Introduction

The two reference manuals Sucosoft S40 User Interface and Sucosoft S40 Language Elements are part of the Sucosoft S40 programming software. The Sucosoft S40 User Interface reference manual gives a complete description of the software package, its functions and how to use all Sucosoft tools. All the necessary steps up to the finished program are described. The reference manual Sucosoft S40, Language Elements contains definitions, Sucosoft language elements and programming features for all PLC types which can be programmed with Sucosoft S40. Sucosoft provides specific test and commissioning tools for every Sucosoft device type. These tools vary depending on application in either PS4 or PS416 controllers. The differences are indicated by means of headings or footnotes in the reference manual. PS4-200 refers to PS4-201-MM1, PS4-271-MM1, PS4-151-MM1, and PS4-141-MM1 controllers. PS4-300 stands for the PS4-341-MM1 controller. PS416 includes all types of CPUs, i.e. CPU-200, CPU-300 and CPU-400. The user interface is a standard Windows interface.

NAVIGATOR

Getting to know the NAVIGATOR

Introduction The NAVIGATOR will assist you with all tasks involving the organisation of Sucosoft S40 software and the generation of projects. It provides support for all necessary organisational tasks, consistently manages project-related information and enables you to create executable, PLC-specific program code. The NAVIGATOR furthermore allows you the ability to import function blocks and functions in the form of PLC-specific libraries. This supports standardisation and thereby shortens the time required for program development.

The NAVIGATOR user interface The NAVIGATOR user interface is bordered on the top by the title bar and by the status bar on the bottom. The title bar displays the project name, and the status bar includes the name of the project folder. The menu bar appears under the title bar, followed by the toolbar, and then the Sucosoft toolbar. The working area located between them is divided into three windows.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

NAVIGATOR

Figure 1: The NAVIGATOR User Interface

The upper left window (browser window) contains the tree structure window, displaying the respective folders. The bottom of this window is made up of the four file card tabs: Sources, Devices, Libraries and Options. The right-hand window shows the view of the file structure. Underneath these windows is the Output window in which status and error messages are shown that may, for example, be output during program code generation. The division of these windows is fixed. Only the horizontal and vertical size of the windows can be altered by dragging the window margins with the mouse.

Getting to know the NAVIGATOR Menu bar The following menus are provided in addition to the standard Edit, View, Window and Help menus: Project for editing new or existing S40 projects. File for editing objects selected in the browser and file window, Generate for creating executable program codes. Tools for implementing Sucosoft Tools or integrated Windows applications, and Options for importing and deleting additional libraries, for incorporating Windows applications and for setting up the NAVIGATOR environment to your particular requirements. Toolbar As well as function buttons for project management and program code generation tasks, the toolbars also provide list functions for selecting make files and PLC types.

NAVIGATOR Sucosoft toolbar The Sucosoft toolbar initially contains the four Sucosoft project tools that are also available in the Tools menu. To these toolbars can also be added buttons for starting Windows applications, see section Incorporating other applications in the NAVIGATOR on Page 13.

Figure 4: Toolbar buttons

Sucosoft S40 tools include: POU Editor. Here you can create the source files of your programs. Test & Commissioning. With this tool you can transfer your program to the PLC for testing. Form Editor. This tool enables you to view and edit standard forms for printing files. Topology Configurator. Here you can define the hardware configuration and set the device parameters. Status bar As in other Sucosoft S40 tools, the left section of the status bar displays the function of an activated button, the progress display when creating a make file or when generating program code, and the result of this generation. The right section of the status bar displays the path to the directory in which the opened project is located.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

The section in between shows the line, in which the cursor is located in the output window.

12

Getting to know the NAVIGATOR Context menus The context menus contain the most important commands for a selected object. They are opened by right clicking the selected object or window. The content of the context menu depends on where the mouse was activated and the selected object.

Incorporating other applications in the NAVIGATOR To start frequently-used Windows applications easily you can integrate the appropriate tool button into the NAVIGATOR Sucosoft toolbar.

Figure 5: Sucosoft toolbar (before)

Requirement: This is a windows application. Click Options Add Tools... The Add/Delete Tools dialog will open.

NAVIGATOR Importing additional libraries The Import Library option is available via Options Library Import or via the Import Library button.
Importing libraries

This allows you to transfer additional libraries previously created with the help of the Library Manager. Compared to using the source text of function blocks and functions, the use of function blocks and functions in library format has the advantage that the time required for compiling them is no longer necessary, and they can be considered to be error-free without the need for further testing. Such libraries vary according to the type of PLC and are accessible for all projects. Further information on creating these libraries is available in the online documentation Library Manager (AWB-C 2700-1366 GB). Information on the use of libraries is available in the section Using libraries on Page 67.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Getting to know the NAVIGATOR Changing dialog language Sucosoft S40 is available in German, English, French, Spanish and Italian. During installation you indicated which of these languages you wished to install and which language you wished to use. You can choose among the installed languages: Select the required dialog language via Options Dialog Language. Sucosoft S40 will convert to the selected language and will automatically restart.

Font and colour setting You can make font settings in the NAVIGATOR output window and in the POU Editor using the fields provided under the Font tab in Options Settings.... As well as defining the font, you can also set the colour of different outputs in the NAVIGATOR and syntax elements in the Editor. These settings can then be saved as a particular Scheme. The font styles Italic, Bold and Bold Italic are not supported in the Editor.

Project management Project management Introduction The NAVIGATOR contains the Sucosoft S40 Project Manager. This is used to organise all the necessary folders when you create a new project. The Project Manager cannot be replaced by other file management programs such as File Manager or Explorer. Source files that are copied with a different tool to the Project Manager or created with different editors can be imported and registered in a project at a later time, see section Exporting/importing sources on Page 36 and Registering sources on Page 39.

Source file and device view The content of the Tree Structure and File Structure windows depends on whether you have activated the source or device display, i.e. the file card tabs Sources or Devices. Clicking the Sources, tab will cause the tree structure window to show the Sources tree structure. At the same time the source files (POUs) and topology files belonging to the project will be shown in the file structure window. Double-click on one of these files to open the Sucosoft S40 Tool that they are associated with.

NAVIGATOR

Figure 9: The NAVIGATOR user interface with source file tree

The context menu (right mouse button) or File New, File Rename, and Edit Delete can be used for creating, renaming or deleting subfolders in the source file tree structure. Before you start to create your project files, make sure that the correct type of PLC is selected. This is displayed and selected in a selection window in the NAVIGATOR toolbar. This selection also affects the POU Editor since the data types as well as manufacturer-defined function blocks and functions offered there depend on the controller selected.

Figure 10: Selection window for PLC type

Project management After the Devices file card tab has been clicked, the tree structure window will show the three currently supported groups of PS416, PS4-300 and PS4-200 PLC types as subfolders (see section Selecting PLC type on Page 43).

Figure 11: The NAVIGATOR user interface with the device tree structure

You will not be able to create any further subfolders. If you select one of the three subfolders or have selected the corresponding PLC type in the toolbar selection window, the make files and executable user programs available for this PLC type will be displayed in the file structure window. Double-clicking a program code file (executable user program) will open the Sucosoft S40 Test & Commissioning tool.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

21

NAVIGATOR Options Clicking the Options file card tab will cause the tree structure window to display the Options folder, in which you can store any documents that you wish to store in your project. To do this use Windows Explorer to drag the file concerned into the file structure window of the Navigator or add it to the Navigator via Edit Paste. The document can now be opened in the appropriate application by doubleclicking from the file structure window or via the context menu. When saving or restoring a project, the Options folder will be included if this has been set on the Others tab via Options Settings.... Other subfolders can also be created in the Options folder.

22

Project management Creating a new project Choose Project New... or click the corresponding button to create a new project.
New Project button

This opens the Create New Project dialog:

Figure 12: Create new project dialog

First select one of the drives suggested.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

If you wish to create your project in a subfolder not yet created: Click the New Folder button and enter the name of the new folder in the New Folder dialog. Confirm the entry with the OK button.

23

NAVIGATOR The OK button will be made available if the project name entered does not already exist as a folder, does not contain any impermissible special characters and is not more than 32 characters long. Finally, enter the name of the folder for the new project into the New Project Folder entry field. Confirm the entry with the OK button. Sucosoft S40 will set up a project structure with the folders Devices and Source. The name of the open project will be displayed in the title bar, and the project directory, with path data if applicable, will be displayed in the status bar. Clicking the respective Sources or Devices tab will display in the folder window the files produced during the project in the Source folder (topology files and POUs) or in the Devices folder (make files and loadable application programs).

24

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Project management Source This folder stores all the project files that you create in the POU Editor or in the Topology Configurator. All the files you save are automatically registered by the Navigator under the current project. All topology and POU (program, function, and function block) files are therefore displayed in the file structure window on the right. The Topology Configurator or POU Editor icon in front of the file name allows you to arrange and locate the file types quickly. You can find additional information on the type of POU in the Type column. Other columns show you the size of the file, when it was last modified, and registration status. You can sort the files according to name, type and modification date by clicking the appropriate column header. How to view POU related information is described in section POU information on Page 41. If you have created Source subfolders, these will be offered as destination folders in addition to Source when you save a POU in the POU Editor.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

25

NAVIGATOR Devices All controller-specific files related to the project are stored in this folder. Device folders PS416, PS4-300 and PS4-200 are sub-filed in the Devices tree structure window on the left. After selecting the appropriate folder for the PLC type required, PS416 for example, you will see the make file created and the program code files in the file structure window. The structure and content of the tree structure window are preset and cannot be modified. When you generate a program code file, Sucosoft S40 creates a subfolder for the folder of the corresponding PLC type, identified by the name of the make file belonging to it. If you select this additional subfolder, all files logically connected to the make file will be displayed in the file structure window on the right. In this subfolder you can use the context menu to print, delete or view the properties of program POUs or program code files. Further information on this is provided in the section Program properties on page Page 65. Starting with a double-click in the file structure you can navigate between project-related files and Sucosoft S40 Tools, starting Test & Commissioning, for example. In addition, you can start a print or delete task in this window for each individuallyselected make file via the context menu.

NAVIGATOR Exporting/importing sources Export This function can be used to copy POU files from the current project to any location outside of the project. This function can be used on one or several selected POUs. To do this first select the POUs to be exported and then choose Project Export/Import... Export POU Sources... or select Export/Import... Export POU Sources... in the context menu for the selected file(s). The Export POU dialog window will open. Now select the destination folder to which you wish to export the file(s). You can also specify the format of the file(s) to be exported: S40 Format: This is the format of POUs for projects that were written with Sucosoft version 5.0 or higher. This format therefore enables you to process the exported files in this type of project. S40 V4.xx Format: This is the format of POUs for projects that were written with Sucosoft version 4.x or higher. The POU file name is therefore shortened to 8 characters. The POU information is retained, however. S40 Format V1.00 to V3.11: This is the POU format for projects that were processed with Sucosoft version 3.11 or an older version. The POU file name is therefore shortened to 8 characters. If the source file to be exported contains POU information, this is converted to a comment. This format therefore enables you to process the

36

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Project management exported files in an older project if you use programming elements that were not yet supported by this older Sucosoft version. Text File: This a simple text file. Special entries for processing the file(s) in Sucosoft projects are no longer contained. If the POU to be exported contains POU information, this is converted to comments in text format. This simple format allows you to process the exported file in other IEC/EN 61131-3 programming systems (see following paragraph Importing IEC/EN 61131-3 sources). Import This function can be used to copy POU files from any location outside of the project to the current project. All POUs are copied to the current project and registered there. This function can be used on one or several selected POUs. Either IEC/EN 61131-3 sources or S30 sources can be imported. Importing IEC/EN 61131-3 sources To do this choose Project Export/Import... Import IEC/EN 61131-3 Sources... or Export/ Import... Import IEC/EN 61131-3 Sources... in the context menu of a directory in the source file structure. This will open the IEC/EN 61131-3 Sources dialog box.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Now select the file(s) you wish to import. The file display of this dialog is preset for POU file types. However, it can be set for all file types as required.

37

NAVIGATOR The import function is possible for all IEC/EN 61 1313 source files, i.e. they must have a declaration section and instruction section in ASCII format. The Sucosoft S40 version of the source file or whether it was written with a different editor is not important. The only requirement for a successful import is that the file name corresponds to the name of the program, function or function block inside the file. After the import has been successfully completed, the imported file has the extension POE and is stored in the source file structure for which you have called the function. Importing S30 sources To do this choose Project Export/Import... Import S30 Sources... or Export/Import... Import IEC/EN S30 Sources... in the context menu of a directory in the source file structure. This will open the dialog box with the caption Please Select An S30 Program File.

NAVIGATOR Printing Unlike the print function of the individual S40 tools, the NAVIGATOR print function allows you to print files individually or all together. The printout in this case uses the currently set cover and form sheet. Printing all files To print all the files belonging to a user program, click the Devices tab and select the make file in the file structure window belonging to the program concerned. You can then print by means of the menu item File Print, via the context menu, or by clicking the button. The first page printed shows an overview of the project directory with information on the CPU type, the data of the make file, compiler flags, and program parameters as well as the main program and all POUs used, including path and type. After the overview the following is printed out: the Global Data Types, the topology for the make file, the POUs and instance tree. The program parameters, global data types, the device configuration, the instance tree and the functions and function blocks of the program can only be printed if the appropriate output was activated on the Print file card via Options Settings... .

NAVIGATOR Program code generation Introduction A wide range of commands are provided for creating executable, PLC-specific program code. These commands can be directly carried out via the Generate menu item or by means of the toolbar buttons (see Figure 3). These commands will be described below in sections. Generation of program code is carried out in two phases: the creation of a make file in which the elements (files) are specified that must be included in the program code generation process, i.e. the program POUs (including the instantiated function blocks and functions they contain), the topology file and the program code parameters. You create the file once for each program POU in your project. The files will automatically have the name of these program POUs. Sucosoft S40 will then automatically update the file as soon as you modify the program POU, for example, by incorporating or removing function blocks or functions, program parameters, or the topology. Only if the program POU is linked with a completely different topology configuration (e.g. another PLC type) or vice versa, does the make file have to be created again. Generation of program code is carried out on the basis of the make file and therefore depends on the elements included in the file. Make sure that all POUs in a project have different names. If there are function blocks of the same name in different subfolders of the current folder, the function block registered at the time of the generation will be selected. All unregistered sources will be ignored during generation.

42

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Program code generation In a project with several program POUs (main programs) several make files can be generated and stored. They will automatically receive the name of the respective program POU.

Selecting PLC type The data types and manufacturer-defined function blocks and functions available to you in the POU Editor depend on the PLC type selected. You should already have selected the PLC type appropriate to the topology files before preparing to generate program code. The following controllers are currently grouped under the three selectable PLC types:

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

43

NAVIGATOR PS4-200: PS4-141-MM1, PS4-151-MM1, PS4-201-MM1, PS4-271-MM1 PS4-300: PS4-341-MM1 PS416: PS416-CPU-200, PS416-CPU-300, PS416-CPU-400 Select the desired PLC type in the selection window in the toolbar. If the PLC type does not correspond to the one specified in the topology file and to the one selected for the make file, you will receive a corresponding error report when you attempt to generate a make file.

Creating a new make file Requirement: The required PLC type must have already been selected. Choose Generate New Make File..., or the corresponding button.
New Make File button

The New Make File dialog window will open.

Program code generation

Figure 18: New Make File dialog

Select the program POU you wish to generate as an executable control program from the program POUs list box. Select the topology file from the Topology Configurations list box which is appropriate for your controller configuration and for the program POU you previously created with the Topology Configurator. Confirm with the OK button. The make file, from which the executable program can be generated, will be created. The selected files and default program parameters are entered in the make file. A report will appear in the status bar when the list is created. All other changes to program parameters, i.e. all changes to the project are automatically entered in the make file. Unlike older Sucosoft versions, the required function blocks and functions required for generating the program code are not saved in the make file but are determined anew for each access.

NAVIGATOR Setting program parameters Selection of controller-specific program parameters You can set program parameters such as compiler options for the currently selected PLC type or relevant parameters for program performance such as maximum cycle time, password, and marker range. This is carried out via the menu item Generate Program Parameters... or the corresponding button.
Program Parameters button

Changing program parameters for the PS4-200 Requirement: PS4-200 must have been selected as PLC type. Initiate the setting of parameters via Generate Program Parameters.... The PS4-200 Program Parameters dialog will open for the current make file:

Program code generation Runtime settings Complete the Runtime Parameters panel or click the Default button to choose the preset default values. Password: The password is used for protecting the PLC from unauthorised access. It can consist of a maximum of 8 characters (letters and numbers). If you wish to change a saved password, enter the new password and confirm with OK. The password is requested every time a connection is established (Connect) if the PLC concerned contains a password-protected program. When the correct password is entered once, all functions are freely available until the connection (Disconnection) is closed. If there is no response to a requested password or in the case of an incorrect entry, an error message will appear and the connection will not be established. : A version code for the program to be generated, composed of a maximum of four letters and numbers, can be assigned in this field. The version number will be displayed in the Program Status dialog box of the Test & Commissioning tool under Program Version. This facilitates identifying various program versions when troubleshooting. Startup behaviour after Not Ready: If the running user program is interrupted by a Stop error, such as maximum cycle time exceeded, the PLC will switch to Not Ready.This can occur at any place in the program. Make sure, therefore, that any possibly inconsistent variable or marker values in Warm Start Behaviour are avoided, i.e. that no dangerous circumstances can arise! The startup

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

47

NAVIGATOR behaviour after Not Ready described is only effective and appropriate with the switch in the RUN position. Stop: After a program error there is no restart. Warm Start:Selects a PLC warm start. Cold Start:Selects a PLC cold start. Warm start or cold start may only be selected when the process to be controlled can also be restarted after an undefined interruption with the Not Ready status without danger to man or machine. Maximum Cycle Time: This entry field is used to enter the maximum cycle time for the program in the range from 1 ms to 255 ms. The default setting is 60 ms; it should only be set to a lower value when you know precisely the typical program cycle time and wish to achieve such precise fault control. If the program exceeds the maximum set cycle time while running, the controller will switch to Halt.

Program code generation Markers This is where you define the marker range which is declared with directly represented variables with the identifier AT%M. This range is subdivided into normal markers and warm and cold start retentive markers.

Assign the marker ranges for the PLC working memory under the Markers tab: Active Marker Range: This defines the PLC marker range which can be addressed as directly represented variables with the identifier %M. The maximum number of these markers is 16 KByte (0 -16383). The standard setting is no active marker range.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

49

NAVIGATOR Retentive Range: This specifies the range of the warm start retentive markers. Warm start retentive markers retain their last value before PLC shutdown and continue to operate with these values after a warm start. The retentive range is a subset of the active marker range and must not overlap the recipe range. Recipe Range: This specifies the range of the cold start retentive markers. Cold start retentive markers retain their last value before PLC shutdown and also through a cold start. The recipe range is a subset of the active marker range and must not overlap the retentive range. Retentive and recipe marker ranges must both be set within the defined limits of the active marker field and may not overlap each other. The use of the keyword RETAIN in the declaration of retentive markers for the PS4-200 only has a documentation function. The actual retentive setting is made in the marker range. The settings become active only after compiling and transfer.

Program code generation Periodic: The program is restarted when the specified time interval has elapsed. In addition, program execution must be completed before the specified maximum program runtime. Click on the Periodic tab to enter the parameters for periodic program execution.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

You must specify: The required time interval (time between the individual program invocations). The entry can be made in: - Milliseconds in the value range 1 to 60000 - Seconds in the value range 1 to 3600 - Minutes in the value range 1 to 1440 - Hours in the value range 1 to 960 - Days in the value range 1 to 40. The value for the maximum program runtime. The value you specify must not exceed the specified time interval and must be less than or equal to 1000 milliseconds.

53

NAVIGATOR Warm Start: If the user program is restarted, execution will be resumed at the position where it was interrupted. The data declared with the keyword RETAIN is reused. For this the operating mode switch must be set to RUN. Cold Start: This starts the user program with the initialisation values of the variables. The operating mode switch can be set to RUN or RUN-M-RESET for the cold start option. No Restart: If this has been selected with the setting Warm Start as startup behaviour, the user program will not be automatically restarted when the power supply is restored. Attempting a warm start will cause the PLC to switch to NOT-READY and will increment the diagnostics counter for the ENR diagnostics bit. A version code for the program to be generated, composed of a maximum of ten letters and numbers, can be assigned in this field. The version number is displayed in the Program Status dialog box of the Test & Commissioning tool under Program Version. This facilitates identifying various program versions when troubleshooting.

NAVIGATOR Warm start retentive markers retain their last value before PLC shutdown and continue to operate with these values after a warm start. The retentive range is a subset of the active marker range and must not overlap the recipe range. Recipe Range: This specifies the range of the cold start retentive markers. These markers are declared as directly represented variables with the identifier AT%M. Cold start retentive markers retain their last value before PLC shutdown and also through a cold start. The recipe range is a subset of the active marker range and must not overlap the retentive range. Recipe values are retained with each cold start. This means that they must be initialised before they are first used in the user program. With the PS4-300 recipe data is also retained after the operating system is transferred. The retentive marker range and the recipe marker range must both lie within the defined limits of the active marker range and must not overlap each other. Retentive markers for the PS4-300 can also be declared with the keyword RETAIN if required. Only the recipe range must be defined via the Program Parameters. The settings become active only after compiling and transfer.

Using libraries Using libraries Introduction Sucosoft S40 is provided with ready-made and tested function blocks and functions in the form of manufacturer-defined libraries for each of the three PLC types.

Figure 24: View of a manufacturer-defined library

In addition to manufacturer-defined libraries you can import other libraries. These can be libraries you have created yourself with the S40 Library Manager, which is available as an S40 add-on module. There may also be other libraries available from Moeller or other suppliers. After you have entered a library into your project, its function blocks and functions (user modules) are available for use in your project in the same way as manufacturer or user-defined blocks.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

67

Library view After clicking the Libraries tab, the tree structure window will display the Library file tree with the PS416, PS4-300 and PS4-200 device folders as subfolders and their corresponding library groups (see Figure 24 ). The Library view offers a brief overview of which modules, i.e. which manufacturer-defined and userdefined function blocks and functions are available for effective programming. The Help function also provides information on the individual modules (see section Using Library Help on Page 69). No further subfolders can be created. When you select a subfolder, a folder with manufacturer-defined libraries and, if imported, a folder with user-defined libraries will be displayed. By clicking the appropriate folder, the PLC-specific functions and function blocks belonging to that library will be displayed in the file window.

68

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Using libraries Using Library Help Library Help, for a specific function block, for example, can be accessed by the usual Help procedure in the menu or via About in the context menu. First, open the PLC-specific folder in the Library tree view, then select the desired subfolder and select the module you are looking for in the file structure window (see Figure 24). Now call up Help. You will find detailed explanations loaded with example programs for all manufacturer-defined function blocks and functions. If a library POU does not have a Help text, the POU information created in the POU Editor via File POU Info... will be shown as Help text instead. You can paste these passages into your POU by selecting the declaration or instruction section of the example program with the left mouse button and then saving on the Clipboard.

Importing or deleting libraries With this option you can transfer or delete an additional library created by the Library Manager itself or by other means. Libraries must be created separately for different PLC types. You must take this into account when creating your POU as well as during subsequent library generation in the Library Manager.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

NAVIGATOR Importing libraries Choose Options Library Import or click on the Import Library button.
Import library button

The Import Library dialog window will open. Now select the libraries you wish to import. This dialog will only display libraries (*.lib). After it is imported into a project, Sucosoft S40 manages the library and makes its function blocks and functions available for the corresponding PLC type in all projects. Deleting a library Deleting a library will remove it from Sucosoft S40 management. Choose Options Library Delete or Delete in the context menu for the Library file tree structure in the tree structure window.

70

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Using libraries Creating a library Creation and subsequent modification of a library will only be described briefly here. You will find a detailed description in the manual S40 Library Manager AWB-C2700-1366GB. Function blocks (FBs) and functions to be used as library modules are generated like any other POU. The project for generating these POUs is referred to here as the original library project. After creating these library modules, a program POU must be created for testing purposes, in which the library modules are instantiated (FBs) and called up. After the program code has been successfully generated, the modules can be grouped into a library with the help of the Library Manager.

Using a library Imported libraries are available to all projects except the original library project. A library cannot be imported while the library origination project is open in the Navigator. A library cannot be imported into its original library project since more than one module of the same name may not appear. POU names used in a library must not be assigned more than once in a project. Sucosoft S40 monitors the assignment of names.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

71

NAVIGATOR Activating and deactivating library modules Libraries are automatically activated when imported. After clicking the Library tab you can confirm activation in the appropriate column of the Navigator file structure window. There are two reasons that could prompt you to deactivate a user library: When no library module is being used in a library user project and you wish to conserve memory for saving the project. When you wish to subsequently edit a library module in the original library project. Choose Edit Activate/Deactivate or the Activate/Deactivate option in the context menu.

Editing of library modules at a later time If you open the original library project with the library activated, all the library entries will be deactivated so that the original POUs can be compiled with the next program generation. The corresponding warning messages will appear in the Output window.

72

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Using libraries Follow these steps to ensure that modified POUs are included in the generation: Deactivate the respective library in the NAVIGATOR. Modify and save the originating POUs in the POU Editor. Register the POUs in the NAVIGATOR via the menu point Project Register Sources. Generate the program code. Import the library after creating an updated version in the Library Manager.

Saving libraries Libraries cannot be saved individually, only along with a project as a component. When saving a project the most recently imported libraries apart from those that were deactivated will be saved as well.

Restoring a library Libraries cannot be restored individually, only as part of a project. When you restore a project containing a library, it will be stored under the corresponding PLC type folder in the Devices project branch. To transfer the library to Sucosoft S40 management, you must import it manually as described above.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

73

NAVIGATOR Information on libraries If you have selected a PLC type in the tree structure window of the Libraries tab, you can use the Properties function in the context menu to display information on the libraries of this PLC type in the Library Information dialog. This information consists of the selected PLC type, the list of all libraries for this PLC type with the total number of libraries and the number of deactivated libraries, the list of all groups in the libraries for this device type with the total number of groups and the number of hidden groups and the list of all POUs in the libraries for this device type with the total number of POUs, the number of hidden POUs, the number of function blocks and functions.

75

NAVIGATOR the number of the functions and the function blocks that are hidden in the physical library selected under Name and which cannot therefore be used, the number of the functions and the function blocks that are deactivated in the physical library selected under Name and which cannot therefore be used, the notification whether the library is password protected or not.

Importing S30 programs

Programs that you have written in Sucosoft S30 can be imported to Sucosoft S40. A program conversion is used that matches the program content to the IEC/EN 61131-3 standard. Programs can be imported and converted that were written for the PS316/PS306 with the suffixes *.q6b or *.q6w, for the PS3 with the suffix *.q3 and for the PS4-201-MM1 and PS4-141/151-MM1 with the suffix *.q42, with the appropriate reference files.

Structure of the S30 program source The S30 program source can consist of the main program and several Include programs that are incorporated into the main program.

76

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Importing S30 programs If other reference files are required for generating the S30 program in addition to the main reference file, these must be incorporated into the source programs (*.Q**) using the Include instruction. All S30 sources must be located in the same folder. In this case, symbolic operands are declared and used in the converted program. The symbolic operands are also provided with a comment specifying the contact characteristics (M/B) and terminal designation (T) that were defined in the reference file.

Type of conversion Use a newly created S40 project for the conversion. The conversion will change the S30 program into a program type POU and, if necessary, into one or several function block POUs. The S30 converter automatically generates equivalent S40 programs during the conversion process. S30-S4 or S30-S3 source programs are converted to programs for PS4-200 compact PLCs, S30-S316 source programs are converted to programs for the PS416. Remember to create a hardware configuration with the Topology Configurator for your PS416 PLC (see Page 187). Due to the different programming concepts, the converter may in some cases not be able to make a complete conversion and may not be able to generate syntactically correct POUs. A syntax check should therefore always be carried out after importing in order to rectify any errors reported.

NAVIGATOR Conversion procedure Open the new S40 project and ensure that it does not contain any POUs. Existing POUs will be overwritten by imported POUs with the same name. Choose Project Export/Import Import S30 Sources.... This will open the window for selecting an S30 program file:

Figure 25: Selecting an S30 program file

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Set the File Type list box to the imported source file. Select the source file (*.Q??) of the main program you wish to import and click the Open button. After this process has been completed successfully, the window opens for selecting the relevant S30 reference file. Select the relevant reference file (*.Z??) and click the Open button. Ensure that the other programs (*.Z) and (*.K) are located in the same folder as the source file.

Importing S30 programs Sucosoft S40 indicates the progress of the conversion in the Output window. The sources are registered automatically after the conversion has been successfully completed. The remaining steps are the same as in general POU processing. Instructions/sequences that have not be imported are transferred unchanged and appear as comments. In this way, the user is notified of unconvertible program sections via the syntax check.

Program adaptions during conversion Adapting names In order to fulfill IEC/EN 61131-3 requirements with regard to POU and variable names, some adaptions are carried out during the import. Modifications in the name of a program or function block: Two _ _ underlines in succession are converted to _ I. An underline at the end of a name is changed to the single character E. A number at the beginning of a name is preceded by the single character A if the name is less than 8 characters in length. If the name is 8 characters long, the number is changed to the corresponding letters: 0 for A, 1 for B, 2 for C etc.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

79

NAVIGATOR Changes in the name of a symbol: A number at the beginning of a symbol is preceded by D. An underline at the beginning/end of a symbol is preceded/followed by a U. Two _ _ underlines in succession in a symbol are converted to _ I. If these characters were used in your S30 source program, check whether the automatic name change has by accident created identical names for different variables. Transferring the system parameters When importing S30-S4 source programs the system parameters (active marker range, max. cycle time...) are stored as comments in the program POU header. For program code generation in the NAVIGATOR you must first create the make file and then set the commented parameters via Generate Program Parameters... (see section Setting program parameters on Page 46).

S30-S316: conversion restrictions Topology configuration There is no topology configuration in S30-S316. After the conversion you must create the S40 topology for the required PS416 PLC in the Topology Configurator and save it in the project. You can generate the program after you have written the make file.

Importing S30 programs SK sequential control function block The SK sequential control function block is available in S40 programming for the PS4200/300 PLCs in the form of the equivalent SFC function block. This function block is not available in S40 programming for PS416 controllers. The SK function blocks are nevertheless portable so that the sources can be used for PS4 controllers or for corresponding function blocks for the PS416. COM serial interface function block The COM function block for serial communication functions in Transparent mode. Mask and Text mode are not supported in the PS416. The SlotNumber input and the two outputs InterfaceStatus and SlotError remain unassigned in S40 because they did not yet exist in S30. The S30 inputs I1 to I32, as well as TOFF and ROFF, are not supported in the PS416 system and are therefore not converted. The TADR and RADR inputs are AnyARRAY type inputs in S40. The size of these arrays cannot be recognised by the converter if this information is contained in a variable. The array size must then be defined in the declaration of the S40 source program.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

81

NAVIGATOR ICPY function block The ICPY module is converted to the TransferArray function block. The Source and Destination inputs are AnyARRAY type inputs in S40. The size of these arrays cannot be recognised by the converter if this information is contained in a variable. The array size must then be defined in the declaration of the S40 source program. ICP function block The ICP function block is converted to the CompareArray function block. The Source and Destination inputs are AnyARRAY type inputs in S40. The size of these arrays cannot be recognised by the converter if this information is contained in a variable. The array size must then be defined in the declaration of the S40 source program. DSW diagnostics status word Only the following PS306/PS316 compatible diagnostic bits are supported in the PS416: DAK: Card not fitted DBM: CPU battery failure Address operator The address operator in S30-PS316/306 programming does not have any equivalent in S40 programming for the PS416. Although it is converted for the PS4-200 in S4 programming, the PS416 code generator will report a syntax error.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

82

Importing S30 programs PP and SYS commands The PP operands and the SYS commands are transferred to the S40 source program without any changes. They create a syntax error when compiled. In this case, adapt your program logic accordingly. Flash markers The three flash markers of the PS316 (e.g. FRQ1) are replaced with appropriate time generators. Timers The timers of the PS316 (e.g. T24) are replaced with suitable time generators. NOP command The NOP command does not exist in S40. It is not converted. TEST command The TEST command is replaced by the functions IsZero and IsPositiv. #define command The #define command is not supported in S40. It is therefore transferred as a comment.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

83

NAVIGATOR S30-S3: conversion restrictions Topology configuration There is no topology configuration in S30-S3. After the conversion you must create the S40 topology for the required PS4-200 PLC in the Topology Configurator and save it in the project. You can generate the program after you have written the make file. C0 high-speed counter function block The C0 function block cannot be converted, because a similar counter with a hardware input and scaling factor is not available. TR function block on-delayed timer The TR function block has a basic clock rate of 100 ms. It is replaced by a suitable time generator.

S30-S4: conversion restrictions NOP command This command does not exist in S40. It is not converted. Printer control commands Printer control commands such as TITLE are not supported in S40 and are transferred as comments. CK function block input DATE
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Unlike the S30 CK function block, the RealTimeClock function block requires a year entry at the RealDate input. This entry must be updated by the user.

POU Editor

Overview

The POU Editor is the Sucosoft S40 tool you use to create your POUs. The term POU stands for Program Organisation Unit and denotes the three POU types program, function block, and function from which a PLC program is constructed. These different POU types allow you to divide an extensive programming task into several subtasks which are in turn handled in function blocks or functions. In this way, the user program is kept to a manageable size and handling is simplified. This approach is known as structured programming. In the following, the three types of POUs from which a PLC program is constructed programs, function blocks, and functions will be described. You can convert a previously-created POU (program, function block, or function) into a different type of POU. To do this, use the Convert POU type option Section Converting POU types described on Page 183.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

85

POU Editor Program type POU The program POU represents the main program. All project variables firmly defined at a physical address (markers and inputs and outputs, for example) are declared in the program. Functions blocks and functions can be called up from a program.

Function block POU Function blocks (FBs) are important elements in structuring your PLC program. They are used by programs or other FBs and can themselves call up other FBs or functions. The internal data of FBs is retained for the time between one call and the next. Sucosoft S40 provides numerous standard function blocks and functions for use in frequently encountered programming tasks.

Function type POU Functions are also structuring elements for your PLC program. They are used by programs or FBs and can themselves call up other functions. A function can display one or any number of input parameters it is linked to and delivers the result as a return value. Unlike a function block, a function only returns one element. Internal data is not saved so a function, called up with the same input values, always delivers the same return value. Functions are valid throughout the project and can be called up from any POU.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Before beginning to create your POU, select the correct PLC type in the Navigator toolbar selection window. The following three PLC types are displayed, under which the currently selectable

86

Overview controllers will be listed according to group: PS4-200, PS4-300 and PS416. Depending on the PLC type selected, the corresponding data types, manufacturer-defined function blocks and functions are made available to you.

Structure of a POU POUs always consist of a declaration section and an instruction section: The declaration section is where you declare the variables you wish to use in the instruction section. Sucosoft S40 uses these variables to initialise, process, and save your data. You create your user program in the instruction section. To create a user program you can choose between the textual programming languages, Instruction List (IL) and Structured Text (ST), or the graphical languages Ladder Diagram (LD) and Function Block Diagram (FBD).

User interface of the POU Editor User interface of the POU Editor Like the POU itself, the POU Editor window is divided into declaration and instruction sections (Variables Editor and IL Editor, respectively). Both sections are shown when an existing POU is to be opened or a new one is to be created.

Figure 26: POU Editor with declaration section (Syntax mode) at the top and the instruction section at the bottom Toolbar, see Page 98 Language element toolbar for IL, ST, LD or FBD; see Page 99 Declaration section (in Syntax mode), see following section Instruction section, see Page 91 File card tabs for switching quickly between POUs, Output window and Editor for global types

A number of Windows standard shortcuts are listed in the Appendix on Page 437 for optimum use of the POU Editor.

89

POU Editor Declaration section Sucosoft S40 provides either a tabular, Syntaxcontrolled Variables Editor (Syntax mode) or a purely textual, Free Variables Editor (Free mode) for entering variables in the declaration section. Both modes are described in Section Declaring variables from Page 106. Switching between Syntax mode and Free mode With an open POU you can switch between the two modes by choosing Options Variables Editor Free Mode/Syntax Mode or via standard toolbar buttons.
Free mode button Syntax mode button

You can define basic settings for the Variables Editor when creating a new POU, i.e. the mode in which the Editor will open, via Options Settings... Editor Display Mode in Declaration Section. The declaration section is independent of the programming language employed and is therefore the same for all programming languages.

90

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

User interface of the POU Editor Instruction section You create your user program in the instruction section. The instruction section is where you link previously declared variables or function blocks via operators to form an operable POU, and possibly using functions, to form an executable user program. New variables that were used in the instruction section can be transferred to the declaration section and declared via Insert Variables Declaration... or via the context menu: Position the cursor in the instruction line containing the new variable and then call the variables declaration function. You can switch between the instruction section and the declaration section by clicking the left mouse button or by choosing Window Change. The language toolbar is activated as soon as the cursor is positioned in the instruction section. Tool tips The Sucosoft S40 tool tips offer simple and quick information on the buttons of the toolbars. These can be particularly useful for variables in the instruction section. In this way you can provide information the manufacturer or user-defined data types or function blocks, by positioning the cursor on the variable name. Functions and function blocks are shown as prototypes with all their relevant inputs and outputs and data types. These tool tips are only available in textual programming languages.

User interface of the POU Editor Edit menu The Edit menu provides standard functions such as Undo, Restore, Find..., Replace... and Go To.... The Undo and Restore functions work separately for the declaration section and the instruction section. If, for example, you wish to undo an action in the instruction section, the cursor must also be positioned in this section. The Find elements for the Go To... function depend on the cursor position and the selected programming language. Pressing the More button in the Find... and Replace... dialog boxes enables you to select additional search criteria. The options for searching/ replacing in several files can be particularly helpful, allowing the search to be extended to the files associated with a particular make file or files that belong to the current project. The result of a find/ replace operation in several files is shown in the Output window. The Find Undeclared Variables menu item allows you to search the opened POUs for variables that are used in the instruction section but which are not yet declared. The result is shown in the Output window under Undeclared Variables. Double-clicking a line in the Output window will move you to the location of the variable in the instruction section.

User interface of the POU Editor Insert menu The Insert menu is used for inserting manufacturer and user-defined functions or already declared variables. For this the cursor must be positioned in the instruction section before the menu is opened. The Variables Declaration menu item enables new variables to be declared. The Variables From Topology menu item enables directly addressed variables from your topology to be transferred and declared. When declaring variables, it doesn't matter whether the cursor is located in the declaration section or the instruction section. Online menu The Online menu enables you to edit your POUs online during test and commissioning (see Page 385). Options menu The Options menu offers the following settings: Variables Editor: switching the declaration section between Free and Syntax mode (Page 90).

User interface of the POU Editor Font: This is the same font and colour setting that can be carried out in the NAVIGATOR. For example, you can define the colour for keywords or the background colour of comments. Multiple-nested comments cannot be shown in the same colour. The settings you have made can be saved as a new scheme by clicking the Save As... button and entering a name for the scheme. Print: If you wish to print or display in the NAVIGATOR a project or parts of it selected via a make file, you can define the content of the output in the options selected here. For example, you can include or exclude in the output the display of the device configuration and the global data types. Customize Toolbars... menu Once this dialog has been opened you can adapt the toolbars of the POU Editor to suit your personal requirements or create additional toolbars. The toolbars of the POU Editor can be reduced in size by clicking the unwanted buttons and dragging them (mouse button depressed) over the edge of the POU Editor. You can increase the size of toolbars or re-compose them by adding the buttons from the dialog box or another toolbar. You can create your own toolbars named consecutively ToolBar1 ... n by dragging the buttons onto the screen. The toolbar created in this way can be positioned as required or hidden. It cannot, however, be removed from the list of available toolbars.

POU Editor Output window The Output window is used for displaying the results of different operations. It is opened automatically as soon as the operation you have started has been executed. You can close the Output window at any time if it impairs your view of the screen. The Output window can display error reports, the results of a find/replace operation in several files, the results of a search for undeclared variables or a cross-reference file. The contents displayed depend on the operation you have started or on the file card tab that you have selected: Error report display An error report will appear if you have started a syntax check of the POU and Sucosoft S40 has found an error. Find/Replace display The results of a find/replace operation in several files will be shown with all the locations of the search string with the file name, line, column and program line in the declaration section and instruction section and in the global type file (usertyp.typ), if appropriate. Cross-reference file The cross-reference file is displayed for the current POU if you have selected File Cross-Reference File beforehand. This cross-reference file enables you to move easily to the required position of a variable in the instruction section. To do this, doubleclick the appropriate line in the cross-reference file list.

This is carried out via Options Settings Editor Output Window. The Output window is then displayed according to the setting made. When in docked mode the Output window is positioned directly below the Editor window. You can drag the Output window to the position required by clicking the handle and docking it to any of the four edges of the Editor window. A docked Output window is always visible and cannot therefore be moved to the background. An undocked Output window can always be moved to the background as required. You can bring one of the opened POUs or the Output window to the foreground as required by clicking the file card tab or via the Window menu.

101

POU Editor Variables declaration The declaration section is where you define the variables (assign a data type or a function block to the individual variables) you wish to link together in sequences in the instruction section. Depending on the application concerned, add other values to the declaration such as initial values, attributes or, in the case of directly represented variables, an address. A variable is identified by a name. This name must be different from the POU with which it is associated. Writing conventions for variable names are described in the sections Variables and Compliance with the IEC Standard, in the manual S40 Language Elements (AWB2700-1306-GB).
Element Name (variable names) Type (Data type) Initial value Attribute Address Comment Entry required required optional optional optional optional

This assignment of variables in the declaration section is called instantiating, whereby Sucosoft S40 automatically reserves the required memory in the PLC. Function blocks are also declared as variables. Functions occupy no permanent memory and are therefore not declared. Declarations and instances no longer needed should be deleted from the POU to minimise the amount of memory required.

102

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Variables declaration Scopes for variables This section provides information on the permissible scopes for variables, according to the POU type concerned. Understandably, a program POU cannot recognise an External variable since the Global variable type is the only one that can be declared in program type POUs. A program POU can only occur once inside a project.

Input Input variables are used to transfer parameters to functions or function blocks. They can only be accessed as Read Only. Keyword: VAR_INPUT Output An output variable that is declared in the function block in which it is supplied as the return value. You can supplement the declaration of output variables with the attribute RETAIN or CONSTANT (see Page 114). Keyword: VAR_OUTPUT

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

103

POU Editor Input/output An input/output variable (also known as passing parameter) is read and processed by a function block and output under the same name. When the parameters are passed with the function block call, the IN_OUT variable receives a pointer to the transferred variable and its memory location. Since an operation on an IN_OUT variable thus directly affects the content of the transferred variable, the transferred variable must not be of a type that does not permit write operations such as variables with the attribute CONSTANT. Input/output variables must assigned parameters and connected with every call. Keyword: VAR_IN_OUT Global You declare a variable as global in the program POU when you wish it to be valid in the program POU itself and in the function blocks called up by the POU. It must be declared as an external variable (VAR_EXTERNAL) in all the function blocks in which the variable is to be used. A global variable can therefore only be declared in the program POU. Global variable declarations can be assigned the attribute RETAIN or CONSTANT (see Page 114) as well as being assigned an address (see Page 114). Keyword: VAR_GLOBAL External If you wish to use a variable declared as global in the program POU within a function block it must be declared as an external variable in the function block. Keyword: VAR_EXTERNAL
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Variables declaration Local A local variable is only valid in the POU in which it is declared. Global variable declarations can be assigned the attribute RETAIN or CONSTANT (see Page 114) as well as being assigned an address (see Page 114). Keyword: VAR Type The keyword TYPE is used for declaring userdefined, derived data types with local scope in the relevant POU. Derived data types are special data types you can derive, i.e. compile yourself, from elementary types. As an alternative to these local type definitions, you can make global type definitions via File Open Global Types. Example: By declaring a derived data type Pressure as an INT data type with a limited value range, the new data type can be used for declaring variables:
TYPE Pressure : INT (0..100); END_TYPE VAR ChamberPressure: Pressure; END_VAR

The variable ChamberPressure is thereby also an INT data type but can only hold values in the range of 0..100.Keyword: TYPE

Generating variables from the topology This function is only available in program type POUs. You can transfer the physical PLC addresses defined in the Topology Configurator to the declaration section of a program POU in order to reduce the amount of editing required. These physical PLC addresses such as PLC inputs and outputs or elements of the communications memory are called directly represented variables. They are entered automatically for the global scope and are therefore known within the program POU as well as within the FBs that are called from this program. The assignment of symbolic names is useful but not compulsory (see the chapter Directly Represented Variables in the manual S40 Language Elements).

Variables declaration Declaration Wizard Variable declarations can be made "free-hand" or with the aid of the S40 Declaration Wizard. The S40 Declaration Wizard simplifies declarations by proposing the order and number of entries required, as well as a selection of available function blocks and data types. It also limits the possible scopes according to the POU type being processed. For example, the local, global and type scopes for the Program POU. Variables declarations using the Declaration Wizard are carried out in the Insert Variables Declaration dialog of the relevant PLC. This dialog box can be opened via Insert Variables Declaration..., the context menu, function key F5 or via the appropriate toolbar button. The symbol button is enabled if you show the declaration section in Syntax mode or if the cursor is in the instruction section.

Figure 35: Declaration Wizard with a selection of manufacturer-defined data types

New variables can be accepted after you have selected a function block or data type and made the necessary entries for variable name, scope and length, if necessary. Only then is the OK button available and no longer dimmed so that variables can be accepted in the declaration section. Instances of function blocks, i.e. variables assigned with a function block, can be used as local and global variables in the program POU and as local or external variables in function block POUs. In order for a function block instance to be valid in all POUs, it must be declared as a Global variable when used in the program POU and as an External variable when used in a function block POU in a sub-folder.

Variables declaration The Manufacturer file card tab provides all the manufacturer-defined function blocks and data types available for the PLC used. The data types provide a group with derived data types and several groups with elementary data types. All the data types provided here are pre-defined and are identified by keywords. Further information and notes on manufacturerdefined data types and function blocks are provided in the Help system via the context menu (F1) or direct Help (?). The User file card tab provides all the user-defined function blocks and global data types available for the PLC used. These data types, also known as derived data types, are type declarations that were previously created via the Open Global Types function, see Section Opening/editing global types on Page 185.

POU Editor Entry cells for variable properties in the Syntaxcontrolled Variables Editor: Name: Enter the variable name here. The length of the name is limited to 64 characters. Type: Enter the variable data type in the Type cell. This can be an elementary data type (such as BOOL, UINT, etc.), a derived data type, or a function block. Initial value: The value you enter here will be assigned to the variable when the PLC is started. If you enter nothing, the variable will be assigned the default value (0 for numeric variables). Attribute: Use this box to define whether the variable should be assigned an attribute. You can choose between RETAIN or CONSTANT. RETAIN: This keyword specifies that the variable is retentive, i.e. it is retained in the event of a power failure or when the controller is halted. The RETAIN attribute can also be used with FBs. CONSTANT: This keyword specifies that the variable is a data element whose value cannot be changed by the PLC program. Address: When you require a variable with a set relation to a physical address, i.e. a directly represented variable, establish this relation by entering an identifier letter for memory location and an identifier letter for data format in the address cell.

Variables declaration

Figure 39: Sample list of declared variables in Syntax mode

Due to its tabular layout in Syntax mode, the Variables Editor arranges its assigned components (name, type etc.) in a set format during declaration. Tabulators or line breaks inserted into comments in Free mode will be represented as squares in Syntax mode and then again as spaces after switching back to Free mode. When writing (variables, for example) you may use upper and lower case letters as you wish. The POU Editor is not case-sensitive here.

POU Editor Free mode Free mode is designed for experienced programmers who are familiar with declaring variables in Sucosoft S40 and require a fast entry tool. In Free mode, every declaration line must be entered in the correct syntax. Errors will not be reported until the syntax check for the entire POU is carried out. Unlike Syntax mode operation, the Variables Editor shows all scopes all declared variables at the same time in Free mode, thus providing a better overview of variables already declared.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Variables declaration Procedures: Switch to Free mode, if applicable. Declare the variables according to scopes in separate declaration blocks. Enter the appropriate keyword for the required scope. This is shown in colour. For greater clarity separate the individual components of a declaration line with tabs. You must observe the following sequence in declaration blocks: VAR must not be placed in front of VAR_INPUT, VAR_OUTPUT, VAR_IN_OUT. In general, all the variables described for Syntax mode are available (see Section Scopes for variables on Page 103). Enter the same variable properties that were described for Syntax mode (see Page 114). Conclude the declaration block with the appropriate keyword. Enter comments for further explanation of the corresponding declaration lines. Begin comments with an initial parenthesis followed by an asterisk and end them with an asterisk and a closing parenthesis, e.g. (*Comment*). Comments are also shown in colour. Saving a POU The Editor checks POU format before saving. It begins by checking that all declaration blocks are bracketed with correctly written keywords, e.g. VAR...END_VAR; TYPE...END_TYPE.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Sucosoft will show an error message if it finds an error, a missing END_VAR or comment ending, for example. Check the declaration section in Free mode and make sure that there are no additional characters before a VAR or after a END_VAR, and that all comments are correctly closed. 119

Programming in ST Programming in ST Overview Structured text, or ST for short, is a PASCAL-based programming language. In PLC programming, ST simplifies the programming of loops and alternative instructions and the programming of powerful command constructs using abstract commands. The instruction section of a POU created in ST consists of at least one statement or a sequence of statements. Statements consist of command constructs that are combined to form an executable function. Each statement must be terminated with a semicolon. The syntax rules to be observed when creating a POU in ST are described completely in the manual S40 Language Elements (AWB27001306-GB), in the chapter Programming in Structured Text (ST). ST and IL sequences can be combined inside a POU if the IL sequence or ST statement is properly terminated. However, a POU containing ST elements cannot be displayed in graphical languages LD and FBD or completely changed to IL.

Programming in LD

Overview The graphical programming language LD originated from the field of electromagnetic relay systems and is therefore especially suited to the programming of logical sequences of binary variables with their potential states of TRUE-1 or FALSE-0. LD represents the flow of current through a network starting from the left current rail possessing the TRUE state, through the various network elements and the variables, to the right current rail. The resulting sequence is determined by the network elements, their order, and their type of connection (serial or parallel).

132

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Programming in LD A POU may consist of individual networks corresponding to the program sequences. The sequence network number is located in the network header and comments can be entered below the network number. LD networks consist of the graphical objects: Connections (horizontal and vertical lines), Contacts and coils, Jump instructions, Function and function block calls. You can declare variables in the Variables Editor which is common to all programming languages. You will find a detailed description of variable declaration on Page 106. Programs can always be written in IL, LD and FBD programming languages interchangeably. This means that you can create a program in LD, for example, and then display it or continue working in IL or FBD. While doing this, you must take note of the restrictions which are explained in the section Section Changing programming language from Page 175. To create a POU in LD click on the LD POU Editor in the instruction section, i.e. via the corresponding toolbar button.

Programming in FBD

Overview The FBD programming language has it origins in the field of electrical signal processing. In FBD, the instruction section is divided into networks as in LD. The individual objects (language elements) are represented with the help of graphical symbols. Structuring of the POU is carried out via these graphics. FBD recognises the following objects: Connections Execution control elements (jumps) Function block and function calls Operators Operators, functions and function blocks are shown as rectangular block symbols with connection lines for inputs on the left side and connection lines for outputs on the right. The ends of connection lines are to be assigned parameters (variables/constants) or connected with other inputs or outputs. They are initially assigned with undef_opd. Several operators and functions can be linked in any sequence within a network. A function block is treated as an individual network to which no other program components can be added

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

149

POU Editor except for pre-switching conditions in the form of contact elements. In contrast to a function, it can contain several inputs and outputs. A function can only have one output with several possible inputs. When writing a user-defined function block, the inputs and outputs are shown on the function block symbol in the order in which they were declared in the Variable Editor of the function block concerned. This order can be changed via the Variables Editor. FBD networks consist of the following graphical elements described below: Network labels, Network comment and Network graphics. Network label Every network which is to be a jump destination for another network must begin with an alphanumeric identifier or an unsigned decimal integer which serves as a jump label. This label must not be confused with the consecutive numbering with which the POU Editor automatically begins each network. Network comments Network comments can be entered between network labels and network graphics. One comment per network is allowed but it can be extended to several lines by pressing the Enter key.

150

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Programming in FBD Network graphics Network graphics consist of graphical elements (block symbols) with input connection lines on the left and output connection lines on the right side. Data flows over these connection lines and then over the further-extending horizontal or vertical connection lines to graphical elements where it is processed and led on to the output. Outputs from one block, as well as those of different blocks, cannot be connected together because the source of the data to be passed on would not be clear. Data flow can only occur from an output or from a variable/constant to one or several inputs of a subsequent block. Declare the variables in the Variables Editor common to the programming languages. You will find a detailed description of the variables declaration on Page 106. Programs can always be written in IL, LD and FBD programming languages interchangeably. You can therefore begin writing a program in FBD and then display or continue writing it in IL or LD. While doing this, you must take note of the restrictions which are explained in the section Section Changing programming language on Page 175. To create a POU in FBD activate the FBD POU Editor in the instruction section via the corresponding toolbar button.

Changing programming language

How to check, save and close your POU is described on Page 125.

Changing programming language

In general, IL, LD and FBD programming languages are interchangeable if the POU is syntactically correct. If not, an appropriate error message will be generated. IL and ST language elements can also be mixed, however, they must be terminated with an IL sequence or an ST statement, as well as being syntactically correct. ST language elements and elements of the LD and FBD graphical programming languages cannot be mixed. The programming language can be changed in the following way: Choose Options Programming Language IL/ FBD/LD/ST or Select the desired programming language via the toolbar button in the standard toolbar.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Figure 64: Language selection button

175

POU Editor The instruction section for the POU will appear in the selected programming language. Some instruction sequences of a program created in IL cannot be shown graphically, even when the Sucosoft syntax is correct. When converting programs of this kind into one of the graphical languages, a network with the message Network cannot be graphically displayed will be issued for each program section which cannot be converted. The instructions and statements concerned will be displayed in IL.

Figure 65: POU section which cannot be graphically displayed

The following examples are offered to help you solve any problems arising from conversion restrictions.

Conditional function block call A CALC or CALCN function block call that was programmed in IL cannot be displayed graphically.

After changing to LD or FBD the program section appears as follows (it cannot be edited here).

Solution: Programming a conditional jump of the CAL function block call when the variable Palletizing is 0 results in an IL program that can be displayed graphically.

The prototype is shown in the right-hand part of this figure, i.e. the interface of an FB or function type POU.

Converting POU types Converting POU types Use this option when you want to use the contents of an existing POU in a new POU of a different type (program, function, or function block) or when you have selected the wrong POU type when creating the POU with File New POU. Requirement: The POU whose type you wish to change is open in the POU Editor. When the POU type is converted, there are some declarations that cannot be converted. This applies to the scopes that are not available with the new POU type (e.g. input or output variables in the Program POU). The instruction section is nevertheless accepted unchanged. Choose File Convert POU Type. Select the desired POU type in the list box that opens showing the current POU type with a check mark and the change will be carried out. The new POU type will be displayed in the title line of the POU Editor.

Opening/editing global types Opening/editing global types You can easily make declarations of complex types, such as structures, that you wish to use for several POUs within the overall project, by declaring them in a separate editor that you can call up via the menu bar by choosing File Open Global Types. You can make type declarations by combining derived and elementary data types within the keywords TYPE...END_ TYPE (See Derived Data Types in AWB2700-1306-GB). Remember that although this kind of type declaration is valid for all POU types, it is only valid for the selected PLC!

Figure 69: Global user-defined data types

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Unlike derived data types that only have scope within the POU concerned, the data types formed here are global, i.e. their scope is within the entire project. They can thus be used, for example, as data types

185

POU Editor for input or output variables for function blocks. As a further example, complex data can be transferred by using a structure variable at a function block input for processing.

Cross-reference file

This shows a list of all declared variables for the current POU including the POU lines in which they are used. It also provides the physical address or location of directly represented variables. The POU cross-reference file is created via File Cross-Reference File. The updated cross-reference file is then shown in the Output window. Doubleclicking the line that contains the required variable in the cross-reference file will cause the POU Editor to move to the position in the instruction section where the variable was first used. Menu item Print in the context menu of the Output window can be used to document the cross-reference file.

Figure 70: POU cross-reference file

186

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

A POU cross-reference file list for all POUs listed in the current make file can be created via File CrossReference File in the NAVIGATOR. This kind of central cross-reference file list shows, for example, the global/external interrelationships between program and function block POUs.

Topology Configurator (Offline)

Basic principles

Structure The Topology Configurator supports two operating modes: Offline mode and Online mode. In Offline mode you can create your hardware system and enter the information required for the topology. The topology configuration is then compiled with the program it belongs to and loaded into the PLC. Online mode is used for commissioning the system. You can use the Test & Commissioning tool to carry out extensive diagnostics and test functions, such as wiring tests or network diagnostics. Online mode is described in further detail in chapter Test & Commissioning.

Offline mode The Topology Configurator allows you to create the hardware configuration of your automation system. The CPU is the hardware component that forms the basis of this configuration. Starting from the CPU unit (master PLC), the local and remote expansions of the automation system are defined and assigned parameters in the graphical user interface of the Configurator. The graphical Topology Configurator supports both Suconet K and AS-Interfacetopologies. PROFIBUS-DP, PROFIBUS-FMS and INTERBUS topologies are configured with their own configurators:

Topology Configurator (Offline)

Table 3: Overview of the configurators Configurator in Offline mode Configurator in Online mode (Test & Commissioning) Suconet K AS-Interface PROFIBUS-DP PROFIBUS-FMS INTERBUS Sucosoft S40 + CFG-DP Sucosoft S40 + CFG-Suconet-P Sucosoft S40 + CFG-CMD CFG-DP CFG-Suconet-P CFG-CMD Sucosoft S40

Plausibility checks The range of possible functions and the availability of cards and modules in the selection windows is determined by means of plausibility checks within the Topology Configurator. In this way the Configurator only offers the options that are permissible within the context defined. Tasks and considerations like complex current calculations, checks on I/O utilisation, the maximum number of connectable network lines, the permissible location of cards/modules, the memory requirement, the maximum number of LEs or cards/modules as well as syntax checks are handled by the Configurator automatically, thus ensuring that all configurations that are created are actually plausible.

188

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Basic principles The Topology Configurator will propose a suitable even numbered byte address for the highest output byte address of all configured PS416-OUT-400/-410 output cards. However the Topology Configurator cannot detect if you assign a PS416-OUT-410 (8 outputs) with a possible odd numbered byte address that overlaps the even byte address of a PS416-OUT400. These kinds of overlaps should therefore be avoided if you have mixed the configurations of PS416-OUT-400 and PS416-OUT-410 output cards!

Starting the Topology Configurator Start the Topology Configurator via The NAVIGATOR menu: Tools Topology Configurator or click the appropriate icon in the Sucosoft toolbar of the NAVIGATOR:

Topology Configurator (Offline) Network types Suconet K network PLCs used in a networked system can be programmed via a point-to-point connection established between the programming unit and the PLC concerned. The data is exchanged via Suconet K in master-slave mode. With Sucosoft it is also possible to program and commission subordinate PLCs in the first network level via a so-called master PLC, which is connected to the programming unit via a normal programmer interface. These PLCs are stations on Suconet K network lines that are managed by the master. Only one cable is thus required for programming, maintenance and communication, and several PLCs can be accessed from one central programming system.

190

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Basic principles AS-Interfacenetwork The Actuator-Sensor Interfaceis an open-standard and rugged fieldbus system which extends the networkability of automation devices down to the field level, i.e. the lowest process level. This is a single master system. There is therefore only one master for every AS-Interfacesubnetwork, which addresses the slaves in succession and carries out read or write data exchanges with them. This singlemaster system operates a typical cyclical polling of slaves, and ensures a defined reaction time. The AS-Interface bus also features a user-friendly and rugged connection system. Its open system capabilities are promoted and protected by the AS-InterfaceAssociation. The ASInterfaceAssociation also defines the so-called profiles which lay down the specifications for particular groups of similar network stations. AS-Interfaceslaves are defined by: the IO code, the ID code, a maximum of four initial parameters. IO code The number and division of inputs and outputs are specified by the IO code. The IO code is a parameter value between 0 and F. Up to four inputs and outputs can be selected. ID code The ID code identifies the device type and thus defines the meaning of the data and parameter bits. It is used to distinguish slaves with the same IO code. The ID code is for the generic AS-Interface components, which are the first 15 components of the Type selection window, and which can be selected with hex. 0 to F. 191

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Topology Configurator (Offline) When configuring non-Moeller devices (generic AS-Interfacecomponents), the device is uniquely identified by its IO code and ID code. Depending on the device type or profile, the initial parameters can be used to choose or enable/disable certain device parameters such as the frequency for proximity switches, the value range for current inputs and outputs, and the characteristics of make and break contacts for digital inputs and outputs. PROFIBUS-DP network The PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus is one of three different versions, all of which are compliant with EN 50170. PROFIBUS was developed for high-speed communication in applications for industrial automation and building services. DP stands for decentralised periphery and is based on the RS 485 protocol for data transmission. It covers layers 1 and 2 of the ISO/OSI reference model for networks. The PROFIBUS-DP network is configured in Sucosoft with the Topology Configurator and the PROFIBUS-DP CFG-DP Configurator (see online manual AWB-C2700-1336GB).

Topology Configurator (Offline) Remote expansion (in the AS-Interface network):To add a remote expansion to an ASInterfaceline, you have to add a master module as a local expansion in the topology configuration or open a configuration already containing an ASInterfacemaster. You can then add remote expansions to the AS-Interfacenetwork. For this select the AS-Interfacemaster module, such as LE4-505-BS1, or any device in the AS-Interfaceline behind which you wish to add a new AS-Interfacenetwork component. Open the Remote Expansion window by clicking the Remote Expansion button or choose Edit Remote Expansion. A list of possible expansion modules is shown:

Operations Select an AS-Interface profile which corresponds to a device group with the required features in the Preselection list. The Type list box then only shows devices of the specified profile. To get a list of all so-called generic components, which can be used to describe any AS-Interface device, choose All Profiles in the Preselection list. The names of the generic types indicate the number of inputs and output, e.g. 2 INP/2 OUT. Choose a profile in the Preselection list if you want to limit your selection to devices with a particular profile. Choose the required device from the Type list box. When specifying a new device, you are automatically prompted with the next unused address in the Station number pop-up list. If there are unused addresses between two stations, these will be assigned first of all. Change this value if you wish to set another unused address. The Properties field shows the particular features of the selected components: Manufacturer:Manufacturer of the selected AS-Interface component IO code:Each type is assigned a special IO code which appears automatically. The code 0 to F indicates the number of inputs and outputs. ID code: Identification code of a station type. For generic AS-Interface components selectable from 0 - F.

Topology Configurator (Offline) Topology configuration with Suconet K Topology configuration A hardware system for a special application can be made up of different network lines and stations connected to them. In this Single-master system one master and up to 30 slaves are possible. The topology consists of all the lines and stations (see Fig. 83 on Page 228) defined in the topology configuration. This topology configuration is therefore the overall configuration for the entire hardware system, and may consist of several individual device configurations.

Device configuration The device configuration must be created for each intelligent station (station with CPU that can run a user program) separately. It consists of a file containing all the information required by the intelligent station in order to operate its local and remote components, i.e. all the information for the Parameters dialog, I/O addressing and communication. The file is saved with the file name extension .DCF in the project. The Sucosoft S40 Topology Configurator cannot display several device configurations at the same time. An example of a displayed device configuration is shown in Fig. 87 on Page 233.

206

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Topology configuration with Suconet K A configuration file defines the following types of stations: the master all local components of the master PLC; they are later identified by line and station number 0. all remote components of the master PLC (network slaves). Network slaves are configured differently, depending on whether they have their own CPU or not: Configuration of a slave without CPU Only enter this slave, if necessary, with connected local components, in the master configuration. Suconet K automatically selects the appropriate telegram length for these slaves and addresses the data ranges addressed in the application. The receive and send data lengths (RD/SD) do not have to be set. Configuring a slave with a CPU (intelligent slave) This kind of slave runs its own user program and therefore has its own configuration. As well as being specified in the master configuration, a slave configuration must also be created for it. In the slave configuration enter the station and any connected local components. Also set the receive and send data lengths (RD/SD) from the point of view of the slave.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

207

Topology Configurator (Offline) In the master configuration enter this slave on the line concerned. Only the basic unit is specified in the master configuration and not the local expansions. Also set the receive and send data lengths (RD/SD) for this slave from the point of view of the master. Setting send and receive parameters Receive and send data lengths (RD/SD) do not have to be defined in the Topology Configurator for Suconet K communication between master and slaves without their own CPU. Suconet K automatically selects the appropriate telegram length and addresses the data ranges addressed in the application. For Suconet K communication between master and intelligent slaves (slaves with their own CPU), the number of receive and send data bytes (RD/SD) must be set accordingly in both the master and slave configurations. This is carried out in the Parameters dialog for the intelligent slave concerned. This is necessary since the data to be exchanged between master and intelligent slaves is communication data. The master cannot access the I/O data of the intelligent slave directly.

208

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Topology configuration with Suconet K Define send and receive data in the master configuration as follows: Send data is data that the master sends to the intelligent slave. Receive data is data that the master receives from the intelligent slave. The number of send data bytes defined in the slave configuration must correspond to the number of receive data bytes defined in the master configuration and vice versa (see diagram).
Master RD SD Line 1 Intelligent slave RD SD

RD = 5 SD = 2

RD = 2 SD = 5

The data exchange is initiated with the operands RD (Receive Data) for reading and SD (Send Data) for writing.

Topology Configurator (Offline) Addressing the slaves Each configuration component is displayed with a network and module address and the relevant component designation. A name up to twelve characters in length can also be assigned to each component. The Configurator shows the entry in the component designation (for example, see Fig. 89 on Page 235). The three-digit number sequence appearing above each configuration component is the card or module address. It is automatically generated when the component is added to the configuration. The address consists of the three elements for line number, station number and slot/module number. This three-digit address corresponds to the first three numbers of the variable address in the PLC program. For example, a module with the number sequence 1.3.7 is accessed in a PLC program with the variable address %Q1.3.7.0.0. Line Number: The line numbers are automatically assigned by the Topology Configurator and are numbered consecutively in ascending order from left to right, the first line being assigned the number 1. The master is always assigned line number 0. The number of network lines that can be connected depends on the type of master used. Station Number: The station numbers of the slaves are assigned in ascending order from the master, so that the master is assigned the number 0 and the first slave the number 1 etc.

Topology configuration with Suconet K Module Number: The module numbers are assigned in ascending order from left to right so that the basic unit is assigned the number 0 and the first local expansion module the number 1 etc. Power supply units are not included in the configuration.

Master - slave operation with Remote control All slaves that are configured as intelligent slaves in a Suconet K network can be set for Remote Control mode if required. In this mode, intelligent Suconet K slaves with their operating mode selector switch either in Run or Run M-Reset can be synchronised with the operating status of the master (Run or Halt). For this the Suconet master must be connected and its startup phase must have been completed. Warning! When Remote Control is active, the following special case must be taken into account in the event of a failure and subsequent restoration of the power supply due to the different times for the restart phases (see following table).

In order to prevent undefined states occurring in the sections of the installation controlled by the slave, the running of the slave user program should be made dependent on the secure Run state of the master. The communication status byte of the master can be used to see whether the Suconet K master is connected and in Run status. Example declaration

Topology configuration with Suconet K Special note with PS4-101-DD1 and PS4-111-DR1 The PS4-101-DD1 and PS4-111-DR1 compact PLCs can be run both as active slaves or passive slaves on the Suconet K line. When used as an active slave, which is also commonly known as intelligent slave, these PLCs run a user program and communicate with the master via receive and send data (RD/SD). This must be defined in the Topology Configurator on the master and the slave. When configured as a passive slave, without a user program, these PLCs provide the master with remote I/O (I/Q, IA/QA) information. The physical outputs (Q), however, can only be forced on passive slaves. The activation of an output byte on active slaves has no effect.

Topology Configurator (Offline) Special note with PS4-300 Synchronous operation of the Suconet K interface (default setting) Use Synchronous mode when you wish to synchronise the user program cycle with the Suconet K cycle. In this way both cycles are started simultaneously. This operating mode is the same for the PS4-200. The following two cases must be noted: User program cycle > Suconet K cycle:After one Suconet K cycle has elapsed, the next Suconet K cycle will be missed until the currently running program cycle is completed. The data exchange with the Suconet K slaves is therefore slower than is possible for Suconet K. User program cycle < Suconet K cycle:If the Suconet K cycle is longer, i.e. the data in the communication buffer is not yet refreshed, only data that was previously used is available for the user program. If you have selected Synchronous mode, you can optimise access to Suconet K data by using the diagnostics bits NKD_1 to NKD_3 of the message byte (see manual Hardware and Engineering, PS4-300, AWB2700-1311-GB). These diagnostic bits are refreshed by the PS4-300 according to the number of configured Suconet K network lines and can be queried via the OS system function PLC_Message. A completed data exchange is indicated by the diagnostics bits for the duration of one program cycle.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

214

Topology configuration with Suconet K If, for example, you have configured the PS4-341-MM1 with one Suconet K network line on its on-board SBI, this will refresh the NKD_1 bit. This can be used as follows for checking:
LD NKD_1 PLC_Message JCN ...

Depending on whether the PS4-300 is operating as Suconet K master or slave, a 1 at NKD_* bit will indicate the following: PS4-300 is master, NKD_1 = 1: data exchange with all slaves on line 1 has been completed. The receive data from all slaves is in the communications buffer, has been refreshed and can be read by the user program. The send data to the slaves can be overwritten by the user program. PS4-300 is slave, NKD_1 = 1: data exchange with the master of line 1 has been completed. The receive data in the communications buffer has been refreshed and can be read. The send data to the master in the communications buffer can be overwritten by the user program. When using the PS4-300 as Suconet K master with synchronous Suconet K mode, the maximum cycle time should not exceed 255 ms. Use Asynchronous mode if the program cycle and the Suconet K cycle should run independently, i.e. asynchronously. This has the same behaviour as the PS416. Data exchange is executed as quickly as possible for each station separately.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Operation as Suconet K slave If, for example, the power supply for all the Suconet stations of an installation has failed and has been restored, a PS4-300 running as a Suconet K slave

215

Topology Configurator (Offline) will consider itself as disconnected from the network if its restart phase is shorter than that of the master. After switching to Run the PLC will therefore set its DDK bit = 1. In this case the DDK bit signals a temporary fault that is cleared when the Suconet K master is restarted and the connection is completed. Configuration of send and receive data For problem-free Suconet K operation with a PS4-300 (as master and/or slave) you must not set 0 bytes send/receive data. If you do not require any data exchange, configure at least 1 byte of send data and 1 byte of receive data anyway.

216

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Topology configuration with Suconet K Special note with PS416 Input and output cards As the digital I/O cards of the PS416 modular PLC are not addressed according to their slot location, there are two ways of describing cards: The digital cards can be selected and displayed individually. This method is useful if you wish to ensure that the actual configuration matches the visual display in the Configurator. This method, however, is not absolutely necessary. The digital I/O cards of one rack can be combined together and configured with a symbol. Depending on which method you choose, you will later be able to use a group display of all digital I/O or an I/O display for each individual card when using the Force/Display I/O function in the Test and Commissioning tool. Multi-processing Multi-processing is a configuration in which several PS416 controllers are interconnected and exchange data via the local parallel bus. The following important points must be taken into account: When several PS416-CPU-200/300/400 cards are used in one rack, the function block CPUDataExchange can be used to exchange data between the individual controllers. For this the function block is used in the master and in the slave CPUs. This requires the following PS416 system configuration: Slot 2: Master CPU; Slot 4/6/8/...: Slave CPUs; PS416-CPU

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

217

Topology Configurator (Offline) Data is exchanged via a special 2032 byte memory range. Write or read operations to this data range can be carried out via a function block call. The PLC fitted in slot 2 is the so-called master PLC and all other CPUs are slaves on the local bus. In a configuration with several local CPUs remember that only the master CPU (slot 2) or the first CPU slave (slot 4) fitted in the rack is able to access the I/ O cards. There is an additional restriction for the slave card fitted in slot 4. It can only access digital I/ O cards. All other CPUs are not able to access local I/O cards. This must be taken into account in the configuration files for the CPU cards.

218

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Topology configuration with AS-Interface Topology configuration with AS-Interface The configuration of an AS-Interfacenetwork is basically the same as for a Suconet K network, in which the configuration is started with the bus master. Once this is completed you can then address individual slaves in an AS-Interfaceline transparently using the Moeller address notation. Configuration can be carried out in two ways: You can create a complete AS-Interface configuration offline in the Topology Configurator. You can just create a basic configuration offline. Sucosoft will then automatically detect the AS-Interfaceslaves on a line. With the first method you create a topology configuration to which you add the AS-Interface master to a network line and add the slaves as remote devices. This procedure is basically the same as for a Suconet K configuration, although the slaves of an AS-Interfaceline can be modified as required. The second method also requires a topology configuration with a locally specified AS-Interface master. Sucosoft uses this basic configuration to automatically detect online all active slaves on the AS-Interfacenetwork. Both approaches result in a new configuration which must then be transferred to the PLC as the so-called Permanent configuration together with the PLC program. The permanent configuration specifies all devices on the AS-Interfaceline and allows the PLC in Run mode to access all inputs and outputs of the AS-I devices.

Topology Configurator (Offline) Topology configuration with PROFIBUS-DP A topology configuration containing Suconet K and PROFIBUS-DP networks requires the use of two network configurators. The global configuration is created with Sucosoft, whilst the DP network is configured with a separate configurator (CFG-DP configurator) as part of the overall configuration. This configurator is also supplied with Sucosoft. The Sucosoft Topology Configurator just displays the DP master that starts the DP network. This card or module organises and executes the data exchange between the user program of the superordinate PLC and all connected slaves. The CFG-DP Configurator is used to define the bus parameters of the PROFIBUS-DP network. It is also used for configuring and assigning slave parameters and defining the allocation to one or several DP master cards or modules. The diagnosis and monitoring of the DP network is carried out with the DP Configurator. The configuration of the PROFIBUS-DP network is loaded directly on the DP master card or module with the CFG-DP Configurator. If the DP master is an LE4-504-BS1 module you must specify in the Parameters dialog the name of the PROFIBUS configuration file created in the CFG-DP Configurator.

220

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Topology configuration with PROFIBUS-DP Deviations between current and saved DP configuration When the user program is started, the current DP configuration of the DP master is registered by the system and saved as the permanent configuration. When the PLC is restarted after the power supply is switched on, the current configuration of the DP master is compared with the permanent configuration saved. The user program cannot start if any differences are detected. The PLC will then remain in Halt status.

Accessing the I/O of a PROFIBUS-DP slave PROFIBUS-DP slave I/O can be addressed via I or Q operands. For example, to access analog I/O use IW and QW to form the access address.

Syntax check of access addresses for PROFIBUS-DP slaves With the PS4-300 compact PLC the syntax of DP slave access addresses is checked during program generation. With the PS416 modular PLC the syntax of PROFIBUS-DP slave access addresses is not checked until the program is started.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

221

Topology Configurator (Offline) Maximum number of modules per slave The PS416-NET-440 and LE4-504-BS1 PROFIBUSDP masters support up to 60 DP modules per slave. In other words up to 60 I/O entries can be made in the CFG_DP Slave Configuration dialog.

Behaviour of the DDK or KOM diagnostics bits DP master The KOM diagnostics bit (PS416) and DDK diagnostics bit (PS4-341-MM1) are only set in the master CPU for a PROFIBUS-DP line when the master is in Run status (for Suconet in Ready and Run status). DDK signals a deviation between the actual configuration and the set configuration for one or several slaves, for example, due to wire breaks or a missing slave configuration. DP slaves The KOM diagnostics bit (PS416) and DDK diagnostics bit (PS4-341-MM1 or PS4-2xx-MM1) are not set in the slave CPU if a DP slave card/module (PS416-NET-441 or LE4-504-BT1) is disconnected. When the slave user program is in Run status, the NoDPCommunication diagnostics bit can be used to determine whether the slave is correctly exchanging data with the master.

222

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Topology configuration with PROFIBUS-DP Changing the DP configuration with CFG-DP If the PLC is in Run status when the DP configuration is downloaded to the master using CFG-DP, it will automatically be switched to Halt. In order to address the new DP I/O, the user program must be adapted, re-compiled and reloaded onto the CPU. The user program of a PS4-341-MM1 must always be re-compiled using the Generate All function.

Startup of a PROFIBUS-DP line of the PS416 modular PLC Depending on the number of slaves connected and the baud rate set, the time required to start a PROFIBUS-DP line may take longer than the start of the user program. This will cause the KOM bit to be set and the Error LED to light up on the PLC. In this case use the PS_ClearKomBit function block to reset the KOM bit and only evaluate the KOM bit in the program from then. Further information on the PROFIBUS-DP Configurator is available in the online documentation AWB-C2700-1336-GB.

Topology Configurator (Offline) Procedure Create the configuration as described in Section Topology configuration with Suconet K on Page 206. Ensure that a configuration file is created for each device with its own CPU. In this example this is necessary for devices A, B, C and D. First of all create a new configuration file for the master (compact PLC PS4-341-MM1) called Device A. This configuration should define the local and remote expansions accessible for this PLC, which are all the local expansion modules of device A, the PLC of device D (PS4-201-MM1), and device I. The slaves of device A's SBI module (device B and the SBI of device C) should also be defined in the configuration file for device A. Device B, the PLC of device D and the SBI of device C are slaves with their own CPU, i.e. they should be defined in the master configuration (device A configuration) without their local expansion modules.

Specify the number of send and receive data bytes to be exchanged between the CPUs of device A and D (see also Page 208 ): Select device D and open the Parameters dialog. Enter the number of send and receive data bytes (in the example SD = 9 bytes, RD = 7 bytes); i.e. the CPU of device A is to send 9 bytes of data to the CPU of device D and should receive 7 bytes of data from it.

These values must later correspond to the configuration of device D (see Page 242). Select the LE4-501-BS1 module and define the slaves of line 2 (PS4-141-MM1, LE4-501-BS1) using the Remote Expansion function. The topology configuration will now show a compact PLC (device B) in the master configuration and the network module LE4-501-BS1 (SBI) of device C. A separate configuration file will be created later for device C since it has its own CPU. The device configuration for device A only has the SBI of device C in line 2. Fig. 89 shows the configuration of device A with the view of line 2.

Figure 89: Device configuration of device A with view of line 2

As the CPU of device B is a slave on the Suconet K line, the receive and send data bytes must be set in the Parameters dialog for this slave (see also Page 208). The Topology Configurator shows the complete network line selected. The remaining lines are indicated by a short line underneath the module. In this example, if you select the master PLC (PS4-341-MM1), line 1 will be displayed whilst line 2 is shown with a short line underneath the LE4-501-BS1 module. If the SBI is selected that is the master of line 2, the slaves of line 2 are shown.

Topology Configurator (Offline) Procedure Create the configuration as described in Section Topology configuration with Suconet K on Page 206. Remember that a configuration file is created for each device with its own CPU. Configuration files must therefore be created for devices A, B, and D. First of all create a configuration file for the CPU of device A (PS416-CPU-400). This should describe the local and remote expansion modules that can be seen from the line/device views from the master. In this example, these are the I/O cards of the modular PLC device A, the connected stations in the Suconet K network of the master, as well as the slaves of the SBI module on device A. New configuration files must also be created for the PS416-CPU-400 modular PLC of device D and device B. These must be configured as slaves.

The separate configurators must be used for the DP network and for the MI4-471-TC1 touch panel. DP network: Create the DP network using the CFG-DP Configurator. In this configuration define the master with the connected slaves and save it as a separate configuration file. The Sucosoft Topology Configurator will only show the master (PS416-NET-440) that opens the line and the slave (PS416-NET-441) that passes on the information from all DP network slaves to the master. The configuration for the DP line is loaded to the master PLC via the CFG-DP Configurator. Touch Panel: The configuration of the touch panel is carried out with the MI4-CFG-1 Configurator, which is used to create a separate configuration file. Load the configuration directly from the MI4-CFG-1 Configurator to the touch panel operating system. Suconet K, AS-Interface: Sucosoft is used for the configuration of the Suconet K networks and the AS-Interfacenetworks. This is where the configuration files for devices A, B, D, F and K, are created since these all include a CPU.

Topology Configurator (Offline) The configuration example consists of: A PS416 modular PLC as central master in multiprocessing operation. Two other PLCs are connected to it via the local parallel bus. The digital output cards (PS416-INP-400, PS416-OUT-400) are addressed by the second PLC. The PS416-CNT-200 counter card is addressed by the master via the local bus. The master is connected to two remote expansion modules (EM4-101-DD2/88, EM4-201-XD1) via Suconet K. One expansion module is connected in turn to a digital local expansion module. Procedure Create the configuration as described in Section Topology configuration with Suconet K on Page 206. Create separate configurations for all three CPU cards. As described in Section Topology configuration with Suconet K remember that in a configuration with several local CPUs only the master CPU (slot 2) or the first CPU slave (slot 4) fitted in the PS416 rack is able to access the I/O cards. There is an additional restriction for the slave card fitted in slot 4. It can only access digital I/O cards. All other CPUs are not able to access local I/O cards. In this example the first slave CPU fitted in slot 4 is configured so that its device configuration contains the digital I/O cards. The master PLC defines the counter card in its configuration file.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

The communication between several PS416-CPU-200/300/400 controllers in one rack is handled by the local bus using the CPUDataExchange function block. For this the function block is used in the master and in the slave CPUs.

If the CPU is either the first or last station on the bus, set the RS 485 bus terminating resistors to ON. The bus terminating resistors of all other CPUs must be set to OFF. Setting in the Test & Commissioning tool Specify a connection in the Connection List window for each connected PS416, and enter a different Device Name (see Fig. 140 on Page 311). Enter the appropriate CPU address for each connection under Interface Settings (see Fig. 141 on Page 314). This provides an unambiguous identification for each CPU. Select a baud rate of 9600 baud. Restrictions Multidrop programming connections are subject to the following restrictions: No more than 31 PS416 controllers can be connected to one interface in this way. The transfer rate is limited to 9600 baud. Subordinate PS4-200, PS4-150 or PS4-271 PLC types cannot be programmed via Suconet K.

Programming connection via modem

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Data can be transferred between a PC and the PLC via the public telephone network using a modem. A PLC that is connected to the public telephone network via a modem can be diagnosed, for

316

Commissioning example, from a PC which is located in another town or country and also connected to a PC via a modem. You can also remotely operate and test a PLC via modem. For example you can remotely load program updates into the PLC, check the status of machines or carry out program diagnostics and remedy faults. All functions that can be carried out locally with the Sucosoft software can also be carried out remotely via modem. Requirements: Activate the Connection Via Modem check box in the Interface Settings dialog if you want to program the PLC remotely via a modem (see Fig. 144 on Page 321). To commission your modem you need the following components: Telephone connection (on PC and PLC) 2 modems (with manual)1) PC with available serial interface Connecting cables to the telephone socket and to the DTE. 1) Recommended modems tested by Moeller in pairs:

The modems must be run in Transparent mode, i.e. they must not automatically form blocks, checksums or make block repetitions. A telephone connection is necessary for data communication in the public telephone network. You can either connect the modem in parallel to an existing telephone by sharing the same telephone socket. In the case of a private telephone exchange (PBX) the modem can be connected to a separate telephone extension. Establishing a remote connection (Overview) Establish remote connection to a PLC by carrying out the following steps: Check the switch positions on the PC and PLC modem and change if necessary. Connect PC and PLC modems (Page 319) Initialise PC and PLC modem (Page 321 and Page 326) Establish the connection (Page 329), Terminate the connection (Page 331), Protection of PLC from unauthorized access (Page 332).

Commissioning Connecting the PC modem The PC is connected with an RS 232 cable to the PC modem via an unused serial interface on the PC. The PC modem is connected to the PLC modem via the telephone network (see Fig. 143 on Page 320). Connect the modem to your PC and to the telephone socket as described in the modem manual. Connecting up the PLC modem After installing and configuring the PC modem, it is necessary to connect up the PLC modem. The following items are required: A V.24 interface cable for the PLC modem A telephone connection close to the PLC One of the following PLCs: PS4-141-MM1 PS4-151-MM1 PS4-201-MM1 from version 05 PS4-271-MM1 PS4-341-MM1 PS416-CPU-400 from version 04 PS416-CPU-200/300 An external, asynchronous Hayes compatible modem. The modem is connected to the PLC by attaching the serial cable to the PRG interface socket. The socket and the pin assignments for the PS4-200 series controllers (PS4-141/151-MM1, PS4-201/271-MM1) and the PS4-341-MM1 controller are identical but are different from those of the PS416 series (PS416-CPU-200/300/400).

The settings in the Modem Connection section in the above dialog box are used to configure your PC modem.

321

Test & Commissioning Baud rate: The Baud Rate drop-down list is used to choose the transfer speed between the programming PC and the PC modem. The communication speed between the PC modem and the PLC modem is not configurable the two modems negotiate the fastest possible speed automatically when the connection is initiated. The configured interface speed between the PLC and the PLC modem must not exceed the configured interface speed between the PC and the PC modem. With remotely configurable modems this can be set via the standard terminal software or by sending modem AT commands from your PLC program using the SendATCommand function block. The SendATCommand function block is described in AWB2700-1306GB, Sucosoft S40, Language Elements. Further information on initialising the PLC modem is provided on Page 326. Timeout delay: The Timeout delay in ms entry field is used to define a standard delay time depending on the baud rate. This value defines the maximum time that Sucosoft waits for a response from the PLC. The suggested value depends on the configured modem baud rate and should not be reduced. You can increase the value if you expect a poor quality connection or an existing connection is often dropped without warning. AT commands for establishing a connection: The so-called AT commands, which are used to issue commands to the modem, have been standardised to a certain extent by the Hayes company. The AT Commands for the Connection text field is used to enter the commands for establishing the modem connection. In this way you can use this entry field to transfer an initialisation string (see Appendix) to the modem before the command for establishing the connection is entered.

Important AT commands are summarized in the Appendix. Please refer to your modem manual for a complete list of the AT commands which are supported by your particular type of modem. The standard AT command for a standard telephone connection is ATDP for pulse dial. Tone dialling is activated using the ATDT command. If pauses are necessary during the dialling process, this can be achieved by inserting the letter W within the number to be dialled. If your PC modem is connected to a private telephone exchange (PBX), the dial tone may differ from the standard dial tone and will then not be recognized by the modem. This can be remedied by changing the dialling command to ATX3DP for pulse dial and ATX3DT for tone dial, respectively.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

323

Test & Commissioning Examples: ATDP02286021414 Dial the telephone number 02286021414 from a direct telephone connection using pulse dialling. ATDT00W02286021414 Dial the telephone number 02286021414 from a PBX using tone dialling; wait for the outside line signal after dialling 00. ATX3DT1414 Dial the telephone number 0228 602 1414 from a PBX without a normal dial tone using tone dialling. If the modem can store configuration parameters, save your configuration with the command AT&W0. The command ATZ and a number can then be used to call this saved configuration, e.g. ATZ0. AT commands for terminating a connection: This field is used to enter the commands that are executed via Device Disconnect or via the Disconnect button.
Disconnect button

The standard AT command to disconnect the line is ATH0. It may be necessary to prefix this command with the characters +++ to ensure that the modem switches from the data communications mode back to the command mode in order to accept the command.

324

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Commissioning Connection Check via DCD line: The program will inform you if the connection to the PLC modem is established. Programming actions can only be carried out when the connection is valid. To use the Connection Check via DCD line function, the PC modem must be able to evaluate the status of the PLC modem carrier signal. The AT&C0 command cannot therefore be used for the PC modem, as it keeps the DCD signal permanently set. Display connection protocol: If you activate this check box, you will see a detailed log of each of the modem commands and reactions while the connection is being established. If this option is disabled, you should check the option Connection Check via DCD line, since otherwise you will not be informed about the connection status. If the log window is disabled, you will only see a short message to indicate whether the connection was made successfully or not. Wait for connection in s: This field is used to enter the maximum time that Sucosoft should wait for the connection via the PC modem to be established. If the connection has not been established within this time, the connection attempt will be aborted with an error message. Choose File Save to save the connection list.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

325

Test & Commissioning Initialising the PLC modem Several options are also available for initialising the modem and assigning parameters: Set the parameters once with a standard terminal program on your PC before connecting to the PLC. The configuration must then be stored in the modems non-volatile memory (Page 327 ). In a PS4-300 or PS416 program you can use the SendATCommand function block to address the modem and send it AT commands via the PRG interface (Page 329). If remote configuration is supported by your modem, you can configure the PLC modem from a remote PC through the telephone line. The transfer rate for the PC and PLC modems must be the same . This must be particularly observed when there has previously been a direct connection between the programming device and PLC. In this case, the transfer rate set there must be the initial setting of the PLC for the new modem connection. Depending on the functions available on the modem and the quality of the telephone network, the transfer rate must be reduced before the modem connection is established. A transfer rate of 9600 baud is suitable for most conditions. With the PS 4-200 compact controller, the baud rate should be set to 9600 baud only.

326

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Commissioning Initialising with a standard terminal program: You can initialise the modem with a standard terminal program, (e.g. Hyperterminal or Telix). Connect the PLC modem temporarily to a free serial interface on your PC. Start the terminal program and configure it to use the serial interface to which the modem is connected. Configure the serial interface as follows: Serial interface: 9 600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 Stop bit, no parity Flow control: disable XON/XOFF or CTS/RTS Local echo: OFF Terminal type: VT100 or similar. Check whether the PLC modem is ready and connected up correctly. In your terminal program, switch to Terminal mode, type in the characters AT and press Enter. The modem is ready and connected up correctly if it responds with the characters OK. Enter the following modem AT commands in the order shown. They are necessary to configure the modem for use with the PLC. The initialisation string shown in the Appendix for LOGEM 928 and LOGEM LGH 28.8D1 modems (Page 423) is an example. Since the necessary commands are not completely standardised for all modem types, compare the commands and their significance with the command list in your modem manual. The Appendix to this manual contains a selection of common Hayes compatible AT commands.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

327

Test & Commissioning Store the configuration settings in the modems non-volatile memory. Use the AT command AT&W0 to store the configuration in user setting parameter set 0. The settings are retentive even if the modem is switched off the settings are activated again when the modem is switched on. Modern modems usually have two or more parameter sets in non-volatile memory, whereby the default action is to load user setting parameter set 0 following power up or reset. Disconnect the modem from the PC and connect it to the programming interface of the PLC. If you have problems with data transmission or an existing connection is terminated without warning, disable the following protocols in the PLC modem with the AT commands listed below:
AT Command AT%C0 AT\N0 AT&U1 AT-J0 Meaning Disable data compression Disable automatic error correction Additional error protocols with V.32 (e.g. Trellis) Disable V.42 detection

328

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Commissioning Initialising via the PLC program: Use the SendATCommand function block in your PLC program in order to send the appropriate AT commands. Output the AT commands in the first cycle following the cold start to ensure that the modem is always correctly initialised without further program actions. See the manual AWB2700-1306-GB Sucosoft S40, Language Elements for information on the SendATCommand function block and an example of its usage. Initialising via remote configuration: An example of this is shown on Page 426. Using the modem with a private telephone exchange (PBX):When connecting up the modem to a private telephone network, pay attention to nonstandard features, e.g. differing pin assignment of the telephone socket, enabling the telephone extension for outside calls, or the procedure or code necessary to get an outside line. If necessary, contact the supplier of the PBX. Setting up a modem connection Requirements: The parameters of the required PLC connection have been set and the modem is properly connected to the PC and PLC. Ensure that the baud rates between the modem and the DTE (PC or PLC) are the same. Establish the modem connection between the programming device and the controller by clicking the Connect button. If you have activated the Display Connection Protocol check box, a successful connection establishment will be indicated by an appropriate message (in the following picture the plain text message CONNECT): 329

If the log window check box is disabled, you will only see a short message to indicate whether the connection termination was successful or not. Protection of PLC from unauthorized access Since it is possible to make a connection to the PLC modem with any other modem, you should protect the PLC and the connected machines against unauthorized access. Several methods are available: Password protection: Sucosoft provides password protection to protect a program or the PLC from unauthorized access. Password protection is the same for all modems used, but differs according to the controller type as follows:

332

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Commissioning PS4-300: With these PLCs, the PLC program can be protected with a password. The password must be entered for all actions that change the program or PLC status. See Page 300 for information on entering the password. PS416: A password can be assigned to the controller irrespective of the individual program or the number of simultaneously loaded programs. The password is requested each time you connect to the controller. See Page 300 for information on entering the password.

Access protection via the PLC modem: Modern modems provide a feature which requires a password to be entered before the connection is established. Note that this feature is not available for all modems and needs to be explicitly activated. Access protection via automatic callback: With this method of protection, the called PLC modem automatically terminates the connection after successful connection establishment, and returns the call automatically to a previously specified telephone number. Some modems allow several callback telephone numbers to be configured. Note that this feature is not available for all modems and needs to be explicitly activated. The PC modem must be configured for automatic call answering to use this option.

Test & Commissioning Programming via Suconet K PLCs that are designed for use in a Suconet network can be individually programmed just like stand-alone PLCs using a programming cable connected in turn between each PLC and the programming device (PC). Sucosoft also allows one or more subordinate PLCs to be programmed and commissioned via the Suconet network from a central master PLC which is connected to the programming device using a single programming cable. The subordinate PLCs must be stations on Suconet K lines which are directly managed by the master. Only one cable is thus required for programming, maintenance and communication and it is possible to address several PLCs from a single central programming system. Information on whether a particular PLC type can be programmed via Suconet is contained in the documentation of the respective PLC. Requirements: Programming via Suconet K requires the following:
Programming software Sucosoft S40 from version 2.1 Programming cable PLC type PS4: ZB4-303-KB1 PS416: PS416-ZBK-210 PS4-141-MM1/PS4-151-MM1 PS4-201-MM1 from V 05 PS4-271-MM1 PS4-341-MM1 PS416-CPU-300/PS416-CPU-400 from V 04 PS416-NET-400 from V 05

Commissioning Including networked PLCs in the connection list Requirements: In order to program PLCs via a Suconet K network, the master CPU must be configured as the network master. Furthermore, a small dummy program must be pre-loaded in the master and in all other PLCs to be programmed through Suconet K to ensure that the required, final topology configuration is available (it is embedded in the program code). The master PLC must also be specified in the connection list to allow the programming device to address the subordinate PLCs which are connected to it. Use the following procedure: Connect the master PLC to the subordinate PLC or PLCs via Suconet K.

To do this click the Line list box. The first time it is clicked the Line box will automatically show a 1, and the Station box a 0 (unaddressed slave). Choose File Save to save the connection list. Configuring a PLC for the first time via Suconet K In order to make it easier to program a new CPU such as a replacement for a failed device from the central programming system via Suconet K, new CPUs are factory set with the station number 0 (unaddressed slave). Make the necessary entries in the Device Name, Line and Station boxes, as described above, and save the connection list. Connect the new PLC to the network and transfer a small dummy program containing a topology configuration with the required final station number for the new PLC. For this read Section Transferring the program from Page 352.

Commissioning The station numbers in the connection list are updated automatically after a program has been transferred successfully and the user has confirmed the update. Save the connection list via File Save. The following method allows you to configure an entire, new network from a single programming device without loading the final user programs at this stage: Requirements: The master is already defined in the connection list. In addition, the programming device must already have program code with the required final topology configuration for each slave PLC. At this stage, the contents of the Program POUs which are used for program code generation can be small dummy programs which do not yet implement the assigned automation task. Connect the first slave PLC to the Suconet K network. Enter the temporary address 0 (unaddressed slave) in the connection list. Establish the connection between PC and PLC and transfer the dummy program with the associated topology configuration. Repeat the above steps for the remaining slave PLCs.

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

339

Test & Commissioning You can physically connect up the next slave controller as soon as the address of the previous slave station has been updated in the connection list. Another method is to use a standard direct programming cable to specify the required final Suconet K station address of each slave controller in advance. This is done by loading a program into each slave controller together with the associated topology configuration which specifies the required final station address before connecting the controller to the network. By using the master controller as a gateway between the programming cable and the Suconet K fieldbus, all programming and monitoring functions can be carried out as if each slave controller connected to the fieldbus is directly connected to the programming device. In addition, online services supported by the programming device are executed independently of data communications which may be taking place through the same Suconet K connection simultaneously. Programming performance The time response when programming through a master controller and Suconet K depends on the number of connected slave stations and the quantity of program data to be transferred. Accordingly, it is only possible to specify approximate values. If the master controller is currently in the Ready state, functions such as loading a user program and displaying status information from a slave are about 10 % slower than with a direct connection to the programming device; if the master controller is running a program (Run state), the functions are about 20 % slower than a direct connection.

Commissioning Transfer errors, when transferring to slave PLCs If the address of a station has changed during the transfer to a slave PLC, this may cause an error during the transfer. Example: Connect a network station on address 2 Download a program containing the station address changed to 4. After the transfer the PLC can no longer be addressed under address 2. In this case return to the connection list and make the connection using the new address.

Commissioning Wiring test Test the correct functioning of sensors and actuators (inputs and outputs) of your system by carrying out a wiring test. Start the wiring test via the Online Topology Configurator. The Online Topology Configurator reads from the PLC the topology configuration that was entered when the project was created and shows this in the Topology Configurator window. You can inspect the input and output values of the different modules, cards and devices, set the outputs of the PLC to defined states and thereby check the reaction of the system. Requirements: An operating system must have been loaded beforehand on the PLC (see Page 350). The PLC must be connected and must be provided with a valid configuration with the inputs and outputs to be tested. The topology configuration must have been compiled beforehand with a program POU. The contents of this POU is not important but is used to provide a loadable program code file. The load operation is described in the chapter Transferring the program from Page 352. The wiring test can only be carried out with the CPU in Halt, i.e. no program running. Activate the Connection List window in the main T & C window and then click the Topology button.

Starting or stopping the program without Sucosoft For PS4 controllers Depending on the position of the operating mode switch, the program will then start automatically as a cold start or warm start. When the operating mode selector switch is set to Run, pressing the Set button can trigger the startup behaviour set under Behaviour after NOT READY (PS4-200) or Startup Behaviour on Warm Start (PS4-300) in Generate Program Parameters... . For PS416 controllers You can only start a program without Sucosoft S40 (i.e. directly on the PLC) if you have assigned the attribute active to the program as the startup behaviour. Sucosoft always assigns this active attribute to the last transferred or last cold started program if this operation was carried out later. Depending on the position of the operating mode switch, the program will then start automatically as a cold start or warm start. If a memory card containing user programs has been inserted in the controller, the program startup behaviour when the controller is switched on is defined by the startup information which is stored on the memory card (see also Page 354). Booting the controller from the memory card For PS4-200 controllers The program saved on the memory card is transferred to the PLC if the PLC contains no program or a faulty one when the PLC is switched on or started.

The Program Status tab of the following Status and Diagnostics dialog shows the operating status of the CPU, program information and the buttons provided for starting and stopping a program. Program Status (PS4) Although the content of this dialog depends on the PLC concerned, the same functions apply for starting and stopping a program. These are therefore explained only using the example of PS4-300:

The user program is being processed in the CPU. This status is reached via a cold or warm start. The CPU is ready for operation but the user program is not being processed. A cold start or warm start can be started depending on the setting of the operating mode selector switch: a Cold start starts the user program with the initial values of the variables. Any process data that remains in the PLC after the user program was stopped is discarded. With a warm start the user program is resumed at the point where it was stopped. A fatal error has been detected. The diagnostics status word must be acknowledged so that the Warm Start and Cold Start buttons can be activated.

Program status Switch position Information This shows the current position of the CPU operating mode switch as follows: - RUN: A warm or cold start is possible. - RUN M-RESET: A cold start with marker reset is possible. - HALT: PLC cannot be switched to RUN. The current program execution parameters are shown as follows: PS4 Name of user program in the PLC The version number of the program as set in the Code Generation function under Generate Program Parameters... Code size: the size of the executable code of the PLC user program The size of the data area for the user program The date and time of the program generation Program execution type: cyclical with the maximum permissible cycle time after which the PLC switches to Halt or periodic with the selected time interval (PS4-300, PS416) Startup behaviour after NOT READY When the PLC is in Run status, this displays the current cycle time Displays the minimum and maximum cycle time (PS4-300, PS416) Forcing active or inactive (only PS4-300).

Program status Information

Buttons of the Program Depending on the CPU status, the position of the operating mode selector switch Status dialog and the chosen program startup behaviour, the following buttons may be available: Cold start With a cold start the user program is started with the initialisation values of the variables. A cold start is possible with the operating mode selector switch set to Run or Run_M_Reset. Any process data that remained in the PLC after the user program was stopped is discarded. Only PS4: The values of markers in the recipe marker range defined in the Code Generation tool under Generate Program Parameters... are retained following a cold start. Only PS416: When the program cold start takes place for the first time, the CPU is requested to start the user program which is marked as active. The status started is then displayed in the Program field.

Warm start

With a warm start the user program resumes at the point where it was stopped. A warm start is only possible if the operating mode selector switch is set to RUN and the user program must be in Halt status. The process data is saved if the program is interrupted, and is still available if the program is resumed. A warm start is only possible after an already started program has been stopped, i.e. by setting the operating mode selector switch to Halt and pressing the Set button or by clicking the Halt button. If the program was stopped by switching to Halt, the operating mode selector switch must be set to Run again before it can be warm started. This stops a running user program. Only PS416: Deletes a deactivated user program from the PLC memory.

System diagnostics Network diagnostics The Online Topology Configurator allows you to carry out network diagnostics in order to check the network status of your system. The network diagnostics function can be used for all Suconet K and AS Interfacelines. Several network lines can be diagnosed and displayed at the same time. For this a program with a topology configuration must be loaded on the PLC and the connection to the PLC must be established. The graphical display of the Topology Configurator now shows additional information which allows you to quickly assess the status of the network communications and provides status messages for each individual component. Unlike the PS4, the digital I/O cards of the PS416 are not addressed through the slot number. Accordingly, the digital I/O cards may have different slot numbers than those shown in the Topology Configurator, or they may in fact not be inserted in the controller at all. Requirements: A *.pcd file with the topology configuration to be tested must be provided in the PLC. The PLC must be connected. Activate the Connection List window in the main T & C window and then click the Topology button.

Test & Commissioning Program test Overview A program test can be carried out in Online mode with the POU Editor. This allows you to display a POU in IL, LD, FBD or ST and change it online. Requirements: The Test & Commissioning tool must be open. The PLC must be connected. A pcd file (a user program) has already been transferred to the PLC. In your programming device you have opened the project containing the POUs and the program code file (pcd file) of the user program to be tested. The CPU operating mode selector switch is in RUN or RUN_M_RESET position. The program must have been started. The program running in the controller can be checked and modified online, i.e. while the program is running. One POU can be displayed together with the changing values of the variables. In addition, selected variables from several POUs can be displayed in a Variables window. The POU Editor is used in Online mode for modifying POUs and for displaying the status of variables. If the program is to be edited online, the current project must first be selected in Sucosoft. Also, the contents of the individual POUs and the program code must match the program version in the controller. An active process must be running in the PLC.

Display/Change POU

The POU Editor only opens in Online mode with the selected POU active, i.e. in the foreground. This POU is also indicated by the entry online in the title bar, by a red editor icon and a modified editor window with the possibility of displaying variables. The Online menu and the relevant buttons for displaying variable states are available. If you have made a modification to the POU, the button for activating this change will also be made available. Other POUs that may be open in the POU offline Editor are placed in the background and can be accessed via the corresponding file card at the bottom of the editor window. These POUs can be further processed offline, however, only if the following conditions apply. When moving from offline to online mode or vice versa whilst a POU is being processed, a POU is always opened with the settings that were saved the last time the POU was processed. If, for example, you have created your instructions in ST for a POU and made your declarations in Syntax mode, the POU is also opened with these settings when switching to online mode.

The memory of the PS 4-200 can show a maximum of 255 bytes of status data. This means that one screen page can only show this number of bytes of status data. If more data can be shown this is indicated by ???. In this case, reduce the size of the window or scroll to reach an area with less data, so that less status data is requested and only the area required is shown. Displaying strings or time and data variables has a particularly large memory requirement. Choose Online Status Display again if you wish to abort the updating of the variable states. The previously shown states are frozen on the screen. Use this possibility for troubleshooting. In online mode you can also set bookmarks in the same way as in offline mode. For this position the cursor in the appropriate line and click the Set Bookmark button. The Status Display follows the jump from one bookmark to the next thus offering a simpler overview! Zoom window The Zoom window is a separate window of the status display in which you can show the states of complex variables You can also select variables in the instruction section and in the declaration section for displaying in the Zoom window. Unlike the Variables window display, you can only display variables of the currently active POU and cannot force any. Requirements: A textual language such as IL or ST must be selected.

Unlike the Zoom window, the Variables window allows you to show all project POUs, making the window ideal for troubleshooting tasks. You can thus use the Variables window to extend the variables of the POU shown online. You can also force variable values via the Variables window. Requirement: A POU must be opened in online mode, however, the Status Display function does not have to be active. Select the variables in the displayed program that you want to display in the Variables window.

Select a new POU from the structure tree in the Program window if you wish to check or modify another POU. Repeat the other steps. Forcing variable values With PS416 and PS4-300 controllers, you can assign a defined value to variables of elementary and complex data types while the controller is running (Run state). To do this first create a variable list as described earlier.

Figure 175: Variables window for PS4-300 and PS416

If you want to assign a particular value to a variable while the controller is running, this can be done in the Variables window in two different ways: static forcing and dynamic forcing.

398

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Program test Warning! Take care when you force the values of variables while the controller is running since you directly affect the control of the machine and can cause uncontrolled states. When you force a variable statically, the respective variable is assigned the required value at the beginning of the cycle (for inputs, symbolic variables and markers) or at the end of the cycle (for outputs) and the value is forced repeatedly each cycle until the forcing operation is cancelled again by the user. When a variable is forced dynamically, it is assigned a value once. This can, however, be changed again immediately by the user program. This means that sequences with these forced variables may not be necessarily executed with the forced value within a cycle. The timepoint of the forcing is the same as for static forcing, but in this case forcing takes place once only and not repeatedly. Variables which are assigned to physical inputs are forced with the specified value at the beginning of the next cycle, after the inputs have been read. In contrast, variables which are assigned to physical outputs are forced with the specified value at the end of the cycle. You can also transfer Variables of complex data types such as Array or Structure variables to the Variables window in the same way as described above (see Fig. 177 on Page 401). Data structure content will be displayed in a tree, in the same way as in a separate window of the status display. Specific structure elements can be viewed by opening the structure or hidden by closing it.

Choose Options Save Settings On Exit to get the variable list which you last created the next time you start the Test and Commissioning tool. Online modifications cannot be made while variables in the controller are being forced. Do not change offline parts of a program in which variables are forced, since the Variables window can then no longer be displayed. If you have made an online modification, a warning message will appear if you try to open the Variables window. In this case, the only way to clear the forcing is to deactivate the active process in the controller or to transfer the program to the controller again. Inputs and markers are forced with the specified value at the beginning of the cycle. Accordingly, the value of the variable can become changed by the user program during the cycle even with statically forced variables. Outputs are forced with the specified value at the end of the cycle. If you connect to a controller which has forced variables, you will get the following warning:

The activated online POU is switched to offline for further processing. Alternatively, you can close the online POU directly in the POU Editor. In order switch from the POU Editor to a different T & C window you must first move to the main T & C window. Configuring the AS-Interfacenetwork online This step is carried out with the Topology Configurator online. This enables you to configure an AS-Interfacenetwork simply. For this the PLC must be connected, must be provided with a valid basic configuration, and the CPU must be in Halt status. Activate the Connection List window in the main T & C window and then click the Topology button. With an AS-Interfacenetwork a complete offline configuration is not necessarily required. Simply a basic configuration is required that contains an AS-Interfacemaster device. Sucosoft uses this basic dummy configuration to automatically detect online all active slaves on the AS-Interfacenetwork. Structure of the example configuration Below is a configuration which was read from a controller. It consists of a master (PS4-201-MM1), an LE slave (LE4-501-BS1) and an AS-Interfaceline that is managed by the AS-Interfacemaster module (LE4-505-BS1).

Program test Procedure Compared to offline configuration, online configuration saves time in the following two cases: You want to create a topology configuration for an ASI line which is already configured, or you want to extend an existing actual configuration. The starting point in both cases is the so-called actual configuration - the configuration currently stored in the PLC. This can be a basic configuration with an expandable PS4 controller and an AS-Interfacemaster module LE4-505-BS1 or a functioning actual configuration which you want to extend. The basic configuration can be created in the normal way with PLC disconnected using the Topology Configurator. First compile the basic configuration with any (dummy) PLC program in the Code Generation tool and transfer it to the PLC. If all slaves on the AS-Interfaceline are addressed already, you can read in directly the new configuration in Configuration mode and save it. The new stored configuration is then used as the new permanent configuration in the Code Generation tool and transferred to the PLC together with the program after recompiling. It is transferred from the PLC to the AS-Interfacemaster. The new permanent configuration is needed by the PLC in RUN mode and for network diagnostics, and ensures that all inputs and outputs of the AS-Interfacedevices can be accessed.

Test & Commissioning Reading the actual configuration Requirements: The PS4 controller must be connected and the Test and Commissioning tool must be started. A topology which includes the AS-Interface master is already stored in the PLC. The PLC is in HALT mode.

Figure 179: Configuration mode of an AS-Interface network

You cannot display online diagnostics information for individual modules when the AS-i master is in Configuration mode. The AS-Interfacemaster reads the actual configuration cyclically and identifies the AS-i slave types from the combination of I/O code and ID code. Since this combination is not unique, all slaves are shown in Configuration mode as generic symbols together with the number of inputs and outputs. If the AS-Interfaceline contains slaves which have previously been assigned an AS-Interfaceaddress with a PG2-105-AD1 addressing device, they are shown correctly in the configuration.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Only one non-configured slave with a default address 0 must be connected, since otherwise an address conflict will occur.

407

Test & Commissioning If communication to one of the slaves is interrupted, the device is automatically removed from the online display. Analogously, a pre-addressed slave appears in the online display shortly after it is connected to the AS-Interface line provided that no address conflicts with other slaves are present. If a newly connected slave still has the default standard address 0, the required address and other parameters can be configured afterwards online. When the actual configuration has been modified as required, it should be stored on disk as the new permanent configuration and transferred to the PLC after recompiling the program with the Code Generation tool. Saving the actual configuration Requirements: The actual topology configuration with the configured AS-Interfaceline is opened in the Online Topology Configurator window. Choose Configuration Save As... in the menu. Specify a directory in which you wish to save the actual configuration and enter the required filename for the topology configuration in the Filename field. The file is saved with the filename extension .DCF as the new permanent configuration for the current project.

You are automatically prompted with the next unused AS-i address in the New pop-up list in the Station number panel. If required, you can choose another address for the new station. The Configured Values section shows parameters for the specified station number from the stored (permanent) configuration. The Current Values section shows the current parameters for the specified station number which have been read online from the PLC. The slave will now be configured with the parameters you entered and will be shown at the corresponding place in the graphical display of the AS-Interface line. The slave parameters you have stored with the new configuration are only effective after recompiling the program in the Code Generation tool and transferring it to the PLC.

Program test The AS-Interfacemaster LE4-505-BS1 parameters are automatically transferred from the configuration currently stored in the PLC. Select the other slaves in turn and set the parameters using the same procedure. Close the dialog with Exit when you are finished. Save the completed actual configuration as the new permanent configuration. Using the new permanent configuration In order to commission the PLC and start the communication on the AS-Interface line, you must recompile the program with the new permanent configuration using the Code Generation tool and transfer it to the PLC. ASI parameters can only be changed while the PLC is in Run mode by using the ASI_PARAM function block. This function block is described in the manual AWB27-1314 GB, which describes the AS-Interfacemaster LE4-505-BS1. Communication in the AS-Interface line starts when the PLC changes from Ready to Run mode. In Run mode, the master LE 4-505-BS1 will automatically switch to Protected mode. The AS-i master status can be displayed in Run and Ready modes as follows: Select the AS-Interfacemaster in the Online Topology Configuration window.

Test & Commissioning If more AS-i slaves are connected to the AS-Interface line than are specified in the permanent configuration, the additional slaves are not shown in the online topology. In this case, data communication is still possible to the devices which are correctly specified in the permanent configuration. However, the master will report a configuration error. If the program is started by changing the PLC mode from Stop to Run using the Test & Commissioning Tool, the AS-Interfacemaster will only switch to protected mode automatically if no AS-i devices with the default address 0 are attached the line. If a device is present with a default address 0, the PLC must be stopped and the slave disconnected. Alternatively, the correct AS-Interface address for the slave must be assigned in the current configuration in the Test & Commissioning tool by choosing Component AS-i Slave Status in the menu. In contrast to the PLC mode change from Stop/ Run, the AS-i master will switch to protected mode if the system is switched off and on again even if a slave is present with a default address of 0.

Modem operation

Modem requirements Approved for connection to the public telephone network in your country or region, compatible with Hayes AT commands, suitable for asynchronous data communications Memory for a modem configuration. Parameter settings: 8 Data, No Parity, 1 Stop (8N1)

Frequently asked questions and problems relating to modems Dialing is not functioning and the modem is not accepting any AT commands. Make sure that the modem is switched on, modem and PC are connected via a cable, the modem is plugged in to the telephone socket. Make sure that the serial interface (COM Port) set in Sucosoft is the same as the one to which the modem is connected. Make sure that the speed set in Sucosoft is within the range in which the modem can automatically detect the baud rate. Make sure that no other program e.g. a FAX software is using the same interface.
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Make sure that the modem connection cable is not faulty, and that the connection pin assignment is correct. Check this using another communication software.

417

Appendix Dialing is interrupted before dialing is finished. Make sure that Timeout in s (the max. time for establishing the connection) is long enough. It is configured in Sucosoft under Interface Parameters. If the modem is connected to a private telephone exchange, check whether the telephone extension is authorised to make the required connection (e. g. authorised for international or long distance calls). Make sure that you have entered the modem telephone number in the correct format: <country code> (<area code>) telephone number. The telephone number you specify can contain hyphens, spaces and periods. The modem does not recognise the dial tone. After each dialing attempt, the modem returns the message NO DIAL TONE: In this case, your modem is probably connected to a private telephone exchange (PBX). Most PBXs require a prefix digit (e.g. 0) to get an outside line. In this case, your dialing sequence should be ATDT0W<number> for tone dialing or ATDP0W<number> for pulse dialing. Ensure that the modem waits for the dial tone before dialing. For this use the W parameter in the dial string. Example: ATDT 0W <Nummer> This dial tone is not present with connections within a private telephone exchange (PBX). In this case use ATX3DT<Number> or ATX3DP <Number>. After every dialing attempt the modem returns the message DELAYED CALL or DIAL LOCKED appears. In some countries and depending on the modem settings, in order to protect the telephone network from overloading, the modem blocks redial attempts for a specified period (typically between 30 and 60 seconds) following each unsuccessful dialing 418

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Modem operation attempt (e.g. if the party you are dialing is currently busy). The modem does not accept any redial attempts for this period. Furthermore, depending on the country and modem settings, the modem may block redial attempts for two to six hours following 12 unsuccessful attempts to dial. The modem will not dial at all for this period. International calls disabled If the modem is connected to a PBX, make sure that the telephone extension is authorised to make international or long distance telephone calls. The modem is connected to a telephone extension and returns busy although the extension is not busy and the party you are dialing is not engaged. In some cases, the modem incorrectly interprets the internal dial tone of the PBX as an engaged tone. In this case, disable busy tone detection for your modem with the command ATX0. The connection to the other modem does not function at all or does not function correctly. Make sure that the settings for data bits, parity, stop bits and baud rate are the same as those of the remote modem.

Please note the following when using the cable ZB4-303-KB1 for the PS4 series and/or the cable PS416-ZBK-210 for the PS 416 series: Use a 9-pin 1:1 adapter between PRG socket and the cable. The RxD and TxD lines must be crossed over in this adapter or in a further adapter. In addition, with cable PS 416-ZBK-210, you must also interconnect (bridge) the lines RTS/CTS and the lines DTR, DSR and DCD. For the PS 416 series controllers, you can generally use the cable supplied with the modem together with an adapter. Since standard modem cables do not interconnect the lines RTS/CTS and DTR, DSR and DCD, it is essential to issue the modem AT command settings which disable modem flow control.

Using several PS416-CPUs Using several PS416-CPUs By using several PS416-CPUs (Multi-processing) in one rack, the PS416-CPU can be used as a platform for additional technology applications. In this way, for example, a CPU can control the process whilst at the same time another CPU handles complex closed-loop control or positioning tasks. This ensures a faster and more efficient execution of the process. The data exchange between the CPU cards is organised by the CPUDataExchange function block. When several CPUs are used, the multi-drop connection is recommended (see Page 315).

Configuring a PS416 system The controller CPU or master CPU is fitted in slot 2/3. Additional technology cards or slave CPUs are fitted in slots 4/5, 6/7, 8/9 etc. This slot assignment must be observed. The CPU cards must be fitted in the rack without any gaps. Before commissioning carry out a current requirements calculation for all the cards fitted in the rack in order to ensure that the power supply unit is not overloaded. The current requirements of each card are provided in the relevant manual.

Appendix Assigning local inputs and outputs Word processing cards, such as analog input/output cards, counter cards and network cards can be addressed exclusively and controlled by the master CPU. The local (central) digital I/O can either be addressed by the master or by the slave CPU on slots 4/5. The allocation of CPU access to the local digital I/O is defined in the topology configuration created in Sucosoft S40 for every PLC. If the master CPU has access to the local digital I/O, the following configuration variations are possible:

Appendix Addressing remote I/O via Suconet K Both the master CPU and the slave CPU can be connected to a Suconet K line via the on-board SBI interface and can thus access the remote I/O independently of each other.

Programming master and slave CPU Master and slave CPUs are programmed separately. Their programs run asynchronously to each other. If a master CPU or slave CPU switches to Ready, this has no effect on other CPUs. The data between the master and slave CPUs is exchanged via a special memory module which is programmed with the CPUDataExchange function block. In this data exchange, one side writes a defined data range whilst the other side reads it. One master CPU must always be present for the data exchange. Data exchange between slave CPUs is not possible. The data exchange is not synchronised so that a handshake procedure for the exchange must be written in the program. An application example of the CPUDataExchange function block is provided in the function block description in the manual AWB2700-1306-GB Sucosoft S40, Language Elements.

Glossary Glossary

Array

Variable consisting of several data elements of the same data type. Derived data type that is declared with the Keyword ARRAY. Unlike a structure, the individual elements of an array are addressed by an integer index (subscript), that can also be calculated whilst the application is running.

ARRAY

Keyword for declaring an Array.

AT

Keyword for declaring Directly represented variables (e.g.: Start AT %I0.0.0.1.2 : BOOL;).

Constant

Value that is directly defined and processed during program execution without being assigned to an identifier (e.g.: LD 100).

CONSTANT

Keyword for declaring a data element with a data content that cannot be changed. Can be used in conjunction with local and global variables (e.g.: VAR_GLOBAL CONSTANT).

Current result
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Result of an operation. Corresponds to the contents of the working register.

Default value

Value that is automatically assigned a variable at the start of the program if no explicit initialisation is specified. 431

Appendix Derived data types Manufacturer and user-defined data types that are derived from Elementary Data Types and are assigned a new name. They are declared between the Keywords TYPE ... END_TYPE (e.g. structures, arrays).

Directly represented variable

Variable for representing a physical PLC address. Is identified in the declaration with the Keyword AT (e.g.: Start AT %I0.0.0.1.2 : BOOL;).

Elementary data types

Predefined data types identified by Keywords (e.g.: INT, BOOL, WORD).

Function

Program organisation unit, that can be used for recurring control task elements. A function can process several input parameters. Only one return value is supplied as a result. A function is a POU without a memory, i.e. the status values of the last call are not retained. A function therefore always supplies identical return values if the same input values are used.

Function block

Program organisation unit, that can be used for recurring control task elements. A function block can process several input parameters and supply several output values as a result. The processed values are saved by the function block until the next call.

432

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Glossary Global variable Variable, that is declared in the Program POU as VAR_GLOBAL and is available in all function blocks called in this POU. It must be declared in the function blocks that use this global variable as VAR_EXTERNAL.

Identifier

The name of a variable, data type, POU or jump label.

Initialisation value

Status value automatically assumed by a variable when the PLC is started. Variables can be initialised in the declaration section of a POU (e.g.: Value:INT:=100;).

Input variable

Variable for transferring a value to functions or function blocks. It is declared between the Keywords VAR_INPUT ... END_VAR.

Input/output variable

Variable that is read in a function block, processed, and output under the same name; also known as a passing parameter. The change of an input/output variable value in a function block automatically affects the variable of the invoking POU assigned to the Input/Output variable. Input/Output variables are declared in the function blocks between the Keywords VAR_IN_OUT ... END_VAR.

Instance
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Use of a function block in a program or a function block. The creation of an instance reserves a data range for processing the function block. Several instances of a function block can be defined. Each instance is then assigned its own data range.

433

Appendix Keyword Unique combinations of characters (LD, CAL, VAR_GLOBAL, ...) that have a special, predefined meaning in a programming language and can only be used for this purpose. The meaning of a keyword cannot therefore be changed by a user definition.

Local variables

Variable which is only valid within the POU in which it was declared between the Keywords VAR ... END_VAR. This type of variable is not accessible outside of the POU and cannot therefore be overwritten accidentally.

Modem

Word formed from MOdulator and DEModulator. A modem modulates the digital signals from a computer converting them into analog signals for transmission over the telephone line. A modem also demodulates the analog signals received along the telephone line, converting them into digital signals. In the case of data transmission over the digital telephone network so-called ISDN terminal adapters are used instead of analog modems.

Output variable

Variable declared in the function block between the

Keywords VAR_OUTPUT ... END_VAR. The output

variable is the return value of the function block. The value can be processed by other POUs.

POU

Program Organisation Unit

07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Program

Higher-order structure level. The Program program organisation unit defines the starting point of the PLC application. Instructions can be executed within the program, or branches made to functions and function blocks.

434

Glossary Program organisation unit (POU) Self-contained program section for structuring an application. There are three types of POU: Program, Function and Function block. Consists of a declaration section and an instruction section.

RETAIN

Keyword for declaring a Retentive variable

Retentive variable

Local or global variables that retain their status value in the event of a restart after a voltage failure. The declaration of a retentive variable uses the Keyword VAR or VAR_GLOBAL with the Keyword RETAIN (e.g.: VAR_GLOBAL RETAIN).

TYPE

Keyword for declaring derived data types.

VAR

Keyword for declaring local variables.

VAR_EXTERNAL

Keyword for declaring external variables. Is used for declaring Global Variables within a function block.

VAR_GLOBAL

Keyword for declaring Global variables.

VAR_INPUT
07/01 AWB2700-1305-GB

Keyword for declaring Input variables.

VAR_IN_OUT

Keyword for declaring Input/output variables.

VAR_OUTPUT

Keyword for declaring Output variables.

435

Appendix Variable A data element of a specific data type for which the appropriate memory is reserved. A variable is addressed by its name ( Identifier). It is declared and possibly initialised in the declaration section of a POU.

Variable initialisation

Specification of an initial value of a variable in its declaration.

Variables declaration

In the variables declaration a data element is assigned a name, a data type and possibly a physical address and an initialisation value. If the variables have no explicitly assigned initialisation values, the Default value is used. The variable declaration is made in the declaration section of a POU.

Working register

Register in the central unit of a PLC. This saves the results of arithmetic, logical and I/O operations.
