1.1

Product Description
Usage Possibilities
The driver described here is a software product for communication processor CP341. CP341 can be used in automation systems S7-300 and can establish serial communication links to partner systems. This driver enables you to establish a communication link between communication module CP341 and Modbus capable slaves. The transmission protocol used is the Modbus Protocol in ASCII Format. In addition, de-facto standard 32-bit extensions are supported for accessing floating point and double-word registers in compatible slaves. Data transmission is carried out in accordance with the Master-Slave principle. The Master (SIMATIC S7) has the initiative during the transmission. Function codes 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 11, 12, 15, and 16 can be used for communication between the CP and the slaves.

Position in the System Environment

Function of the Driver

Usable Interfaces and Protocols

You can use this driver on a CP341 having a RS232, TTY, or RS422/485 (X27) interface. With this driver, it is possible to use the RS422/485 (X27) interface submodule in both 2-wire operation and 4-wire operation. In 2-wire operation. It is possible to connect up to 32 slaves to one master in half-duplex operation, thus creating a multipoint connection (network).

Hardware and Software Prerequisites

The Driver runs on CP341 with part number 6ES7 341-1AH01-0AE0 as well as 1BH01 and -1CH01. Also the previous modules -1AH00, -1BH00 and -1CH00 can be used with this driver. In order to use the CP with loadable drivers, you require a dongle. The dongle with identification number 6ES7870-1CA00 is supplied with the driver. Every CP interface, for which this loadable driver has been assigned parameters, requires a CPU loading memory amount of about 25 Kbytes. With CP 341 the loadable drivers are downloaded directly to the CP 341. Therefore you do not require a loading memory on the S7-300 CPU. You should note, however, that this means that you cannot change a module without a programming device.

Loading Memory of the CPU (Memory Card)

Software Issue Levels

Loading of drivers is possible with STEP 7 from issue level 4.04. An installed version of the Parameter Assignment Tool CP: Point-to-Point Communication, Parameter Assignment V4.1 or higher is required. We recommend to use STEP 7 V5.1 or higher and Parameter Assignment Tool V5.1 or higher.

Data Structures

Prior to project configuration of your S7 data structures, you should ensure that they are compatible with the user programs of the Modbus Slave systems (clarify which function codes and which Modbus addresses will be used).

1.3

Summary of the Modbus Protocol

The type of data exchange between Modbus systems is controlled by Function Codes (FCs). The following FCs can be used to carry out data exchange bit-by-bit: FC 01 Read Coils, FC 02 Read Discrete Inputs, FC 05 Force Single Coil, FC 15 Force Multiple Coils. The following FCs can be used to carry out data exchange register-by-register: FC 03 Read Holding registers, FC 04 Read Input registers, FC 06 Write Single Register, FC 16 Write Multiple Registers.

Data Areas

As a rule, the individual FCs operates in accordance with the table below: Function Code 01, 05, 15 02 03, 06, 16 04 Data Coil (output) status Input Status Holding Register Input Register Type of Data Bit Bit Register 16 or 32 bit Register 16 or 32 bit Output Input Output Register Input Register Access read/write read only read/write read only

Address Representation

Analogous to the partitioning into read/write and read-only areas, data at user level can be represented as shown in the table below: Function Code 01, 05, 15 02 04 03, 06, 16 Type of Data Example: Address Representation at User Level (Decimal) 0xxxx 1xxxx 3xxxx 4xxxx

Output bit Input bit Input register Holding register

In the transmission messages on the serial transmission line, the addresses used in the Modbus user system are referenced to 0. In the Modbus user system itself, these addresses are counted beginning with 1. Example: If the first holding register in the user system is represented as register 40001, in the transmission message the value 0000 Hex is transmitted as the register address when FC 03, 06, or 16 is used to access register 40001 If the 127th coil is represented as coil 00127 in the user system, it is assigned the coil address 007E Hex in the transmission message. Note: The CP341 driver only deals with the transmitted or received zero-based PDU addresses. Any translation from the user level address must be handled in the application program in the S7 PLC or the associated HMI.

Transmission Rate

The transmission rate is the speed of data transmission in bits per second (bps). The amount of data bits describes how many bits represent a character to be transmitted. With Modbus ASCII 7 data bits are mandatory. The amount of stop bits defines the smallest possible distance between two characters to be transferred. With even or odd parity 1 stop bit is pre-defined. None parity effects two stop bits. The parity bit is for data safety; depending on parameter assignment, it completes the amount of transmitted data bits to either an even or an odd number. If no parity is selected, no parity bit is transmitted. This reduces the safety of data transmission.

Character Delay Time

When receiving a message the quiet time between characters is measured. If the quiet time exceed the the character delay time, the message is ignored and an error is reported. The reply monitoring time is the time the master spends waiting for a reply message from the slave after output of a request message. If the start character is not received within the response timeout, the message is ignored and an error is reported. When a broadcast request is sent, no response is returned from the slaves. Nevertheless a delay is respected by the Master in order to allow any slave to process
the current request before sending a new one. This delay is called turnaround delay. The turnaround delay should be shorter than the response timeout.

Response Timeout

Turnaround Delay

After the CP has sent the last character of a broadcast message it waits the turnaround delay before the send job is completed. If the turnaround delay is set to 0, the CP completes the send job immediately after sending the last character of the request. Reply Monitoring Time The reply monitoring time is the time the master spends waiting for a reply message from the slave after output of a request message. If the slave doesnt send a start character during the reply monitoring time the send job is finished with error.

Normal Operation

In this operating mode, all recognized transmission errors and/or BREAK before and after receive messages from the slave result in an appropriate error message. If BREAK is recognized on the receiving line at the start of the receive message, or if the CP interface block notices transmission errors before the message, no error is reported. The start of the receive message from the slave is recognized by means of the correctly-received start character. Transmission errors and/or BREAK are also ignored when they occur after the end of the receive message.

Interference Suppression

32-Bit Mode

Normally registers are 16-bit values. When choosing 32-bit mode, registers can also imply 32-bit values when supported in the addressed slave.

Full-duplex / four-wireoperation

In this operating mode, data are sent via the transmission line T(A),T(B) and received via the receiving line R(A),R(B). Error handling is carried out in accordance with the function set at the Driver Operating Mode parameter (Normal or Interference Suppression). In this operating mode, the driver switches the 2-wire receiving line R(A),R(B) of the interface from send to receive operation. In this operating mode, all recognized transmission errors and/or BREAK before and after receive messages are ignored. BREAK level during message pauses is also ignored. The beginning of the receive message from the slave is recognized by means of the correctlyreceived colon character. The setting R(A) 0V, R(B) 5V (High) is recommended as the preset for the receiving line.

Presetting R(A) 5V, R(B) 0V (BREAK) The two-wire-line R(A),R(B) is preset by the CP as follows: R(A) --> +5V, R(B) --> 0V (VA - VB +0,3V). This means that BREAK level occurs on the CP in the event of a line break. Presetting R(A) 0V, R(B) 5V (High) The two-wire-line R(A),R(B) is preset by the CP as follows: R(A) --> 0V, R(B) --> +5V (VA - VB -0,3V). This means that HIGH level occurs on the CP in the event of a line break (and / or when it is running idle, i.e. no slave is transmitting). Line status BREAK cannot be recognized.

With this parameter you can choose whether RS 232 C secondary signals are used or not. If no secondary signals are parameterized, the CP neither sets nor checks these signals. The description of the used secondary signal please find in Chapter 4 of this manual.

Time to RTS OFF Data Output Waiting Time

After output of a request the CP waits the defined time to set the RTS line to OFF. The data output waiting time is the time that the CP 341 is to wait for the communication partner to set CTS to ON after setting the RTS line to ON and before starting the transmission.

Loading the Configuration and Parameter Assignment Data

On closing the Hardware Configuration the data is automatically saved into your Step7-project. The configuration- and parameterization data can now be downloaded online from the programming unit to the CPU. Use menu commands PLC Download to transfer the data to the CPU. During CPU startup and each time you switch between STOP mode and RUN mode, the module parameters of the CP are automatically transferred to the CP as soon as it can be reached via the S7-300 backplane bus. The driver code is not saved in the CPU, but directly with the parameter assignment tool in the retentive memory of the CP 341. You should note, however, that this means you cannot change a module without a programming device.

Start-up Characteristics of CP341

The startup of the CP is divided into two phases: > Initialization (mains-on of CP) > Parameter assignment As soon as voltage is applied to the CP, and after completion of a hardware test program, the firmware on the CP is prepared for operation. During parameter assignment, the CP receives the module parameters allocated to the current slot. The CP is now ready to run.

Transmission Protocol

Transmission Protocol
The procedure in use is asynchronous and half-duplex. Data transmission is carried out without handshake. The CP initiates the transmission (= Master), and after outputting a request message it waits for a reply message from the slave for the duration of the parameter reply monitoring time . When devices are setup to communicate on a Modbus serial line using ASCII mode, each 8bit byte in a message is sent as two ASCII characters. The allowable characters transmitted for all fields except the start character and end characters are hexadecimal 09, AF (ASCII coded). Example: The byte 0X5B is encoded as two characters: 0x35 and 0x42 (0x35 ="5", and 0x42 ="B" in ASCII ).

General Information Master-Slave Relationship

ASCII-Mode

4.1

Message Structure
The data exchange Master-Slave and/or Slave-Master begins with the Start Character, followed by Slave Address and Function Code. Then the data are transferred. The structure of the data field depends on the function code used. The LRC check is transmitted at the end of the message, followed by the End Characters. START 1 char colon ADDRESS FUNCTION 2 chars 2 chars DATA 0 up to 2x252 char(s) LRC 2 chars END 2 chars CR, LF

Message Structure

START ADDRESS FUNCTION DATA Message LRC END Start Character

Start Character : Modbus Slave Address Modbus Function Code Data: Byte_Count, Coil_Number, Data Message Checksum End Characters CR, LF

The start character is a colon (0x3A). The devices monitor the bus continuously for the colon character. When this character is received, each device decodes the next character until it detects the End Characters (CR,LF). The slave address can be within the range 1 to 255. The address is used to address a defined slave on the bus.

Slave Address

Transmission Protocol

Broadcast Message

The master uses slave address zero to address all slaves on the bus. Broadcast Messages are only permitted in conjunction with writing Function Codes 05, 06, 15, and 16. A Broadcast Message is not followed by a reply message from the slave. After a broadcast message the CP waits for a time determined by the turnaround delay parameter before the send job is finished.

Function Code

The function code defines the meaning as well as the structure of a message. The following function codes are supported by the driver: Function Code 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 11 12 15 16 Function in Accordance with Modbus Specification Read Coils Read Discrete Inputs Read Holding Registers Read Input Registers Write Single Coil Preset Single Register Read Exception Status Loop Back Diagnostic Test Fetch Communications Event Counter Fetch Communications Event Log Write Multiple Coils Write Multiple Registers

Data Field DATA

The data field DATA is used to transfer the function code-specific data such as: Bytecount, Coil_Start Address, Register_Start Address; Number_of_Coils, Number_of_Registers, ... . See also Chapter Function Codes. The data field contains up to 2x252 ASCII characters.

LRC

The Longitudinal Redundancy Checking (LRC) field is one byte, containing an 8 bit binary value. The LRC value is calculated by the transmitting device, which appends the LRC to the message. The device that receives recalculates an LRC during receipt of the message, and compares the calculated value to the actual value it received in the LRC field. If the two values are not equal, an error results. The LRC is calculated by adding together successive 8bit bytes in the message, discarding any carries, and then twos complementing the result. The LRC is an 8bit field, therefore each new addition of a character that would result in a value higher than 255 decimal simply rolls over the fields value through zero. Because there is no ninth bit, the carry is discarded automatically.

Transmission Protocol

A procedure for generating an LRC is: 1. Add all bytes in the message, excluding the starting colon and ending CRLF. Add them into an 8bit field, so that carries will be discarded. 2. Build the twoscomplement. 3. Convert the LRC to ASCII. Placing the LRC into the Message When the 8bit LRC (2 ASCII characters) is transmitted in the message, the highorder character will be transmitted first, followed by the loworder character. For example, if the LRC value is 61 hex (0110 0001): LRC high 0x36 LRC low 0x31 Message End Telegram Example The end of the message is defined by the characters CR and LF. The Modbus serial line PDU is describes as follows: 05H 08H 00H 00H A5H C3H xxH Slave Address Function Code Diagnostic Code High Diagnostic Code Low Test Value High Test Value Low LRC

In ASCII transmission mode the following data is transferred on the line: 3AH 30H 35H 30H 38H 30H 30H 30H 30H 41H 35H 43H 33J xxH xxH 0DH 0AH Start Character Slave Address Function Code Diagnostic Code High Diagnostic Code Low Test Value High Test Value Low LRC Code High LRC Code Low CR LF

Error Handling

If BREAK is recognized on the receiving line by the CP during output of a message, the triggered P_SND_RK job is completed with error. Reception during transmission is ignored. If any of the errors listed below is recognized by the CP during reception of the reply message, the received data string is rejected, an error is reported and the triggered Send job is completed with error. reply monitoring time elapsed wrong start character received character is no ASCII character overrun of the receive buffer received LRC incorrect transmission error in a character (parity, framing or overrun error) character delay time elapsed BREAK (line break or DSR or CTS not asserted)

Exception Responses
On recognition of an error in the request message from the master (for example, register address illegal), the slave sets the highest value bit in the function code of the reply message. This is followed by transmission of one byte of error code (Exception Code), which describes the reason for the error. A detailed description of the meaning of the above-mentioned parameters can be found in the Modbus Application Protocol Specification.

Exception Responses

Exception Code Message

The error code reply message from the slave has the following structure: for example, slave address 5, function code 5, exception code 2 Reply Message from Slave EXCEPTION_CODE_xx: 05H 85H 02H xxH Slave Address Function Code Exception Code (1 to 7) LRC

On receipt of an error code reply message by the driver, the current job is completed with error. An error number corresponding to the received error code (Exception Code 1-7) is also entered in the STATUS area. No entry is made in a P_RCV_RK destination data block. The following error codes are defined in accordance with the Modbus Specification: Exception Meaning in accordance with Cause Short Description * Code Modbus Specification 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 Illegal Function Illegal Data Address Illegal Data Value Failure in Associated Device Acknowledge Busy, Rejected Message Negative Acknowledgement Illegal function code Slave has illegal data address Slave has illegal data value Slave has internal error Function is carried out Slave is not ready to receive Function cannot be carried out

RS 232C Secondary Signals

The following RS 232C secondary signals exist on the CP when the RS232C interface submodule is used:

Available Signals

DTR

(output)

DSR

(input)

RTS

RI

(input)

When the CP is switched on, the output signals are in the OFF state (inactive). You can parameterize the way in which the DTR/DSR and RTS/CTS control signals are used with the CP 341: Point-to-Point Communication, Parameter Assignment parameterization interface or control them by means of function calls (FBs) in the user program. Using the RS 232C Secondary Signals The RS 232C secondary signals can be used as follows: When the automatic use of all RS 232C secondary signals is parameterized By means of the V24_STAT and V24_SET functions (FBs)

Note When automatic use of the RS 232C secondary signals is parameterized, neither RTS/CTS data flow control nor RTS and DTR control by means of the V24_SET FB are possible. On the other hand, it is always possible to read all RS 232C secondary signals by means of the V24_STAT FB. The sections that follow describe how the control and evaluation of the RS 232C secondary signals is handled.

Transmission Protocol

Automatic Use of the Secondary Signals

The automatic use of the RS 232C secondary signals on the CP is implemented as follows: As soon as the CP is switched by means of parameterization to an operating mode with automatic use of the RS 232C secondary signals, it switches the RTS line to OFF and the DTR line to ON (CP ready for use). Message frames cannot be sent and received until the DTR line is set to ON. As long as DTR remains set to OFF, no data is received via the RS 232C interface. If a send request is made, it is aborted with an error message. When a send request is made, RTS is set to ON and the parameterized data output waiting time starts. When the data output time elapses and CTS = ON, the data is sent via the RS 232C interface. If the CTS line is not set to ON within the data output time so that data can be sent, or if CTS changes to OFF during transmission, the send request is aborted and an error message generated. After the data is sent, the RTS line is set to OFF after the parameterized time to RTS OFF has elapsed. The CP does not wait for CTS to change to OFF. Data can be received via the RS 232C interface as soon as the DSR line is set to ON. If the receive buffer of the CP threatens to overflow, the CP does not respond. A send request or data receipt is aborted with an error message if DSR changes from ON to OFF. The message "DSR = OFF (automatic use of V24 signals)" is entered in the diagnostics buffer of the CP.

Note When automatic use of the RS 232C secondary signals is parameterized, neither RTS/CTS data flow control nor RTS and DTR control by means of the V24_SET FB are not possible. Note The "time to RTS OFF" must be set in the parameterization interface so that the communication partner can receive the last characters of the message frame in their entirety before RTS, and thus the send request, is taken away. The "data out put waiting time" must be set so that the communication partner can be ready to receive before the time elapses.

Function Codes

Function Codes
All telegram examples for the different function codes refer to Modbus serial line PDU format. The register oriented function codes 3, 6, 16 can also handle 32-bit registers. If Protocol Parameter for Modbus-Master With 32-bit Registers is set the driver is prepared to handle registers with the length of 4 byte. The decision whether the send job refers to 16-bit or 32-bit registers is done via the second byte of the send data block. The second byte of the send data block determines the Modbus Function Code sent in the message. If bit 26 (the bit to the right of the most significant bit) is set, the send job refers to 32-bit registers. Bit 26 doesnt affect the function code actually sent, it is just information for the master CP for what to expect in the response from the slave when reading or what to send when writing. The register(s) accessed in the slave when bit 26 is set must be within a 32-bit register address range defined in the slave such that 4 bytes per register is returned in the read response or 4 bytes per register are expected in a write request. If bit 26 is set and a normal 2 bytes per register range is read in the slave, 2 bytes per register is returned by the slave. As the master expects more data, the activated send job is finished with error. Likewise, bit 26 is not set and a 4 bytes per register range is read in the slave, 4 bytes per register is returned by the slave. The master receives more data than expected and the activated send job is finished with error. If bit 26 is set and a normal 2 bytes per register range is written to the slave, 4 bytes per register are sent by the master and the slave should returned an exception response to the master. Likewise, if bit 26 is not set and a 4 bytes per register range is written to the slave, 2 bytes per register are sent by the master and the slave should returned an exception response to the master.

CPU CP Interface

CPU CP Interface
Data transfer between CP and CPU is carried out by means of FBs P_SND_RK (FB8) and P_RCV_RK (FB7). FB P_SND_RK is activated by an edge at input REQ, when data output is required. FB P_RCV_RK is made ready to receive by EN_R=1. A P_RCV_RK is required for all reading function codes.

Used SFBs

Parallel Processing of Requests

At a given time, only one FB P_SND_RK and one FB P_RCV_RK can be called for each CP 341 in the user program.

6.1.1 Data Transfer from CPU to CP with P_SND_RK

Activation

Execution of a Modbus function code is activated by means of an SFB P_SND_RK with an edge at input REQ. Enter S for SEND at the SF parameter. The logical module address is entered at LADDR. You must enter X for expanded data block as the area type of the partner CPU. No values must be specified for the other parameters of the partner CPU (R_...). This ensures transfer to the driver of the function codes required for the execution.

Data Source

When P_SND_RK is activated, the source data area specified with the parameters DB_NO and DBB_NO is transferred to the CP with the length LEN.

Length Indication

The length LEN depends on the function code used. Function Code 01 02 03 04 05 06 16-Bit Register 06 32-Bit Register 07 08 11 12 15 16 16-Bit Register 16 32-Bit Register Length LEN in Byte 6 6 6 6 6 6 8 2 6 2 2 >=8 >=8 >=10

If the transferred data quantities differ from those listed above for the individual function codes, the job is not carried out and P_SND_RK rejects it with an edge at output ERROR. The data length LEN may exceed the required amount of data for the activated function. The driver checks the data length according to function code and amount of bits/registers. If less data than necessary are transferred to the CP, the send job is finished with error. So it is not necessary to calculate LEN for each send job, when the maximum length is used. But it takes some more time for data transfer CPU CP because more data than needed are transferred. SEND Source DB The parameters required for the execution of a function code must be entered as user data in the source data area. A detailed description of each P_SND_RK source DB can be found in the chapter Function Codes.

CPU CP Interface

Generation of Messages

The request messages to the slave are generated in accordance with the transferred P_SND_RK source data and sent by the CP. First of all the driver checks if the length LEN specified at P_SND_RK corresponds to the length for this function code. If it does not, the job is not carried out and it is completed with an edge at output ERROR of the P_SND_RK. When using function codes other than those listed, the activated job is not carried out either and is completed with ERROR at P_SND_RK. The elements byte counter and LRC in the request message are generated by the CP; an entry in the P_SND_RK source DB is not required.

Job Completion for Writing Functions

For writing function codes, the activated P_SND_RK is completed after a reply message is received without error. This is communicated to the SIMATIC user program by means of an edge at output DONE of the P_SND_RK. If errors were recognized during the message exchange, or if the slave sends an error code reply message, this is reported by an edge at output ERROR.

Job Completion for Reading Functions

For reading functions, the activated P_SND_RK is completed after the reply message is received without error and complete transfer of the received data to the CPU. This is communicated to the SIMATIC user program by means of an edge at output DONE of the P_SND_RK. This means that the received data are already available on the CPU. If errors were recognized during the message exchange, or if the slave sends an error code reply message, this is reported by an edge at output ERROR. In this case no receive data are transferred to the CPU.

STATUS Entry on Job Completion

For those instances when a job is completed with ERROR at P_SND_RK, an additional error code is entered in the STATUS parameter. The exact cause for the error can be determined with this error code.

6.1.2 Data Transfer from CPU to CP with P_RCV_RK

Data Destination All reading function codes require a P_RCV_RK. When FB P_RCV_RK is ready to receive, it accepts the received data from the CP and enters them into the data destination specified in the parameters DB_N0 and DBB_N0. How Data Reception is Displayed The user is informed of data reception in the CPU by means of an edge at output NDR. At this point the length of the received data block is displayed in the parameter LEN. As mentioned above, completion of the entire Modbus job can be recognized at output DONE of FB P_SND_RK. How to Handle an Error P_RCV_RK Destination DB In the event of receive or transfer errors, there is no data transfer to the CPU. In this instance P_SND_RK is completed with an edge at the output ERROR. The user data received with a reading function code are entered into the P_RCV_RK destination area. A detailed description of each P_RCV_RK destination DB can be found in the chapter Function Codes. The length of data entered is displayed on the parameter LEN of P_RCV_RK.

Diagnostics Functions

Display Elements (LED)

The display elements provide information on the operating status and/or a possible error status of the CP. The display elements give a first overview of internal or external errors, as well as interface-specific errors. Each function block has a STATUS output for error diagnostics purposes. Reading this STATUS output enables the user to obtain information on errors which occurred during communication. The STATUS parameter can be evaluated in the user program. All errors / events described in Section 7.3 are also entered in the diagnostic buffer of the CP. The manual for the CP describes how you can read the diagnostic buffer.

Application Example
The following simple programming example illustrates the use of FBs P_SND_RK and P_RCV_RK. When the Modbus master is installed, the application example is stored in the STEP 7 directory EXAMPLES under the name MB_ASCII. The S7 program is for information purposes only and is not to be understood as a solution for a customer-specific installation configuration. In order to illustrate the basic structure, we intentionally kept it simple and avoided symbolic display.

Application Example

8.1.1 Program Description

General Information The programming example consists of: Startup block OB100, FC10 Cyclic part OB1 calling Function block FC21 for data transfer CPU to CP (Send) FC23 to receive data CP to CPU

The parameters for the programmed system function blocks P_SND_RK, P_RCV_RK are stored in the work DBs DB40 and DB41. The send data (SEND source area) are contained in DB42. Data received from the link partner are entered into DB43 (RCV destination area). P_SND_RK Job A P_SND_RK job can be activated in the cyclic part of the program by setting memory bit M 120.7 (for example, by CONTROL VARIABLE). The data with length LEN contained in the P_SND_RK source area DB42 are transferred to the CP. Memory bit M 120.7 is reset immediately. After completion of the P_SND_RK job without error, a success counter is incremented; after completion with error, an error counter is incremented. P_RCV_RK Job An SFB P_RCV_RK is programmed in FC23, where the Receive Enable is always 1, in order to receive data from the link partner. The receive data are entered into the P_RCV_RK destination area, the amount of entered data is displayed in parameter LEN. On taking on data without error, the success counter is incremented; on completion with error, the error counter is incremented. For the P_SND_RK and P_RCV_RK jobs, the output parameter STATUS is stored when a value other than 0 is reported.

Address

The address identifies a physical storage location and enables the user to directly access the operand store there.

Block

Blocks are elements of the user program which are defined by their function, structure, or purpose. With STEP 7 there are _ Code blocks (FB, FC, OB, SFB, SFC) _ Data blocks (DB, SDB) _ User-defined data types (UDT) A block call occurs when program processing branches to the called block Block parameters are wildcards within multiple-use blocks, which are replaced with current values when the relevant block is called.

Communications processors are modules for point-to-point connections and bus connections. The configuration is the setup of individual modules of the PLC in the configuration table. Central processing unit of the S7 programmable controller with control and arithmetic unit, memory, operating system, and interfaces to I/O modules. Cyclic Redundancy-Check = Checksum which guaranteed accuracy of error recognition. The cycle time is the time the CPU needs to scan the user program once. In cyclic program processing, the user program is executed in a constantly-repeating program loop, called a cycle.

Data Block (DB)

These are blocks containing data and parameters with which the user program works. Unlike all other blocks, data blocks do not contain instructions. They are subdivided into global data blocks and instance data blocks. The data held in the data blocks can be accessed absolutely or symbolically. Complex data can be stored in structured form. Data types allow users to define how the value of a variable or constant is to be used in the user program. They are subdivided into elementary and structured data types. The default setting is a practical basic setting, which is always used if no other value is specified. Every CPU has a diagnostic buffer, in which detailed information on diagnostic events is stored in the order in which they occur. Diagnostic events are, for example, errors on a module or system errors in the CPU, which may be caused by a program error or by operating? mode transitions. The diagnostics functions cover the entire system diagnosis and include detection, analysis and reporting of errors within the PLC. Downloading means loading load objects (e.g. code blocks) from the programming device into the load memory of the CPU.

I
Instance Data Block An instance data block is a block assigned to a function block and contains data for this particular function block. Interface Submodule The CP 441-2 interface submodule is responsible for the physical conversion of signals. By changing the interface submodule, you can make the communications processor compatible with the communications partner. An interrupt occurs when program processing in the processor of a PLC is interrupted by an external alarm.

Online/Offline

Online means that a data circuit exists between PLC and programming device. Offline means that no such data circuit exists. STEP 7 allows you to display contextual help texts on the screen while you are working with the programming software. An operand is part of a STEP 7 instruction and states with what the processor is to do something. It can be both absolutely and symbolically addressed. The SIMATIC S7 programmable controllers have three different operating modes: STOP, RESTART and RUN. The functionality of the CPUs varies in the individual operating modes. The operating system of the CPU organizes all functions and operations of the CPU which are not connected to a specific control task.

Parameter

Parameters are values that can be assigned. A distinction is made between block parameters and module parameters. Parameter assignment means setting the behavior of a module. The CP Point-to-Point Communication, Parameter Assignment Tool is used to assign parameters to the interface submodule of the communications processor and to set the driver-specific parameters. The standard range is expanded for each loadable driver.

Parameter Assignment Parameter Assignment Tool CP: Point-to-Point Communication, Parameter Assignment Point-to-Point Connection Procedure

In a point-to-point connection the communications processor forms the interface between a PLC and a communications partner. The execution of a data interchange operation according to a specific protocol is called a procedure. The process image is a special memory area in the PLC. At the beginning of the cyclic program, the signal states of the input modules are transferred to the process image input table. At the end of the cyclic program, the process image output table is transferred to the output modules as signal state. Programmable controllers (PLCs) are electronic control devices consisting of at least one central processing unit, various input/output modules, and operator control and monitoring devices. Project configuration of data link is the term given to the allocation of a Connection ID in the system function block. The Connection ID enables the system function blocks to communicate between two communication terminal points. The communications partners involved in a data interchange must abide by fixed rules for handling and implementing the data traffic. These rules are called protocols.

Software

Software is the term given to all programs used on a computer system. These include the operating system and the user programs. The standard mode of Modbus ASCII slave driver means, that the parameter with 32-Bit registers is not set. In this mode all registers imply 16-bit values. This is the programming software for SIMATIC S7 programmable controllers. System blocks differ from the other blocks in that they are already integrated into the S7-300/400 system and are available for already defined system functions. They are subdivided into system data blocks, system functions, and system function blocks. System functions are modules without memory which are already integrated into the operating system of the CPU and can be called up by the user as required. System function blocks are modules with memory which are already integrated into the operating system of the CPU and can be called up by the user as required.
