Application example for the ET 200S 1SI serial interface module
Task
This example shows how to:
● use the _ET200S_SI08_send function block to send data from the send data array to a
communication partner (in the example, the second serial interface module).
● use the _ET200S_SI08_receive function block to receive data in the receive data array.
In the example program, the first serial interface module is used as the sender, and the second
is used as the receiver. The _ET200S_SI08_send FB is used to transfer the send data to the
second interface module.
The _ET200S_SI08_receive FB reads out the data received from the first serial interface
module and copies it to the receive data array.
In this example, two serial interface modules with 8-byte data interface are used.
Hardware platform
The application example is available for various SIMOTION hardware platforms.
Note
If the application example is not available for your hardware platform, you have to adapt the
hardware configuration.
Assigning module parameters
Proceed as follows:
1. Open your project in SIMOTION SCOUT.
2. Open the hardware configuration in SIMOTION SCOUT.
3. Configure your hardware station with the two ET 200S 1SI serial interface modules (8-byte
data interface), see chapter Integrating the ET 200S 1SI serial interface module into the
4. The serial interface modules are located below the IM 151-1 PROFIBUS interface module.
Double-click the first or second 1SI ASCII (8 byte) to open the Properties dialog for this
module. Select the Parameters tab to access the parameter assignment interface.
5. Select the following setting (leave all other settings as they are): Diagnostic alarm: activate.
Confirm your selection with OK.
6. Save the hardware configuration with the Station > Save and compile menu command.
7. Download the hardware configuration with the Target system > Download to module menu
command.
The red "SF" LED of the IM 151-1 turns on and off after the module parameter assignment
is downloaded without errors.
