Changed Retentive Behavior For Cpus With Firmware >= V2.1.0; Fms/Cps With Separate Mpi Address In The Central Rack Of A Cpu 315-2 Pn/Dp / Cpu 317 - Siemens Simatic S7-300 Technical Data Manual

A.1.12 Changed retentive behavior for CPUs with firmware >= V2.1.0
Changed retentive behavior for CPUs with firmware >= V2.1.0
For data blocks for these CPUs
• you can set the retentive response in the block properties of the DB.
• Using SFC 82 "CREA_DBL" -> Parameter ATTRIB, NON_RETAIN bit, you can specify if

FMs/CPs with separate MPI address in the central rack of a CPU 315-2 PN/DP / CPU 317

All CPUs, except CPU 315-2 PN/DP, CPU 317
and CPU 318-2 DP
If there are FM/CPs with their own MPI address in
the central rack of an S7-300, then they are in the
exact same CPU subnet as the CPU MPI station.
When exchanging your existing CPU with a CPU 315-2 PN/DP / CPU 317, you therefore
need to:
• replace the CPU in your STEP 7 project with the CPU 315-2 PN/DP / CPU 317.
• Reconfigure the OPs. The control and the destination address must be reassigned (= the
• Reconfigure the project data for FM/CP to be loaded to the CPU.
This is required for the FM/CP in this rack to remain "available" to the OP/PG.

If there are FM/CPs with their own MPI address
in the central rack of an S7-300, then the CPU
forms its own communication bus via the
backplane bus with these FM/CPs, which are
separated from the other subnets.
The MPI address of such an FM/CP is no longer
relevant for the stations on other subnets. The
communication to the FM/CP is made via the MPI
address of the CPU.
