General information
Structure
This section contains the following topics:
1. Overview of the analog modules available
2. General information concerning all analog modules (such as parameter assignment and
diagnostics)
3. Information that refers to specific modules (for example, features, wiring diagram and block
diagrams, specifications and special characteristics of the module):
a) for analog input modules
b) for analog output modules
STEP 7 blocks for analog functions
You can use blocks FC 105 and FC 106 to read and output analog values in
STEP 7. You will
find the FCs in the standard library of
STEP 7 in the subdirectory called "S5-S7 Converting
Blocks" (for a description refer to the
STEP 7 Online Help for the FCs).
Further information
The appendix describes the structure of the parameter records (data records 0 and 1) and
diagnostic information (data records 0 and 1) in the system data. You must be familiar with
this configuration if you want to modify the parameters of the modules in the
STEP 7 user
program.
The structure of diagnostic information (data records 0 and 1) is described in the system data
section of the appendix. You must be familiar with this configuration if you want to evaluate
the diagnostic data of the modules in the
STEP 7 user program.
