Application module FM 458 6DD1607-0AA0
2.1.1 Application and design
The FM 458 (Function Module) application module is an application
module which can be graphically freely configured and which can be used
for sophisticated high-dynamic performance open-loop and closed-loop
control functions. It is designed for use in a SIMATIC S7-400 station as a
passive node which is connected to the SIMATIC backplane buses
(P bus and K bus).
Applications include higher-level closed-loop drive controls for:
• Closed-loop tension control
• Closed-loop position control
• Winders and coilers
• Angular and synchronous controls
• Positioning
• Cross-cutters and flying saws
• Other closed-loop controls

As the FM 458 is a passive node on the backplane bus, the S7-CPU
module must read-in signals from the SIMATIC I/O, and send these to the
FM 458. The FM can be supplemented by the following expansion
modules for fast process coupling:
• The I/O expansion module EXM 438/EXM 438-1 provides additional
digital and analog I/O as well as incremental and absolute value

Depending on the required function (signal conversion, LED display),
different interface modules (max. 5) can be connected to the digital inputs
and outputs as well as the absolute value encoder. For this particular
case, cable SC62 must be used. This cable has five cable ends, which
can be used to connect an appropriate number of interface modules. The
following interface modules can be used:
Designation Function
SB10 Direct connection (1:1 connection)
of 8 digital I/O, LED, no signal conversion
SB60 8 digital inputs, conversion, 230V to 24V (signal level of the
module), LED, electrical isolation

2.2.5 Incremental encoder settings
Switches S1, S2 and S3 are used to toggle between 15V- and 5V-
encoders. Each track (A/VW, B/RW, N/-) of a channel has a switch, which
can be used to set the appropriate encoder type:
• Switch open (OFF): 15 V encoder: Switching threshold = 7 V
• Switch closed (ON): 5 V encoder: Switching threshold = 0 V
15 V encoders 5 V encoders

application module:
Components Function (for FM 458)
STEP 7 General project management and hardware
configuration
CFC Graphic Editor
D7-SYS (from V5.0.1) Operating system, compiler, function block library
COM-PROFIBUS Supplementary software, if EXM 448 is to be
configured as master.
Detail informations: refer to www.siemens.com/fm458
Control related functions can be extremely easily configured using the
graphic configuring interface CFC (Continuos Function Chart). A
programming language does not have to be learned.
Function blocks are taken from a library comprising approximately 250
function blocks, and placed on a page using simple drag and drop.
The block I/Os are connected with one another by clicking on an output
and an input.
For inputs, which are assigned a fixed value and which are not
connected, the value is specified in a parameterizing dialog box.
The configured software thus generated is compiled by the graphic
configuring interface CFC and downloaded into the FM458 application
module.
NOTE Please refer to the appropriate SIMATIC S7 Documentation and the
online help of the programs for information on installation and mode of
operation of STEP 7 and CFC.
Using the D7-SYS supplementary software, detailed procedures and

4.2 Configuring and parameterizing the components
The hardware configuration is defined in the program section of STEP 7,
in which the user indicates which components (modules) he wishes to use
for his system.
Arranging subracks, modules and sub-modules in a station window is
known as configuring. Subracks are represented using a configuring
table, which permits, just like the "real" subracks, a defined number of
modules which can be inserted.
HWConfig
Configuring

Applikationsbaugruppe FM 458 - Benutzerhandbuch

6DD1904-0AE0 Ausgabe 02.2002
Properties of modules which can be parameterized, can be set using the
appropriate dialog fields. The module type defines which of the
parameters can be set. Before a module can be parameterized, it must be
arranged in the subrack.
A dialog field, with one or several tabs appears by double-clicking on the
line of the subrack with the module. This includes information and the
parameters which can be set for the selected module.
These dialog fields can also be displayed by marking the module and the
menu command „Edit > Object properties“ or can be displayed using the
righthand mouse key "Object properties".
In order to configure and parameterize the layout, you must make the
following steps in HWConfig:
1. Select the subrack (S7-400 Rack) ; it must have at least one S7 power
supply unit and one S7-CPU.
2. Select the modules and submodules (FM 458 and components)
3. Parameterize the modules (define the properties)
4. Check configuration consistency
5. Save the configuration

Independent of the packaging technology of a station, the configuration is
always made as follows:
1. To open the sub-directories, click on the “+“ symbol in the directory
structure of the hardware catalog.
2. A hardware component is marked in the "hardware catalog" window.
3. The selected hardware component is dragged into the station window
per drag and drop.
An S7-400 station is to be configured with the following components:
Designation Type
Rack for S7-400 station e.g. UR1
Power supply for S7-400 station e.g. PS 405 10A
CPU for S7-400 station e.g. CPU 412-1
FM 458 application module FM 458
Program memory module e.g. MC 521
Communications expansion module EXM 448
I/O expansion module EXM 438
Corresponding to the actual machine (hardware), FM 458 modules are
placed in the subrack of the S7-400 station in HWConfig; this subrack
must be equipped, as a minimum with a power supply and an S7-CPU.
The 400 subrack, is represented using a "configuration table", which has
as many lines, as modules, which can be inserted in the actual subrack.

4.3 Coupling to the SIMATIC S7-CPU
The FM 458 has a RAM memory (128 Kbytes) which can be used to
connect it to a P bus. Data can be exchanged with one SIMATIC S7-CPU
via this P-bus memory.
The FM 458 is passive on the P bus, i.e. the FM 458 cannot directly
access other modules of the SIMATIC station.
There are 3 ways to transfer data to the SIMATIC CPU:
• 4 bytes can be received from the SIMATIC-CPU using a process
interrupt
• 128 bytes can be sent and received via SIMATIC I/O accesses
• extremely large data quantities can be sent and received using data
blocks/sets
The EXM 438, EXM 448 expansion modules can only be accessed from
the FM 458 (via the FM-internal LE bus); they have no direct connection
to the P bus.
The start addresses of the I/O, under which a SIMATIC CPU can address
the I/O range of the FM 458, are configured in HW Config. The addresses
for inputs and outputs can differ.
HW Config menu: “Edit/Properties/Addresses”
Default: 512 (decimal; for inputs and outputs)
The FM 458 also sends diagnostic interrupts to the SIMATIC-CPU,
independent of what has been configured, in the following situations.
• Transition into the statuses
− “initialization error “
− “system error “
− “user stop “
− “RUN“
• If the memory module is inserted or withdrawn, or is not available

4.3.2 Initiating a process interrupt on SIMATIC-CPU
Function block PAS7 initiates, when triggered, a process interrupt to the
assigned S7-CPU. Supplementary interrupt info of 4 bytes is configured at
the IFO input, which contains net data information.
When an interrupt is initiated, the interrupt OB, which should be
configured in HW Config, is called in the SIMATIC S7-CPU. The
supplementary interrupt info, taking up 4 bytes, is written into the local
data of the interrupt OBs.
The start address of the input/outputs of the sending FM 458 (to be
configured in HW Config; in the example 512dec = 200hex) is also saved
in the local data of the OB 40.

The 8-bit CFC data type “BOOL“ is represented in the SIMATIC S7-CPU
as “BYTE“ data type. This means that the SIMATIC S7 user must
appropriately set or evaluate the decisive MSB (Most Significant Bit):
• S7-CPU: bit variable
• FM 458: 1XXX XXXX = TRUE
0XXX XXXX = FALSE
In order to achieve high processing speeds with 32-bit accesses, the
following must be ensured by appropriately configuring the FM 458/CFC
(offset, refer below) as well as programming the SIMATIC-CPU, so that
• 16-bit values (INT/WORD data types)
are saved at even addresses (word limits) and
• 32-bit values (REAL, DINT data types)
at addresses which are divisible by 4 (double word limits)
are saved in the two P-bus memories which are 128 bytes large.

The FM 458 side is accessed using the S7RD/S7WR blocks, at which the
offset of the data to be transferred is configured, i.e. the position within
the 128 bytes.
When assigning the offset, the number of all of the values located before
the block involved (blocks) and their data type (assigned memory range in
bytes) are taken into account. It is especially important that possible
overlaps are avoided. Gaps between individual values are not permitted
(e.g. for reserve ranges).
However, the offset is not specified in the number of bytes, but as a
multiple of the data type of the associated function block!
In this case, the offset, starting from an entry in bytes must be divided
by 2 (for INT types) or by 4 (for REAL/DINT types) and this result must
be configured at the offset input.
Using this technique, it is automatically guaranteed, that the data to be
transferred is available at optimum addresses, i.e. addresses which can
be quickly accessed. However, if the data is unfavorably structured, this
can result in memory cells which cannot be used (refer to the example
diagram below). In order to avoid this, for example, BYTE- and INT types
should be individually distributed over the memory area, but should be
arranged one after the other (consecutively).
Absolute addresses are used in the SIMATIC S7 program which are
obtained from the FM 458 address and the offset of the associated
S7RD/S7WR block in bytes (!):
Absolute address = (offset x F) + FM 458 I/O address
FM 458 I/O address: The start address, configured in HW Config for the
I/O range of the associated FM 458
Offset = Value at the associated S7RD/S7WR function block
F = Data type length in number of bytes:
F = 1 for S7WR_B, S7RD_B
F = 2 for S7WR_I, S7RD_I

4.3.4 Transferring data sets
If extremely large quantities of data are to be transferred, e.g. for
visualization applications (WinCC), or if data have to be transferred
between SIMATIC and FM 458 for an extremely high number of drives.
• Memory available on the P bus: 114688 bytes (0x1C000 hex), for
various "data sets" (or "telegrams").
• max. 125 read and 125 write data sets
• max. length per data set (telegram): 240 bytes
• max. data quantity which can be transferred:
For internal data management and buffer mechanisms, the following
are required
- for received data sets, 2x data set length
- for sent data sets 3x data set length
The sum of the required bytes for all of the write and read data sets
may not exceed the above mentioned memory size of 114688 bytes!
Example:
Max. number of write and read data sets, each 240 bytes:
114688 bytes / (5 * 240 bytes) = 95.5733
A maximum of 95 write- and 95 read data sets, each with 240 bytes can
be configured.
“System Function Calls” SFC are used in the SIMATIC-CPU for data set
transfer:
• write SFC 58 data set (to the FM 458)
• read SFC 59 to the data set (from FM 458)
This coupling type is configured on the FM 458 in 3 steps:
1. Establish the coupling:
Configure a central communications block @CPB (from the
“SpezKomm” block family) to initialize and monitor the data set
coupling.
2. Define the send and receive data sets:
A function block must be configured for each data set (telegram):
CRV to receive,
CTV to send
Data/entries at the CRV/CTV connections:
− CTS = FM458.P_B
Connection is connected to the P bus coupling:

i.e. they must be different.

to form a data set (telegram).
CFC entry:
Mark the connection / righthand mouse key / connection to operand
“!”
and comprises max. 6 characters.
− MOD = R
P-bus communications always operates in the refresh mode.
3. Assigning process quantities to the data set:
Marked block outputs are sent and the inputs are supplied from a
receive data set if they are connected to the data set/telegram via the
dialog box “Insert Connection to Address”. All virtual connections with
this name are combined to form a data set.
A sequence number still has to be specified for each value (connection).
This only specifies the sequence of the associated value in the data
set, but not the absolute position!
For the CFC code compilation, the data, associated with a data set,
are arranged in the memory in an increasing sequence. The sequence
numbers can be assigned with gaps, e.g. so that data can be easily
and subsequently inserted..
Contrary to "data transfer with peripheral accesses", for virtual
communications, data is always packed consecutively without any
gaps. The configuring engineer must ensure, by sensibly assigning
the sequence number, that the data are saved to word or double word
limits in order to achieve a high processing speed.
The sequence number does not provide information on the address
and does not specify the offset!
If an offset of a value in the data set (e.g. in bytes) is required for S7
program, it can be calculated from the sum of all of the previously
located values, taking into account their data type (length=2 for INT,
length=4 for REAL/DINT).

4.4 SIMOLINK drive coupling
4.4.1 Basic information
SIMOLINK (Siemens Motion Link, SL) is a digital, serial data transfer
protocol using fiber-optic cables as data transfer medium.
The SIMOLINK drive coupling has been developed for extremely fast
and/or rigid cycle transfer of process data (setpoints, actual values,
control and status information)
• between drives (dispatcher, transceiver)
- SIMOVERT MASTERDRIVES MC/VC, or
- SIMOREG DC-MASTER or
• between drives and a higher-level automation system (SL master)
- SIMATIC S7-400 station with FM 458 and EXM448-1 or
- SIMADYN D subrack with PM5/6 and ITSL
• between automation systems (SL master, slave/s)
• Where all of the connected nodes are synchronized (SYNC telegram)
to a common system clock.
By transferring a time-equidistant and jitter-free SYNC telegram,
SIMOLINK allows high-dynamic response and all of the connected
individual drives move in absolute position synchronism (e.g. virtual
shaft).
• Max. 201 active nodes (SL master, dispatcher and transceiver,
passive nodes include switches and cable concentrators)
• Bus cycle:
Time between two SYNC telegrams, i.e. the circulating time in the
ringbus
• SYNC telegram:
All of the connected nodes are synchronized after the telegrams were
sent
• Telegram:
32-bit word (double word), occupies one channel for each piece of
process data.
• Nodes read and write their data once every bus cycle.
Bus cycle = system clock cycle Bus cycle = system bus cycle

• Telegram runtime:
s 366.
µ
• All of the telegrams are sent immediately one after the other.
• For instance, for a selected bus cycle time of 0.8 ms, the SL master
can transfer
– one double word each to a max. of 124 slaves/transceiver, or
– 4 double words each to a max. of 31 slaves/transceiver
• The remaining times are intervals where a telegram is not sent (NOP).
• Master-slave process data transfer:
– up to 200 slaves/transceiver can be addressed with address gaps
– up to 8 double words individually for each slave/transceiver
– own process data for each slave/transceiver
• Dispatcher transceiver process data transfer:
– up to 200 consecutively addressed transceivers
– up to 8 double words
– the same number of used channels for dispatcher and transceiver
(nodes with a max. number of double words defines the number of
channels for all)
• Data transfer rate: 11 Mbit/s
• Bus topology: Fiber-optic cable ring, each node as
signal amplifier
• Max. distance between two nodes:
− 40 m for plastic fiber-optic cables, or
− 300 m for glass fiber-optic cables.

4.4.2 Application with master-slave process data transfer
The automation system with SIMOLINK interface is generally configured
as the SL master. Whereby, all of the other coupling nodes are set as
slaves/transceiver (refer to MASTERDRIVES option module SLB
SIMOLINK).
The number of channels used for each slave/transceiver is defined by the
SIMOLINK function blocks (connections CTV, CSV).

4.4.3 Applications and modes which should be set
Various SL master, dispatcher and slave modes can be set by
appropriately configuring SIMOLINK.
For position-synchronous actual value sensing and setpoint input (e.g.
“virtual shaft” for printing or packaging machines), the jitter-free
(equidistant in time) modes should be set
• External mode (Mode 4),
• Interrupt automatic mode (Mode 3) and
• External cyclic mode (Mode 5)
• Cyclic automatic mode (mode 10) and
•
(refer to the SIMOLINK function block description @SL).
For the mode 3, 5 and 10, the telegram data of the previous bus cycle are
processed in parallel to the bus cycle and equidistant SIMOLINK
telegrams are sent and received. This allows the shortest SIMOLINK
cycles to be configured. Ideally, this technique is suitable for applications
with “virtual shaft with values which uniformly change”, which are
required, for example, for printing machines.
The operating modes automatic mode (Mode 3) with processing in an

The cyclic-automatic-mode 10 offers the advantage to place the function
block configuration in cyklic tasks, in opposed to mode 3.
The jitter-free SL-master mode, external-mode is best suited for
synchronous actual value sensing with the fastest processing (minimum
deadtime). This means, that it can be used as “virtual shaft with
dynamically changing values”, for example, for packaging machines.
In the external mode (Mode 4) the SIMOLINK cycle is synchronized to
the base sampling time T0. The SIMOLINK blocks are immediately
executed in the configured interrupt task Ix when the SYNC telegram is
subsequently received.

The base sampling time T0 setting must correspond as a minimum
to the bus cycle time plus the interrupt task processing time.
If data are to be transferred to other nodes after the calculation with
minimum deadtime, then either the non-synchronous mode or the timer
mode is used.
For the non-synchronous mode (Mode 1), data is directly output after
the SIMOLINK blocks have been processed in a cyclic task Tx.

In these non-synchronous SL-master modes, which exhibit jitter, the
coupled drives cannot be operated with position synchronism if the SYNC
telegram is sent in the time intervals which depend on the actual
configuring. This allows the fastest possible data transfer between SL
master (Mode 1 or 2) and the slave (Mode 0).
The slave mode (Mode 0) is used to read and evaluate the bus data
transfer in a drive ring, for e.g. monitoring and diagnostic purposes.
With each received SYNC telegram, the SIMOLINK module initiates that
the configured interrupt task Ix is processed. If it is used as the receive
section for fast data transfer between SL master and slave, all of the
telegrams can be read and processed. Furthermore, it is possible to write
a max. 8 telegrams, in order to, for example, transfer signals to the SL
master.

In order to send data between two automation systems via SIMOLINK,
which exceeds the amount of data using 8 telegrams, two independent
SIMOLINK rings are required. This means that every node can be
configured once as SL master to send in one ring and as slave to receive
in the other ring. This technique is used, for example, to achieve

between two SIMATIC FM 458 modules each with two EXM 448-1
expansion modules.
When selecting the operating mode, it should be noted, that interrupt task
processing can interrupt cyclic tasks at any time. This can influence the
timing. For the non-synchronous mode, the SIMOLINK cycle is delayed
and for the external cyclic mode, T0 must be adapted to prevent
computation time overflow or multiple sending of the same values which
have not been re-calculated.
Synchronization to the base sampling time T0 can be set in 100 µs
intervals while interrupt tasks are initiated by the SYNC telegram,

The SIMOLINK ring comprises the minimum of two and a maximum of
201 SLB modules, which are coupled to one another through fiber-optic
cables. There is only one SL master on a ring. All of the other nodes are
slaves.
An SLB module is a hardware component of an ITSL, an EXM 448-1
module or an option module SLB (SIMOLINK Board, Order No. 6SX7010-
0FJ00).
NOTE Additional information on these modules and their installation is
provided in the User Manual D7-SYS “Hardware“, or SIMOVERT

4.4.4.2 SIMOLINK function blocks
The configuring engineer can use the following function blocks:
• @SL SIMOLINK central block
• SLAV SIMOLINK receive block, one for each actual value
• SLSV SIMOLINK send block, one for each setpoint
• SLSV2 SIMOLINK send block, for two setpoints
• SLSVAV SIMOLINK send and receive block for up to 8 setpoints
and actual values of the slave
• SLD SIMOLINK delta evaluation
• SLDIS SIMOLINK dispatcher
The central block @SL permits the initialization and monitoring of
communications in a SIMOLINK ring.
It may only be configured once for each SIMOLINK ring in a sampled
cyclic task (T4 or T5) which is, as a minimum, 4x longer than the send
and receive block.
If a transceiver no longer receives a telegram as a result of an
interruption, then it automatically sends a special telegram, which
evaluates the @SL function block. The address of the node is output at
NDM, which first signals the fault.
NOTE Additional information regarding the mode of operation and the
connections (I/O) of the specified blocks are provided in the online help
of the CFC Editor and in the "Function block library" reference Manual".

4.5 Table function
4.5.1 Introduction
The table function in SIMATIC TDC / SIMADYN D provides the user with
the possibility of linking-in and using tabular values (values in a table) in a
configured software application. In this case, the function blocks TAB and
TAB_D must be configured on the SIMATIC TDC and SIMADYN D sides.
Tabular values, data type REAL are managed using the TAB and data
type DINT, using TAB_D. The user provides the tabular values.
The table function can be configured in three modes:
• Manual mode, i.e. the tabular values are directly entered at the block
via an online interface (e.g. CFC in the test mode), or transferred to
the block using teach-in from the program (refer to Fig. 1).
• Automatic mode: Communications, i.e. the tabular values are
transferred via a communications interface (TCP/IP, DUST1, S7 via P
bus). In order to transfer tabular values from an S7 control to a
SIMATIC FM 458 application module via the P bus, in addition, the
WR_TAB should be configured on the S7 control side (refer to Fig. 2).
• Automatic mode: Memory card, i.e. the table values are downloaded
into the memory card, from where they are read.
NOTE The "Automatic mode, memory card" mode is presently still not
available.
It should be noted, that it is only possible to toggle the modes between
"Manual mode" and "Automatic mode: Communications" as well as
"Manual mode" and "Automatic mode: Memory card".
A validity check is made if the tabular values have been entered or
transferred. The address of the table is displayed at "TAB" output.
The tabular values are managed twice, i.e. in two tables. The table,
defined as "valid" (=active) is used for all arithmetic/computation
operations of the configured application software. The "invalid" (=inactive)
table is used to manage value changes. All of the tabular values, changed
by the user, are initially transferred into the invalid table. If the inactive
table is activated, the new tabular values are mirrored in the second table.
The table which had been active up until then automatically becomes
invalid. This means that the new tabular values are available in both
tables.
Both tables can be saved in the SAVE area which is backed-up (buffered)
by a battery in order to prevent data loss (connection SAV=1 when
initializing).

In the "Automatic mode: Communications", tabular values can be
transferred using the following communication versions:
• S7 via the P bus for SIMATIC FM 458 (it is necessary to additionally
configure the WR_TAB on the control side)
• TCP/IP (tabular values can be transferred from a SIMATIC TDC
module to another one using the CTV and CRV FBs)
• DUST1 (tabular values can only be transferred via a DUST1 interface)
The tabular values are transferred using data telegrams.

4.5.1.3 Function block WR_TAB
The function block WR_TAB is used to transfer tables from one S7
control to a SIMATIC FM 458 application module. The tabular values
(permissible data types are REAL and double integer) are saved in a data
block. They are transferred from WR_TAB to the function blocks TAB and
TAB_D on the SIMATIC FM 458 application module, which then internally
manages the tabular values.
The WR_TAB should be configured on the control side. The tabular
values are transferred from one S7-400 control to a SIMATIC FM 458
application module via the P bus. All of the values are always transferred,
which are in the DB specified at the DBNUM input.

time consuming as data has to be manually entered or taught-in from the
program.
After the TAB or TAB_D has been correctly configured, the tabular values
can be entered one after another. To start off with, the table size, i.e. the
number of value pairs (=points) should be specified at input NP. If the
table is to be saved in the SAVE area, then input SAV of the must be 1.
The tabular values can then be subsequently entered. In this case, to
start, the index point i should be specified at input IP of the value pair to
be entered. The X and Y value of the point should then be entered at
inputs XP and YP. In order to accept the entered value, after entering
each value pair, input WR should be set from 0 to 1. Before entering the
next point, the index at input IP should be incremented. The values for
this point should then be entered. This procedure is repeated until all of
the values have been entered.
A specific sequence does not have to be observed when entering the
individual points.
The number of entered points must match the data at input NP.
All of the entries during this procedure are transferred into the inactive
table of the and are only available after being activated in the configured
software. In order to activate the inactive table with the entered values,
input TVL should be set to 1.
Additional changes can then be again made in the inactive table and are
only available after this has been re-activated again.
In order to output the entered tabular values, after entering the data at
input IP, the index of the point i, to be displayed is specified, and input RD
is set from 0 to 1. The tabular values of point i are then displayed at the
outputs YXP (X value) and YYP (Y value). The index of point i is output at
output YIP.

4.5.2.2 Configuring
For the "Manual mode", only the TAB and/or TAB_D have to be
configured depending on whether tabular values, data type REAL and/or
DINT have to be managed. Each table may only contain values
associated with one data type. If several tables having different data types
are to be managed, then an TAB or TAB_D must be configured for each
table.
The function blocks TAB and TAB_D should be configured in the same
sampling time of 32ms. The following connection (I/O) settings are
required:
AUT = 0 (automatic mode de-activated)
NP = [specifies the table size]
XP = [enters the X values]
YP = [enters the Y values]
IP = [enters the value pair to be changed]
TVL = 1 (to activate the table after all of the values have been entered)
WR = 1 (to transfer the value pair which was entered in the table)
RD = 1 (to display the value pair, specified under IP, at outputs YXP
and YYP)
NOTE If, in the "Manual mode" the CTS connection is set to "0" when
initializing (CTS=0; AUT=0), then it is no longer possible to changeover
into the "Automatic mode: Memory card" (CTS=0; AUT=1).
If the CTS connection is set to "0" while initializing, and the "Automatic
mode: Memory card" is activated (AUT=1), then it is possible to
subsequently changeover to "Manual mode" (CTS=0; AUT=0). The
table, saved on the memory card, can then be processed in the
"Manual mode".
If, after this, a change is made back to "Automatic mode: Memory card"
(CTS=0; AUT=1), this no longer has any effect, because it is only
activated during the initialization operation.
If a communications interface is configured at the CTS connection, it is
possible to toggle, as required between "Manual mode" and "Automatic
mode: Communications".

4.5.3 Automatic mode: Communications
4.5.3.1 Application with an S7 control and SIMATIC FM 458 application
module
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled in order to successfully
transfer tables:
• The function blocks TAB and/or TAB_D must be configured in the
FM 458 application module corresponding to the configuring
specifications for "Automatic mode: Communications" (A detailed
explanation is provided in Section "Configuring for S7 control and
SIMATIC FM 458 application module").
• The X and Y values of a table in a DB must always be present
alternating. There must be a Y value for each X value, so that the
number of values in a data set is always an integer number.
In order to start data transfer, inputs REQTAB and REQDB at
WR_TAB must be set to 1. The tabular values of the DB, specified at
input DBNUM at WR_TAB can then be transferred.
The actual number of transferred data blocks is always displayed at the
CNTTEL output of the WR_TAB.
The number of data blocks is displayed at the TABTEL output of the
WR_TAB, which is required until the complete contents of the DB are
transferred to the SIMATIC FM 458 application module.
If the tabular values have been completely entered in the specified DB, or
if it involves the last partial transfer of a table (sub-set of a table), which
does not “fit” completely into a DB, then before starting the transfer, input
LASTDB of the WR_TAB should be set to 1. This means that the
SIMATIC FM 458 application module is signaled at the end of the data
transfer. The STATUS output of the WR_TAB then changes from 2 to 0.
NOTE All of the tabular values, which are located in the DB, specified at the
DBNUM input of the WR_TAB, are always transferred.
If the table is too large for a data block, then the tabular values are split-
up into individual sub-sets for transfer. The procedure is as follows:
To start, the first table section is written into the DB and is then
transferred as described above. The LASTDB input of the WR_TAB
remains at 0. The STATUS output of WR_TAB stays at 2 during data
transfer and then changes, at the end of the table sub-set transfer (partial
transfer) from 2 to 1.

6DD1904-0AE0 Ausgabe 02.2002
The old tabular values in the DB should then be overwritten with the
following tabular values. Once this has been completed, at WR_TAB the
REQDB input should be again set from 0 to 1 to activate the next table
sub-set transfer.
This procedure should be repeated until all of the tabular values have
been transferred.
At the last sub-set transfer, input LASTDB of the WR_TAB should be set
from 0 to 1. This signals the SIMATIC FM application module that data
transfer has been completed. The STATUS output of the WR_TAB then
changes from 2 to 0.
NOTE If there is adequate user memory available, the table can also be saved
in several different DBs. In this particular case, for each table sub-set
transfer, only the matching DB number at the input DBNUM of the
WR_TAB has to be specified. However, it should be ensured that the
DBs are transferred in the correct sequence, so that all of the tabular
values are transferred in an increasing sequence.
The time taken to transfer the tabular values depends on the following
factors:
• Number of tabular values
• Size of the data blocks
• Sampling time of the TAB and TAB_D
• WR_TAB processing time
In each cycle, a telegram with 56 tabular values is transferred, from the
control to the SIMATIC FM 458 application module.
The time taken for a table to be transferred can be calculated as follows:
Duration of the data transfer = [No. of tabular values / 56] * cycle time of the
slowest FB
(i.e. TAB, TAB_D or WR_TAB)
The time taken for the data to be transferred via the P bus is not relevant
for this estimation, as this data transfer time is generally less than 1ms
and generally, the function blocks TAB and TAB_D are configured in
sampling times which are greater than 32ms.
If a table is distributed over several data blocks, the time required
increases. The reason for this is that in addition to the time taken to
transfer the tabular values, which can be determined using the formula
above, the user has to manually make the changes described above.

4.5.3.2 Configuring for S7 control and SIMATIC FM 458 application module
The following function blocks must be configured for the coupling
between an S7 control and an SIMATIC FM 458 application module via P
bus:
• SIMATIC FM 458 application module:
− TAB (for REAL data type) and/or
− TAB_D (data type DINT)
− @CPB (P-bus coupling, central block)
• S7 control:
− WR_TAB
Each table may only contain values associated with one particular data
type. If several tables with different data types are to be managed, then
an TAB or TAB_D must be configured for each table.
WR_TAB is used to transfer the tabular values from SIMATIC DB to
function blocks TAB and TAB_D. The tabular values are transferred using
a data telegram. When the last data telegram has been transferred, the
TAB or TAB_D is automatically signaled that all of the tabular values have
been transferred and that the table should be activated. WR_TAB
receives a checkback signal as to whether activation was successful or
not. After the table was successfully activated, its address is output at the
TAB output of the TAB or TAB_D.
TAB and TAB_D should be configured as follows:
They should be configured in a sampling time greater than or equal to
32ms. The following connection settings are required:
CTS = [name of the configured communications interface]
AUT = 1 (automatic mode activated)
US = [channel name.address stage1] (address data for receive)
MOD = [data transfer mode] (H=Handshake; R=Refresh; S=Select;
M=Multiple)
TFT = [monitoring time in milliseconds] (maximum telegram failure time
while receiving tabular values)
NP = [specifies the maximum table size]
NOTE If a communications interface is configured at the CTS connection, it is
possible to toggle, as required between "Automatic mode:
Communications" and "Manual mode".
TAB and TAB_D

The following connection settings should be configured at WR_TAB:
LADDR = [specifies the logical address of the SIMATIC FM 458
application module]
RECNUM = [specifies the data set number for the read and write
channels. This must be identical with "Address stage1" at
the US connection of the TAB or TAB_D.]
DBNUM = [specifies the data block number]
4.5.3.3 Inserting tabular values in the data block
In order to be able to transfer tabular values to a SIMATIC FM 458
application module, they must be available in a data block (DB). The DB
should be programmed on the control side.
There are two ways of generating a DB with the required tabular values:
• Generating a new DB in STEP7 and manually entering the tabular
values in the application "LAD/STL/CSF"
• Importing tabular values from an existing table (e.g. MS Excel) as
external source in STEP7
4.5.3.3.1 Manually entering tabular values
In this case, it involves the simplest method of providing tabular values in
a DB. It is realized by entering the initial (starting) and actual values of the
individual table values manually in a newly generated DB in the
application "LAD/STL/CSF". The steps required will now be explained.
NOTE The initial value is any value which can be defined for every tabular
value. It is only used if there is no actual value specified for the
associated tabular value.
The actual value is that value which is made available as tabular value
in the configured software. The required tabular values should be
specified here.
(1) Generating a new DB under STEP7
To start, a new DB should be generated under STEP7. In this case, the
"Blocks" folder is selected in the appropriate S7 program and in the
context-sensitive menu, the entry "Insert new object # data block" is
selected.
The procedure is shown in the following diagram:

(2) Opening the new DB
The next step is to open the newly generated DB by double-clicking with
the application "LAD/STL/CSF". "DB Editor" is the tool which is used to
generate it and only one "Data block" is generated.
The following diagram illustrates the selection when opening a new DB:

(3) Entering the tabular values
The required tabular values can now be entered. It should be ensured
that the X and Y values are entered, alternating.
To start, the data type, used in the table, should be entered (REAL or
DINT). In this case, the name is always "Data type", "WORD" type and
initial value for data type REAL "W#16#1", for data type DINT "W#16#2".
Then, for each individual tabular value, the name, data type ("Type"
column) and value ("Initial value" column) should be entered.
The procedure when entering tabular values, data type REAL, is shown in
the following diagram:
Fig. 4-22 Manually entered tabular values in the "LAD/STL/CSF" application
HINWEIS Only values associated with the same data type may be included in a
table. For this reason, specifying an ARRAY is an effective way of
entering data. This means that the data type doesn’t have to be
specified each time.
Refer to the online help of the application "LAD/STL/CSF" - especially
"Help for STL" for the procedure to make entries for an ARRAY type.

(4) Saving the DBs
After the tabular values have been completely entered, the DB can be
saved under "File # Save".
The tabular values are then located in the DB for transfer.
4.5.3.3.2 Importing tabular values
The tabular values, provided in the DB, can also be imported from an
external source, e.g. an MS Excel table. However, the following points
should be observed for error-free import:
• The source file of the table must have a specific format
• The source file must be linked-in as external source file under STEP7
• A new DB is generated from the external source file
• The necessary points and steps, required for the import operation, will
now be explained.
In order to import an existing table (e.g. generated using Excel) into the
DB, it must be compliant with a specific format syntax:
• The table must contain a header, which contains information about the
name of the DB and the version.
• Information about the structure and the data type of the tabular values
should then be specified.
• The tabular values are then specified (as initial values).
• It should be observed that X and Y values must always be specified,
alternating.
• The table should be saved with the *.AWL extension.
• The table can then be used as external source file.
HINWEIS The initial value is any value which can be defined for each tabular
value. It is only used if an actual value is not specified for the
associated tabular value.
The tabular values are exclusively defined as initial values. Actual
values are not used.
This significantly reduces the file size and in turn, the required memory.

(2) Insert structure and tabular values
In a next step, the structure of the tabular values and the values,
specifying the data type, are inserted. In this case, two lines plus an initial
and end line are inserted for each value pair. Furthermore, a line is
inserted at the start to specify the data type used.
The start of the structural data is displayed in the starting line with the
"STRUCT" entry. The data type, used in the table, is specified in the
following line ("W#16#1" for data type REAL, "W#16#2" for data type
DINT).
This is followed by the structural data and tabular values for the individual
value pairs, where X and Y values are always entered alternating. The
tabular values are specified corresponding to the data type used (in this
case REAL). The end of the structural data is displayed in the final line
with the "END_STRUCT;" entry.
Finally, only the data for the data section of the actual values has still to
be specified ("BEGIN" and "END_DATA_BLOCK"). As the tabular values
already have the structural data in the starting (initial) values, it is not
necessary to specify the individual actual values.
The Excel table with inserted structural data and tabular values is shown
in the following diagram:

the extension *.AWL. In this case, the following should be selected in MS
Excel "File # Save as...". "Formatted text (separated by blanks) (*.prn)"
file type should be selected and the table example should be saved under
a freely selectable name and location.

4.5.3.3.3 Subsequently downloading tabular values into a DB
If tabular values are to be subsequently downloaded into the DB, because
the table is too large and there is not sufficient user memory for several
DBs, then the table should be transferred to the SIMATIC FM 458
application module in several sub-sets of the table. To do this, the table
must be split-up into sub-sets of the table. The size of the individual sub-
set tables should be selected so that the user memory of the S7-CPU is
not exceeded. The individual table sub-sets are then transferred one after
another.
HINWEIS It is especially important that the individual table sub-sets are
transferred in the sequence of the value pairs. If they are transferred in
the incorrect sequence, then the tabular values will not be correctly
available in the configured software.

There are two possibilities:
• Manually enter the individual tabular parts at the DB in the
"LAD/STL/CSF" application and then transfer this part of the table
• Generate individual source files with different names for each table
sub-set and after being successfully linked-into the DB one after the
other, then transfer
In order to subsequently download tabular values into a DB manually, the
following steps should be carried-out:
• The appropriate DB should be opened by double-clicking in the
"LAD/STL/CSF" application.
• The existing tabular values should be replaced by entering the value of
the subsequent tabular section.
• The DB should be saved.
• The values of the table sub-sets can now be transferred.
The following steps have to be carried-out when subsequently
downloading tabular values into a DB by generating several source files:
• The same DB name should be specified in the header of the individual
source files (*.AWL).
• The individual files may not exceed the memory size of the DB.
• The file names are best numbered in an increasing sequence.
• The individual files are now linked-in as source files as described
above. However, they are still not compiled.
• The first source file is compiled and the tabular values, now available
in the DB, transferred.
• The second source file is compiled so that its tabular values are now
available in the DB. These are now transferred to the S7 control
system.
• Analog to this, the other source files are compiled and transferred one
after the other.
• After the last table sub-set has been transferred, the LASTDB
connection should be set from 0 to 1. This signals that the table has
been transferred.

4.5.3.4 Structure of the data telegram for TCP/IP or DUST1 connection
If the communications link involves a TCP/IP or DUST1 coupling, then the
data telegram structure must be carefully observed. This is described in
the following. The data telegrams are "generated" using the function
blocks CTV and CRV.
The data telegram is defined so that all of the tabular values can be
transferred in a data block as well as in several data blocks.
The structure of a data block is shown in the following table:
Data type Description
char [4] Telegram ID
Each table telegram is identified with the "TAB0" ID
u_int16 Telegram commands (bit-coded)
1: New table (rising edge, from 0 -> 1)
2: End of table
u_int16 Data format (REAL=1, DINT=2)
u_int32 No. of the actual data block
u_int32 No. of tabular values (X and Y values)
The number of values must always be an even number. This
means that always the same number of X and Y values are
transferred.
u_int32 [56] /
float [56]
Array with tabular values. (X and Y values, always alternating)
The TAB or the TAB_D sends an acknowledgement to the sender for
each data block received.
The structure of the acknowledge telegram is shown in the following table:
Data type Description
char [4] Telegram ID
Identifies each table telegram with the "TAB0" ID
u_int32 No. of the actual data block
u_int32 Status / error numbers

After the "End of table" command has been received, all additional table
data are rejected until the "New table" command is received.

4.5.4 Automatic mode: Memory card
Table values can be combined to form components using the D7-SYS
additionalComponentBuilder (this is included in D7-SYS V5.2 plus SP1).
These components can be downloaded as additional objects on the
memory card. From there, they are read-out using the TAB or TAB_D
function blocks.
One or several table files are imported in the D7-SYS
additionalComponentBuilder, which then combines these files to form a
component file (download file), which can then be downloaded onto the
memory card.
The D7-SYS additionalComponentBuilder (aCB) does not check the
contents of the files. The tables are an exception to this rule. The
contents of these table files are checked. If the table file has an erroneous
structure, then aCB immediately flags this.
The procedure from generating a table file up to configuring the function
blocks is explained in the following sections using an example.

The table files must fulfill the following conditions:
• A table file may only comprise two columns – if additional columns are
included in the table, an error message is displayed in a dialog
window.
• Both of the columns must contain the same number of values. If this is
not the case, then the D7-SYS additionalComponentBuilder displays
an error message in a dialog window and the table values are rejected.
The D7-SYS additionalComponentBuilder expects the following data
format:
• [+/-] xxx.yyy – real value, decimal places are specified using a „.“ (e.g.
145.123)
• [+/-] xxx,yyy – real value, decimal places are specified using a „,“ (e.g.
145,122)
• [+/-] xxx.yyyE+/-mm – real values shown as an exponent, decimal
places are specified using a „.“ (e.g.

4.6.1.2 BICO technology for SIMADYN D
With MASTERDRIVES operator control devices, with BICO technology
you can change interconnections between blocks. You can change
configured software without using the CFC. You can change
interconnections on a T400 technology board, Application module
FM 458 or CPU module in a SIMADYN D subrack.
!
DANGER • BICO technology and the CFC test mode should not be used
simultaneously.
• If you make online changes in the CFC test mode, then you
must first re-compile before you use BICO technology.
Changes made in the CFC only become effective on the
display of the operator control device after compilation.
• If changes were made using BICO technology without saving
them in the CPU change memory, then data consistency
between the changes on the CPU and your configured
software on the PC/PG are no longer guaranteed, and can no
longer be established by updating the project. If you wish to
avoid this inconsistent condition, you must first RESET the
module before you use CFC in the test mode
NOTE If you have made interconnection changes using BICO technology, and
then you activate the CFC test mode, a warning is displayed in the form
of the "different software release" dialog box.
You can configure the following D7-SYS connection data types of the
blocks as technological connectors:
D7-SYS connection data type in CFC Bool Integer Double
Integer
Word Real SDTime
Data type of the technological
connector in the parameter description
O2 I2 I4 V2 I4 I4
In order that you can change interconnections between blocks using
BICO technology, you must, in addition to the parameters, still configure
technological connectors at block outputs in the CFC. You can use block
outputs with technological connectors to change the interconnection using
BICO technology.
Technological connectors are configured as follows:
Designate the block output with a pseudo comment @TC_nnnn, with
nnnn: four-digit technological connector number 0000 to 9999

NOTES • No more than one technological connector may be configured as
pseudo comment per block output.
• A technological connector number may only be assigned once
(checked using CFC).
• It is not permissible to configure a technological connector at a plan
interface connection.
• It is not permissible to configure a technological connector at the
connection (I/O) of a block in a chart, which is to be compiled as
block type.
• A comment can include several pseudo comments, separated by
blanks, followed by "standard" comments text, e.g.
"@TC_1389 @TP_H345 ...
You can read a parameter and output the value using an operator control
device.
The output value corresponds to:
• for block I/O, interconnected with technological connectors, the
number of the technological connector @TC_nnnn
• for block I/O which are not interconnected, the value of the block input
or output
From the parameter documentation of a standard software package, you
can identify whether the output value represents the number of a
technological connector or the value of the block input. It is not possible to
make this differentiation at the operator control device display.
Using BICO technology, you can only change existing interconnections
between blocks, if these interconnections are configured as follows in the
CFC:
• technological connectors @TC_nnnn are configured as pseudo
comments at the block output,
• parameter @TP_Hnnn or @TP_Lnnn is configured as pseudo
comment at the input of a block,
• the blocks are interconnected by connecting an input with pseudo
comment @TP_Hnnn or @TP_Lnnn and an output with pseudo
comment TC_nnnn.
The interconnection is changed using BICO technology, by entering, at
the operator control device, the number of another technological
connector @TC_nnnn as parameter value.

NOTE • The maximum number of interconnections of different inputs which
are changed with BICO technology, which are saved in the change
memory, are, for
− technology module T400: approx. 1600
− Application module FM 458: approx. 400
− CPU module in the SIMADYN D subrack: approx. 400
• Using BICO- technology, you can only change existing
interconnections between block I/O, but you cannot delete them.
• Using BICO technology, you cannot establish a new
interconnection at inputs which are not connected.
• Changes made to the interconnections of block I/O using BICO
technology, are only effective when updating the project in the CFC,
if they were saved.
• For changes made to the interconnections of block I/O using BICO
technology, when type checking the connections, the same rules
apply as for CFC.
!
CAUTION The pseudo comment @DATX is not supported by the CFC test mode.
When changing an interconnection, where @DATX is available as
pseudo comment at the block input, the value for this connection is
updated again, but still maintaining the data consistency mechanisms.
Thus, the pseudo comment @DATX is no longer valid.

4.6.1.4 Identifying SIMADYN D components
To identify components, “DRIVE Monitor“ evaluates technology parmeters
d998 (1998) and d999 (1999).
d998 Device Special feature
80 SIMADYN D,
general
The parameter range, especially extended for SIMADYN D up to 16 *
2000 parameters, applies.
Parameters are possible in the basic device parameter range (0 ..
999). This means, an identification can result in a random product if a
parameter just by chance coincides with the identification parameter
and value of a drive converter/inverter.
134 T400 / Parameter range = technology parameters
(1000 .. 1999; 3000 .. 3999)
134 FM 458/
SRT400
Parameter ranges, the function can be set at the central FB
• BASEBOARD: 0 ... 999; 2000 ... 2999
• TECHBOARD: 1000 ... 1999; 3000 ... 3999
Prerequisite: The user selects SIMADYN D or SRT400 and goes online
with the device type.
Dependig on the selected device type, DriveMonitor checks the
identification parameter d998. If the identification was successful, it is not
checked as to whether another device can be recognized.
1. User selects SIMADYN D: If d998 = 80, then the identification routine
is considered to have been successful.
2. User selects SRT400: If d998 = 134, then the identification routine is
considered to have been successful. This means that the user can
only address the technology, also independently of the basic device!
The following is still valid: Parameter d999 is optional to identify the
software version and release of standard software packages.
d999 Software Examples
1AB Angular synchronism, version A.Bx
(x is used to number compatible versions)
120 → SPA440 V2.0x
123 → SPA440 V2.3x
2AB Axial winder, version A.Bx 221 → SPW420 V2.1x
3AB Cross-cutter/closed-loop shears control,
version A.Bx
310 → SPS450 V1.0x
If the device identification is not successful, then an attempt is made to
identify the known devices types.
If “DRIVE Monitor“ recognizes a different software (d999), the “Create
database” option is listed in the “Device identification” dialog box. This
means that a specific database can be set-up.

5 ESD guidelines
5.1 What does ESD mean?
Almost all of the SIMADYN D modules are equipped with highly integrated
blocks. These blocks and modules are extremely sensitive to
overvoltages and therefore to electrostatic discharge.
The abbreviations stands for electrostatic discharge
Modules which contain these components are identified with the following
warning label on the component side:
ATTENTION ACHTUNG
Observe Precautions
for Handling Nur geschultes Personal
darf die Verpackung öffnen
Electrostatic Sensitive
Devices (ESD)
Elektrostatisch gefährdete
Bauelemente (EGB)
ORIGINAL PACKING
Components which are sensitive to electrostatic discharge can be
destroyed by voltages and energy levels which lie far below the perception
level of humans. Voltages such as these even occur if a person, who has
not been electrically discharged, comes into contact or touches a
component or a module. Components which have been subject to
overvoltages such as these, generally cannot be immediately identified as
having been damaged. This only becomes obvious after a somewhat
longer operating time.
ESD
ESD guidelines

Application Module FM 458 - User Manual
6DD1904-0AE0 Edition 12.2001
5.1.1 Handling ESD boards
• Electronic boards should only be touched/handled if absolutely
necessary.
• Components/devices may only be touched/handled if
− you are continuously grounded through an ESD arm band
− or you are wearing ESD shoes or ESD shoe grounding strips.
• The human body must be electrically discharged before
touching/handling an electronics board. This can be simply done by
touching a conductive, grounded object immediately beforehand (e.g.
bare metal cabinet parts, water pipes etc.).
• Boards may not come into contact with highly-insulating materials
which can be statically charged-up - e.g. plastic foils, insulating
desktops, articles of clothing manufactured from man-made fibers.
• Boards may only be placed down on conductive surfaces (desktop
with ESD surface, conductive ESD foam rubber, ESD packing bags,
ESD transport containers, board- or paper surfaces).
• It is not permissible to bring boards close to monitors or TV sets.
5.1.2 Measuring and modifying ESD boards
• Measurements may only be carried-out on boards if
− the measuring equipment is grounded (via the protective
conductor) or
− before making a measurement with an ungrounded instrument, the
probe must be briefly discharged (e.g. by briefly touching a bare-
metal control housing).
When soldering, only a grounded soldering iron may by used.

5.1.3 Shipping ESD boards
Modules and electronic components should generally be packed in
electrically conducting containers (such as metallized plastic boxes or
metal canisters) before being stored or shipped.
If the use of non-conducting packing containers cannot be avoided,
modules must be wrapped in a conducting material before being put into
such containers. Examples of such materials include electrically
conducting foam rubber or household aluminum foil.
The protective measures necessary when dealing with electrostatic
sensitive devices are illustrated in the following diagram.
