the SIM card externally to a new PIN that has not yet been
incorrectly configured in STEP 7.
– Change the configured PIN in STEP 7 to the newly assigned PIN of the SIM card.
– Reload the station.

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 78).
● 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 tag is evaluated that is set by the
user program. When necessary, a separate trigger tag can be configured for each data
point.
Resetting the trigger tag in the bit memory area / DB:
If the memory area of the trigger tag is in the bit memory or in a data block, the trigger tag
is reset to zero when the data point value is transferred.
You specify whether the value of a data point is transferred to the communications partner
immediately after the trigger fires or after a delay in the "Transmission mode" parameter.
Transmission mode
The transmission mode of a frame is set in the "Trigger" tab of the data point. With the two
options, you specify whether frames of events are sent immediately or following a delay:
● Unsolicited
The value is transferred immediately.
● Conditional spontaneous
The value is transferred only when one of the two following conditions is fulfilled:
– The communications partner queries the station.
– The value of another event with the transmission mode "Unsolicited" is transferred.

4.13.1 VPN
VPN tunnel
Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology for secure transportation of confidential data in
public IP networks, for example the Internet. With VPN, a secure connection (tunnel) is set
up and operated between two secure IT systems or networks via a non-secure network.
One of the main features of the VPN tunnel is that it forwards all frames even from protocols
of higher layers (HTTP, FTP telecontrol protocols of the application layer etc.).
The data traffic between two network components is transported practically unrestricted
through another network. This allows entire networks to be connected together via a
neighboring or intermediate network.
Properties
● VPN forms a logical subnet that is embedded in a neighboring (assigned) network. VPN
uses the usual addressing mechanisms of the assigned network, however in terms of the
data, it transports its own frames and therefore operates independent of the rest of this
network.
● VPN allows communication of the VPN partners in the subnet with the assigned network.
● VPN is based on tunnel technology and can be individually configured.
● Communication between the VPN partners is protected from eavesdropping or
manipulation by using passwords, public keys or a digital certificate (authentication).
Areas of application
● Local area networks can be connected together securely via the Internet ("site-to-site"
connection).
● Secure access to a company network ("end-to-site" connection)
● Secure access to a server ("end-to-end" connection)
● Communication between two servers without being accessible to third parties (end-to-end
or host-to-host connection)
● Ensuring information security in networked automation systems
● Securing the computer systems including the associated data communication within an
automation network or secure remote access via the Internet
● Secure remote access from a PC/PG to automation devices or networks protected by
security modules via public networks.

Requirements
To allow a VPN tunnel to be created for S7 communication between two S7 stations or
between an S7 station and an engineering station with a security CP (for example CP 1628),
the following requirements must be met:
● The two stations have been configured.
● The CPs in both stations must support the security functions.
● The Ethernet interfaces of the two stations are located in the same subnet.
● All receiving stations require a fixed IP address to be reachable via the public networks.
For this, a special mobile wireless contract is normally necessary for the mobile wireless
CP.
Note
Communication also possible via an IP router
Communication between the two stations is also possible via an IP router. To use this
communications path, however, you need to make further settings.

Note
Current date and current time on the CP for VPN connections
Normally, to establish a VPN connection and the associated recognition of the certificates to
be exchanged, the current date and the current time are required on both stations.
The establishment of a VPN connection to an engineering station that is also the telecontrol
server at the same time (TCSB installed), runs as follows along with the time of day
synchronization of the CP:
On the engineering station (with TCSB), you want the CP to establish a VPN connection.
The VPN connection is established even if the CP does not yet have the current time.
Otherwise the certificates used are evaluated as valid and the secure communication will
work.
Following connection establishment, the CP synchronizes its time of day with the PC
because the telecontrol server is the time master if telecontrol communication is enabled.
Note
Specifying the VPN properties of the CPs
You specify the VPN properties of the CPs in the "Security" > "Firewall" > "VPN" parameter
group of the relevant module.
Result
You have created a VPN tunnel. The firewalls of the CPs are activated automatically: The
"Activate firewall" check box is selected as default when you create a VPN group. You
cannot deselect the check box.
Download the configuration to all modules that belong to the VPN group.

The settings made here apply globally to all configured TCP connections of the CP. If
telecontrol communication is enabled, this is the connection to the telecontrol server.
Note the option of overwriting the general value configured here for individual
communications partners, refer to the section Partner stations (Page 70).
(Note: The settings made here do not apply to connections programmed for Open User
Communication with the program blocks.)
Reconnection delay
The settings made here apply to the connection to the telecontrol server.
The reconnection delay is the waiting time between repeated attempts to establish the
connection by the CP when the telecontrol server is not reachable or the connection has
aborted.
This waiting time avoids continuous connection establishment attempts at short intervals if
there are connection problems.
A basic value is configured for the waiting time before the next connection establishment
attempt. Starting at the basic value, the current waiting time is doubled after every 3
unsuccessful retries up to a maximum value of 900 s.
Range of values for the basic value: 10 to 600 s.
Example: The basic value 20 results in the following intervals (waiting times) between the
attempts to re-establish a connection:
● three times 20 s
● three times 40 s
● three times 80 s
● etc. up to max. 900 s

If the user program of the CPU sets the PLC tag "Diagnostics trigger tag" (BOOL) to 1,
the CP updates the values of the configured PLC tags for advanced diagnostics. After
writing the current values to the PLC tags for advanced diagnostics, the CP sets the
"Diagnostics trigger tag" to 0 signaling the CPU that the updated values can be read from
the PLC tags.
Reading out the following diagnostics data can be enabled selectively:
● Send buffer overflow

If your e-mail service provider only supports encrypted transfer, use one of the following
options:
● Port no. 587
By using STARTTLS, the CP sends encrypted e-mails to the SMTP server of your e-mail
service provider.
Recommendation: If your e-mail provider offers both options (STARTTLS / SSL/TLS), you
should use STARTTLS with port 587.
● Port no. 465
By using SSL/TLS (SMTPS), the CP sends encrypted e-mails to the SMTP server of your
e-mail service provider.
Ask your e.mail service provider which option is supported.

The method is explained based on the following example in which a threshold value of 2.0 is
configured.
Table 4- 3 Example of the integration calculation of a threshold value configured with 2.0
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.

Unipolar transfer
With unipolar transfer, negative values are corrected to zero. This can be desirable if values
from the underrange should not be transferred as real measured values.
Exception: The value -32768 / 8000h for wire break of live zero inputs is transferred.
Unipolar transfer cannot be configured at the same time as mean value generation.
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.

5.3 TC_CONFIG for changing configuration data of the CP
Meaning
With the program block TC_CONFIG , you can modify parameters of a the CP configured in
STEP 7. The configured values are not overwritten retentively. The overwritten values
remain valid until TC_CONFIG is called again or until the station starts up again (cold restart
after cycling power).
If the STEP 7 configuration data of the CP needs to be changed permanently, the block
needs to be called again each time the station restarts (cold restart) or a modified project
must be downloaded to the station.
The CONFIG parameter points to the memory area with the configuration data. The
configuration data is stored in a data block (DB). The DB cannot be created with optimized
block access. The structure of the DB is specified by the system data type (SDT) IF_CONF.
The configuration data to be modified on the CP is put together as necessary in blocks in
IF_CONF "IF_CONF_..." for the individual parameters.
Parameters that are not intended to change as a result of the block are not entered in
IF_CONF. They retain the value configured in STEP 7.
For detailed information on programming IF_CONF, refer to the section IF_CONF: SDT for
the configuration data of the CP (Page 99).
The INTERFACE parameter references the name of the interface of the mobile wireless CP.
You will find the name of the interface in the STEP 7 project in the standard tag table of the
station in the "System constants" tab under the entry with the value of the "Hardware
identifier" of the CP.
