1.1 Overview
Introduction
In automation technology, old plants are increasingly being retrofitted completely or
step by step from SIMATIC S5 to SIMATIC S7-1500.
A partial migration usually takes place in such a way that SIMATIC S5 stations of
an old plant are successively replaced by a SIMATIC S7-1500. However, the
communication relationships to other SIMATIC S5 stations must be maintained.
This application example describes how to couple a SIMATIC S5 to a
SIMATIC S7-1500 via serial communication.
Overview of the automation task

The following figure shows a frequently occurring structure in existing SIMATIC S5
plants.

1 Introduction
Description of the automation task

The application example describes the following serial communications:
• 3964(R) protocol
• Freeport (S7-1500) or "Open Driver" (SIMATIC S5)
Definition 3964(R)
The 3964(R) protocol controls the data transmission in a point-to-point coupling
between the communication module and a communication partner. The 3964(R)
protocol contains the physical layer (layer 1) and the link layer (layer 2).
Definition Freeport
Freeport is a freely programmable, telegram-based protocol, also known as ASCII
protocol. It controls the data transmission in a point-to-point coupling between the
communication module and a communication partner.
Note Further information on serial communication can be found in the manual

Setup
As an example, this application example uses a SIMATIC S5-115U on the
SIMATIC S5 side. In principle, however, the solutions presented also work for the
SIMATIC S5-135U and SIMATIC S5-155U.
The communication processor CP 544, which supports the 3964(R) protocol and
"Open Driver", exists for these control families.
On the S7-1500 side, the coupling to the CP 544 is realized via the communication
module CM PtP RS232 BA. This results in different communication variants.
The following engineering tools were used for project planning the serial
communication:
• SIMATIC S5-Station: STEP 5 and the COM PP package (call via "Extended
Service Program")
• SIMATIC S7-1500-Station: STEP 7 V15 (TIA Portal).

• You will get to know different variants of serial communication between a
SIMATIC S5 and S7-1500.
• You receive copy templates that you can quickly use and enhance in your own
migration projects.
• You only need basic knowledge of SIMATIC S5. However, special hardware
know-how is not required.
Delimitation
This example contains:
• No further explanation of the SIMATIC S5 and SIMATIC S7-1500 with their
communication options.
• No introduction to programming a SIMATIC S5 and a SIMATIC S7-1500.

2 The cyclic processing of the HTB RECEIVE All in the SIMATIC S5 CPU
establishes the readiness for reception between the CPU and the CP 544. The
data transfer from the CP 544 takes place directly in the data block of the
SIMATIC S5 CPU via the HTB Receive All. The reception compartment (DB150)
is configured in the CP 544 project planning.
3 The SIMATIC S5 transmits the SEND job to the CP 544 via HTB SEND. The data
transfer from the SIMATIC S5 CPU (data block) to the CP 544 takes place via the
handling block SEND ALL.
4 The acceptance of the received data in the S7-1500 CPU takes place via the
cyclic processing of the instruction "Receive_P2P". If the data reception was
successful, this is acknowledged positively and signaled at the block parameter
NDR. Otherwise, the order is acknowledged negatively.
5 A SEND order from the S7-1500 CPU to the SIMATIC S5 CPU takes place via the
instruction Send_P2P. In this scenario, the instruction sends an order to the
SIMATIC S5 CP 544 every second. The data transfer takes place in the
SIMATIC S5 CPU via the standard HTB RECEIVE ALL.

Overview
S7-1500.
The SIMATIC S5 is coupled via the CP 544 with the setting "Open driver" to the
S7-1500 module CM PtP RS232 BA with the setting "Freeport".
In the S7-1500 CPU the data is sent and received via the instructions "Send_P2P"
and "Receive_P2P".
Sequence flow between S7-1500 and SIMATIC S5 via individual instructions
The following graphic shows schematically the connection setup and data flow
between the SIMATIC S5 and SIMATIC S7-1500 via the SEND and RECEIVE

2 The cyclic processing of the HTB RECEIVE ALL in the SIMATIC S5 CPU establishes
the readiness for reception between the CPU and the CP 544. The data transfer from
the CP 544 takes place directly into the data block of the SIMATIC S5 CPU via the
HTB RECEIVE ALL.
3 The SIMATIC S5 transmits the SEND job to the CP 544 via HTB SEND. The data
transfer from the SIMATIC S5 CPU (data block) to the CP 544 takes place via the
handling block SEND ALL.
4 User configuration of the CP 544 via special order 189 and restart of the CP 544
interface.
5 The acceptance of the received data in the S7-1500 CPU takes place via the cyclic
processing of the instruction "Receive_P2P". If the data reception was successful,
this is acknowledged positively and signaled at the block parameter NDR. Otherwise,
the order is acknowledged negatively.
6 A SEND order from the S7-1500 CPU to the SIMATIC S5 takes place via the
instruction Send_P2P. In this scenario, the instruction sends one order per second to
the SIMATIC S5 CP 544. The data transfer takes place in the SIMATIC S5 CPU via
the standard HTB RECEIVE ALL.

"DataReceive" for an identifier "A".
The counter value received by the SIMATIC S5 is
located in the receive data block "DataReceive". It is

incremented by +1 and copied to the data transmission
area "DataSend".
This data is now sent via the FB "ProgSendP2P" to the
SIMATIC S5 time-controlled.
FB 101 ProgSendP2P Management of transmission data management and data

One send trigger is set per second. If there is also a
receive ID from the partner, the ID "A" is entered in the
data to be sent and the send order is triggered.
In the event of an error, the transmission is re-triggered
up to 5 times.
Each transmission initiation is counted up using a
counter variable.

3 Using the application

In the following section we will introduce you to the operation as well as the test
and diagnostic options of the various scenarios.
Requirements
The SIMATIC S5 CPU program contains all example scenarios. The required
SIMATIC S5 program blocks and associated functions are activated via enable bits
after loading the SIMATIC S5 program.
To test the scenarios, note the following points:
• Set the corresponding release bit (see Table 3-1) in the SIMATIC S5 CPU. In
the SIMATIC S5 CPU you can set the release bits via the variable tables
"BB98" or "BB97".
• Load the corresponding project planning (see Table 3-1) into the CP 544.
The more detailed procedure is described in sections 2.2.5 and 2.3.5.
• Load the corresponding PLC station (see Table 3-1) into the SIMATIC S7-
1500.

Test and diagnosis of the communication in the SIMATIC S7-1500

To monitor the current communication and the status of the send and receive
blocks in the SIMATIC S7-1500, call the "PtPOrderState" monitoring table in the
TIA Portal. There you can observe the counter values and the last error status
displays of the Receive_P2P and Send_P2P blocks.
If the Receive_P2P instruction was executed successfully or with an error, the
status of the instruction is stored in the "recvP2PLastStatus" variable. The status
gives you information about the cause if the data was not received successfully.
If the Send_P2P instruction was executed successfully or with an error, the status
of the instruction is stored in the "sendP2PLastStatus" variable. The status gives
you information about the cause if the data was not sent successfully.
