As a general rule for laying out the devices of your system, always separate the devices that generate high voltage and high electrical noise from the low-voltage, logic-type devices such as the S7-200. When configuring the layout of the S7-200 inside your panel, consider the heat-generating devices and locate the electronic-type devices in the cooler areas of your cabinet. Operating any electronic device in a high-temperature environment will reduce the time to failure. Consider also the routing of the wiring for the devices in the panel. Avoid placing low voltage signal wires and communications cables in the same tray with AC power wiring and high-energy, rapidly-switched DC wiring.
Provide Adequate Clearance for Cooling and Wiring

S7-200 devices are designed for natural convection cooling. For proper cooling, you must provide a clearance of at least 25 mm above and below the devices. Also, allow at least 75 mm of depth. Caution For vertical mounting, the maximum allowable ambient temperature is reduced by 10 degrees C. Mount the S7-200 CPU below any expansion modules. When planning your layout for the S7-200 system, allow enough clearance for the wiring and communications cable connections. For additional flexibility in configuring the layout of the S7-200 system, use the I/O expansion cable.

Power Budget
All S7-200 CPUs have an internal power supply that provides power for the CPU, the expansion modules, and other 24 VDC user power requirements. The S7-200 CPU provides the 5 VDC logic power needed for any expansion in your system. Pay careful attention to your system configuration to ensure that your CPU can supply the 5V power required by your selected expansion modules. If your configuration requires more power than the CPU can supply, you must remove a module or select a CPU with more power capability. Refer to Appendix A for information about the 5 VDC logic budget supplied by your S7-200 CPU and the 5 VDC power requirements of the expansion modules. Use Appendix B as a guide for determining how much power (or current) the CPU can provide for your configuration. All S7-200 CPUs also provide a 24 VDC sensor supply that can supply 24 VDC for input points, for relay coil power on the expansion modules, or for other requirements. If your power requirements exceed the budget of the sensor supply, then you must add an external 24 VDC power supply to your system. Refer to Appendix A for the 24 VDC sensor supply power budget for your particular S7-200 CPU. If you require an external 24 VDC power supply, ensure that the power supply is not connected in parallel with the sensor supply of the S7-200 CPU. For improved electrical noise protection, it is recommended that the commons (M) of the different power supplies be connected. Warning Connecting an external 24 VDC power supply in parallel with the S7-200 24 VDC sensor supply can result in a conflict between the two supplies as each seeks to establish its own preferred output voltage level. The result of this conflict can be shortened lifetime or immediate failure of one or both power supplies, with consequent unpredictable operation of the PLC system. Unpredictable operation could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. The S7-200 DC sensor supply and any external power supply should provide power to different points.
Installing and Removing the S7-200 Modules

The S7-200 can be easily installed on a standard DIN rail or on a panel.
Prerequisites
Before you install or remove any electrical device, ensure that the power to that equipment has been turned off. Also, ensure that the power to any related equipment has been turned off. Warning Attempts to install or remove S7-200 or related equipment with the power applied could cause electric shock or faulty operation of equipment. Failure to disable all power to the S7-200 and related equipment during installation or removal procedures could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. Always follow appropriate safety precautions and ensure that power to the S7-200 is disabled before attempting to install or remove S7-200 CPUs or related equipment. Always ensure that whenever you replace or install an S7-200 device you use the correct module or equivalent device. Warning If you install an incorrect module, the program in the S7-200 could function unpredictably. Failure to replace an S7-200 device with the same model, orientation, or order could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. Replace an S7-200 device with the same model, and be sure to orient and position it correctly.

Panel Mounting
1. 2. 3.
Installing the S7-200 is easy! Just follow these steps. Locate, drill, and tap the mounting holes (M4 or American Standard number 8), using the dimensions in Table 3-1. Secure the module(s) to the panel, using the appropriate screws. If you are using an expansion module, connect the expansion module ribbon cable into the expansion port connector under the access door. Secure the rail to the mounting panel every 75 mm. Snap open the DIN clip (located on the bottom of the module) and hook the back of the module onto the DIN rail. If you are using an expansion module, connect the expansion module ribbon cable into the expansion port connector under the access door. Rotate the module down to the DIN rail and snap the clip closed. Carefully check that the clip has fastened the module securely onto the rail. To avoid damage to the module, press on the tab of the mounting hole instead of pressing directly on the front of the module.

Chapter 3
Tip Using DIN rail stops could be helpful if your S7-200 is in an environment with high vibration potential or if the S7-200 has been installed vertically. If your system is in a high-vibration environment, then panel-mounting the S7-200 will provide a greater level of vibration protection.
Removing a CPU or Expansion Module

To remove an S7-200 CPU or expansion module, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. Remove power from the S7-200. Disconnect all the wiring and cabling that is attached to the module. Most S7-200 CPU and expansion modules have removable connectors to make this job easier. If you have expansion modules connected to the unit that you are removing, open the access cover door and disconnect the expansion module ribbon cable from the adjacent modules. Unscrew the mounting screws or snap open the DIN clip. Remove the module.
4. 5.
Removing and Reinstalling the Terminal Block Connector

Most S7-200 modules have removable connectors to make installing and replacing the module easy. Refer to Appendix A to determine whether your S7-200 module has removable connectors. You can order an optional fan-out connector for modules that do not have removable connectors. See Appendix E for order numbers.
To Remove the Connector

1. 2. 3. Open the connector door to gain access to the connector. Insert a small screwdriver in the notch in the middle of the connector. Remove the terminal connector by prying the screwdriver away from the S7-200 housing. See Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2

Guidelines for Grounding and Wiring

Proper grounding and wiring of all electrical equipment is important to help ensure the optimum operation of your system and to provide additional electrical noise protection for your application and the S7-200.
Prerequisites
Before you ground or install wiring to any electrical device, ensure that the power to that equipment has been turned off. Also, ensure that the power to any related equipment has been turned off. Ensure that you follow all applicable electrical codes when wiring the S7-200 and related equipment. Install and operate all equipment according to all applicable national and local standards. Contact your local authorities to determine which codes and standards apply to your specific case. Warning Attempts to install or wire the S7-200 or related equipment with power applied could cause electric shock or faulty operation of equipment. Failure to disable all power to the S7-200 and related equipment during installation or removal procedures could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. Always follow appropriate safety precautions and ensure that power to the S7-200 is disabled before attempting to install or remove the S7-200 or related equipment. Always take safety into consideration as you design the grounding and wiring of your S7-200 system. Electronic control devices, such as the S7-200, can fail and can cause unexpected operation of the equipment that is being controlled or monitored. For this reason, you should implement safeguards that are independent of the S7-200 to protect against possible personal injury or equipment damage. Warning Control devices can fail in an unsafe condition, resulting in unexpected operation of controlled equipment. Such unexpected operations could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. Use an emergency stop function, electromechanical overrides, or other redundant safeguards that are independent of the S7-200.
Guidelines for Isolation

S7-200 AC power supply boundaries and I/O boundaries to AC circuits have been designed and approved to provide safe separation between AC line voltages and low voltage circuits. These boundaries include double or reinforced insulation, or basic plus supplementary insulation, according to various standards. Components which cross these boundaries such as optical couplers, capacitors, transformers, and relays have been approved as providing safe separation. Isolation boundaries which meet these requirements have been identified in S7-200 product data sheets as having 1500VAC or greater isolation. This designation is based on a routine factory test of ( 2Ue + 1000VAC ) or equivalent according to approved methods. S7-200 safe separation boundaries have been type tested to 4242 VDC. The sensor supply output, communications circuits, and internal logic circuits of an S7-200 with included AC power supply are sourced as SELV (safety extra--low voltage) according to EN 61131--2. These circuits become PELV (protective extra--low voltage) if the sensor supply M, or any other non-isolated M connection to the S7-200 is connected to ground. Other S7-200 M connections which may ground reference the low voltage are designated as not isolated to logic on specific product data sheets. Examples are RS485 communications port M, analog I/O M, and relay coil power M. To maintain the SELV / PELV character of the S7-200 low voltage circuits, external connections to communications ports, analog circuits, and all 24V nominal power supply and I/O circuits must be powered from approved sources that meet the requirements of SELV, PELV, Class 2, Limited Voltage, or Limited Power according to various standards.
20
Chapter 3
Warning Use of non-isolated or single insulation supplies to supply low voltage circuits from an AC line can result in hazardous voltages appearing on circuits that are expected to be touch safe, such as communications circuits and low voltage sensor wiring. Such unexpected high voltages could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. Only use high voltage to low voltage power converters that are approved as sources of touch safe, limited voltage circuits.
Guidelines for Grounding the S7-200

The best way to ground your application is to ensure that all the common and ground connections of your S7-200 and related equipment are grounded to a single point. This single point should be connected directly to the earth ground for your system. For improved electrical noise protection, it is recommended that all DC common returns be connected to the same single-point earth ground. Connect the 24 VDC sensor supply common (M) to earth ground. All ground wires should be as short as possible and should use a large wire size, such as 2 mm2 (14 AWG). When locating grounds, remember to consider safety grounding requirements and the proper operation of protective interrupting devices.
Guidelines for Wiring the S7-200

When designing the wiring for your S7-200, provide a single disconnect switch that simultaneously removes power from the S7-200 CPU power supply, from all input circuits, and from all output circuits. Provide overcurrent protection, such as a fuse or circuit breaker, to limit fault currents on supply wiring. You might want to provide additional protection by placing a fuse or other current limit in each output circuit. Install appropriate surge suppression devices for any wiring that could be subject to lightning surges. Avoid placing low-voltage signal wires and communications cables in the same wire tray with AC wires and high-energy, rapidly switched DC wires. Always route wires in pairs, with the neutral or common wire paired with the hot or signal-carrying wire. Use the shortest wire possible and ensure that the wire is sized properly to carry the required current. The connector accepts wire sizes from 2 mm2 to 0.3 mm2 (14 AWG to 22 AWG). Use shielded wires for optimum protection against electrical noise. Typically, grounding the shield at the S7-200 gives the best results. When wiring input circuits that are powered by an external power supply, include an overcurrent protection device in that circuit. External protection is not necessary for circuits that are powered by the 24 VDC sensor supply from the S7-200 because the sensor supply is already current-limited. Most S7-200 modules have removable connectors for user wiring. (Refer to Appendix A to determine if your module has removable connectors.) To prevent loose connections, ensure that the connector is seated securely and that the wire is installed securely into the connector. To avoid damaging the connector, be careful that you do not over-tighten the screws. The maximum torque for the connector screw is 0.56 N-m (5 inch-pounds). To help prevent unwanted current flows in your installation, the S7-200 provides isolation boundaries at certain points. When you plan the wiring for your system, you should consider these isolation boundaries. Refer to Appendix A for the amount of isolation provided and the location of the isolation boundaries. Isolation boundaries rated less than 1500 VAC must not be depended on as safety boundaries. Tip For a communications network, the maximum length of the communications cable is 50 m without using a repeater. The communications port on the S7-200 is non-isolated. Refer to Chapter 7 for more information. 21
Guidelines for Inductive Loads

You should equip inductive loads with suppression circuits to limit voltage rise when the control output turns off. Suppression circuits protect your outputs from premature failure due to high inductive switching currents. In addition, suppression circuits limit the electrical noise generated when switching inductive loads. Tip The effectiveness of a given suppression circuit depends on the application, and you must verify it for your particular use. Always ensure that all components used in your suppression circuit are rated for use in the application.
DC Outputs and Relays That Control DC Loads

The DC outputs have internal protection that is adequate for most applications. Since the relays can be used for either a DC or an AC load, internal protection is not provided. Figure 3-3 shows a sample suppression circuit for a DC load. In most applications, the addition of a diode (A) across the inductive load is suitable, but if your application requires faster turn-off times, then the addition of a Zener diode (B) is recommended. Be sure to size your Zener diode properly for the amount of current in your output circuit.

A - I1N4001 diode or equivalent Output Point B - 8.2 V Zener for DC Outputs 36 V Zener for Relay Outputs

AC Outputs and Relays That Control AC Loads

The AC outputs have internal protection that is adequate for most applications. Since the relays can be used for either a DC or an AC load, internal protection is not provided. Figure 3-4 shows a sample suppression circuit for an AC load. When you use a relay or AC output to switch 115 V/230 VAC loads, place resistor/capacitor networks across the AC load as shown in this figure. You can also use a metal oxide varistor (MOV) to limit peak voltage. Ensure that the working voltage of the MOV is at least 20% greater than the nominal line voltage.

Figure 3-4
Warning When relay expansion modules are used to switch AC inductive loads, the external resistor/capacitor noise suppression circuit must be placed across the AC load to prevent unexpected machine or process operation. See Figure 3-4.
Guidelines for Lamp Loads

Lamp loads are damaging to relay contacts because of the high turn-on surge current. This surge current will nominally be 10 to 15 times the steady state current for a Tungsten lamp. A replaceable interposing relay or surge limiter is recommended for lamp loads that will be switched a large number of times during the lifetime of the application.

Understanding How the S7-200 Executes Your Control Logic

The S7-200 continuously cycles through the control logic in your program, reading and writing data.
The S7-200 Relates Your Program to the Physical Inputs and Outputs
The basic operation of the S7-200 is very simple:
Start_PB E_Stop M_Starter
The S7-200 reads the status of the inputs. The program that is stored in the S7-200 uses these inputs to evaluate the control logic. As the program runs, the S7-200 updates the data. The S7-200 writes the data to the outputs.
Input M_Starter Motor
Output Motor Starter
Figure 4-1 shows a simple diagram of how an electrical relay diagram relates to the S7-200. In this example, the state of the switch for starting the motor is combined with the states of other inputs. The calculations of these states then determine the state for the output that goes to the actuator which starts the motor.

Controlling Inputs and Outputs
The S7-200 Executes Its Tasks in a Scan Cycle

The S7-200 executes a series of tasks repetitively. This cyclical execution of tasks is called the scan cycle. As shown in Figure 4-2, the S7-200 performs most or all of the following tasks during a scan cycle:
-
Reading the inputs: The S7-200 copies the state of the physical inputs to the process-image input register. Executing the control logic in the program: The S7-200 executes the instructions of the program and stores the values in the various memory areas. Processing any communications requests: The S7-200 performs any tasks required for communications. Executing the CPU self-test diagnostics: The S7-200 ensures that the firmware, the program memory, and any expansion modules are working properly. Writing t th W iti to the outputs: Th values stored i t t The l t d in the process-image output register are written to the physical outputs.

PLC Concepts
Chapter 4
Reading the Inputs

Digital inputs: Each scan cycle begins by reading the current value of the digital inputs and then writing these values to the process-image input register. Analog inputs: The S7-200 does not update analog inputs from expansion modules as part of the normal scan cycle unless filtering of analog inputs is enabled. An analog filter is provided to allow you to have a more stable signal. You can enable the analog filter for each analog input point. When analog input filtering is enabled for an analog input, the S7-200 updates that analog input once per scan cycle, performs the filtering function, and stores the filtered value internally. The filtered value is then supplied each time your program accesses the analog input. When analog filtering is not enabled, the S7-200 reads the value of the analog input from expansion modules each time your program accesses the analog input. Analog inputs AIW0 and AIW2 included on the CPU 224XP are updated every scan with the most recent result from the analog-to-digital converter. This converter is an averaging type (sigma-delta) and those values will usually not need software filtering. Tip Analog input filtering is provided to allow you to have a more stable analog value. Use the analog input filter for applications where the input signal varies slowly with time. If the signal is a high-speed signal, then you should not enable the analog filter. Do not use the analog filter with modules that pass digital information or alarm indications in the analog words. Always disable analog filtering for RTD, Thermocouple, and AS-Interface Master modules.
Executing the Program

During the execution phase of the scan cycle, the S7-200 executes your program, starting with the first instruction and proceeding to the end instruction. The immediate I/O instructions give you immediate access to inputs and outputs during the execution of either the program or an interrupt routine. If you use subroutines in your program, the subroutines are stored as part of the program. The subroutines are executed when they are called by the main program, by another subroutine, or by an interrupt routine. Subroutine nesting depth is 8 from the main and 1 from an interrupt routine. If you use interrupts in your program, the interrupt routines that are associated with the interrupt events are stored as part of the program. The interrupt routines are not executed as part of the normal scan cycle, but are executed when the interrupt event occurs (which could be at any point in the scan cycle). Local memory is reserved for each of eleven entities: one main, eight subroutine nesting levels when initiated from the main, one interrupt, and one subroutine nesting level when initiated from an interrupt routine. Local memory has a local scope in that it is available only within its associated program entity, and cannot be accessed by the other program entities. For more information about Local memory, refer to Local Memory Area: L in this chapter. Figure 4-3 depicts the flow of a typical scan including the Local memory usage and two interrupt events, one during the program--execution phase and another during the communications phase of the scan cycle. Subroutines are called by the next higher level, and are executed when called. Interrupt routines are not called; they are a result of an occurrence of the associated interrupt event.

Processing Any Communications Requests

During the message-processing phase of the scan cycle, the S7-200 processes any messages that were received from the communications port or intelligent I/O modules.
Executing the CPU Self-test Diagnostics

During this phase of the scan cycle, the S7-200 checks for proper operation of the CPU and for the status of any expansion modules.
Writing to the Digital Outputs

At the end of every scan cycle, the S7-200 writes the values stored in the process-image output register to the digital outputs. (Analog outputs are updated immediately, independently from the scan cycle.)
Accessing the Data of the S7-200

The S7-200 stores information in different memory locations that have unique addresses. You can explicitly identify the memory address that you want to access. This allows your program to have direct access to the information. Table 4-1 shows the range of integer values that can be represented by the different sizes of data.
Table 4-1 Decimal and Hexadecimal Ranges for the Different Sizes of Data Byte (B) 0 to 255 0 to FF Signed Integer Real IEEE 32-bit Floating Point -128 to +127 80 to 7F Not applicable Word (W) 0 to 65,535 0 to FFFF -32,768 to +32,767 8000 to 7FFF Not applicable Double Word (D) 0 to 4,294,967,295 0 to FFFF FFFF -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647 8000 0000 to 7FFF FFFF +1.175495E-38 to +3.402823E+38 (positive) -1.175495E-38 to -3.402823E+38 (negative)
Representation Unsigned Integer
To access a bit in a memory area, you specify the address, which includes the memory area identifier, the byte address, and the bit number. Figure 4-4 shows an example of accessing a bit (which is also called byte.bit addressing). In this example, the memory area and byte address (I = input, and 3 = byte 3) are followed by a period (.) to separate the bit address (bit 4).
I 3 . 4 Bit of byte, or bit number: bit 4 of 8 (0 to 7) Period separates the byte address from the bit number Byte address: byte 3 (the fourth byte) Memory area identifier Figure 4-4 Byte.Bit Addressing

You can access data in most memory areas (V, I, Q, M, S, L, and SM) as bytes, words, or double words by using the byte-address format. To access a byte, word, or double word of data in the memory, you must specify the address in a way similar to specifying the address for a bit. This includes an area identifier, data size designation, and the starting byte address of the byte, word, or double-word value, as shown in Figure 4-5.
27
Data in other memory areas (such as T, C, HC, and the accumulators) are accessed by using an address format that includes an area identifier and a device number.

Accessing Data in the Memory Areas

Process-Image Input Register: I
The S7-200 samples the physical input points at the beginning of each scan cycle and writes these values to the process-image input register. You can access the process-image input register in bits, bytes, words, or double words: Bit: Byte, Word, or Double Word: I[byte address].[bit address] I[size][starting byte address] I0.1 IB4
Process-Image Output Register: Q

At the end of the scan cycle, the S7-200 copies the values stored in the process-image output register to the physical output points. You can access the process-image output register in bits, bytes, words, or double words: Bit: Byte, Word, or Double Word: Q[byte address].[bit address] Q[size][starting byte address] Q1.1 QB5
Variable Memory Area: V

You can use V memory to store intermediate results of operations being performed by the control logic in your program. You can also use V memory to store other data pertaining to your process or task. You can access the V memory area in bits, bytes, words, or double words: Bit: Byte, Word, or Double Word: V[byte address].[bit address] V[size][starting byte address] V10.2 VW100
Bit Memory Area: M

You can use the bit memory area (M memory) as control relays to store the intermediate status of an operation or other control information.

Timer Memory Area: T

The S7-200 provides timers that count increments of time in resolutions (time-base increments) of 1 ms, 10 ms, or 100 ms. Two variables are associated with a timer:

You access both of these variables by using the timer address (T + timer number). Access to either the timer bit or the current value is dependent on the instruction used: instructions with bit operands access the timer bit, while instructions with word operands access the current value.

Counter Memory Area: C

The S7-200 provides three types of counters that count each low-to-high transition event on the counter input(s): one type counts up only, one type counts down only, and one type counts both up and down. Two variables are associated with a counter:

Access to either the counter bit or the current value is dependent on the instruction used: instructions with bit operands access the counter bit, while instructions with word operands access the current value.

High-Speed Counters: HC
The high-speed counters count high-speed events independent of the CPU scan. High-speed counters have a signed, 32-bit integer counting value (or current value). To access the count value for the high-speed counter, you specify the address of the high-speed counter, using the memory type (HC) and the counter number (such as HC0). The current value of the high-speed counter is a read-only value and can be addressed only as a double word (32 bits). Format: HC[high-speed counter number] HC1
Accumulators: AC
The accumulators are read/write devices that can be used like memory. For example, you can use accumulators to pass parameters to and from subroutines and to store intermediate values used in a calculation. The S7-200 provides four 32-bit accumulators (AC0, AC1, AC2, and AC3). You can access the data in the accumulators as bytes, words, or double words. The size of the data being accessed is determined by the instruction that is used to access the accumulator. As shown in Figure 4-8, you use the least significant 8 or 16 bits of the value that is stored in the accumulator to access the accumulator as bytes or words. To access the accumulator as a double word, you use all 32 bits. For information about how to use the accumulators within interrupt subroutines, refer to the Interrupt Instructions in Chapter 6.

Special Memory: SM
The SM bits provide a means for communicating information between the CPU and your program. You can use these bits to select and control some of the special functions of the S7-200 CPU, such as: a bit that turns on for the first scan cycle, a bit that toggles at a fixed rate, or a bit that shows the status of math or operational instructions. (For more information about the SM bits, see Appendix D.) You can access the SM bits as bits, bytes, words, or double words: Bit: Byte, Word, or Double Word: SM[byte address].[bit address] SM[size][starting byte address] SM0.1 SMB86
Local Memory Area: L

The S7-200 provides 64 bytes of local memory of which 60 can be used as scratchpad memory or for passing formal parameters to subroutines. Tip If you are programming in either LAD or FBD, STEP 7--Micro/WIN reserves the last four bytes of local memory for its own use. Local memory is similar to V memory with one major exception. V memory has a global scope while L memory has a local scope. The term global scope means that the same memory location can be accessed from any program entity (main program, subroutines, or interrupt routines). The term local scope means that the memory allocation is associated with a particular program entity. The S7-200 allocates 64 bytes of L memory for the main program, 64 bytes for each subroutine nesting level, and 64 bytes for interrupt routines. The allocation of L memory for the main program cannot be accessed from subroutines or from interrupt routines. A subroutine cannot access the L memory allocation of the main program, an interrupt routine, or another subroutine. Likewise, an interrupt routine cannot access the L memory allocation of the main program or of a subroutine. The allocation of L memory is made by the S7-200 on an as-needed basis. This means that while the main portion of the program is being executed, the L memory allocations for subroutines and interrupt routines do not exist. At the time that an interrupt occurs or a subroutine is called, local memory is allocated as required. The new allocation of L memory might reuse the same L memory locations of a different subroutine or interrupt routine. The L memory is not initialized by the S7-200 at the time of allocation and might contain any value. When you pass formal parameters in a subroutine call, the values of the parameters being passed are placed by the S7-200 in the appropriate L memory locations of the called subroutine. L memory locations, which do not receive a value as a result of the formal parameter passing step, will not be initialized and might contain any value at the time of allocation. Bit: Byte, Word, or Double Word: L[byte address].[bit address] L[size] [starting byte address] L0.0 LB33
Analog Inputs: AI
The S7-200 converts an analog value (such as temperature or voltage) into a word-length (16-bit) digital value. You access these values by the area identifier (AI), size of the data (W), and the starting byte address. Since analog inputs are words and always start on even-number bytes (such as 0, 2, or 4), you access them with even-number byte addresses (such as AIW0, AIW2, or AIW4). Analog input values are read-only values. Format: AIW[starting byte address] AIW4
31
Analog Outputs: AQ
The S7-200 converts a word-length (16-bit) digital value into a current or voltage, proportional to the digital value (such as for a current or voltage). You write these values by the area identifier (AQ), size of the data (W), and the starting byte address. Since analog outputs are words and always start on even-number bytes (such as 0, 2, or 4), you write them with even-number byte addresses (such as AQW0, AQW2, or AQW4). Analog output values are write-only values. Format: AQW[starting byte address] AQW4
Sequence Control Relay (SCR) Memory Area: S

SCRs or S bits are used to organize machine operations or steps into equivalent program segments. SCRs allow logical segmentation of the control program. You can access the S bits as bits, bytes, words, or double words. Bit: Byte, Word, or Double Word: S[byte address].[bit address] S[size][starting byte address] S3.1 SB4
Format for Real Numbers

Real (or floating-point) numbers are represented as 32-bit, single-precision numbers, whose format is described in the ANSI/IEEE 754--1985 standard. See Figure 4-9. Real numbers are accessed in double-word lengths. For the S7-200, floating point numbers are accurate up to 6 decimal places. Therefore, you can specify a maximum of 6 decimal places when entering a floating-point p g gp constant. t t

Accuracy when Calculating Real Numbers

Calculations that involve a long series of values including very large and very small numbers can produce inaccurate results. This can occur if the numbers differ by 10 to the power of x, where x > 6. For example: 100 000 000 + 1 = 100 000 000
Format for Strings

A string is a sequence of characters, with each character being stored as a byte. The first byte of the string defines the length of the string, which is the number of characters. Figure 4-10 shows the format for a string. A string can have a length of 0 to 254 characters, plus the length byte, so the maximum length for a string is 255 bytes. A string constant is limited to 126 bytes.

Specifying a Constant Value for S7-200 Instructions

You can use a constant value in many of the S7-200 instructions. Constants can be bytes, words, or double words. The S7-200 stores all constants as binary numbers, which can then be represented in decimal, hexadecimal, ASCII, or real number (floating point) formats. See Table 4-2.
Table 4-2 Decimal Hexadecimal Binary ASCII Real String Representation of Constant Values Format [decimal value] 16#[hexadecimal value] 2#[binary number] [ASCII text] ANSI/IEEE 754-1985 [stringtext] Sample 20047 16#4E4F 2#1010_0101_1010_0101 ABCD +1.175495E-38 (positive) -1.175495E-38 (negative) ABCDE
Representation
Tip The S7-200 CPU does not support data typing or data checking (such as specifying that the constant is stored as an integer, a signed integer, or a double integer). For example, an Add instruction can use the value in VW100 as a signed integer value, while an Exclusive Or instruction can use the same value in VW100 as an unsigned binary value.
Addressing the Local and Expansion I/O

The local I/O provided by the CPU provides a fixed set of I/O addresses. You can add I/O points to the S7-200 CPU by connecting expansion I/O modules to the right side of the CPU, forming an I/O chain. The addresses of the points of the module are determined by the type of I/O and the position of the module in the chain, with respect to the preceding input or output module of the same type. For example, an output module does not affect the addresses of the points on an input module, and vice versa. Likewise, analog modules do not affect the addressing of digital modules, and vice versa. Tip Process-image register space for digital I/O is always reserved in increments of eight bits (one byte). If a module does not provide a physical point for each bit of each reserved byte, these unused bits cannot be assigned to subsequent modules in the I/O chain. For input modules, the unused bits are set to zero with each input update cycle. Analog I/O points are always allocated in increments of two points. If a module does not provide physical I/O for each of these points, these I/O points are lost and are not available for assignment to subsequent modules in the I/O chain.

Figure 4-11 provides an example of the I/O numbering for a particular hardware configuration. The gaps in the addressing (shown as gray italic text) cannot be used by your program.

Using Pointers for Indirect Addressing of the S7-200 Memory Areas

Indirect addressing uses a pointer to access the data in memory. Pointers are double word memory locations that contain the address of another memory location. You can only use V memory locations, L memory locations, or accumulator registers (AC1, AC2, AC3) as pointers. To create a pointer, you must use the Move Double Word instruction to move the address of the indirectly addressed memory location to the pointer location. Pointers can also be passed to a subroutine as a parameter. The S7-200 allows pointers to access the following memory areas: I, Q, V, M, S, AI, AQ, SM, T (current value only), and C (current value only). You cannot use indirect addressing to access an individual bit or to access HC or L memory areas. To indirectly access the data in a memory address, you create a pointer to that location by entering an ampersand (&) and the memory location to be addressed. The input operand of the instruction must be preceded with an ampersand (&) to signify that the address of a memory location, instead of its contents, is to be moved into the location identified in the output operand of the instruction (the pointer). Entering an asterisk (*) in front of an operand for an instruction specifies that the operand is a pointer. As shown in Figure 4-12, entering *AC1 specifies that AC1 is a pointer to the word-length value being referenced by the Move Word (MOVW) instruction. In this example, the values stored in both VB200 and VB201 are moved to accumulator AC0.

Modifying a Pointer
Tip Remember to adjust for the size of the data that you are accessing: to access a byte, increment the pointer value by 1; to access a word or a current value for a timer or counter, add or increment the pointer value by 2; and to access a double word, add or increment the pointer value by 4.
Sample Program for Using an Offset to Access Data in V Memory This example uses LD10 as a pointer to the address VB0. You then increment the pointer by an offset stored in VD1004. LD10 then points to another address in V memory (VB0 + offset). The value stored in the V memory address pointed to by LD10 is then copied to VB1900. By changing the value in VD1004, you can access any V memory location. Network 1 //How to use an offset to read the value //of any VB location: // //1. Load the starting address of the //V memory to a pointer. //2. Add the offset value to the pointer. //3. Copy the value from the V memory //location (offset) to VB1900. // LD MOVD +D MOVB SM0.0 &VB0, LD10 VD1004, LD10 *LD10, VB1900

Sample Program for Using a Pointer to Access Data in a Table This example uses LD14 as a pointer to a recipe stored in a table of recipes that begins at VB100. In this example, VW1008 stores the index to a specific recipe in the table. If each recipe in the table is 50 bytes long, you multiply the index by 50 to obtain the offset for the starting address of a specific recipe. By adding the offset to the pointer, you can access the individual recipe from the table. In this example, the recipe is copied to the 50 bytes that start at VB1500. Network 1 //How to transfer a recipe from a table of recipes: // - Each recipe is 50 bytes long. // - The index parameter (VW1008) identifies // the recipe to be loaded. // //1.

Understanding How the S7-200 Saves and Restores Data

The S7-200 provides a variety of features to ensure that your user program and data are properly retained in the S7-200.
-
Retentive Data Memory -- Areas of data memory the user selects to remain unchanged over a power cycle, as long as the super capacitor and the optional battery cartridge have not been discharged. V, M, Timer Currents, and Counter Currents are the only data memory areas that are configurable to be retentive. Permanent Memory -- Non-volatile memory used to store the program block, data block, system block, forced values, M memory configured to be saved on loss of power, and selected values written under user program control Memory Cartridge -- Removable non-volatile memory used to store the program block, data block, system block, recipes, data logs, and forced values
You can use the S7-200 Explorer to store documentation files (doc, text, pdf, etc.) into the cartridge. You can also use the S7-200 Explorer to perform general file maintenance on the memory cartridge (copy, delete, directory and launch). To install a memory cartridge, remove the plastic slot cover from the S7-200 CPU and insert the memory cartridge in the slot. The memory cartridge is keyed for proper installation. Caution Electrostatic discharge can damage the memory cartridge or the receptacle on the S7-200 CPU. Make contact with a grounded conductive pad and/or wear a grounded wrist strap when you handle the cartridge. Store the cartridge in a conductive container.

Downloading and Uploading the Elements of Your Project

Your project consists of different elements:
-
Program block Data block (optional) System block (optional) Recipes (optional) Data log configurations (optional)
When you download a project, the program block, data block and system block are stored in permanent memory for safekeeping. Recipes and data log configurations are stored in the memory cartridge, and replace any existing recipes and data logs. Any program elements not included in the download operation are left unchanged in permanent memory and the memory cartridge. If a project download includes recipes or data log configurations, the memory cartridge must remain installed for proper program operation. To download your project to an S7-200 CPU: 1. 2. 3. Select the File > Download menu command. Click each project element you wish to download. Click the Download Button.
Figure 4-14 Download a Project to S7-200 CPU
When you upload a project to your computer using STEP 7--Micro/WIN, the S7-200 uploads the program block, data block and system block from permanent memory. The recipes and data log configurations are uploaded from the memory cartridge. The data from the data logs is not uploaded to your computer using STEP7--Micro/WIN. The S7-200 Explorer is used to upload the data from the data logs (see Chapter 14). To upload your project from an S7-200 CPU: 1. 2. 3. Select the File > Upload menu command. Click each project element that you wish to upload. Click the Upload Button.

Storing your Program on a Memory Cartridge

The S7-200 allows you to copy your user program from one CPU to another using a memory cartridge. You can also distribute updates for any of the following blocks in your S7-200: the program block, system block or data block. Before copying any program elements to the memory cartridge, STEP 7--Micro/WIN deletes all program elements (including recipes and data logs) except for user files on the memory cartridge. If your program will not fit because of the size of your files, you can do one of two things to create enough storage space for your program. You can either erase the memory cartridge using the PLC > Erase Memory Cartridge menu command. Or, you can open the S7-200 Explorer and remove user files that are no longer needed. The PLC must be in STOP mode to program the memory cartridge. To store your program in the memory cartridge: 1. Select the PLC > Program Memory Cartridge menu command. Click each project element you wish to copy to the memory cartridge (all program elements that exist in your project are selected by default). If the system block is selected the force values will be copied as well. Click the Program Button
Figure 4-16 Store a Program on a Memory Cartridge

The program block, system block, data block, and any forced values are copied from permanent memory in the S7-200 to the memory cartridge. The recipes and data log configurations are copied from STEP 7--Micro/WIN to the memory cartridge.
Restoring a Program from a Memory Cartridge

To transfer the program from a memory cartridge to the S7-200, you must apply power to the S7-200 with the memory cartridge installed. If any of the blocks or force values present in the memory cartridge are different from the blocks or force values in the S7-200, then all blocks present in the memory cartridge are copied to the S7-200.
-
If a program block was transferred from the memory cartridge, the program block in permanent memory is replaced. If a data block was transferred from the memory cartridge, the data block in permanent memory is replaced, all of V memory is cleared, and V memory is initialized with the contents of the data block. If a system block was transferred from the memory cartridge, the system block and force values in the permanent memory are replaced and all retentive memory is cleared.
Once the transferred program has been stored to permanent memory you can remove the memory cartridge. However, if recipes or data logs are present in the cartridge, you must leave the memory cartridge installed. Leaving the memory cartridge installed will delay entry to RUN mode on subsequent power cycles. Notice Powering on an S7-200 CPU with an installed memory cartridge that was programmed by a different model of S7-200 CPU can cause an error. Memory cartridges that are programmed by a lower model number CPU can be read by a higher model number CPU. However, the opposite is not true. For example, memory cartridges that are programmed by a CPU 221 or CPU 222 can be read by a CPU 224, but memory cartridges that are programmed by a CPU 224 are rejected by a CPU 221 or CPU 222. For a complete list of memory cartridge usage restrictions, see Optional Cartridges (Memory Cartridge) in Appendix A.

Chapter 4
Saving the Retentive M Memory Area on Power Loss

If you configured any of the first 14 bytes of bit memory (MB0 to MB13) to be retentive, these bytes are saved to permanent memory when the S7-200 loses power. By default, the first 14 bytes of M memory are selected to be non-retentive.
Restoring Data after Power On

When power is applied, the S7-200 restores the program block and the system block from permanent memory. The S7-200 then verifies that the super capacitor and optional battery cartridge, if installed, has successfully maintained the data stored in RAM memory. If the data was successfully maintained, the retentive areas of user data memory are left unchanged. The non-retentive portions of V memory are restored from the contents of the data block in permanent memory. The non-retentive portions of other memory areas are cleared. If the contents of RAM were not maintained (such as after an extended power failure), the S7-200 clears all user data areas, sets the Retentive Data Lost memory bit (SM0.2), restores V memory from the contents of the data block in permanent memory, and restores the first 14 bytes of M memory from permanent memory if these bytes were previously configured as retentive.
Using Your Program to Save V Memory to Permanent Memory

You can save a value (byte, word, or double word) stored in any location of the V memory area to permanent memory. A save to permanent memory operation typically increases the scan time by 10 to 15 ms. The value written by the Save operation overwrites any previous value stored in the V memory area of permanent memory. The save to permanent memory operation does not update the data in the memory cartridge. Tip Since the number of save operations to the permanent memory (EEPROM) is limited (100,000 minimum, and 1,000,000 typical), you should ensure that only necessary values are saved. Otherwise, the EEPROM can wear out and the CPU can fail. Typically, you should perform save operations at the occurrence of specific events that occur rather infrequently. For example, if the scan time of the S7-200 is 50 ms and a value was saved once per scan, the EEPROM would last a minimum of 5,000 seconds, which is less than an hour and a half. On the other hand, if a value were saved once an hour, the EEPROM would last a minimum of 11 years.
Copying V Memory to Permanent Memory

Special Memory Byte 31 (SMB31) commands the S7-200 to copy a value in V memory to the V memory area of permanent memory. Special Memory Word 32 (SMW32) stores the address location of the value that is to be copied. Figure 4-17 shows the format of SMB31 and SMW32. Use the following steps to program the S7-200 to save or write a specific value in V memory: 1. 2. 3. Load the V memory address of the value to be saved in SMW32. Load the size of the data in SM31.0 and SM31.1, as shown in Figure 4-17. Set SM31.7 to 1.

Save to permanent memory: 0 = No 1 = Yes The CPU resets SM31.7 after each save operation.
SMW32
At the end of every scan cycle, the S7-200 checks SM31.7; if SM31.7 equals 1, the specified value is saved to permanent memory. The operation is complete when the S7-200 resets SM31.7 to 0. Do not change the value in V memory until the save operation is complete.

V memory address
Specify the V memory address as an offset from V0.

Tip Copying V Memory to permanent memory can be used to save values that are created from an HMI and stored from the program to the internal EEPROM. To include the values saved to the internal EEPROM in your STEP 7--Micro/WIN project, you must upload the DB. However, this upload is only possible if the DB (which included a variable that was at an equal or higher address than the V Memory address saved in SMW32) was previously downloaded from STEP 7--Micro/WIN.
Sample Program: Copying V Memory to the Permanent Memory This example transfers VB100 to permanent memory. On a rising edge of I0.0, if another transfer is not in progress, it loads the address of the V memory location to be transferred to SMW32. It selects the amount of V memory to transfer (1=Byte; 2=Word; 3=Double Word or Real). It then sets SM31.7 to have the S7-200 transfer the data at the end of the scan. The S7-200 automatically resets SM31.7 when the transfer is complete. Network 1 //Transfer a V memory //location (VB100) to //permanent memory I0.0 SM31.7 +100, SMW32 1, SMB31 SM31.7, 1

Selecting the Operating Mode for the S7-200 CPU

The S7-200 has two modes of operation: STOP mode and RUN mode. The status LEDs on the front of the CPU indicates the current mode of operation. In STOP mode, the S7-200 is not executing the program, and you can download a program or the CPU configuration. In RUN mode, the S7-200 is running the program.
-
The S7-200 provides a mode switch for changing the mode of operation. You can use the mode switch (located under the front access door of the S7-200) to manually select the operating mode: setting the mode switch to STOP mode stops the execution of the program; setting the mode switch to RUN mode starts the execution of the program; and setting the mode switch to TERM (terminal) mode does not change the operating mode. If a power cycle occurs when the mode switch is set to either STOP or TERM, the S7-200 goes automatically to STOP mode when power is restored. If a power cycle occurs when the mode switch is set to RUN, the S7-200 goes to RUN mode when power is restored.
STEP 7--Micro/WIN allows you to change the operating mode of the online S7-200. To enable the software to change the operating mode, you must manually set the mode switch on the S7-200 to either TERM or RUN. You can use the PLC > STOP or PLC > RUN menu commands or the associated buttons on the toolbar to change the operating mode. You can insert the STOP instruction in your program to change the S7-200 to STOP mode. This allows you to halt the execution of your program based on the program logic. For more information about the STOP instruction, see Chapter 6.

Using the S7-200 Explorer

The S7-200 Explorer is an extension to the Windows Explorer application that provides access to S7-200 PLCs and allows the contents of each connected PLC to be explored. The different blocks that may reside in either the PLC or the memory cartridge can be determined. Properties are available for each block. Since the S7-200 Explorer is an extension to the Windows Explorer application, standard Windows navigation and behaviors are supported.
Figure 4-18 S7-200 Explorer
The S7-200 Explorer is the mechanism used to read data log data stored within the memory cartridge. Refer to Chapter 14 for more information about data logs. The S7-200 Explorer can also be used to read or write user files to the memory cartridge. These can be any type of files, Word documents, bitmap files, jpeg files, or STEP 7--Micro/WIN projects.
Features of the S7-200

The S7-200 provides several special features that allow you to customize how the S7-200 functions to better fit your application.
The S7-200 Allows Your Program to Immediately Read or Write the I/O
The S7-200 instruction set provides instructions that immediately read from or write to the physical I/O. These immediate I/O instructions allow direct access to the actual input or output point, even though the image registers are normally used as either the source or the destination for I/O accesses. The corresponding process-image input register location is not modified when you use an immediate instruction to access an input point. The corresponding process-image output register location is updated simultaneously when you use an immediate instruction to access an output point. Tip The S7-200 handles reads of analog inputs as immediate data, unless you enable analog input filtering. When you write a value to an analog output, the output is updated immediately. It is usually advantageous to use the process-image register rather than to directly access inputs or outputs during the execution of your program. There are three reasons for using the image registers:
-
The sampling of all inputs at the start of the scan synchronizes and freezes the values of the inputs for the program execution phase of the scan cycle. The outputs are updated from the image register after the execution of the program is complete. This provides a stabilizing effect on the system. Your program can access the image register much more quickly than it can access I/O points, allowing faster execution of the program. I/O points are bit entities and must be accessed as bits or bytes, but you can access the image register as bits, bytes, words, or double words. Thus, the image registers provide additional flexibility.
41
The S7-200 Allows Your Program to Interrupt the Scan Cycle

If you use interrupts, the routines associated with each interrupt event are stored as part of the program. The interrupt routines are not executed as part of the normal scan cycle, but are executed when the interrupt event occurs (which could be at any point in the scan cycle). Interrupts are serviced by the S7-200 on a first-come-first-served basis within their respective priority assignments. See the Interrupt instructions in Chapter 6 for more information.
The S7-200 Allows You to Allocate Processing Time for Run Mode Edit and Execution Status
You can configure a percentage of the scan cycle to be dedicated for processing a run mode edit compilation or execution status. (Run mode edit and execution status are options provided by STEP 7--Micro/WIN to make debugging your program easier.) As you increase the percentage of time that is dedicated to these two tasks, you increase the scan time, which makes your control process run more slowly. The default percentage of the scan dedicated to processing run mode edits and execution status is set to 10%. This setting was chosen to provide a reasonable compromise for processing the compilation and status operations while minimizing the impact to your control process. You can adjust this value by 5% increments up to a maximum of 50%. To set the scan cycle time-slice for background communications: 1. Select the View > Component > System Block menu command and select Background Time. In the Background tab, use the drop down box to select the communications background time. Click OK to save your selection. Download the modified system block to the S7-200.

The S7-200 Allows You to Set the States of Digital Outputs for Stop Mode
The output table of the S7-200 allows you to determine whether to set the state of the digital output points to known values upon a transition to the STOP mode, or to leave the outputs in the state they were in before the transition to the STOP mode. The output table is part of the system block that is downloaded and stored in the S7-200. 1. Select the View > Component > System Block menu command and select Output Table. Click on the Digital tab. To freeze the outputs in their last state, select the Freeze Outputs checkbox. To copy the table values to the outputs, enter the output table values by clicking the checkbox for each output bit you want to set to On (1) after a run-to-stop transition. The default values of the table are all zeroes. Click OK to save your selections. Download the modified system block to the S7-200.

The S7-200 Allows You to Configure the Value of Analog Outputs

The Analog Output Table allows you to set analog output points to known values after a RUN-to-STOP transition, or to preserve the output values that existed before the transition to STOP mode. The Analog Output table is part of the system block that is downloaded and stored in the S7-200 CPU. 1. Select the View > Component > System Block menu command and select Output Table. Click on the Analog tab. To freeze the outputs in their last state, select the Freeze Outputs check box. The Freeze Values table allows you to set the analog outputs to a known value (--32768 to 37262), on a RUN-to-STOP transition. Click OK to save your selections. Download the modified system block to the S7-200.

The S7-200 Allows You to Define Memory to Be Retained on Loss of Power

You can define up to six retentive ranges to select the areas of memory you want to retain through power cycles. You can define ranges of addresses in the following memory areas to be retentive: V, M, C, and T. For timers, only the retentive timers (TONR) can be retained. The default setting for the first 14 bytes of M Memory is to be non-retentive. Only the current values for timers and counters can be retained: the timer and counter bits are not retentive.
43
Tip Changing the range MB0 to MB13 to be retentive enables a special feature that automatically saves these locations to the permanent memory on power down. To define the retentive memory: 1. Select the View > Component > System Block menu command and select Retentive Ranges. Select the ranges of memory to be retained following loss of power and click OK. Download the modified system block to the S7-200.

The S7-200 Allows You to Filter the Digital Inputs

The S7-200 allows you to select an input filter that defines a delay time (selectable from 0.2 ms to 12.8 ms) for some or all of the local digital input points. This delay helps to filter noise on the input wiring that could cause inadvertent changes to the states of the inputs. The input filter is part of the system block that is downloaded and stored in the S7-200. The default filter time is 6.4 ms. As shown in Figure 4-23, each delay specification applies to groups of input points. To configure the delay times for the input filter: 1. Select the View > Component > System Block menu command and select Input Filters. Click on the Digital tab. Enter the amount of delay for each group of inputs and click OK. Download the modified system block to the S7-200.

PLC Concepts
Chapter 4
The S7-200 Allows You to Filter the Analog Inputs

The S7-200 allows you to select software filtering on individual analog inputs. The filtered value is the average value of a preselected number of samples of the analog input. The filter specification (number of samples and deadband) is the same for all analog inputs for which filtering is enabled. The filter has a fast response feature to allow large changes to be quickly reflected in the filter value. The filter makes a step function change to the latest analog input value when the input exceeds a specified change from the current value. This change, called the deadband, is specified in counts of the digital value of the analog input. The default configuration is to enable filtering for all analog inputs except AIW0 and AIW2 on CPU 224XP. 1. Select the View > Component > System Block menu command and select Input Filters. Click on the Analog tab. Select the analog inputs that you want to filter, the number of samples, and the deadband. Click OK. Download the modified system block to the S7-200.

Tip Do not use the analog filter with modules that pass digital information or alarm indications in the analog words. Always disable analog filtering for RTD, Thermocouple, and AS-Interface Master modules. Tip AIW0 and AIW2 on the CPU 224XP are filtered by the analog to digital converter, and usually will not need the additional software filter.
The S7-200 Allows You to Catch Pulses of Short Duration

The S7-200 provides a pulse catch feature which can be used for some or all of the local digital input points. The pulse catch feature allows you to capture high-going pulses or low-going pulses that are of such a short duration that they would not always be seen when the S7-200 reads the digital inputs at the beginning of the scan cycle. When pulse catch is enabled for an input, a change in state of the input is latched and held until the next input cycle update. This ensures that a pulse which lasts for a short period of time is caught and held until the S7-200 reads the inputs. You can individually enable the pulse catch operation for each of the local digital inputs. To access the pulse catch configuration screen: 1. Select the View > Component > System Block menu command and select Pulse Catch Bits. Click the corresponding check box and click OK. Download the modified system block to the S7-200.

Because the pulse catch function operates on the input after it passes through the input filter, you must adjust the input filter time so that the pulse is not removed by the filter. Figure 4-27 shows a block diagram of the digital input circuit.

The S7-200 Provides a User-Controlled LED

The S7-200 provides an LED (SF/DIAG) that can indicate red (system fault LED) or yellow (diagnostic LED). The diagnostic LED can be illuminated under user program control, or can automatically illuminate under certain conditions: when an I/O point or data value is forced, or when a module has an I/O error. To configure the automatic selections for the diagnostic LED: 1. Select the View > Component > System Block menu command and select Configure LED. Click each item to either enable or disable turning on the LED when an I/O point or data value is forced, or when a module has an I/O error. Download the modified system block to the S7-200.

The S7-200 Maintains a History Log of Major CPU Events

The S7-200 maintains a log that contains a time-stamped history of major CPU events, such as when power is applied, when the CPU enters RUN mode, and when fatal errors occur. Your time-of-day clock must be configured in order to get valid time and date stamps on the log entries. To view the Event History log, select the PLC > Information menu command and select Event History.

The S7-200 Provides Password Protection

All models of the S7-200 provide password protection for restricting access to specific functions. A password authorizes access to the functions and memory: without a password, the S7-200 provides unrestricted access. When it is password protected, the S7-200 limits all restricted operations according to the configuration provided when the password was installed The password is not case-sensitive. As shown in Table 4-3, the S7-200 provides four levels of access restriction. Each level allows certain functions to be accessible without a password. For the four levels of access, entering the correct password provides access to the functions as noted below. The default condition for the S7-200 is level 1 (no restriction). Entering the password over a network does not compromise the password protection for the S7-200. You can in effect, disable the password by changing the password level 4, 3, or 2 to Level 1, since Level 1 allows all unrestricted CPU access.

Only one user is allowed unrestricted access to the S7-200 at a time. Tip After you enter the password, the authorization level for that password remains effective for up to one minute after the programming device has been disconnected from the S7-200. Always exit STEP 7-Micro/WIN before disconnecting the cable to prevent another user from accessing the privileges of the programming device.

Configuring a Password for the S7-200

The System Block dialog box (Figure 4-32) allows you to configure a password for the S7-200. The default condition for the S7-200 is set at Full (Level 1), no restriction. 1. Select the View > Component > System Block menu command to display the System Block dialog box and select Password. Select the appropriate level of access for the S7-200. Enter and verify the password for Partial (Level 2) or Minimum (Level 3). Click OK. Download the modified system block to the S7-200.
Figure 4-32 Creating a Password
2. 3.
4. 5.
Recovering from a Lost Password

If you forget the password, you must clear the memory of the S7-200 and reload your program. Clearing the memory puts the S7-200 in STOP mode and resets the S7-200 to the factory-set defaults, except for the network address, baud rate, and the time-of-day clock. To clear your program in the S7-200: 1. 2. 3. Select the PLC > Clear menu command to display the Clear dialog box. Select all three blocks and confirm your action by clicking OK. If a password had been configured, STEP 7--Micro/WIN displays a password-authorization dialog box. To clear the password, enter CLEARPLC in the password-authorization dialog box to continue the Clear All operation. (The CLEARPLC password is not case sensitive.)
The Clear All operation does not remove the program from a memory cartridge. Since the memory cartridge stores the password along with the program, you must also reprogram the memory cartridge to remove the lost password. Warning Clearing the S7-200 memory causes the outputs to turn off (or in the case of an analog output, to be frozen at a specific value). If the S7-200 is connected to equipment when you clear the memory, changes in the state of the outputs can be transmitted to the equipment. If you had configured the safe state for the outputs to be different from the factory settings, changes in the outputs could cause unpredictable operation of your equipment, which in turn could cause death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. Always follow appropriate safety precautions and ensure that your process is in a safe state before clearing the S7-200 memory.

The S7-200 Provides Analog Adjustment Potentiometers

The analog adjustment potentiometers are located under the front access cover of the module. You can adjust these potentiometers to increase or decrease values that are stored in bytes of Special Memory (SMB). These read-only values can be used by the program for a variety of functions, such as updating the current value for a timer or a counter, entering or changing the preset values, or setting limits. Use a small screwdriver to make the adjustments: turn the potentiometer clockwise (to the right) to increase the value, and counterclockwise (to the left) to decrease the value. SMB28 holds the digital value that represents the position of analog adjustment 0. SMB29 holds the digital value that represents the position of analog adjustment 1. The analog adjustment has a nominal range of 0 to 255 and a repeatability of 2 counts.
Sample Program for Referencing the Value Entered with the Analog Adjustment Potentiometers Network 1 LD BTI //Read analog adjustment 0 (SMB28). //Save the value as an integer in VW100.

Q0.0 T33, VW100 //Turn on Q0.0 when T33 reaches //the preset value.
Network 3 LD = T33 Q0.0
The S7-200 Provides High-speed I/O

High-Speed Counters
The S7-200 provides integrated high-speed counter functions that count high speed external events without degrading the performance of the S7-200. See Appendix A for the rates supported by your CPU model. Each counter has dedicated inputs for clocks, direction control, reset, and start, where these functions are supported. You can select different quadrature modes for varying the counting rate. For more information on high-speed counters, see Chapter 6.
High-Speed Pulse Output

The S7-200 supports high-speed pulse outputs, with outputs Q0.0 and Q0.1 generating either a high-speed pulse train output (PTO) or pulse width modulation (PWM). The PTO function provides a square wave (50% duty cycle) output for a specified number of pulses (from 1 to 4,294,967,295 pulses) and a specified cycle time (in either microsecond or millisecond increments. You can program the PTO function to produce either one train of pulses or a pulse profile consisting of multiple trains of pulses. For example, you can use a pulse profile to control a stepper motor through a simple ramp up, run, and ramp down sequence or more complicated sequences. The PWM function provides a fixed cycle time with a variable duty cycle output, with the cycle time and the pulse width specified in either microsecond or millisecond increments. When the pulse width is equal to the cycle time, the duty cycle is 100 percent and the output is turned on continuously. When the pulse width is zero, the duty cycle is 0 percent and the output is turned off. For more information on the high-speed pulse output instruction, see Chapter 6. For more information about using PTO in open loop motion control, see Chapter 9.

Programming Concepts, Conventions, and Features

The S7-200 continuously executes your program to control a task or process. You use STEP 7--Micro/WIN to create this program and download it to the S7-200. STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides a variety of tools and features for designing, implementing, and debugging your program.

Guidelines for Designing a Micro PLC System

There are many methods for designing a Micro PLC system. The following general guidelines can apply to many design projects. Of course, you must follow the directives of your own companys procedures and the accepted practices of your own training and location.
Partition Your Process or Machine

Divide your process or machine into sections that have a level of independence from each other. These partitions determine the boundaries between controllers and influence the functional description specifications and the assignment of resources.
Create the Functional Specifications

Write the descriptions of operation for each section of the process or machine. Include the following topics: I/O points, functional description of the operation, states that must be achieved before allowing action for each actuator (such as solenoids, motors, and drives), description of the operator interface, and any interfaces with other sections of the process or machine.
Design the Safety Circuits

Identify equipment requiring hard-wired logic for safety. Control devices can fail in an unsafe manner, producing unexpected startup or change in the operation of machinery. Where unexpected or incorrect operation of the machinery could result in physical injury to people or significant property damage, consideration should be given to the use of electro-mechanical overrides which operate independently of the S7-200 to prevent unsafe operations. The following tasks should be included in the design of safety circuits:
-
Identify improper or unexpected operation of actuators that could be hazardous. Identify the conditions that would assure the operation is not hazardous, and determine how to detect these conditions independently of the S7-200. Identify how the S7-200 CPU and I/O affect the process when power is applied and removed, and when errors are detected. This information should only be used for designing for the normal and expected abnormal operation, and should not be relied on for safety purposes. Design manual or electro-mechanical safety overrides that block the hazardous operation independent of the S7-200. Provide appropriate status information from the independent circuits to the S7-200 so that the program and any operator interfaces have necessary information. Identify any other safety-related requirements for safe operation of the process.
Specify the Operator Stations

Based on the requirements of the functional specifications, create drawings of the operator stations. Include the following items:
-
Overview showing the location of each operator station in relation to the process or machine Mechanical layout of the devices, such as display, switches, and lights, for the operator station Electrical drawings with the associated I/O of the S7-200 CPU or expansion module
52
Chapter 5
Create the Configuration Drawings

Based on the requirements of the functional specification, create configuration drawings of the control equipment. Include the following items:
-
Overview showing the location of each S7-200 in relation to the process or machine Mechanical layout of the S7-200 and expansion I/O modules (including cabinets and other equipment) Electrical drawings for each S7-200 and expansion I/O module (including the device model numbers, communications addresses, and I/O addresses)
Create a List of Symbolic Names (optional)

If you choose to use symbolic names for addressing, create a list of symbolic names for the absolute addresses. Include not only the physical I/O signals, but also the other elements to be used in your program.
Basic Elements of a Program

A program block is composed of executable code and comments. The executable code consists of a main program and any subroutines or interrupt routines. The code is compiled and downloaded to the S7-200; the program comments are not. You can use the organizational elements (main program, subroutines, and interrupt routines) to structure your control program. The following example shows a program that includes a subroutine and an interrupt routine. This sample program uses a timed interrupt for reading the value of an analog input every 100 ms.
Example:Basic Elements of a Program M A I N S B R 0 Network 1 LD CALL Network 1 //On first scan, call subroutine 0. SM0.1 SBR_0 //Set the interval to 100 ms //for the timed interrupt. //Enable interrupt 0. SM0.0 100, SMB34 INT_0, 10
LD MOVB ATCH ENI
I N T 0
Network 1 LD MOVW
//Sample the Analog Input 4. SM0.0 AIW4,VW100
Main Program
The main body of the program contains the instructions that control your application. The S7-200 executes these instructions sequentially, once per scan cycle. The main program is also referred to as OB1.
53
Subroutines
These optional elements of your program are executed only when called: by the main program, by an interrupt routine, or by another subroutine. Subroutines are useful in cases where you want to execute a function repeatedly. Rather than rewriting the logic for each place in the main program where you want the function to occur, you can write the logic once in a subroutine and call the subroutine as many times as needed during the main program. Subroutines provide several benefits:
-
Using subroutines reduces the overall size of your program. Using subroutines decreases your scan time because you have moved the code out of the main program. The S7-200 evaluates the code in the main program every scan cycle, whether the code is executed or not, but the S7-200 evaluates the code in the subroutine only when you call the subroutine, and does not evaluate the code during the scans in which the subroutine is not called. Using subroutines creates code that is portable. You can isolate the code for a function in a subroutine, and then copy that subroutine into other programs with little or no rework.
Tip Using V memory addresses can limit the portability of your subroutine, because it is possible for V memory address assignment from one program to conflict with an assignment in another program. Subroutines that use the local variable table (L memory) for all address assignments, by contrast, are highly portable because there is no concern about address conflicts between the subroutine and another part of the program when using local variables.
Interrupt Routines
These optional elements of your program react to specific interrupt events. You design an interrupt routine to handle a pre-defined interrupt event. Whenever the specified event occurs, the S7-200 executes the interrupt routine. The interrupt routines are not called by your main program. You associate an interrupt routine with an interrupt event, and the S7-200 executes the instructions in the interrupt routine only on each occurrence of the interrupt event. Tip Because it is not possible to predict when the S7-200 might generate an interrupt, it is desirable to limit the number of variables that are used both by the interrupt routine and elsewhere in the program. Use the local variable table of the interrupt routine to ensure that your interrupt routine uses only the temporary memory and does not overwrite data used somewhere else in your program. There are a number of programming techniques you can use to ensure that data is correctly shared between your main program and the interrupt routines. These techniques are described in Chapter 6 with the Interrupt instructions.
Other Elements of the Program

Other blocks contain information for the S7-200. You can choose to download these blocks when you download your program.

The system block allows you to configure different hardware options for the S7-200.

Using STEP 7-Micro/WIN to Create Your Programs

To open STEP 7--Micro/WIN, double-click on the STEP 7--Micro/WIN icon, or select the Start > SIMATIC > STEP 7 MicroWIN V4.0 menu command. As shown in Figure 5-1, the STEP 7--Micro/WIN project window provides a convenient working space for creating your control program. The toolbars provide buttons for shortcuts to frequently used menu commands. You can view or hide any of the toolbars. The navigation bar presents groups of icons for accessing different programming features of STEP 7--Micro/WIN. The instruction tree displays all of the project objects and the instructions for creating your control program. You can drag and drop individual instructions from the tree into your program, or you can double-click an instruction to insert it at the current location of the cursor in the program editor.
Program Editor Instruction tree
The program editor contains the program logic and a local variable table where Navigation bar you can assign symbolic names for temporary local variables. Subroutines and interrupt routines appear as tabs at the bottom of the program editor window. Click on the tabs to move between the Figure 5-1 STEP 7-Micro/WIN subroutines, interrupts, and the main program.
Program Editor
STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides three editors for creating your program: Ladder Logic (LAD), Statement List (STL), and Function Block Diagram (FBD). With some restrictions, programs written in any of these program editors can be viewed and edited with the other program editors.
Features of the STL Editor

The STL editor displays the program as a text-based language. The STL editor allows you to create control programs by entering the instruction mnemonics. The STL editor also allows you to create programs that you could not otherwise create with the LAD or FBD editors. This is because you are programming in the native language of the S7-200, rather than in a graphical editor where some restrictions must be applied in order to draw the diagrams correctly. As shown in Figure 5-2, this text-based concept is very similar to assembly language programming. The S7-200 executes each instruction in the order dictated by the program, from top to bottom, and then restarts at the top. STL uses a logic stack to resolve the control logic. You insert the STL co t o og c ou se t t e S instructions for handling the stack operations.
LD A = I0.0 I0.1 Q1.0 //Read one input //AND with another input //Write value to output 1
Figure 5-2
Sample STL Program
Consider these main points when you select the STL editor:
-
STL is most appropriate for experienced programmers. STL sometimes allows you to solve problems that you cannot solve very easily with the LAD or FBD editor. You can only use the STL editor with the SIMATIC instruction set. While you can always use the STL editor to view or edit a program that was created with the LAD or FBD editors, the reverse is not always true. You cannot always use the LAD or FBD editors to display a program that was written with the STL editor.
55
Features of the LAD Editor

The LAD editor displays the program as a graphical representation similar to electrical wiring diagrams. Ladder programs allow the program to emulate the flow of electric current from a power source through a series of logical input conditions that in turn enable logical output conditions. A LAD program includes a left power rail that is energized. Contacts that are closed allow energy to flow through them to the next element, and contacts that are open block that energy flow. The logic is separated into networks. The program is executed one network at a time, from left to right and then top to bottom as dictated by the program. Figure 5-3 shows an example of a LAD program. The various instructions are represented by graphic symbols and include three basic forms. Contacts represent logic input conditions such as switches, buttons, or internal conditions. Coils usually represent logic output results such as lamps, motor starters, interposing relays or internal output relays, conditions.
Figure 5-3
Sample LAD Program
Boxes represent additional instructions, such as timers, counters, or math instructions. Consider these main points when you select the LAD editor:
-
Ladder logic is easy for beginning programmers to use. Graphical representation is easy to understand and is popular around the world. The LAD editor can be used with both the SIMATIC and IEC 1131--3 instruction sets. You can always use the STL editor to display a program created with the SIMATIC LAD editor.
Features of the FBD Editor

The FBD editor displays the program as a graphical representation that resembles common logic gate diagrams. There are no contacts and coils as found in the LAD editor, but there are equivalent instructions that appear as box instructions. Figure 5-4 shows an example of an FBD program. FBD does not use the concept of left and right power rails; therefore, the term power flow is used to express the analogous concept of control flow through the FBD logic blocks.
Figure 5-4
Sample FBD Program
The logic 1 path through FBD elements is called power flow. The origin of a power flow input and the destination of a power flow output can be assigned directly to an operand. The program logic is derived from the connections between these box instructions. That is, the output from one instruction (such as an AND box) can be used to enable another instruction (such as a timer) to create the necessary control logic. This connection concept allows you to solve a wide variety of logic problems. Consider these main points when you select the FBD editor:
-
The graphical logic gate style of representation is good for following program flow. The FBD editor can be used with both the SIMATIC and IEC 1131--3 instruction sets. You can always use the STL editor to display a program created with the SIMATIC FBD editor.

Chapter 5
Choosing Between the SIMATIC and IEC 1131- Instruction Sets -3

Most PLCs offer similar basic instructions, but there are usually small differences from vendor to vendor in appearance, operation, and so forth. Over the last several years, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has developed an emerging global standard that specifically relates to many aspects of PLC programming. This standard encourages different PLC manufacturers to offer instructions that are the same in both appearance and operation. Your S7-200 offers two instruction sets that allow you to solve a wide variety of automation tasks. The IEC instruction set complies with the IEC 1131--3 standard for PLC programming, and the SIMATIC instruction set is designed specifically for the S7-200. Tip When STEP 7--Micro/WIN is set to the IEC mode, it displays a red diamond ) in the Instruction Tree beside the instructions that are not defined by the IEC 1131--3 standard. There are a few key differences between the SIMATIC instruction set and the IEC instruction set:
-
The IEC instruction set is restricted to those instructions that are standard among PLC vendors. Some instructions that are normally included in the SIMATIC set are not standard instructions in the IEC 1131--3 specification. These are still available for use as non-standard instructions, but if you use them, the program is no longer strictly IEC 1131--3 compatible. Some IEC box instructions accept multiple data formats. This practice is often referred to as overloading. For example, rather than have separate ADD_I (Add Integer) and ADD_R (Add Real), math boxes, the IEC ADD instruction examines the format of the data being added and automatically chooses the correct instruction in the S7-200. This can save valuable program design time. When you use the IEC instructions, the instruction parameters are automatically checked for the proper data format, such as a signed integer versus an unsigned integer. For example, an error results if you try to enter an integer value for an instruction that expected a bit value (on/off). This feature helps to minimize programming syntax errors.
Consider these points when you select either the SIMATIC or the IEC instruction set:
-
SIMATIC instructions usually have the shortest execution times. Some IEC instructions might have longer execution times. Some IEC instructions, such as timers, counters, multiply, and divide, operate differently than their SIMATIC counterparts. You can use all three program editors (LAD, STL, FBD) with the SIMATIC instruction set. You can use only the LAD and FBD program editors for IEC instructions. The operation of the IEC instructions is standard for different brands of PLCs, and the knowledge about creating an IEC-compliant program can be leveraged across PLC platforms. While the IEC standard defines fewer instructions than are available in the SIMATIC instruction set, you can always include SIMATIC instructions in your IEC program. IEC 1131--3 specifies that variables must be declared with a type, and supports system checking of data type.
57
Understanding the Conventions Used by the Program Editors

STEP 7--Micro/WIN uses the following conventions in all of the program editors:
-
A # in front of a symbol name (#var1) indicates that the symbol is of local scope. For IEC instructions, the % symbol indicates a direct address. The operand symbol ?.? or ???? indicates that an operand configuration is required.
LAD programs are divided into segments called networks. A network is an ordered arrangement of contacts, coils, and boxes that are all connected to form a complete circuit: no short circuits, no open circuits, and no reverse power flow conditions exist. STEP 7--Micro/WIN allows you to create comments for your LAD program on a network-by-network basis. FBD programming uses the network concept for segmenting and commenting your program. STL programs do not use networks; however, you can use the NETWORK keyword to segment your program.
Conventions Specific to the LAD Editor

In the LAD editor, you can use the F4, F6, and F9 keys on your keyboard to access contact, box, and coil instructions. The LAD editor uses the following conventions:
-
The symbol ------>> is an open circuit or a required power flow connection. The symbol indicates that the output is an optional power flow for an instruction that can be cascaded or connected in series. The symbol >> indicates that you can use power flow.
Conventions Specific to the FBD Editor

In the FBD editor, you can use the F4, F6, and F9 keys on your keyboard to access AND, OR, and box instructions. The FBD editor uses the following conventions:
-
The symbol ------>> on an EN operand is a power flow or operand indicator. It can also depict an open circuit or a required power flow connection. The symbol indicates that the output is an optional power flow for an instruction that can be cascaded or connected in series. The symbols << and >> indicate that you can use either a value or power flow. Negation bubbles: The logical NOT condition or inverted condition of the operand or power flow is shown by the small circle on the input. In Figure 5-5, Q0.0 is equal to the NOT of I0.0 AND I0.1. Negation bubbles are only valid for g y Boolean signals, which can b specified as B l i l hi h be ifi d parameters or power flow.
Logical NOT Condition Immediate Condition
Figure 5-5
FBD Conventions
Immediate indicators: As shown in Figure 5-5, the FBD editor displays an immediate condition of a Boolean operand with a vertical line on the input to an FBD instruction. The immediate indicator causes an immediate read from the specified physical input. Immediate operators are only valid for physical inputs. Box with no input or output: A box with no input indicates an instruction that is independent of power flow.
Tip The number of operands can be expanded up to 32 inputs for AND and OR instructions. To add or subtract operand tics, use the + and -- keys on your keyboard.
58
Chapter 5
General Conventions of Programming for an S7-200

EN/ENO Definition
EN (Enable IN) is a Boolean input for boxes in LAD and FBD. Power flow must be present at this input for the box instruction to be executed. In STL, the instructions do not have an EN input, but the top of stack value must be a logic 1 for the corresponding STL instruction to be executed. ENO (Enable Out) is a Boolean output for boxes in LAD and FBD. If the box has power flow at the EN input and the box executes its function without error, then the ENO output passes power flow to the next element. If an error is detected in the execution of the box, then power flow is terminated at the box that generated the error. In STL, there is no ENO output, but the STL instructions that correspond to the LAD and FBD instructions with ENO outputs do set a special ENO bit. This bit is accessible with the AND ENO (AENO) instruction and can be used to generate the same effect as the ENO bit of a box. Tip The EN/ENO operands and data types are not shown in the valid operands table for each instruction because the operands are the same for all LAD and FBD instructions. Table 5-1 lists these operands and data types for LAD and FBD. These operands apply to all LAD and FBD instructions shown in this manual.
Table 5-1 EN/ENO Operands and Data Types for LAD and FBD Inputs/Outputs EN, ENO EN, ENO Operands Power Flow I, Q, V, M, SM, S, T, C, L Data Types BOOL BOOL
Program Editor LAD FBD
Conditional/Unconditional Inputs
In LAD and FBD, a box or a coil that is dependent upon power flow is shown with a connection to any element on the left side. A coil or box that is independent of power flow is shown with a connection directly to the left power rail. Table 5-2 shows an example of both a conditional and an unconditional input.
Table 5-2 Power Flow Instruction that is dependent on power flow (conditional) Representation of Conditional and Unconditional Inputs LAD FBD
Instruction that is independent of power flow (unconditional)
Instructions without Outputs

Boxes that cannot cascade are drawn with no Boolean outputs. These include the Subroutine Call, Jump, and Conditional Return instructions. There are also ladder coils that can only be placed on the left power rail. These include the Label, Next, Load SCR, Conditional SCR End, and SCR End instructions. These are shown in FBD as boxes and are distinguished with unlabeled power inputs and no outputs.
Compare Instructions
The compare instruction is executed regardless of the state of power flow. If power flow is false, the output is false. If power flow is true, the output is set depending upon the result of the compare. SIMATIC FBD, IEC Ladder, and IEC FBD compare instructions are shown as boxes, although the operation is performed as a contact.

Using Wizards To Help You Create Your Control Program

STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides wizards to make aspects of your programming easier and more automatic. In Chapter 6, instructions that have an associated wizard are identified by the following Instruction Wizard icon:

Handling Errors in the S7-200

The S7-200 classifies errors as either fatal errors or non-fatal errors. You can view the error codes that were generated by an error by selecting the PLC > Information menu command. Figure 5-6 shows the PLC Information dialog box that displays the error code and the description of the error. The Last Fatal field shows the previous fatal error code generated by the S7-200. This value is retained over power cycles if the RAM is retained. This location is cleared either whenever all memory of the S7-200 is cleared or if the RAM is not retained after a prolonged power outage. The Total Fatal field is the count of fatal errors generated by the S7-200 since the last time the S7-200 had all memory areas cleared. This value is retained over power cycles if the RAM is retained. This location is cleared whenever all memory of the S7-200 is cleared, or when the RAM is not retained after a prolonged power outage. Appendix C lists the S7-200 error codes, and Appendix D describes the special memory (SM) bits which can be used for bits, Figure 5-6 monitoring errors.
PLC Information Dialog Box
Non-Fatal Errors
Non-fatal errors are those indicating problems with the construction of the user program, with the execution of an instruction in the user program, and with expansion I/O modules. You can use STEP 7--Micro/WIN to view the error codes that were generated by the non-fatal error. There are three basic categories of non-fatal errors.
Program-compile errors
The S7-200 compiles the program as it downloads. If the S7-200 detects that the program violates a compilation rule, the download is aborted and an error code is generated. (A program that was already downloaded to the S7-200 would still exist in the permanent memory and would not be lost.) After you correct your program, you can download it again. Refer to Appendix C for a list of compile rule violations.
I/O errors
At startup, the S7-200 reads the I/O configuration from each module. During normal operation, the S7-200 periodically checks the status of each module and compares it against the configuration obtained during startup. If the S7-200 detects a difference, the S7-200 sets the configuration error bit in the module error register. The S7-200 does not read input data from or write output data to that module until the module configuration again matches the one obtained at startup.
60
Chapter 5
The module status information is stored in special memory (SM) bits. Your program can monitor and evaluate these bits. Refer to Appendix D for more information about the SM bits used for reporting I/O errors. SM5.0 is the global I/O error bit and remains set while an error condition exists on an expansion module.
Program execution errors

Your program can create error conditions while being executed. These errors can result from improper use of an instruction or from the processing of invalid data by an instruction. For example, an indirect-address pointer that was valid when the program compiled could be modified during the execution of the program to point to an out-of-range address. This is an example of a run-time programming problem. SM4.3 is set upon the occurrence of a run-time programming problem and remains set while the S7-200 is in RUN mode. (Refer to Appendix C for the list of run-time programming problems). Program execution error information is stored in special memory (SM) bits. Your program can monitor and evaluate these bits. Refer to Appendix D for more information about the SM bits used for reporting program execution errors. The S7-200 does not change to STOP mode when it detects a non-fatal error. It only logs the event in SM memory and continues with the execution of your program. However, you can design your program to force the S7-200 to STOP mode when a non-fatal error is detected. The following sample program shows a network of a program that is monitoring two of the global non-fatal error bits and changes the S7-200 to STOP whenever either of these bits turns on.
Sample Program: Logic for Detecting a Non-Fatal Error Condition Network 1 LD SM5.0 O SM4.3 STOP //When an I/O error or a run-time error occurs, //go to STOP mode
Fatal Errors
Fatal errors cause the S7-200 to stop the execution of your program. Depending upon the severity of the fatal error, it can render the S7-200 incapable of performing any or all functions. The objective for handling fatal errors is to bring the S7-200 to a safe state from which the S7-200 can respond to interrogations about the existing error conditions. When a fatal error is detected, the S7-200 changes to STOP mode, turns on the SF/DIAG (Red) and the STOP LED, overrides the output table, and turns off the outputs. The S7-200 remains in this condition until the fatal error condition is corrected. Once you have made the changes to correct the fatal error condition, use one of the following methods to restart the S7-200:
-
Turn the power off and then on. Change the mode switch from RUN or TERM to STOP.
Select the PLC > Power-Up Reset menu command from STEP 7--Micro/WIN to restart the S7-200. This forces the S7-200 to restart and clear any fatal errors. Restarting the S7-200 clears the fatal error condition and performs power-up diagnostic testing to verify that the fatal error has been corrected. If another fatal error condition is found, the S7-200 again sets the fault LED, indicating that an error still exists. Otherwise, the S7-200 begins normal operation. Some error conditions can render the S7-200 incapable of communication. In these cases, you cannot view the error code from the S7-200. These types of errors indicate hardware failures that require the S7-200 to be repaired; they cannot be fixed by changes to the program or clearing the memory of the S7-200.
61
Assigning Addresses and Initial Values in the Data Block Editor

Data Block
The data block editor allows you to make initial data assignments to V memory (variable memory) only. You can make assignments to bytes, words, or double words of V memory. Comments are optional. The data block editor is a free-form text editor; that is, no specific fields are defined for particular types of information. After you finish typing a line and press the Enter key, the data block editor formats the line (aligns columns of addresses, data, comments; capitalizes V memory addresses) and redisplays it. Pressing CTRL--ENTER, after completing an assignment line, auto-increments the address to the next available address.
Figure 5-7
Data Block Editor
The data block editor assigns an appropriate amount of V memory based on your previous address allocations and the size (byte, word, or double word) of the data value(s). The first line of the data block must have an explicit address assignment. Subsequent lines can have explicit or implicit address assignments. An implicit address assignment is made by the editor when you type multiple data values after a single address assignment, or type a line that contains only data values.
The data block editor accepts uppercase or lowercase letters and allows commas, tabs, or spaces to serve as separators between addresses and data values.
Using the Symbol Table for Symbolic Addressing of Variables

Symbol Table
The symbol table allows you to define and edit the symbols that can be accessed by the symbolic name anywhere in your program. You can create multiple symbol tables. There is also a tab in the symbol table for system-defined symbols that you can use in your program. The symbol table is also referred to as the global variable table. You can identify the operands of the instructions in your program absolutely or symbolically. An absolute reference uses the memory area and bit or byte location to identify the address. A symbolic reference uses a combination of alphanumeric characters to identify the address. For SIMATIC programs, you make global symbol assignments by using the symbol table. For IEC programs, you make global symbol assignments by using the global variable table. To assign a symbol to an address: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Figure 5-8 Symbol Table
Click on the Symbol Table icon in the navigation bar to open the symbol table. Enter the symbol name (for example, Input1) in the Symbol Name column. The maximum symbol length is 23 characters. Enter the address (for example, I0.0) in the Address column. For an IEC global variable table, enter a value in the Data Type column or select one from the list box.
You can create multiple symbol tables; however, you cannot use the same string more than once as a global symbol assignment, neither within a single table nor among several tables.
62
Chapter 5
Using Local Variables

You can use the local variable table of the program editor to assign variables that are unique to an individual subroutine or interrupt routine. See Figure 5-9. Local variables can be used as parameters that are passed in to a subroutine and they increase the portability or reuse of a subroutine. subroutine
Figure 5-9
Local Variable Table
Using the Status Chart to Monitor Your Program

Status Chart
A status chart allows you to monitor or modify the values of the process variables as your S7-200 runs the control program. You can track the status of program inputs, outputs, or variables by displaying the current values. The status chart also allows you to force or change the values of the process variables. You can create multiple status charts in order to view elements from different portions of your program. To access the status chart, select the View > Component > Status Chart menu command or click the Status Chart icon in the navigation bar. When you create a status chart, you enter addresses of process variables for monitoring. You cannot view the status of constants, accumulators, or local variables. You can display a timer or counter value either as a bit or as a word. Displaying the value as a bit shows the status of the timer or counter bit; displaying the value as a word shows the timer or counter value.
Figure 5-10 Status Chart
To build a status chart and monitor the variables: 1. 2. 3. 4. Enter the address for each desired value in the Address field. Select the data type in the Format column. To view the status of the process variables in your S7-200, select the Debug > Chart Status menu command. To continuously sample the values, or to perform a single read of the status, click the button on the toolbar. The Status Chart also allows you to modify or force values for the different process variables.
You can insert additional rows in your Status Chart by selecting the Edit > Insert > Row menu command. Tip You can create multiple status charts to divide the variables into logical groups so that each group can be viewed in a shorter and separate status chart.
63
Creating an Instruction Library

STEP 7--Micro/WIN allows you either to create a custom library of instructions, or to use a library created by someone else. See Figure 5-11. To create a library of instructions, you create standard STEP 7--Micro/WIN subroutine and interrupt routines and group them together. You can hide the code in these routines to prevent accidental changes or to protect the technology (know-how) of the author. To create an instruction library, perform the following tasks: 1. Write the program as a standard STEP 7--Micro/WIN project and put the function to be included in the library into subroutines or interrupt routines. Ensure that all V memory locations in the subroutines or interrupt routines have been assigned a symbolic name. To minimize the amount of V memory that the library requires, use sequential V memory locations. Rename the subroutines or interrupt routines to the names that you want to appear in the instruction library.
2.
3.
Select the File > Create Library menu command to compile the new instruction library. For more information about creating libraries, refer to the online help for STEP 7--Micro/WIN. Use the following procedure to access an instruction Figure 5-11 Instruction Tree with Libraries in an instruction library: 1. 2. Add the Libraries directory to the instruction tree by selecting the File > Add Libraries menu command. Select the specific instruction and insert it into your program (as you would any standard instruction). If the library routine requires any V memory, STEP 7--Micro/WIN prompts you when the project is compiled to assign a block of memory. Use the Library Memory Allocation dialog box to assign blocks of memory.
4.
Features for Debugging Your Program

STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides the following features to help you debug your program:
-
Bookmarks in your program to make it easy to move back and forth between lines of a long program. Cross Reference table allow you to check the references used in your program. RUN-mode editing allows you to make small changes to your program with minimal disturbance to the process controlled by the program. You can also download the program block when you are editing in RUN mode.
For more information about debugging your program, refer to Chapter 8.

Conventions Used to Describe the Instructions

Figure 6-1 shows a typical description for an instruction and points to the different areas used to describe the instruction and its operation. The illustration of the instruction shows the format in LAD, FBD, and STL. The operand table lists the operands for the instruction and shows the valid data types, memory areas and sizes for each operand. EN/ENO operands and data types are not shown in the instruction operand table because the operands are the same for all LAD and FBD instructions.
-
For LAD: EN and ENO are power flow and are BOOL data types. For FBD: EN and ENO are I, Q, V, M, SM, S, T, C, L, or power flow and are BOOL data types.

Bit Logic Instructions

Contacts
Standard Contacts
The Normally Open contact instructions (LD, A, and O) and Normally Closed contact instructions (LDN, AN, ON) obtain the referenced value from the memory or from the process-image register. The standard contact instructions obtain the referenced value from the memory (or process-image register if the data type is I or Q). The Normally Open contact is closed (on) when the bit is equal to 1, and the Normally Closed contact is closed (on) when the bit is equal to 0. In FBD, inputs to both the And and Or boxes can be expanded to a maximum of 32 inputs. In STL, the Normally Open instructions Load, AND, or OR the bit value of the address bit to the top of the stack, and the Normally Closed instructions Load, AND, or OR the logical NOT of the bit value to the top of the stack.
Immediate Contacts
An immediate contact does not rely on the S7-200 scan cycle to update; it updates immediately. The Normally Open Immediate contact instructions (LDI, AI, and OI) and Normally Closed Immediate contact instructions (LDNI, ANI, and ONI) obtain the physical input value when the instruction is executed, but the process-image register is not updated. The Normally Open Immediate contact is closed (on) when the physical input point (bit) is 1, and the Normally Closed Immediate contact is closed (on) when the physical input point (bit) is 0. The Normally Open instructions immediately Load, AND, or OR the physical input value to the top of the stack, and the Normally Closed instructions immediately Load, AND, or OR the logical NOT of the value of the physical input point to the top of the stack.
NOT Instruction
The Not instruction (NOT) changes the state of power flow input (that is, it changes the value on the top of the stack from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0).

Chapter 6
Positive and Negative Transition Instructions

The Positive Transition contact instruction (EU) allows power to flow for one scan for each off-to-on transition. The Negative Transition contact instruction (ED) allows power to flow for one scan for each on-to-off transition. For the Positive Transition instruction, detection of a 0-to-1 transition in the value on the top of the stack sets the top of the stack value to 1; otherwise, it is set to 0. For a Negative Transition instruction, detection of a 1-to-0 transition in the value on the top of the stack sets the top of the stack value to 1; otherwise, it is set to 0. For run mode editing (when you edit your program in RUN mode), you must enter a parameter for the Positive Transition and Negative Transition instructions. Refer to Chapter 5 for more information about editing in RUN mode.

Tip Because the Positive Transition and Negative Transition instructions require an on-to-off or an off-to-on transition, you cannot detect an edge-up or edge-down transition on the first scan. During the first scan, the S7-200 sets the state of the bit specified by these instructions. On subsequent scans, these instructions can then detect transitions for the specified bit.

Output
The Output instruction (=) writes the new value for the output bit to the process-image register. When the Output instruction is executed, the S7-200 turns the output bit in the process-image register on or off. For LAD and FBD, the specified bit is set equal to power flow. For STL, the value on the top of the stack is copied to the specified bit.
Output Immediate
The Output Immediate instruction (=I) writes the new value to both the physical output and the corresponding process-image register location when the instruction is executed. When the Output Immediate instruction is executed, the physical output point (Bit) is immediately set equal to power flow. For STL, the instruction immediately copies the value on the top of the stack to the specified physical output bit (STL). The I indicates an immediate reference; the new value is written to both the physical output and the corresponding process-image register location when the instruction is executed. This differs from the non-immediate references, which write the new value to the process-image register only.
Set and Reset

The Set (S) and Reset (R) instructions set (turn on) or reset (turn off) the specified number of points (N), starting at the specified address (Bit). You can set or reset from 1 to 255 points. If the Reset instruction specifies either a timer bit (T) or counter bit (C), the instruction resets the timer or counter bit and clears the current value of the timer or counter.

Set Immediate and Reset Immediate

The Set Immediate and Reset Immediate instructions immediately set (turn on) or immediately reset (turn off) the number of points (N), starting at specified address (Bit). You can set or reset from 1 to 128 points immediately. The I indicates an immediate reference; when the instruction is executed, the new value is written to both the physical output point and the corresponding process-image register location. This differs from the non-immediate references, which write the new value to the process-image register only.

Logic Stack Instructions

AND Load
The AND Load instruction (ALD) combines the values in the first and second levels of the stack using a logical AND operation. The result is loaded in the top of stack. After the ALD is executed, the stack depth is decreased by one.
OR Load
The OR Load instruction (OLD) combines the values in the first and second levels of the stack, using a logical OR operation. The result is loaded in the top of the stack. After the OLD is executed, the stack depth is decreased by one.
Logic Push
The Logic Push instruction (LPS) duplicates the top value on the stack and pushes this value onto the stack. The bottom of the stack is pushed off and lost.
Logic Read
The Logic Read instruction (LRD) copies the second stack value to the top of stack. The stack is not pushed or popped, but the old top-of-stack value is destroyed by the copy.
Logic Pop
The Logic Pop instruction (LPP) pops one value off of the stack. The second stack value becomes the new top of stack value.
AND ENO
The AND ENO instruction (AENO) performs a logical AND of the ENO bit with the top of the stack to generate the same effect as the ENO bit of a box in LAD or FBD. The result of the AND operation is the new top of stack. ENO is a Boolean output for boxes in LAD and FBD. If a box has power flow at the EN input and is executed without error, the ENO output passes power flow to the next element. You can use the ENO as an enable bit that indicates the successful completion of an instruction. The ENO bit is used with the top of stack to affect power flow for execution of subsequent instructions. STL instructions do not have an EN input. The top of the stack must be a logic 1 for conditional instructions to be executed. In STL there is also no ENO output. However, the STL instructions that correspond to LAD and FBD instructions with ENO outputs set a special ENO bit. This bit is accessible with the AENO instruction.
Load Stack
The Load Stack instruction (LDS) duplicates the stack bit (N) on the stack and places this value on top of the stack. The bottom of the stack is pushed off and lost.

Set and Reset Dominant Bistable Instructions

The Set Dominant Bistable is a latch where the set dominates. If the set (S1) and reset (R) signals are both true, the output (OUT) is true. The Reset Dominant Bistable is a latch where the reset dominates. If the set (S) and reset (R1) signals are both true, the output (OUT) is false. The Bit parameter specifies the Boolean parameter that is set or reset. The optional output reflects the signal state of the Bit parameter. Table 6-7 shows the truth tables for the sample program.

Clock Instructions
Read Real-Time Clock and Set Real-Time Clock
The Read Real-Time Clock (TODR) instruction reads the current time and date from the hardware clock and loads it in an 8-byte Time buffer starting at address T. The Set Real-Time Clock (TODW) instruction writes the current time and date to the hardware clock, beginning at the 8-byte Time buffer address specified by T. You must code all date and time values in BCD format (for example, 16#97 for the year 1997). Figure 6-4 shows the format of the 8-Byte Time buffer (T).

Tip The S7-200 CPU does not perform a check to verify that the day of week is correct based upon the date. Invalid dates, such as February 30, could be accepted. You should ensure that the date you enter is correct. Do not use the TODR/TODW instruction in both the main program and in an interrupt routine. A TODR/TODW instruction in an interrupt routine that attempts to execute while another TODR/TODW instruction is in process cannot be executed. SM4.3 is set indicating that two simultaneous accesses to the clock were attempted (non-fatal error 0007). The time-of-day clock in the S7-200 uses only the least significant two digits for the year, so for the year 2000, the year is represented as 00. The S7-200 PLC does not use the year information in any way. However, user programs that use arithmetic or compares with the years value must take into account the two-digit representation and the change in century. Leap year is correctly handled through year 2096.
Read Real Time Clock Extended

The Read Real Time Clock Extended (TODRX) instruction reads the current time, date, and daylight savings configuration from the PLC and loads it in a 19-byte buffer beginning at the address specified by T.

Communications Instructions
Network Read and Network Write Instructions
The Network Read instruction (NETR) initiates a communications operation to gather data from a remote device through the specified port (PORT), as defined by the table (TBL). The Network Write instruction (NETW) initiates a communications operation to write data to a remote device through the specified port (PORT), as defined by the table (TBL).
Error conditions that set ENO = 0: H 0006 (indirect address) H If the function returns an error and sets the E bit of table status byte (see Figure 6-5)
The Network Read instruction can read up to 16 bytes of information from a remote station, and the Network Write instruction can write up to 16 bytes of information to a remote station. You can have any number of Network Read and Network Write instructions in the program, but only a maximum of eight Network Read and Network Write instructions can be activated at any one time. For example, you can have 4 Network Read and 4 Network Write instructions, or 2 Network Read and 6 Network Write instructions, active at the same time in a given S7-200. You can use the Network Read/Network Write Instruction Wizard to configure the counter. To start the Network Read/Network Write Instruction Wizard, select the Tools > Instruction Wizard menu command and then select Network Read/Network Write from the Instruction Wizard window.

Figure 6-6 shows an example to illustrate the utility of the Network Read and Network Write instructions. For this example, consider a production line where tubs of butter are being filled and sent to one of four boxing machines (case packers). The case packer packs eight tubs of butter into a single cardboard box. A diverter machine controls the flow of butter tubs to each of the case packers. Four S7-200s control the case packers, and an S7-200 with a TD 200 operator interface controls the diverter.

Transmit and Receive Instructions (Freeport)

The Transmit instruction (XMT) is used in Freeport mode to transmit data by means of the communications port(s). The Receive instruction (RCV) initiates or terminates the receive message function. You must specify a start and an end condition for the Receive box to operate. Messages received through the specified port (PORT) are stored in the data buffer (TBL). The first entry in the data buffer specifies the number of bytes received.

For more information about using Freeport mode, see the section Creating User-Defined Protocols with Freeport Mode on page 226 in Chapter 7.
Using Freeport Mode to Control the Serial Communications Port

You can select the Freeport mode to control the serial communications port of the S7-200 by means of the user program. When you select Freeport mode, your program controls the operation of the communications port through the use of the receive interrupts, the transmit interrupts, the Transmit instruction, and the Receive instruction. The communications protocol is entirely controlled by the ladder program while in Freeport mode. SMB30 (for port 0) and SMB130 (for port 1 if your S7-200 has two ports) are used to select the baud rate and parity. The Freeport mode is disabled and normal communications are re-established (for example, programming device access) when the S7-200 is in STOP mode. In the simplest case, you can send a message to a printer or a display using only the Transmit (XMT) instruction. Other examples include a connection to a bar code reader, a weighing scale, and a welder. In each case, you must write your program to support the protocol that is used by the device with which the S7-200 communicates while in Freeport mode. Freeport communications are possible only when the S7-200 is in RUN mode. Enable the Freeport mode by setting a value of 01 in the protocol select field of SMB30 (Port 0) or SMB130 (Port 1). While in Freeport mode, communications with the programming device are not possible. Tip Freeport mode can be controlled using special memory bit SM0.7, which reflects the current position of the operating mode switch. When SM0.7 is equal to 0, the switch is in TERM position; when SM0.7 = 1, the operating mode switch is in RUN position. If you enable Freeport mode only when the switch is in RUN position, you can use the programming device to monitor or control the S7-200 operation by changing the switch to any other position.

Changing PPI Communications to Freeport Mode

SMB30 and SMB130 configure the communications ports, 0 and 1 respectively, for Freeport operation and provide selection of baud rate, parity, and number of data bits. Figure 6-8 describes the Freeport control byte. One stop bit is generated for all configurations.

Transmitting Data
The Transmit instruction lets you send a buffer of one or more characters, up to a maximum of 255. Figure 6-9 shows the format of the Transmit buffer. If an interrupt routine is attached to the transmit complete event, the S7-200 generates an interrupt (interrupt event 9 for port 0 and interrupt event 26 for port 1) after the last character of the buffer is sent.

Format for the Transmit Buffer
You can make transmissions without using interrupts (for example, sending a message to a printer) by monitoring SM4.5 or SM4.6 to signal when transmission is complete. You can use the Transmit instruction to generate a BREAK condition by setting the number of characters to zero and then executing the Transmit instruction. This generates a BREAK condition on the line for 16-bit times at the current baud rate. Transmitting a BREAK is handled in the same manner as transmitting any other message, in that a Transmit interrupt is generated when the BREAK is complete and SM4.5 or SM4.6 signals the current status of the Transmit operation.
Receiving Data
The Receive instruction lets you receive a buffer of one or more characters, up to a maximum of 255. Figure 6-10 shows the format of the Receive buffer. If an interrupt routine is attached to the receive message complete event, the S7-200 generates an interrupt (interrupt event 23 for port 0 and interrupt event 24 for port 1) after the last character of the buffer is received.

You can receive messages without using interrupts by monitoring SMB86 (port 0) or SMB186 (port 1). This byte is non-zero when the Receive instruction is inactive or has been terminated. It is zero when a receive is in progress.
87
As shown in Table 6-13, the Receive instruction allows you to select the message start and message end conditions, using SMB86 through SMB94 for port 0 and SMB186 through SMB194 for port 1. Tip The receive message function is automatically terminated in case of an overrun or a parity error. You must define a start condition and an end condition (maximum character count) for the receive message function to operate.

Chapter 6
Start and End Conditions for the Receive Instruction

The Receive instruction uses the bits of the receive message control byte (SMB87 or SMB187) to define the message start and end conditions. Tip If there is traffic present on the communications port from other devices when the Receive instruction is executed, the receive message function could begin receiving a character in the middle of that character, resulting in a possible parity error and termination of the receive message function. If parity is not enabled the received message could contain incorrect characters. This situation can occur when the start condition is specified to be a specific start character or any character, as described in item 2. and item 6. below. The Receive instruction supports several message start conditions. Specifying a start condition involving a break or an idle line detection avoids this problem by forcing the receive message function to synchronize the start of the message with the start of a character before placing characters into the message buffer. The Receive instruction supports several start conditions: 1. Idle line detection: The idle line condition is defined as a quiet or idle time on the transmission line. A receive is started when the communications line has been quiet or idle for the number of milliseconds specified in SMW90 or SMW190. When the Receive instruction in your program is executed, the receive message function initiates a search for an idle line condition. If any characters are received before the idle line time expires, the receive message function ignores those characters and restarts the idle line timer with the time from SMW90 or SMW190. See Figure 6-11. After the idle line time expires, the receive message function stores all subsequent characters received in the message buffer. The idle line time should always be greater than the time to transmit one character (start bit, data bits, parity and stop bits) at the specified baud rate. A typical value for the idle line time is three character times at the specified baud rate. You use idle line detection as a start condition for binary protocols, protocols where there is not a particular start character, or when the protocol specifies a minimum time between messages. Setup: il = 1, sc = 0, bk = 0, SMW90/SMW190 = idle line timeout in milliseconds

Using Idle Time Detection to Start the Receive Instruction
2.
Start character detection: The start character is any character which is used as the first character of a message. A message is started when the start character specified in SMB88 or SMB188 is received. The receive message function stores the start character in the receive buffer as the first character of the message. The receive message function ignores any characters that are received before the start character. The start character and all characters received after the start character are stored in the message buffer. Typically, you use start character detection for ASCII protocols in which all messages start with the same character. Setup: il = 0, sc = 1, bk = 0, SMW90/SMW190 = dont care, SMB88/SMB188 = start character
89
3.
Idle line and start character: The Receive instruction can start a message with the combination of an idle line and a start character. When the Receive instruction is executed, the receive message function searches for an idle line condition. After finding the idle line condition, the receive message function looks for the specified start character. If any character but the start character is received, the receive message function restarts the search for an idle line condition. All characters received before the idle line condition has been satisfied and before the start character has been received are ignored. The start character is placed in the message buffer along with all subsequent characters. The idle line time should always be greater than the time to transmit one character (start bit, data bits, parity and stop bits) at the specified baud rate. A typical value for the idle line time is three character times at the specified baud rate. Typically, you use this type of start condition when there is a protocol that specifies a minimum time between messages, and the first character of the message is an address or something which specifies a particular device. This is most useful when implementing a protocol where there are multiple devices on the communications link. In this case the Receive instruction triggers an interrupt only when a message is received for the specific address or devices specified by the start character. Setup: il = 1, sc = 1, bk = 0, SMW90/SMW190 > 0, SMB88/SMB188 = start character
4.
Break detection: A break is indicated when the received data is held to a zero value for a time greater than a full character transmission time. A full character transmission time is defined as the total time of the start, data, parity and stop bits. If the Receive instruction is configured to start a message on receiving a break condition, any characters received after the break condition are placed in the message buffer. Any characters received before the break condition are ignored. Typically, you use break detection as a start condition only when a protocol requires it. Setup: il = 0, sc = 0, bk = 1, SMW90/SMW190 = dont care, SMB88/SMB188 = dont care
5.
Break and a start character: The Receive instruction can be configured to start receiving characters after receiving a break condition, and then a specific start character, in that sequence. After the break condition, the receive message function looks for the specified start character. If any character but the start character is received, the receive message function restarts the search for an break condition. All characters received before the break condition has been satisfied and before the start character has been received are ignored. The start character is placed in the message buffer along with all subsequent characters. Setup: il = 0, sc = 1, bk = 1, SMW90/SMW190 = dont care, SMB88/SMB188 = start character
6.
Any character: The Receive instruction can be configured to immediately start receiving any and all characters and placing them in the message buffer. This is a special case of the idle line detection. In this case the idle line time (SMW90 or SMW190) is set to zero. This forces the Receive instruction to begin receiving characters immediately upon execution. Setup: il = 1, sc = 0, bk = 0, SMW90/SMW190 = 0, SMB88/SMB188 = dont care Starting a message on any character allows the message timer to be used to time out the receiving of a message. This is useful in cases where Freeport is used to implement the master or host portion of a protocol and there is a need to time out if no response is received from a slave device within a specified amount of time. The message timer starts when the Receive instruction executes because the idle line time was set to zero. The message timer times out and terminates the receive message function if no other end condition is satisfied. Setup: il = 1, sc = 0, bk = 0, SMW90/SMW190 = 0, SMB88/SMB188 = dont care c/m = 1, tmr = 1, SMW92 = message timeout in milliseconds
90
Chapter 6
The Receive instruction supports several ways to terminate a message. The message can be terminated on one or a combination of the following: 1. End character detection: The end character is any character which is used to denote the end of the message. After finding the start condition, the Receive instruction checks each character received to see if it matches the end character. When the end character is received, it is placed in the message buffer and the receive is terminated. Typically, you use end character detection with ASCII protocols where every message ends with a specific character. You can use end character detection in combination with the intercharacter timer, the message timer or the maximum character count to terminate a message. Setup: 2. ec = 1, SMB89/SMB189 = end character Intercharacter timer: The intercharacter time is the time measured from the end of one character (the stop bit) to the end of the next character (the stop bit). If the time between characters (including the second character) exceeds the number of milliseconds specified in SMW92 or SMW192, the receive message function is terminated. The intercharacter timer is restarted on each character received. See Figure 6-12. You can use the intercharacter timer to terminate a message for protocols which do not have a specific end-of-message character. This timer must be set to a value greater than one character time at the selected baud rate since this timer always includes the time to receive one entire character (start bit, data bits, parity and stop bits). You can use the intercharacter timer in combination with the end character detection and the maximum character count to terminate a message. Setup: c/m = 0, tmr = 1, SMW92/SMW192 = timeout in milliseconds

Message timer: The message timer terminates a message at a specified time after the start of the message. The message timer starts as soon as the start condition(s) for the receive message function have been met. The message timer expires when the number of milliseconds specified in SMW92 or SMW192 have passed. See Figure 6-13. Typically, you use a message timer when the communications devices cannot guarantee that there will not be time gaps between characters or when operating over modems. For modems, you can use a message timer to specify a maximum time allowed to receive the message after the message has started. A typical value for a message timer would be about 1.5 times the time required to receive the longest possible message at the selected baud rate. You can use the message timer in combination with the end character detection and the maximum character count to terminate a message. Setup: c/m = 1, tmr = 1, SMW92/SMW192 = timeout in milliseconds

Maximum character count: The Receive instruction must be told the maximum number of characters to receive (SMB94 or SMB194). When this value is met or exceeded, the receive message function is terminated. The Receive instruction requires that the user specify a maximum character count even if this is not specifically used as a terminating condition. This is because the Receive instruction needs to know the maximum size of the receive message so that user data placed after the message buffer is not overwritten. The maximum character count can be used to terminate messages for protocols where the message length is known and always the same. The maximum character count is always used in combination with the end character detection, intercharacter timer, or message timer.
5.
Parity errors: The Receive instruction is automatically terminated when the hardware signals a parity error on a received character. Parity errors are only possible if parity is enabled in SMB30 or SMB130. There is no way to disable this function. User termination: The user program can terminate a receive message function by executing another Receive instruction with the enable bit (EN) in SMB87 or SMB187 set to zero. This immediately terminates the receive message function.
6.
Using Character Interrupt Control to Receive Data

To allow complete flexibility in protocol support, you can also receive data using character interrupt control. Each character received generates an interrupt. The received character is placed in SMB2, and the parity status (if enabled) is placed in SM3.0 just prior to execution of the interrupt routine attached to the receive character event. SMB2 is the Freeport receive character buffer. Each character received while in Freeport mode is placed in this location for easy access from the user program. SMB3 is used for Freeport mode and contains a parity error bit that is turned on when a parity error is detected on a received character. All other bits of the byte are reserved. Use the parity bit either to discard the message or to generate a negative acknowledgement to the message. When the character interrupt is used at high baud rates (38.4 kbaud to 115.2 kbaud), the time between interrupts is very short. For example, the character interrupt for 38.4 kbaud is 260 microseconds, for 57.6 kbaud is 173 microseconds, and for 115.2 kbaud is 86 microseconds. Ensure that you keep the interrupt routines very short to avoid missing characters, or else use the Receive instruction. Tip SMB2 and SMB3 are shared between Port 0 and Port 1. When the reception of a character on Port 0 results in the execution of the interrupt routine attached to that event (interrupt event 8), SMB2 contains the character received on Port 0, and SMB3 contains the parity status of that character. When the reception of a character on Port 1 results in the execution of the interrupt routine attached to that event (interrupt event 25), SMB2 contains the character received on Port 1 and SMB3 contains the parity status of that character.

Get Port Address and Set Port Address Instructions

The Get Port Address instruction (GPA) reads the station address of the S7-200 CPU port specified in PORT and places the value in the address specified in ADDR. The Set Port Address instruction (SPA) sets the port station address (PORT) to the value specified in ADDR. The new address is not saved permanently. After a power cycle, the affected port returns to the last address (the one that was downloaded with the system block).

Compare Instructions
Comparing Numerical Values
The compare instructions are used to compare two values: IN1 = IN2 IN1 > IN2 IN1 >= IN2 IN1 < IN2 IN1 <= IN2 IN1 <> IN2
Compare Byte operations are unsigned. Compare Integer operations are signed. Compare Double Word operations are signed. Compare Real operations are signed. For LAD and FBD: When the comparison is true, the Compare instruction turns on the contact (LAD) or output (FBD). For STL: When the comparison is true, the Compare instruction Loads, ANDs, or ORs a 1 with the value on the top of the stack (STL). When you use the IEC compare instructions, you can use various data types for the inputs. However, both input values must be of the same data type.
Notice The following conditions are fatal errors and cause your S7-200 to immediately stop the execution of your program: H H Illegal indirect address is encountered (any Compare instruction) Illegal real number (for example, NAN) is encountered (Compare Real instruction)
To prevent these conditions from occurring, ensure that you properly initialize pointers and values that contain real numbers before executing compare instructions that use these values. Compare instructions are executed regardless of the state of power flow.

Compare String
The Compare String instruction compares two strings of ASCII characters: IN1 = IN2 IN1 <> IN2
When the comparison is true, the Compare instruction turns the contact (LAD) or output (FBD) on, or the compare instruction Loads, ANDs or ORs a 1 with the value on the top of the stack (STL). Notice The following conditions are fatal errors and cause your S7-200 to immediately stop the execution of your program: H H H Illegal indirect address is encountered (any compare instruction) A string with a length greater than 254 characters is encountered (Compare String instruction) A string whose starting address and length are such that it will not fit in the specified memory area (Compare String instruction)
To prevent these conditions from occurring, ensure that you properly initialize pointers and memory locations that are intended to hold ASCII strings prior to executing compare instructions that use these values. Ensure that the buffer reserved for an ASCII string can reside completely within the specified memory area. Compare instructions are executed regardless of the state of power flow.

Operation of the Real to ASCII Instruction

The Real to ASCII instruction (RTA) converts a real-number value IN to ASCII characters. The format FMT specifies the conversion precision to the right of the decimal, whether the decimal point is shown as a comma or a period, and the output buffer size. The resulting conversion is placed in an output buffer beginning with OUT.
Error conditions that set ENO = 0 H 0006 (indirect address) H nnn > 5 H ssss < 3 H ssss< number of characters in OUT
The number (or length) of the resulting ASCII characters is the size of the output buffer and can be specified to a size ranging from 3 to 15 bytes or characters. The real-number format used by the S7-200 supports a maximum of 7 significant digits. Attempting to display more than 7 significant digits produces a rounding error. Figure 6-17 describes the format operand (FMT) for the RTA instruction. The size of the output buffer is specified by the ssss field. A size of 0, 1, or 2 bytes is not valid. The number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the output buffer is specified by the nnn field. The valid range of the nnn field is 0 to 5. Specifying 0 digits to the right of the decimal point causes the value to be displayed without a decimal point. The output buffer is filled with ASCII spaces for values of nnn bigger than 5 or when the specified output buffer is too small to store the converted value. The c bit specifies the use of either a comma (c=1) or a decimal point (c=0) as the separator between the whole number and the fraction. Figure 6-17 also shows examples of values that are formatted using a decimal point (c=0) with one digit to the right of the decimal point (nnn=001) and a buffer size of six bytes (ssss=0110). The output buffer is formatted according to the following rules:
-
Positive values are written to the output buffer without a sign. Negative values are written to the output buffer with a leading minus sign (--). Leading zeros to the left of the decimal point (except the digit adjacent to the decimal point) are suppressed. Values to the right of the decimal point are rounded to fit in the specified number of digits to the right of the decimal point. The size of the output buffer must be a minimum of three bytes more than the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. Values are right-justified in the output buffer.

String Conversion Instructions

Converting Numerical Values to String
The Integer to String (ITS), Double Integer to String (DTS), and Real to String (RTS) instructions convert integers, double integers, or real number values (IN) to an ASCII string (OUT).
Operation of the Integer to String

The Integer to String instruction (ITS) converts an integer word IN to an ASCII string with a length of 8 characters. The format (FMT) specifies the conversion precision to the right of the decimal, and whether the decimal point is to be shown as a comma or a period. The resulting string is written to 9 consecutive bytes starting at OUT. See the section, format for strings in Chapter 4 for more information.

Operation of the Double Integer to String

The Double Integer to String instruction (DTS) converts a double integer IN to an ASCII string with a length of 12 characters. The format (FMT) specifies the conversion precision to the right of the decimal, and whether the decimal point is to be shown as a comma or a period. The resulting string is written to 13 consecutive bytes starting at OUT. For more information, see the section that describes the format for strings in Chapter 4.

Operation of the Real to String

The Real to String instruction (RTS) converts a real value IN to an ASCII string. The format (FMT) specifies the conversion precision to the right of the decimal, whether the decimal point is to be shown as a comma or a period and the length of the output string. The resulting conversion is placed in a string beginning with OUT. The length of the resulting string is specified in the format and can be 3 to 15 characters. For more information, see the section that describes the format for strings in Chapter 4.
Error conditions that set ENO = 0 H 0006 (indirect address) H 0091 (operand out of range) H Illegal format: nnn > 5 ssss < 3 ssss < number of characters required
The real-number format used by the S7-200 supports a maximum of 7 significant digits. Attempting to display more than the 7 significant digits produces a rounding error. Figure 6-20 describes the format operand for the Real to String instruction. The length of the output string is specified by the ssss field. A size of 0, 1, or 2 bytes is not valid. The number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the output buffer is specified by the nnn field. The valid range of the nnn field is 0 to 5. Specifying 0 digits to the right of the decimal point causes the value to be displayed without a decimal point. The output string is filled with ASCII space characters when nnn is greater than 5 or when the specified length of the output string is too small to store the converted value. The c bit specifies the use of either a comma (c=1) or a decimal point (c=0) as the separator between the whole number and the fraction. Figure 6-20 also shows examples of values that are formatted using a decimal point (c= 0) with one digit to the right of the decimal point (nnn = 001) and a output string length of 6 characters (ssss = 0110). The value at OUT is the length of the string. The output string is formatted according to the following rules:

Converting Substrings to Numerical Values

The Substring to Integer (STI), Substring to Double Integer (STD), and Substring to Real (STR) instructions convert a string value IN, starting at the offset INDX, to an integer, double integer or real number value OUT .
Error conditions that set ENO = 0 H 0006 (indirect address) H 0091 (operand out of range) H 009B (index = 0) H SM1.1 (overflow)
The Substring to Integer and Substring to Double Integer convert strings with the following form: [spaces] [+ or --] [digits 0 -- 9] The Substring to Real instruction converts strings with the following form: [spaces] [+ or --] [digits 0 -- 9] [. or ,] [digits 0 -- 9] The INDX value is normally set to 1, which starts the conversion with the first character of the string. The INDX value can be set to other values to start the conversion at different points within the string. This can be used when the input string contains text that is not part of the number to be converted. For example, if the input string is Temperature: 77.8, you set INDX to a value of 13 to skip over the word Temperature: at the start of the string. The Substring to Real instruction does not convert strings using scientific notation or exponential forms of real numbers. The instruction does not produce an overflow error (SM1.1) but converts the string to a real number up to the exponential and then terminates the conversion. For example, the string 1.234E6 converts without errors to a real value of 1.234. The conversion is terminated when the end of the string is reached or when the first invalid character is found. An invalid character is any character which is not a digit (0 -- 9). The overflow error (SM1.1) is set whenever the conversion produces an integer value that is too large for the output value. For example, the Substring to Integer instruction sets the overflow error if the input string produces a value greater than 32767 or less than --32768. The overflow error (SM1.1) is also set if no conversion is possible when the input string does not contain a valid value. For example, if the input string contains A123, the conversion instruction sets SM1.1 (overflow) and the output value remains unchanged.

Counter Instructions
SIMATIC Counter Instructions
Count Up Counter
The Count Up instruction (CTU) counts up from the current value each time the count up (CU) input makes the transition from off to on. When the current value Cxx is greater than or equal to the preset value PV, the counter bit Cxx turns on. The counter is reset when the Reset (R) input turns on, or when the Reset instruction is executed. The counter stops counting when it reaches the maximum value (32,767).
STL operation : H Reset input: Top of stack H Count Up input: Value loaded in the second stack location
Count Down Counter

The Count Down instruction (CTD) counts down from the current value of that counter each time the count down (CD) input makes the transition from off to on. When the current value Cxx is equal to 0, the counter bit Cxx turns on. The counter resets the counter bit Cxx and loads the current value with the preset value PV when the load input LD turns on. The counter stops upon reaching zero, and the counter bit Cxx turns on.
STL operation: H Load input: Top of stack H Count Down input: Value loaded in the second stack location.
113
Count Up/Down Counter

The Count Up/Down instruction (CTUD) counts up each time the count up (CU) input makes the transition from off to on, and counts down each time the count down (CD) input makes the transition from off to on. The current value Cxx of the counter maintains the current count. The preset value PV is compared to the current value each time the counter instruction is executed. Upon reaching maximum value (32,767), the next rising edge at the count up input causes the current count to wrap around to the minimum value (--32,768). On reaching the minimum value (--32,768), the next rising edge at the count down input causes the current count to wrap around to the maximum value (32,767). When the current value Cxx is greater than or equal to the preset value PV, the counter bit Cxx turns on. Otherwise, the counter bit turns off. The counter is reset when the Reset (R) input turns on, or when the Reset instruction is executed.

Inputs/Outputs
Tip Since there is one current value for each counter, do not assign the same number to more than one counter. (Up Counters, Up/Down Counters, and Down counters with the same number access the same current value.) When you reset a counter using the Reset instruction, the counter bit is reset and the counter current value is set to zero. Use the counter number to reference both the current value and the counter bit of that counter.

IEC Counter Instructions

Up Counter
The Count Up instruction (CTU) counts up from the current value to the preset value (PV) on the rising edges of the Count Up (CU) input. When the current value (CV) is greater than or equal to the preset value, the counter output bit (Q) turns on. The counter resets when the reset input (R) is enabled. The Up Counter stops counting when it reaches the preset value.
Down Counter
The Count Down instruction (CTD) counts down from the preset value (PV) on the rising edges of the Count Down (CD) input. When the current value (CV) is equal to zero, the counter output bit (Q) turns on. The counter resets and loads the current value with the preset value when the load input (LD) is enabled. The Down Counter stops counting when it reaches zero.
Up/Down Counter
The Count Up/Down instruction (CTUD) counts up or down from the current value (CV) on the rising edges of the Count Up (CU) or Count Down (CD) input. When the current value is equal to preset, the up output (QU) turns on. When the current value is equal to zero, the down output (QD) turns on. The counter loads the current value with the preset value (PV) when the load (LD) input is enabled. Similarly, the counter resets and loads the current value with 0 when the reset (R) is enabled. The counter stops counting when it reaches preset or 0.

High-Speed Counter Instructions

High-Speed Counter Definition
The High-Speed Counter Definition instruction (HDEF) selects the operating mode of a specific high-speed counter (HSCx). The mode selection defines the clock, direction, start, and reset functions of the high-speed counter. You use one High-Speed Counter Definition instruction for each high-speed counter.
Error conditions that set ENO = 0 H 0003 (input point conflict) H 0004 (illegal instruction in interrupt) H 000A (HSC redefinition)
High-Speed Counter
The High-Speed Counter (HSC) instruction configures and controls the high-speed counter, based on the state of the HSC special memory bits. The parameter N specifies the high-speed counter number. The high-speed counters can be configured for up to twelve different modes of operation. See Table 6-26. Each counter has dedicated inputs for clocks, direction control, reset, and start, where these functions are supported. For the two-phase counters, both clocks can run at their maximum rates. In quadrature modes, you can select one times (1x) or four times (4x) the maximum counting rates. All counters run at maximum rates without interfering with one another.

Refer to the Programming Tips on the documentation CD for programs that use high-speed counters. See Tip 4 and Tip 29.
Programming Tips
High-speed counters count high-speed events that cannot be controlled at S7-200 scan rates. The maximum counting frequency of a high-speed counter depends upon your S7-200 CPU model. Refer to Appendix A for more information. Tip CPU 221 and CPU 222 support four high-speed counters: HSC0, HSC3, HSC4, and HSC5. These CPUs do not support HSC1 and HSC2. CPU 224, CPU 224XP, and CPU 226 support six high-speed counters: HSC0 to HSC5.
118
Chapter 6
Typically, a high-speed counter is used as the drive for a drum timer, where a shaft rotating at a constant speed is fitted with an incremental shaft encoder. The shaft encoder provides a specified number of counts per revolution and a reset pulse that occurs once per revolution. The clock(s) and the reset pulse from the shaft encoder provide the inputs to the high-speed counter. The high-speed counter is loaded with the first of several presets, and the desired outputs are activated for the time period where the current count is less than the current preset. The counter is set up to provide an interrupt when the current count is equal to preset and also when reset occurs. As each current-count-value-equals-preset-value interrupt event occurs, a new preset is loaded and the next state for the outputs is set. When the reset interrupt event occurs, the first preset and the first output states are set, and the cycle is repeated. Since the interrupts occur at a much lower rate than the counting rates of the high-speed counters, precise control of high-speed operations can be implemented with relatively minor impact to the overall PLC scan cycle. The method of interrupt attachment allows each load of a new preset to be performed in a separate interrupt routine for easy state control. (Alternatively, all interrupt events can be processed in a single interrupt routine.)
Understanding the Different High-Speed Counters

All counters function the same way for the same counter mode of operation. There are four basic types of counters: single-phase counter with internal direction control, single-phase counter with external direction control, two-phase counter with 2 clock inputs, and A/B phase quadrature counter. Note that every mode is not supported by every counter. You can use each type: without reset or start inputs, with reset and without start, or with both start and reset inputs.
-
When you activate the reset input, it clears the current value and holds it clear until you deactivate reset. When you activate the start input, it allows the counter to count. While start is deactivated, the current value of the counter is held constant and clocking events are ignored. If reset is activated while start is inactive, the reset is ignored and the current value is not changed. If the start input becomes active while the reset input is active, the current value is cleared.
Before you use a high-speed counter, you use the HDEF instruction (High-Speed Counter Definition) to select a counter mode. Use the first scan memory bit, SM0.1 (this bit is turned on for the first scan and is then turned off), to call a subroutine that contains the HDEF instruction.
Programming a High-Speed Counter

Instruction Wizard
You can use the HSC Instruction Wizard to configure the counter. The wizard uses the following information: type and mode of counter, counter preset value, counter current value, and initial counting direction. To start the HSC Instruction Wizard, select the Tools > Instruction Wizard menu command and then select HSC from the Instruction Wizard window. To program a high-speed counter, you must perform the following basic tasks:
-
Define the counter and mode. Set the control byte. Set the current value (starting value). Set the preset value (target value). Assign and enable the interrupt routine. Activate the high-speed counter.
119
Defining Counter Modes and Inputs

Use the High-Speed Counter Definition instruction to define the counter modes and inputs. Table 6-26 shows the inputs used for the clock, direction control, reset, and start functions associated with the high-speed counters. The same input cannot be used for two different functions, but any input not being used by the present mode of its high-speed counter can be used for another purpose. For example, if HSC0 is being used in mode 1, which uses I0.0 and I0.2, I0.1 can be used for edge interrupts or for HSC3. Tip Note that all modes of HSC0 (except mode 12) always use I0.0 and all modes of HSC4 always use I0.3, so these points are never available for other uses when these counters are in use.

When you use counting modes 6, 7, or 8, and rising edges on both the up clock and down clock inputs occur within 0.3 microseconds of each other, the high-speed counter could see these events as happening simultaneously. If this happens, the current value is unchanged and no change in counting direction is indicated. As long as the separation between rising edges of the up and down clock inputs is greater than this time period, the high-speed counter captures each event separately. In either case, no error is generated and the counter maintains the correct count value.

Four counters have three control bits that are used to configure the active state of the reset and start inputs and to select 1x or 4x counting modes (quadrature counters only). These bits are located in the control byte for the respective counter and are only used when the HDEF instruction is executed. These bits are defined in Table 6-27. Tip You must set these three control bits to the desired state before the HDEF instruction is executed. Otherwise, the counter takes on the default configuration for the counter mode selected. Once the HDEF instruction has been executed, you cannot change the counter setup unless you first place the S7-200 in STOP mode.

Setting the Control Byte

After you define the counter and the counter mode, you can program the dynamic parameters of the counter. Each high-speed counter has a control byte that allows the following actions:
-
Enabling or disabling the counter Controlling the direction (modes 0, 1, and 2 only), or the initial counting direction for all other modes Loading the current value Loading the preset value
Examination of the control byte and associated current and preset values is invoked by the execution of the HSC instruction. Table 6-28 describes each of these control bits.

Reading the Current Value

The current value of each high-speed counter can only be read using the data type HC (High-Speed-Counter Current) followed by the counter number (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) as shown in Table 6-29. Use the HC data type whenever you wish to read the current count, either in a status chart or in the user program. The HC data type is read--only; you cannot write a new current count to the high speed counter using the HC data type.

LD EU MOVD
Setting Current Values and Preset Values

Each high-speed counter has a 32--bit current value (CV) and a 32--bit preset value (PV) stored internally. The current value is the actual count value of the counter, while the preset value is a comparison value optionally used to trigger an interrupt when the current value reaches the preset value. You can read the current value using the HC data type as described in the previous section. You cannot read the preset value directly. To load a new current or preset value into the high-speed counter, you must set up the control byte and the special memory double-word(s) that hold the desired new current and/or new preset values, and also execute the HSC instruction to cause the new values to the transferred to the high-speed counter. Table 6-30 lists the special memory double words used to hold the desired new current and preset values.
125
Use the following steps to write a new current value and/or new preset value to the high-speed counter (steps 1 and 2 can be done in either order): 1. 2. Load the value to be written into the appropriate SM new--current value and/or new preset value (Table 6-30). Loading these new values does not affect the high-speed counter yet. Set or clear the appropriate bits in the appropriate control byte (Table 6-28) to indicate whether to update the current and/or preset values (bit x.5 for preset and x.6 for current). Manipulating these bits does not affect the high-speed counter yet. Execute the HSC instruction referencing the appropriate high-speed counter number. Executing this instruction causes the control byte to be examined. If the control byte specifies an update for the current, the preset, or both, then the appropriate values are copied from the SM new current value and/or new preset value locations into the high--speed counter internal registers.

Assigning Interrupts
All counter modes support an interrupt event when the current value of the HSC is equal to the loaded preset value. Counter modes that use an external reset input support an interrupt on activation of the external reset. All counter modes except modes 0, 1, and 2 support an interrupt on a change in counting direction. Each of these interrupt conditions can be enabled or disabled separately. For a complete discussion on the use of interrupts, see the section on Communications and Interrupt instructions. Notice A fatal error can occur if you attempt either to load a new current value or to disable and then re-enable the high-speed counter from within the external reset interrupt routine.
Status Byte
A status byte for each high-speed counter provides status memory bits that indicate the current counting direction and whether the current value is greater or equal to the preset value. Table 6-31 defines these status bits for each high-speed counter. 126
Chapter 6
Tip Status bits are valid only while the high-speed counter interrupt routine is being executed. The purpose of monitoring the state of the high-speed counter is to enable interrupts for the events that are of consequence to the operation being performed.

Sample Initialization Sequences for the High-Speed Counters

HSC1 is used as the model counter in the following descriptions of the initialization and operation sequences. The initialization descriptions assume that the S7-200 has just been placed in RUN mode, and for that reason, the first scan memory bit is true. If this is not the case, remember that the HDEF instruction can be executed only one time for each high-speed counter after entering RUN mode. Executing HDEF for a high-speed counter a second time generates a run-time error and does not change the counter setup from the way it was set up on the first execution of HDEF for that counter. Tip Although the following sequences show how to change direction, current value, and preset value individually, you can change all or any combination of them in the same sequence by setting the value of SMB47 appropriately and then executing the HSC instruction.
Initialization Modes 0, 1, or 2
The following steps describe how to initialize HSC1 for Single Phase Up/Down Counter with Internal Direction (Modes 0, 1, or 2). 1. Use the first scan memory bit to call a subroutine in which the initialization operation is performed. Since you use a subroutine call, subsequent scans do not make the call to the subroutine, which reduces scan time execution and provides a more structured program. In the initialization subroutine, load SMB47 according to the desired control operation. For example: SMB47 = 16#F8 Produces the following results: Enables the counter Writes a new current value Writes a new preset value Sets the direction to count up Sets the start and reset inputs to be active high

Execute the HDEF instruction with the HSC input set to 1 and the MODE input set to one of the following: 0 for no external reset or start, 1 for external reset and no start, or 2 for both external reset and start. Load SMD48 (double-word-sized value) with the desired current value (load with 0 to clear it). Load SMD52 (double-word-sized value) with the desired preset value. In order to capture the current value equal to preset event, program an interrupt by attaching the CV = PV interrupt event (event 13) to an interrupt routine.

In order to capture an external reset event, program an interrupt by attaching the external reset interrupt event (event 15) to an interrupt routine.

Pulse Output Instruction

The Pulse Output instruction (PLS) is used to control the Pulse Train Output (PTO) and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) functions available on the high-speed outputs (Q0.0 and Q0.1).
Position Control
The improved Position Control Wizard creates instructions customized to your application that simplify your programming tasks and take advantage of the extra features of the S7-200 CPUs. Refer to Chapter 9 for more information about the Position Control Wizard. You can continue to use the old PLS instruction to create your own motion application, but the linear ramp on the PTO is only supported by instructions created by the improved Position Control Wizard. PTO provides a square wave (50% duty cycle) output with user control of the cycle time and the number of pulses. PWM provides a continuous, variable duty cycle output with user control of the cycle time and the pulse width. The S7-200 has two PTO/PWM generators that create either a high-speed pulse train or a pulse width modulated waveform. One generator is assigned to digital output point Q0.0, and the other generator is assigned to digital output point Q0.1. A designated special memory (SM) location stores the following data for each generator: a control byte (8-bit value), a pulse count value (an unsigned 32-bit value), and a cycle time and pulse width value (an unsigned 16-bit value). The PTO/PWM generators and the process-image register share the use of Q0.0 and Q0.1. When a PTO or PWM function is active on Q0.0 or Q0.1, the PTO/PWM generator has control of the output, and normal use of the output point is inhibited. The output waveform is not affected by the state of the process-image register, the forced value of the point, or the execution of immediate output instructions. When the PTO/PWM generator is inactive, control of the output reverts to the process-image register. The process-image register determines the initial and final state of the output waveform, causing the waveform to start and end at a high or low level.
Table 6-32 Valid Operands for Pulse Output Instruction Data Types WORD Operands Constant: 0 (= Q0.0) or 1 (= Q0.1)
Inputs/Outputs Q0.X
Tip Before enabling PTO or PWM operation, set the value of the process-image register for Q0.0 and Q0.1 to 0. Default values for all control bits, cycle time, pulse width, and pulse count values are 0. The PTO/PWM outputs must have a minimum load of at least 10% of rated load to provide crisp transitions from off to on, and from on to off. Refer to the Programming Tips on the documentation CD for programs that use the PLS instruction for PTO/PWM operation. See Tip 7, Tip 22, Tip 23, Tip 30, and Tip 50.
Programming Tips
133
Pulse Train Operation (PTO)

PTO provides a square wave (50% duty cycle) output for a specified number of pulses and a specified cycle time. (See Figure 6-28.) PTO can produce either a single train of pulses or multiple trains of pulses (using a pulse profile). You specify the number of pulses and the cycle time (in either microsecond or millisecond increments):
-
Number of pulses: Cycle time:
1 to 4,294,967,295 10 s to 65,535 s or 2 ms to 65,535 ms.

Cycle Time
Specifying an odd number of microseconds or milliseconds for the cycle time (such as 75 ms), causes some distortion in the duty cycle. cycle

50% On
Figure 6-28 Pulse Train Output (PTO)
See Table 6-33 for pulse count and cycle time limitations.
Table 6-33 Pulse Count and Cycle Time in the PTO function Reaction Cycle time defaults to 2 time units. Pulse count defaults to 1 pulse.
Pulse Count/Cycle TIme Cycle time < 2 time units Pulse count = 0
The PTO function allows the chaining or pipelining of pulse trains. When the active pulse train is complete, the output of a new pulse train begins immediately. This allows continuity between subsequent output pulse trains.
Using the Position Control Wizard

The Position Control Wizard automatically handles single and multiple segment pipelining of PTO pulses, pulse width modulation, SM Location configuration, and creating a profile table. The information is here for your reference. It is recommended that you use the Position Control Wizard. For more information about the Position Control Wizard, see Chapter 9.
Single-Segment Pipelining of PTO Pulses

In single-segment pipelining, you are responsible for updating the SM locations for the next pulse train. After the initial PTO segment has been started, you must modify immediately the SM locations as required for the second waveform and execute the PLS instruction again. The attributes of the second pulse train are held in a pipeline until the first pulse train is completed. Only one entry at a time can be stored in the pipeline. When the first pulse train completes, the output of the second waveform begins, and the pipeline is made available for a new pulse train specification. You can then repeat this process to set up the characteristics of the next pulse train. Smooth transitions between pulse trains occur unless there is a change in the time base or the active pulse train completes before a new pulse train setup is captured by the execution of the PLS instruction.
134
Chapter 6
Multiple-Segment Pipelining of PTO Pulses

In multiple-segment pipelining, the S7-200 automatically reads the characteristics of each pulse train segment from a profile table located in V memory. The SM locations used in this mode are the control byte, the status byte, and the starting V memory offset of the profile table (SMW168 or SMW178). The time base can be either microseconds or milliseconds, but the selection applies to all cycle time values in the profile table, and cannot be changed while the profile is running. Execution on the PLS instruction starts multiple segment operation. Each segment entry is 8 bytes in length, and is composed of a 16-bit cycle time value, a 16-bit cycle time delta value, and a 32-bit pulse count value. Table 6-34 shows the format of the profile table. You can increase or decrease the cycle time automatically by programming a specified amount for each pulse. A positive value in the cycle time delta field increases cycle time, a negative value in the cycle time delta field decreases cycle time, and 0 results in an unchanging cycle time. While the PTO profile is operating, the number of the currently active segment is available in SMB166 (or SMB176).
Table 6-34 Byte Offset 0 1 3 5 9 11 13 (Continues) 1 #3 #2 #1 Profile Table Format for Multiple-Segment PTO Operation Segment Description of Table Entries Number of segments: 1 to 2551 Initial cycle time (2 to 65,535 units of the time base) Cycle time delta per pulse (signed value) (-32,768 to 32,767 units of the time base) Pulse count (1 to 4,294,967,295) Initial cycle time (2 to 65,535 units of the time base) Cycle time delta per pulse (signed value) (-32,768 to 32,767 units of the time base) Pulse count (1 to 4,294,967,295) (Continues)
Entering a value of 0 for the number of segments generates a non-fatal error. No PTO output is generated.
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)

PWM provides a fixed cycle time output with a variable duty cycle. (See Figure 6-29.) You can specify the cycle time and the pulse width in either microsecond or millisecond increments:
Cycle Time Pulse Width Time Pulse Width Time
Cycle time: y Pulse width time:
10 to 65,535 or s s 2 ms to 65,535 ms t 65 535 0 s to 65,535 s or 0 ms to 65,535 ms
Figure 6-29 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
As shown in Table 6-35, setting the pulse width equal to the cycle time (which makes the duty cycle 100 percent) turns the output on continuously. Setting the pulse width to 0 (which makes the duty cycle 0 percent) turns the output off.
Table 6-35 Pulse Width Time and Cycle Time and Reactions in the PWM Function Reaction The duty cycle is 100%: the output is turned on continuously. The duty cycle is 0%: the output is turned off. The cycle time defaults to two time units.
Pulse Width Time/ Cycle Time Pulse width time >= Cycle time value Pulse width time = 0 Cycle time < 2 time units
135
There are two different ways to change the characteristics of a PWM waveform:
-
Synchronous Update: If no time base changes are required, you can use a synchronous update. With a synchronous update, the change in the waveform characteristics occurs on a cycle boundary, providing a smooth transition. Asynchronous Update: Typically with PWM operation, the pulse width is varied while the cycle time remains constant so time base changes are not required. However, if a change in the time base of the PTO/PWM generator is required, an asynchronous update is used. An asynchronous update causes the PTO/PWM generator to be disabled momentarily, asynchronous to the PWM waveform. This can cause undesirable jitter in the controlled device. For that reason, synchronous PWM updates are recommended. Choose a time base that you expect to work for all of your anticipated cycle time values.
Tip The PWM Update Method bit (SM67.4 or SM77.4) in the control byte specifies the update type used when the PLS instruction is executed to invoke changes. If the time base is changed, an asynchronous update occurs regardless of the state of the PWM Update Method bit.

The PLS instruction reads the data stored in the specified SM memory locations and programs the PTO/PWM generator accordingly. SMB67 controls PTO 0 or PWM 0, and SMB77 controls PTO 1 or PWM 1. Table 6-36 describes the registers used to control the PTO/PWM operation. You can use Table 6-37 as a quick reference to determine the value to place in the PTO/PWM control register to invoke the desired operation. You can change the characteristics of a PTO or PWM waveform by modifying the locations in the SM area (including the control byte) and then executing the PLS instruction. You can disable the generation of a PTO or PWM waveform at any time by writing 0 to the PTO/PWM enable bit of the control byte (SM67.7 or SM77.7) and then executing the PLS instruction. The PTO Idle bit in the status byte (SM66.7 or SM76.7) is provided to indicate the completion of the programmed pulse train. In addition, an interrupt routine can be invoked upon the completion of a pulse train. (Refer to the descriptions of the Interrupt instructions and the Communications instructions.) If you are using the multiple segment operation, the interrupt routine is invoked upon completion of the profile table. The following conditions set SM66.4 (or SM76.4) and SM66.5 (or SM76.5):
-
Specifying a cycle time delta value that results in an illegal cycle time after a number of pulses generates a mathematical overflow condition that terminates the PTO function and sets the Delta Calculation Error bit (SM66.4 or SM76.4) to 1. The output reverts to image register control. Manually aborting (disabling) a PTO profile in progress sets the User Abort bit (SM66.5 or SM76.5) to 1. Attempting to load the pipeline while it is full sets the PTO/PWM overflow bit (SM66.6 or SM76.6) to 1. You must clear this bit manually after an overflow is detected if you want to detect subsequent overflows. The transition to RUN mode initializes this bit to 0.
Tip When you load a new pulse count (SMD72 or SMD82), pulse width (SMW70 or SMW80), or cycle time (SMW68 or SMW78), also set the appropriate update bits in the control register before you execute the PLS instruction. For a multiple segment pulse train operation, you must also load the starting offset (SMW168 or SMW178) of the profile table and the profile table values before you execute the PLS instruction.

Calculating Profile Table Values

The multiple-segment pipelining capability of the PTO/PWM generators can be useful in many applications, particularly in stepper motor control. For example, you can use PTO with a pulse profile to control a stepper motor through a simple ramp up, run, and ramp down sequence or more complicated sequences by defining a pulse profile that consists of up to 255 segments, with each segment corresponding to a ramp up, run, or ramp down operation. Figure 6-30 illustrates sample profile table values required to generate an output waveform that accelerates a stepper motor (segment 1), operates 1) the motor at a constant speed (segment 2), and then decelerates the motor (segment 3).
Frequency 10 kHz
2 kHz Time
2
4,000 pulses
Segment #1 200 pulses
Figure 6-30 Frequency/Time Diagram
For this example: The starting and final pulse frequency is 2 kHz, the maximum pulse frequency is 10 kHz, and 4000 pulses are required to achieve the desired number of motor revolutions. Since the values for the profile table are expressed in terms of period (cycle time) instead of frequency, you must convert the given frequency values into cycle time values. Therefore, the starting (initial) and final (ending) cycle time is 500 s, and the cycle time corresponding to the maximum frequency is 100 s. During the acceleration portion of the output profile, the maximum pulse frequency should be reached in approximately 200 pulses. The deceleration portion of the profile should be completed in approximately 400 pulses. You can use the following formula to determine the delta cycle time value for a given segment that the PTO/PWM generator uses to adjust the cycle time of each pulse: Delta cycle time for a segment = | End_CTseg -- Init_CTseg | / Quantityseg where: End_CTseg = Ending cycle time for this segment Init_CTseg = Initial cycle time for this segment Quantityseg = Quantity of pulses in this segment

Using this formula to calculate the delta cycle time values for the sample application: Segment 1 (acceleration): Delta cycle time = --2
Segment 2 (constant speed): Delta cycle time = 0 Segment 3 (deceleration): Delta cycle time = 1
Table 6-38 lists the values for generating the example waveform (assumes that the profile table is located in V memory, starting at V500). You can include instructions in your program to load these values into V memory, or you can define the values of the profile in the data block.
138
Chapter 6
In order to determine if the transitions between waveform segments are acceptable, you need to determine the cycle time of the last pulse in a segment. Unless the delta cycle time is 0, you must calculate the cycle time of the last pulse of a segment, because this value is not specified in the profile. Use the following formula to calculate the cycle time of the last pulse: Cycle time of the last pulse for a segment = Init_CTseg + ( Deltaseg * ( Quantityseg -- 1 )) where: Init_CTseg = Initial cycle time for this segment Deltaseg = Delta cycle time for this segment Quantityseg = Quantity of pulses in this segment While the simplified example above is useful as an introduction, real applications can require more complicated waveform profiles. Remember that the delta cycle time can be specified only as an integer number of microseconds or milliseconds, and the cycle time modification is performed on each pulse. The effect of these two items is that calculation of the delta cycle time value for a given segment could require an iterative approach. Some flexibility in the value of the ending cycle time or the number of pulses for a given segment might be required. The duration of a given profile segment can be useful in the process of determining correct profile table values. Use the following formula to calculate the length of time for completing a given profile segment: Duration of segment = Quantityseg * ( Init_CT + ( ( Deltaseg/2 ) * ( Quantityseg -- 1 ) ) ) where: Quantityseg = Quantity of pulses in this segment Init_CTseg = Initial cycle time for this segment Deltaseg = Delta cycle time for this segment

Proportional/Integral/Derivative (PID) Loop Instruction

The PID Loop instruction (PID) executes a PID loop calculation on the referenced LOOP based on the input and configuration information in Table (TBL).
Error conditions that set ENO = 0: H SM1.1 (overflow) H 0006 (indirect address) Special Memory bits affected: H SM1.1 (overflow)
The PID loop instruction (Proportional, Integral, Derivative Loop) is provided to perform the PID calculation. The top of the logic stack (TOS) must be ON (power flow) to enable the PID calculation. The instruction has two operands: a TABLE address which is the starting address of the loop table and a LOOP number which is a constant from 0 to 7. Eight PID instructions can be used in a program. If two or more PID instructions are used with the same loop number (even if they have different table addresses), the PID calculations will interfere with one another and the output will be unpredictable. The loop table stores nine parameters used for controlling and monitoring the loop operation and includes the current and previous value of the process variable, the setpoint, output, gain, sample time, integral time (reset), derivative time (rate), and the integral sum (bias). To perform the PID calculation at the desired sample rate, the PID instruction must be executed either from within a timed interrupt routine or from within the main program at a rate controlled by a timer. The sample time must be supplied as an input to the PID instruction via the loop table. Auto-Tune capability has been incorporated into the PID instruction. Refer to Chapter 15 for a detailed description of auto-tuning. The PID Tuning Control Panel only works with PID loops created by the PID wizard..

Understanding the PID Algorithm

In steady state operation, a PID controller regulates the value of the output so as to drive the error (e) to zero. A measure of the error is given by the difference between the setpoint (SP) (the desired operating point) and the process variable (PV) (the actual operating point). The principle of PID control is based upon the following equation that expresses the output, M(t), as a function of a proportional term, an integral term, and a differential term:
Output M(t) where: = = M(t) KC e Minitial Proportional term KC * e + + Integral term K + + Differential term KC * de/dt
e dt + M
0
initial
is the loop output as a function of time is the loop gain is the loop error (the difference between setpoint and process variable) is the initial value of the loop output
In order to implement this control function in a digital computer, the continuous function must be quantized into periodic samples of the error value with subsequent calculation of the output. The corresponding equation that is the basis for the digital computer solution is:
n
Mn output where:
Kc * en
KI *
ex 1
+ Minitial
KD * (en - en- 1)
= proportional term + integral term + differential term Mn is the calculated value of the loop output at sample time n KC is the loop gain en is the value of the loop error at sample time n en -- 1 is the previous value of the loop error (at sample time n - 1) ex is the value of the loop error at sample time x is the proportional constant of the integral term KI Minitial is the initial value of the loop output KD is the proportional constant of the differential term
From this equation, the integral term is shown to be a function of all the error terms from the first sample to the current sample. The differential term is a function of the current sample and the previous sample, while the proportional term is only a function of the current sample. In a digital computer, it is not practical to store all samples of the error term, nor is it necessary. Since the digital computer must calculate the output value each time the error is sampled beginning with the first sample, it is only necessary to store the previous value of the error and the previous value of the integral term. As a result of the repetitive nature of the digital computer solution, a simplification in the equation that must be solved at any sample time can be made. The simplified equation is:
Mn output where: = = Mn KC en en -- 1 KI MX KD KD * (en - en- 1) Kc * en + KI * en + MX + proportional term + integral term + differential term is the calculated value of the loop output at sample time n is the loop gain is the value of the loop error at sample time n is the previous value of the loop error (at sample time n - 1) is the proportional constant of the integral term is the previous value of the integral term (at sample time n - 1) is the proportional constant of the differential term

The S7-200 uses a modified form of the above simplified equation when calculating the loop output value. This modified equation is:

is the calculated value of the loop output at sample time n is the value of the proportional term of the loop output at sample time n is the value of the integral term of the loop output at sample time n is the value of the differential term of the loop output at sample time n
Understanding the Proportional Term of the PID Equation

The proportional term MP is the product of the gain (KC), which controls the sensitivity of the output calculation, and the error (e), which is the difference between the setpoint (SP) and the process variable (PV) at a given sample time. The equation for the proportional term as solved by the S7-200 is:
MPn where: = MPn KC SPn PVn KC * (SPn - PVn)
is the value of the proportional term of the loop output at sample time n is the loop gain is the value of the setpoint at sample time n is the value of the process variable at sample time n
Understanding the Integral Term of the PID Equation

The integral term MI is proportional to the sum of the error over time. The equation for the integral term as solved by the S7-200 is:
MIn where: = MIn KC TS TI SPn PVn MX KC * TS / TI * (SPn - PVn) + MX
is the value of the integral term of the loop output at sample time n is the loop gain is the loop sample time is the integration period of the loop (also called the integral time or reset) is the value of the setpoint at sample time n is the value of the process variable at sample time n is the value of the integral term at sample time n - 1 (also called the integral sum or the bias)
The integral sum or bias (MX) is the running sum of all previous values of the integral term. After each calculation of MIn, the bias is updated with the value of MIn which might be adjusted or clamped (see the section Variables and Ranges for details). The initial value of the bias is typically set to the output value (Minitial) just prior to the first loop output calculation. Several constants are also part of the integral term, the gain (KC), the sample time (TS), which is the cycle time at which the PID loop recalculates the output value, and the integral time or reset (TI), which is a time used to control the influence of the integral term in the output calculation.
147
Understanding the Differential Term of the PID Equation

The differential term MD is proportional to the change in the error. The S7-200 uses the following equation for the differential term:
MDn = KC * TD / TS
((SPn - PVn) - (SPn -- 1 - PVn -- 1))
To avoid step changes or bumps in the output due to derivative action on setpoint changes, this equation is modified to assume that the setpoint is a constant (SPn = SPn -- 1). This results in the calculation of the change in the process variable instead of the change in the error as shown:
MDn or just: MDn where: = MDn KC TS TD SPn SPn--1 PVn PVn--1 KC * TD / TS = KC * TD / TS
* *
(SPn - PVn - SPn + PVn -- 1) (PVn -- 1 - PVn)
is the value of the differential term of the loop output at sample time n is the loop gain is the loop sample time is the differentiation period of the loop (also called the derivative time or rate) is the value of the setpoint at sample time n is the value of the setpoint at sample time n-1 is the value of the process variable at sample time n is the value of the process variable at sample time n-1
The process variable rather than the error must be saved for use in the next calculation of the differential term. At the time of the first sample, the value of PVn -- 1 is initialized to be equal to PVn.
Selecting the Type of Loop Control

In many control systems, it might be necessary to employ only one or two methods of loop control. For example, only proportional control or proportional and integral control might be required. The selection of the type of loop control desired is made by setting the value of the constant parameters. If you do not want integral action (no I in the PID calculation), then a value of infinity INF, should be specified for the integral time (reset). Even with no integral action, the value of the integral term might not be zero, due to the initial value of the integral sum MX. If you do not want derivative action (no D in the PID calculation), then a value of 0.0 should be specified for the derivative time (rate). If you do not want proportional action (no P in the PID calculation) and you want I or ID control, then a value of 0.0 should be specified for the gain. Since the loop gain is a factor in the equations for calculating the integral and differential terms, setting a value of 0.0 for the loop gain will result in a value of 1.0 being used for the loop gain in the calculation of the integral and differential terms.
Converting and Normalizing the Loop Inputs

A loop has two input variables, the setpoint and the process variable. The setpoint is generally a fixed value such as the speed setting on the cruise control in your automobile. The process variable is a value that is related to loop output and therefore measures the effect that the loop output has on the controlled system. In the example of the cruise control, the process variable would be a tachometer input that measures the rotational speed of the tires.
148
Chapter 6
Both the setpoint and the process variable are real world values whose magnitude, range, and engineering units could be different. Before these real world values can be operated upon by the PID instruction, the values must be converted to normalized, floating-point representations. The first step is to convert the real world value from a 16-bit integer value to a floating-point or real number value. The following instruction sequence is provided to show how to convert from an integer value to a real number.
ITD DTR AIW0, AC0 AC0, AC0 //Convert an input value to a double word //Convert the 32-bit integer to a real number
The next step is to convert the real number value representation of the real world value to a normalized value between 0.0 and 1.0. The following equation is used to normalize either the setpoint or process variable value:
RNorm where: = RNorm RRaw Offset Span ((RRaw / Span) + Offset) is the normalized, real number value representation of the real world value is the un-normalized or raw, real number value representation of the real world value is 0.0 for unipolar values is 0.5 for bipolar values is the maximum possible value minus the minimum possible value: = 32,000 for unipolar values (typical) = 64,000 for bipolar values (typical)
The following instruction sequence shows how to normalize the bipolar value in AC0 (whose span is 64,000) as a continuation of the previous instruction sequence:
/R +R MOVR 64000.0, AC0 0.5, AC0 AC0, VD100 //Normalize the value in the accumulator //Offset the value to the range from 0.0 to 1.0 //Store the normalized value in the loop TABLE
Converting the Loop Output to a Scaled Integer Value

The loop output is the control variable, such as the throttle setting of the cruise control on an automobile. The loop output is a normalized, real number value between 0.0 and 1.0. Before the loop output can be used to drive an analog output, the loop output must be converted to a 16-bit, scaled integer value. This process is the reverse of converting the PV and SP to a normalized value. The first step is to convert the loop output to a scaled, real number value using the formula given below:
RScal where: = RScal Mn Offset Span (Mn - Offset) * Span
is the scaled, real number value of the loop output is the normalized, real number value of the loop output is 0.0 for unipolar values is 0.5 for bipolar values is the maximum possible value minus the minimum possible value = 32,000 for unipolar values (typical) = 64,000 for bipolar values (typical)
149
The following instruction sequence shows how to scale the loop output:
MOVR -R *R VD108, AC0 0.5, AC0 64000.0, AC0 //Moves the loop output to the accumulator //Include this statement only if the value is bipolar //Scales the value in the accumulator
Next, the scaled, real number value representing the loop output must be converted to a 16-bit integer. The following instruction sequence shows how to do this conversion:
ROUND AC0, AC0 DTI AC0, LW0 MOVW LW0, AQW0 //Converts the real number to a 32-bit integer //Converts the value to a 16-bit integer //Writes the value to the analog output
Forward- or Reverse-Acting Loops

The loop is forward-acting if the gain is positive and reverse-acting if the gain is negative. (For I or ID control, where the gain value is 0.0, specifying positive values for integral and derivative time will result in a forward-acting loop, and specifying negative values will result in a reverse-acting loop.)
Variables and Ranges

The process variable and setpoint are inputs to the PID calculation. Therefore the loop table fields for these variables are read but not altered by the PID instruction. The output value is generated by the PID calculation, so the output value field in the loop table is updated at the completion of each PID calculation. The output value is clamped between 0.0 and 1.0. The output value field can be used as an input by the user to specify an initial output value when making the transition from manual control to PID instruction (auto) control of the output. (See the discussion in the Modes section below). If integral control is being used, then the bias value is updated by the PID calculation and the updated value is used as an input in the next PID calculation. When the calculated output value goes out of range (output would be less than 0.0 or greater than 1.0), the bias is adjusted according to the following formulas:
MX or MX where: = MX MPn MDn Mn - (MPn + MDn) when the calculated output Mn < 0.0 is the value of the adjusted bias is the value of the proportional term of the loop output at sample time n is the value of the differential term of the loop output at sample time n is the value of the loop output at sample time n = 1.0 (MPn + MDn) when the calculated output Mn > 1.0
By adjusting the bias as described, an improvement in system responsiveness is achieved once the calculated output comes back into the proper range. The calculated bias is also clamped between 0.0 and 1.0 and then is written to the bias field of the loop table at the completion of each PID calculation. The value stored in the loop table is used in the next PID calculation. The bias value in the loop table can be modified by the user prior to execution of the PID instruction in order to address bias value problems in certain application situations. Care must be taken when manually adjusting the bias, and any bias value written into the loop table must be a real number between 0.0 and 1.0. A comparison value of the process variable is maintained in the loop table for use in the derivative action part of the PID calculation. You should not modify this value.

Chapter 6
Modes
There is no built-in mode control for S7-200 PID loops. The PID calculation is performed only when power flows to the PID box. Therefore, automatic or auto mode exists when the PID calculation is performed cyclically. Manual mode exists when the PID calculation is not performed. The PID instruction has a power-flow history bit, similar to a counter instruction. The instruction uses this history bit to detect a 0-to-1 power-flow transition. When the power-flow transition is detected, it will cause the instruction to perform a series of actions to provide a bumpless change from manual control to auto control. In order for change to auto mode control to be bumpless, the value of the output as set by the manual control must be supplied as an input to the PID instruction (written to the loop table entry for Mn) before switching to auto control. The PID instruction performs the following actions to values in the loop table to ensure a bumpless change from manual to auto control when a 0-to-1 power-flow transition is detected:
-
Sets setpoint (SPn) = process variable (PVn) Sets old process variable (PVn--1) = process variable (PVn) Sets bias (MX) = output value (Mn)
The default state of the PID history bits is set and that state is established at startup and on every STOP-to-RUN mode transition of the controller. If power flows to the PID box the first time that it is executed after entering RUN mode, then no power-flow transition is detected and the bumpless mode change actions are not performed.
Alarm Checking and Special Operations

The PID instruction is a simple but powerful instruction that performs the PID calculation. If other processing is required such as alarm checking or special calculations on loop variables, these must be implemented using the basic instructions supported by the S7-200.
Error Conditions
When it is time to compile, the CPU will generate a compile error (range error) and the compilation will fail if the loop table start address or PID loop number operands specified in the instruction are out of range. Certain loop table input values are not range checked by the PID instruction. You must take care to ensure that the process variable and setpoint (as well as the bias and previous process variable if used as inputs) are real numbers between 0.0 and 1.0. If any error is encountered while performing the mathematical operations of the PID calculation, then SM1.1 (overflow or illegal value) is set and execution of the PID instruction is terminated. (Update of the output values in the loop table could be incomplete, so you should disregard these values and correct the input value causing the mathematical error before the next execution of the loops PID instruction.)

Interrupt Instructions
Enable Interrupt and Disable Interrupt
The Enable Interrupt instruction (ENI) globally enables processing of all attached interrupt events. The Disable Interrupt instruction (DISI) globally disables processing of all interrupt events. When you make the transition to RUN mode, interrupts are initially disabled. In RUN mode, you can enable interrupt processing by executing the Enable Interrupt instruction. Executing the Disable Interrupt instruction inhibits the processing of interrupts; however, active interrupt events will continue to be queued.
Error conditions that set ENO = 0: H 0004 (attempted execution of ENI, DISI, or HDEF instructions in an interrupt routine)
Conditional Return from Interrupt

The Conditional Return from Interrupt instruction (CRETI) can be used to return from an interrupt, based upon the condition of the preceding logic.
Attach Interrupt
The Attach Interrupt instruction (ATCH) associates an interrupt event EVNT with an interrupt routine number INT and enables the interrupt event.
Error conditions that set ENO = 0: H 0002 (conflicting assignment of inputs to an HSC)
Detach Interrupt
The Detach Interrupt instruction (DTCH) disassociates an interrupt event EVNT from all interrupt routines and disables the interrupt event.
Clear Interrupt Event

The Clear Interrupt Event instruction removes all interrupt events of type EVNT from the interrupt queue. Use this instruction to clear the interrupt queue of unwanted interrupt events. If this instruction is being used to clear out spurious interrupt events, you should detach the event before clearing the events from the queue. Otherwise new events will be added to the queue after the clear event instruction has been executed. The example shows a high-speed counter in quadrature mode using the CLR_EVNT instruction to remove interrupts. If a light chopper stepper sensor was stopped in a position that is on the edge of a light to dark transition, then small machine vibrations could generate unwanted interrupts before the new PV can be loaded.

Operation of the Attach Interrupt and Detach Interrupt Instructions

Before an interrupt routine can be invoked, an association must be established between the interrupt event and the program segment that you want to execute when the event occurs. Use the Attach Interrupt instruction to associate an interrupt event (specified by the interrupt event number) and the program segment (specified by an interrupt routine number). You can attach multiple interrupt events to one interrupt routine, but one event cannot be concurrently attached to multiple interrupt routines. When you attach an interrupt event to an interrupt routine, that interrupt is automatically enabled. If you disable all interrupts using the global disable interrupt instruction, each occurrence of the interrupt event is queued until interrupts are re-enabled, using the global enable interrupt instruction, or the interrupt queue overflows. You can disable individual interrupt events by breaking the association between the interrupt event and the interrupt routine with the Detach Interrupt instruction. The Detach Interrupt instruction returns the interrupt to an inactive or ignored state. Table 6-46 lists the different types of interrupt events.

Understanding How the S7-200 Processes Interrupt Routines

The interrupt routine is executed in response to an associated internal or external event. Once the last instruction of the interrupt routine has been executed, control is returned to the main program. You can exit the routine by executing a Conditional Return from Interrupt instruction (CRETI). Table 6-47 emphasizes some guidelines and restrictions for using interrupt routines in your program.
Table 6-47 Guidelines Interrupt processing provides quick reaction to special internal or external events. You should optimize interrupt routines to perform a specific task, and then return control to the main routine. By keeping the interrupt routines short and to the point, execution is quick and other processes are not deferred for long periods of time. If this is not done, unexpected conditions can cause abnormal operation of equipment controlled by the main program. For interrupts, the axiom, the shorter, the better, is definitely true. Restrictions You cannot use the Disable Interrupt (DISI), Enable Interrupt (ENI), High-Speed Counter Definition (HDEF), and End (END) instructions in an interrupt routine. Guidelines and Restrictions for Using Interrupt Routines
System Support for Interrupts

Because contact, coil, and accumulator logic can be affected by interrupts, the system saves and reloads the logic stack, accumulator registers, and the special memory bits (SM) that indicate the status of accumulator and instruction operations. This avoids disruption to the main user program caused by branching to and from an interrupt routine.
Sharing Data Between the Main Program and Interrupt Routines

You can share data between the main program and one or more interrupt routines. Because it is not possible to predict when the S7-200 might generate an interrupt, it is desirable to limit the number of variables that are used by both the interrupt routine and elsewhere in the program. Problems with the consistency of shared data can result due to the actions of interrupt routines when the execution of instructions in your main program is interrupted by interrupt events. Use the local variable table of the interrupt routine to ensure that your interrupt routine uses only the temporary memory and does not overwrite data used somewhere else in your program.
155
There are a number of programming techniques you can use to ensure that data is correctly shared between your main program and interrupt routines. These techniques either restrict the way access is made to shared memory locations or prevent interruption of instruction sequences using shared memory locations.
-
For an STL program that is sharing a single variable: If the shared data is a single byte, word, or double word variable and your program is written in STL, then correct shared access can be ensured by storing the intermediate values from operations on shared data only in non-shared memory locations or accumulators. For a LAD program that is sharing a single variable: If the shared data is a single byte, word, or double word variable and your program is written in LAD, then correct shared access can be ensured by establishing the convention that access to shared memory locations be made using only Move instructions (MOVB, MOVW, MOVD, MOVR). While many LAD instructions are composed of interruptible sequences of STL instructions, these Move instructions are composed of a single STL instruction whose execution cannot be affected by interrupt events. For an STL or LAD program that is sharing multiple variables: If the shared data is composed of a number of related bytes, words, or double words, then the interrupt disable/enable instructions (DISI and ENI) can be used to control interrupt routine execution. At the point in your main program where operations on shared memory locations are to begin, disable the interrupts. Once all actions affecting the shared locations are complete, re-enable the interrupts. During the time that interrupts are disabled, interrupt routines cannot be executed and therefore cannot access shared memory locations; however, this approach can result in delayed response to interrupt events.
Calling Subroutines from Interrupt Routines

You can call one nesting level of subroutines from an interrupt routine. The accumulators and the logic stack are shared between an interrupt routine and a subroutine that is called.
Types of Interrupts Supported by the S7-200

The S7-200 supports the following types of interrupt routines:
-
Communications port interrupts: The S7-200 generates events that allow your program to control the communications port. I/O interrupts: The S7-200 generates events for different changes of state for various I/O. These events allow your program to respond to the high-speed counters, the pulse outputs, or to rising or falling states of the inputs. Time-based interrupts: The S7-200 generates events that allow your program to react at specific intervals.
Communications Port Interrupts

The serial communications port of the S7-200 can be controlled by your program. This mode of operating the communications port is called Freeport mode. In Freeport mode, your program defines the baud rate, bits per character, parity, and protocol. The Receive and Transmit interrupts are available to facilitate your program-controlled communications. Refer to the Transmit and Receive instructions for more information.
I/O Interrupts
I/O interrupts include rising/falling edge interrupts, high-speed counter interrupts, and pulse train output interrupts. The S7-200 can generate an interrupt on rising and/or falling edges of an input (either I0.0, I0.1, I0.2, or I0.3). The rising edge and the falling edge events can be captured for each of these input points. These rising/falling edge events can be used to signify a condition that must receive immediate attention when the event happens. The high-speed counter interrupts allow you to respond to conditions such as the current value reaching the preset value, a change in counting direction that might correspond to a reversal in the direction in which a shaft is turning, or an external reset of the counter. Each of these high-speed counter events allows action to be taken in real time in response to high-speed events that cannot be controlled at programmable logic controller scan speeds.
156
Chapter 6
The pulse train output interrupts provide immediate notification of completion of outputting the prescribed number of pulses. A typical use of pulse train outputs is stepper motor control. You can enable each of the above interrupts by attaching an interrupt routine to the related I/O event.
Time-Based Interrupts
Time-based interrupts include timed interrupts and the timer T32/T96 interrupts. You can specify actions to be taken on a cyclic basis using a timed interrupt. The cycle time is set in 1-ms increments from 1 ms to 255 ms. You must write the cycle time in SMB34 for timed interrupt 0, and in SMB35 for timed interrupt 1. The timed interrupt event transfers control to the appropriate interrupt routine each time the timer expires. Typically, you use timed interrupts to control the sampling of analog inputs or to execute a PID loop at regular intervals. A timed interrupt is enabled and timing begins when you attach an interrupt routine to a timed interrupt event. During the attachment, the system captures the cycle time value, so subsequent changes to SMB34 and SMB35 do not affect the cycle time. To change the cycle time, you must modify the cycle time value, and then re-attach the interrupt routine to the timed interrupt event. When the re-attachment occurs, the timed interrupt function clears any accumulated time from the previous attachment and begins timing with the new value. After being enabled, the timed interrupt runs continuously, executing the attached interrupt routine on each expiration of the specified time interval. If you exit RUN mode or detach the timed interrupt, the timed interrupt is disabled. If the global disable interrupt instruction is executed, timed interrupts continue to occur. Each occurrence of the timed interrupt is queued (until either interrupts are enabled or the queue is full). The timer T32/T96 interrupts allow timely response to the completion of a specified time interval. These interrupts are only supported for the 1-ms resolution on-delay (TON) and off-delay (TOF) timers T32 and T96. The T32 and T96 timers otherwise behave normally. Once the interrupt is enabled, the attached interrupt routine is executed when the active timers current value becomes equal to the preset time value during the normal 1-ms timer update performed in the S7-200. You enable these interrupts by attaching an interrupt routine to the T32/T96 interrupt events.
Interrupt Priority and Queuing

Interrupts are serviced by the S7-200 on a first-come-first-served basis within their respective priority group. Only one user-interrupt routine is ever being executed at any point in time. Once the execution of an interrupt routine begins, the routine is executed to completion. It cannot be pre-empted by another interrupt routine, even by a higher priority routine. Interrupts that occur while another interrupt is being processed are queued for later processing. Table 6-48 shows the three interrupt queues and the maximum number of interrupts they can store.
Table 6-48 Queue Communications queue I/O Interrupt queue Timed Interrupt queue Maximum Number of Entries per Interrupt Queue CPU 221, CPU 222, CPU 224 4 16 8 CPU 224XP and CPU 226 8 16 8
Potentially, more interrupts can occur than the queue can hold. Therefore, queue overflow memory bits (identifying the type of interrupt events that have been lost) are maintained by the system. Table 6-49 shows the interrupt queue overflow bits. You should use these bits only in an interrupt routine because they are reset when the queue is emptied, and control is returned to the main program.
157
Table 6-50 shows all interrupt events, with their priority and assigned event number.

Move Byte Immediate (Read and Write)

The Move Byte Immediate instructions allow you to immediately move a byte between the physical I/O and a memory location. The Move Byte Immediate Read (BIR) instruction reads physical input (IN) and writes the result to the memory address (OUT), but the process-image register is not updated. The Move Byte Immediate Write instruction (BIW) reads the data from the memory address (IN) and writes to physical output (OUT), and the corresponding process image location.

Program Control Instructions

Conditional End
The Conditional End instruction (END) terminates the current scan based upon the condition of the preceding logic. You can use the Conditional End instruction in the main program, but you cannot use it in either subroutines or interrupt routines.
Stop
The Stop instruction (STOP) terminates the execution of your program by causing a transition of the S7-200 CPU from RUN to STOP mode. If the Stop instruction is executed in an interrupt routine, the interrupt routine is terminated immediately, and all pending interrupts are ignored. Remaining actions in the current scan cycle are completed, including execution of the main user program, and the transition from RUN to STOP mode is made at the end of the current scan.
Watchdog Reset
The Watchdog Reset instruction (WDR) retriggers the system watchdog timer of the S7-200 CPU to extend the time that the scan is allowed to take without getting a watchdog error. You should use the Watchdog Reset instruction carefully. If you use looping instructions either to prevent scan completion or to delay excessively the completion of the scan, the following processes are inhibited until the scan cycle is completed:
-
Communications (except Freeport Mode) I/O updating (except Immediate I/O) Force updating SM bit updating (SM0, SM5 to SM29 are not updated) Run-time diagnostics 10-ms and 100-ms timers will not properly accumulate time for scans exceeding 25 seconds STOP instruction, when used in an interrupt routine Expansion modules with discrete outputs also include a watchdog timer that turns off outputs if the module is not written by the S7-200. Use an immediate write to each expansion module with discrete outputs to keep the correct outputs on during extended scan times. Refer to the example that follows this description.
167
Tip If you expect your scan time to exceed 500 ms, or if you expect a burst of interrupt activity that could prevent returning to the main scan for more than 500 ms, you should use the Watchdog Reset instruction to retrigger the watchdog timer. Each time you use the Watchdog Reset instruction, you should also use an immediate write to one output byte (QB) in each discrete expansion module to reset each expansion module watchdog. If you use the Watchdog Reset instruction to allow the execution of a program that requires a long scan time, changing the mode switch to the STOP position causes the S7-200 to transition to STOP mode within 1.4 seconds.
Example: Stop, End, and Watchdog Reset Instructions Network 1 LD STOP Network 2 //When an I/O error is detected: //Force the transition to STOP mode. SM5.0
//When M5.6 is on, allow the scan to //be extended: //1. Retrigger the Watchdog Reset for the S7-200. //2. Retrigger the watchdog for the first output module. M5.6 QB2, QB2 //When I0.0 is on, terminate the current scan. I0.0

Chapter 6
For-Next Loop Instructions

Use the For (FOR) and Next (NEXT) instructions to delineate a loop that is repeated for the specified count. Each For instruction requires a Next instruction. You can nest For--Next loops (place a For--Next loop within a For--Next loop) to a depth of eight. The For instruction executes the instructions between the For and the Next instructions. You specify the index value or current loop count INDX, the starting value INIT, and the ending value FINAL. The Next instruction marks the end of the FOR loop.
If you enable the For--Next loop, it continues the looping process until it finishes the iterations, unless you change the final value from within the loop itself. You can change the values while the For--Next loop is in the looping process. When the loop is enabled again, it copies the initial value into the index value (current loop number). The For--Next instruction resets itself the next time it is enabled. For example, given an INIT value of 1 and a FINAL value of 10, the instructions between the For instruction and the Next instruction are executed 10 times with the INDX value being incremented: 1, 2, 3, ...10. If the starting value is greater than the final value, the loop is not executed. After each execution of the instructions between the For instruction and the Next instruction, the INDX value is incremented and the result is compared to the final value. If the INDX is greater than the final value, the loop is terminated. If the top of stack is 1 when your program enters the For--Next loop, then the top of stack will be 1 when your program exits the For--Next loop.

Jump Instructions
The Jump to Label instruction (JMP) performs a branch to the specified label N within the program. The Label instruction (LBL) marks the location of the jump destination N. You can use the Jump instruction in the main program, in subroutines, or in interrupt routines. The Jump and its corresponding Label instruction must always be located within the same segment of code (either the main program, a subroutine, or an interrupt routine). You cannot jump from the main program to a label in either a subroutine or an interrupt routine. Likewise, you cannot jump from a subroutine or interrupt routine to a label outside that subroutine or interrupt routine. You can use a Jump instruction within an SCR segment, but the corresponding Label instruction must be located within the same SCR segment.

Sequence Control Relay (SCR) Instructions

SCR instructions provide you with a simple yet powerful state control programming technique that fits naturally into a LAD, FBD, or STL program. Whenever your application consists of a sequence of operations that must be performed repetitively, SCRs can be used to structure your program so that it corresponds directly to your application. As a result, you can program and debug your application more quickly and easily. The Load SCR instruction (LSCR) loads the SCR and logic stacks with the value of the S bit referenced by the instruction N. The SCR segment is energized or de-energized by the resulting value of the SCR stack. The value of the SCR stack is copied to the top of the logic stack so that boxes or output coils can be tied directly to the left power rail without an intervening contact.
Restrictions
When using SCRs, be aware of the following restrictions:
-
You cannot use the same S bit in more than one routine. For example, if you use S0.1 in the main program, do not use it in a subroutine. You cannot jump into or out of an SCR segment; however, you can use Jump and Label instructions to jump around SCR segments or to jump within an SCR segment. You cannot use the END instruction in an SCR segment.

Chapter 6
Figure 6-31 shows the S stack and the logic stack and the effect of executing the Load SCR instruction. The following is true of Sequence Control Relay instructions:
-
The Load SCR instruction (LSCR) marks the beginning of an SCR segment, and the SCR End instruction (SCRE) marks the end of an SCR segment. All logic between the Load SCR and the SCR End instructions are dependent upon the value of the S stack for its execution. Logic between the SCR End and the next Load SCR instruction is not dependent on the value of the S stack. The SCR Transition instruction (SCRT) provides the means to transfer control from an active SCR segment to another SCR segment. Execution of the SCR Transition instruction when it has power flow will reset the S bit of the currently active segment and will set the S bit of the referenced segment. Resetting the S bit of the active segment does not affect the S stack at the time the SCR Transition instruction executes. Consequently, the SCR segment C tl th t remains energized until it is exited.

Figure 6-31 Effect of LSCR on the Logic Stack
The Conditional SCR End instruction (CSCRE) provides a means to exit an active SCR segment without executing the instructions between the Conditional SCR End and the SCR End instructions. The Conditional SCR End instruction does not affect any S bit nor does it affect the S stack.
In the following example, the first scan bit SM0.1 sets S0.1, which will be the active State 1 on the first scan. After a 2-second delay, T37 causes a transition to State 2. This transition deactivates the State 1 SCR (S0.1) segment and activates the State 2 SCR (S0.2) segment.

Divergence Control
In many applications, a single stream of sequential states must be split into two or more different streams. When a control stream diverges into multiple streams, all outgoing streams must be activated simultaneously. This is shown in Figure 6-32.
State L
Transition Condition
State M
State N
Figure 6-32
Divergence of a Control Stream
The divergence of control streams can be implemented in an SCR program by using multiple SCRT instructions enabled by the same transition condition, as shown in the following example.
Example: Divergence of Control Streams Network 1 LSCR Network 2 LD A SCRT SCRT Network 3 SCRE M2.3 I2.1 S3.5 S6.5 S3.4 //Beginning of State L control region.
//Transition to State M //Transition to State N //End of the State region for State L.
Convergence Control
A situation similar to divergence control arises when two or more streams of sequential states must be merged into a single stream. When multiple streams merge into a single stream, they are said to converge. When streams converge, all incoming streams must be complete before the next state is executed. Figure 6-33 depicts the convergence of two control streams. The convergence of control streams can be implemented in an SCR program by making the transition from state L to state L and by making the transition from state M to state M. When both SCR bits representing L and M are true, state N can the enabled as shown in the following example.

Diagnostic LED Instruction

If the input parameter IN has a value of zero, then set the diagnostic LED OFF. If the input parameter IN has a value greater than zero, then set the diagnostic LED ON (yellow). The CPU light emitting diode (LED) labeled SF/ DIAG can be configured to indicate yellow when either the conditions specified in the System Block are true or when the DIAG_LED instruction is executed with a non--zero IN parameter. System Block (Configure LED) check box options:
-
SF/ DIAG LED is ON (yellow) when an item is forced in the CPU SF/ DIAG LED is ON (yellow) when a module has an I/O error

Shift and Rotate Instructions

Shift Right and Shift Left Instructions
The Shift instructions shift the input value IN right or left by the shift count N and load the result in the output OUT. The Shift instructions fill with zeros as each bit is shifted out. If the shift count (N) is greater than or equal to the maximum allowed (8 for byte operations, 16 for word operations, and 32 for double word operations), the value is shifted the maximum number of times for the operation. If the shift count is greater than 0, the overflow memory bit (SM1.1) takes on the value of the last bit shifted out. The zero memory bit (SM1.0) is set if the result of the shift operation is zero. Byte operations are unsigned. For word and double word operations, the sign bit is shifted when you use signed data types.
Error conditions that set ENO = 0 H 0006 (indirect address) SM bits affected: H SM1.0 (zero) H SM1.1 (overflow)
Rotate Right and Rotate Left Instructions

The Rotate instructions rotate the input value (IN) right or left by the shift count (N) and load the result in the memory location (OUT). The rotate is circular. If the shift count is greater than or equal to the maximum for the operation (8 for a byte operation, 16 for a word operation, or 32 for a double-word operation), the S7-200 performs a modulo operation on the shift count to obtain a valid shift count before the rotation is executed. This result is a shift count of 0 to 7 for byte operations, 0 to 15 for word operations, and 0 to 31 for double-word operations. If the shift count is 0, a rotate operation is not performed. If the rotate operation is performed, the value of the last bit rotated is copied to the overflow bit (SM1.1). If the shift count is not an integer multiple of 8 (for byte operations), 16 (for word operations), or 32 (for double-word operations), the last bit rotated out is copied to the overflow memory bit (SM1.1). The zero memory bit (SM1.0) is set when the value to be rotated is zero. Byte operations are unsigned. For word and double word operations, the sign bit is shifted when you use signed data types.

Shift Register Bit Instruction

The Shift Register Bit instruction shifts a value into the Shift Register. This instruction provides an easy method for sequencing and controlling product flow or data. Use this instruction to shift the entire register one bit, once per scan. The Shift Register Bit instruction shifts the value of DATA into the Shift Register. S_BIT specifies the least significant bit of the Shift Register. N specifies the length of the Shift Register and the direction of the shift (Shift Plus = N, Shift Minus = --N). Each bit shifted out by the SHRB instruction is placed in the overflow memory bit (SM1.1). This instruction is defined by both the least significant bit (S_BIT) and the number of bits specified by the length (N).

Use the following equation to compute the address of the most significant bit of the Shift Register (MSB.b): MSB.b = [(Byte of S_BIT) + ([N] - 1 + (bit of S_BIT)) / 8].[remainder of the division by 8] For example: if S_BIT is V33.4 and N is 14, the following calculation shows that the MSB.b is V35.1. MSB.b = V33 + ([14] -- 1 +4)/8 = V33 + 17/8 = V33 + 2 with a remainder of 1 = V35.1

On a Shift Minus, indicated by a negative value of length (N), the input data shifts into the most significant bit of the Shift Register, and shifts out of the least significant bit (S_BIT). The data shifted out is then placed in the overflow memory bit (SM1.1). On a Shift Plus, indicated by a positive value of length (N), the input data (DATA) shifts into the least significant bit of the Shift Register, specified by the S_BIT, and out of the most significant bit of the Shift Register. The data shifted out is then placed in the overflow memory bit (SM1.1). The maximum length of the shift register is 64 bits, positive or negative.

A string On is stored at VB20, and a string Off is stored at VB30. The result of the Find String Within String instruction is stored in AC0 (the OUT parameter). If the result is not 0, then the string On was found in the command string (VB12). Network 1 //1. // //2. // // Set AC0 to 1. (AC0 is used as the OUT parameter.) Search the string at VB0 for the string at VB20 (On), starting at the first position (AC0=1).

Table Instructions
Add To Table
The Add To Table instruction adds word values (DATA) to a table (TBL). The first value of the table is the maximum table length (TL). The second value is the entry count (EC), which specifies the number of entries in the table. New data are added to the table after the last entry. Each time new data are added to the table, the entry count is incremented. A table can have up to 100 data entries.

First-In-First-Out and Last-In-First-Out

A table can have up to 100 data entries.
First-In-First-Out
The First-In-First-Out instruction (FIFO) moves the oldest (or first) entry in a table to the output memory address by removing the first entry in the table (TBL) and moving the value to the location specified by DATA. All other entries of the table are shifted up one location. The entry count in the table is decremented for each instruction execution.
Last-In-First-Out
The Last-In-First-Out instruction (LIFO) moves the newest (or last) entry in the table to the output memory address by removing the last entry in the table (TBL) and moving the value to the location specified by DATA. The entry count in the table is decremented for each instruction execution.

Table Find
The Table Find instruction (FND) searches a table for data that matches certain criteria. The Table Find instruction searches the table TBL, starting with the table entry INDX, for the data value or pattern PTN that matches the search criteria defined by CMD. The command parameter CMD is given a numeric value of 1 to 4 that corresponds to =, <>, <, and >, respectively. If a match is found, the INDX points to the matching entry in the table. To find the next matching entry, the INDX must be incremented before invoking the Table Find instruction again. If a match is not found, the INDX has a value equal to the entry count. A table can have up to 100 data entries. The data entries (area to be searched) are numbered from 0 to a maximum value of 99.

Tip When you use the Table Find instruction with tables generated with the Add to Table, Last-In-First-Out, and First-In-First-Out instructions, the entry count and the data entries correspond directly. The maximum-number-of-entries word required for the Add to Table, Last-In-First-Out, or First-In-First-Out instructions is not required by the Table Find instruction. See Figure 6-36. Consequently, you should set the TBL operand of a Find instruction to one-word address (two bytes) higher than the TBL operand of a corresponding the Add to Table, Last-In-First-Out, or First-In-First-Out instruction.

Example: Creating a Table The following program creates a table with 20 entries. The first memory location of the table contains the length of the table (in this case 20 entries). The second memory location shows the current number of table entries. The other locations contain the entries. A table can have up to 100 entries. It does not include the parameters defining the maximum length of the table or the actual number of entries (here VW0 and VW2). The actual number of entries in the table (here VW2) is automatically incremented or decremented by the CPU with every command. Before you work with a table, assign the maximum number of table entries. Otherwise, you cannot make entries in the table. Also, be sure that all read and write commands are activated with edges. To search the table, the index (VW106) must set to 0 before doing the find. If a match is found, the index will have the table entry number, but if no match is found, the index will match the current entry count for the table (VW2).

Timer Instructions
SIMATIC Timer Instructions
On-Delay Timer Retentive On-Delay Timer
The On-Delay Timer (TON) and Retentive On-Delay Timer (TONR) instructions count time when the enabling input is on. The timer number (Txx) determines the resolution of the timer, and the resolution is now shown in the instruction box.
Off-Delay Timer
The Off-Delay Timer (TOF) is used to delay turning an output off for a fixed period of time after the input turns off. The timer number (Txx) determines the resolution of the timer, and the resolution is now shown in the instruction box.

Tip You cannot share the same timer number (Txx) for an off-delay timer (TOF) and an on-delay timer (TON). For example, you cannot have both a TON T32 and a TOF T32. As shown in Table 6-73, the three types of timers perform different types of timing tasks:
-
You can use a TON for timing a single interval. You can use a TONR for accumulating a number of timed intervals. You can use a TOF for extending time past an off (or false) condition, such as for cooling a motor after it is turned off.
Operations of the Timer Instructions Current >= Preset Timer bit on Current continues counting to 32,767 Timer bit on Current continues counting to 32,767 Timer bit off Current = Preset, stops counting State of the Enabling Input (IN) ON: Current value counts time OFF: Timer bit off, current value = 0 ON: Current value counts time OFF: Timer bit and current value maintain last state ON: Timer bit on, current value = 0 OFF: Timer counts after on-to-off transition Power Cycle/First Scan Timer bit off Current value = 0 Timer bit off Current value can be maintained1 Timer bit off Current value = 0

196
Chapter 6
Refer to the Programming Tips on the documentation CD for a sample program that uses the on-delay timer (TON). See Tip 31
Programming Tips
The TON and TONR instructions count time when the enabling input is on. When the current value is equal to or greater than the preset time, the timer bit is on.
-
The current value of a TON timer is cleared when the enabling input is off, whereas the current value of the TONR timer is maintained when the input is off. You can use the TONR timer to accumulate time when the input turns on and off. Use the Reset instruction (R) to clear the current value of the TONR. Both the TON and the TONR timers continue counting after the preset is reached, and they stop counting at the maximum value of 32,767.
The TOF instruction is used to delay turning an output off for a fixed period of time after the input turns off. When the enabling input turns on, the timer bit turns on immediately, and the current value is set to 0. When the input turns off, the timer counts until the elapsed time reaches the preset time.
-
When the preset is reached, the timer bit turns off and the current value stops incrementing; however, if the input turns on again before the TOF reaches the preset value, the timer bit remains on. The enabling input must make an on-to-off transition for the TOF to begin counting time intervals. If the TOF timer is inside an SCR region and the SCR region is inactive, then the current value is set to 0, the timer bit is turned off, and the current value does not increment.
Tip You can reset a TONR only by using the Reset (R) instruction. You can also use the Reset instruction to reset any TON or TOF. The Reset instruction performs the following operations: H H Timer Bit = off Timer Current = 0
After a reset, TOF timers require the enabling input to make the transition from on to off in order for the timer to restart.
Determining the Resolution of the Timer

Timers count time intervals. The resolution (or time base) of the timer determines the amount of time in each interval. For example, a TON with a resolution of 10 ms counts the number of 10-ms intervals that elapse after the TON is enabled: a count of 50 on a 10-ms timer represents 500 ms. The SIMATIC timers are available in three resolutions: 1 ms, 10 ms, and 100 ms. As shown in Table 6-74, the timer number determines the resolution of the timer.
197
Tip To guarantee a minimum time interval, increase the preset value (PV) by 1. For example: To ensure a minimum timed interval of at least 2100 ms for a 100-ms timer, set the PV to 22.

Understanding How Resolution Affects the Timer Action

For a timer with a resolution of 1 ms, the timer bit and the current value are updated asynchronous to the scan cycle. For scans greater than 1 ms, the timer bit and the current value are updated multiple times throughout the scan. For a timer with a resolution of 10 ms, the timer bit and the current value are updated at the beginning of each scan cycle. The timer bit and current value remain constant throughout the scan, and the time intervals that accumulate during the scan are added to the current value at the start of each scan. For a timer with a resolution of 100 ms, the timer bit and current value are updated when the instruction is executed; therefore, ensure that your program executes the instruction for a 100-ms timer only once per scan cycle in order for the timer to maintain the correct timing.
Example: SIMATIC On-Delay Timer Network 1 //100 ms timer T37 times out after //(10 x 100 ms = 1s) //I0.0 ON=T37 enabled, //I0.0 OFF=disable and reset T37 I0.0 T37, +10 //T37 bit is controlled by timer T37 T37 Q0.0

Tip To guarantee that the output of a self-resetting timer is turned on for one scan each time the timer reaches the preset value, use a normally closed contact instead of the timer bit as the enabling input to the timer.

IEC Timer Instructions

On-Delay Timer
The On-Delay Timer (TON) instruction counts time when the enabling input is on.
Off-Delay Timer
The Off-Delay Timer (TOF) delays turning an output off for a fixed period of time after the input turns off.
Pulse Timer
The Pulse Timer (TP) generates pulses for a specific duration.

Tip You cannot share the same timer numbers for TOF, TON, and TP. For example, you cannot have both a TON T32 and a TOF T32.
-
The TON instruction counts time intervals up to the preset value when the enabling input (IN) becomes true. When the elapsed time (ET) is equal to the Preset Time (PT), the timer output bit (Q) turns on. The output bit resets when the enabling input turns off. When the preset is reached, timing stops and the timer is disabled. The TOF instruction delays setting an output to off for a fixed period of time after the input turns off. It times up to the preset value when the enabling input (IN) turns off. When the elapsed time (ET) is equal to the preset time (PT), the timer output bit (Q) turns off. When the preset is reached, the timer output bit turns off and the elapsed time is maintained until the enabling input makes the transition to on. If the enabling input sets the transition to off for a period of time shorter than the preset time, the output bit remains on. The TP instruction generates pulses for a specific duration. As the enabling input (IN) turns on, the output bit (Q) turns on. The output bit remains on for the pulse specified within the preset time (PT). When the elapsed time (ET) reaches preset (PT), the output bit turns off. The elapsed time is maintained until the enabling input turns off. When the output bit turns on, it remains on until the pulse time has elapsed.
Each count of the current value is a multiple of the time base. For example, a count of 50 on a 10-ms timer represents 500 ms. The IEC timers (TON, TOF, and TP) are available in three resolutions. The resolution is determined by the timer number, as shown in Table 6-76.

Interval Timers
Beginning Interval Time
The Beginning Interval Time (BITIM) instruction reads the current value of the built-in 1 millisecond counter and stores the value in OUT. The maximum timed interval for a DWORD millisecond value is 2 raised to the 32 power or 49.7 days.
Calculate Interval Time

The Calculate Interval Time (CITIM) instruction calculates the time difference between the current time and the time provided in IN. The difference is stored in OUT. The maximum timed interval for a DWORD millisecond value is 2 raised to the 32 power or 49.7 days. CITIM automatically handles the one millisecond timer rollover that occurs within the maximum interval, depending on when the BITIM instruction was executed.

Subroutine Instructions
The Call Subroutine instruction (CALL) transfers control to the subroutine SBR_N. You can use a Call Subroutine instruction with or without parameters. After the subroutine completes its execution, control returns to the instruction that follows the Call Subroutine. The Conditional Return from Subroutine instruction (CRET) terminates the subroutine based upon the preceding logic. To add a subroutine, select the Edit > Insert > Subroutine menu command.
Error conditions that set ENO = 0 H 0008 (maximum subroutine nesting exceeded) H 0006 (indirect address)
From the main program, you can nest subroutines (place a subroutine call within a subroutine) to a depth of eight. From an interrupt routine, you cannot nest subroutines. A subroutine call cannot be placed in any subroutine called from an interrupt routine. Recursion (a subroutine that calls itself) is not prohibited, but you should use caution when using recursion with subroutines.

Tip STEP 7--Micro/WIN automatically adds an unconditional return from each subroutine. When a subroutine is called, the entire logic stack is saved, the top of stack is set to one, all other stack locations are set to zero, and control is transferred to the called subroutine. When this subroutine is completed, the stack is restored with the values saved at the point of call, and control is returned to the calling routine. Accumulators are common to subroutines and the calling routine. No save or restore operation is performed on accumulators due to subroutine use. When a subroutine is called more than once in the same cycle, the edge/up, edge/down, timer and counter instructions should not be used. 204
Chapter 6
Calling a Subroutine With Parameters

Subroutines can contain passed parameters. The parameters are defined in the local variable table of the subroutine. The parameters must have a symbol name (maximum of 23 characters), a variable type, and a data type. Sixteen parameters can be passed to or from a subroutine. The variable type field in the local variable table defines whether the variable is passed into the subroutine (IN), passed into and out of the subroutine (IN_OUT), or passed out of the subroutine (OUT). Table 6-79 describes the parameter types for a subroutine. To add a parameter entry, place the cursor on the variable type field of the type (IN, IN_OUT, or OUT) that you want to add. Click the right mouse button to get a menu of options. Select the Insert option and then the Row Below option. Another parameter entry of the selected type appears below the current entry.
Table 6-79 Parameter IN Parameter Types for a Subroutine Description Parameters are passed into the subroutine. If the parameter is a direct address (such as VB10), the value at the specified location is passed into the subroutine. If the parameter is an indirect address (such as *AC1), the value at the location pointed to is passed into the subroutine. If the parameter is a data constant (16#1234) or an address (&VB100), the constant or address value is passed into the subroutine. The value at the specified parameter location is passed into the subroutine, and the result value from the subroutine is returned to the same location. Constants (such as 16#1234) and addresses (such as &VB100) are not allowed for input/output parameters. The result value from the subroutine is returned to the specified parameter location. Constants (such as 16#1234) and addresses (such as &VB100) are not allowed as output parameters. Since output parameters do not retain the value assigned by the last execution of the subroutine, you must assign values to outputs each time the subroutine is called. Note that the SET and RESET instructions only affect the value of the Boolean operand(s) when power flow is ON. Any local memory that is not used for passed parameters can be used for temporary storage within the subroutine.
IN_OUT
OUT
TEMP
As shown in Figure 6-37, the data type field in the local variable table defines the size and format of the parameter. The parameter types are listed below:
-
BOOL: This data type is used for single bit inputs and outputs. IN3 in the following example is a Boolean input. BYTE, WORD, DWORD: These data types identify an unsigned input or output parameter of 1, 2, or 4 bytes, respectively. INT, DINT: These data types identify signed input or output y g p p parameters of 2 or 4 b f bytes, respectively.
Figure 6-37 Local Variable Table
REAL: This data type identifies a single precision (4 byte) IEEE floating-point value. STRING: This data type is used as a four-byte pointer to a string. Power Flow: Boolean power flow is allowed only for bit (Boolean) inputs. This declaration tells STEP 7-Micro/WIN that this input parameter is the result of power flow based on a combination of bit logic instructions. Boolean power flow inputs must appear first in the local variable table before any other type input. Only input parameters are allowed to be used this way. The enable input (EN) and the IN1 inputs in the following example use Boolean logic.
205
Example: Subroutine Call There are two STL examples provided. The first set of STL instructions can be displayed only in the STL editor since the BOOL parameters used as power flow inputs are not saved to L memory. The second set of STL instructions can be displayed also in the LAD and FBD editors because L memory is used to save the state of the BOOL inputs parameters that are shown as power flow inputs in LAD and FBD. STL only: Network 1 LD CALL I0.0 SBR_0, I0.1, VB10, I1.0, &VB100, *AC1, VD200
To display correctly in LAD and FBD: Network 1 LD = LD = LD CALL VD200 I0.0 L60.0 I0.1 L63.7 L60.0 SBR_0, L63.7, VB10, I1.0, &VB100, *AC1,
Address parameters such as IN4 (&VB100) are passed into a subroutine as a DWORD (unsigned double word) value. The type of a constant parameter must be specified for the parameter in the calling routine with a constant descriptor in front of the constant value. For example, to pass an unsigned double word constant with a value of 12,345 as a parameter, the constant parameter must be specified as DW#12345. If the constant describer is omitted from the parameter, the constant can be assumed to be a different type. There are no automatic data type conversions performed on the input or output parameters. For example, if the local variable table specifies that a parameter has the data type REAL, and in the calling routine a double word (DWORD) is specified for that parameter, the value in the subroutine will be a double word. When values are passed to a subroutine, they are placed into the local memory of the subroutine. The left-most column of the local variable table shows the local memory address for each passed parameter. Input parameter values are copied to the subroutines local memory when the subroutine is called. Output parameter values are copied from the subroutines local memory to the specified output parameter addresses when the subroutine execution is complete. The data element size and type are represented in the coding of the parameters. Assignment of parameter values to local memory in the subroutine is as follows:
-
Parameter values are assigned to local memory in the order specified by the call subroutine instruction with parameters starting at L.0. One to eight consecutive bit parameter values are assigned to a single byte starting with Lx.0 and continuing to Lx.7. Byte, word, and double word values are assigned to local memory on byte boundaries (LBx, LWx, or LDx).
In the Call Subroutine instruction with parameters, parameters must be arranged in order with input parameters first, followed by input/output parameters, and then followed by output parameters. If you are programming in STL, the format of the CALL instruction is: CALL subroutine number, parameter 1, parameter 2, ... , parameter
206

//This network will be skipped if M14.3 is on. SM0.0 10, VB0
Example: Subroutine Call with strings This example copies a different string literal to a unique address depending upon the given input. The unique address of this string is saved. The string address is then passed to the subroutine by using an indirect address. The data type of the subroutine input parameter is string. The subroutine then moves the string to a different location. A string literal can also be passed to the subroutine. The string reference inside the subroutine is always the same. M A I N Network 1 LD SSCPY AENO MOVD // I0.0 string1, VB100 &VB100, VD0

Communicating over a Network

The S7-200 is designed to solve your communications and networking needs by supporting not only the simplest of networks but also supporting more complex networks. The S7-200 also provides tools that allow you to communicate with other devices, such as printers and weigh scales which use their own communications protocols. STEP 7--Micro/WIN makes setting up and configuring your network simple and straightforward.

Understanding the Basics of S7-200 Network Communications

Selecting the Communication Interface for Your Network
The S7-200 supports many different types of communication networks. The selection of a network is performed within the Set PG/PC Interface property dialog. A selected network is referred to as an Interface. The different types of interfaces available to access these communication networks are:
-
PPI Multi-Master cables CP communication cards Ethernet communication cards

1.
To select the communication interface for STEP 7--Micro/WIN, you perform the following steps. See Figure 7-1. 1. 2. Double-click the icon in the Communications Setup window. Select the interface parameter for STEP 7--Micro/WIN.
2.
Figure 7-1
STEP 7-Micro/WIN Communications Interface
PPI Multi-Master Cables

The S7-200 supports communication through two different types of PPI Multi-Master cables. These cable types permit communication through either an RS-232 or a USB interface. As shown in Figure 7-2, selecting the PPI Multi-Master cable type is simple. You perform the following steps: 1. 2. 3. Click the Properties button on the Set PG/PC Interface property page. Click the Local Connection tab on the Properties page. Select the USB or the desired COM port .

Tip Please note that only one USB cable can be used at a time.
Tip Examples in this manual use the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable. The RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable replaces the previous PC/PPI cable. A USB/PPI Multi-Master cable is also available. Refer to Appendix E for order numbers.

Chapter 7
Using Master and Slave Devices on a PROFIBUS Network

The S7-200 supports a master-slave network and can function as either a master or a slave in a PROFIBUS network, while STEP 7--Micro/WIN is always a master.
Masters
A device that is a master on a network can initiate a request to another device on the network. A master can also respond to requests from other masters on the network. Typical master devices include STEP 7--Micro/WIN, human-machine interface devices such as a TD 200, and S7-300 or S7-400 PLCs. The S7-200 functions as a master when it is requesting information from another S7-200 (peer-to-peer communications).
Slaves
A device that is configured as a slave can only respond to requests from a master device; a slave never initiates a request. For most networks, the S7-200 functions as a slave. As a slave device, the S7-200 responds to requests from a network master device, such as an operator panel or STEP 7--Micro/WIN.
Setting the Baud Rate and Network Address

The speed that data is transmitted across the network is the baud rate, which is typically measured in units of kilobaud (kbaud) or megabaud (Mbaud). The baud rate measures how much data can be transmitted within a given amount of time. For example, a baud rate of 19.2 kbaud describes a transmission rate of 19,200 bits per second. Every device that communicates over a given network must be configured to transmit data at the same baud rate. Therefore, the fastest baud rate for the network is determined by the slowest device connected to the network. Table 7-1 lists the baud rates supported by the S7-200. The network address is a unique number that you assign to each device on the network. The unique network address ensures that the data is transferred to or retrieved from the correct device. The S7-200 supports network addresses from 0 to 126. For an S7-200 with two ports, each port has a network address. Table 7-2 lists the default (factory) settings for the S7-200 devices.
Table 7-1 Network Standard Network Using an EM 277 Freeport Mode Baud Rates Supported by the S7-200 Baud Rate 9.6 kbaud to 187.5 kbaud 9.6 kbaud to 12 Mbaud 1200 baud to 115.2 kbaud

211
Setting the Baud Rate and Network Address for STEP 7-Micro/WIN
You must configure the baud rate and network address for STEP 7--Micro/WIN. The baud rate must be the same as the other devices on the network, and the network address must be unique. Typically, you do not change the network address (0) for STEP 7--Micro/WIN. If your network includes another programming package, you might need to change the network address for STEP 7--Micro/WIN. As shown in Figure 7-3, configuring the baud rate and network address for STEP 7--Micro/WIN is simple. After you click the Communications icon in the Navigation bar, you perform the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. Double-click the icon in the Communications Setup window. Click the Properties button on the Set PG/PC Interface dialog box. Select the network address for STEP 7--Micro/WIN. Select the baud rate for STEP 7--Micro/WIN.

Figure 7-3
Configuring STEP 7-Micro/WIN
Setting the Baud Rate and Network Address for the S7-200
You must also configure the baud rate and network address for the S7-200. The system block of the S7-200 stores the baud rate and network address. After you select the parameters for the S7-200, you must download the system block to the S7-200. The default baud rate for each S7-200 port is 9.6 kbaud, and the default network address is 2. As shown in Figure 7-4, use STEP 7--Micro/WIN to set the baud rate and network address for the S7-200. After you select the System Block icon in the Navigation bar or select the View > Component > System Block menu command, you perform the following steps: 1. 2. 3. Select the network address for the S7-200. Select the baud rate for the S7-200. Download the system block to the S7-200.
Figure 7-4 Configuring the S7-200 CPU
Tip Selection of all baud rate options is permitted. STEP 7--Micro/WIN validates this selection during the download of the System Block. Baud rate selections that would prevent STEP 7--Micro/WIN from communicating with the S7-200 are prevented from being downloaded.
212
Chapter 7
Setting the Remote Address

Before you can download the updated settings to the S7-200, you must set both the communications (COM) port of STEP 7--Micro/WIN (local) and the address of the S7-200 (remote) to match the current setting of the remote S7-200. See Figure 7-5. After you download the updated settings, you may need to reconfigure the PG/PC Interface baud rate setting (if different from the setting used when downloading to the remote S7-200). Refer to Figure 7-3 to configure the baud rate.
Figure 7-5 Configuring STEP 7-Micro/WIN
Searching for the S7-200 CPUs on a Network

You can search for and identify the S7-200 CPUs that are attached to your network. You can also search the network at a specific baud rate or at all baud rates when looking for S7-200s. Only PPI Multi-Master cables permit searching of all baud rates. This feature is not available if communicating through a CP card. The search starts at the baud rate that is currently selected. 1. Open the Communications dialog box and double-click the Refresh icon to start the search. To search all baud rates, select the Search All Baud Rates check box.

213
Selecting the Communications Protocol for Your Network

The following information is an overview of the protocols supported by the S7-200 CPUs.
-
Point-to-Point Interface (PPI) Multi-Point Interface (MPI) PROFIBUS
Based on the Open System Interconnection (OSI) seven-layer model of communications architecture, these protocols are implemented on a token ring network which conforms to the PROFIBUS standard as defined in the European Standard EN 50170. These protocols are asynchronous, character-based protocols with one start bit, eight data bits, even parity, and one stop bit. Communications frames depend upon special start and stop characters, source and destination station addresses, frame length, and a checksum for data integrity. The protocols can run on a network simultaneously without interfering with each other, as long as the baud rate is the same for each protocol. Ethernet is also available for the S7-200 CPU with expansion modules CP243--1 and CP243--1 IT.
PPI Protocol
PPI is a master-slave protocol: the master devices send requests to the slave devices, and the slave devices respond. See Figure 7-7. Slave devices do not initiate messages, but wait until a master sends them a request or polls them for a response. Masters communicate to slaves by means of a shared connection which is managed by the PPI protocol. PPI does not limit the number of masters that can communicate with any one slave; however, you cannot install more than 32 masters on the network.
STEP 7-Micro/WIN: Master
S7-200 HMI: Master
Figure 7-7
PPI Network
S7-200 CPUs can act as master devices while they are in RUN mode, if you enable PPI master mode in the user program. (See the description of SMB30 in Appendix D.) After enabling PPI master mode, you can use the Network Read or the Network Write instructions to read from or write to other S7-200s. While the S7-200 is acting as a PPI master, it still responds as a slave to requests from other masters. PPI Advanced allows network devices to establish a logical connection between the devices. With PPI Advanced, there are a limited number of connections supplied by each device. See Table 7-3 for the number of connections supported by the S7-200. All S7-200 CPUs support both PPI and PPI Advanced protocols, while PPI Advanced is the only PPI protocol supported by the EM 277 module.
Table 7-3 Module S7-200 CPU EM 277 Module Number of Connections for the S7-200 CPU and EM 277 Modules Baud Rate Port 0 9.6 kbaud, 19.2 kbaud, or 187.5 kbaud Port 1 9.6 kbaud, 19.2 kbaud, or 187.5 kbaud 9.6 kbaud to 12 Mbaud Connections 4 4 6 per module
214
Chapter 7
MPI Protocol
MPI allows both master-master and master-slave communications. See Figure 7-8. To communicate with an S7-200 CPU, STEP 7--Micro/WIN establishes a master--slave connection. MPI protocol does not communicate with an S7-200 CPU operating as a master. Network devices communicate by means of separate connections (managed by the MPI protocol) between any two devices. Communication between devices is limited to the number of connections supported by the S7-200 CPU or EM 277 modules. See Table 7-3 for the number of connections supported by the S7-200.
STEP 7-Micro/WIN: Master S7-200: Slave
S7-300: Master
Figure 7-8
MPI Network
For MPI protocol, the S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs use the XGET and XPUT instructions to read and write data to the S7-200 CPU. For information about these instructions, refer to your S7-300 or S7-400 programming manual.
PROFIBUS Protocol
The PROFIBUS protocol is designed for high-speed communications with distributed I/O devices (remote I/O). There are many PROFIBUS devices available from a variety of manufacturers. These devices range from simple input or output modules to motor controllers and PLCs.
S7-200 (EM 277): Slave S7-300: Master
PROFIBUS networks typically have one master and several slave I/O devices. See Figure 7-9. The master device is configured to know what types of I/O slaves are connected and at what addresses. The master initializes the network and verifies that the slave devices on the network match the configuration. The master continuously writes output Figure 7-9 data to the slaves and reads input data from them.
ET 200: Slave
PROFIBUS Network
When a DP master configures a slave device successfully, it then owns that slave device. If there is a second master device on the network, it has very limited access to the slaves owned by the first master.
TCP/IP Protocol
The S7-200 can support TCP/IP Ethernet communication through the use of an Ethernet (CP 243--1) or Internet (CP 243--1 IT) expansion module. Table 7-4 shows the baud rate and number of connections supported by these modules.
Table 7-4 Module Ethernet (CP 243- Module -1) Internet (CP 243- IT) Module -1 Number of Connections for the Ethernet (CP 243-1) and the Internet (CP 243- IT) Modules -1 Baud Rate 10 to 100 Mbaud Connections 8 general purpose connections 1 STEP 7-Micro/WIN connection

Sample Network Configurations Using Only S7-200 Devices

Single-Master PPI Networks
For a simple single-master network, the programming station and the S7-200 CPU are connected by either a PPI Multi-Master cable or by a communications processor (CP) card installed in the programming station. In the sample network at the top of Figure 7-10, the programming station (STEP 7--Micro/WIN) is the network master. In the sample network at the bottom of Figure 7-10, a human-machine interface (HMI) device (such as a TD 200, TP, or OP) is the network master.

In both sample networks, the S7-200 CPU is a slave Figure 7-10 Single-Master PPI Network that responds to requests from the master. For a single-master PPI network, configure STEP 7--Micro/WIN to use PPI protocol. Uncheck the Multiple Master Network and the PPI Advanced check boxes, if available.
Multi-Master PPI Networks

Figure 7-11 shows a sample network of multiple masters with one slave. The programming station (STEP 7--Micro/WIN) uses either a CP card or a PPI Multi-Master cable. STEP 7--Micro/WIN and the HMI device share the network. Both STEP 7--Micro/WIN and the HMI device are masters and must have separate network addresses. When the PPI Multi-Master cable is being used, the cable is a master and uses the network address supplied by STEP 7--Micro/WIN. The S7-200 CPU is a slave. Figure 7-12 shows a PPI network with multiple masters communicating with multiple slaves. In this example, both STEP 7--Micro/WIN and the HMI can request data from any S7-200 CPU slave. STEP 7--Micro/WIN and the HMI device share the network. All devices (masters and slaves) have different network addresses. When the PPI Multi-Master cable is being used, the cable is a master and uses the network address supplied by STEP 7--Micro/WIN. The S7-200 CPUs are slaves.

Complex PPI Networks

Figure 7-13 shows a sample network that uses multiple masters with peer-to-peer communications. STEP 7--Micro/WIN and the HMI device read and write over the network to the S7-200 CPUs, and the S7-200 CPUs use the Network Read and Network Write instructions to read and write to each other (peer-to-peer communications).

In the sample network shown in Figure 7-15, the S7-300 uses the XPUT and XGET instructions to communicate with an S7-200 CPU. The S7-300 cannot communicate with an S7-200 CPU in master mode. To communicate with the S7 CPUs, configure STEP 7--Micro/WIN to use PPI protocol and check the Multiple Master Network and the PPI Advanced check boxes if available. If you are using a PPI Multi-Master cable, the Multiple Master Network and PPI Advanced check boxes are ignored.

Networks with Baud Rates Above 187.5 kbaud

For baud rates above 187.5 kbaud, the S7-200 CPU must use an EM 277 module for connecting to the network. See Figure 7-16. STEP 7--Micro/WIN must be connected by a communications processor (CP) card. In this configuration, the S7-300 can communicate with the S7-200s, using the XPUT and XGET instructions, and the HMI can monitor either the S7-200s or the S7-300. The EM 277 is always a slave device. STEP 7--Micro/WIN can program or monitor either STEP 7-Micro/WIN S7-200 CPU through the attached EM 277. To communicate with an EM 277 above 187.5 kbaud, configure STEP 7--Micro/WIN to use MPI protocol S7-200 EM 277 S7-200 EM 277 with a CP card.

Configure STEP 7--Micro/WIN to use PROFIBUS protocol for a CP card. Select the DP or Standard profile if there are only DP devices present on the network. Select the Universal (DP/FMS) profile for all master devices if there are any non--DP devices on the network, such as TD 200s. All masters on the network must be set up to use the same PROFIBUS profile (DP, Standard or Universal) for the network to operate. The PPI Multi-master cables will function on networks up to 187.5 kbaud only if all master devices are using the Universal (DP/FMS) profile.
Sample Network Configurations Using Ethernet and/or Internet Devices

In the configuration shown in Figure 7-19, an Ethernet connection is used to allow STEP 7--Micro/WIN to communicate with either of the S7-200 CPUs which are using an Ethernet (CP 243--1) module or an Internet (CP 243--1 IT) module. The S7-200 CPUs can exchange data through the Ethernet connection. A standard browser program running on the PC with STEP 7--Micro/WIN can be used to access the home page of the Internet (CP 243--1 IT) module. For Ethernet networks, you configure STEP 7--Micro/WIN to use TCP/IP protocol.

Adjusting the Port Settings of Your Computer for PPI Multi-Master

If you are using the USB/PPI Multi-Master cable or the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable in PPI mode, adjustment of your computers port settings is not necessary and operation in multi-master networks is possible with the Windows NT operating system. If you are using the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable in PPI/Freeport mode for communication between an S7-200 CPU and STEP 7--Micro/WIN on an operating system that supports the PPI Multi-Master configuration (Windows NT does not support the PPI Multi-Master), you might need to adjust the port settings on your computer: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop and select the Properties menu command. Select the Device Manager tab. For Windows 2000, select first the Hardware tab and then Device Manager button. Double-click the Ports (COM & LPT). Select the communications port that you are currently using (for example, COM1). On the Port Settings tab, click the Advanced button. Set the Receive Buffer and the Transmit Buffer controls to the lowest value (1). Click OK to apply the change, close all the windows, and reboot the computer to make the new settings active.

Building Your Network

General Guidelines
Always install appropriate surge suppression devices for any wiring that could be subject to lightning surges. Avoid placing low-voltage signal wires and communications cables in the same wire tray with AC wires and high-energy, rapidly switched DC wires. Always route wires in pairs, with the neutral or common wire paired with the hot or signal-carrying wire. The communications port of the S7-200 CPU is not isolated. Consider using an RS-485 repeater or an EM 277 module to provide isolation for your network. Caution Interconnecting equipment with different reference potentials can cause unwanted currents to flow through the interconnecting cable. These unwanted currents can cause communications errors or can damage equipment. Be sure all equipment that you are about to connect with a communications cable either shares a common circuit reference or is isolated to prevent unwanted current flows. See the information about grounding and circuit reference points for using isolated circuits in Chapter 3.
Determining the Distances, Transmission Rate, and Cable for Your Network
As shown in Table 7-5, the maximum length of a network segment is determined by two factors: isolation (using an RS-485 repeater) and baud rate. Isolation is required when you connect devices at different ground potentials. Different ground potentials can exist when grounds are physically separated by a long distance. Even over short distances, load currents of heavy machinery can cause a difference in ground potential.
Table 7-5 Baud Rate 9.6 kbaud to 187.5 kbaud 500 kbaud 1 Mbaud to 1.5 Mbaud 3 Mbaud to 12 Mbaud

The maximum distance allowed without using an isolator or repeater is 50 m. You measure this distance from the first node to the last node in the segment.
221
Using Repeaters on the Network

An RS-485 repeater provides bias and termination for the network segment. You can use a repeater for the following purposes:
-
To increase the length of a network: Adding a repeater to your network allows you to extend the network another 50 m. If you connect two repeaters with no other nodes in between (as shown in Figure 7-21), you can extend the network to the maximum cable length for the baud rate. You can use up to 9 repeaters in series on a network, but the total length of the network must not exceed 9600 m. To add devices to a network: Each segment can have a maximum of 32 devices connected up to 50 m at 9600 baud. Using a repeater allows you to add another segment (32 devices) to the network. To electrically isolate different network segments: Isolating the network improves the quality of the transmission by separating the network segments which might be at different ground potentials.
A repeater on your network counts as one of the nodes on a segment, even though it is not assigned a network address.

Connector Pin Assignments

The communications ports on the S7-200 CPU are RS-485 compatible on a nine-pin subminiature D connector in accordance with the PROFIBUS standard as defined in the European Standard EN 50170. Table 7-7 shows the connector that provides the physical connection for the communications port and describes the communications port pin assignments.

Biasing and Terminating the Network Cable

Siemens provides two types of network connectors that you can use to easily connect multiple devices to a network: a standard network connector (see Table 7-7 for the pin assignments), and a connector that includes a programming port, which allows you to connect a programming station or an HMI device to the network without disturbing any existing network connections. The programming port connector passes all signals (including the power pins) from the S7-200 through to the programming port, which is especially useful for connecting devices that draw power from the S7-200 (such as a TD 200). Both connectors have two sets of terminal screws to allow you to attach the incoming and outgoing network cables. Both connectors also have switches to bias and terminate the network selectively. Figure 7-22 shows typical biasing and termination for the cable connectors.

Choosing a PPI Multi-Master Cable or a CP Card for Your Network

As shown in Table 7-8, STEP 7--Micro/WIN supports the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable and the USB/PPI Multi-Master cable as well as several CP cards that allow the programming station (your computer or SIMATIC programming device) to act as a network master. For baud rates up to 187.5 kbaud the PPI Multi-Master cables provide the simplest and most cost-effective connection between STEP 7--Micro/WIN and one S7-200 CPU or an S7-200 network. Two types of PPI Multi-Master cables are available and both can be used for local connection between STEP 7--Micro/WIN and an S7-200 network. The USB/PPI Multi-Master cable is a plug and play device that can be used with PCs that support the USB Version 1.1. It provides isolation between your PC and the S7-200 network while supporting PPI communication at baud rates up to 187.5 kbaud. There are no switches to set; just connect the cable, choose the PC/PPI cable as the interface, select PPI protocol, and set the port to USB in the PC Connection tab. Only one USB/PPI Multi-Master cable can be connected to the PC at a time for use by STEP 7--Micro/WIN. The RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable has eight DIP switches: two of these switches are used to configure the cable for operation with STEP 7--Micro/WIN.
-
If you are connecting the cable to the PC, select PPI mode (switch 5 = 1) and Local operation (switch 6 = 0). If you are connecting the cable to a modem, select PPI mode (switch 5 = 1) and Remote operation (switch 6 = 1).
The cable provides isolation between your PC and the S7-200 network. Choose the PC/PPI cable as the interface and select the RS-232 port that you want to use under the PC Connection tab. Under the PPI tab, select the station address and the network baud rate. You do not need to make any other selections because protocol selection is automatic with the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable. Both the USB/PPI and the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cables have LEDs that provide an indication of the communication activity with the PC as well as network communication activity.
-
The Tx LED indicates that the cable is transmitting information to the PC. The Rx LED indicates that the cable is receiving information from the PC. The PPI LED indicates that the cable is transmitting data on the network. Since the Multi-Master cables are token holders, the PPI LED is on continuously once communication has been initialized by STEP 7--Micro/WIN. The PPI LED is turned off when the connection with STEP 7--Micro/WIN is closed. The PPI LED will also flash at 1 Hz rate while waiting to join the network.
The CP cards contain dedicated hardware to assist the programming station in managing a multi-master network and can support different protocols at several baud rates. Each CP card provides a single RS-485 port for connection to the network. The CP 5511 PCMCIA card has an adapter that provides the 9-pin D port. You connect one end of the cable to the RS-485 port of the card and connect the other end to a programming port connector on your network. If you are using a CP card with PPI communications, STEP 7--Micro/WIN will not support two different applications running on the same CP card at the same time. You must close the other application before connecting STEP 7--Micro/WIN to the network through the CP card. If you are using MPI or PROFIBUS communication, multiple STEP 7--Micro/WIN applications are permitted to communicate over the network at the same time. Caution Using a non-isolated RS-485-to-RS-232 converter can damage the RS-232 port of your computer. The Siemens RS-232/PPI and USB/PPI Multi-Master cables (order number 6ES7 901--3CB30--0XA0 or 6ES7 901--3DB30--0XA0, respectively) provide electrical isolation between the RS-485 port on the S7-200 CPU and the RS-232 or USB port that connects to your computer. If you do not use the Siemens Multi-Master cable, you must provide isolation for the RS-232 port of your computer.

The Multi-Master cables provide electrical isolation between the RS-485 port (on the S7-200 CPU) and the port that connects to your computer. Using a non-isolated RS-485-to-RS-232 converter could damage the RS-232 port of your computer.
Using HMI Devices on Your Network

The S7-200 CPU supports many types of HMI devices from Siemens and also from other manufacturers. While some of these HMI devices (such as the TD 200) do not allow you to select the communications protocol used by the device, other devices (such as the OP and TP product lines) allow you to select the communications protocol for that device. If your HMI device allows you to select the communications protocol, consider the following guidelines:
-
For an HMI device connected to the communications port of the S7-200 CPU, with no other devices on the network, select either the PPI or the MPI protocol for the HMI device. For an HMI device connected to an EM 277 PROFIBUS module, select either the MPI or the PROFIBUS protocol. --If the network with the HMI device includes S7-300 or S7-400 PLCs, select the MPI protocol for the HMI device. If the network with the HMI device is a PROFIBUS network, select the PROFIBUS protocol for the HMI device and select a profile consistent with the other masters on the PROFIBUS network.
For an HMI device connected to the communications port of the S7-200 CPU which has been configured as a master, select the PPI protocol for the HMI device. Advanced PPI is optimal. The MPI and PROFIBUS protocols do not support the S7-200 CPU as a master.
For more information about how to configure the HMI device, refer to the specific manual for your device (see Table 7-9). These manuals are included in the STEP 7--Micro/WIN documentation CD.

Creating User-Defined Protocols with Freeport Mode

Freeport mode allows your program to control the communications port of the S7-200 CPU. You can use Freeport mode to implement user-defined communications protocols to communicate with many types of intelligent devices. Freeport mode supports both ASCII and binary protocols. To enable Freeport mode, you use special memory bytes SMB30 (for Port 0) and SMB130 (for Port 1). Your program uses the following to control the operation of the communications port:
-
Transmit instruction (XMT) and the transmit interrupt: The Transmit instruction allows the S7-200 to transmit up to 255 characters from the COM port. The transmit interrupt notifies your program in the S7-200 when the transmission has been completed. Receive character interrupt: The receive character interrupt notifies the user program that a character has been received on the COM port. Your program can then act on that character, based on the protocol being implemented. Receive instruction (RCV): The Receive instruction receives the entire message from the COM port and then generates an interrupt for your program when the message has been completely received. You use the SM memory of the S7-200 to configure the Receive instruction for starting and stopping the receiving of messages, based on defined conditions. The Receive instruction allows your program to start or stop a message based on specific characters or time intervals. Most protocols can be implemented with the Receive instruction.
Freeport mode is active only when the S7-200 is in RUN mode. Setting the S7-200 to STOP mode halts all Freeport communications, and the communications port then reverts to the PPI protocol with the settings which were configured in the system block of the S7-200.

Using the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master Cable and Freeport Mode with RS-232 Devices
You can use the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable and the Freeport communications functions to connect the S7-200 CPUs to many devices that are compatible with the RS-232 standard. The cable must be set to PPI/Freeport mode (switch 5 = 0) for Freeport operation. Switch 6 selects either Local mode (DCE) (switch 6 = 0), or Remote mode (DTE) (switch 6 = 1). The RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable is in Transmit mode when data is transmitted from the RS-232 port to the RS-485 port. The cable is in Receive mode when it is idle or is transmitting data from the RS-485 port to the RS-232 port. The cable changes from Receive to Transmit mode immediately when it detects characters on the RS-232 transmit line. The RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable supports baud rates between 1200 baud and 115.2 kbaud. Use the DIP switches on the housing of the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable to configure the cable for the correct baud rate. Table 7-11 shows the baud rates and switch positions. The cable switches back to Receive mode Table 7-11 Turnaround Time and Settings when the RS-232 transmit line is in the idle Baud Rate Turnaround Time Settings (1 = state for a period of time defined as the Up) turnaround time of the cable. The baud rate 115200 0.15 ms 110 selection of the cable determines the turnaround time, as shown in Table 7-11. 57600 0.3 ms 111 If you are using the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable in a system where Freeport communications is used, the program in the S7-200 must comprehend the turnaround time for the following situations:
38400 19200 9600 4800 2400 1200 0.5 ms 1.0 ms 2.0 ms 4.0 ms 7.0 ms 14.0 ms 000 001 010 011 100 101
The S7-200 responds to messages transmitted by the RS-232 device. After the S7-200 receives a request message from the RS-232 device, the S7-200 must delay the transmission of a response message for a period of time greater than or equal to the turnaround time of the cable.
The RS-232 device responds to messages transmitted from the S7-200. After the S7-200 receives a response message from the RS-232 device, the S7-200 must delay the transmission of the next request message for a period of time greater than or equal to the turnaround time of the cable.
In both situations, the delay allows the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable sufficient time to switch from Transmit mode to Receive mode so that data can be transmitted from the RS-485 port to the RS-232 port.
227
Using Modems and STEP 7-Micro/WIN with Your Network

STEP 7--Micro/WIN version 3.2 or later uses the standard Windows Phone and Modem Options for selecting and configuring telephone modems. The Phone and Modem Options are under the Windows Control Panel. Using the Windows setup options for modems allows you to:
-
Use most internal and external modems supported by Windows. Use the standard configurations for most modems supported by Windows. Use the standard Windows dialing rules for selection of locations, country and area code support, pulse or tone dialing, and calling card support. Use higher baud rates when communicating to the EM 241 Modem module.
Use the Windows control panel to display the Modem Properties dialog box. This dialog box allows you to configure the local modem. You select your modem from the list of modems supported by Windows. If your modem type is not listed in the Windows modem dialog box, select a type that is the closest match for your modem, or contact your modem vendor to acquire the modem configuration files for Windows.
Figure 7-23 Configuring the Local Modem
STEP 7--Micro/WIN also lets you use radio and cellular modems. These modem types do not appear in the Windows Modem Properties dialog box, but are available when configuring a connection for STEP 7--Micro/WIN.
Configuring a Modem Connection

A connection associates an identifying name with the physical properties of the connection. For a telephone modem these properties include the type of modem, 10 or 11 bit protocol selections, and timeouts. For cellular modems the connection allows setting of a PIN and other parameters. Radio modem properties include selections for baud rate, parity, flow control and other parameters.

This eliminates the need to install a null modem adapter between the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable and the modem. Depending on the connector on the modem, you might still need to use a 9-pin-to-25-pin adapter. Figure 7-30 shows the pin assignment for a common modem adapter. See Appendix A for more information about the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable. The pin numbers and functions for the RS-485 and RS-232 ports of the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable in Local (DCE) mode are shown in Table A-69. Table A-70 shows the pin numbers and functions for the RS-485 and RS-232 ports of the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable in Remote (DTE) mode. The RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable supplies RTS only when it is in Remote (DTE) mode.
Using a Radio Modem with the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master Cable

You can use an RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable to connect the RS-232 communications port of a radio modem to an S7-200 CPU. However, operation with radio modems is not the same as it is with telephone modems.
PPI Mode
With the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable set for PPI mode (switch 5 = 1), you would normally select remote mode (switch 6 = 1) for operation with a modem. However, selecting the remote mode causes the cable to send the character string AT and wait for the modem to reply with OK on each power up. While telephone modems use this sequence to establish the baud rate, radio modems do not generally accept AT commands. Therefore, for operation with radio modems you must select local mode (switch 6 = 0) and use a null modem adapter between the RS-232 connector of the cable and the RS-232 port on your radio modem. Null modem adapters are available in either 9-pin-to-9 pin or 9-pin-to-25 pin configurations. Configure the radio modem to operate at 9.6, 19.2, 38.4, 57.6 or 115.2 kbaud. The RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable will automatically adjust to any one of these baud rates on the first character transmitted by the radio modem.
PPI/Freeport Mode
With the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable set for PPI/Freeport mode (switch 5 = 0), select remote mode (switch 6 = 1) for operation with a radio modem. Configure the cable so that it will not send any AT commands to setup the modem. Switches 1, 2, and 3 on the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable set the baud rate. See Figure 7--29. Select the baud rate setting that corresponds to the baud rate of the PLC and the radio modem.

Advanced Topics
Optimizing the Network Performance
The following factors affect network performance (with baud rate and number of masters having the greatest effect):
-
Baud rate: Operating the network at the highest baud rate supported by all devices has the greatest effect on the network. Number of masters on the network: Minimizing the number of masters on a network also increases the performance of the network. Each master on the network increases the overhead requirements of the network; having fewer masters lessens the overhead. Selection of master and slave addresses: The addresses of the master devices should be set so that all of the masters are at sequential addresses with no gaps between addresses. Whenever there is an address gap between masters, the masters continually check the addresses in the gap to see if there is another master wanting to come online. This checking requires time and increases the overhead of the network. If there is no address gap between masters, no checking is done and so the overhead is minimized. You can set the slave addresses to any value without affecting network performance, as long as the slaves are not between masters. Slaves between masters increase the network overhead in the same way as having address gaps between masters. Gap update factor (GUF): Used only when an S7-200 CPU is operating as a PPI master, the GUF tells the S7-200 how often to check the address gap for other masters. You use STEP 7--Micro/WIN to set the GUF in the CPU configuration for a CPU port. This configures the S7-200 to check address gaps only on a periodic basis. For GUF=1, the S7-200 checks the address gap every time it holds the token; for GUF=2, the S7-200 checks the address gap once every two times it holds the token. If there are address gaps between masters, a higher GUF reduces the network overhead. If there are no address gaps between masters, the GUF has no effect on performance. Setting a large number for the GUF causes long delays in bringing masters online, because the addresses are checked less frequently. The default GUF setting is 10. Highest station address (HSA): Used only when an S7-200 CPU is operating as a PPI master, the HSA defines the highest address at which a master should look for another master. You use STEP 7--Micro/WIN to set the HSA in the CPU configuration for a CPU port. Setting an HSA limits the address gap which must be checked by the last master (highest address) in the network. Limiting the size of the address gap minimizes the time required to find and bring online another master. The highest station address has no effect on slave addresses: masters can still communicate with slaves which have addresses greater than the HSA. As a general rule, set the highest station address on all masters to the same value. This address should be greater than or equal to the highest master address. The default value for the HSA is 31.
Calculating the Token Rotation Time for a Network

In a token-passing network, the only station that can initiate communications is the station that holds the token. The token rotation time (the time required for the token to be circulated to each of the masters in the logical ring) measures the performance of your network. Figure 7-31 provides a sample network as an example for calculating the token rotation time for a multiple-master network. In this example, the TD 200 (station 3) communicates with the CPU 222 (station 2), the TD 200 (station 5) communicates with the CPU 222 (station 4), and so on. The two CPU 224 modules use the Network Read and Network Write instructions to gather data from the other S7-200s: CPU 224 (station 6) sends messages to stations 2, 4, and 8, and the CPU 224 (station 8) sends messages to stations 2, 4, and 6. In this network, there are six master stations (the four TD 200 units and the two CPU 224 modules) and two slave stations (the two CPU 222 modules).

Example of a Token-Passing Network
In order for a master to send a message, it must hold the token. For example: When station 3 has the token, it initiates a request message to station 2 and then it passes the token to station 5. Station 5 then initiates a request message to station 4 and then passes the token to station 6. Station 6 then initiates a message to station 2, 4, or 8, and passes the token to station 7. This process of initiating a message and passing the token continues around the logical ring from station 3 to station 5, station 6, station 7, station 8, station 9, and finally back to station 3. The token must rotate completely around the logical ring in order for a master to be able to send a request for information. For a logical ring of six stations, sending one request message per token hold to read or write one double-word value (four bytes of data), the token rotation time is approximately 900 ms at 9600 baud. Increasing the number of bytes of data accessed per message or increasing the number of stations increases the token rotation time. The token rotation time is determined by how long each station holds the token. You can determine the token rotation time for your multiple-master network by adding the times that each master holds the token. If the PPI master mode has been enabled (under the PPI protocol on your network), you can send messages to other S7-200s by using the Network Read and Network Write instructions with the S7-200. If you send messages using these instructions, you can use the following formula to calculate the approximate token rotation time, based on the following assumptions: each station sends one request per token hold, the request is either a read or write request for consecutive data locations, there is no conflict for use of the one communications buffer in the S7-200, and there is no S7-200 that has a scan time longer than about 10 ms.
Token hold time (Thold) = (128 overhead + n data char) x 11 bits/char x 1/baud rate Token rotation time (Trot) = Thold of master 1 + Thold of master 2 + . . . + Thold of master m where n is the number of data characters (bytes) m is the number of masters
The following equations calculate the rotation times (one bit time equals the duration of one signaling period) for the example shown in Figure 7-31: T (token hold time) T (token rotation time) = = = = (128 + 4 char) x 11 bits/char x 1/9600 bit times/s 151.25 ms per master 151.25 ms per master 6 masters 907.5 ms

Comparing Token Rotation Times

Table 7-12 shows comparisons of the token rotation time versus the number of stations, amount of data, and the baud rate. The times are figured for a case where you use the Network Read and Network Write instructions with the S7-200 CPU or other master devices.

Understanding the Connections That Link the Network Devices

Network devices communicate through individual connections, which are private links between the master and slave devices. As shown in Figure 7-32, the communications protocols differ in how the connections are handled:
-
The PPI protocol utilizes one shared connection among all of the network devices. The PPI Advanced, MPI, and PROFIBUS protocols utilize separate connections between any two devices communicating with each other.
When using PPI Advanced, MPI, or PROFIBUS, a second master cannot interfere with a connection that has been established between a master and a slave. S7-200 CPUs and EM 277s always reserve one connection for STEP 7--Micro/WIN and one connection for HMI devices. Other master devices cannot use these reserved connections. This ensures that you can always connect at least one programming station and at least one HMI device to the S7-200 CPU or EM 277 when the master is using a protocol that supports connections, such as PPI Advanced.

Managing the Communications Connections
235
As shown in Table 7-13, the S7-200 CPU or EM 277 provide a specific number of connections. Each port (Port 0 and Port 1) of an S7-200 CPU supports up to four separate connections. (This allows a maximum of eight connections for the S7-200 CPU.) This is in addition to the shared PPI connection. An EM 277 supports six connections. Each port reserves one connection for a programmer and one connection for an operator panel (OP or TP). The remaining connections are available for general use.

Working with Complex Networks

For the S7-200, complex networks typically have multiple S7-200 masters that use the Network Read (NETR) and Network Write (NETW) instructions to communicate with other devices on a PPI network. Complex networks typically present special problems that can block a master from communicating with a slave. If the network is running at a lower baud rate (such as 9.6 kbaud or 19.2 kbaud), then each master completes the transaction (read or write) before passing the token. At 187.5 kbaud, however, the master issues a request to a slave and then passes the token, which leaves an outstanding request at the slave. Figure 7-33 shows a network with potential communications conflicts. In this network, Station 1, Station 2, and Station 3 are masters, using the Network Read or Network Write instructions to communicate with Station 4. The Network Read and Network Write instructions use PPI protocol so all of the S7-200s share the single PPI connection in Station 4.
Station 1 Master Station 2 Master Station 3 Master In this example, Station 1 issues a request to Station 4. For baud rates above 19.2 kbaud, Station 1 then passes the token to Station 2. If Station 2 attempts to issue a request to Station 4, the request from Station 2 is rejected because the request from Station 1 is still present. All requests Station 4 Slave to Station 4 will be rejected until Station 4 completes the response to Station 1. Only after the response has been completed can another master i h b l t d th t issue a Figure 7-33 Communications Conflict request to Station 4.
To avoid this conflict for the communications port on Station 4, consider making Station 4 the only master on the network, as shown in Figure 7-34. Station 4 then issues the read/write requests to the other S7-200s. Not only does this configuration ensure that there is no conflict in communications, but it also reduces the overhead caused by having multiple masters and allows the network to operate more efficiently.

Chapter 7
For some applications, however, reducing Table 7-14 the number of masters on the network is not an option. When there are several HSA masters, you must manage the token HSA=15 rotation time and ensure that the network does not exceed the target token rotation HSA=31 time. (The token rotation time is the amount HSA=63 of time that elapses from when a master passes the token until that master receives HSA=126 the token again.)
HSA and Target Token Rotation Time 9.6 kbaud 0.613 s 1.040 s 1.890 s 3.570 s 19.2 kbaud 0.307 s 0.520 s 0.950 s 1.790 s 187.5 kbaud 31 ms 53 ms 97 ms 183 ms
If the time required for the token to return to the master is greater than a target token rotation time, then the master is not allowed to issue a request. The master can issue a request only when the actual token rotation time is less than the target token rotation time. The highest station address (HSA) and the baud rate settings for the S7-200 determine the target token rotation time. Table 7-14 lists target rotation times. For the slower baud rates, such as 9.6 kbaud and 19.2 kbaud, the master waits for the response to its request before passing the token. Because processing the request/response cycle can take a relatively long time in terms of the scan time, there is a high probability that every master on the network can have a request ready to transmit every time it holds the token. The actual token rotation time would then increase, and some masters might not be able to process any requests. In some situations, a master might only rarely be allowed to process requests. For example: Consider a network of 10 masters that transmit 1 byte at 9.6 kbaud that is configured with an HSA of 15. For this example, each of the masters always has a message ready to send. As shown in Table 7-14, the target rotation time for this network is 0.613 s. However, based on the performance data listed in Table 7-12, the actual token rotation time required for this network is 1.48 s. Because the actual token rotation time is greater than the target token rotation time, some of the masters will not be allowed to transmit a message until some later rotation of the token. You have two basic options for improving a situation where the actual token rotation time is greater than the target token rotation time:
-
You can reduce actual token rotation time by reducing the number of masters on your network. Depending on your application, this might not be a feasible solution. You can increase the target token rotation time by increasing the HSA for all of the master devices on the network.
Increasing the HSA can cause a different problem for your network by affecting the amount of time that it takes for a S7-200 to switch to master mode and enter the network. If you use a timer to ensure that the Network Read or Network Write instruction completes its execution within a specified time, the delay in initializing master mode and adding the S7-200 as a master on the network can cause the instruction to time out. You can minimize the delay in adding masters by reducing the Gap Update Factor (GUF) for all masters on the network. Because of the manner in which requests are posted to and left at the slave for 187.5 kbaud, you should allow extra time when selecting the target token rotation time. For 187.5 kbaud, the actual token rotation time should be approximately half of the target token rotation time. To determine the token rotation time, use the performance data in Table 7-12 to determine the time required for completing the Network Read and Network Write operations. To calculate the time required for HMI devices (such as the TD 200), use the performance data for transferring 16 bytes. Calculate the token rotation time by adding the time for each device on the network. Adding all of the times together describes a worst-case scenario where all devices want to process a request during the same token rotation. This defines the maximum token rotation time required for the network.
237
For example: Consider a network running at 9.6 kbaud with four TD 200s and four S7-200s, with each S7-200 writing 10 bytes of data to another S7-200 every second. Use Table 7-12 to calculate the specific transfer times for the network: 4 TD 200 devices transferring 16 bytes of data = 4 S7-200s transferring 10 bytes of data = Total token rotation time = 0.66 s 0.63 s 1.29 s
To allow enough time for this network to process all requests during one token rotation, set the HSA to 63. (See Table 7-14.) Selecting a target token rotation (1.89 s) that is greater than the maximum token rotation time (1.29 s) ensures that every device can transfer data on every rotation of the token. To help improve the reliability of a multi-master network, you should also consider the following actions:
-
Change the update rate for the HMI devices to allow more time between updates. For example, change the update rate for a TD 200 from As fast as possible to Once per second. Reduce the number of requests (and the network overhead for processing the requests) by combining the operations of Network Read or Network Write operations. For example, instead of using two Network Read operations that read 4 bytes each, use one Network Read operation that reads 8 bytes. The time to process the two requests of 4 bytes is much greater than the time to process one request for 8 bytes. Change the update rate of the S7-200 masters so that they do not attempt to update faster than the token rotation time.

Configuring the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master Cable for Remote Operation

HyperTerminal as a Configuration Tool
If STEP 7--Micro/WIN is not available for you to use to configure the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable for remote operation, you can use HyperTerminal or any other dumb terminal package. The RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable provides built-in menus to guide you as you configure the cable for remote operation. While configuring the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable with HyperTerminal, you must connect the RS-485 connector to an S7-200 CPU. This is the source of the 24V power required for the cable to operate. Be sure to supply power to the S7-200 CPU. To invoke HyperTerminal on your PC, click on Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal. HyperTerminal application launches and prompts for a Connection Description. You must supply a name for the connection (for example, Multi-Master). Click OK. You can select an icon or accept the default icon provided with the new connection. See Figure 7-35.
Figure 7-35 HyperTerminal Connection Description
The Connect To screen is displayed. Select the communications port that you will be using and click OK. The next screen displayed is COMx Properties. Accept the default and click OK. See Figure 7-36.

After setting the switches as indicated, select continue. The resulting HyperTerminal display is shown in Figure 7-42. The remote modem (the one connected to the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable) should be set to factory defaults. With the remote modem set to factory defaults, enter the AT strings required to program the modem for operation with the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable. Typically, the only string that needs to be sent is ATS0=1, which configures the modem to auto--answer incoming calls on the first ring.
Figure 7-42 HyperTerminal - Remote Modem -
If you are using a cell modem that requires a PIN, use the second AT command to supply the PIN (refer to your modem manual for the AT commands supported by your modem). If you need to modify the AT commands, make the selection and enter the commands required as you are prompted for them. The prompts include example AT command strings to help you with the formatting of the commands. The RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable will send these AT strings to the modem each time the cable powers up. Make sure that the modem is powered up before or very close to the same time the cable is powered up. Also, if you power cycle the modem, be sure to power cycle the cable. This allows the cable to properly configure the modem and operate at the highest available baud rate.
241
The HyperTerminal displays in Figure 7-43 show how to enter the AT commands. If you do not need to supply a second AT command at the prompt, press the ENTER key. This returns you to the selection for modifying the AT commands or exiting. If you finished entering the AT commands select Exit. After exiting the HyperTerminal configuration of the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable, disconnect the cable from the PC and connect it to the modem. Power cycle both the modem and the cable. You are now ready to use the cable for remote operation in a PPI multi-master network.

Features for Debugging Your Program

STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides several features to help you debug your program: bookmarks, cross reference tables, and run mode edits.
Using Bookmarks for Easy Program Access

You can set bookmarks in your program to make it easy to move back and forth between designated (bookmarked) lines of a long program. You can move to the next or the previous bookmarked line of your program.
Using the Cross Reference Table to Check Your Program References

The cross reference table allows you to display the cross references and element usage information for your program.
Cross Reference
The cross reference table identifies all operands used in the program, and identifies the program block, network or line location, and instruction context of the operand each time it is used. You can toggle between symbolic and absolute view to change the representation of all operands.
Figure 8-1
Cross Reference Table
Tip Double-clicking on an element in the cross reference table takes you to that part of your program or block.
Editing Your Program in RUN Mode

The S7-200 CPUs Rel. 2.0 (and higher) models support RUN mode edits. The RUN mode edit capability is intended to allow you to make small changes to a user program with minimal disturbance to the process being controlled by the program. However, implementing this capability also allows massive program changes that could be disruptive or even dangerous. Warning When you download changes to an S7-200 in RUN mode, the changes immediately affect process operation. Changing the program in RUN mode can result in unexpected system operation, which could cause death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. Only authorized personnel who understand the effects of RUN mode edits on system operation should perform a RUN mode edit. To perform a program edit in RUN mode, the online S7-200 CPU must support RUN mode edits and must be in RUN mode. 1. 2. 3. Select the Debug > Program Edit in RUN menu command. If the project is different than the program in the S7-200, you are prompted to save it. The RUN mode edit can be performed only on the program in the S7-200. STEP 7--Micro/WIN alerts you about editing your program in RUN mode and prompts you to either continue or to cancel the operation. If you click Continue, STEP 7--Micro/WIN uploads the program from the S7-200. You can now edit your program in RUN mode. No restrictions on edits are enforced.
244
Chapter 8
Tip Positive (EU) and Negative (ED) transition instructions are shown with an operand. To view information about edge instructions, select the Cross Reference icon in the View. The Edge Usage tab lists numbers for the edge instructions in your program. Be careful not to assign duplicate edge numbers as you edit your program.
Downloading the Program in RUN Mode

RUN-mode editing allows you to download only your program block while the S7-200 is in RUN mode. Before downloading the program block in RUN mode, consider the effect of a RUN-mode modification on the operation of the S7-200 for the following situations:
-
If you deleted the control logic for an output, the S7-200 maintains the last state of the output until the next power cycle or transition to STOP mode. If you deleted a high-speed counter or pulse output functions which were running, the high-speed counter or pulse output continues to run until the next power cycle or transition to STOP mode. If you deleted an Attach Interrupt instruction but did not delete the interrupt routine, the S7-200 continues to execute the interrupt routine until a power cycle or a transition to STOP mode. Likewise, if you deleted a Detach Interrupt instruction, the interrupts are not shut down until the next power cycle or transition to STOP mode. If you added an Attach Interrupt instruction that is conditional on the first scan bit, the event is not activated until the next power cycle or STOP-to-RUN mode transition. If you deleted an Enable Interrupt instruction, the interrupts continue to operate until the next power cycle or transition from RUN to STOP mode. If you modified the table address of a receive box and the receive box is active at the time that the S7-200 switches from the old program to the modified program, the S7-200 continues to write the data received to the old table address. Network Read and Network Write instructions function in the same manner. Any logic that is conditional on the state of the first scan bit will not be executed until the next power cycle or transition from STOP to RUN mode. The first scan bit is set only by the transition to RUN mode and is not affected by a RUN-mode edit.
Tip Before you can download your program in RUN mode, the S7-200 must support RUN mode edits, the program must compile with no errors, and the communications between STEP 7--Micro/WIN and the S7-200 must be error-free. You can download only the program block. To download your program in RUN mode, click on the Download button or select the File > Download menu command. If the program compiles successfully, STEP 7--Micro/WIN downloads the program block to the S7-200.
Exiting RUN-Mode Edit

To exit RUN-mode editing, select the Debug > Program Edit in RUN menu command and deselect the checkmark. If you have changes that have not been saved, STEP 7--Micro/WIN prompts you either to continue editing, to download changes and exit RUN-mode editing, or to exit without downloading.
245
Displaying the Program Status

STEP 7--Micro/WIN allows you to monitor the status of the user program as it is being executed. When you monitor the program status, the program editor displays the status of instruction operand values. To display the status, click the Program Status button or select the Debug > Program Status menu command.
Displaying the Status of the Program in LAD and FBD

STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides two options for displaying the status of LAD and FBD programs:
-
End of scan status: STEP 7--Micro/WIN acquires the values for the status display across multiple scan cycles and then updates the status screen display. The status display does not reflect the actual status of each element at the time of execution. The end-of-scan status does not show status for L memory or for the accumulators. For end of scan status, the status values are updated in all of the CPU operating modes. Execution status: STEP 7--Micro/WIN displays the values of the networks as the elements are executed in the S7-200. For displaying the execution status, select the Debug > Use Execution Status menu command. For execution status, the status values are updated only when the CPU is in RUN mode.
Tip STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides a simple method for changing the state of a variable. Simply select the variable and right-click to display a menu of options.
Configuring How the Status is Displayed in the LAD and FBD Program
STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides a variety of options for displaying the status in the program. To configure the display option for the status screen, select the Tools > Options menu command, select Program Editor and click on the Program Editor tab, as shown in Figure 8-2.

Displaying the Status of the Program in STL

You can monitor the execution status of your STL program on an instruction-by-instruction basis. For an STL program, STEP 7--Micro/WIN displays the status of the instructions that are displayed on the screen. STEP 7--Micro/WIN gathers status information from the S7-200, beginning from the first STL statement at the top of the editor window. As you scroll down the editor window, new information is gathered from the S7-200. STEP 7--Micro/WIN continuously updates values on the screen. To halt the screen updates, select the Triggered Pause button. The current data remains on the screen until you deselect the Triggered Pause button.
Configuring Which Parameters Are Displayed in the STL Program

STEP 7--Micro/WIN allows you to display the status of a variety of parameters for the STL instructions. Select the Tools > Options menu command, select Program Editor, and click on the STL Status tab See Figure 8-3. tab. 83
Figure 8-3
Options for Displaying STL Status
Using a Status Chart to Monitor and Modify the Data in the S7-200
The Status Chart allows you to read, write, force, and monitor variables while the S7-200 is executing your program. Select the View > Component > Status Chart menu command to create a status chart. Figure 8-4 shows a sample status chart. You can create multiple status charts. STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides toolbar icons for manipulating the status chart: Sort Ascending, Sort Descending, Single Read, Write All, Force, Unforce, Unforce All, and Read All Forced. To select a format for a cell, select the cell and click the right mouse button to display the context menu.
Figure 8-4 Status Chart
247
Forcing Specific Values

The S7-200 allows you to force any or all of the I/O points (I and Q bits). In addition, you can also force up to 16 memory values (V or M) or analog I/O values (AI or AQ). V memory or M memory values can be forced in bytes, words, or double words. Analog values are forced as words only, on even-numbered byte boundaries, such as AIW6 or AQW14. All forced values are stored in the permanent memory of the S7-200. Because the forced data might be changed during the scan cycle (either by the program, by the I/O update cycle, or by the communications- processing cycle), the S7-200 reapplies the forced values at various times in the scan cycle.
-
Reading the inputs: The S7-200 applies the forced values to the inputs as they are read. Executing the control logic in the program: The S7-200 applies the forced values to all immediate I/O accesses. Forced values are applied for up to 16 memory values after the program has been executed. Processing any communications requests: The S7-200 applies the forced values to all read/write communications accesses. Writing to the outputs: The S7-200 applies the forced values to the outputs as they are written.

Figure 8-5
S7-200 Scan Cycle
Tip The Force function overrides a Read Immediate or Write Immediate instruction. The Force function also overrides the output table that was configured for transition to STOP mode. If the S7-200 goes to STOP mode, the output reflects the forced value and not the value that was configured in the output table.
Running Your Program for a Specified Number of Scans

To help you debug your program, STEP 7--Micro/WIN allows you to run the program for a specific number of scans. You can have the S7-200 execute only the first scan. This allows you to monitor the data in the S7-200 after the first scan. Select the Debug > First Scan menu command to run the first scan. You can have the S7-200 execute your program for a limited number of scans (from 1 scan to 65,535 scans). This allows you to monitor the program as it changes variables. Select the Debug > Multiple Scans menu command to specify the number of scans to be executed.

Open Loop Motion Control with the S7-200

The S7-200 provides three methods of open loop motion control:
-
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) -- built into the S7-200 for speed, position or duty cycle control Pulse Train Output (PTO) -- built into the S7-200 for speed and position control EM 253 Position Module -- an add on module for speed and position control
To simplify the use of position control in your application, STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides a Position Control wizard that allows you to completely configure the PWM, PTO or Position module in minutes. The wizard generates position instructions that you can use to provide dynamic control of speed and position in your application. For the Position module STEP 7--Micro/WIN also provides a control panel that allows you to control, monitor and test your motion operations.

Overview
The S7-200 provides three methods of open loop motion control:
-
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) -- built into the S7-200 for speed, position or duty cycle control Pulse Train Output (PTO) -- built into the S7-200 for speed and position control EM 253 Position Module -- an add on module for speed and position control
Position Control
The S7-200 provides two digital outputs (Q0.0 and Q0.1) that can be configured using the Position Control Wizard for use as either PWM or a PTO outputs. The Position Control Wizard can also be used to configure the EM 253 Position Module. When an output is configured for PWM operation, the cycle time of the output is fixed and the pulse width or duty cycle of the pulse is controlled by your program. The variations in pulse width can be used to control the speed or position in your application. When an output is configured for PTO operation, a 50% duty cycle pulse train is generated for open loop control of the speed and position for either stepper motors or servo motors. The built in PTO function only provides the pulse train output. Direction and limit controls must be supplied by your application program using I/O built into the PLC or provided by expansion modules. The EM 253 Position Module provides a single pulse train output with integrated direction control, disable and clear outputs. It also includes dedicated inputs which allow the module to be configured for several modes of operation including automatic reference point seek. The module provides a unified solution for open loop control of the speed and position for either stepper motors or servo motors. To simplify the use of position control in your application, STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides a Position Control wizard that allows you to completely configure the PWM, PTO or Position module in minutes. The wizard generates position instructions that you can use to provide dynamic control of speed and position in your application. For the Position module STEP 7--Micro/WIN also provides a control panel that allows you to control, monitor and test your motion operations.

Chapter 9
Using the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Output

PWM provides a fixed cycle time output with a variable duty cycle. The PWM output runs continuously after being started at the specified frequence (cycle time). The pulse width is varied as required to effect the desired control. Duty cycle can be expressed as a percentage of the cycle time or as a time value corresponding to pulse width. The pulse width can vary from 0% (no pulse, always off) to 100% (no pulse, always on). See Figure 9-1. Since the PWM output can be varied from 0% to 100%, it provides a digital output that in many ways is analogous to an analog output. For example the PWM output can be used to control the speed of a motor from stop to full speed or it can be used to control position of a valve from closed to full open.

Configuring the PWM Output

To configure one of the built-in outputs for PWM control, use the Position Control wizard. To start the Position Control wizard, either click the Tools icon in the navigation bar and then double-click the Position Control Wizard icon, or select the Tools> Position Control Wizard menu command. See Figure 9-2 1. Select the option to configure the onboard PTO/PWM operation for the S7-200 PLC. Choose the output Q0.0 or Q0.1 that you wish to configure as a PWM output. Next select Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) from the drop down dialog box, select the time base of microseconds or milliseconds and specify the cycle time. Select Finish to complete the wizard.

The wizard will generate one instruction for you to use to control the duty cycle of the the PWM output.
253
PWMx_RUN Instruction
The PWMx_RUN instruction allows you to control the duty cycle of the output by varying the pulse width from 0 to the pulse width of the cycle time. The Cycle input is a word value that defines the cycle time for the PWM output. The allowed range is from 2 to 65535 units of the time base (microseconds or milliseconds) that was specified within the wizard. The Duty_Cycle input is a word value that defines the pulse width for the PWM output. The allowed range of values is from 0.0 to 65535 units of the time base (microseconds or milliseconds) that was specified within the wizard. The Error is a byte value returned by the PWMx_RUN instruction that indicates the result of execution. See Table for a description of the possible error codes.

Chapter 9
Basic Information for Open Loop Position Control Using Steppers or Servos
Both the PTO built-in to the S7-200 PLC and the EM 253 Position Module use a pulse train output to control both the speed and position of a stepper motor or a servo motor. Using the PTO or the module for open loop position control requires expertise in the field of motion control. This chapter is not meant to educate the novice in this subject. However, it provides fundamental information that will help as you use the Position Control wizard to configure the PTO or module for your application.
Maximum and Start/Stop Speeds

The wizard will prompt you for the maximum speed (MAX_SPEED) and Start/Stop Speed (SS_SPEED) for your application. See Figure 9-3.
-
MAX_SPEED: Enter the value for the optimum operating speed of your application within the torque capability of your motor. The torque required to drive the load is determined by friction, inertia, and the acceleration/deceleration times. The Position Control wizard calculates and displays the minimum speed that can be controlled by the Position module based on the MAX_SPEED you specify. For the PTO output you must specify the desired start/stop speed. Since at least one cycle at the start/stop speed is generated each time a move is executed, use a start/stop speed whose period is less than the acceleration/deceleration time.
Speed SS_SPEED: Enter a value within the capability of your motor to drive MAX_SPEED your load at low speeds. If the SS_SPEED value is too low, the motor and load could vibrate or move in short jumps at the SS_SPEED beginning and end of travel. If the Distance SS_SPEED value is too high, the motor could lose pulses on start up, up and the load could overdrive Figure 9-3 Maximum Speed and Start/Stop Speed the motor when attempting to stop.
255
Motor data sheets have different ways of specifying the start/stop (or pull--in/pull--out ) speed for a motor and given load. Typically, a useful SS_SPEED value is 5% to 15% of the MAX_SPEED value. To help you select the correct speeds for your application, refer to the data sheet for your motor. Figure 9-4 shows a typical motor torque/speed curve.

Typical Torque-Speed Curve for a Motor
Entering the Acceleration and Deceleration Times

As part of the configuration, you set the acceleration and deceleration times. The default setting for both the acceleration time and the deceleration time is 1 second. Typically, motors can work with less than 1 second. See Figure 9-5. You specify the following times in milliseconds:
-
ACCEL_TIME: Time required for the motor to accelerate from SS_SPEED to MAX_SPEED. Default = 1000 ms DECEL_TIME: Time required for the motor to decelerate from MAX_SPEED to SS_SPEED. Default = 1000 ms
Speed MAX_SPEED
SS_SPEED Distance ACCEL_TIME Figure 9-5 DECEL_TIME
Acceleration and Deceleration Times
Tip Motor acceleration and deceleration times are determined by trial and error. You should start by entering a large value. Optimize these settings for the application by gradually reducing the times until the motor starts to stall.
256
Chapter 9
Configuring the Motion Profiles

A profile is a pre-defined motion description consisting of one or more speeds of movement that effect a change in position from a starting point to an ending point. You do not have to define a profile in order to use the PTO or the module. The Position Control wizard provides instructions for you to use to control moves without running a profile. A profile is programmed in steps consisting of an acceleration/deceleration to a target speed followed by a fixed number of pulses at the target speed. In the case of single step moves or the last step in a move there is also a deceleration from the target speed (last target speed) to stop. The PTO and module support a maximum of 25 profiles.
Defining the Motion Profile

The Position Control wizard guides you through a Motion Profile Definition where you define each motion profile for your application. For each profile, you select the operating mode and define the specifics of each individual step for the profile. The Position Control wizard also allows you to define a symbolic name for each profile by simply entering the symbol name as you define the profile.
Selecting the Mode of Operation for the Profile

You configure the profile according the the mode of operation desired. The PTO supports relative position and single speed continuous rotation. The Position module supports absolute position, relative position, single-speed continuous rotation, and two-speed continuous rotation. Figure 9-6 shows the different modes of operation.

Creating the Steps for the Profile

A step is a fixed distance that a tool moves, including the distance covered during acceleration and deceleration times. In the case of the PTO a maximum of 29 steps are allowed in each profile. The module supports a maximum of 4 steps in each profile. You specify the target speed and ending position or number of pulses for each step. Additional steps are entered one at a time. Figure 9-7 illustrates a one-step, two-step, three-step and a four-step profile. Notice that a one-step profile has one constant speed segment, a two-step profile has two constant speed segments, and so on. The number of steps in the profile matches the number of constant speed segments of the profile.

Using the PTO Output

PTO provides a square wave output (50% duty cycle) for a specified number of pulses. The frequency or cycle time of each pulse changes linearly with frequency during acceleration and deceleration and remains fixed during the constant frequency portions of a movement. Once the specified number of pulses have been generated, the PTO output turns off and no further pulses are generated until a new specification is loaded. See Figure 9-8.

Configuring the PTO Output

To configure one of the built in outputs for PTO operation use the Position Control wizard. To start the Position Control wizard, either click the Tools icon in the navigation bar and then double-click the Position Control Wizard icon, or select the Tools> Position Control Wizard menu command. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Select the option to configure the onboard PTO/PWM operation for the S7-200 PLC. Choose the output Q0.0 or Q0.1 that you wish to configure as a PTO output. Select Linear Pulse Train Output (PTO) from the drop down dialog box. If you wish to monitor the number of pulses generated by the PTO, select the use High Speed Counter by clicking the check box. Enter the MAX_SPEED and the SS_SPEED in the designated edit boxes. Enter the acceleration and deceleration times in the designated edit boxes. In the motion profile definition screen, click the new profile button to enable defining the profile. Choose the desired mode of operation. For a relative position profile: Fill in the target speed and the number of pulses. You may then click the plot step button to see a graphical representation of the move. If more than one step is needed, click the new step button and fill in the step information as required. For a single speed, continuous rotation: Enter the single speed value in the edit box. If you wish to terminate the single speed, continuous rotation move, click the Program a Subroutine check box and and enter the number of pulses to move after the Stop event. 8. 9. Define as many profiles and steps as you need to perform the desired movement Then select Finish to complete the wizard.
259
Instructions Created by the Position Control Wizard

The Position Control wizard makes controlling your built-in PTO easier by creating five unique instruction subroutines. Each position instruction is prefixed with a PTOx_ where x is the channel number (x=0 for Q0.0, x=1 for Q0.1).
PTOx_CTRL Subroutine
The PTOx_CTRL subroutine (Control) enables and initializes the PTO output for use with a stepper or servo motor. Use this subroutine only once in your program and ensure that it is executed every scan. Always use SM0.0 as the input for the EN input. The I_STOP (Immediate STOP) input is a Boolean input. When this input is low, the PTO function operates normally. When this input goes high, the PTO terminates the issuance of pulses immediately. The D_STOP (Decelerated STOP) input is a Boolean input. When this input is low, the PTO function operates normally. When this input goes high, the PTO generates a pulse train that decelerates the motor to a stop. The Done output is a Boolean output. When the Done bit is set high, it indicates the subroutine has been executed by the CPU.
When the Done bit is high, the Error byte reports normal completion with no error or with an error code. See Table 9-7 for definitions of the error codes. The C_Pos parameter contains the current position of the module as the number of pulses if the HSC was enabled in the wizard. Otherwise the current position is always 0.

PTOx_RUN Subroutine
The PTOx_RUN subroutine (Run Profile) commands the PLC to execute the motion operation in a specific profile stored in the configuration/profile table. Turning on the EN bit enables the subroutine. Ensure that the EN bit stays on until the Done bit signals that the execution of the subroutine has completed. Turning on the START parameter initiates execution of the profile. For each scan when the START parameter is on and the PTO is not currently active, the instruction activates the PTO. To ensure that only one command is sent, use an edge detection element to pulse the START parameter on. The Profile parameter contains the number or the symbolic name for the motion profile. Turning on the Abort parameter commands the Position module to stop the current profile and decelerate until the motor comes to a stop. The Done parameter turns on when the module completes this instruction. The Error parameter contains the result of this instruction. See Table 9-7 for definitions of the error codes. The C_Profile parameter contains the profile currently being executed by the Position module. The C_Step parameter contains the step of the profile currently being executed. The C_Pos parameter contains the current position of the module as the number of pulses if the HSC was enabled in the wizard. Otherwise the current position is always 0.

PTOx_MAN Subroutine
The PTOx_MAN subroutine (Manual Mode) puts the PTO output in manual mode. This allows the motor to be started, stopped and run at different speeds within the range from Start/Stop speed through Maximum speed as specified in the wizard. While the PTOx_MAN subroutine is enabled, no other PTOx_RUN or PTOx_ADV instructions should be executed. Enabling the RUN (Run/Stop) parameter commands the PTO to accelerate to the specified speed (Speed parameter). You can change the value for the Speed parameter while the motor is running. Disabling the RUN parameter commands the PTO to decelerate until the motor comes to a stop. The Speed parameter determines the speed when RUN is enabled. The speed will be clamped to Start/Stop or Maximum for values of the Speed parameter outside this range. The speed is a DINT value for pulses/second. You can change this parameter while the motor is running. The Error parameter contains the result of this instruction. See Table 9-7 for definitions of the error codes. The C_Pos parameter contains the current position of the module as the number of pulses if the HSC was enabled in the wizard. Otherwise the current position is always 0.

Chapter 9
PTOx_LDPOS Instruction
The PTOx_LDPOS instruction (Load Position) changes the current position value of the PTO pulse counter to a new value. You can also use this instruction to establish a new zero position for any move command. Turning on the EN bit enables the instruction. Ensure that the EN bit stays on until the Done bit signals that the execution of the instruction has completed. Turning on the START parameter loads a new position into the PTO pulse counter. For each scan when the START parameter is on and the PTO is not currently busy, the instruction loads a new position into the PTO pulse counter. To ensure that only one command is sent, use an edge detection element to pulse the START parameter on. The New_Pos parameter provides the new value to replace the current position value that is reported. The position value is expressed as a number of pulses.
The Done parameter turns on when the module completes this instruction. The Error parameter contains the result of this instruction. See Table 9-7 for definitions of the error codes. The C_Pos parameter contains the current position of the module as the number of pulses if the HSC was enabled in the wizard. Otherwise the current position is always 0.

PTOx_ADV Subroutine
The PTOx_ADV subroutine stops the current continuous motion profile and advances the number of pulses specified in the wizard profile definition. This subroutine is created if you have specified at least one single speed continuous rotation with the PTOx_ADV option enabled in the Position Control Wizard.

Features of the Position Module

The Position module provides the functionality and performance that you need for single-axis, open-loop position control:
-
Provides high-speed control, with a range from 20 pulses per second up to 200,000 pulses per second Supports both jerk (S curve) or linear acceleration and deceleration Provides a configurable measuring system that allows you to enter data either as engineering units (such as inches or centimeters) or as a number of pulses Provides configurable backlash compensation Supports absolute, relative, and manual methods of position control Provides continuous operation Provides up to 25 motion profiles, with up to 4 speed changes per profile Provides four different reference-point seek modes, with a choice of the starting seek direction and the final approach direction for each sequence Provides removable field wiring connectors for Figure 9-9 easy installation and removal
EM 253 Position Module
You use STEP 7--Micro/WIN to create all of the configuration and profile information used by the Position module. This information is downloaded to the S7-200 with your program blocks. Because all the information required for position control is stored in the S7-200, you can replace a Position module without having to reprogram or reconfigure the module. The S7-200 reserves 8 bits of the process image output register (Q memory) for the interface to the Position module. Your application program in the S7-200 uses these bits to control the operation of the Position module. These 8 output bits are not connected to any of the physical field outputs of the Position module. The Position module provides five digital inputs and four digital outputs that provide the interface to your motion application. See Table 9-8. These inputs and outputs are local to the Position module. Appendix A provides the detailed specifications for the Position module and also includes wiring diagrams for connecting the Position module to some of the more common motor driver/amplifier units.
Table 9-8 Signal STP RPS ZP LMT+ LMTP0 P1 P0+, P0P1+, P1Inputs and Outputs of the Position Module Description The STP input causes the module to stop the motion in progress. You can select the desired operation of STP within the Position Control wizard. The RPS (Reference Point Switch) input establishes the reference point or home position for absolute move operations. The ZP (Zero Pulse) input helps establish the reference point or home position. Typically, the motor driver/amplifier pulses ZP once per motor revolution. LMT+ and LMT- inputs establish the maximum limits for motion travel. The Position Control wizard allows you to configure the operation of LMT+ and LMT- inputs. P0 and P1 are open drain transistor pulse outputs that control the movement and direction of movement of the motor. P0+, P0- and P1+, P1- are differential pulse outputs that provide the identical functions of P0 and P1, respectively, while providing superior signal quality. The open drain outputs and the differential outputs are all active simultaneously. Based upon the interface requirements of motor driver/amplifier, you choose which set of pulse outputs to use. DIS is an open drain transistor output used to disable or enable the motor driver/amplifier. CLR is an open drain transistor output used to clear the servo pulse count register.

Programming the Position Module

STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides easy-to-use tools for configuring and programming the Position module. Simply follow these steps: 1. Configure the Position module. STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides a Position Control wizard for creating the configuration/profile table and the position instructions. See Configuring the Position Module on page 270 for information about configuring the Position module. Test the operation of the Position Module. STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides an EM 253 control panel for testing the wiring of the inputs and outputs, the configuration of the Position module, and the operation of the motion profiles. See page 290 for information about the EM 253 control panel. Create the program to be executed by the S7-200. The Position Control wizard automatically creates the position instructions that you insert into your program. See page 273 for information about the position instructions. Insert the following instructions into your program: --To enable the Position module, insert a POSx_CTRL instruction. Use SM0.0 (Always On) to ensure that this instruction is executed every scan. To move the motor to a specific location, use a POSx_GOTO or a POSx_RUN instruction. The POSx_GOTO instruction move to a location specified by the inputs from your program. The POSx_RUN instruction executes the motion profiles you configured with the Position Control wizard. To use absolute coordinates for your motion, you must establish the zero position for your application. Use the a POSx_RSEEK or a POSx_LDPOS instruction to establish the zero position. The other instructions that are created by the Position Control wizard provide functionality for typical applications and are optional for your specific application.

Chapter 9
Configuring the Position Module

You must create a configuration/profile table for the Position module in order for the module to control your motion application. The Position Control wizard makes the configuration process quick and easy by leading you step-by-step through the configuration process. Refer to the Advanced Topics on page 294 for detailed information about the configuration/profile table. The Position Control wizard also allows you to create the configuration/profile table offline. You can create the configuration without being connected to an S7-200 CPU with a Position module installed. To run the Position Control wizard, your project must have been compiled and set to symbolic addressing mode. To start the Position Control wizard, either click the Tools icon in the navigation bar and then double-click the Position Control Wizard icon, or select the Tools> Position Control Wizard menu command.
Position Control
Figure 9-10 Position Control Wizard
To configure the Position Control Module use the Position Control wizard. Select the option to configure the EM 253 Position Control Module.
Enter location of module

Specify the module slot position (module 0 to module 6). If STEP 7--Micro/WIN is connected to the PLC, you only have to click the Read Modules button. For an S7-200 CPU with firmware prior to version 1.2, the module must be installed next to the CPU.
Select type of measurement

Select the measurement system. You can select either engineering units or pulses. If you select pulses, no other information is required. If you select engineering units, the number of pulses required to produce one revolution of the motor (refer to the data sheet for your motor or drive), the base unit of measurement (such as inch, foot, millimeter, or centimeter), and the distance traveled in one revolution of the motor.
-
STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides an EM253 Control Panel that allows you to modify the number of units per revolution after the Position module has been configured. If you change the measurement system later, you must delete the entire configuration including any instructions generated by the Position Control wizard. You must then enter your selections consistent with the new measurement system.
267
Edit default input and output configuration

To change or view the default configuration of the integrated inputs/outputs select the Advanced Options button.
-
Use the Input Active Levels tab to select the active level (High or Low). When the level is set to High, a logic 1 is read when current is flowing in the input. When the level is set to Low, a logic 1 is read when there is no current flow in the input. A logic 1 level is always interpreted as meaning the condition is active. The LEDs are illuminated when current flows in the input, regardless of activation level. (Default = active high) Use the Input Filter Times tab to select the filter time constant (0.20 ms to 12.80 ms) for the STP, RPS, LMT+, and LMT-- inputs. Increasing the filter time constant eliminates more noise, but it also slows down the response time to a signal state change. (Default = 6.4 ms) Use the Pulse and Directional Outputs tab to select the polarity of the outputs and to select the direction control method. See Figures 9-11 and 9-12 to see the effects of polarity and direction control method selections.

Warning Control devices can fail in unsafe conditions, and can result in unpredictable operation of controlled equipment. Such unpredictable operations could result in death or serious personal injury, and/or equipment failure. The limit and stop functions in the Position Module are electronic logic implementations that do not provide the level of protection provided by electromechanical controls. Consider using an emergency stop function, electromechanical overrides, or redundant safeguards that are independent of the Position module and the S7-200 CPU.
Configure response of module to physical inputs

Next, select the module response to the LMT+, the LMT--, and the STP inputs. Use the drop down box to select: no action (ignore the input condition), decelerate to a stop (default), or immediate stop.
Enter maximum start and stop speed

Enter the maximum speed (MAX_SPEED) and Start/Stop Speed (SS_SPEED) for your application

Chapter 9
Enter jog parameters

Next, enter the JOG_SPEED and the JOG_INCREMENT values.
-
JOG_SPEED: The JOG_SPEED (Jog speed for the motor) is the maximum speed that can be obtained while the JOG command remains active. JOG_INCREMENT: Distance that the tool is moved by a momentary JOG command.
Figure 9-13 shows the operation of the Jog command. When the Position module receives a Jog command, it starts a timer. If the Jog command is terminated before 0.5 seconds has elapsed, the Position module moves the tool the amount specified in the JOG_INCREMENT at the speed defined by SS_SPEED. If the Jog command is still active when the 0.5 seconds have elapsed, the Position module accelerates to the JOG_SPEED. Motion continues until the Jog command is terminated. The Position module then performs a decelerated stop. You can enable the Jog command either from the EM 253 control panel or with a position instruction.
Speed MAX_SPEED JOG command terminated JOG_SPEED
SS_SPEED Distance JOG_INCREMENT JOG command active for less than 0.5 seconds Figure 9-13 Representation of a JOG Operation JOG command active for more than 0.5 seconds
Enter acceleration time

Enter the acceleration and deceleration times in the edit boxes
Enter jerk time

For single step moves enter the jerk time compensation. This provides smoother position control by reducing the jerk (rate of change) in acceleration and deceleration parts of the motion profile. See Figure 9-14. Jerk time compensation is also known as S curve profiling. This compensation is applied equally to the beginning and ending portions of both the acceleration and deceleration curve. Jerk compensation is not applied to the initial and final step between zero speed and SS_SPEED.
269
You specify the jerk compensation by entering a time value (JERK_TIME). This is the time required for acceleration to change from zero to the maximum acceleration rate. A longer jerk time yields smoother operation with a smaller increase in total cycle time than would be obtained by decreasing the ACCEL_TIME and DECEL_TIME. A value of zero indicates that no compensation is to be applied. (Default = 0 ms)
Speed MAX_SPEED
SS_SPEED Distance JERK_TIME Figure 9-14 Jerk Compensation
Tip A good first value for JERK_TIME is 40% of ACCEL_TIME.
Configure reference point and seek parameters

Select using a reference point or not using a reference point for your application.
-
If your application requires that movements start from or be referenced to an absolute position, you must establish a reference point (RP) or zero position that fixes the position measurements to a known point on the physical system. If a reference point is used, you will want to define a way to automatically relocate the reference point. The process of automatically locating the reference point is called Reference Point Seek. Defining the Reference Point Seek process requires two steps in the wizard. Enter the Reference Point seek speeds (a fast seek speed and a slow seek speed). Define the initial seek direction and the final reference point approach direction. Use the advanced RP Options button to enter Reference Point Offset and backlash compensation values. RP_FAST is the initial speed the module uses when performing an RP seek command. Typically, the RP_FAST value is approximately 2/3 of the MAX_SPEED value. RP_SLOW is the speed of the final approach to the RP. A slower speed is used on approach to the RP, so as not to miss it. Typically, the RP_SLOW value is the SS_SPEED value. RP_SEEK_DIR is the initial direction for the RP seek operation. Typically, this is the direction from the work zone to the vicinity of the RP. Limit switches play an important role in defining the region that is searched for the RP. When performing a RP seek operation, encountering a limit switch can result in a reversal of the direction, which allows the search to continue. (Default = Negative) RP_APPR_DIR is the direction of the final approach to the RP. To reduce backlash and provide more accuracy, the reference point should be approached in the same direction used to move from the RP to the work zone. (Default = Positive)
270
Chapter 9
The Position Control wizard provides advanced reference point options that allow you to specify an RP offset (RP_OFFSET), which is the distance from the RP to the zero position. See Figure 9-15. RP_OFFSET: Distance from the RP to the zero position of the physical measuring system. Default = 0

Choose a Reference Point search sequence.

-
The Position module provides a reference point switch (RPS) input that is used when seeking the RP. The RP is identified by a method of locating an exact position with respect to the RPS. The RP can be centered in the RPS Active zone, the RP can be located on the edge of the RPS Active zone, or the RP can be located a specified number of zero pulse (ZP) input transitions from the edge of the RPS Active zone. You can configure the sequence that the Position module uses to search for the reference point. Figure 9-16 shows a simplified diagram of the default RP search sequence. You can select the following options for the RP search sequence: RP Seek mode 0: Does not perform a RP seek sequence RP Seek mode 1: The RP is where the RPS input goes active on the approach from the work zone side. (Default)
RP Seek Mode 1 RP Seek mode 2: The RP is centered within the active region of LMTthe RPS input. Active RPS Active RP Seek Direction RP Approach Direction Work Zone
RP Seek mode 3: The RP is located outside the active region of the RPS input. RP_Z_CNT specifies how many ZP (Zero Pulse) input counts should be received after the RPS becomes inactive. RP Seek mode 4: The RP is generally within the active region of the RPS input. RP_Z_CNT specifies how many ZP (Zero Pulse) input counts should be received after the RPS becomes active.
Figure 9-16 Default RP Search Sequence (Simplified)
Tip The RPS Active region (which is the distance that the RPS input remains active) must be greater than the distance required to decelerate from the RP_FAST speed to the RP_SLOW speed. If the distance is too short, the Position module generates an error.
271
Command byte
Next enter the Q byte address for the command byte. The command byte is the address of the 8 digital outputs reserved in the process image register for the interface to the Position Module. See Figure 4-11 in Chapter 4 for a description of the I/O numbering.
Defining the motion profile

In the motion profile definition screen, click the new profile button to enable defining the profile. Choose the desired mode of operation.
-
For an absolute position profile: Fill in the target speed and the ending position. You may then click the plot step button to see a graphical representation of the move. If more than one step is needed, click the new step button and fill in the step information as required.
For a relative position profile: Fill in the target speed and the ending position. You may then click the plot step button to see a graphical representation of the move. If more than one step is needed, click the new step button and fill in the step information as required.
For a single-speed, continuous rotation: Enter the single speed value in the edit box. Select the direction of rotation If you wish to terminate the single speed, continuous rotation move using the RPS input, click the check box.
For a two-speed, continuous rotation: Enter the target speed value when RPS is high in the edit box. Enter the target speed value when RPS is low in the edit box. Select the direction of rotation
Define as many profiles and steps as you need to perform the desired movement.
Finish the configuration

After you have configured the operation of the Position module, you simply click Finish, and the Position Control wizard performs the following tasks:
-
Inserts the module configuration and profile table into the data block for your S7-200 program Creates a global symbol table for the motion parameters Adds the motion instruction subroutines into the project program block for you to use in your application
You can run the Position Control wizard again in order to modify any configuration or profile information. Tip Because the Position Control wizard makes changes to the program block, the data block and the system block, be sure to download all three blocks to the S7-200 CPU. Otherwise, the Position module might not have all the program components that it needs for proper operation.
272
Chapter 9
Instructions Created by the Position Control Wizard for the Position Module
The Position Control wizard makes controlling the Position module easier by creating unique instruction subroutines based on the position of the module and configuration options you selected. Each position instruction is prefixed with a POSx_ where x is the module location. Because each position instruction is a subroutine, the 11 position instructions use 11 subroutines. Tip The position instructions increase the amount of memory required for your program by up to 1700 bytes. You can delete unused position instructions to reduce the amount of memory required. To restore a deleted position instruction, simply run the Position Control wizard again.
Guidelines for Using the Position Instructions

You must ensure that only one position instruction is active at a time. You can execute the POSx_RUN and POSx_GOTO from an interrupt routine. However, it is very important that you do not attempt to start an instruction in an interrupt routine if the module is busy processing another command. If you start an instruction in an interrupt routine, then you can use the outputs of the POSx_CTRL instruction to monitor when the Position module has completed the movement. The Position Control wizard automatically configures the values for the speed parameters (Speed and C_Speed) and the position parameters (Pos or C_Pos) according to the measurement system that you selected. For pulses, these parameters are DINT values. For engineering units, the parameters are REAL values for the type of unit that you selected. For example: selecting centimeters (cm) stores the position parameters as REAL values in centimeters and stores the speed parameters as REAL values in centimeters per second (cm/sec). The following position instructions are required for specific position control tasks:
-
Insert the POSx_CTRL instruction in your program and use the SM0.0 contact to execute it every scan. To specify motion to an absolute position, you must first use either an POSx_RSEEK or a POSx_LDPOS instruction to establish the zero position. To move to a specific location, based on inputs from your program, use the POSx_GOTO instruction. To run the motion profiles you configured with the Position Control wizard, use the POSx_RUN instruction.
The other position instructions are optional.
273
POSx_CTRL Instruction
The POSx_CTRL instruction (Control) enables and initializes the Position module by automatically commanding the Position module to load the configuration/profile table each time the S7-200 changes to RUN mode. Use this instruction only once in your project, and ensure that your program calls this instruction every scan. Use SM0.0 (Always On) as the input for the EN parameter. The MOD_EN parameter must be on to enable the other position instructions to send commands to the Position module. If the MOD_EN parameter turns off, then the Position module aborts any command that is in progress. The output parameters of the POSx_CTRL instruction provide the current status of the Position module. The Done parameter turns on when the Position module completes any instruction. The Error parameter contains the result of this instruction. See Table 9-20 for definitions of the error codes. The C_Pos parameter is the current position of the module. Based of the units of measurement, the value is either a number of pulses (DINT) or the number of engineering units (REAL). The C_Speed parameter provides the current speed of the module. If you configured the measurement system for the Position module for pulses, C_Speed is a DINT value containing the number of pulses/second. If you configured the measurement system for engineering units, C_Speed is a REAL value containing the selected engineering units/second (REAL). The C_Dir parameter indicates the current direction of the motor.

Inputs/Outputs
Tip The Position module reads the configuration/profile table only at power-up or when commanded to load the configuration. H If you use the Position Control wizard to modify the configuration, then the POSx_CTRL instruction automatically commands the Position module to load the configuration/profile table every time the S7-200 CPU changes to RUN mode. If you use the EM 253 Control Panel to modify the configuration, clicking the Update Configuration button commands the Position module to load the new configuration/profile table. If you use another method to modify the configuration, then you must also issue a Reload the Configuration command to the Position module to load the configuration/profile table. Otherwise, the Position module continues to use the old configuration/profile table.
274
Chapter 9
POSx_MAN Instruction
The POSx_MAN instruction (Manual Mode) puts the Position module into manual mode. This allows the motor to be run at different speeds or to be jogged in a positive or negative direction. While the POSx_MAN instruction is enabled, only the POSx_CTRL and POSx_DIS instructions are allowed. You can enable only one of the RUN, JOG_P, or JOG_N inputs at a time. Enabling the RUN (Run/Stop) parameter commands to the Position module to accelerate to the specified speed (Speed parameter) and direction (Dir parameter). You can change the value for the Speed parameter while the motor is running, but the Dir parameter must remain constant. Disabling the RUN parameter commands the Position module to decelerate until the motor comes to a stop. Enabling the JOG_P (Jog Positive Rotation) or the JOG_N (Jog Negative Rotation) parameter commands the Position module to jog in either a positive or negative direction. If the JOG_P or JOG_N parameter remains enabled for less than 0.5 seconds, the Position module issues pulses to travel the distance specified in JOG_INCREMENT. If the JOG_P or JOG_N parameter remains enabled for 0.5 seconds or longer, the motion module begins to accelerate to the specified JOG_SPEED. The Speed parameter determines the speed when RUN is enabled. If you configured the measuring system of the Position module for pulses, the speed is a DINT value for pulses/second. If you configured the measuring system of the Position module for engineering units, the speed is a REAL value for units/second. You can change this parameter while the motor is running. Tip The Position module may not react to small changes in the Speed parameter, especially if the configured acceleration or deceleration time is short and the difference between the configured maximum speed and start/stop speed is large. For more information refer to FAQ 22632118 on the Siemens Internet site at www.siemens.com/S7--200. The Dir parameter determines the direction to move when RUN is enabled. You cannot change this value when the RUN parameter is enabled. The Error parameter contains the result of this instruction. See Table 9-20 for definitions of the error codes. The C_Pos parameter contains the current position of the module. Based of the units of measurement selected, the value is either a number of pulses (DINT) or the number of engineering units (REAL). The C_Speed parameter contains the current speed of the module. Based of the units of measurement selected, the value is either the number of pulses/second (DINT) or the engineering units/second (REAL). The C_Dir parameter indicates the current direction of the motor.

POSx_GOTO Instruction
The POSx_GOTO instruction commands the Position Module to go to a desired location. Turning on the EN bit enables the instruction. Ensure that the EN bit stays on until the DONE bit signals that the execution of the instruction has completed. Turning on the START parameter sends a GOTO command to the Position module. For each scan when the START parameter is on and the Position module is not currently busy, the instruction sends a GOTO command to the Position module. To ensure that only one GOTO command is sent, use an edge detection element to pulse the START parameter on. The Pos parameter contains a value that signifies either the location to move (for an absolute move) or the distance to move (for a relative move). Based of the units of measurement selected, the value is either a number of pulses (DINT) or the engineering units (REAL). The Speed parameter determines the maximum speed for this movement. Based of the units of measurement, the value is either a number of pulses/second (DINT) or the engineering units/second (REAL). The Mode parameter selects the type of move: 0 -- Absolute position 1 -- Relative position 2 -- Single--speed, continuous positive rotation 3 -- Single--speed, continuous negative rotation The Done parameter turns on when the Position module completes this instruction. Turning on the Abort parameter commands the Position module to stop the current profile and decelerate until the motor comes to a stop. The Error parameter contains the result of this instruction. See Table 9-20 for definitions of the error codes. The C_Pos parameter contains current position of the module. Based of the units of measurement, the value is either a number of pulses (DINT) or the number of engineering units (REAL). The C_Speed parameter contains the current speed of the module.

POSx_RUN Instruction
The POSx_RUN instruction (Run Profile) commands the Position module to execute the motion operation in a specific profile stored in the configuration/profile table. Turning on the EN bit enables the instruction. Ensure that the EN bit stays on until the Done bit signals that the execution of the instruction has completed. Turning on the START parameter sends a RUN command to the Position module. For each scan when the START parameter is on and the Position module is not currently busy, the instruction sends a RUN command to the Position module. To ensure that only one command is sent, use an edge detection element to pulse the START parameter on. The Profile parameter contains the number or the symbolic name for the motion profile. You can also select the advanced motion commands (118 to 127). For information about the motion commands, see Table 9-26. Turning on the Abort parameter commands the Position module to stop the current profile and decelerate until the motor comes to a stop. The Done parameter turns on when the module completes this instruction. The Error parameter contains the result of this instruction. See Table 9-20 for definitions of the error codes. The C_Profile parameter contains the profile currently being executed by the Position module. The C_Step parameter contains the step of the profile currently being executed. The C_Pos parameter contains the current position of the module. Based of the units of measurement, the value is either a number of pulses (DINT) or the number of engineering units (REAL). The C_Speed parameter contains the current speed of the module. Based of the units of measurement, the value is either a number of pulses/second (DINT) or the engineering units/second (REAL).

POSx_RSEEK Instruction
The POSx_RSEEK instruction (Seek Reference Point Position) initiates a reference point seek operation, using the search method in the configuration/profile table. When the Position module locates the reference point and motion has stopped, the Position module loads the RP_OFFSET parameter value into the current position and generates a 50-millisecond pulse on the CLR output. The default value for RP_OFFSET is 0. You can use the Position Control wizard, the EM253 Control Panel, or the POSx_LDOFF (Load Offset) instruction to change the RP_OFFSET value. Turning on the EN bit enables the instruction. Ensure that the EN bit stays on until the Done bit signals that the execution of the instruction has completed. Turning on the START parameter sends a RSEEK command to the Position module. For each scan when the START parameter is on and the Position module is not currently busy, the instruction sends a RSEEK command to the Position module. To ensure that only one command is sent, use an edge detection element to pulse the START parameter on. The Done parameter turns on when the module completes this instruction. The Error parameter contains the result of this instruction. See Table 9-20 for definitions of the error codes.

POSx_LDOFF Instruction
The POSx_LDOFF instruction (Load Reference Point Offset) establishes a new zero position that is at a different location from the reference point position. Before executing this instruction, you must first determine the position of the reference point. You must also move the machine to the starting position. When the instruction sends the LDOFF command, the Position module computes the offset between the starting position (the current position) and the reference point position. The Position module then stores the computed offset to the RP_OFFSET parameter and sets the current position to 0. This establishes the starting position as the zero position. In the event that the motor loses track of its position (such as on loss of power or if the motor is repositioned manually), you can use the POSx_RSEEK instruction to re-establish the zero position automatically. Turning on the EN bit enables the instruction. Ensure that the EN bit stays on until the Done bit signals that the execution of the instruction has completed. Turning on the START parameter sends a LDOFF command to the Position module. For each scan when the START parameter is on and the Position module is not currently busy, the instruction sends a LDOFF command to the Position module. To ensure that only one command is sent, use an edge detection element to pulse the START parameter on. The Done parameter turns on when the module completes this instruction. The Error parameter contains the result of this instruction. See Table 9-20 on for definitions of the error codes.

POSx_LDPOS Instruction
The POSx_LDPOS instruction (Load Position) changes the current position value in the Position module to a new value. You can also use this instruction to establish a new zero position for any absolute move command. Turning on the EN bit enables the instruction. Ensure that the EN bit stays on until the Done bit signals that the execution of the instruction has completed. Turning on the START parameter sends a LDPOS command to the Position module. For each scan when the START parameter is on and the Position module is not currently busy, the instruction sends a LDPOS command to the Position module. To ensure that only one command is sent, use an edge detection element to pulse the START parameter on. The New_Pos parameter provides the new value to replace the current position value that the Position module reports and uses for absolute moves. Based of the units of measurement, the value is either a number of pulses (DINT) or the engineering units (REAL). The Done parameter turns on when the module completes this instruction. The Error parameter contains the result of this instruction. See Table 9-20 for definitions of the error codes. The C_Pos parameter contains the current position of the module. Based of the units of measurement, the value is either a number of pulses (DINT) or the number of engineering units (REAL).

POSx_SRATE Instruction
The POSx_SRATE instruction (Set Rate) commands the Position module to change the acceleration, deceleration, and jerk times. Turning on the EN bit enables the instruction. Ensure that the EN bit stays on until the Done bit signals that the execution of the instruction has completed. Turning on the START parameter copies the new time values to the configuration/profile table and sends a SRATE command to the Position module. For each scan when the START parameter is on and the Position module is not currently busy, the instruction sends a SRATE command to the Position module. To ensure that only one command is sent, use an edge detection element to pulse the START parameter on. The ACCEL_Time, DECEL_Time, and JERK_Time parameters determine the new acceleration time, deceleration time, and jerk time in milliseconds (ms). The Done parameter turns on when the module completes this instruction. The Error parameter contains the result of this instruction. See Table 9-20 for definitions of the error codes.

Sample Programs for the Position Module

The first sample program shows a simple relative move that uses the POSx_CTRL and POSx_GOTO instructions to perform a cut-to-length operation. This program does not require an RP seek mode or a motion profile, and the length can be measured in either pulses or engineering units. Enter the length (VD500) and target speed (VD504). When I0.0 (Start) turns on, the machine starts. When I0.1 (Stop) turns on, the machine finishes the current operation and stops. When I0.2 (E_Stop) turns on, the machine aborts any motion and immediately stops. The second sample program provides an example of the POSx_CTRL, POSx_RUN, POSx_RSEEK, and POSx_MAN instructions. You must configure the RP seek mode and a motion profile.

Monitoring the Position Module with the EM 253 Control Panel

To aid you in the development of your Position Control solution, STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides the EM 253 Control Panel. The Operation, Configuration and Diagnostics tabs make it easy for you to monitor and control the operation of the Position module during the startup and test phases of your development process. Use the EM 253 Control Panel to verify that the Position module is wired correctly, to adjust the configuration data, and to test each movement profile.
Displaying and Controlling the Operation of the Position Module

The Operation tab of the control panel allows you to interact with the operations of the Position Module. The control panel displays the current speed, the current position and the current direction of the Position module. You can also see the status of the input and output LEDs (excluding the Pulse LEDs). The control panel allows you to interact with the Position module by changing the speed and direction, by stopping and starting the motion, and by jogging the tool (if the motion is stopped). You can also generate the following motion commands:
-
Enable Manual Operation. This command allows you to use the manual controls for positioning the tool. Run a Motion Profile. This command allows you to select a profile to be executed. The control panel displays the status of the profile which is being executed by the Position module.
Figure 9-17 Operation Tab of the EM 253 Control Panel
Seek to a Reference Point. This command finds the reference point by using the configured search mode. Load Reference Point Offset. After you use the manual controls to jog the tool to the new zero position, you then load the Reference Point Offset. Reload Current Position. This command updates the current position value and establishes a new zero position. Activate the DIS output and Deactivate the DIS output. These commands turn the DIS output of the Position module on and off. Pulse the CLR output. This command generates a 50 ms pulse on the CLR output of the Position module. Teach a Motion Profile. This command allows you to save the target position and speed for a motion profile and step as you manually position the tool. The control panel displays the status of the profile which is being executed by the Position module. Load Module Configuration. This command loads a new configuration by commanding the Position module to read the configuration block from the V memory of the S7-200.

Chapter 9
Move to an Absolute Position. This command allows you to move to a specified position at a target speed. Before using this command, you must have already established the zero position. Move by a Relative Amount. This command allows you to move a specified distance from the current position at a target speed. You can enter a positive or negative distance. Reset the Command Interface. This command clears the command byte for the Position module and sets the Done bit. Use this command if the Position module appears to not be responding to commands.
Displaying and Modifying the Configuration of the Position Module

The Configuration tab of the control panel allows you to view and modify the configuration settings for the Position module that are stored in the data block of the S7-200. After you modify the configuration settings, you simple click a button to update the settings in both the STEP 7--Micro/Win project and the data block of the S7-200.
Figure 9-18 Configuration Tab of the EM 253 Control Panel
Displaying the Diagnostics Information for the Position Module

The Diagnostics tab of the control panel allows you to view the diagnostic information about the Position module. You can view specific information about the Position module, such as the position of the module in the I/O chain, the module type and firmware version number, and the output byte used as the command byte for the module. The control panel displays any error condition that resulted from a commanded operation. Refer to Table 9-20 for the instruction error conditions. You can also view any error condition reported by the Position module. Refer to Table 9-21 for the module error 9 21 conditions. Figure 9-19 Diagnostics Tab of the EM 253 Control Panel

Understanding the Configuration/Profile Table
The Position Control wizard has been developed to make motion applications easy by automatically generating the configuration and profile information based upon the answers you give about your position control system. Configuration/profile table information is provided for advanced users who want to create their own position control routines. The configuration/profile table is located in the V memory area of the S7-200. As shown in Table 9-22, the configuration settings are stored in the following types of information:
-
The configuration block contains information used to set up the module in preparation for executing motion commands. The interactive block supports direct setup of motion parameters by the user program. Each profile block describes a predefined move operation to be performed by the Position module. You can configure up 25 profile blocks.
Tip To create more than 25 motion profiles, you can exchange configuration/profile tables by changing the value stored in the configuration/profile table pointer.

Special Memory Locations for the Position Module

The S7-200 allocates 50 bytes of special memory (SM) to each intelligent module, based on the physical position of the module in the I/O system. See Table 9-23. When the module detects an error condition or a change in status of the data, the module updates these SM locations. The first module updates SMB200 through SMB249 as required to report the error condition, the second module updates SMB250 through SMB299, and so on.

Understanding the Command Byte for the Position Module

The Position module provides one byte of discrete outputs which is used as the command byte. Figure 9-20 shows the command byte definition. Table 9-20 shows the Command_code definitions. A write to the command byte where the R bit changes from 0 to 1 is interpreted by the module as a new command. If the module detects a transition to idle (R bit changes state to 0) while a command is active, then the operation in progress is aborted and, if a motion is in progress, progress then a decelerated stop is performed.

Figure 9-20 Definition of the Command Byte
After an operation has completed, the module must see a transition to idle before a new command is accepted. If an operation is aborted, then the module must complete any deceleration before a new command is accepted. Any change in the Command_code value while a command is active is ignored. The response of the Position module to a Table 9-25 Command_code Definitions change in the operating mode of the Command_code Command S7-200 or to a fault condition is governed 000 0000 to 0 to Execute motion specified in by the effect that the S7-200 exerts over the 000 1111 24 Profile Blocks 0 to 24 discrete outputs according to the existing 100 0000 to 25 to Reserved definition of the S7-200 function:

If the S7-200 changes from STOP to RUN: The program in the S7-200 controls the operation of the Position module. If the S7-200 changes from RUN to STOP: You can select the state that the discrete outputs are to go to on a transition to STOP or that the outputs are to retain their last state. -If the R bit is turned off when going to STOP: The Position module decelerates any motion in progress to a stop

--
If the R bit is turned on when going to STOP: The Position module completes any command that is in progress. If no command is in progress, the Position module executes the command which is specified by the Command_code bits. If the R bit is held in its last state: The Position module completes any motion in progress.
--
If the S7-200 detects a fatal error and turns off all discrete outputs: The Position module decelerates any motion in progress to a stop.
The Position module implements a watchdog timer that turns the outputs off if communications with the S7-200 are lost. If the output watchdog timer expires, the Position module decelerates any motion in progress to a stop. If a fatal error in the hardware or firmware of the module is detected, the Position module sets the P0, P1, DIS and CLR outputs to the inactive state.
299
Table 9-26 Command
Motion Commands Description When this command is executed, the Position module performs the motion operation specified in the MODE field of the profile block indicated by the Command_code portion of the command. S In Mode 0 (absolute position), the motion profile block defines from one to four steps with each step containing both the position (POS) and speed (SPEED) that describes the move segment. The POS specification represents an absolute location, which is based on the location designated as reference point. The direction of movement is determined by the relationship between the current position and the position of the first step in the profile. In a multi-step move a reversal of direction of travel is prohibited and results in an error condition being reported. In Mode 1 (relative position), the motion profile block defines from one to four steps with each step containing both the position (POS) and the speed (SPEED) that describes the move segment. The sign of the position value (POS) determines the direction of the movement. In a multi-step move, a reversal of direction of travel is prohibited and results in the reporting of an error condition. In Modes 2 and 3 (single-speed, continuous operation modes), the position (POS) specification is ignored and the module accelerates to the speed specified in the SPEED field of the first step. Mode 2 is used for positive rotation, and Mode 3 is used for negative rotation. Movement stops when the command byte transitions to Idle. In Modes 6 and 7 (single-speed, continuous operation modes with triggered stop), the module accelerates to the speed specified in the SPEED field of the first step. If and when the RPS input becomes active, movement stops after completing the distance specified in the POS field of the first step. (The distance specified in the POS field must include the deceleration distance.) If the POS field is zero when the RPS input becomes active, the Position module decelerates to a stop. Mode 6 is used for positive rotation, and Mode 7 is used for negative rotation. In Modes 8 and 9, the binary value of the RPS input selects one of two speed values as specified by the first two steps in the profile block. - If the RPS is inactive: Step 0 controls the speed of the drive. - If the RPS is active: Step 1 controls the speed of the drive. Mode 8 is used for positive rotation, and Mode 9 is used for negative rotation. The SPEED value controls the speed of movement. The POS values are ignored in this mode.
Commands 0 to 24: Executes the motion specified in profile blocks 0 to 24
Command 118 Activates the DIS output Command 119 Deactivates the DIS output Command 120 Pulses the CLR output Command 121 Reloads the Current Position
When this command is executed, the Position module activates the DIS output. When this command is executed, the Position module deactivates the DIS output. When this command is executed, the Position module generates a 50-millisecond pulse on the CLR output. When this command is executed, the Position module sets the current position to the value found in the TARGET_POS field of the interactive block.

Chapter 9
Table 9-26 Command
Motion Commands, continued Description When this command is executed, the Position module performs the motion operation specified in the MOVE_CMD field of the interactive block. S In Modes 0 and 1 (absolute and relative motion modes), a single step motion is performed based upon the target speed and position information provided in the TARGET_SPEED and TARGET_POS fields of the interactive block. In Modes 2 and 3 (single-speed, continuous operation modes), the position specification is ignored, and the Position module accelerates to the speed specified in the TARGET_SPEED field of the interactive block. Movement stops when the command byte transitions to Idle. In Modes 4 and 5 (manual speed control modes), the position specification is ignored and your program loads the value of speed changes into the TARGET_SPEED field of the interactive block. The Position module continuously monitors this location and responds appropriately when the speed value changes.
Command 122 Execute the motion specified in the interactive block
Command 123 Capture the Reference Point offset
When this command is executed, the Position module establishes a zero position that is at a different location from the reference point position. Before issuing this command, you must have determined the position of the reference point and must also have jogged the machine to the work starting position. After receiving this command, the Position module computes the offset between the work starting position (the current position) and the reference point position and writes the computed offset to the RP_OFFSET field of the Interactive Block. The current position is then set to 0 to establish the work starting position as the zero position. In the event that the stepper motor loses track of its position (for example, if power is lost or the stepper motor is repositioned manually) the Seek to Reference Point Position command can be issued to re-establish the zero position automatically.
Command 124 Jog positive rotation
This command allows you to manually issue pulses for moving the stepper motor in the positive direction. If the command remains active for less than 0.5 seconds, the Position module issues pulses to travel the distance specified in JOG_INCREMENT. If the command remains active for 0.5 seconds or longer, the motion module begins to accelerate to the specified JOG_SPEED. When a transition to idle is detected, the Position module decelerates to a stop.
Command 125 Jog negative rotation
This command allows you to manually issue pulses for moving the stepper motor in the negative direction. If the command remains active for less than 0.5 seconds, the Position module issues pulses to travel the distance specified in JOG_INCREMENT. If the command remains active for 0.5 seconds or longer, the Position module begins to accelerate to the specified JOG_SPEED. When a transition to idle is detected, the Position module decelerates to a stop.
Command 126 Seek to Reference Point position
When this command is executed, the Position module initiates a reference point seek operation using the specified search method. When the reference point has been located and motion has stopped, the Position module loads the value read from the RP_OFFSET field of the interactive block into the current position and pulses the CLR output on for 50 milliseconds. When this command is executed, the Position module reads the configuration/profile table pointer from the appropriate location in SM memory and then reads the configuration block from the location specified by the configuration/profile table pointer. The Position module compares the configuration data just obtained against the existing module configuration and performs any required setup changes or recalculations. Any cached profiles are discarded.
Command 127 Reload the configuration
301
Understanding the Profile Cache of the Position Module

The Position module stores the execution data for up to 4 profiles in cache memory. When the Position module receives a command to execute a profile, it checks to see if the requested profile is stored in the cache memory. If the execution data for the profile is resident in the cache, the Position module immediately executes the profile. If the the execution data for the profile is not resident in the cache, the Position module reads the profile block information from the configuration/profile table in the S7-200 and calculates the execution data for the profile before executing the profile. Command 122 (Execute the motion specified in the interactive block ) does not use cache memory to store the execution data, but always reads the interactive block from the configuration/profile table in the S7-200 and calculates the execution data for the motion. Reconfiguring the Position module deletes all of the execution data stored in the cache memory.
Creating Your Own Position Control Instructions

The Position Control wizard creates the position instructions for controlling the operation of the Position module; however, you can also create your own instructions. The following STL code segment provides an example of how you might create your own control instructions for the Position module.
This example uses an S7-200 CPU 224 with a Position module located in slot 0. The Position module is configured on power-up. CMD_STAT is a symbol for SMB234, CMD is a symbol for QB2, and NEW_CMD is a symbol for the profile. Sample Program: Controlling the Position Module Network 1 LSCR Network 2 //New move command state State_0 //CMD_STAT is a symbol for SMB234 //CMD is a symbol for QB2 //NEW_CMD is a symbol for the profile. // //1. Clear the Done bit of the Position module. //2. Clear the command byte of the Position module. //3. Issue the new command. //4. Wait for the command to be executed. SM0.0 0, CMD_STAT 0, CMD NEW_CMD, CMD State_1
LD MOVB BIW BIW SCRT Network 3 SCRE Network 4 LSCR Network 5 LDB= SCRT Network 6 LDB> SCRT Network 7 SCRE
//Wait for the command to be completed. State_1 //If the command is complete without error, go to the idle state. CMD_STAT, 16#80 Idle_State //If the command is complete with an error, go to the error handling state. CMD_STAT, 16#80 Error_State

Understanding the RP Seek Modes Supported by the Position Module

The following figures provide diagrams of the different options for each RP seek mode.
-
Figure 9-21 shows two of the options for RP seek mode 1. This mode locates the RP where the RPS input goes active on the approach from the work zone side. Figure 9-22 shows two of the options for RP seek mode 2. This mode locates the RP in the center within the active region of the RPS input. Figure 9-23 shows two of the options for RP seek mode 3. This mode locates the RP a specified number of zero pulses (ZP) outside the active region of the RPS input. Figure 9-24 shows two of the options for RP seek mode 4. This mode locates the RP a specified number of zero pulses (ZP) within the active region of the RPS input.
For each mode, there are four combinations of RP Seek direction and RP Approach direction. (Only two of the combinations are shown.) These combinations determine the pattern for the RP seek operation. For each of the combinations, there are also four different starting points: The work zones for each diagram have been located so that moving from the reference point to the work zone requires movement in the same direction as the RP Approach Direction. By selecting the location of the work zone in this way, all the backlash of the mechanical gearing system is removed for the first move to the work zone after a reference point seek.

The Modem module allows you to connect your S7-200 directly to an analog telephone line and provides the following features:
-
Provides international telephone line interface Provides a modem interface to STEP 7--Micro/WIN for programming and troubleshooting (teleservice) Supports the Modbus RTU protocol Supports numeric and text paging Supports SMS messaging Allows CPU-to-CPU or CPU-to Modbus data transfers Provides password protection Provides security callback
Country Code Switches Figure 10-1 EM 241 Modem Module
The Modem module configuration is stored in the CPU
You can use the STEP 7--Micro/WIN Modem Expansion wizard to configure the Modem module. Refer to Appendix A for the specifications of the Modem module.
International Telephone Line Interface

The Modem module is a standard V.34 (33.6 kBaud), 10-bit modem, and is compatible with most internal and external PC modems. The Modem module does not communicate with 11-bit modems. You connect the Modem module to the telephone line with the six-position four-wire RJ11 connector mounted on the front of the module. See Figure 10-2. An adapter may be required to convert the RJ11 connector for connection to the standard telephone line termination in the various countries. Refer to the documentation for your adapter connector for more information. The modem and telephone line interface is powered from an external 24 VDC supply. This can be connected to the CPU sensor supply or to an external source. Connect the ground terminal on the Modem module to the system earth ground. The Modem module automatically configures the telephone interface for country-specific operation when power is applied to the module. The two rotary switches on the front of the module select the country code. You must set the switches to the desired country selection before the Modem module is powered up. Refer to Table 10-1 for switch settings for the countries supported.

STEP 7-Micro/WIN Interface

The Modem module allows you to communicate with STEP 7--Micro/WIN over a telephone line (teleservice). You do not need to configure or program the S7-200 CPU to use the Modem module as the remote modem when used with STEP 7--Micro/WIN. Follow these steps to use the Modem module with STEP 7--Micro/WIN: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Remove the power from the S7-200 CPU and attach the Modem module to the I/O expansion bus. Do not attach any I/O modules while the S7-200 CPU is powered up. Connect the telephone line to the Modem module. Use an adapter if necessary. Connect 24 volts DC to the Modem module terminal blocks. Connect the Modem module terminal block ground connection to the system ground. Set the country code switches. Power up the S7-200 CPU and the Modem module. Configure STEP 7--Micro/WIN to communicate to a 10-bit modem.
Modbus RTU Protocol

You can configure the Modem module to respond as a Modbus RTU slave. The Modem module receives Modbus requests over the modem interface, interprets those requests and transfers data to or from the CPU. The Modem module then generates a Modbus response and transmits it out over the modem interface. Tip If the Modem module is configured to respond as a Modbus RTU slave, STEP 7--Micro/WIN is not able to communicate to the Modem module over the telephone line. The Modem module supports the Modbus functions shown in Table 10-2. Modbus functions 4 and 16 allow reading or Table 10-2 Modbus Functions Supported by Modem Module writing a maximum of 125 holding registers (250 bytes of V memory) in one request. Function Description Functions 5 and 15 write to the output Function 01 Read coil (output) status image register of the CPU. These values Function 02 Read input status can be overwritten by user program.
Function 03 Function 04 Function 05 Function 06 Function 15 Function 16 Read holding registers
Modbus addresses are normally written as 5 or 6 character values containing the data type and the offset. The first one or two characters determine the data type, and the last four characters select the proper value within the data type. The Modbus master device maps the addresses to the correct Modbus functions.
Read input (analog input) registers Write single coil (output) Preset single register Write multiple coils (outputs) Preset multiple registers

Table 10-3 shows the Modbus addresses supported by the Modem module, and the mapping of Modbus addresses to the S7-200 CPU addresses. Use the Modem Expansion wizard to create a configuration block in for the Modem module to support Modbus RTU protocol. The Modem module configuration block must be downloaded to the CPU data block before you can use the Modbus protocol.

Paging and SMS Messaging

The Modem module supports sending numeric and text paging messages, and SMS (Short Message Service) messages to cellular phones (where supported by the cellular provider). The messages and telephone numbers are stored in the Modem module configuration block which must be downloaded to the data block in the S7-200 CPU. You can use the Modem Expansion wizard to create the messages and telephone numbers for the Modem module configuration block. The Modem Expansion wizard also creates the program code to allow your program to initiate the sending of the messages.
Numeric Paging
Numeric paging uses the tones of a touch tone telephone to send numeric values to a pager. The Modem module dials the requested paging service, waits for the voice message to complete, and then sends the tones corresponding to the digits in the paging message. The digits 0 through 9, asterisk (*), A, B, C and D are allowed in the paging message. The actual characters displayed by a pager for the asterisk and A, B, C, and D characters are not standardized, and are determined by the pager and the paging service provider.
Text Paging
Text paging allows alphanumeric messages to be transmitted to a paging service provider, and from there to a pager. Text paging providers normally have a modem line that accepts text pages. The Modem module uses Telelocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) to transmit the text messages to the service provider. Many providers of text paging use this protocol to accept messages.
Short Message Service (SMS)

Short Message Service (SMS) messaging is supported by some cellular telephone services, generally those that are GSM compatible. SMS allows the Modem module to send a message over an analog telephone line to an SMS provider. The SMS provider then transmits the message to the cellular telephone, and the message appears on the text display of the telephone. The Modem module uses the Telelocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) and the Universal Computer Protocol (UCP) to send messages to the SMS provider. You can send SMS messages only to SMS providers that support these protocols on a modem line.

Chapter 10
Embedded Variables in Text and SMS Messages

The Modem module can embed data values from the CPU in the text messages and format the data values based on a specification in the message. You can specify the number of digits to the left and right of the decimal point, and whether the decimal point is a period or a comma. When the user program commands the Modem module to transmit a text message, the Modem module retrieves the message from the CPU, determines what CPU values are needed within the message, retrieves those values from the CPU, and then formats and place the values within the text message before transmitting the message to the service provider. The telephone number of the messaging provider, the message, and the variables embedded within the message are read from the CPU over multiple CPU scan cycles. Your program should not modify telephone numbers or messages while a message is being sent. The variables embedded within a message can continue to be updated during the sending of a message. If a message contains multiple variables, those variables are read over multiple scan cycles of the CPU. If you want all of the embedded variables within a message to be consistent, the you must not change any of the embedded variables after you send a message.
Data Transfers
The Modem module allows your program to transfer data to another CPU or to a Modbus device over the telephone line. The data transfers and telephone numbers are configured with the Modem Expansion wizard, and are stored in the Modem module configuration block. The configuration block is then downloaded to the data block in the S7-200 CPU. The Modem Expansion wizard also creates program code to allow your program to initiate the data transfers. A data transfer can be either a request to read data from a remote device, or a request to write data to a remote device. A data transfer can read or write between 1 and 100 words of data. Data transfers move data to or from the V memory of the attached CPU. The Modem Expansion wizard allows you to create a data transfer consisting of a single read from the remote device, a single write to the remote device, or both a read from and a write to the remote device. Data transfers use the configured protocol of the Modem module. If the Modem module is configured to support PPI protocol (where it responds to STEP 7--Micro/WIN), the Modem module uses the PPI protocol to transfer data. If the Modem module is configured to support the Modbus RTU protocol, data transfers are transmitted using the Modbus protocol. The telephone number of the remote device, the data transfer request and the data being transferred are read from the CPU over multiple CPU scan cycles. Your program should not modify telephone numbers or messages while a message is being sent. Also, you should not modify the data being transferred while a message is being sent. If the remote device is another Modem module, the password function can be used by the data transfers by entering the password of the remote Modem module in the telephone number configuration. The callback function cannot be used with data transfers.
Password Protection
The password security of the Modem module is optional and is enabled with the Modem Expansion wizard. The password used by the Modem module is not the same as the CPU password. The Modem module password is a separate 8-character password that the caller must supply to the Modem module before being allowed access to the attached CPU. The password is stored in the V memory of the CPU as part of the Modem module configuration block. The Modem module configuration block must be downloaded to the data block of the attached CPU. If the CPU has the password security enabled in the System Data Block, the caller must supply the CPU password to gain access to any password protected functions.
311
Security Callback
The callback function of the Modem module is optional and is configured with the Modem Expansion wizard. The callback function provides additional security for the attached CPU by allowing access to the CPU only from predefined telephone numbers. When the callback function is enabled, the Modem module answers any incoming calls, verifies the caller, and then disconnects the line. If the caller is authorized, the Modem module then dials a predefined telephone number for the caller, and allows access to the CPU. The Modem module supports three callback modes:
-
Callback to a single predefined telephone number Callback to multiple predefined telephone numbers Callback to any telephone number
The callback mode is selected by checking the appropriate option in the Modem Expansion wizard and then defining the callback telephone numbers. The callback telephone numbers are stored in the Modem module configuration block stored in the data block of the attached CPU. The simplest form of callback is to a single predefined telephone number. If only one callback number is stored in the Modem module configuration block, whenever the Modem module answers an incoming call, it notifies the caller that callback is enabled, disconnects the caller, and then dials the callback number specified in the configuration block. The Modem module also supports callback for multiple predefined telephone numbers. In this mode the caller is asked for a telephone number. If the supplied number matches one of the predefined telephone numbers in the Modem module configuration block, the Modem module disconnects the caller, and then calls back using the matching telephone number from the configuration block. The user can configure up to 250 callback numbers. Where there are multiple predefined callback numbers, the callback number supplied when connecting to the Modem module must be an exact match of the number in the configuration block of the Modem module except for the first two digits. For example, if the configured callback is 91(123)4569999 because of a need to dial an outside line (9) and long distance (1), the number supplied for the callback could be any of the following:
-
91(123)4569999 1(123)4569999 (123)4569999
All of the above telephone number are considered to be a callback match. The Modem module uses the callback telephone number from its configuration block when performing the callback, in this example 91(123)4569999. When configuring multiple callback numbers, make sure that all telephone numbers are unique excluding the first two digits. Only the numeric characters in a telephone number are used when comparing callback numbers. Characters such as commas or parenthesis are ignored when comparing callback numbers. The callback to any telephone number is set up in the Modem Expansion wizard by selecting the Enable callbacks to any phone number option during the callback configuration. If this option is selected, the Modem module answers an incoming call and requests a callback telephone number. After the telephone number is supplied by the caller, the Modem module disconnects and dials that telephone number. This callback mode only provides a means to allow telephone charges to be billed to the Modem modules telephone connection and does not provide any security for the S7-200 CPU. The Modem module password should be used for security if this callback mode is used. The Modem module password and callback functions can be enabled at the same time. The Modem module requires a caller to supply the correct password before handling the callback.

Chapter 10
Configuration Table for the Modem Module

All of the text messages, telephone numbers, data transfer information, callback numbers and other options are stored in a Modem module configuration table which must loaded into the V memory of the S7-200 CPU. The Modem Expansion wizard guides you through the creation of a Modem module configuration table. STEP 7--Micro/WIN then places the Modem module configuration table in the Data Block which is downloaded to the S7-200 CPU. The Modem module reads this configuration table from the CPU on startup and within five seconds of any STOP-to-RUN transition of the CPU. The Modem module does not read a new configuration table from the CPU as long the Modem module is online with STEP 7--Micro/WIN. If a new configuration table is downloaded while the Modem module is online, the Modem module reads the new configuration table when the online session is ended. If the Modem module detects an error in the configuration table, the Module Good (MG) LED on the front of the module flashes on and off. Check the PLC Information screen in STEP 7--Micro/WIN, or read the value in SMW220 (for module slot 0) for information about the configuration error. The Modem module configuration errors are listed in Table 10-4. If you use the Modem Expansion wizard to create the Modem module configuration table, STEP 7--Micro/WIN checks the data before creating the configuration table.

The Modem module supports two communications protocols: PPI protocol (to communicate with STEP 7--Micro/WIN), and Modbus RTU protocol. Protocol selection is dependent on the type of device that is being used as the remote communications partner. This setting controls the communications protocol used when the Modem module answers a call and also when the Modem module initiates a CPU data transfer. Select the appropriate protocol and click Next>. You can configure the module to send numeric and text messages to pagers, or Short Message Service (SMS) messages to cellular telephones. Check the Enable messaging checkbox and click the Configure Messaging... button to define messages and the recipients telephone numbers. When setting up a message to be sent to a pager or cellular phone, you must define the message and the telephone number. Select the Messages tab on the Configure Messaging screen and click the New Message button. Enter the text for the message and specify any CPU data values to insert into the message. To insert a CPU data value into the message, move the cursor to the position for the data and click the Insert Data... button. Specify the address of the CPU data value (i.e. VW100), the display format (i.e. Signed Integer) and the digits left and right of the decimal point. You can also specify if the decimal point should be a comma or a period. -Numeric paging messages are limited to the digits 0 to 9, the letters A, B, C and D, and the asterisk (*). The maximum allowed length of a numeric paging message varies by service provider. Text messages can be up to 119 characters in length and contain any alphanumeric character. Text messages can contain any number of embedded variables. Embedded variables can be from V, M, SM, I, Q, S, T, C or AI memory in the attached CPU. Hexadecimal data is displayed with a leading 16#. The number of characters in the value is based on the size of the variable. For example, VW100 displays as 16#0123. The number of digits left of the decimal must be large enough to display the expected range of values, including the negative sign, if the data value is a signed integer or floating point value. If the data format is integer and the number of digits right of the decimal point is not zero, the integer value is displayed as a scaled integer. For example, if VW100 = 1234 and there are 2 digits right of the decimal point, the data is displayed as 12.34. If the data value is greater than can be displayed in the specified field size, the Modem module places the # character in all character positions of data value.

Telephone numbers are configured by selecting the Phone Numbers tab on the Configure Messaging screen. Click the New Phone Number... button to add a new telephone number. Once a telephone number has been configured it must be added to the project. Highlight the telephone number in the Available Phone Numbers column and click the right arrow box to add the telephone number to the current project. Once you have added the telephone number to the current project, you can select the telephone number and add a symbolic name for this number to use in your program. The telephone number consists of several fields which vary based on the type of messaging selected by the user. -The Messaging Protocol selection tells the Modem module which protocol to use when sending the message to the message service provider. Numeric pagers support only numeric protocol. Text paging services usually require TAP (Telelocator Alphanumeric Protocol). SMS messaging providers are supported with either TAP or UCP (Universal Computer Protocol). There are three different UCP services normally used for SMS messaging. Most providers support command 1 or 51. Check with the SMS provider to determine the protocol and commands required by that provider. The Description field allows you to add a text description for the telephone number.

The Phone Number field is the telephone number of the messaging service provider. For text messages this is the telephone number of the modem line the service provider uses to accept text messages. For numeric paging this is the telephone number of the pager itself. The Modem module allows the telephone number field to be a maximum of 40 characters. The following characters are allowed in telephone numbers that the Modem module uses to dial out: 0 to 9 ABCD* # , ! @ W ( )-allowed from a telephone keypad DTMF digits (tone dialing only) pause dialing for 2 seconds commands the modem to generate a hook flash wait for 5 seconds of silence wait for a dial tone before continuing ignored (can be used to format the telephone number)
The dash character (--) is only supported in Version 1.1 of the EM 241 Modem module. -The Specific Pager ID or Cell Phone Number field is where you enter the pager number or cellular telephone number of the message recipient. This number should not contain any characters except the digits 0 through 9. A maximum of 20 characters is allowed. The Password field is optional for TAP message. Some providers require a password but normally this field should be left blank. The Modem module allows the password to be up to 15 characters. The Originating Phone Number field allows the Modem module to be identified in the SMS message. This field is required by some service providers which use UCP commands. Some service providers might require a minimum number of characters in this field. The Modem module allows up to 15 characters. The Modem Standard field is provided for use in cases where the Modem module and the service provider modem cannot negotiate the modem standard. The default is V.34 (33.6 kBaud). The Data Format fields allow you to adjust the data bits and parity used by the modem when transmitting a message to a service provider. TAP normally used 7 data bits and even parity, but some service providers use 8 data bits and no parity. UCP always uses 8 data bits with no parity. Check with the service provider to determine which settings to use.

You can configure the Modem module to transfer data to another S7-200 CPU (if PPI protocol was selected) or to transfer data to a Modbus device (if Modbus protocol was selected). Check the Enable CPU data transfers checkbox and click the Configure CPU-to... button to define the data transfers and the telephone numbers of the remote devices. When setting up a CPU-to-CPU or a CPU-to-Modbus data transfer you must define the data to transfer and the telephone number of the remote device. Select the Data Transfers tab on the Configure Data Transfers screen and click the New Transfer button. A data transfer consists of a data read from the remote device, a data write to the remote device, or both a read from and a write to the remote device. If both a read and a write are selected, the read is performed first and then the write. Up to 100 words can be transferred in each read or write. Data transfers must be to or from the V Memory in the local CPU. The wizard always describes the memory locations in the remote device as if the remote device is an S7-200 CPU. If the remote device is a Modbus device, the transfer is to or from holding registers in the Modbus device (address 04xxxx). The equivalent Modbus address (xxxx) is determined as follows: Modbus address = 1 + (V memory address / 2) V memory address = (Modbus address -- 1) * 2

Click the New Phone Number... button to add a new telephone number. Once a telephone number has been configured it must be added to the project. Highlight the telephone number in the Available Phone Numbers column and click the right arrow box to add the telephone number to the current project. Once you have added the telephone number to the current project, you can select the telephone number and add a symbolic name for this telephone number to use in your program. The Description and Phone Number fields are the same as described earlier for messaging. The Password field is required if the remote device is a Modem module and password protection has been enabled. The Password field in the local Modem module must be set to the password of the remote Modem module. The local Modem module supplies this password when it is requested by the remote Modem module. 11. Callback causes the Modem module to automatically disconnect and dial a predefined telephone number after receiving an incoming call from a remote STEP 7--Micro/WIN. Select the Enable callback checkbox and click the Configure Callback... button to configure callback telephone numbers. Click Next>. 12. The Configure Callback... screen allows you enter the telephone numbers the Modem module uses when it answers an incoming call. Check the Enable callbacks to only specified phone numbers if the callback numbers are to be predefined. If the Modem module is to accept any callback number supplied by the incoming caller (to reverse the connection charges), check the Enable callbacks to any phone number selection. If only specified callback telephone numbers are allowed, click the New Phone Number button to add callback telephone numbers. The Callback Properties screen allows you to enter the predefined callback telephone numbers and a description for the callback number. The callback number entered here is the telephone number that the Modem module uses to dial when performing the callback. This telephone number should include all digits required to connect to an outside line, pause while waiting for an outside line, connect to long distance, etc. After entering a new callback telephone number, it must be added to the project. Highlight the telephone number in the Available Callback Phone Numbers column and click the right arrow box to add the telephone number to the current project. 13. You can set the number of dialing attempts that the Modem module makes when sending a message or during a data transfer. The Modem module reports an error to the user program only when all attempts to dial and send the message are unsuccessful. Some telephone lines do not have a dial tone present when the telephone receiver is lifted. Normally, the Modem module returns an error to the user program if a dial tone is not present when the Modem module is commanded to send a message or perform a callback. To allow dialing out on a line with no dial tone, check the box, Enable Dialing Without Dial Tone Selection. 14. Version 1.1 of the EM 241 Module can be programmed to answer after a specific number of rings. The module will answer on the first ring unless another value is specified. You can select the answering ring number between 0 and 20. Values of 0 and 1 will answer on the first ring. The value of zero provides compatibility with the previous version of the EM 241. When using Modbus RTU protocol, Version 1.1 of the EM 241 Module allows the user to configure the module to answer only a specific Modbus address. You can specify Modbus addresses between 0 and 247. An address of zero provides compatibility with the previous version of the EM 241 and causes the EM 241 to answer any address. 15. The Modem Expansion wizard creates a configuration block for the Modem module and requires the user to enter the starting memory address where the Modem module configuration data is stored. The Modem module configuration block is stored in V Memory in the CPU. STEP 7--Micro/WIN writes the configuration block to the project Data Block. The size of the configuration block varies based on the number of messages and telephone numbers configured. You can select the V Memory address where you want the configuration block stored, or click the Suggest Address button if you want the wizard to suggest the address of an unused V Memory block of the correct size. Click Next>. 16. The final step in configuring the Modem module is to specify the Q memory address of the command byte for the Modem module. You can determine the Q memory address by counting the output bytes used by any modules with discrete outputs installed on the
317
S7-200 before the Modem module. Click Next>. 17. The Modem Expansion wizard now generates the project components for your selected configuration (program block and data block) and makes that code available for use by your program. The final wizard screen displays your requested configuration project components. You must download the Modem module configuration block (Data Block) and the Program Block to the S7-200 CPU.
Overview of Modem Instructions and Restrictions

The Modem Expansion wizard makes controlling the Modem module easier by creating unique instruction subroutines based on the position of the module and configuration options you selected. Each instruction is prefixed with a MODx_ where x is the module location.
Requirements for Using the EM 241 Modem Module Instructions

Consider these requirements when you use Modem module instructions:
-
The Modem module instructions use three subroutines. The Modem module instructions increase the amount of memory required for your program by up to 370 bytes. If you delete an unused instruction subroutine, you can rerun the Modem Expansion wizard to recreate the instruction if needed. You must make sure that only one instruction is active at a time. The instructions cannot be used in an interrupt routine. The Modem module reads the configuration table information when it first powers up and after a STOP-to-RUN transition. Any change that your program makes to the configuration table is not seen by the module until a mode change or the next power cycle.
Using the EM 241 Modem Module Instructions

To use the Modem module instructions in your S7-200 program, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. Use the Modem Expansion wizard to create the Modem module configuration table. Insert the MODx_CTRL instruction in your program and use the SM0.0 contact to execute it every scan. Insert a MODx_MSG instruction for each message you need to send. Insert a MODx_XFR instruction for each data transfer.

Instructions for the Modem Module

MODx_CTRL Instruction
The MODx_CTRL (Control) instruction is used to enable and initialize the Modem module. This instruction should be called every scan and should only be used once in the project.
MODx_XFR Instruction
The MODx_XFR (Data Transfer) instruction is used to command the Modem module to read and write data to another S7-200 CPU or a Modbus device. This instruction requires 20 to 30 seconds from the time the START input is triggered until the Done bit is set. The EN bit must be on to enable a command to the module, and should remain on until the Done bit is set, signaling completion of the process. An XFR command is sent to the Modem module on each scan when START input is on and the module is not currently busy. The START input can be pulsed on through an edge detection element, which only allows one command to be sent. Phone is the number of one of the data transfer telephone numbers. You can use the symbolic name you assigned to each data transfer telephone number when the number was defined with the Modem Expansion wizard. Data is the number of one of the defined data transfers. You can use the symbolic name you assigned to the data transfer when the request was defined using the Modem Expansion wizard. Done is a bit that comes on when the Modem module completes the data transfer. Error is a byte that contains the result of the data transfer. Table 10-4 defines the possible error conditions that could result from executing this instruction.

MODx_MSG Instruction
The MODx_MSG (Send Message) instruction is used to send a paging or SMS message from Modem module. This instruction requires 20 to 30 seconds from the time the START input is triggered until the Done bit is set. The EN bit must be on to enable a command to the module, and should remain on until the Done bit is set, signaling completion of the process. A MSG command is sent to the Modem module on each scan when START input is on and the module is not currently busy. The START input can be pulsed on through an edge detection element, which only allows one command to be sent. Phone is the number of one of the message telephone numbers. You can use the symbolic name you assigned to each message telephone number the when the number was defined with the Modem Expansion wizard. Msg is the number of one of the defined messages. You can use the symbolic name you assigned to the message when the message was defined using the Modem Expansion wizard. Done is a bit that comes on when the Modem module completes the sending of the message to the service provider. Error is a byte that contains the result of this request to the module. Table 10-8 defines the possible error conditions that could result from executing this instruction.

Special Memory Location for the Modem Module

Fifty bytes of special memory (SM) are allocated to each intelligent module based on its physical position in the I/O expansion bus. When an error condition or a change in status is detected, the module indicates this by updating the SM locations corresponding to the modules position. If it is the first module, it updates SMB200 through SMB249 as needed to report status and error information. If it is the second module, it updates SMB250 through SMB299, and so on. See Table 10-10.

Understanding the Configuration Table
The Modem Expansion wizard has been developed to make modem applications easy by automatically generating the configuration table based upon the answers you give about your system. Configuration table information is provided for advanced users who want to create their own Modem module control routines and format their own messages. The configuration table is located in the V memory area of the S7-200. In Table 10-12, the Byte Offset column of the table is the byte offset from the location pointed to by the configuration area pointer in SM memory. The configuration table information is divided into four sections.
-
The Configuration Block contains information to configure the module. The Callback Telephone Number Block contains the predefined telephone numbers allowed for callback security. The Message Telephone Number Block contains the telephone numbers used when dialing messaging services or CPU data transfers. The Message Block contains the predefined messages to send to the messaging services.

Chapter 10
Messaging Telephone Number Format

The Messaging Telephone Number is a structure which contains the information needed by the Modem module to send a message. The Messaging Telephone Number is an ASCII string with a leading length byte followed by ASCII characters. The maximum length of a Messaging Telephone Number is 120 bytes (which includes the length byte). The Messaging Telephone Number contains up to 6 fields separated by a forward slash (/) character. Back-to-back slashes indicate an empty (null) field. Null fields are set to default values in the Modem module. Format: <Telephone Number>/<ID>/<Password/<Protocol>/<Standard>/<Format> The Telephone Number field is the telephone number that the Modem module dials when sending a message. If the message being sent is a text or SMS message, this is the telephone number of the service provider. If the message is a numeric page, this field is the pager telephone number. If the message is a CPU data transfer, this is the telephone number of the remote device. The maximum number of characters in this field is 40. The ID is the pager number or cellular telephone number. This field should consist of the digits 0 to 9 only. If the protocol is a CPU data transfer, this field is used to supply the address of the remote device. Up to 20 characters are allowed in this field. The Password field is used to supply the a password for messages sent via TAP if a password is required by the service provider. For messages sent via UCP this field is used as the originating address or telephone number. If the message is a CPU data transfer to another Modem module, this field can be used to supply the password of the remote Modem module. The password can be up to 15 characters in length. The Protocol field consists of one ASCII character which tells the Modem module how it should format and transmit the message. The following values are allowed: 1 2 3 4 5 6 ------Numeric paging protocol (default) TAP UCP command 1 UCP command 30 UCP command 51 CPU data transfer
The Standard field forces the Modem module to use a specific modem standard. The standard field is one ASCII character. The following values are allowed: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ---------Bell 103 Bell 212 V.21 V.22 V.22 bit V.23c V.32 V.32 bit V.34 (default)
The Format field is three ASCII characters which specify the number of data bits and parity to be used when transmitting the message. This field does not apply if the protocol is set to numeric paging. Only the following two settings are allowed: 8N1 -- 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit (default) 7E1 -- 7 data bits, even parity, one stop bit
327
Text Message Format

The Text Message Format defines the format of text paging or SMS messages. These types of messages can contain text and embedded variables. The text message is an ASCII string with a leading length byte followed by ASCII characters. The maximum length of a text message is 120 bytes (which includes the length byte). Format: <Text><Variable><Text><Variable>... The Text field consists of ASCII characters. The Variable field defines an embedded data value which the Modem module reads from the local CPU, formats, and places in the message. The percent (%) character is used to mark the start and the end of a variable field. The address and the left fields are separated with a colon. The delimiter between the Left and Right fields can be either a period or a comma and is used as the decimal point in the formatted variable. The syntax for the variable field is: %Address:Left.Right Format% The Address field specifies the address, data type and size of the embedded data value (i.e. VD100, VW50, MB20 or T10). The following data types are allowed: I, Q, M, SM, V, T (word only), C (word only), and AI (word only). Byte, word and double word sizes are allowed. The Left field defines the number of digits to display left of the decimal point. This value should be large enough to handle the expected range of the embedded variable including a minus sign if needed. If Left is zero the value is displayed with a leading zero. The valid range for Left is 0 to 10. The Right field defines the number of digits to display right of the decimal point. Zeros to the right of the decimal point are always displayed. If Right is zero the number is displayed without a decimal point. The valid range for Right is 0 to 10. The Format field specifies the display format of the embedded value. The following characters are allowed for the format field: i -- signed integer u -- unsigned integer h -- hexadecimal f -- floating point/real Example: Temperature = %VW100:3.1i% Pressure = %VD200:4.3f%
328
Chapter 10
CPU Data Transfer Message Format

A CPU data transfer, either a CPU-to-CPU or a CPU-to-Modbus data transfer, is specified using the CPU Data Transfer Message Format. A CPU Data Transfer Message is an ASCII string which can specify any number of data transfers between devices, up to the number of specifications that fit in the maximum message length of 120 bytes (119 characters plus a length byte). An ASCII space can be used to separate the data transfer specifications, but is not required. All data transfer specifications are executed within one connection. Data transfers are executed in the order defined in the message. If an error is detected in a data transfer, the connection to the remote device is terminated and subsequent transactions are not processed. If the operation is specified as a read, Count number of words are read from the remote device starting at the Remote_address, and then written to V Memory in the local CPU starting at the Local_address. If the operation is specified as a write, Count number of words are read from the local CPU starting at the Local_address, and then written to the remote device starting at Remote_address. Format: <Operation>=<Count>,<Local_address>,<Remote_address> The Operation field consists of one ASCII character and defines the type of transfer. R -- Read data from the remote device W -- Write data to the remote device The Count field specifies the number of words to be transferred. The valid range for the count field is 1 to 100 words. The Local_address field specifies the V Memory address in the local CPU for the data transfer (i.e. VW100). The Remote_address field specifies the address in the remote device for the data transfer (i.e. VW500). This address is always specified as a V Memory address even if the data transfer is to a Modbus device. If the remote device is a Modbus device, the conversion between V Memory address and Modbus address is as follows: Modbus address = 1 + (V Memory address / 2) V Memory address = (Modbus address -- 1) * 2 Example: R=20,VW100, VW200 W=50,VW500,VW1000 R=100,VW1000,VW2000

Using the USS Protocol Library to Control a MicroMaster Drive

STEP 7--Micro/WIN Instruction Libraries makes controlling MicroMaster drives easier by including preconfigured subroutines and interrupt routines that are specifically designed for using the USS protocol to communicate with a motor drive. You can control the physical drive and the read/write drive parameters with the USS instructions. You find these instructions in the Libraries folder of the STEP 7--Micro/WIN instruction tree. When you select a USS instruction, one or more associated subroutines (USS1 through USS7) are added automatically. Siemens Libraries are sold on a separate CD, STEP 7--Micro/WIN Add-On: Instruction Library, with the order number 6ES7 830--2BC00--0YX0. After version 1.1 of the Siemens Library is purchased and installed, any subsequent STEP 7--Micro/WIN V3.2x and V4.0 upgrade that you install will also upgrade your libraries automatically at no additional cost (when library additions or modifications are made).

Requirements for Using the USS Protocol

The STEP 7--Micro/WIN Instruction Libraries provide subroutines, interrupt routines, and instructions to support the USS protocol. The USS instructions use the following resources in the S7-200:
-
USS Protocol is an interrupt driven application. In the worst case the receive message interrupt routine requires up to 2.5ms to execute. During this time all other interrupt events are queued for service after the receive message interrupt routine has been executed. If your application cannot tolerate this worst case delay, then you may want to consider other solutions for controlling drives. Initializing the USS protocol dedicates an S7-200 port for USS communications. You use the USS_INIT instruction to select either USS or PPI for port 0. (USS refers to the USS protocol for SIMOTION MicroMaster drives.) You can also use USS_INIT_P1 to assign port 1 for USS communication. When a port is set to use the USS protocol for communicating with drives, you cannot use the port for any other purpose, including communicating with STEP 7--Micro/WIN. During the development of the program for an application using the USS protocol, you should use a two port model, CPU 226, CPU 226XM, or EM 277 PROFIBUS_DP module connected to a PROFIBUS CP card in your computer. The second communications port allows STEP 7--Micro/WIN to monitor the control program while USS protocol is running.
The USS instructions affect all of the SM locations that are associated with Freeport communications on the assigned port. The USS subroutines and interrupt routines are stored in your program. The USS instructions increase the amount of memory required for your program by up to 3050 bytes. Depending on the specific USS instructions used, the support routines for these instructions can increase the overhead for the control program by at least 2150 bytes, up to 3500 bytes. The variables for the USS instructions require a 400-byte block of V memory. The starting address for this block is assigned by the user and is reserved for USS variables. Some of the USS instructions also require a 16-byte communications buffer. As a parameter for the instruction, you provide a starting address in V memory for this buffer. It is recommended that a unique buffer be assigned for each instance of USS instructions. When performing calculations, the USS instructions use accumulators AC0 to AC3. You can also use the accumulators in your program; however, the values in the accumulators will be changed by the USS instructions. The USS instructions cannot be used in an interrupt routine.
Tip To change the operation of a port back to PPI so that you can communicate with STEP 7--Micro/WIN, use another USS_INIT instruction to reassign the port to PPI operation.. You can also set the mode switch on the S7-200 to STOP mode. This resets the parameters for the port. Be aware that stopping the communications to the drives also stops the drives.
Calculating the Time Required for Communicating with the Drive

Communications with the drive are asynchronous to the S7-200 scan. The S7-200 typically completes several scans before one drive communications transaction is completed. The following factors help determine the amount of time required: the number of drives present, the baud rate, and the scan time of the S7-200.
332
Chapter 11
Some drives require longer delays when using the parameter access instructions. The amount of time required for a parameter access is dependent on the drive type and the parameter being accessed. After a USS_INIT instruction assigns Port 0 to use the USS Protocol (or USS_INIT_P1 for port 1), the S7-200 regularly polls all active drives at the intervals shown in Table 11-1. You must set the time-out parameter of each drive to allow for this task.
Table 11-1 Baud Rate 1200 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200
Communications Times Time Between Polls of Active Drives (with No Parameter Access Instructions Active) 240 ms (maximum) times the number of drives 130 ms (maximum) times the number of drives 75 ms (maximum) times the number of drives 50 ms (maximum) times the number of drives 35 ms (maximum) times the number of drives 30 ms (maximum) times the number of drives 25 ms (maximum) times the number of drives 25 ms (maximum) times the number of drives
Tip Only one USS_RPM_x or USS_WPM_x instruction can be active at a time. The Done output of each instruction should signal completion before user logic initiates a new instruction. Use only one USS_CTRL instruction for each drive.
Using the USS Instructions

To use the USS protocol instructions in your S7-200 controller program, follow these steps: 1. Insert the USS_INIT instruction in your program and execute the USS_INIT instruction for one scan only. You can use the USS_INIT instruction either to initiate or to change the USS communications parameters. When you insert the USS_INIT instruction, several hidden subroutines and interrupt routines are automatically added to your program. 2. Place only one USS_CTRL instruction in your program for each active drive. You can add as many USS_RPM_x and USS_WPM_x instructions as required, but only one of these can be active at a time. 3. Allocate the V memory for the library instructions by right-clicking (to get the menu) on the Program Block node in the instruction tree. Select the Library Memory option to display the Library Memory Allocation dialog box. 4. 4 5. Configure th d i parameters t match th C fi the drive t to t h the baud rate and address used in the program.
Figure 11-1 Allocating V Memory for the Instruction Library
Connect the communications cable between the S7-200 and the drives. Ensure that all of the control equipment, such as the S7-200, that is connected to the drive be connected by a short, thick cable to the same ground or star point as the drive.
Caution Interconnecting equipment with different reference potentials can cause unwanted currents to flow through the interconnecting cable. These unwanted currents can cause communications errors or damage equipment. Ensure that all equipment that is connected with a communications cable either shares a common circuit reference or is isolated to prevent unwanted current flows. The shield must be tied to chassis ground or pin 1 on the 9-pin connector. It is recommended that you tie wiring terminal 2--0V on the MicroMaster drive to chassis ground.

Instructions for the USS Protocol

USS_INIT Instruction
The USS_INIT instruction (port 0) or USS_INIT_P1 (port 1) is used to enable and initialize, or to disable MicroMaster Drive communications. Before any other USS instruction can be used, the USS_INIT instruction must be executed without errors. The instruction completes and the Done bit is set immediately, before continuing to the next instruction. The instruction is executed on each scan when the EN input is on. Execute the USS_INIT instruction only once for each change in communications state. Use an edge detection instruction to pulse the EN input on. To change the initialization parameters, execute a new USS_INIT instruction. The value for Mode selects the communications protocol: an input value of 1 assigns a port to USS protocol and enables the protocol, and an input value of 0 assigns port 0 to PPI and disables the USS protocol. Baud sets the baud rate at 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200. Baud rates 57600 and 115200 are supported by S7-200 CPUs version 1.2 or later.

Active indicates which drives are active. Some drives only support addresses 0 through 30. Figure 11-2 shows the description and format of the active drive input. Any drive that is marked as Active is automatically polled in the background to control the drive, collect status, and prevent serial link time-outs in the drive drive. Refer to Table 11-1 to compute the time between status polls.

Chapter 11
USS_CTRL Instruction
The USS_CTRL (port 0) or USS_CTRL_P1 (port 1) instruction is used to control an active MicroMaster drive. The USS_CTRL instruction places the selected commands in a communications buffer, which is then sent to the addressed drive (Drive parameter), if that drive has been selected in the Active parameter of the USS_INIT instruction. Only one USS_CTRL instruction should be assigned to each drive. Some drives report speed only as a positive value. If the speed is negative, the drive reports the speed as positive but reverses the D_Dir (direction) bit. The EN bit must be on to enable the USS_CTRL instruction. This instruction should always be enabled. RUN (RUN/STOP) indicates whether the drive is on (1) or off (0). When the RUN bit is on, the MicroMaster drive receives a command to start running at the specified speed and direction. In order for the drive to run, the following must be true:
-
Drive must be selected as Active in USS_INIT. OFF2 and OFF3 must be set to 0. Fault and Inhibit must be 0.
When RUN is off, a command is sent to the MicroMaster drive to ramp the speed down until the motor comes to a stop. The OFF2 bit is used to allow the MicroMaster drive to coast to a stop. The OFF3 bit is used to command the MicroMaster drive to stop quickly. The Resp_R (response received) bit acknowledges a response from the drive. All the Active drives are polled for the latest drive status information. Each time the S7-200 receives a response from the drive, the Resp_R bit is turned on for one scan and all the following values are updated. The F_ACK (fault acknowledge) bit is used to acknowledge a fault in the drive. The drive clears the fault (Fault) when F_ACK goes from 0 to 1. The DIR (direction) bit indicates in which direction the drive should move.

The Drive (drive address) input is the address of the MicroMaster drive to which the USS_CTRL command is to be sent. Valid addresses: 0 to 31 The Type (drive type) input selects the type of drive. For a MicroMaster 3 (or earlier) drive, set Type to 0. For a MicroMaster 4 drive, set Type to 1. Speed_SP (speed setpoint) is drive speed as a percentage of full speed. Negative values of Speed_SP cause the drive to reverse its direction of rotation. Range: --200.0% to 200.0% Error is an error byte that contains the result of the latest communications request to the drive. Table 11-6 defines the error conditions that could result from executing the instruction. Status is the raw value of the status word returned by the drive. Figure 11-3 shows the status bits for Standard Status Word and Main Feedback. Speed is drive speed as a percentage of full speed.

USS_RPM_x Instruction
There are three read instructions for the USS protocol:
-
USS_RPM_W (port 0) or USS_RPM_W_P1 (port 1) instruction reads an unsigned word parameter. USS_RPM_D (port 0) or USS_RPM_D_P1 (port 1) instruction reads an unsigned double word parameter. USS_RPM_R (port 0) or USS_RPM_R_P1 (port 1) instruction reads a floating-point parameter.
Only one read (USS_RPM_x) or write (USS_WPM_x) instruction can be active at a time. The USS_RPM_x transactions complete when the MicroMaster drive acknowledges receipt of the command, or when an error condition is posted. The logic scan continues to execute while this process awaits a response. The EN bit must be on to enable transmission of a request, and should remain on until the Done bit is set, signaling completion of the process. For example, a USS_RPM_x request is transmitted to the MicroMaster drive on each scan when XMT_REQ input is on. Therefore, the XMT_REQ input should be pulsed on through an edge detection element which causes one request to be transmitted for each positive transition of the EN input. The Drive input is the address of the MicroMaster drive to which the USS_RPM_x command is to be sent. Valid addresses of individual drives are 0 to 31. Param is the parameter number. Index is the index value of the parameter that is to be read. Value is the parameter value returned. The address of a 16-byte buffer must be supplied to the DB_Ptr input. This buffer is used by the USS_RPM_x instruction to store the results of the command issued to the MicroMaster drive. When the USS_RPM_x instruction completes, the Done output is turned on and the Error output byte and the Value output contain the results of executing the instruction. Table 11-6 defines the error conditions that could result from executing the instruction. The Error and Value outputs are not valid until the Done output turns on.

USS_WPM_x Instruction
There are three write instructions for the USS protocol:
-
USS_WPM_W (port 0) or USS_WPM_W_P1 (port 1) instruction writes an unsigned word parameter. USS_WPM_D (port 0) or USS_WPM_D_P1 (port 1) instruction writes an unsigned double word parameter. USS_WPM_R (port 0) or USS_WPM_R_P1 (port 1) instruction writes a floating-point parameter.
Only one read (USS_RPM_x) or write (USS_WPM_x) instruction can be active at a time. The USS_WPM_x transactions complete when the MicroMaster drive acknowledges receipt of the command, or when an error condition is posted. The logic scan continues to execute while this process awaits a response. The EN bit must be on to enable transmission of a request, and should remain on until the Done bit is set, signaling completion of the process. For example, a USS_WPM_x request is transmitted to the MicroMaster drive on each scan when XMT_REQ input is on. Therefore, the XMT_REQ input should be pulsed on through an edge detection element which causes one request to be transmitted for each positive transition of the EN input. The EEPROM input enables writing to both RAM and EEPROM of the drive when it is on and only to the RAM when it is off. Note that this function is not supported by MM3 drives, so this input must be off. The Drive input is the address of the MicroMaster drive to which the USS_WPM_x command is to be sent. Valid addresses of individual drives are 0 to 31. Param is the parameter number. Index is the index value of the parameter that is to be written. Value is the parameter value to be written to the RAM in the drive. For MicroMaster 3 drives, you can also write this value to the EEPROM of the drive, based on how you have configured P971 (EEPROM Storage Control). The address of a 16-byte buffer must be supplied to the DB_Ptr input. This buffer is used by the USS_WPM_x instruction to store the results of the command issued to the MicroMaster drive. When the USS_WPM_x instruction completes, the Done output is turned on and the Error output byte contains the result of executing the instruction. Table 11-6 defines the error conditions that could result from executing the instruction. When the EEPROM input is turned on, the instruction writes to both the RAM and the EEPROM of the drive. When the the input is turned off, the instruction writes only to the RAM of the drive. Because the MicroMaster 3 drive does not support this function, you must ensure that this input is off in order to use this instruction with a MicroMaster 3 drive.

Caution When you use an USS_WPM_x instruction to update the parameter set stored in drive EEPROM, you must ensure that the maximum number of write cycles (approximately 50,000) to the EEPROM is not exceeded. Exceeding the maximum number of write cycles will result in corruption of the stored data and subsequent data loss. The number of read cycles is unlimited. If frequent writes to the drive parameters are required, then you should first set the EEPROM storage control parameter in the drive to zero (for MicroMaster 3 drives) and turn off the EEPROM input for MicroMaster 4 drives.

Connecting and Setting Up the MicroMaster Series 3 Drive

Connecting the MicroMaster 3 Drive
You can use the standard PROFIBUS cable and connectors to connect the S7-200 to the MicroMaster Series 3 (MM3) drive. See Figure 11-5 for the proper cable bias and termination of the interconnecting cable. Caution Interconnecting equipment with different reference potentials can cause unwanted currents to flow through the interconnecting cable. These unwanted currents can cause communications errors or damage equipment. Be sure all equipment that you are about to connect with a communications cable either shares a common circuit reference or is isolated to prevent unwanted current flows. The shield must be tied to chassis ground or pin 1 on the 9-pin connector. It is recommended that you tie wiring terminal 2--0V on the MicroMaster drive to chassis ground.

Connecting and Setting Up the MicroMaster Series 4 Drive

Connecting the MicroMaster 4 Drive
To make the connection to the MicroMaster Series 4 (MM4) drive, insert the ends of the RS-485 cable into the two caged clamp, screwless terminals provided for USS operation. The standard PROFIBUS cable and connectors can be used to connect the S7-200. Caution Interconnecting equipment with different reference potentials can cause unwanted currents to flow through the interconnecting cable. These unwanted currents can cause communications errors or damage equipment. Be sure all equipment that you are about to connect with a communications cable either shares a common circuit reference or is isolated to prevent unwanted current flows. The shield must be tied to chassis ground or pin 1 on the 9-pin connector. It is recommended that you tie wiring terminal 2--0V on the MicroMaster drive to chassis ground. As shown in Figure 11-6, the two wires at the opposite end of the RS-485 cable must be inserted into the MM4 drive terminal blocks. To make the cable connection on a MM4 drive, remove the drive cover(s) to access the terminal blocks. See the MM4 user manual for details about how to remove the covers(s) of your specific drive. The terminal block connections are labeled numerically. Using a PROFIBUS connector on the S7-200 side, connect the A terminal of the cable to the drive terminal 15 (for an MM420) or terminal 30 (MM440). Connect the B terminal of the cable connector to terminal 14 (MM420) or terminal 29 (MM440).

Figure 11-6 Connecting to the MM420 Terminal Block
If the S7-200 is a terminating node in the network, or if the connection is point-to-point, it is necessary to use terminals A1 and B1 (not A2 and B2) of the connector since they allow the termination settings to be set (for example, with DP connector type 6ES7 972--0BA40--0X40). Caution Make sure the drive covers are replaced properly before supplying power to the unit. If the drive is configured as the terminating node in the network, then termination and bias resistors must also be wired to the appropriate terminal connections. For example, Figure 11-7 shows an example of the connections necessary for termination and bias for the MM4 drive.

Setting Up the MM4 Drive

Before you connect a drive to the S7-200, you must ensure that the drive has the following system parameters. Use the keypad on the drive to set the parameters: 1. Reset the drive to factory settings (optional): P0010=30 P0970=1
If you skip this step, ensure that the following parameters are set to these values: USS PZD length: P2012 Index 0=2 USS PKW length: P2013 Index 0=127 2. 3. Enable the read/write access to all parameters (Expert mode): Check motor settings for your drive: P0003=3 P0304=Rated motor voltage (V) P0305=Rated motor current (A) P0307=Rated motor power (W) P0310=Rated motor frequency (Hz) P0311=Rated motor speed (RPM)
The settings will vary according to the motor(s) being used. In order to set the parameters P304, P305, P307, P310, and P311, you must first set parameter P010 to 1 (quick commissioning mode). When you are finished setting the parameters, set parameter P010 to 0. Parameters P304, P305, P307, P310, and P311 can only be changed in the quick commissioning mode. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Set the local/remote control mode: Set selection of frequency setpoint to USS on COM Link: Ramp up time (optional): Ramp down time (optional): Set the serial link reference frequency: Set the USS normalization: P1120=0 to 650.00 P1121=0 to 650.00 P2000=1 to 650 Hz P2009 Index 0=0 P2010 Index 0= 4 5 6 7 8 9 12 (2400 baud) (4800 baud) (9600 baud) (19200 baud (38400 baud) (57600 baud) (115200 baud) P0700 Index 0=5 P1000 Index 0=5
This is the time in seconds that it takes the motor to accelerate to maximum frequency. This is the time in seconds that it takes the motor to decelerate to a complete stop.
10. Set the baud rate of the RS--485 serial interface:
11. Enter the Slave address: 12. Set the serial link timeout:
P2011 Index 0=0 to 31 P2014 Index 0=0 to 65,535 ms (0=timeout disabled)
Each drive (a maximum of 31) can be operated over the bus.
This is the maximum permissible period between two incoming data telegrams. This feature is used to turn off the inverter in the event of a communications failure. Timing starts after a valid data telegram has been received. If a further data telegram is not received within the specified time period, the inverter will trip and display fault code F0070. Setting the value to zero switches off the control. Use Table 11-1 to calculate the time between the status polls to the drive. 13.

Using the Modbus Protocol Library

The STEP 7--Micro/WIN Instruction Libraries make communicating to Modbus devices easier by including pre-configured subroutines and interrupt routines that are specifically designed for Modbus communications. With the Modbus Protocol Instructions, you can configure the S7-200 to act as a Modbus master or slave device. You find these instructions in the Libraries folder of the STEP 7--Micro/WIN instruction tree. When you put a Modbus instruction in your program, one or more associated subroutines are automatically added to your project. Siemens Libraries are sold on a separate CD, STEP 7--Micro/WIN Add-On: Instruction Library, with the order number 6ES7 830--2BC00--0YX0. After version 1.1 of the Siemens Library is purchased and installed, any subsequent STEP 7--Micro/WIN V3.2x and V4.0 upgrade that you install will also upgrade your libraries automatically at no additional cost (when library additions or modifications are made).

Overview
STEP 7--Micro/WIN Instruction Libraries make communicating to Modbus master and slave devices easier by including pre-configured subroutines and interrupt routines that are specifically designed for Modbus communications. Modbus slave instructions can configure the S7-200 to act as a Modbus RTU slave device and communicate to Modbus master devices. Modbus master instructions can configure the S7-200 to act as a Modbus RTU master device and communicate to one or more Modbus slave devices. The Modbus instructions are installed into the libraries folder in the STEP 7--Micro/WIN instruction tree. These instructions enable the S7-200 to act as a Modbus device. When you place a Modbus instruction in your program, one or more associated subroutines are automatically added to your project. There are two versions of the Modbus master protocol library. One version uses port 0 of the CPU and the other uses port 1 of the CPU. The port 1 library has a _P1 appended to the POU names (for example, MBUS_CTRL_P1) to denote that the POU utilizes port 1 on the CPU. The two Modbus master libraries are identical in all other respects. The Modbus slave library only supports port 0 communication.
Requirements for Using Modbus Protocol

The Modbus Master Protocol instructions use the following resources from the S7-200:
-
Initializing the Modbus Slave Protocol dedicates the specific CPU port for Modbus Master Protocol communications. When the CPU port is being used for Modbus Master Protocol communications, it cannot be used for any other purpose, including communications with STEP 7--Micro/WIN. The MBUS_CTRL instruction controls assignment of Port 0 to Modbus Master Protocol or PPI. The MBUS_CTRL_P1 instruction (from the port 1 library) controls assignment of Port 1 to Modbus Master Protocol or PPI
The Modbus Master Protocol instructions affect all of the SM locations associated with Freeport communications port in use The Modbus Master Protocol instructions use 3 subroutines and 1 interrupt routine. The Modbus Master Protocol instructions require about 1620 bytes of program space for the two Modbus Master instructions and the support routines. The variables for the Modbus Master Protocol instructions require a 284 byte block of V memory. The starting address for this block is assigned by the user and is reserved for Modbus variables. The S7-200 CPU must be firmware revision 2.00 or greater to support the Modbus Master Protocol Library (CPU MLFB 21x--2xx23--0XB0) The Modbus Master Library uses the user interrupts for some functions. The user interrupts must not be disabled by the user program.
Tip To change the operation of the CPU communications port back to PPI so that you can communicate with STEP 7-Micro/WIN, you can do one of the following: -- Set the Mode parameter of the MBUS_CTRL instruction to a zero (0). -- Set the mode switch on the S7-200 to STOP mode position. Either of these methods will set the CPU communications port to communicate with STEP 7--Micro/WIN.

The Modbus Slave Protocol instructions use the following resources from the S7-200:
-
Initializing the Modbus Slave Protocol dedicates Port 0 for Modbus Slave Protocol communications. When Port 0 is being used for Modbus Slave Protocol communications, it cannot be used for any other purpose, including communications with STEP 7--Micro/WIN. The MBUS_INIT instruction controls assignment of Port 0 to Modbus Slave Protocol or PPI.
The Modbus Slave Protocol instructions affect all of the SM locations associated with Freeport communications on Port 0. The Modbus Slave Protocol instructions use 3 subroutines and 2 interrupts. The Modbus Slave Protocol instructions require 1857 bytes of program space for the two Modbus Slave instructions and the support routines. The variables for the Modbus Slave Protocol instructions require a 779-byte block of V memory. The starting address for this block is assigned by the user and is reserved for Modbus variables.
Tip To change the operation of Port 0 back to PPI so that you can communicate with STEP 7-Micro/WIN, you can do one of the following: -- Use another MBUS_INIT instruction to reassign Port 0. -- Set the mode switch on the S7-200 to STOP mode. Either of these methods will set the parameters for Port 0 so that you can communicate with STEP 7--Micro/WIN.
Initialization and Execution Time for Modbus Protocol

Modbus Master Protocol -- The Modbus Master Protocol requires a small amount of time every scan to execute the MBUS_CTRL instruction. The time will be about 1.11 milliseconds when the MBUS_CTRL is initializing the Modbus Master (first scan), and about 0.41 milliseconds on subsequent scans. The scan time is extended when the MBUS_MSB subroutine executes a request. Most of the time is spent calculating the Modbus CRC for the request and the response. The CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) insures the integrity of the communications message. The scan time is extended by about 1.85 milliseconds for each word in request and in the response. A maximum request/response (read or write of 120 words) extends the scan time to approximately 222 milliseconds. A read request extends the scan mainly when the response is received from the slave, and to a lesser extent when the request is sent. A write request extends the scan mainly when the data is sent to the slave, and to a lesser extent when the response is received. Modbus Slave Protocol -- Modbus communications utilize a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) to insure the integrity of the communications messages. The Modbus Slave Protocol uses a table of precalculated values to decrease the time required to process a message. The initialization of this CRC table requires about 240 milliseconds. This initialization is done inside the MBUS_INIT subroutine and is normally done in the first scan of the user program after entering RUN mode. You are responsible for resetting the watchdog timer and keeping the outputs enabled (if required for expansion modules) if the time required by the MBUS_INIT subroutine and any other user initialization exceeds the 500 millisecond scan watchdog. The output module watchdog timer is reset by writing to the outputs of the module. See the Watchdog Reset Instruction in Chapter 6. The scan time is extended when the MBUS_SLAVE subroutine services a request. Since most of the time is spent calculating the Modbus CRC, the scan time is extended by about 420 microseconds for every byte in the request and in the response. A maximum request/response (read or write of 120 words) extends the scan time by approximately 100 milliseconds.

Modbus Addressing
Modbus addresses are normally written as 5 character values containing the data type and the offset. The first character determines the data type, and the last four characters select the proper value within the data type. Modbus Master Addressing -- The Modbus Master instructions then map the address to the correct functions to send to the slave device. The following Modbus addresses are supported by the Modbus Master instructions:
-
00001 to 09999 are discrete outputs (coils) 10001 to 19999 are discrete inputs (contacts) 30001 to 39999 are input registers (generally analog inputs) 40001 to 49999 are holding registers
All Modbus addresses are one-based, meaning that the first data value starts at address one. The range of valid addresses will depend on the slave device. Different slave devices will support different data types and address ranges. Modbus Slave Addressing --The Modbus Master device then maps the addresses to the correct functions. The following addresses are supported by the Modbus Slave instructions:
-
00001 to 00128 are discrete outputs mapped to Q0.0 - Q15.7 10001 to 10128 are discrete inputs mapped to I0.0 - I15.7 30001 to 30032 are analog input registers mapped to AIW0 to AIW62 40001 to 04xxxx are holding registers mapped to V memory.
Table 12-1 Mapping Modbus Addresses to the S7-200 S7-200 Address Q0.0 Q0.1 Q0.2 ... Q15.6 Q15.7 I0.0 I0.1 I0.2 ... I15.6 I15.7 AIW0 AIW2 AIW4 ... AIW62 HoldStart HoldStart+2 HoldStart+4 ...

All Modbus addresses are one-based. Table 12-1 shows the mapping of Modbus addresses to the S7-200 addresses. The Modbus Slave Protocol allows you to limit the amount of inputs, outputs, analog inputs, and holding registers (V memory) accessible to a Modbus master. The MaxIQ parameter of the MBUS_INIT instruction specifies the maximum number of discrete inputs or outputs (Is or Qs) the Modbus master is allowed to access. The MaxAI parameter of the MBUS_INIT instruction specifies the maximum number of input registers (AIWs) the Modbus master is allowed to access. The MaxHold parameter of the MBUS_INIT instruction specifies the maximum number of holding registers (V memory words) the Modbus master is allowed to access. See the description of the MBUS_INIT instruction for more information on setting up the memory restrictions for the Modbus slave.

Chapter 12
Configuring the Symbol Table

After you enter an address for the first symbol, the table automatically calculates and assigns the remainder of the symbols in the table. You should assign a starting V location for the table which occupies 779 bytes. Be sure that the assignment of the Modbus Slave symbols do not overlap with the V memory assigned to the Modbus holding registers with the HoldStart and MaxHold parameters on the MBUS_INIT instruction. If there is any overlap of the memory areas, the MBUS_INIT instruction returns an error.
Using the Modbus Master Instructions

To use the Modbus Master instructions in your S7-200 program, follow these steps: 1. Insert the MBUS_CTRL instruction in your program and execute the MBUS_CTRL on every scan. You can use the MBUS_CTRL instruction either to initiate or to change the Modbus communications parameters. When you insert the MBUS_CTRL instruction, several hidden subroutines and interrupt routines are automatically added to your program. 2. 3. Use the Library Memory command to assign a starting address for the V memory required for Modbus Master Protocol instructions. Place one or more MBUS_MSG instructions in your program. You can add as many MBUS_MSG instructions to your program as you require, but only one of these instructions can be active at a time. Connect the communications cable between Port 0 on the S7-200 CPU (or Port 1 for the Port 1 library), and the Modbus slave devices.
4.
Caution Interconnecting equipment with different reference potentials can cause unwanted currents to flow through the interconnecting cable. These unwanted currents can cause communications errors or damage equipment. Ensure that all equipment that is connected with a communications cable either shares a common circuit reference or is isolated to prevent unwanted current flows. The Modbus Master instructions use the Modbus functions shown below to read or write a specific Modbus address. The Modbus slave device must support the Modbus function(s) required to read or write a particular Modbus address.

Using the Modbus Slave Instructions

To use the Modbus Slave instructions in your S7-200 program, follow these steps: 1. Insert the MBUS_INIT instruction in your program and execute the MBUS_INIT instruction for one scan only. You can use the MBUS_INIT instruction either to initiate or to change the Modbus communications parameters. When you insert the MBUS_INIT instruction, several hidden subroutines and interrupt routines are automatically added to your program. 2. 3. 4. Use the Library Memory command to assign a starting address for the V memory required for Modbus Slave Protocol instructions. Place only one MBUS_SLAVE instruction in your program. This instruction is called every scan to service any requests that have been received. Connect the communications cable between Port 0 on the S7-200 and the Modbus master device.
Caution Interconnecting equipment with different reference potentials can cause unwanted currents to flow through the interconnecting cable. These unwanted currents can cause communications errors or damage equipment. Ensure that all equipment that is connected with a communications cable either shares a common circuit reference or is isolated to prevent unwanted current flows. The accumulators (AC0, AC1, AC2, AC3) are utilized by the Modbus slave instructions and appear in the Cross Reference listing. Prior to execution, the values in the accumulators of a Modbus Slave instruction are saved and restored to the accumulators before the Modbus Slave instruction is complete, ensuring that all user data in the accumulators is preserved while executing a Modbus Slave instruction. The Modbus Slave Protocol instructions support the Modbus RTU protocol. These instructions utilize the Freeport utilities of the S7-200 to support the most common Modbus functions. The following Modbus functions are supported:
Table 12-3 Function 1 2 3 4 5 6 15 Modbus Slave Protocol Functions Supported Description Read single/multiple coil (discrete output) status. Function 1 returns the on/off status of any number of output points (Qs). Read single/multiple contact (discrete input) status. Function 2 returns the on/off status of any number of input points (Is). Read single/multiple holding registers. Function 3 returns the contents of V memory. Holding registers are word values under Modbus and allow you to read up to 120 words in one request. Read single/multiple input registers. Function 4 returns Analog Input values. Write single coil (discrete output). Function 5 sets a discrete output point to the specified value. The point is not forced and the program can overwrite the value written by the Modbus request. Write single holding register. Function 6 writes a single holding register value to the V memory of the S7-200. Write multiple coils (discrete outputs). Function 15 writes the multiple discrete output values to the Q image register of the S7-200. The starting output point must begin on a byte boundary (for example, Q0.0 or Q2.0) and the number of outputs written must be a multiple of eight. This is a restriction for the Modbus Slave Protocol instructions. The points are not forced and the program can overwrite the values written by the Modbus request. Write multiple holding registers. Function 16 writes multiple holding registers to the V memory of the S7-200. There can be up to 120 words written in one request.

Instructions for the Modbus Protocol

MBUS_INIT Instruction (Initialize Slave)
The MBUS_INIT instruction is used to enable and initialize, or to disable Modbus communications. Before the MBUS_SLAVE instruction can be used, the MBUS_INIT instruction must be executed without errors. The instruction completes and the Done bit is set immediately, before continuing to the next instruction. The instruction is executed on each scan when the EN input is on. The MBUS_INIT instruction should be executed exactly once for each change in communications state. Therefore, the EN input should be pulsed on through an edge detection element, or executed only on the first scan. The value for the Mode input selects the communications protocol: an input value of 1 assigns port 0 to Modbus protocol and enables the protocol, and an input value of 0 assigns port 0 to PPI and disables Modbus protocol. The parameter Baud sets the baud rate at 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. Baud rates 57600 and 115200 are supported by S7-200 CPUs version 1.2 or later. The parameter Addr sets the address at inclusive values between 1 and 247.

Inputs/Outputs Mode, Addr, Parity Baud, HoldStart Delay, MaxIQ, MaxAI, MaxHold Done Error
The parameter Parity is set to match the parity of the Modbus master. All settings use one stop bit. The accepted values are:
-
0-no parity 1-odd parity 2-even parity
The parameter Delay extends the standard Modbus end-of-message timeout condition by adding the specified number of milliseconds to the standard Modbus message timeout. The typical value for this parameter should be 0 when operating on a wired network. If you are using modems with error correction, set the delay to a value of 50 to 100 milliseconds. If you are using spread spectrum radios, set the delay to a value of 10 to 100 milliseconds. The Delay value can be 0 to 32767 milliseconds. The parameter MaxIQ sets the number of I and Q points available to Modbus addresses 0xxxx and 1xxxx at values of 0 to 128. A value of 0 disables all reads and writes to the inputs and outputs. The suggested value for MaxIQ is 128, which allows access to all I and Q points in the S7-200.
353
The parameter MaxAI sets the number of word input (AI) registers available to Modbus address 3xxxx at values of 0 to 32. A value of 0 disables reads of the analog inputs. The suggested value for MaxAI to allow access to all of the S7-200 analog inputs, is as follows:
-
0 for CPU 221 16 for CPU 222 32 for CPU 224, CPU 224XP, and CPU 226
The parameter MaxHold sets the number of word holding registers in V memory available to Modbus address 4xxxx. For example, to allow the master to access 2000 bytes of V memory, set MaxHold to a value of 1000 words (holding registers). The parameter HoldStart is the address of the start of the holding registers in V memory. This value is generally set to VB0, so the parameter HoldStart is set to &VB0 (address of VB0). Other V memory addresses can be specified as the starting address for the holding registers to allow VB0 to be used elsewhere in the project. The Modbus master has access to MaxHold number of words of V memory starting at HoldStart. When the MBUS_INIT instruction completes, the Done output is turned on. The Error output byte contains the result of executing the instruction. Table 12-6 defines the error conditions that could result from executing the instruction.
MBUS_SLAVE Instruction
The MBUS_SLAVE instruction is used to service a request from the Modbus master and must be executed every scan to allow it to check for and respond to Modbus requests. The instruction is executed on each scan when the EN input is on. The MBUS_SLAVE instruction has no input parameters. The Done output is on when the MBUS_SLAVE instruction responds to a Modbus request. The Done output is turned off if there was no request serviced. The Error output contains the result of executing the instruction. This output is only valid if Done is on. If Done is off, the error parameter is not changed. Table 12-6 defines the error conditions that could result from executing the instruction.

MBUS_CTRL Instruction (Initialize Master)

The MBUS_CTRL instruction for S7-200 port 0 (or MBUS_CTRL_P1 for port 1) is used to initialize, monitor, or to disable Modbus communications. Before the MBUS_MSG instruction can be used, the MBUS_CTRL instruction must be executed without errors. The instruction completes and the Done bit is set immediately before continuing to the next instruction. This instruction is executed on each scan when the EN input is on. The MBUS_CTRL instruction must be called every scan (including the first scan) to allow it to monitor the progress of any outstanding messages initiated with the MBUS_MSG instruction. The Modbus Master Protocol will not operate correctly unless MBUS_CTRL is called every scan. The value for the Mode input selects the communications protocol. An input value of 1 assigns the CPU port to Modbus protocol and enables the protocol. An input value of 0 assigns the CPU port to PPI system protocol and disables Modbus protocol. The parameter Parity is set to match the parity of the Modbus slave device. All settings use one start bit and one stop bit. The allowed values are:
-
0 -- no parity 1 -- odd parity 2 -- even parity
The parameter Timeout is set to the number of milliseconds to wait for the response from the slave. The Timeout value can be set anywhere in the range of 1 millisecond through 32767 milliseconds. A typical value would be 1000 milliseconds (1 second). The Timeout parameter should be set to a value large enough so that the slave device has time to respond at the selected baud rate. The Timeout parameter is used to determine if the Modbus slave device is responding to a request. The Timeout value determines how long the Modbus Master will wait for the first character of the response after the last character of the request has been sent. The Modbus Master will receive the entire response from the Modbus slave device if at least one character of the response is received within the Timeout time. When the MBUS_CTRL instruction completes, the Done output is turned on. The Error output contains the result of executing the instruction. Table 12-8 defines the error conditions that could result from executing the MBUS_CTRL instruction.

MBUS_MSG Instruction
The MBUS_MSG instruction (or MBUS_MSG_P1 for port 1) is used to initiate a request to a Modbus slave and process the response. The MBUS_MSG instruction initiates a request to a Modbus slave when both the EN input and the First inputs are on. Sending the request, waiting for the response, and processing the response usually requires several scans. The EN input must be on to enable the sending of the request, and should remain on until the Done bit is set. Note: Only one MBUS_MSG instruction can be active at a time. If there is more than one MBUS_MSG instruction enabled, the first MBUS_MSG instruction executed will be processed and all subsequent MBUS_MSG instructions will abort with an error code 6. The parameter First should be on for only one scan when there is a new request to send. The First input should be pulsed on through an edge detection element (i.e. Positive Edge) which will cause the request to be transmitted one time. See the example program. The parameter Slave is the address of the Modbus slave device. The allowed range is 0 through 247. Address 0 is the broadcast address and can only be used for write requests. There is no response to a broadcast request to address 0. Not all slave devices will support the broadcast address. The S7-200 Modbus Slave Library does not support the broadcast address. The parameter RW specifies if this message is to be a read or a write. The following two values are allowed for RW.
-
0 -- Read 1 -- Write
Discrete outputs (coils) and holding registers support both read and write requests. Discrete inputs (contacts) and input registers only support read requests. The parameter Addr is the starting Modbus address. The following ranges of values are allowed:
-
00001 to 09999 for discrete outputs (coils) 10001 to 19999 for discrete inputs (contacts) 30001 to 39999 for input registers 40001 to 49999 for holding registers
The specific range of values for Addr are based on the addresses that the Modbus slave device supports.
357
The parameter Count specifies the number of data elements to read or write in this request. The Count will be the number of bits for the bit data types, and the number of words for the word data types.
-
Address 0xxxx Address 1xxxx Address 3xxxx Address 4xxxx
Count is the number of bits to read or write Count is the number of bits to read Count is the number of input register words to read Count is the number of holding register words to read or write
The MBUS_MSG instruction will read or write a maximum of 120 words or 1920 bits (240 bytes of data). The actual limit on the value of Count will depend upon the limits in the Modbus slave device. The parameter DataPtr is an indirect address pointer which points to the V memory in the S7-200 CPU for the data associated with the read or write request. For a read request, DataPtr should point to the first CPU memory location used to store the data read from the Modbus slave. For a write request, DataPtr should point to the first CPU memory location of the data to be sent to the Modbus slave. The DataPtr value is passed into MBUS_MSG as an indirect address pointer. For example, if the data to be written to a Modbus slave device starts at address VW200 in the S7-200 CPU, the value for the DataPtr would be &VB200 (address of VB200). Pointers must always be a type VB even if they point to word data.

Holding registers (address 4xxxx) and input registers (address 3xxxx) are word values (2 bytes or 16 bits). S7-200 CPU words are formatted the same as Modbus registers. The lower numbered V-memory address is the most significant byte of the register. The higher numbered V--memory address is the least significant byte of the register. The table below shows how the S7-200 byte and word addressing corresponds to the Modbus register format.

The bit data (addresses 0xxxx and 1xxxx) areas are read and written as packed bytes, that is, 8 bits are packed into each byte of data. The least significant bit of the first data byte is the addressed bit number (the parameter Addr). If only a single bit is written then the bit must be in the least significant bit of the byte pointed to by DataPtr.

Format for Packed Bytes (Discrete Input Addresses)
For bit data addresses that do not start on even byte boundaries, the bit corresponding to the starting address must be in the least significant bit of the byte. See below for an example of the packed byte format for 3 bits starting at Modbus address 10004.

When writing to the discrete output data type (coils), the user is responsible for placing the bits in the correct bit positions within the packed byte before the data is passed to the MBUS_MSG instruction via DataPtr. The Done output is off while a request is being sent and the response is being received. The Done output is on when the response is complete or when the MBUS_MSG instruction was aborted because of an error. The Error output is valid only when the Done output is on. See the Modbus Master MBUS_MSG Execution Errors returned by the MBUS_MSG instruction. The low numbered error codes (1 through 8) are errors that are detected by the MBUS_MSG instruction. These error codes generally indicate a problem with the input parameters of the MBUS_MSG instruction, or a problem receiving the response from the slave. Parity and CRC errors indicate that there was a response but that the data was not received correctly. This is usually caused by an electrical problem such as a bad connection or electrical noise. The high numbered error codes (starting with 101) are errors that are returned by the Modbus slave device. These errors indicate that the slave does not support the requested function or that the requested address (either data type or range of addresses) is not supported by the Modbus slave device.
Table 12-11 Modbus Master MBUS_MSG Execution Error Codes Error Codes 0 1 Description No Error Parity error in response: This is only possible if even or odd parity is used. The transmission was disturbed and possibly incorrect data was received. This error is usually caused by an electrical problem such as incorrect wiring or electrical noise affecting the communication. Not used Receive timeout: There was no response from the slave within the Timeout time. Some possible causes are bad electrical connection to the slave device, master and slave are set to a different baud rate / parity setting, and incorrect slave address. Error in request parameter: One or more of the input parameters (Slave, RW, Addr, or Count ) is set to an illegal value. Check the documentation for allowed values for the input parameters.

The S7-200 CPU will write 4 words starting at VW100 to the Modbus slave. The data will be written to 4 holding registers in the slave starting at address 40001. The S7-200 CPU will then read 4 holding registers from the Modbus slave. The data will come from holding registers 40010 -- 40013 and be placed into the V--memory of the S7-200 CPU starting at VW200.

Example of Programming the Modbus Master Protocol The program will turn on outputs Q0.1 and Q0.2 if there is an error returned from the MBUS_MSG instruction. Network 1 // Initialize and monitor the Modbus // Master by calling MBUS_CTRL on // every scan. // The Modbus Master is set for 9600 baud // and no parity. The slave is allowed 1000 // milliseconds (1 second) to respond. Network 2 // On the first scan, reset the enable flags // (M2.0 and M2.1) used for the two // MBUS_MSG instructions. Network 3 // When I0.0 changes from OFF to ON, set // the enable flag for the first MBUS_MSG // instruction (M2.0). Network 4 // Call the MBUS_MSG instruction when the // first enable flag (M2.0) is ON. The First // parameter must be set for only the first // scan that the instruction is enabled. //This instruction writes (RW = 1) 4 holding // registers to slave 2. The write data is taken // from VB100 VB107 (4 words) in the CPU // and written to address 40001 - 40004 in // the Modbus slave. Network 5 //When the first MBUS_MSG instruction is // complete (Done goes from 0 to 1), clear // the enable for the first MBUS_MSG and set // the enable for the second MBUS_MSG // instruction. //If Error (MB1) is not zero then set Q0.1 to // show the error. Network 6 // Call the second MBUS_MSG instruction // when the second enable flag (M2.1) is ON. // The First parameter must be set for only // the first scan that the instruction is // enabled. //This instruction reads (RW = 0) 4 holding // registers from slave 2. The data is read // from address 40010 - 40013 in the Modbus // slave and copied to VB200 - VB207 (4 words) in the CPU. Network 7 //When the second MBUS_MSG instruction // is complete (Done goes from 0 to 1), clear // the enable for the second MBUS_MSG // instruction. //If Error (MB1) is not zero then set Q0.2 to // show the error.

Advanced Topics
This topic contains information for advanced users of the Modbus Master Protocol Library. Most users of the Modbus Master Protocol Library should not need this information and should not modify the default operation of the Modbus Master Protocol Library.
Retries
The Modbus Master instructions will automatically resend the request to the slave device if one of the following errors is detected:
-
There is no response within the response timeout time (parameter Timeout on the MBUS_CTRL) instruction (Error code 3). The time between characters of the response exceeded the allowed value (Error code 3). There is a parity error in the response from the slave (Error code 1). There is a CRC error in the response from the slave (Error code 8). The returned function did not match the request (Error code 7).
The Modbus Master will resend the request two additional times before setting the Done and Error output parameters. The number of retries can be changed by finding the symbol mModbusRetries in the Modbus Master symbol table and changing this value after MBUS_CTRL has been executed. The mModbusRetries value is a BYTE with a range of 0 to 255 retries.
Inter-character timeout
The Modbus Master will abort a response from a slave device if the time between characters in the response exceeds a specified time limit. The default time is set to 100 milliseconds which should allow the Modbus Master Protocol to work with most slave devices over wire or telephone modems. If this error is detected, the MBUS CTRL Error parameter will be set to error code 3. There may be cases where a longer time between characters is required, either because of the transmission medium (i.e. telephone modem) or because the slave device itself requires more time. This timeout can be lengthened by finding the symbol mModbusCharTimeout in the Modbus Master symbol table and changing this value after MBUS_CTRL has been executed. The mModbusCharTimeout value is an INT with a range of 1 to 30000 milliseconds.
Single vs. Multiple Bit/Word Write Functions

Some Modbus slave devices do not support the Modbus functions to write a single discrete output bit (Modbus function 5) or to write a single holding register (Modbus function 6). These devices only support the multiple bit write (Modbus function 15) or multiple register write (Modbus function 16) instead. The MBUS_MSG instruction will return an error code 101 if the slave device does not support the single bit/word Modbus functions. The Modbus Master Protocol allows you to force the MBUS_MSG instruction to use the multiple bit/word Modbus functions instead of the single bit/word Modbus functions. You can force the multiple bit/word instructions by finding the symbol mModbusForceMulti in the Modbus Master symbol table and changing this value after MBUS_CTRL has been executed. The mModbusForceMulti value is a data type BOOL value and should be set to a 1 to force the use of the multiple bit/word functions when a single bit/register is written.

Chapter 12
Accumulator Usage
The accumulators (AC0, AC1, AC2, AC3) are utilized by the Modbus Master instructions and appear in the Cross Reference listing. The values in the accumulators are saved and restored by the Modbus Master instructions. All user data in the accumulators is preserved while executing the Modbus Master instructions.
Holding Registers Addresses Greater Than 9999

Modbus holding addresses are generally within the range of 40001 through 49999. This range is adequate for most applications but there are some Modbus slave devices with data mapped into holding registers with addresses greater than 9999. These devices do not fit the normal Modbus addressing scheme. The Modbus Master instructions support addressing holding registers greater than 9999 via an alternate addressing method. The MBUS_MSG instruction allows an additional range for the parameter Addr to support an extended range of holding register addresses. 400001 to 465536 for holding registers For example: to access holding register 16768, the Addr parameter of MBUS_MSG should be set to 416768. The extended addressing allows access to the full range of 65536 possible addresses supported by the Modbus protocol. This extended addressing is only supported for holding registers.

Overview
Support for recipes has been incorporated into STEP 7--Micro/WIN and the S7-200 PLC. STEP 7--Micro/Win provides the Recipe Wizard to help you organize recipes and recipe definitions.
Recipe
All recipes are stored in the memory cartridge. Therefore, to use the recipe feature, an optional 64kB or 256kB memory cartridge must be installed in the PLC. See Appendix A for more information about the memory cartridges. All recipes are stored in the memory cartridge. However, a single recipe is read into PLC memory when the user program is processing this individual recipe. For example, if you are making cookies, there may be recipes for chocolate chip, sugar, and oatmeal cookies. Only one type of cookie can be made at a time, so the proper recipe must be selected and read into PLC memory. Figure 13-1 illustrates a process for making multiple types of cookies using recipes. The recipe for each type of cookie is stored in the memory cartridge. Using a TD 200C text display, the operator selects the type of cookie to be made, and the user program loads that recipe into memory.

Recipe Definition and Terminology

To help you understand the Recipe Wizard, the following definitions and terms are explained.
-
A recipe configuration is the set of project components generated by the Recipe Wizard. These components include instruction subroutines, data block tabs, and symbol tables. A recipe definition is a collection of recipes that have the same set of parameters. However, the values for the parameters can vary depending upon the recipe. A recipe is the set of parameters and parameter values that provides the information needed to produce a product or control a process.
For example, different recipe definitions can be created, such as donuts and cookies. The cookie recipe definition may contain many different recipes, such as chocolate chip and sugar cookies. Example fields and values are shown in Table 13-1.
Table 13-1 Field Name Butter White_Sugar Brown_Sugar Eggs Vanilla Flour Baking_Soda Baking_Powder Salt Chocolate_Chips Lemon_Peel Cook_Time Example of Recipe Definition - Cookies Data Type Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Byte Real Real Real Real Real Real Chocolate_Chip (Recipe 0) 8 6 6 2 1 18 1.0 0 1.0 16 0.0 9.0 Sugar (Recipe 1) 8 12 0 1 1 32 0.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 1.0 10.0 Comment Ounces Ounces Ounces each Teaspoon Ounces Teaspoon Teaspoon Teaspoon Ounces Tablespoon Minutes
Using the Recipe Wizard

Use the Recipe Wizard to create recipes and recipe definitions. Recipes are stored in the memory cartridge. Recipes and recipe definitions can be entered directly in the Recipe Wizard. Later changes to individual recipes can be made by running the Recipe Wizard again or by programming with the RCPx_WRITE instruction subroutine. The Recipe Wizard creates a recipe configuration that includes the following:
-
A symbol table for each recipe definition. Each table includes symbol names that are the same as the recipe field names. These symbols define the V memory addresses needed to access the recipe values currently loaded in memory. Each table also includes a symbolic constant to reference each recipe. A data block tab for each recipe definition. This tab defines the initial values for each V memory address represented within the symbol table. A RCPx_READ instruction subroutine. This instruction is used to read the specified recipe from the memory cartridge to V memory. A RCPx_WRITE instruction subroutine. This instruction is used to write recipe values from V memory to the memory cartridge.
367
Defining Recipes
To create a recipe using the Recipe Wizard, select the Tools > Recipe Wizard menu command. The first screen is an introductory screen defining the basic operations of the recipe wizard. Click on the Next button to begin configuring your recipes. To create a recipe definition, follow the steps below. See Figure 13-2. 1. Specify the field names for the recipe definition. Each name will become a symbol in your project as previously defined. Select a data type from the drop down list. Enter a default value and comment for each name. All new recipes specified within this definition will begin with these default values. Click Next to create and edit recipes for this recipe definition
Figure 13-2 Defining Recipes

Use as many rows as necessary to define all data fields in the recipe. You can have up to four different recipe definitions. The number of recipes for each definition is limited only by the available space within the memory cartridge.
Creating and Editing Recipes

The Create and Edit Recipes screen allows you to create individual recipes and specify values for these recipes. Each editable column represents a unique recipe. Recipes can be created by pressing the New button. Each recipe is initialized with the default values specified during the creation of the recipe definition. Recipes can also be created from the right mouse context menu by copying and pasting existing recipes. New columns will be inserted to the left of the current cursor position including the comment field. Each new recipe will be given a default name that includes a reference to the recipe definition and recipe number. This name will be in the form of DEFx_RCPy. To create and edit recipes, follow the steps below. See Figure 13-3. 1. Click on the Next button to get to the Create and Edit Recipe window. Select the New button to insert a new recipe as needed. Rename the recipe name to an appropriate non-default name. Change the values in each recipe data set as needed. Click OK.

Instructions Created by the Recipe Wizard

RCPx_Read Subroutine
The Subroutine RCPx_READ is created by the Recipe Wizard and is used to read an individual recipe from the memory cartridge to the specified area in V memory. The x in the RCPx_READ instruction corresponds to the recipe definition that contains the recipe that you wish to read. The EN input enables the execution of the instruction when this input is high. The Rcp input identifies the recipe that will be loaded from the memory cartridge The Error output returns the result of the execution of this instruction. See Table 13-3 for definitions of the error codes.
RCPx_Write Subroutine
The Subroutine RCPx_WRITE is created by the Recipe Wizard and is used to replace a recipe in the memory cartridge with the contents of the recipe contained in V memory. The x in the RCPx_WRITE instruction corresponds to the recipe definition that contains the recipe that you wish to replace. The EN input enables the execution of the instruction when this input is high. The Rcp input identifies the recipe that will be replaced in the memory cartridge. The Error output returns the result of the execution of this instruction. See Table 13-3 for definitions of the error codes.

Tip The EEPROM used in the memory cartridge will support a limited number of write operations. Typically, this is one million write cycles. Once this limit has been reached, the EEPROM will not operate properly. Make sure that you do not enable the RCPx_WRITE instruction on every scan. Enabling this instruction on every scan will wear out the memory cartridge in a relatively short period of time.

Overview
Support for data logs have been incorporated into STEP 7--Micro/WIN and the S7-200 PLC. With this feature, you can permanently store records containing process data under program control. These records can optionally contain a time and date stamp. You can configure up to four independent data logs. The data log record format is defined using the new Data Log Wizard All data logs are stored in the memory cartridge. To use the data log feature, you must have installed an optional 64K or 256K memory cartridge in your PLC. See Appendix A for information about the memory cartridges. You must use the S7-200 Explorer to upload the contents of your data logs to your computer. An example of a Data Log application is shown in Figure 14-1.

Data Log Definition and Terminology

To help you understand the Data Log Wizard, the following definitions and terms are explained.
-
A data log is a set of records usually ordered by date and time. Each record represents some process event that records a set of process data. The organization of this data is defined with the data log wizard. A data log record is a single row of data written to the data log.
374
Using Data Logs
Chapter 14
Using the Data Log Wizard

Use the Data Log Wizard to configure up to four data logs. The Data Log Wizard is used to:
Data Log
Define the format of the data log record Select data log options such as time stamp, date stamp, and clear data log on upload Specify the maximum number of records that can be stored in the data log Create project code used to store records in the data log.
The Data Log Wizard creates a data log configuration that includes the following:
-
A symbol table for each data log configuration. Each table includes symbol names that are the same as the data log field names. Each symbol defines the V memory addresses needed to store the current data log. Each table also includes a symbolic constant to reference each data log. A data block tab for each data log record that assigns V memory addresses for each data log field. Your program uses these V memory addresses to accumulate the current log data set. A DATx_WRITE subroutine. This instruction copies the specified data log record from V memory to the memory cartridge. Each execution of DATx_WRITE adds a new data record to the log data stored in the memory cartridge.
Data Log Options

You can configure the following optional behaviors for the data log. See Figure 14-2.
Time Stamp
You can include a Time Stamp with each data log record. When selected, the CPU automatically includes a time stamp with each record when the user program commands a data log write.
Date Stamp
You can add a Date Stamp to each data log record. When selected, the CPU automatically includes a date stamp with each record when the user program commands a data log write.
Clear Data Log

Clear Data Log -- You can clear all records from the data log whenever it is uploaded. If you set the Clear Data Log option, the data log will be cleared each time it is uploaded.
Figure 14-2 Data Log Options
Data logs are implemented as a circular queue (when the log is full, a new record replaces the oldest record). You must specify the maximum number of records to store in the data log. The maximum number of records allowed in a data log is 65,535. The default value for the number of records is 1000.
375
Defining the Data Log

You specify the fields for the data log and each field becomes a symbol in your project. You must specify a data type for each field. A data log record can contain between 4 and 203 bytes of data. To define the data fields in the data log, follow the steps below. See Figure 14-3. 1. Click on the Field Name cell to enter the name. The name becomes the symbol referenced by the user program. Click on the Data Type cell and select a data type from the drop down list. To enter a comment, click on the Comment cell. Use as many rows as necessary to define a record. Click OK .

Allocating Memory
The Data Log Wizard creates a block in the V memory area of the PLC. This block is the memory address where a data log record will be constructed before it is written to the memory cartridge. You specify a starting V memory address where you want the configuration to be placed. You can either select the V memory address or let the Data Log wizard suggest the address of an unused V memory block of the correct size. The size of the block varies based on the specific choices you have made in the Data Log wizard. See Figure 14-5. To allocate memory, follow the steps below: 1. To select the V memory address where the data log record will be constructed, click in the Suggested Address area and enter the address. To let the Data Log Wizard select an unused V memory block of the correct size, click the Suggest Address button. Click the Next button.

Project Components
The project components screen lists the different components that will be added to your project. See Figure 14-6. Click Finish to complete the Data Log Wizard and add these components. Each data log configuration can be given a unique name. This name will be shown in the project tree with each wizard configuration. The data log definition (DATx) will be appended to the end of this name.
Figure 14-6 Project Components
Using the Symbol Table

A symbol table is created for each data log configuration. Each table defines constant values that represent each data log. These symbols can be used as parameters for the DATx_WRITE instructions. Each table also creates symbol names for each field of the data log. You can use these symbols to access the values of the data log in V memory.
377
Downloading a Project that contains a Data Log Configuration

You must download a project that contains a data log configuration to an S7-200 CPU before the data log can be used. If a project has a data log configuration, then the download window has the Data Log Configurations option checked by default. Tip When you download a project that contains data log configurations, any data log records currently stored on the memory cartridge will be lost. To download a project that contains data log configurations, follow the steps below. See Figure 14-8. 1. 2. Select File > Download. In the dialog, under Options, ensure that the Data Log Configuration box is checked. Click the Download button.

Using the S7-200 Explorer
Figure 14-8 Downloading a Project with a Data Log Configuration
The S7-200 Explorer is the application used to read a data log from the memory cartridge, and then store the data log in a Comma separated Values (CSV) file. Each time a data log is read, a new file is created. This file is saved in the Data Log directory. The file name is formatted as follows: PLC Address, data log name, date, and time. You can choose whether the application associated with the CSV extension is automatically launched when the data log has successfully been read. This selection is available from the right mouse menu of the data log file. The Data Log directory will be below the directory specified during installation. The default installation directory is c:\program files\siemens\Microsystems (if STEP 7 is not installed). The default installation is c:\siemens\Microsystems (if STEP 7 is installed). To read a data log, follow the steps below: 1. Open Windows Explorer. The My S7-200 Network folder should automatically become visible. Select the My S7-200 Network folder. Select the correct S7-200 PLC folder. Select the memory cartridge folder Find the correct data log configuration file. These files will be named DAT Configuration x (DATx). Select the right mouse context menu, and then select Upload.

Instruction Created by the Data Log Wizard

The Data Log Wizard adds one instruction subroutine to your project.
DATx_WRITE Subroutine
The Subroutine DATx_WRITE is used to log the current values of the data log fields to the memory cartridge. DATxWRITE adds one record to the logged data in the memory cartridge. A call to this subroutine appears as follows. Error 132 is returned when this instruction fails to correctly access the memory cartridge.

PID Auto-Tune and the PID Tuning Control Panel

PID Auto-Tune capability has been incorporated into the S7-200 PLCs and STEP 7--Micro/WIN has added a PID Tuning Control Panel. Together, these two features greatly enhance the utility and ease of use of the PID function provided in the S7-200 Micro PLC line. Auto-tune can be initiated by the user program from an operator panel or by the PID Tuning Control Panel. PID loops can be auto-tuned one at a time or all eight loops can be auto-tuned at the same time if necessary. The PID Auto-Tune computes suggested (near optimum) values for the gain, integral time (reset) and derivative time (rate) tuning values. It also allows you to select tuning for fast, medium, slow or very slow response of your loop. With the PID Tuning Control Panel you can initiate the auto-tuning process, abort the auto-tuning process and monitor the results in a graphical form. The control panel displays any error conditions or warnings that might be generated. It also allows you to apply the gain, reset and rate values computed by auto-tune.

Understanding the PID Auto-Tune

Introduction
The auto-tuning algorithm used in the S7-200 is based upon a technique called relay feedback suggested by K. J. strm and T. Hgglund in 1984. Over the past twenty years relay feedback has been used across a wide variety of industries. The concept of relay feedback is to produce a small, but sustained oscillation in an otherwise stable process. Based upon the period of the oscillations and the amplitude changes observed in the process variable, the ultimate frequency and the ultimate gain of the process are determined. Then, using the ultimate gain and ultimate frequency values, the PID Auto-tuner suggests a value for the gain, reset and rate tuning values. The values suggested depend upon your selection for speed of response of the loop for your process. You can select fast, medium, slow or very slow response. Depending upon your process a fast response may have overshoot and would correspond to an underdamped tuning condition. A medium speed response may be on the verge of having overshoot and would correspond to a critically damped tuning condition. A slow response may not have any overshoot and would correspond to an overdamped tuning condition. A very slow response may not have overshoot and would correspond to a heavily overdamped tuning condition. In addition to suggesting tuning values the PID Auto-tuner can automatically determine the values for hysteresis and peak PV deviation. These parameters are used to reduce the effect of the process noise while limiting the amplitude of the sustained oscillations set up by the PID Auto-Tuner. The PID Auto-Tuner is capable of determining suggested tuning values for both direct-acting and reverse-acting P, PI, PD, and PID loops. The purpose of the PID Auto-Tuner is to determine a set of tuning parameters that provide a reasonable approximation to the optimum values for your loop. Starting with the suggested tuning values will allow you to make fine tuning adjustments and truly optimize your process.
Expanded Loop Table

The PID instruction for the S7-200 references a loop table that contains the loop parameters. This table was originally 36 bytes long. With the addition of PID Auto-Tuning the loop table has been expanded and is now 80 bytes long. The expanded loop table is shown in Table 15-1 and Table 15-2. If you use the PID Tuning Control Panel, all interaction with the PID loop table is handled for you by the control panel. If you need to provide auto-tuning capability from an operator panel, your program must provide the interaction between the operator and the PID loop table to initiate, and monitor the auto-tuning process, and then apply the suggested tuning values.

Prerequisites
The loop that you want to auto-tune must be in automatic mode. The loop output must be controlled by the execution of the PID instruction. Auto-tune will fail if the loop is in manual mode. Before initiating an auto-tune operation your process must be brought to a stable state which means that the PV has reached setpoint (or for a P type loop, a constant difference between PV and setpoint) and the output is not changing erratically. Ideally, the loop output value needs to be near the center of the control range when auto-tuning is started. The auto-tune procedure sets up an oscillation in the process by making small step changes in the loop output. If the loop output is close to either extreme of its control range, the step changes introduced in the auto-tune procedure may cause the output value to attempt to exceed the minimum or the maximum range limit. If this were to happen, it may result in the generation of an auto-tune error condition, and it will certainly result in the determination of less than near optimal suggested values.
Auto-Hysteresis and Auto-Deviation

The hysteresis parameter specifies the excursion (plus or minus) from setpoint that the PV (process variable) is allowed to make without causing the relay controller to change the output. This value is used to minimize the effect of noise in the PV signal to more accurately determine the natural oscillation frequency of the process. If you select to automatically determine the hysteresis value, the PID Auto-Tuner will enter a hysteresis determination sequence. This sequence involves sampling the process variable for a period of time and then performing a standard deviation calculation on the sample results. In order to have a statistically meaningful sample, a set of at least 100 samples must be acquired. For a loop with a sample time of 200 msec, acquiring 100 samples takes 20 seconds. For loops with a longer sample time it will take longer. Even though 100 samples can be acquired in less than 20 seconds for loops with sample times less than 200 msec, the hysteresis determination sequence always acquires samples for at least 20 seconds. Once all the samples have been acquired, the standard deviation for the sample set is calculated. The hysteresis value is defined to be two times the standard deviation. The calculated hysteresis value is written into the actual hysteresis field (AHYS) of the loop table. Tip While the auto-hysteresis sequence is in progress, the normal PID calculation is not performed. Therefore, it is imperative that the process be in a stable state prior to initiating an auto-tune sequence. This will yield a better result for the hysteresis value and it will ensure that the process does not go out of control during the auto-hysteresis determination sequence. The deviation parameter specifies the desired peak-to-peak swing of the PV around the setpoint. If you select to automatically determine this value, the desired deviation of the PV is computed by multiplying the hysteresis value by 4.5. The output will be driven proportionally to induce this magnitude of oscillation in the process during auto-tuning.
385
Auto-Tune Sequence
The auto-tuning sequence begins after the hysteresis and deviation values have been determined. The tuning process begins when the initial output step is applied to the loop output. This change in output value should cause a corresponding change in the value of the process variable. When the output change drives the PV away from setpoint far enough to exceed the hysteresis boundary a zero-crossing event is detected by the auto-tuner. Upon each zero crossing event the auto-tuner drives the output in the opposite direction. The tuner continues to sample the PV and waits for the next zero crossing event. A total of twelve zero-crossings are required to complete the sequence. The magnitude of the observed peak-to-peak PV values (peak error) and the rate at which zero-crossings occur are directly related to the dynamics of the process. Early in the auto-tuning process, the output step value is proportionally adjusted once to induce subsequent peak-to-peak swings of the PV to more closely match the desired deviation amount. Once the adjustment is made, the new output step amount is written into the Actual Step Size field (ASTEP) of the loop table. The auto-tuning sequence will be terminated with an error, if the time between zero crossings exceeds the zero crossing watchdog interval time. The default value for the zero crossing watchdog interval time is two hours. Figure 15-1 shows the output and process variable behaviors during an auto-tuning sequence on a direct acting loop. The PID Tuning Control Panel was used to initiate and monitor the tuning sequence. Notice how the auto-tuner switches the output to cause the process (as evidenced by the PV value) to undergo small oscillations. The frequency and the amplitude of the PV oscillations are indicative of the process gain and natural frequency.
Figure 15-1 Auto-Tuning Sequence on a Direct Acting Loop
Based upon the information collected about the frequency and gain of the process during the auto-tune process, the ultimate gain and ultimate frequency values are calculated. From these values the suggested values for gain (loop gain), reset (integral time) and rate (derivative time) are calculated. Tip Your loop type determines which tuning values are calculated by the auto-tuner. For example, for a PI loop, the auto-tuner will calculate gain and integral time values, but the suggested derivative time will be 0.0 (no derivative action). Once the auto-tune sequence has completed, the output of the loop is returned to its initial value. The next time the loop is executed, the normal PID calculation will be performed.
386
Chapter 15
Exception Conditions
Three warning conditions can be generated during tuning execution. These warnings are reported in three bits of the ASTAT field of the loop table and, once set, these bits remain set until the next auto-tune sequence is initiated.
-
Warning 0 is generated if the deviation value is not at least 4X greater than the hysteresis value. This check is performed when the hysteresis value is actually known, which depends upon the auto-hysteresis setting. Warning 1 is generated if there is more than an 8X difference between the two peak error values gathered during the first 2.5 cycles of the auto-tune procedure. Warning 2 is generated if the measured average peak error is not at least 4X greater than the hysteresis value.
In addition to the warning conditions several error conditions are possible. Table 15-3 lists the error conditions along with a description of the cause of each error.
Table 15-3 Error Conditions during Tuning Execution Result Code (in ARES) 01 aborted by user 02 aborted due to a zero-crossing watchdog timeout 03 aborted due to the process out-of-range Condition EN bit cleared while tuning is in progress Half-cycle elapsed time exceeds zero-crossing watchdog interval PV goes out-of-range: S during the auto-hysteresis sequence, or S twice before the fourth zero-crossing, or S after the fourth zero crossing 04 aborted due to hysteresis value exceeding maximum 05 aborted due to illegal configuration value User-specified hysteresis value, or automatically determined hysteresis value > maximum The following range checking errors: S Initial loop output value is < 0.0 or > 1.0 S User-specified deviation value is <= hysteresis value , or is > maximum S Initial output step is <= 0.0 or is > maximum S Zero-crossing watchdog interval time is < minimum S Sample time value in loop table is negative 06 aborted due to a numeric error 07 PID instruction was executed with no power flow (manual mode) 08 auto-tuning allowed only for P, PI, PD, or PID loops Illegal floating point number or divide by zero encountered PID instruction executed with no power flow while auto-tuning is in progress or is requested Loop type is not P, PI, PD, or PID
Notes Concerning PV Out-of-Range (Result Code 3)

The process variable is considered to be in-range by the auto-tuner if its value is greater than 0.0 and less than 1.0. If the PV is detected to be out-of-range during the auto-hysteresis sequence, then the tuning is immediately aborted with a process out-of-range error result. If the PV is detected to be out-of-range between the starting point of the tuning sequence and the fourth zero-crossing, then the output step value is cut in half and the tuning sequence is restarted from the beginning. If a second PV out-of-range event is detected after the first zero-crossing following the restart, then the tuning is aborted with a process out-of-range error result. Any PV out-of-range event occurring after the fourth zero-crossing results in an immediate abort of the tuning and a generation of a process out-of-range error result.

PID Tuning Control Panel

STEP 7--Micro/WIN includes a PID Tuning Control Panel that allows you to graphically monitor the behavior of your PID loops. In addition, the control panel allows you to initiate the auto-tune sequence, abort the sequence, and apply the suggested tuning values or your own tuning values. To use the control panel, you must be communicating with an S7-200 PLC and a wizard-generated configuration for a PID loop must exist in the PLC. The PLC must be in RUN mode for the control panel to display the operation of a PID loop. Figure 15-2 shows the default l Fi 15 2 h th d f lt screen for the control panel.
Figure 15-2 PID Tuning Control Panel
The control panel displays the station address (Remote Address) of the target PLC at the top left-hand side of the screen. At the top right-hand side of the screen, the PLC type and version number are displayed. Underneath the Remote Address field is a bar chart representation of the process variable value along with both its scaled and unscaled values. Just to the right of the PV bar chart is a Current Values region. In the Current Values region, the values of the Setpoint, Sample Time, Gain, Integral time, and Derivative time are displayed. The value of the Output is displayed in a horizontal bar chart along with its numerical value. To the right of the Current Values region is a graphical display. The graphical display shows color coded plots of the PV, SP, and Output as a function of time. The PV and SP share the same vertical scale which is located at the left hand side of the graph while the vertical scale for the output is located on the right hand side of the graph. At the bottom left hand side of the screen is the Tuning Parameters (Minutes) region. Inside this region, the Gain, Integral Time and Derivative Time values are displayed. Radio buttons indicate whether the Current, Suggested or Manual values for Gain, Integral Time and Derivative Time are being displayed. You may click on the radio button to display any one of the three sources for these values. To modify the tuning parameters, click the manual radio button. You can use the Update PLC button to transfer the displayed Gain, Integral Time and Derivative Time values to the PLC for the PID loop that is being monitored. You can use the Start Auto Tune button to initiate an auto-tuning sequence. Once an auto-tuning sequence has started, the Start Auto Tune button becomes a Stop Auto Tune button. Directly underneath the graphical display is a Current PID selection region with a pull down menu that allows you to select the PID loop that you wish to monitor with the control panel. In the Sampling Rate region you can select the graphical display sampling rate from 1 to 480 seconds per sample. You can edit the sampling rate, then use the Set Time button to apply the change. The time scale of the graph is automatically adjusted to best display the data at the new rate. You can freeze the graph by pressing the Pause button. Press the Resume button to resume sampling data at the selected rate. To clear the graph, select Clear from the right-mouse button within the graph.

Chapter 15
To the right of the Chart Options region is a Legend that identifies the colors used to plot the PV, SP, and Output values. Directly beneath the Current PID selection region is an area that is used to display information pertinent to the operation being performed. The Advanced ... button in the Tuning Parameters region allows you to further configure parameters for the auto-tuning process. The advanced screen is shown below in Figure 15-3. From the advanced screen you can check the box that will cause the auto-tuner to automatically determine the values for the Hysteresis and Deviation (default setting) or you can enter the values for these fields that minimize the disturbance to your process during the auto-tune procedure. In the Other Options region you can specify the initial output step size and enter the zero crossing watchdog timeout period.
Figure 15-3 Advanced Parameters
In the Dynamic Response Options region click the radio button that corresponds to the type of loop response that you wish to have for your process. Depending upon your process a fast response may have overshoot and would correspond to an underdamped tuning condition. A medium speed response may be on the verge of having overshoot and would correspond to a critically damped tuning condition. A slow response may not have any overshoot and would correspond to an overdamped tuning condition. A very slow response may not have overshoot and would correspond to a heavily overdamped tuning condition. Once you have made the desired selections, click OK to return to the main screen of the PID Tuning Control Panel. Once you have completed the auto-tune sequence and have transferred the suggested tuning parameters to the PLC, you can use the control panel to monitor your loops response to a step change in the setpoint. Figure 15-4 shows the loops response to a setpoint change (12000 to 14000) with the original tuning parameters (before running auto-tune). Notice the overshoot and the long, damped ringing behavior of the process using the original tuning parameters.
Figure 15-4 Response to a Setpoint Change
389
Figure 15-5 shows the loops response to the same setpoint change (12000 to 14000) after applying the values determined by the auto-tune process using the selection for a fast response. Notice that for this process there is no overshoot, but there is just a little bit of ringing. If you wish to eliminate the ringing at the expense of the speed of response, you need to select a medium or a slow response and re-run the auto-tuning process. Once you have a good starting point for the tuning parameters for your loop, you can use the control panel to tweak the parameters. Then you can monitor the loops response to a setpoint change. In change this way you can fine tune your process for an optimum response in your application.

Depending on your pulse receiver and cable, an additional external load resistor (at least 10% of rated current) may improve pulse signal quality and noise immunity. Relay lifetime with a lamp load will be reduced by 75% unless steps are taken to reduce the turn-on surge below the surge current rating of the output. Lamp load wattage rating is for rated voltage. Reduce the wattage rating proportionally for voltage being switched (for example 120 VAC - 100 W). -
Warning
When a mechanical contact turns on output power to the S7-200 CPU, or any digital expansion module, it sends a 1 signal to the digital outputs for approximately 50 microseconds. This could cause unexpected machine or process operation which could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. You must plan for this, especially if you are using devices which respond to short duration pulses.

Load current must be full wave AC and must not be half-wave because of the zero-cross circuitry. Minimum load current is 0.05 A AC. With a load current between 5 mA and 50 mA AC, the current can be controlled, but there is an additional voltage drop due to series resistance of 410 Ohms. If the output overheats due to excessive inductive switching or abnormal conditions, the output point may turn off or be damaged. The output could overheat or be damaged if the output is subjected to more than 0.7 J of energy switching an inductive load off. To eliminate the need for this limitation, a suppression circuit as described in Chapter 3 can be added in parallel with the load. These components need to be sized properly for the given application. The EM 222 DO 4 x Relay has a different FM rating than the rest of the S7-200. This module has a T4 rating, instead of T4A for FM Class I, Division Groups A, B, C, and D Hazardous Locations. Relay lifetime with a lamp load will be reduced by 75% unless steps are taken to reduce the turn-on surge below the surge current rating of the output. Lamp load wattage rating is for rated voltage. Reduce the wattage rating proportionally for voltage being switched (for example 120 VAC - 100 W). -
Warning
When a mechanical contact turns on output power to the S7-200 CPU, or any digital expansion module, it sends a 1 signal to the digital outputs for approximately 50 microseconds. This could cause unexpected machine or process operation which could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. You must plan for this, especially if you are using devices which respond to short duration pulses.

Input Calibration
The calibration adjustments affect the instrumentation amplifier stage that follows the analog multiplexer (see the Input Block Diagram for the EM 231 in Figure A-17 and EM 235 in Figure A-19). Therefore, calibration affects all user input channels. Even after calibration, variations in the component values of each input circuit preceding the analog multiplexer will cause slight differences in the readings between channels connected to the same input signal. To meet the specifications, you should enable analog input filters for all inputs of the module. Select 64 or more samples to calculate the average value. To calibrate the input, use the following steps. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Turn off the power to the module. Select the desired input range. Turn on the power to the CPU and module. Allow the module to stabilize for 15 minutes. Using a transmitter, a voltage source, or a current source, apply a zero value signal to one of the input terminals. Read the value reported to the CPU by the appropriate input channel. Adjust the OFFSET potentiometer until the reading is zero, or the desired digital data value. Connect a full-scale value signal to one of the input terminals. Read the value reported to the CPU. Adjust the GAIN potentiometer until the reading is 32000, or the desired digital data value. Repeat OFFSET and GAIN calibration as required.

Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines to ensure accuracy and repeatability:
-
Ensure that the 24-VDC Sensor Supply is free of noise and is stable. Use the shortest possible sensor wires. Use shielded twisted pair wiring for sensor wires. Use a braided shield for best noise immunity. Terminate the shield at the Sensor location only. Short the inputs for any unused channels, as shown in Figure A-21. Avoid bending the wires into sharp angles. Use wireways for wire routing. Avoid placing signal wires parallel to high-energy wires. If the two wires must meet, cross them at right angles. Ensure that the input signals are within the common mode voltage specification by isolating the input signals or referencing them to the external 24V common of the analog module.
Tip The EM 231 and EM 235 expansion modules are not recommended for use with thermocouples.
Understanding the Analog Input Module: Accuracy and Repeatability

The EM 231 and EM 235 analog input modules are low-cost, high-speed 12 bit analog input modules. The modules can convert an analog signal input to its corresponding digital value in 149 sec. The analog signal input is converted each time your program accesses the analog point. These conversion times must be added to the basic execution time of the instruction used to access the analog input. The EM 231 and EM 235 provide an unprocessed digital value (no linearization or filtering) that corresponds to the analog voltage or current presented at the modules input terminals. Since the modules are high-speed modules, they can follow rapid changes in the analog input signal (including internal and external noise).
Average Value Signal Input Mean (average) Accuracy
You can minimize reading-to-reading variations caused by noise for a constant or slowly changing analog input Repeatability limits signal by averaging a number of readings. Note that (99% of all readings fall within these limits) increasing the number of readings used in computing the average value results in a correspondingly slower Figure A-22 Accuracy Definitions response time to changes in the input signal. Figure A-22 shows the 99% repeatability limits, the mean or average value of the individual readings, and the mean accuracy in a graphical form. The specifications for repeatability describe the reading-to-reading variations of the module for an input signal that is not changing. The repeatability specification defines the limits within which 99% of the readings will fall. The repeatability is described in this figure by the bell curve. The mean accuracy specification describes the average value of the error (the difference between the average value of individual readings and the exact value of the actual analog input signal). Table A-23 gives the repeatability specifications and the mean accuracy as they relate to each of the configurable ranges.

Measurements made after the selected input range has been calibrated. The offset error in the signal near zero analog input is not corrected, and is not included in the accuracy specifications. There is a channel-to-channel carryover conversion error, due to the finite settling time of the analog multiplexer. The maximum carryover error is 0.1% of the difference between channels. Mean accuracy includes effects of non-linearity and drift from 0 to 55 degrees C. Analog input accuracy may deviate up to +/-10% of full scale when subjected to severe RF interferences such as specified in the product standard EN 61131-2:2007. Following the recommended installation guidelines on the previous page can minimize unintended disturbances on analog inputs. For high frequency immunity it is recommended that the cable shield be terminated at both ends.

Connector Terminal Identification for EM 231 Thermocouple and EM 231 RTD Modules
Compatibility
The RTD and Thermocouple modules are designed to work with the CPU 222, CPU 224, CPU 224XP and CPU 226.
425
Tip The RTD and Thermocouple modules are designed to give maximum performance when installed in a stable temperature environment. The EM 231 Thermocouple module, for example, has special cold junction compensation circuitry that measures the temperature at the module connectors and makes necessary changes to the measurement to compensate for temperature differences between the reference temperature and the temperature at the module. If the ambient temperature is changing rapidly in the area where the EM 231 Thermocouple module is installed, additional errors are introduced. To achieve maximum accuracy and repeatability, Siemens recommends that the S7-200 RTD and Thermocouple modules be mounted in locations that have stable ambient temperature.
Noise Immunity
Use shielded wires for best noise immunity. If a thermocouple input channel is not used, short the unused channel inputs, or connect them in parallel to another channel.
EM 231 Thermocouple Module

The EM 231 Thermocouple module provides a convenient, isolated interface for the S7-200 family to seven thermocouple types: J, K, E, N, S, T, and R. It allows the S7-200 to connect to low level analog signals, 80mV range. All thermocouples attached to the module must be of the same type.
Thermocouple Basics
Thermocouples are formed whenever two dissimilar metals are electrically bonded to each other. A voltage is generated that is proportional to the junction temperature. This voltage is small; one microvolt could represent many degrees. Measuring the voltage from a thermocouple, compensating for extra junctions, and then linearizing the result forms the basis of temperature measurement using thermocouples. When you connect a thermocouple to the EM 231 Thermocouple Module, the two dissimilar metal wires are attached to the module at the module signal connector. The place where the two dissimilar wires are attached to each other forms the sensor thermocouple. Two more thermocouples are formed where the two dissimilar wires are attached to the signal connector. The connector temperature causes a voltage that adds to the voltage from the sensor thermocouple. If this voltage is not corrected, then the temperature reported will deviate from the sensor temperature. Cold junction compensation is used to compensate for the connector thermocouple. Thermocouple tables are based on a reference junction temperature, usually zero degrees Celsius. The cold junction compensation compensates the connector to zero degrees Celsius. The cold junction compensation restores the voltage added by the connector thermocouples. The temperature of the module is measured internally, then converted to a value to be added to the sensor conversion. The corrected sensor conversion is then linearized using the thermocouple tables.
Configuring the EM 231 Thermocouple Module
Configuration DIP switches located on the bottom of the module allow you to select the thermocouple type, open wire detect, temperature scale, and cold junction compensation. For the DIP switch settings to take effect, you need to power cycle the PLC and/or the user 24V power supply. DIP switch 4 is reserved for future use. Set DIP switch 4 to the 0 (down or off) position. Table A-27 shows other DIP switch settings.

Tip H The open wire current source could interfere with signals from some low level sources such as thermocouple simulators. H Input voltages exceeding approximately 200mV will trigger open wire detection even when the open wire current source is disabled.
Tip H Module error could exceed specifications while the ambient temperature is changing. H Exceeding the module ambient temperature range specification could cause the module cold junction to be in error.
Using the Thermocouple: Status Indicators

The EM 231 Thermocouple module provides the PLC with data words that indicate temperatures or error conditions. Status bits indicate range error and user supply/module failure. LEDs indicate the status of the module. Your program should have logic to detect error conditions and respond appropriately for the application. Table A-28 shows the EM 231 Thermocouple status indicators.

Range status bit is bit 3 in module error register byte (SMB9 for Module 1, SMB11 for Module 2, etc.) User Power Bad status bit is bit 2 in module error register byte (SMB 9, SMB 11, etc., refer to Appendix D) Diagnostic errors cause a module configuration error. The User Power Bad status bit may or may not be set before the module configuration error.
Tip The channel data format is twos complement, 16-bit words. Temperature is presented in 0.1 degree units. For example, if the measured temperature is 100.2 degrees, the reported data is 1002. Voltage data are scaled to 27648. For example, --60.0mV is reported as --20736 (=--60mV/80mV * 27648). If the PLC has read the data:
-
All 4 channels in the EM 231 Analog Input Thermocouple 4 Inputs are updated every 405 milliseconds. All channels in the EM 231 Analog Input Thermocouple 8 Inputs are updated every 810 milliseconds.
If the PLC does not read the data within one update time, the module reports old data until the next module update after the PLC read. To keep channel data current, it is recommended that the PLC program read data at least as often as the module update rate. Tip When you are using the EM 231 Thermocouple module, you should disable analog filtering in the PLC. Analog filtering can prevent error conditions from being detected in a timely manner.

EM 231 RTD Module

The EM 231 RTD module provides a convenient interface for the S7-200 family to several different RTDs. It also allows the S7-200 to measure three different resistance ranges. All RTDs attached to the module must be of the same type.
Configuring the EM 231 RTD Module

DIP switches enable you to select RTD type, wiring configuration, temperature scale, and burnout direction. The DIP switches are located on the bottom of the module as shown in Figure A-24. For the DIP switch settings to take effect, you need to power cycle the PLC and/or the user 24V power supply.
Configuration 1 -- On 0 -- Off
Select RTD type by setting DIP switches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 to correspond to the RTD as shown in Table A-31 and Table A-32. Refer to Table A-33 for other Figure A-24 DIP switch settings.

EM 231 RTD Status Indicators

The RTD module provides the PLC with data words that indicate temperatures or error conditions. Status bits indicate range error and user supply/module failure. LEDs indicate the status of the module. Your program should have logic to detect error conditions and respond appropriately for the application. Table A-34 shows the status indicators provided by the EM 231 RTD module. Tip The channel data format is twos complement, 16-bit words. Temperature is presented in 0.1 degree units. (For example, if the measured temperature is 100.2 degrees, the reported data is 1002.) Resistance data are scaled to 27648. For example, 75% of full scale resistance is reported as 20736. (225 / 300 * 27648 = 20736)

Range status bit is bit 3 in module error register byte (SMB9 for Module 1, SMB11 for Module 2, etc.) User Power Bad status bit is bit 2 in module error register byte (such as SMB 9, SMB 11, refer to Appendix D.) Diagnostic errors cause a module configuration error. The User Power Bad status bit may or may not be set before the module configuration error.
If the PLC has read the data:

-
All 4 channels in the EM 231 Analog Input RTD 2 Inputs are updated every 405 milliseconds. All channels in the EM 231 Analog Input RTD 4 Inputs are updated every 810 milliseconds.
If the PLC does not read the data within one update time, the module reports old data until the next module update after the PLC read. To keep channel data current, it is recommended that the PLC program read data at least as often as the module update rate. Tip When you are using the RTD module, be sure to disable analog filtering in the PLC. Analog filtering can prevent error conditions from being detected in a timely manner. Open wire detection is performed by software internal to the RTD module. Out of range inputs and detected open wire conditions are signaled by setting the range status bit in the SMB and by setting the channel data up or down scale per the switch settings. Open wire detection takes a minimum of three module scan cycles and can take longer, depending on which wire(s) are open. Open Source+ and/or Source-- wires are detected in the minimum time. Open Sense+ and/or Sense-- wires can take 5 seconds or more to detect. Open sense lines can randomly present valid data, with open wire detected intermittently, especially in electrically noisy environments. Electrical noise can also extend the time it takes to detect the open wire condition. It is recommended that open wire/out of range indications be latched in the application program after valid data has been reported. Tip If you have an unused channel, you can wire the that channel with a resistor in place of the RTD to prevent open wire detection from causing the SF LED to blink. The resistor must be the nominal value of the RTD. For example, use 100 ohms for PT100 RTD .

Distributed Peripheral (DP) Standard Communications

PROFIBUS--DP (or DP Standard) is a remote I/O communications protocol defined by the European Standard EN 50170. Devices that adhere to this standard are compatible even though they are manufactured by different companies. DP stands for distributed peripherals, that is, remote I/O. PROFIBUS stands for Process Field Bus. The EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module has implemented the DP Standard protocol as defined for slave devices in the following communications protocol standards:
-
EN 50 170 (PROFIBUS) describes the bus access and transfer protocol and specifies the properties of the data transfer medium. EN 50 170 (DP Standard) describes the high-speed cyclic exchange of data between DP masters and DP slaves. This standard defines the procedures for configuration and parameter assignment, explains how cyclic data exchange with distributed I/O functions, and lists the diagnostic options which are supported.
A DP master is configured to know the addresses, slave device types, and any parameter assignment information that the slaves require. The master is also told where to place data that is read from the slaves (inputs) and where to get the data to write to the slaves (outputs). The DP master establishes the network and then initializes its DP slave devices. The master writes the parameter assignment information and I/O configuration to the slave. The master then reads the diagnostics from the slave to verify that the DP slave accepted the parameters and the I/O configuration. The master then begins to exchange I/O data with the slave. Each transaction with the slave writes outputs and reads inputs. The data exchange mode continues indefinitely. The slave devices can notify the master if there is an exception condition and the master then reads the diagnostic information from the slave. Once a DP master has written the parameters and I/O configuration to a DP slave, and the slave has accepted the parameters and configuration from the master, the master owns that slave. The slave only accepts write requests from the master that owns it. Other masters on the network can read the slaves inputs and outputs, but they cannot write anything to the slave.
Using the EM 277 to Connect an S7-200 as a DP Slave

The S7-200 CPU can be connected to a PROFIBUS--DP network through the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP expansion slave module. The EM 277 is connected to the S7-200 CPU through the serial I/O bus. The PROFIBUS network is connected to the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module through its DP communications port. This port operates at any PROFIBUS baud rate between 9600 baud and 12 Mbaud. See the Specifications for EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP Module for the baud rates supported. As a DP slave device, the EM 277 module accepts several different I/O configurations from the master, allowing you to tailor the amount of data transferred to meet the requirements of the application. Unlike many DP devices, the EM 277 module does not transfer only I/O data. Inputs, counter values, timer values, or other calculated values can be transferred to the master by first moving the data to the variable memory in the S7-200 CPU. Likewise, data from the master is stored in variable memory in the S7-200 CPU and can be moved to other data areas.

Appendix A
The DP port of the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module can be attached to a DP master on the network and still communicate as an MPI slave with other master devices such as SIMATIC programming devices or S7-300/S7-400 CPUs on the same network. Figure A-27 shows a PROFIBUS network with a CPU 224 and an EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module.
-
The CPU 315--2 is the DP master and has been configured by a SIMATIC programming device with STEP 7 programming software. The CPU 224 is a DP slave owned by the CPU 315--2. The ET 200 I/O module is also a slave owned by the CPU 315--2. The S7-400 CPU is attached to the PROFIBUS network and is reading data from the CPU 224 by means of XGET instructions in the S7-400 CPU user program.

Configuration
To use the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP as a DP slave, you must set the station address of the DP port to match the address in the configuration of the master. The station address is set with the rotary switches on the EM 277 module. You must power cycle the CPU after you have made a switch change in order for the new slave address to take effect.

The master device exchanges data with VB5119 each of its slaves by sending information from its output area to the slaves output P: peripheral VB: variable memory byte PI: peripheral input buffer (called a Receive mailbox). The PQ: peripheral output slave responds to the message from the master by returning an input buffer y g p (called a Send mailbox) which the Figure A-28 V Memory and I/O Address Area master stores in an input area. Figure A-28 shows an example of the V memory and I/O address area of a PROFIBUS--DP Master.
I/O output area: 16 bytes
PQ256 PQ271
The EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP can be configured by the DP master to accept output data from the master and return input data to the master. The output and input data buffers reside in the variable memory (V memory) of the S7-200 CPU. When you configure the DP master, you define the byte location in V memory where the output data buffer should start as part of the parameter assignment information for the EM 277. You also define the I/O configuration as the amount of output data to be written to the S7-200 CPU and amount of input data to be returned from the S7-200 CPU. The EM 277 determines the size of the input and output buffers from the I/O configuration. The DP master writes the parameter assignment and I/O configuration information to the EM 277 PROFIBUS DP module. The EM 277 then transfers the V memory address and input and output data lengths to the S7-200 CPU. Figure A-28 shows a memory model of the V memory in a CPU 224 and the I/O address areas of a DP master CPU. In this example, the DP master has defined an I/O configuration of 16 output bytes and 16 input bytes, and a V memory offset of 5000. The output buffer and input buffer lengths in the CPU 224 (determined from the I/O configuration) are both 16 bytes long. The output data buffer starts at V5000; the input buffer immediately follows the output buffer and begins at V5016. The output data (from the master) is placed in V memory at V5000. The input data (to the master) is taken from the V memory at V5016. 441
Tip If you are working with a data unit (consistent data) of three bytes or data units greater than four bytes, you must use SFC14 to read the inputs of the DP slave and SFC15 to address the outputs of the DP slave. For more information, see the System Software for S7-300 and S7-400 System and Standard Functions Reference Manual. Table A-42 lists the configurations that are supported by the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module. The default configuration for the EM 277 module is two words of input and two words of output.

Configuration
You can configure the location of the input and output buffers to be anywhere in the V memory of the S7-200 CPU. The default address for the input and output buffers is VB0. The location of the input and output buffers is part of the parameter assignment information that the master writes to the S7-200 CPU. You configure the master to recognize its slaves and to write the required parameters and I/O configuration to each of its slaves. Use the following tools to configure the DP master:
-
For SIMATIC S5 masters, use COM PROFIBUS Windows software For SIMATIC S7 masters, use STEP 7 programming software For SIMATIC 505 masters, use COM PROFIBUS and either TISOFT2 or SoftShop
For detailed information about using these configuration and programming software packages, refer to the manuals for these devices. For detailed information about the PROFIBUS network and its components, refer to the ET 200 Distributed I/O System Manual.

Appendix A
Data Consistency
PROFIBUS supports three types of data consistency:
Master Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 Byte 6 Byte 7 Slave Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 Byte 6 Byte 7 Byte consistency
Byte consistency ensures that bytes are transferred as whole units. Word consistency ensures that word transfers cannot be interrupted by other processes in the CPU (the two bytes composing the word are always moved together and cannot be split). Use Word consistency if the data values being transferred are integers.
Word consistency
Buffer consistency
Figure A-29 -
Byte, Word, and Buffer Data Consistency
Buffer consistency ensures that the entire buffer of data is transferred as a single unit, uninterrupted by any other process in the CPU. Buffer consistency should be used if the data values are double words or floating point values or when a group of values all relate to one calculation or item.
You set the data consistency as part of the I/O configuration in the master. The data consistency selection is written to the DP slave as part of the initialization of the slave. Both the DP master and the DP slave use the data consistency selection to be sure that data values (bytes, words, or buffers) are transferred uninterrupted within master and slave. The different types of consistency are shown in Figure A-29.
User Program Considerations

Once the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module has been successfully configured by a DP master, the EM 277 and the DP master enter data exchange mode. In data exchange mode, the master writes output data to the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module, the EM 277 module then responds with most current S7-200 CPU input data. The EM 277 module continuously updates its inputs from the S7-200 CPU in order to provide the most recent input data to the DP Master. The module then transfers the output data to the S7-200 CPU. The output data from the master is placed into V memory (the output buffer) starting at the address that the DP master supplied during initialization. The input data to the master is taken from the V memory locations (the input buffer) immediately following the output data. The output data from the master must be moved by the user program in the S7-200 CPU from the output buffer to the data areas where it is to be used. Likewise, the input data to the master must be moved from the various data areas to the input buffer for transfer to the master. Output data from the DP master is placed into V memory immediately after the user program portion of the scan has been executed. Input data (to the master) is copied from V memory to the EM 277 for transfer to the master at the same time. Output data from the master is only written into V memory when there is new data available from the master. Input data to the master are transmitted to the master on the next data exchange with the master. The starting address of the data buffers in V memory and the size of the buffers must be known at the time the user program for the S7-200 CPU is created.
443
Status Information
There are 50 bytes of special memory (SM) allocated to each intelligent module based on its physical position. The module updates the SM locations corresponding to the modules relative position to the CPU (with respect to other modules). If it is the first module, it updates SMB200 through SMB249. If it is the second module, it updates SMB250 through SMB299, and so on. See Table A-43.

These SM locations show default values if DP communications have not been established with a master. After a master has written parameters and I/O configuration to the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module, these SM locations show the configuration set by the DP master. You should check the protocol status byte (for example SMB224 for slot 0) to be sure that the EM 277 is currently in data exchange mode with the master before using the information in the SM locations shown in Table A-44, or data in the V memory buffer. Tip You cannot configure the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP I/O buffer sizes or buffer location by writing to SM memory locations. Only the DP master can configure the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module for DP operation.

Appendix A
LED Status Indicators for the EM 277 PROFIBUS- DP The EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module has four status LEDs on the front panel to indicate the operational state of the DP port:
-
After the S7-200 CPU is turned on, the DX MODE LED remains off as long as DP communications are not attempted. Once DP communications have been successfully initiated (the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module has entered data exchange mode with the master), the DX MODE LED turns green and remains on until data exchange mode is exited. If DP communications are lost, which forces the EM 277 module to exit data exchange mode, the DX MODE LED turns OFF and the DP ERROR LED turns red. This condition persists until the S7-200 CPU is powered off or data exchange is resumed. If there is an error in the I/O configuration or parameter information that the DP master is writing to the EM 277 module, the DP ERROR LED flashes red. If user 24 VDC is not provided, the POWER LED will be off.
Table A-45 summarizes the status indications signified by the EM 277 status LEDs.

Additional Configuration Features

The EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module can be used as a communications interface to other MPI masters, whether or not it is being used as a PROFIBUS--DP slave. The module can provide a connection from the S7-300/400 to the S7-200 using the XGET/XPUT functions of the S7-300/400. STEP 7--Micro/WIN and a network card (such as the CP5611) using the MPI or PROFIBUS parameter set, an OP device or the TD 200 (Rel. 2.0 or greater, order number 6ES7 272--0AA20--0YA0) can be used to communicate with the S7-200 through the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module. A maximum of six connections (six devices) in addition to the DP master can be connected to the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module. One connection is reserved for a programming device (PG) and one is reserved for an operator panel (OP). The other four connections can be used by any MPI master. In order for the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module to communicate with multiple masters, all masters must be operating at the same baud rate. See the Figure A-30 for one possible network configuration. When the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module is used for MPI communications, the MPI master must use the station address of the module for all messages that are sent to the S7-200 to which the module is connected. MPI messages sent to the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module are passed on to the S7-200. The EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module is a slave module and cannot be used for communications between S7-200 PLCs using the NETR and NETW functions. The EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP module cannot be used for Freeport communications.

PROFIBUS-DP/MPI Network
Device Database File: GSD

Different PROFIBUS devices have different performance characteristics. These characteristics differ with respect to functionality (for example, the number of I/O signals and diagnostic messages) or bus parameters, such as transmission speed and time monitoring. These parameters vary for each device type and vendor, and are usually documented in a technical manual. To help you achieve a simple configuration of PROFIBUS, the performance characteristics of a particular device are specified in an electronic data sheet called a device database file, or GSD file. Configuration tools based on GSD files allow simple integration of devices from different vendors in a single network. The device database file provides a comprehensive description of the characteristics of a device in a precisely defined format. These GSD files are prepared by the vendor for each type of device and made available to the PROFIBUS user. The GSD file allows the configuration system to read in the characteristics of a PROFIBUS device and use this information when configuring the network. The latest versions of the COM PROFIBUS or STEP 7 software include configuration files for the EM 277 PROFIBUS--DP Module. If your version of software does not include a configuration file for the EM 277, you can access the latest GSD file (SIEM089D.GSD) at website www.profibus.com. If you are using a non-Siemens master device, refer to the documentation provided by the manufacturer on how to configure the master device by using the GSD file.

Sample Program for DP Communications to a CPU

A sample program in Statement List for the PROFIBUS--DP module in slot 0 for a CPU that uses the DP port information in SM memory is shown below. The program determines the location of the DP buffers from SMW226 and the sizes of the buffers from SMB228 and SMB229. This information is used to copy the data in the DP output buffer to the process-image output register of the CPU. Similarly, the data in the process-image input register of the CPU are copied into the V memory input buffer. In the following sample program for a DP module in position 0, the DP configuration data in the SM memory area provides the configuration of the DP slave. The program uses the following data: SMW220 SMB224 SMB225 SMW226 SMB228 SMB229 VD1000 VD1004 DP Module Error Status DP Status Master Address V memory offset of outputs Number of bytes of output data Number of bytes of input data Output Data Pointer Input Data Pointer

Features
You can operate up to two AS--Interface modules on the S7-200 at the same time, significantly increasing the number of available digital and analog inputs/outputs (maximum 124 digital input/124 digital output on AS--Interface per CP). Setup times are reduced because of the ability to configure at the touch of a button. LEDs reduce downtime in the event of an error by displaying status of the CP and of all connected slaves, and by monitoring AS--Interface main voltage. The AS--Interface Module has the following features:
-
Supports analog modules Supports all master functions and allows connections for up to 62 AS--Interface slaves LEDs in the front plate display operating status and availability of connected slaves. LEDs in the front plate display errors (including AS--Interface voltage error, configuration error) Two terminals allow direct connection of the AS--Interface cable. Two buttons display the status information of the slaves, switch operating mode, and adopt the existing configuration as the SET configuration.
AS-i
You can use the STEP 7--Micro/WIN AS-i Wizard to configure the (CP 243--2) AS--Interface module. The AS--Interface Wizard helps you use the data from an AS-Interface network in your configuration. To start the AS--i Wizard, select the Tools > AS- Wizard menu command. -i
463
Operation
In the process image of the S7-200, the AS--Interface Module occupies a digital input byte (status byte), a digital output byte (control byte), 8 analog input and 8 analog output words. The AS--Interface Module uses two logical module positions. You can use the status and the control byte to set the mode of the AS--Interface Module using a user program. Depending on its mode, the AS--Interface stores either the I/O data of the AS--Interface slave, diagnostics values, or enables master calls (for example, changing a slave address) in the analog address area of the S7-200. All the connected AS--Interface slaves can be configured at the touch of a button. Further configuration of the CP is not necessary. Caution When you use the AS--Interface Module, you must disable analog filtering in the CPU. If analog filtering is not disabled in the CPU, the digital point data will be destroyed, and error conditions will not be returned as bit values in the analog word. Ensure that analog filtering in the CPU is disabled.
Functions
The CP 243--2 is the AS--Interface master for the M1e master class, which means that it supports all the specified functions. This makes it possible to operate up to 31 digital slaves on the AS--Interface by means of double address assignment (A--B). The CP 243--2 can be set to two different modes:
-
Standard mode: access to the I/O data of the AS--Interface slave Extended mode: master calls (for example, write parameters) or diagnostic value request
Connections
The AS--Interface Module has the following connections:
-
Two connections to the AS--Interface Module cable (bridged internally) One connection for functional ground
+ AS- Cables -I Figure A-42
Functional Ground + -
The terminals are located under the cover of the front panel as shown in Figure A-42. h f l h i Fi A
Connecting the AS-Interface Module Cable
Caution The load capacity of the AS--Interface Module contacts is a maximum of 3 A. If this value is exceeded on the AS--Interface Module cable, the AS--Interface must not be looped into the AS--I cable, but must be connected by a separate cable (in this case, only one pair of terminals of the AS--Interface Module is used). The AS--Interface must be connected to the grounding conductor via the ground terminal. Tip The AS--Interface Module has a connection for functional ground. This connector should be connected to the PE conductor with as little resistance as possible.

Calculating a Power Budget

The S7-200 CPU has an internal power supply that provides power for the CPU itself, for any expansion modules, and for other 24 VDC user power requirements. Use the following information as a guide for determining how much power (or current) the S7-200 CPU can provide for your configuration.
Power Requirements
Each S7-200 CPU supplies both 5 VDC and 24 VDC power:
-
Each CPU has a 24 VDC sensor supply that can supply 24 VDC for local input points or for relay coils on the expansion modules. If the power requirement for 24 VDC exceeds the power budget of the CPU, you can add an external 24 VDC power supply to provide 24 VDC to the expansion modules. You must manually connect the 24 VDC supply to the input points or relay coils. The CPU also provides 5 VDC power for the expansion modules when an expansion module is connected. If the 5 VDC power requirements for expansion modules exceeds the power budget of the CPU, you must remove expansion modules until the requirement is within the power budget.
The specifications in Appendix A provide information about the power budgets of the CPUs and the power requirements of the expansion modules. Tip If the CPU power budget is exceeded, you may not be able to connect the maximum number of modules allowed for your CPU. Warning Connecting an external 24 VDC power supply in parallel with the S7-200 DC Sensor Supply can result in a conflict between the two supplies as each seeks to establish its own preferred output voltage level. The result of this conflict can be shortened lifetime or immediate failure of one or both power supplies, with consequent unpredictable operation of the PLC system. Unpredictable operation could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. The S7-200 DC Sensor Supply and any external power supply should provide power to different points. A single connection of the commons is allowed.
473
Calculating a Sample Power Requirement

Table B-1 shows a sample calculation of the power requirements for an S7-200 that includes the following:
-
S7-200 CPU 224 AC/DC/Relay 3 each EM 223 8 DC In/8 Relay Out 1 each EM 221 8 DC In
This installation has a total of 46 inputs and 34 outputs. Tip The CPU has already allocated the power required to drive the internal relay coils. You do not need to include the internal relay coil power requirements in a power budget calculation. The S7-200 CPU in this example provides sufficient 5 VDC current for the expansion modules, but does not provide enough 24 VDC current from the sensor supply for all of the inputs and expansion relay coils. The I/O requires 400 mA and the S7-200 CPU provides only 280 mA. This installation requires an additional source of at least 120 mA at 24 VDC power to operate all the included 24 VDC inputs and outputs.

Fatal Error Codes and Messages

Fatal errors cause the S7-200 to stop the execution of your program. Depending on the severity of the error, a fatal error can render the S7-200 incapable of performing any or all functions. The objective for handling fatal errors is to bring the S7-200 to a safe state from which the S7-200 can respond to interrogations about the existing error conditions. The S7--200 performs the following tasks when a fatal error is detected:
-
Changes to STOP mode Turns on both the SF/DIAG (Red) LED and the Stop LED Turns off the outputs
The S7-200 remains in this condition until the fatal error is corrected. To view the error codes, select the PLC > Information menu command from the main menu bar. Table C-1 provides a list with descriptions for the fatal error codes that can be read from the S7-200.

Run-Time Programming Problems

Your program can create non-fatal error conditions (such as addressing errors) during the normal execution of the program. In this case, the S7-200 generates a non-fatal run-time error code. Table C-2 lists the descriptions of the non-fatal error codes.

Compile Rule Violations

When you download a program, the S7-200 compiles the program. If the S7-200 detects that the program violates a compile rule (such as an illegal instruction), the S7-200 aborts the download and generates a non-fatal, compile-rule error code. Table C-3 lists the descriptions of the error codes that are generated by violations of the compile rules.

SMB0: Status Bits

As described in Table D-1, SMB0 contains eight status bits that are updated by the S7-200 at the end of each scan cycle.
Table D-1 SM Bits SM0.0 SM0.1 SM0.2 SM0.3 SM0.4 SM0.5 SM0.6 SM0.7 Special Memory Byte SMB0 (SM0.0 to SM0.7) Description (Read Only) This bit is always on. This bit is on for the first scan cycle. One use is to call an initialization subroutine. This bit is turned on for one scan cycle if retentive data was lost. This bit can be used as either an error memory bit or as a mechanism to invoke a special startup sequence. This bit is turned on for one scan cycle when RUN mode is entered from a power-up condition. This bit can be used to provide machine warm-up time before starting an operation. This bit provides a clock pulse that is on for 30 seconds and off for 30 seconds, for a duty cycle time of 1 minute. It provides an easy-to-use delay, or a 1-minute clock pulse. This bit provides a clock pulse that is on for 0.5 seconds and then off for 0.5 seconds, for a duty cycle time of 1 second. It provides an easy-to-use delay or a 1-second clock pulse. This bit is a scan cycle clock which is on for one scan cycle and then off for the next scan cycle. This bit can be used as a scan counter input. This bit reflects the position of the Mode switch (off is TERM position, and on is RUN position). If you use this bit to enable Freeport mode when the switch is in the RUN position, normal communications with the programming device can be enabled by switching to the TERM position.
SMB1: Status Bits

As described in Table D-2, SMB1 contains various potential error indicators. These bits are set and reset by instructions at execution time.
Table D-2 SM Bits SM1.0 SM1.1 SM1.2 SM1.3 SM1.4 SM1.5 SM1.6 SM1.7 Special Memory Byte SMB1 (SM1.0 to SM1.7) Description (Read Only) This bit is turned on by the execution of certain instructions when the result of the operation is zero. This bit is turned on by the execution of certain instructions either when an overflow results or when an illegal numeric value is detected. This bit is turned on when a negative result is produced by a math operation. This bit is turned on when division by zero is attempted. This bit is turned on when the Add to Table instruction attempts to overfill the table. This bit is turned on when either LIFO or FIFO instructions attempt to read from an empty table. This bit is turned on when an attempt to convert a non-BCD value to binary is made. This bit is turned on when an ASCII value cannot be converted to a valid hexadecimal value.

SMB2: Freeport Receive Character

SMB2 is the Freeport receive character buffer. As described in Table D-3, each character received while in Freeport mode is placed in this location for easy access from the ladder logic program. Tip SMB2 and SMB3 are shared between Port 0 and Port 1. When the reception of a character on Port 0 results in the execution of the interrupt routine attached to that event (interrupt event 8), SMB2 contains the character received on Port 0, and SMB3 contains the parity status of that character. When the reception of a character on Port 1 results in the execution of the interrupt routine attached to that event (interrupt event 25), SMB2 contains the character received on Port 1 and SMB3 contains the parity status of that character.

SMB31 and SMW32: Permanent Memory (EEPROM) Write Control

You can save a value stored in V memory to permanent memory under the control of your program. To do this, load the address of the location to be saved in SMW32. Then, load SMB31 with the command to save the value. Once you have loaded the command to save the value, you do not change the value in V memory until the S7-200 resets SM31.7, indicating that the save operation is complete. At the end of each scan, the S7-200 checks to see if a command to save a value to permanent memory was issued. If the command was issued, the specified value is saved to permanent memory. As described in Table D-12, SMB31 defines the size of the data to be saved to permanent memory and provides the command that initiates a save operation. SMW32 stores the starting address in V memory for the data to be saved to permanent memory.

The S7-200 resets this bit after each save operation. SMW32 The V memory address for the data to be saved is stored in SMW32. This value is entered as an offset from V0. When a save operation is executed, the value in this V memory address is saved to the corresponding V memory location in the permanent memory.
SMB34 and SMB35: Time Interval Registers for Timed Interrupts

As described in Table D-13, SMB34 specifies the time interval for timed interrupt 0, and SMB35 specifies the time interval for timed interrupt 1. You can specify the time interval (in 1-ms increments) from 1 ms to 255 ms. The time-interval value is captured by the S7-200 at the time the corresponding timed interrupt event is attached to an interrupt routine. To change the time interval, you must reattach the timed interrupt event to the same or to a different interrupt routine. You can terminate the timed interrupt event by detaching the event.

Execution Times for STL Instructions

Instruction execution times are very important if your application has time-critical functions. The instruction execution times are shown in Table F-2. Tip When you use the execution times in Table F-2, you should consider the effect of power flow to the instruction, the effect of indirect addressing, and the use of certain memory areas on these execution times. These factors can directly effect the listed execution times.
Effect of Power Flow

Table F-2 shows the time required for executing the logic or function of the instruction when power flow is present (Top of Stack = 1 or ON) for that instruction. When power flow is not present, then the execution time for that instruction is 1 s.
Effect of Indirect Addressing

Table F-2 shows the time required for executing the logic, or function, of the instruction when you use direct addressing of the operands and constants. When instructions use indirectly addressed operands, the execution time for the instruction increases by 14 s for each indirectly addressed operand used in the instruction.
Effect of Accessing Certain Memory Areas

Accessing certain memory areas, such as AI, AQ, L, and accumulators require additional execution time. Table F-1 shows the additional time that must be added to an instructions execution time when these memory areas are specified in an operand.
Table F-1 Adder for Accessing Memory Areas Memory Area Local Analog Input (AI) filtering disabled filtering enabled Expansion Analog Input (AI) filtering disabled filtering enabled Local Analog Output (AQ) Expansion Analog Output (AQ) Local memory (L) Accumulators (AC) Execution Time Adder 9.4 s 8.4 s 134 s 8.4 s 92 s 48 s 2.8 s 2.8 s
