The following communications services are supported:
●
Communication is based on the DNP3 SPECIFICATION Version 2.x (2007/2009).
The CP is a communications processor of the SIMATIC S7-1200 for system connection to
control centers using the DNP3 protocol for telecontrol applications.
An S7-1200 with CP 1243-1 DNP3 operates as a DNP3 station (Outstation).
The CP supports the implementation level 1 - 4 (DNP3 Application Layer protocol Level).
You will find a description of the other functions in the section Partner stations (Page 46).
●
– PUT/GET as client and server for data exchange with remote stations (S7-
300/400/1200/1500)
– PG functions
– Operator control and monitoring functions (HMI)
●
Communication is based on the specification IEC 60870-5 Part 1 - 5 (1990 - 1995) and
part 104 (2000).
The CP is a communications processor of the SIMATIC S7-1200 for system connection to
control centers using the IEC 60870-5 protocol for telecontrol applications.
An S7-1200 with CP 1243-1 IEC operates as a substation (slave).
●
– PUT/GET as client and server for data exchange with remote stations (S7-

●
Due to the data point configuration in STEP 7, programming program blocks in order to
transfer the process data is unnecessary. The individual data points are processed oneto-one in the control system.
●
The DNP3 CP can use the security functions specified in the DNP3 protocol and
therefore secure communication in the DNP3 network, including the following:
– Secure authentication (SA) of the communications partner
The DNP3 CP checks whether the communications partner has the right to access the
DNP3 CP.
Formation of the Message Authentication Code (MAC) using symmetrical (pre-shared
key, PSK) or asymmetrical cryptography (public/private keys)
Use of IPsec for transferring the key
– Logging of security events: Successful and failed authentication, key exchange,
statistical counters
You enable the security functions in the STEP 7 configuration with the required options.
Time-of-day synchronization over Industrial Ethernet
Redundancy
Storage of events
Data transfer is on request or triggered
Messages / e-mail
Analog value processing
1.2 Other services and properties
●
The essential features of IP configuration for the CP:
– The CP supports IP addresses according to IPv4 and IPv6.
– An IPv6 address can be used in addition to an IPv4 address.
– Address assignment:
The IP address, the subnet mask and the address of a gateway can be set manually
in the configuration.
As an alternative, the IP address can be obtained from a DHCP server or by other
means outside the configuration.
●
The CP can the have its local time of day synchronized by the partner (master) as UTC
time.
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 35).
●
The CP can communicate with a redundant control system (master).
●
The CP can store events of different classes and transfer them together to the master.
●
The sending of data to the master can be triggered in two ways:
– At the request of the master
– Triggered by various selectable criteria
●
With configured events in the process image of the CPU, the CP can send messages as
e-mails. The data of the events to be sent by e-mail are configured using PLC tags.
●
Analog values can be preprocessed on the CP according to various methods.
From an engineering station (ES) on which STEP 7 is installed, you can use the online
functions of STEP 7 via the CP to access the S7-1200 CPU if the station is located in the
same IP subnet. The following online functions are available:
– Downloading project or program data from the STEP 7 project to the station
– Querying diagnostics data on the station
– Downloading firmware files to the CP
For a remote station located in a different IP subnet or that can be reached via the
Internet, these functions can only be used if the ES is connected to the station via a VPN
tunnel (for example via a SCALANCE S).
●
As an SNMP agent, the CP supports data queries using SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) in version V1.
For more detailed information, refer to section Communication types and SNMP
(Page 42).
In each S7-1200 station, up to three CMs/CPs can be plugged in and configured; this means
a maximum of three identical CP 1243-1 DNP3 or three identical CP 1243-1 IEC modules.
●
The CP can establish connections to up to 4 masters. These can be single or redundant
masters.
In the case of 4 redundant masters, this would be 8 physical devices addressed using
different IP addresses.
●
1 connection resource is reserved for online functions / TeleService.
●
8 connection resources for S7 connections (PUT/GET)

DNP3 device profile
Detailed information on DNP3 attributes in the DNP3 device profile
1.4 DNP3 device profile
The maximum number of configurable data points is 200.
The data to be transferred by the CP is assigned to various data points in the STEP 7
configuration. The size of the user data per data point depends on the data type of the
relevant data point.
With the DNP3 CP, contiguous memory areas can be transferred up to a size of 64 bytes
using data point types of the object groups 110 (Octet String) and 111 (Octet String Event).
You will find details in the information system of STEP 7 and in the section Datapoint types
(Page 35).
The CP has a frame memory (send buffer) for data points configured as an event.
The send buffer has a maximum size of 64000 events divided into equal parts for all
configured communications partners. The size of the frame memory can be set in STEP 7,
refer to the section Communication with the CPU (Page 49).
You will find details of how the send buffer works (storing and sending events) as well as the
options for transferring data in the section Types of transmission, event classes, triggers
(Page 39).
Up to 10 messages can be configured in STEP 7 and sent as e-mails.
You will find a detailed overview of the attributes and properties specified in the DNP3
protocol and supported by the CP in the DNP3 device profile.
You will find the DNP3 device profile of the CP 1243-1 DNP3 on the Internet pages of

1.5 Configuration examples
The following example describes a configuration with a non-redundant control center in
which all nodes are located in 1 IP subnet.
In this example, the DNP3 protocol is used; in other words, the stations are equipped with a
CP 1243-1 DNP3.
A configuration in which the IEC protocol is used would have the same setup apart from the
CP type (here CP 1243-1 IEC).
Figure 1-1 Configuration example with a non-redundant control center and stations in one IP subnet
The S7-1200 stations are connected to the Internet via the CP and connected to the control
center.
When using the DNP3 protocol, for example, SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl or the system of a
third-party provider can be used as the control center. If you use SIMATIC PCS 7
TeleControl as the DPN3 master in the control center, you require the necessary DPN3
driver.
