2.2.2

Setting the PG/PC Interface

You configure the communication between the PG/PC and the PLC with the
settings entered here. During installation, a dialog box is displayed for setting the
PG/PC interface. You can also open this dialog box after installation, by calling the
program "Setting PG/PC Interface" in the PRODAVE MPI/IE V6.0 program group.
This enables you to modify the interface parameters at a later time, independently
of the installation.

Basic Procedure

To operate an interface, you will require the following:

Configurations in the operating system

A suitable interface configuration

If you are using a PC with an MPI card or communications processors (CP), you
should check the interrupt and address assignments in the Windows "Control
Panel" to ensure that there are no interrupt conflicts and that no address areas
overlap.

In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the ISA component MPI-ISA card is no longer
supported and therefore no longer offered for installation.

In order to make it easier to assign parameters to the programming device/PC
interface, a dialog box will display a selection list of default basic parameter sets
(interface configurations).

Assigning Parameters to the PG/PC Interface

Procedure (details to be found in the Online Help):

Double-click on "Setting PG/PC Interface" in the "Control Panel" of Windows.

1. Set the "Access Point of Application" to "S7ONLINE."

2. In the list "Interface parameter set used", select the required interface

parameter set. If the required interface parameter set is not displayed, you
must first install a module or protocol via the "Select" button. The interface
parameter set is then generated automatically. On plug-and-play systems, you
cannot install plug and play CPs manually (CP 5611 and CP 5511). They are
integrated automatically in "Setting PG/PC Interface" after you have installed
the hardware in your PG/PC.

-

If you select an interface with automatic bus parameter recognition (e.
g. CP 5611 (Auto)), then you can connect the PG and/or the PC to MPI
and/or PROFIBUS without having to set bus parameters. If the
transmission rate is < 187.5 Kbps, there may be a delay of up to one
minute while the bus parameters are read.
Requirement for automatic recognition: Masters who broadcast bus
parameters cyclically are connected to the bus. All new MPI components
do this; for PROFIBUS subnets the cyclic broadcast of bus parameters
must be enabled (default PROFIBUS network setting).

-

If you select an interface which does not automatically recognize the
bus parameters
, you can display the properties and adapt them to match
the subnet.

Changes will also be necessary if conflicts with other settings arise (for example,
interrupt or address assignments). In this case, make the appropriate changes with
the hardware recognition and Control Panel in Windows (see below).

!

Caution

Do not remove any "TCP/IP" parameters from your interface configuration.

This could cause malfunctioning of other applications.

Checking the Interrupt and Address Assignments

If you use a PC with an MPI card, you should always check whether the default
interrupt and the default address area are free and, if necessary select a free
interrupt and/or address area.

Windows 2000

In Windows 2000 you can have the resources displayed

with Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management >
System > System Information > Hardware Resources.

with Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management >
System > Device Manager > SIMATIC NET > CP-Name > Properties>
Resources
you can change the resources.

Functions

All the functions listed are described from the PRODAVE MPI/IE V6.0 user view.
Nevertheless, you must also add the WINAPI call convention / load tool to each
function.

int WINAPI load_tool (char chConNo, …).

The old PRODAVE MPI 5.6 Libraries (W95_S7.DLL, KOMFORT.DLL) and the new
PRODAVE MPI/IE V6.0 Library (PRODAVE6.LIB) can be used parallel in a user
program.

You can continue to use old Prodave V5.6 programs. It is not, however, possible to
interlace the two versions, i.e. it is not possible to create a connection to the AS
with an old function and then to read data with a new function and vice versa. The
connection and the reading or writing of the data must take place homogeneously,
with the same Prodave Version.

3.1 Basic

Functions

3.1.1 LoadConnection_ex6

The basic LoadConnection_ex6 function initializes the adapter, checks if the
driver is loaded, initializes the addresses that have been assigned parameters and
activates the selected interface.

LoadConnection_ex6 is used to set up a transport connection via MPI/PB- or IP
addresses (TCP/IP protocol)

int LoadConnection_ex6 (int ConNr, char* pAccessPoint, int ConTableLen,
CON_TABLE_TYPE * pConTable
);

Parameters

ConNr

[in] Number of the connection (max. 64 connections).

pAccessPoint

[in] access point (zero-terminated) of the driver used, e.g. "S7ONLINE" for the MPI
driver or 0 (default).

ConTableLen

[in] length of the table of connections provided by the user in bytes

pConTable

[in] pointer to address list of connected users; ‘Adr ==0’ is taken as the end mark of
the list.

Return Values

If there were no errors, the function supplies 0 as the return value.

If an error occurs, the error number is returned; this can be evaluated in
accordance with the error table (see GetErrorMessage_ex6).

After eliminating the cause of the error LoadConnection_ex6 has to be executed
again in order to create a connection to the AS.

Call example

A new entry in the connection table is prepared for each connection.

unsigned short ConNr= 0;

// First connection
(0 ... 63)

char AccessPoint[] = {"S7ONLINE"};

// Default access point
S7ONLINE

CON_TABLE_TYPE

// Pointer on connection table

unsigned short ConTableLen = sizeof(ConTable);

// Length of the connection

int RetValue;

pConTable[ConNo].Adr.Ip[0] = 192;

// Default IP address
(192.168.0.1)

pConTable[ConNo].Adr.Ip[1] = 168;

pConTable[ConNo].Adr.Ip[2] = 0;

pConTable[ConNo].Adr.Ip[3] = 1;

pConTable[ConNo].AdrType = 2;

// Address type = IP

pConTable[ConNo].SlotNr = 2;

// Slot number = 2

pConTable[ConNo].RackNr = 0;

// Rack number = 0

RetValue = LoadConnection_ex6 (ConNr, &AccessPoint, ConTableLen,
pConTable);

If connection errors take place during operation, you must close the connection
and reload it.

, unsigned long * pAmount, unsigned long BufLen, unsigned
char * pReadBuffer
, unsigned long * pDatLen)

Parameters

BlkNr

[in] Number of the data block

DatType

[in] Type of data to be read:

0x02 = BYTE, 0x04 = WORD, 0x06 = DWORD default: DatType = 0x02

StartNo

[in] Start number of the first byte or data word / double word to be read

pAmount

[in/out] Amount of data bytes / data words/ data double words to be read

// double word-by-word access

Attention!

When accessing a data block the data words in the buffer are not filed according
to Intel notation (low byte - high byte), but in STEP5 Notation (high byte – low
byte). If the data are to be further processed, attention must be paid to this. The
kf_2_integer_ex6, kf_2_long_ex6 and swab_buffer_ex6 functions are available
for swapping bytes.

in order to gain specific information about the status of the CPU.

int read_diag_buf_ex6 (unsigned long BufLen, unsigned char * pDiagBuffer,
unsigned long * pDatLen
);

Parameters

BufLen

[in] Length of the transfer buffer specified by the user in bytes

pDiagBuffer

[out] Pointer on transfer buffer for read data

pDatLen

[out] Pointer on length of data delivered to the buffer in bytes. In event of error,
"Transfer buffer supplied too small for data" is returned and required buffer size

If there were no errors, the function supplies 0 as the return value, otherwise an
error message is given which can be evaluated in accordance with the error table
(see GetErrorMessage_ex6).

Notes

The maximum deliverable number of available queries can be dependent on
operating mode (product-specific definition). For example, a CPU can only return
all information when in STOP operating mode.

In RUN operating mode, only a product-specific subset can be returned.

3.3 Convenience

Functions

3.3.1 GetErrorMessage_ex6

The function GetErrorMessage_ex6 returns the error text corresponding to an
error number as a zero-terminated character string.

int GetErrorMessage_ex6 (int ErrorNr, unsigned long BufLen, unsigned char
* pBuffer
);

Parameters

ErrorNr

[in] Fehlernummer

BufLen

[in] Length of the transfer buffer specified by the user in bytes

pBuffer

[out] Pointer on transfer buffer with error texts

Return Values

If there were no errors, the function supplies 0 as the return value, otherwise the
function returns one of the following values:

File ERROR.DAT is not available or cannot be opened.

1. Error when reading the file ERROR.DAT

2. File ERROR.DAT has the wrong format.

3. No error text available for this error number.

4. Too many error texts in file ERROR.DAT.

A5E00388168-01

Call examples

int ErrorNr = 0x303;

// Block boundary exceeded, correct
the number

unsigned char Buffer[MAX_BUFFER];

// Transfer buffer for error text

unsigned long BufLen = sizeof(Buffer);

// Buffer length

unsigned char *pBuffer = Buffer;

// Transfer buffer address

int RetValue;

RetValue = GetErrorMessage_ex6 (ErrorNr, BufLen, pBuffer);

ERROR.DAT should not contain more than 512 error texts. The error text may not
exceed 200 characters.

When transferring the error number 0 the file name in "Buffer" may contain the
error text file to be transferred (e.g. an English or German language error text file).
If no valid file name is available or a NULL (ZERO) pointer is transferred, the
ERROR.DAT file in the current directory will be read. For this reason, it should be
ensured that the ERROR.DAT file exists and is placed in the same directory as the
program.

The ERROR.DAT file will be read when function GetErrorMessage_ex6 is called
for the first time and the text will be stored in a field.

It is recommended to call function GetErrorMessage_ex6 with error_no = 0 shortly
after the program begins in order to load the ERROR.DAT file. This ensures that
execution times for subsequent calls to the function are more or less constant.

Structure of the error text file

Bit Memory (M)

A memory area in the system memory of a SIMATIC S7 CPU. This area can be
accessed using write or read access (bit, byte, word, and double word). The bit
memory area can be used by the user to store interim results.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The CPU is the central module in the programmable control system in which the
user program is stored and processed. It consists of an operating system,
processing unit, and communication interfaces.

Data Block (DB)

Data blocks are blocks which contain data and parameters with which the user
program works. In contrast to all other types of blocks, they contain no logic
instructions.

ERROR SEARCH Mode

This is an operating state of the standby CPU in an H system where the CPU
executes a complete self-test. At the same time, the master CPU is in RUN mode.

Function (FC)

According to the International Electrotechnical Commission's IEC 1131-3 standard,
functions are logic blocks without static data. A function allows you to pass
parameters in the user program, which means they are suitable for programming
complex functions that are required frequently, for example, calculations. Note: As
there is no memory available, the calculated values must be processed
immediately following the FC call.

Function Block (FB)

According to the International Electrotechnical Commission's IEC 1131-3 standard,
function blocks are logic blocks that reference an instance data block, meaning
they have static data. As function blocks have a 'memory' in the form of the
associated instance data block, its parameters (outputs, for example) can be
accessed at any time and any point in the user program.

HOLD Mode

The HOLD state is reached from the RUN mode via a request from the
programming device. Special test functions are possible in this mode.

Logic Block

In SIMATIC S7, a logic block is a block that contains part of the STEP 7 user
program. The other type of block is a data block which contains only data. Logic
blocks are: Organization blocks (OB), function blocks (FB), functions (FC), system
function blocks (SFB) and system functions (SFC).

Multi Point Interface (MPI)

The multipoint interface is the programming device interface in SIMATIC S7/M7. It
allows a number of programmable modules, text displays, and operator panels to
be accessed from a central point.

The nodes on the MPI can communicate with each other.

Offline

When offline, no data link between the programming device and the programmable
logic controller exists.

Online

When online, a data link between the programming device and the programmable
logic controller exists.

Organization Block (OB)

Organization blocks form the interface between the S7 CPU operating system and
the user program. The sequence in which the user program should be processed is
laid down in the organization blocks.

PLC (AS)

A PLC is a programmable logic controller which consists of a central rack, a CPU,
and other I/O modules.

Point-to-Point Interface (PPI)

For the Point-to-Point interface, the communication processor is the interface
between a programmable logic controller and a communication partner.

Programming Device (PG)

Personal computer in special industry-suitable and compact form. A PG is
completely equipped to configure SIMATIC automation systems.

RUN Mode

In the RUN state the user program is processed and the process image is updated
cyclically. In addition, all digital outputs are enabled.

STARTUP Mode

The CPU goes through the STARTUP state during the transition from the STOP
mode to the RUN mode. This mode can be set:

By using the mode selector

Following power-on

By an operation on the programming device.

A distinction is made between the STARTUP types cold restart, warm restart, and
hot restart.

STOP Mode

The following events place the CPU in the STOP state:

Moving the mode selector to the STOP position

An internal error in the CPU

An operation on the programming device

All modules are switched to a safe state.

In S7: The user program is not processed in STOP mode. Certain programming
functions and operator interface functions are, however, possible.

In M7: User programs can still be processed in STOP mode

System Data Block (SDB)

System data blocks are data areas in the CPU which contain the system settings
and module parameters. The system data blocks are generated and modified by
the STEP 7 Basic software.

System Function (SFC)

A system function (SFC) is a function integrated in the S7 CPU operating system
which can be called like a function in the user program when required.

System Function Block (SFB)

A system function block (SFB) is a function block integrated in the S7 CPU
operating system which can be called like a function block in the user program
when required.

UPDATE Mode

The standby CPU of an H system reaches the UPDATE state when the H system
is in the update system mode. The master CPU updates the dynamic data of the
standby CPU
