For the project engineering of connections, a thorough knowledge
with NetPro from Siemens is required! The following passage only
describes the basic usage of NetPro. More detailed information about
NetPro is to be found in the according online manual res. documenta-
tion. Start NetPro by clicking on a "net" in the Siemens SIMATIC
Manager or on "connections" within the CPU.
The environment of NetPro has the following structure:
1 Graphic net view:
All stations and networks are displayed in a
graphic view. By clicking on the according component you may
access and alter the concerning properties.
2 Net objects: This area displays all available net objects in a direc-
tory view. By dragging a wanted object to the net view you may
include further net objects and open them in the hardware config-
urator.
3 Connection table: The connection table lists all connections in a
table. This list is only shown when you highlighted a connectable
module like e.g. a CPU. You may insert new connections into this
table with the according command.
You receive the following graphical display for every PLC station and
their component. By selecting the single components, the context
menu offers you several functions:
1 Station: This includes a PLC station with rack, CPU and communi-
cation components. Via the context menu you may configure a
station added from the net objects and its concerning components
in the hardware configurator. After returning to NetPro, the new
configured components are shown.
2 CPU: A click onto the CPU shows the connection table. The con-
nection table shows all connections that are configured for the
CPU.
3 Internal communication components: This displays the communi-
cation components that are available in your CPU. The PRO-
FINET IO controller is to be configured by the PN-IO component.
4 Ethernet PG/OP channel: The internal Ethernet PG/OP channel
must always be configured as external CP in the hardware config-
uration. This CP only serves the PG/OP communication. Configu-
rable connections are not possible.
