PLC Siemens s7 300,Memory and Program/Step7 Over-view

 

Hello friends, in this post iam about Siemens s7 300 memory all user program objects are located in different organized memory areas of CPU

                Different variable regions are the basis for communication between the program parts and the system, now we will follow the course of the user program from the programming device through the different CPU regions of the user memory model.

                User program and somatic automation system parameters were generated offline on a programming device using somatic step7 software in operating mode that halts the download of the user program and triggers the hardware's configuration parameters in the CPU's load memory . .

          Load operating memory is designed as integrated memory in the CPU or as a plug in memory card, when the entire user program is stored using flash eprom and micro memory card, CPU operating system download configuration data After interpreting it is protected against power failure. Start up sets the parameters for the modules that are part of this CPU. 

                Pausing and running the program code needed to process the program in transition between operating modes as well as user data is copied from load memory to work memory, the memory is designed to be fast and fully CPU integrated RAM The Memory in Run execution system operates the user program during runtime, working with the operands and variables located within the system and work memory.

          System memory consists of the following sections Process image which is the interface for the input and output of the module at the beginning of each program cycle. The operating system automatically ensures that the entire image of all parameterized inputs and outputs is updated and their status entered. The so-called process image access from your user program is usually done through this coherent IO. Memory memory bits are a universal variable field that can be used globally within the entire user program timer and counters by the operating system. Managed which they can use without additional hardware to easily realize wait or monitoring time and calculation of part load and with very few programming temporal variables leading to dynamic intermediate storage during program processing , Is recorded in the local data stack.

              Block stack and interrupt stack are used for diagnostics purposes for internal management of call hierarchies that are accessible only in stop mode, in addition to buffers for communication jobs to other stations in system memory, and for all diagnostic events System message buffers are included. This station.

                 The classification of memory regions and access methods by user programs is independent of the selected programming language or CPU type. This homogeneity is the basis of easily reused programs and libraries also contain different CPU types. Different technologies in a complete plant or production machine. . Parts that can be separated from each other are cup labeling machines for technologists.

                     For example the material consists of a labeling unit feed and the packing unit automation designer can incorporate each technical unit into further independent tasks.

     Conveyor belt lifting units etc.

  If functional units can be identified, which can be used jointly by multiple technical units, it is known as a structured approach in this example, this motor control valve control failure among many others There may be performance or partial load calculations, which form the basis of this form of structure. Step 7 for simple solutions for complex tasks. In this task you support a step 7 with programming and block concept, block function is a part of the user program separated by structure and purpose that allows for extensive and complex control functions. Enables to be structured.

 

                           As a user you have the benefit of easy programming due to the small tasks, better observation of the entire plant and running of your plant, as each component can be dealt with individually and generate libraries once realized Look at an example taken from the possible realization of the structure of this plant.

                  Principle An entire program can be instructed by a join instruction in a single block for example organization block ob1 This is referred to as a linear program.

              However, this type of programming has the disadvantage of not having clarity, so there is a risk of errors, huge programming requirements, and increased memory requirements.

                    The step 7 block concept is preordained for the structured realization of this task, to process the blocks that control a technical or functional unit they are called sequentially or stack into an organization block. After they are done, the program automatically jumps back to the address address calling block.

                   Step 7 provides you with different block types for encapsulation of your sub-types depending on the application. As shown in the preceding section on the execution system, the organization block is the interface between the operating system and the user program.

                   The main program is usually located in c1 called ob1 for example ob1 calls the technical unit of the first conveyor belt. This sub function is realized as a function block FB that flexibly converts a function block Can be circulated and has its own memory as an example data block. This data block DB(Data block) is created by the program editor in an instance when calling the first FB for short and it is primarily for this FB only. The result of the calculation and logic operation of a function block for data exchange is therefore dependent on the state of the current call parameter and on the state of the data stored from earlier cycles.

             The forward block in a function block can be called an example The function of displaying and processing error signals with a reusable function is a function or FC is used for programming often recurring automation functions that it needs to Can be standardized and return an optional return value for calling. Block tasks.

                   Generally do not store any internal information beyond their runtime they only communicate via their input and output parameters system functions or s FCS are parameter by functions integrated in the operating system of the CPU whose number and functionality are fixed in this example the current system time can be read from the operating system of the CPU via and SFC similar to the function blocks there are also parameter izybelle system function blocks or SFPs integrated in the operating system which on being called only need to be supplied with an instance data block structured and tight coded user data can be stored in data blocks                

                      there are two ways of realizing the application of data blocks as a global data block which can be used as free data block by all other function related blocks and as instance data block which is always assigned to a function block and only contains the local data of this block call after the program of the first conveyor belt has been processed completely all further plant parts intended for execution are successively called in OB.

            one identical plant components such as a further identical conveyor belt can now be processed by simply calling the same block with other i/o parameters and a separate instance dB this way of creating the user program illustrates how simply clearly displayed execution and memory optimized reusable programs generated in the same or in different projects can be generated with blocks.

A simple user program is used to explain how a function block communicates with the CPU's various memory areas through its parameter interface The ladder diagram displayed here implements a simple multi-usable motor block. The motor is powered on and off via a push-button. The position is additionally displayed via a blinking signal, the block can be used repeatedly for the same motor type. A fixed motor is selected only by specifying the interface, leaving its function unchanged. is.

                 The input processes are traceable through the memory area of ​​the image and are connected with the input parameters of our block. A program-wide uniform enable signal is located in a global data block for all motors and is also connected to the input parameters ,

                 The central blinking signal is automatically assigned to a global memory bit via parameterization by the CPU and is connected to another input parameter that is connected to a controlled motor contactor and processes the output through the blinking light output parameters into the image. Are associated with the address. The position of the storage element in the program must also be maintained after the motor block is terminated, so a static variable is created in the declaration section of the FB.

             All parameters for FB are stored in temporary and static variable instance data blocks, the operand of the user program used in the block is specifically switched through the symbolic name of the block parameter and the declaration clause of this block functionality. The constant variables of are now. A fully encapsulated block is present only once in the CPU's memory, although it can be called multiple times in the program.
