System- and communication configuring D7-SYS - SIMADYN D
Edition 12.2003
This pointer is actually a pointer which includes a structure, which in
addition to the pointer to the net data also has information for monitoring
purposes. This data includes, for example, the sampling time, block
class, byte/word swap. It has the connection comment "ZeigPuffer".
3.24.4.6 Configuring
information and instructions
•
The telegram blocks as well as the read/write blocks must be
configured in
the same sampling time
in order to ensure consistency
(this is checked when initializing).
•
Offset data
must be carefully entered.
a) For pointer-based communications, the configuring engineer must
precisely observe the offset (in bytes) of the 16-bit value (INT) or 32-
bit value (REAL, DINT) to be addressed.
b) The offset must always be smaller than the buffer size.
Before accessing buffer data, a check is made as to whether the area
(range) has been exceeded because of an offset which has been set
too high.
•
If data is transferred to a PROFIBUS-DP station or to a SIMATIC
CPU, then bytes (for INT) and, where relevant, words of the value to
be transferred (for REAL, DINT) must be swapped.
The read/write blocks have a "Swap" connection – SWP – for this
specific purpose.
•
In order to transfer telegrams via an interface, initially, it is sufficient to
just configure the telegram block with the appropriate lengths data
(CRV_T, CTV_P and S7RD_P, S7WR_P). Read/write blocks still don't
have to be configured. This means that the interface can be tested or
the computation time load through the interface configured using, for
example, few resources.
