System- and communication configuring D7-SYS - SIMADYN D
Edition 12.2003
The central coupling block makes an entry into the communications error
field and no longer processes the coupling module, if
•
a central coupling block identifies an error when being initialized
•
a firmware does not respond or manifests erroneous behavior,
•
the central coupling block is running on the incorrect communications
module.
3.1.4.2
Transmitters and receivers
Transmitters and receivers are:
•
function blocks, which access the data interface of a coupling, either
writing and/or reading.
•
part of the communications utility which uses the coupling.
Examples of transmitters:
•
message output, function block MSI:
Copies messages from the message buffer into a data interface
•
process data transmit block CTV
Examples of the receivers:
•
process data receive block CRV
As transmitters and receivers don’t differentiate between the individual
couplings, at the block inputs of the transmitter and receiver, a coupling
type must not be specified.
•
CTS input to specify the coupling module
•
address connection AR, AT or US to specify channel names and
coupling-specific addresses
Before transmitters and receivers can transfer data, they must first
identify- and synchronize with one another:
•
Identification is realized via the data configured at the connections
CTS and AT, AR or US.
•
Synchronization is only possible,
−
if a transmitter identifies its partner as receiver (or vice versa).
−
if the length of the reserved data areas coincide.
−
if the net data structure is compatible.
−
if the data transfer mode is identical (data entry at the MOD input
for transmitters/receivers).
