CPU 821x programs
The program that is present in every CPU is divided as follows:
•
System routine
•
User program
The system routine organizes all those functions and procedures of the
CPU that are not related to a specific control application.
This consists of all the functions that are required for the processing of a
specific control application. The operating modules provide the interfaces to
the system routines.
CPU 821x operands
The following operands are available for programming the CPU 821x:
•
Process image and periphery
•
Bit memory/marker
•
Timers and counters
•
Data blocks
The user program can quickly access the process image of the inputs and
outputs PAA/PAE. You may manipulate the following types of data:
- individual
bits
- bytes
- words
- double
words
You may also gain direct access to peripheral modules via the bus from
your user program. The following types of data are available:
- bytes
- words
- blocks
