2.1 SNMP and CP 1616/CP 1604

Diagnostics with SNMP

Using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), a network management

station can configure and monitor SNMP-compliant devices. To allow this, a
management agent is installed on the device with which the management station
exchanges data using Get and Set requests.

MIB

A MIB (Management Information Base) is a type of database containing the

description of the objects and functions of a device. SNMP clients access this
information.

A distinction is made between standardized and private MIBs:

Standardized MIBs are described in RFC documents.

Private MIBs contain product-specific expansions.

MIB II describes a set of SNMP variables that is normally supported by all

SNMP-compliant devices.

CP 1616/CP 1604
C79000-G8976-C218-01 13
 Diagnostics with SNMP

SNMP V1 and SNMP V2 Protocols

With the SNMP V1 and SNMP V2 protocols, all the objects of MIB-II relevant for
the product and the objects of a private MIB can be queried.

SNMP-compliance of a CP 1616/CP 1604

A management agent is integrated in the CP 1616/CP 1604.

The CP 1616/CP 1604 supports the SNMP V1 and SNMP V2 protocols.

In the MIB-II, the CP 1616/CP 1604 contains all groups except "egp and
transmission" and "at".

Security Concept

Access with SNMP is controlled by the concept of communities.

Access Community
Read-only access public
Read and write access private

2.2 SIMATIC NET SNMP OPC Server

Description

The SIMATIC NET SNMP OPC server makes available the SNMP information from
TCP/IP networks on the OPC interface with SNMP. Using the SIMATIC NET
SNMP OPC server, any OPC client systems can access diagnostic and parameter
data of SNMP-compliant components, for example the product WinCC.

Non SNMP-compliant components can also be included in the plant visualization

using their IP addresses. Apart from simple device diagnostics, this also allows
detailed information such as the network load distributions of entire TCP/IP
networks. With the additional monitoring of this data, device failures can be
detected and localized quickly. This improves operational reliability and increases
plant availability. You configure the devices to be monitored by the SIMATIC NET
SNMP OPC-Server with STEP 7 (alternatively with NCM PC).

You will find further information on the SIMATIC NET SNMP OPC server on the
Internet at the URL:
http://www.siemens.com/snmp-opc-server

Note
The SIMATIC NET SNMP OPC server is not part of this product.

 Diagnostics with SNMP

Profile Files and MIB Compilers

The range of information that can be monitored by the devices with the SIMATIC
NET SNMP OPC server depends on the particular device profile.

With the integrated MIB compiler of STEP 7/NCM PC, existing profiles can be
modified and new device profiles created for any SNMP-compliant device. It
requires MIB files according to the SMIv1 standard.

The SMIv1 MIB of the CP 1616/CP 1604 ("sncp1616.mib"/"sncp1604.mib") and a

complete device profile ("Profil_CP1616_V20.txt"/"Profil_CP1604_V20.txt") are
available on the supplied product CD or can be downloaded from Support.

4.1 What is IO routing and when is it used?

Definition

Using IO routing, process data is exchanged between two PROFINET IO systems.

Example
A process controller user program controls a robot.
IO routing makes input/output data of the robot controller accessible to a main
controller that can both read and write the data.

IO routing is a function that is configured for the IO Base interface.

When does it make sense to use IO routing?

The advantages of IO routing are in situations when a complex plant or machine is

planned with networked PROFINET IO systems.

Note
IO routing functionality is available only with PROFINET IO RT.

4.2 What types of IO routing exist?

Read and write

From the perspective of the main controller, there are three IO routing tasks:

Reading process inputs

Writing process outputs

Reading process outputs

Reading Process Inputs

Inputs are always read module-oriented.

This means that the main controller (and the process controller) can only ever read
all bits of a module.

Writing Process Outputs

When writing process outputs, on the other hand, there are two possible ways of
writing:

Writing module-oriented
All process outputs of a module are written by the main controller (module-
oriented).

Writing bit-oriented
Individual configured process output bits or bit areas are written by the main
controller.

Reading Process Outputs

Outputs are always read module-oriented.

This means that the main controller can only ever read all bits of a module.

4.3 How does the IO router work?

Requirements

A CP 1616 or CP 1604 communications processor is required in a PC station. Only

these CPs can be both IO controller and IO device at the same time.

Configuration

The CP is first configured as an IO controller. Its process controller user program

serves the IO devices assigned to it on the Ethernet bus.

The same CP is also configured as an IO device of a main controller. This

IO device is assigned transfer modules in the configuration that represent the
routed data.

Note 1
The program for this IO device on the PC station can be any IO device user
program. It must simply run through the full initialization phase according to the
IO Base user program.

Note 2
You do not need to worry about the transfer modules in your C user program
because they are managed by the system itself.
A sample C program for an IO device user program ("dev_easy) is available on
the SIMATIC NET software product CD.

Data Exchange

The data exchange between the input/output data of the process controller and
input/output data of the main controller is established automatically by the IO
router.

Input data is transferred only module-oriented.

If you also use the function for writing outputs bit-oriented, the data from the
process controller user program is "mixed" with the data of the main controller
according to the configuration; see Section 4.4.

Note on the IO-Base User Programming Interface

To support IO router functions, there are also two diagnostics services available
(PNIO_CTRL_DIAG_CONFIG_IOROUTER_PRESENT,
PNIO_CTRL_DIAG_CONFIG_OUTPUT_SLICE_LIST). Using these services, all
output areas that can be written by the process controller user program can be
identified.

4.4 Examples of Reading and Writing

Introduction

The examples provided here describe the IO router functions.

Description

A PC station contains an IO controller user program known as the process

controller that serves its IO devices over a CP 1616/CP 1604.

Outside the PC station, there is an external IO controller known as the main

controller that can write and read input/output bits of the process controller over
the IO router.

Process data is exchanged using the IO router functions.

Description

The input modules with addresses 100.0 to 100.7 and a length of 1 byte are read
by the process controller user program.

main controller over transfer module 1.

4.4.3 Example of the Main and Robot Controller Writing Output Data

Description

Both the process controller and the main controller will write input/output bits in
output module 100. A transfer relation is therefore configured for address 1 in the
transfer module.

The table and schematic show which bits are written by the main controller and
which by the process controller.

4.4.4 Summary of the Properties of IO Routing

Read

Both IO controllers can read input modules of the process device at the same time.

Write

An output bit can only be written by one of the two IO controllers.

Two IO controllers can nevertheless write different bits of the same output byte.

Write/read access by the process controller to the input/output data of the process
image is module- and byte-oriented over the IO Base interface.

Notice
The process controller may not write to output modules in the process image that
are configured fully for write access by the main controller.

Data Status

Note the following about the data status if two IO controllers write to the same
module:

Note
The local data status of a module written by two IO controllers is only GOOD if the
local status of both writes is GOOD.

4.5 Configuring IO Routing

Description

You configure the IO router in the STEP 7/NCM PC program.

In principle, the IO router is configured as follows.

Step Description
1 Configure the CP 1616 in two networks:
In the network of the main controller as IO device
In the network of the process controller as IO controller
2 Configure the IO router:
Reading input modules is illustrated by example 1.
Writing outputs bit-oriented is illustrated by example 2.

Note
For a more detailed description of the configuration of IO routing, refer to the
configuration manual "Commissioning PC Stations.
