Data transfer via I/O accesses
To transfer low data quantities: up to max. 128 bytes
Appropriate function blocks are available for each data transfer direction
and for each data type to be transferred.

Data types and the associated commands/blocks for peripheral accesses
The 8-bit CFC data type “BOOL“ is represented in the SIMATIC S7-CPU
as “
BYTE
“ data type. This means that the SIMATIC S7 user must
appropriately set or evaluate the decisive MSB (

B
it):
•
S7-CPU: bit variable
•
FM 458: 1XXX XXXX = TRUE
0XXX XXXX = FALSE
In order to achieve high processing speeds with 32-bit accesses, the
following must be ensured by appropriately configuring the FM 458/CFC
(offset, refer below) as well as programming the SIMATIC-CPU, so that
•
16-bit values (INT/WORD data types)
are saved at even addresses (word limits) and
•
32-bit values (REAL, DINT data types)
at addresses which are divisible by 4 (double word limits)
are saved in the two P-bus memories which are 128 bytes large.
The FM 458 side is accessed using the S7RD/S7WR blocks, at which the
offset of the data to be transferred is configured, i.e. the position within
the 128 bytes.
