Requirements for the S7-200 CPU:

l

Set the address of the S7-200 CPU. Put the data to be sent into the relevant Send buffer or get the received data from the Receive buffer. You define the Send and Receive buffers in STEP 7 when parameterizing the system functions SFC67 "X_PUT" and SFC68 "X_GET". Refer to the notes on networking CPUs in the S7-200 system manual in Entry ID: 1109582.

Reading data from the S7-200 CPU with the system function SFC67 "X_GET" You use the system function SFC67 "X_GET" for reading data from the S7-200 CPU. You call this in the OB1 of the S7-300 / S7-400, for example. In this example, 10 bytes are read as from address 10 from the variable area of the S7-200 CPU. The 10 bytes of data received are stored in data block DB10 as from address 10 in the S7-300/S7-400. The following table gives an overview of the input parameters of the system function SFC67 "X_GET".

Input parameter REQ

Variable M0.1

Description The input parameter REQ (request to activate) is a level-triggered control parameter. A positive level at M0.1 of the S7-300 / S7400 starts reading of the data from the S7200. The input parameter CONT (continue) is a control parameter that determines whether or not the connection to the communication partner remains established upon completion of the job. CONT=0: connection is cleared down after completion of data transfer. CONT=1: connection remains established after completion of data transfer.

CONT

FALSE

DEST_ID VAR_ADDR

W#16#4 P#DB1.DBX 10.0 BYTE 10

MPI address of the S7-200 CPU Reference to the area to be read in the partner CPU. 10 bytes of data are read as from address 10 from the variable area (VB) of the S7200.

The following table gives an overview of the output parameters of the system function SFC67 "X_GET". Output parameter Variable RET_VAL MW 2 Description If an error occurs during processing of the function, the return value includes the relevant error code. If no error occurs, the RET_VAL contains the length of data block copied into the receive area RD as a positive number in bytes. BUSY M12.1 BUSY=1: The receive procedure has not yet finished. BUSY=0: The receive procedure has been completed or no receive procedure is active. Reference to the receive data area. The following data types are permitted: BOOL, BYTE, WORD, DWORD, and arrays of these data types except BOOL. The receive area RD must be at least as long as the read area VAR_ADDR of the communication partner. In addition, the data types of RD and VAR_ADDR must match.

P#DB10.DBX 10.0 BYTE 10

Writing data to the S7-200 CPU with the system function SFC68 "X_PUT" You use the system function SFC68 "X_PUT" for writing data to the S7-200 CPU. You call this in the OB1 of the S7-300 / S7-400, for example. In this example, 10 bytes are written as from address 10 to the variable area of the S7-200 CPU. The

10 bytes of data sent are stored in data block DB10 as from address 20 in the S7-300/S7-400. The following table gives an overview of the input parameters of the system function SFC68 "X_PUT". Input parameter REQ Variable M100.1 Description The input parameter REQ (request to activate) is a level-triggered control parameter. A positive level at M100.1 of the S7-300 / S7-400 starts writing of the data to the S7200. The input parameter CONT (continue) is a control parameter that determines whether or not the connection to the communication partner remains established upon completion of the job. CONT=0: connection is cleared down after completion of data transfer. CONT=1: connection remains established after completion of data transfer. MPI address of the S7-200 CPU Reference to the area to be written to in the partner CPU. 10 bytes of data are written as from address 20 to the variable area (VB) of the S7-200.

DEST_ID VAR_ADDR

W#16#4 P#DB1.DBX 20.0 BYTE 10

The following table gives an overview of the output parameters of the system function SFC68 "X_PUT". Output parameter SD Variable P#DB10.DBX 20.0 BYTE 10 Description Reference to the area in your own CPU that contains the data to be sent. The following data types are permitted: BOOL, BYTE, WORD, DWORD, and arrays of these data types except BOOL. SD must have the same length as the VAR_ADDR parameter of the communication partner. In addition, the data types of SD and VAR_ADDR must match. If an error occurs during processing of the function, the return value includes the relevant error code. BUSY=1: The send procedure has not yet finished. BUSY=0: The send procedure has been completed or no send procedure is active.

More information on the system functions SFC67 "X_GET" and SFC68 "X_PUT" is available in Entry ID: 1214574. A sample program for parameterizing the system functions SFC67 "X_GET" and SFC68 "X_PUT" is attached for downloading.

The sample program is a STEP 7 project that contains the complete hardware configuration including the user program of an S7-300 station. The STEP 7 project is available for downloading as a ZIP file. Extract the "S7_basic_communication.zip" file into a separate directory. The STEP 7 project is unpacked automatically with all its subdirectories. You can then use the SIMATIC Manager to open and process the extracted STEP 7 project.

S7_basic_communication.zip ( 412 KB ) Note: Set the S7-300/S7-400 control to STOP mode before loading the block that calls the system functions SFC67 "X_GET" and SFC68 "X_PUT" into the controller. This ensures that the system functions SFC67 "X_GET" and SFC68 "X_PUT" are initialized in any case and the data is transferred. If you need faster data transmission, use PROFIBUS DP instead of S7 basic communication via MPI. PROFIBUS DP is not connection-oriented communication. If you use PROFIBUS DP, then you need a PROFIBUS expansion module EM 277 in the S7-200. Detailed information on the expansion module EM 277 is available in the S7-200 system manual in Entry ID 1109582. Entry ID:23586365 Date:2009-10-21 as helpful I regard this article.... Copy link
