Has any one had success with connecting 2 S7-1200 plc's via CP1242-7 modems using gprs direct mode of communication without telecontrol or teleservice functions? Both cpu's firmware V2.1 and CP1242-7 HSP loaded. Sim cards with fixed IP addresses loaded in modems.

Have a look at the attachment. This is how it should work in general.

Make sure to:
  • adjust the device configuration PIN,APN,...
  • adjust RemoteAddress in both DB5 according to your fixed addresses
  • (one station hast to be active/passive -> ActiveEstablished TRUE/FALSE)
  • Tselectors do not matter, they just have to match each other
  • REQ CON on both PLCs, check Status for errors or success
  • Send/Recv a Word

Be aware there are providers that do not allow direct connections within the cellular network at all. (the most i know don't)

This is the first thing to check in case the connection does not come up.
Assuming the configuration is correct of course.
