SIMATIC NET NCM S7 for Industrial Ethernet
Release 6/2003

C79000–G8976–C129–07

In some situations, it is an advantage to set up communication connections not
over the configuration interface of STEP 7 but program-controlled by a specific
application.

Typical users who will find this useful are, for example, mass producers of
machines who want to offer their customers a simple user interface but need to
adapt the communication services to the operator input. The end user should not
need knowledge of STEP 7.

As of STEP 7 V5.2 SP1, a function block is available for these applications that
allows flexible transfer of data blocks with configuration data to an Ethernet CP.

You will find further information in the following sources:
