1 Introduction1Introduction1.1OverviewInitial situationThe widely used File Transfer Protocol (FTP) provides you with the option to storedata on server systems. FTP supports almost all server and operating systems.Via special communications processors (CPs), all controllers of the S7-300, S7-400and S7-1500 product families support FTP communication.This application example shows you how, based on open user communication(TCON, TSEND, TRCV and TDISCON), even an S7-1200 or S7-1500 can use FTPcommunication without a special CP with certain FTP servers.NoteThe function of this application example can only be guaranteed with the FTPservers tested (Configuring the FTP server chapter).Overview of the application example Siemens AG 2018 All rights reservedThe following figure provides an overview of the automation example.Figure 1-1Integrating the S7-1200 / S7-1500into the existing FTP environmentFTP serverFTPPROFINET IE S7-1500S7-300 withCP 343-1S7-400 withCP 443-1Standard solutionFTP Communication S7-1200 S7-1500Entry ID: 81367009, V3.4, 04/2018S7-1500 withCP 1543-1S7-1200ET 200SPCPUSolution without CP4
1 IntroductionDescriptionIn many projects and plants, it is necessary to exchange process data betweencontrollers and servers or PCs so that the data produced there can also be usedoutside the control level. This is made possible by standardized protocols. FTP is asimple protocol that operates on the client-server principle and fulfills this task.Until now, users who used an S7-300, S7-400 or S7-1500 could exchange processdata only with a CP via FTP using an FTP server. This application exampleintegrates the S7-1200 and S7-1500 into the existing FTP environment without acommunications processor.AdvantagesThe solution presented here offers the following advantages:Simple and easy to understand FTP communication with an S7-1200 orS7-1500 via the "Ftp1X00Cmd" block. The command set of the block corresponds to that of FTP communication viaS7-300, S7-400 or S7-1500 controllers with a CP.The FTP function block supplied with this application example exclusivelyperforms FTP client functions.Note Siemens AG 2018 All rights reserved Comparison of the most important FTP features in the SIMATIC S7 environmentThe following table lists the different options for using FTP in the SIMATIC S7environment.Table 1-1FTP featureS7-300 or S7-400(CP 343-1 / 443-1)S7-1500(CP 1543-1)S7-1200 and S7-1500("Ftp1X00Cmd" FB) (CP 343-1 / 443-1)(CP 1543-1) 10/20324 With a special CPFTP serverNumber ofsimultaneous clientconnectionsActive FTPPassive FTPFTPSFull S7 FTP commandsetFTP Communication S7-1200 S7-1500Entry ID: 81367009, V3.4, 04/20185
