1.2.2 AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271

1.2.2.1 Use of the AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271

The AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271 is required as an accessory to the AS-i master

CM 1243-2 if:

● an AS-i power supply unit is not integrated into the bus

● and power is supplied from a standard power supply unit.

In order to supply the AS-Interface from a standard power supply unit, a data decoupling unit

must be connected between the voltage supply and AS-i network (AS-i Power 24 V).

Note

Several CM 1243-2 AS-i masters in one automation system

If several CM 1243-2 AS-i masters are operated in one automation system, each

AS-i master will need its own AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271.

Integrated ground fault detection

With the help of the AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271, ground faults can be detected on

the AS-i cable. The information can be transferred to the S7-1200 CPU via terminals.

Overload protection

The AS-i data decoupling unit has integrated overload protection.

When there is a short circuit or overload on an AS-i cable, the relevant AS-i line is switched

off (electronic transistor output) and is thereby decoupled from the power source (selectivity).

The restart occurs automatically after about 5 seconds.

Manual, 04/2013, A5E02655230010A/RS-AA/003 15

AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271

The AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271 has no connection to the S7 communication bus.

The AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271 must therefore always be plugged into the left of

the last of up to three communication modules. When different communication modules are

used, it is recommended that the AS-i master CM 1243-2 is inserted to the left of the other

communication modules and the AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271 is inserted directly

onto the AS-i master CM 1243-2.

For further information on ground fault detection, see

section "Detecting ground faults with DCM 1271

(Page 35)".

5 Switch on the power supply.

6 Close the front covers of the module and keep them

closed during operation.

The AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271 cannot be

configured in STEP 7.

4.5 Detecting ground faults with DCM 1271

With the help of the AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271, ground faults can be detected on

the AS-i bus and this information can be transferred to the S7-1200 for further processing.

A fault is detected when a connection to ground potential is detected on one of the

AS-i cables (ASI+ or ASI-). This is signaled via the output with the terminal designation "DQ".

For this purpose, this output must be connected to a spare digital input "DI" of the S7-1200.

The terminal "2M" must be connected to the ground connection for the inputs. The positive

potential of the incoming supply must be connected to "2L+".

Terminals "2M" and "2L+" are galvanically isolated from "1M" and "1L+", which enables you

to use different power supplies for the inputs and for the operation of the AS-i data

decoupling unit DCM 1271.

Signal status

The output "DQ" is connected to "2L+" in the case of a ground fault. In this state, the signal

information "1" is available for further processing in the user program of the CPU.

Acknowledgement of the ground fault is not necessary, because the output is automatically

reset after the problem has been rectified, i.e. the connection between "2L+" and "DQ" is

disconnected.

System assignment for logical addresses

During basic configuration, the parameter "System assignment" is automatically activated by

STEP 7. This ensures that the system will automatically assign AS-i slave addresses to

logical I/O addresses.

A 62 byte address range is reserved by the AS-i master CM 1243-2 and you can specify its

position in the process image with the "I/O addresses" settings.

When system assignment is activated, the assignment of AS-i address to logical I/O address

is shown in STEP 7:

If you do not configure any slaves, you must inform the AS-i master CM 1243-2 about the

actual bus configuration using the online function "ACTUAL > PLANNED" in STEP 7. See

section "Loading the slave configuration (Page 45)".

5.3 Configuring AS-i slaves

Advantages of configuring the slaves:

If you configure the AS-i slaves (optional), you specify in STEP 7 those stations with which

the AS-i master should communicate. There is then no need to load the slave configuration

using the online function ACTUAL -> PLANNED.

● AS-i slaves are displayed in the network view complete with relevant AS-i addresses

● The slave parameters can be configured.

● The configuration of the I/O data of a slave is displayed.

● Access to analog AS-i slaves is possible via the process image of the PLC.

● Diagnostic information is displayed in the form of an icon on the AS-i slave in the network

view

● For smaller configurations, fewer I/O addresses are required in the S7-1200 than are

provided in the basic configuration.

Points to note when configuring the SIRIUS M200D Standard motor starter

The SIRIUS M200D Standard motor starter can also be parameterized via AS-Interface. In

combination with the AS-i master CM 1243-2, this can be performed in STEP 7 directly. It is

no longer necessary to execute the parameterization procedure via the PLC program.

The parameters are now set in the inspector window of the M200D motor starter in the

section "Module parameters". Please ensure here that the setting "Wait for data record

parameters" under "Options" is activated.

For parameter assignment in STEP 7, an M200D motor starter with one of the following

product versions is required:

Table 5- 1 Firmware requirements

Order number Product version

3RK1325-6.S41-.AA. E08

3RK1325-6.S71-.AA. E07

Note

Firmware requirements

If your connected M200D motor starter is based on an older product version, you should

deactivate parameter assignment in STEP 7. This is done in the inspector window of the

M200D.

Deactivation is also necessary when you decide to set the parameters using the "Motor

starter ES" software.

Manual, 04/2013, A5E02655230010A/RS-AA/003 41

Note

A configuration of the AS-i slaves specified through STEP 7 and downloaded into the S7

station is transferred by the CPU on the AS-i master CM 1243-2 during S7 station start-up.

Any existing configuration that was determined via the online function

"ACTUAL -> PLANNED" will be overwritten.

Procedure

To configure the AS-i slaves, open the hardware catalog in STEP 7. You will find the

AS-i slaves under "Field devices".

Three basic types are available:

● Universal AS-i slave (for standard and A/B slaves)

● Universal AS-i F-slave (for Safety At Work applications)

● Siemens AS-i slave

Note

Using AS-i slaves from Siemens

When you use AS-i slaves from Siemens, you can select the slave directly from the

hardware catalog.

To configure an AS-i slave from another manufacturer, you must use the universal

AS-i slave or the universal AS-i F-slave.

If an AS-i slave is assigned to the AS-i master in STEP 7, the system will automatically

deactivate the "System assignment" parameter of the AS-i master. The 62 byte long address

area is also canceled in this case, because when a slave is configured it is assigned to a

specific I/O address.

Configuring the properties of universal AS-i slaves

If you are configuring with the universal AS-i slave or universal AS-i F slave, you can set the

following parameters:

● Profile ID of the AS-i slave

● Parameters of the AS-i slave

● Logical I/O address of the AS-i slave

You will find the profile ID and meaning of the AS-i slave parameters in the documentation

for the AS-i slaves.

42 Manual, 04/2013, A5E02655230010A/RS-AA/003

The I/O assignment of the slaves is displayed in the section "Configuration" in accordance

with the parameterized profile ID.

Configuring the properties of Siemens AS-i slaves

When you use an AS-i slave from Siemens, you can select the slave directly from the

hardware catalog.

The differences as compared to the universal AS-i slave are as follows:

● The device type is represented as a symbol

● The meaning of the slave parameters is displayed as text.

● The underlying slave profile is already set. The IO, ID and ID2 identifiers do not need to

be entered.

Setting the logical I/O addresses of AS-i slaves.

When slaves are configured, each one receives a specific, logical I/O address. This is

displayed in the inspector window in STEP 7 and can be changed as required.

5.4 Online functions 
5.4.1 Operating modes of the AS-i master CM 1243-2 
The AS-i master CM 1243-2 has two operating modes: 
● Configuration mode 
● Protected mode 
Configuration mode   
Configuration mode is used for commissioning an AS-i installation. 
You switch the AS-i master CM 1243-2 in STEP 7 from protected mode (productive 
operation) to configuration mode. (The LED "CM" is lit green) 
In configuration mode, the AS-i master CM 1243-2 can exchange data with any AS-i slave 
connected to the AS-i cable, except for AS-i slaves with address "0". Newly added 
AS-i slaves are immediately detected, activated and included in cyclic data exchange by the 
master.  
In configuration mode, alarms relating to AS-i slave configuration errors are not transferred 
to the S7-1200. 
In this mode, the DIAG LED is also not lit up in red. 
 
Protected mode   
Changeover from "Configuration mode" to "Protected mode" is performed in STEP 7. In 
"Protected mode" the AS-i master CM 1243-2 only exchanges data with the configured 
AS-i slaves. Configuration can be performed either via STEP 7 (Configuring AS-i slaves 
(Page 40)) or by executing the function "ACTUAL-->PLANNED" (Accessing AS-i analog data 
via acyclic services (Page 52)).

5.4.2 Switching operating mode

In STEP 7 "Online" > "Diagnostics" it is possible to switch between protected mode and

configuration mode in the "Functions" section. There are two buttons:

● "Configuration mode"

● "Protected mode"

It can be determined from the LEDs on the AS-i master CM 1243-2, and in STEP 7, which

mode the AS-i master is in. Further information can be found in section "LEDs of the AS-i

master CM 1243-2 (Page 18)".

The operating mode can only be switched when the S7-1200 CPU is in STOP.

Note

Online functions

The online functions can only be performed when at least the basic configuration has been

completed and the S7-1200 station has been loaded.

5.4.3 Loading the slave configuration

Application

This step is only necessary if no AS-i slaves have been configured in STEP 7.

If a slave configuration has already been loaded into the AS-i master CM 1243-2, the

function for loading the slave configuration will be deactivated by the system and can

therefore not be selected.

Prerequisite

The following preconditions must be satisfied to do this:

● The CPU must be in Stop.

● The AS-i master CM 1243-2 must be in configuration mode and must be connected to the

bus. The correct addresses must have been assigned to the AS-i slaves.

Loading the slave configuration

The "ACTUAL -> PLANNED" button can be clicked in the window "Online" > "Diagnostics" to

enable the AS-i master CM 1243-2 to load the configuration of the slaves connected to the

master.

When the function is completed, the CER indication is switched off.

In protected mode the AS-i master CM 1243-2 then only exchanges I/O data with the

detected AS-i slaves.

The following data of the AS-i slaves is saved in non-volatile memory in the AS-i master

CM 1243-2:

● AS-i addresses

● ID codes

● I/O configuration

The button is deactivated if a slave configuration has already been loaded into the

AS-i master CM 1243-2 or the CPU is in "RUN". You can activate the function "ACTUAL -

configuration only - that is without configured AS-i slaves - in STEP 7.

5.4.4 Addressing an AS-i slave

A new address can be assigned to an AS-i slave using a selection menu and the button

"Assign AS-i address" in the window "Online" > "Diagnostics". Only free AS-i addresses are

available here.

Data exchange between the user program and AS-i

slaves 6

In this section you will find information required to access the data of the AS-i slaves from

the AS user program via the AS-i master CM 1243-2. This concerns the transfer of binary

and analog values of the standard or A/B slaves via the AS I/O.

The logical addresses required for this purpose are indicated in STEP 7.

6.1 Transferring AS-i digital values

The S7-1200 CPU accesses the digital inputs and outputs of the AS-i slaves via the

AS-i master CM 1243-2 in cyclic operation. The data is accessed via I/O addresses or by

means of a data record transfer.

6.1.1 Addressing the AS-i slaves

Access to the bits of the AS-i slaves depends on whether the AS-i slaves where configured

in STEP 7 or not.

Access without configuration of the AS-i slaves with STEP 7

If you have not configured the AS-i slaves in STEP 7, you can access the AS-i digital values

via the I/O area of the SIMATIC.

In this case STEP 7 automatically activates the "System assignment" parameter which

causes a 62 byte long I/O area to be reserved in the SIMATIC. STEP 7 basic configuration

(Page 38)

Within the I/O area, the digital data is accessed in bytes, i.e. one byte is assigned to each

AS-i digital slave. In each case, one byte of output data and one byte of input data is

reserved.

You can access the data of the AS-i slaves in the user program by means of the displayed

I/O addresses with the appropriate bit logic operations (e.g. "AND") or bit assignments.

Access with configuration of the AS-i slaves with STEP 7

When you configure the AS-i slaves in STEP 7, the I/O address for accessing the data from

the user program is displayed in the inspector window for the respective AS-i slave.

You can access the data of the AS-i slaves in the user program by means of the displayed

I/O addresses with the appropriate bit logic operations (e.g. "AND") or bit assignments.

6.1.2 Special characteristics of Combined Transaction Type Slaves

If you are using the AS-i slaves in accordance with CTT1 ... 5, the "I/O bits" may be used for

special transfer functions. For further details, please refer to the documentation of the

respective AS-i slave.

The following applies to these protocol bits:

● In the input direction, the AS-i master CM 1243-2 sets the value "0".

● In the output direction, the AS-i master CM 1243-2 ignores the bits.

For a description of how to access the AS-i analog slaves, see section "Transferring AS-i

analog values (Page 51)".

6.2 Cyclic transfer of the slave data in the process image 
To access the AS-i slave data in the user program via simple commands (e.g. AND 
operations), corresponding input and output addresses are required. 
If slave configuration has been performed, these addresses can be found in the inspector 
window for the respective slave. 
If you have only performed basic configuration, you can find the addresses of the digital 
AS-i slaves in the properties dialog of the AS-i master.  
Access to the values of analog AS-i slaves is only possible via the I/O commands if the 
AS-i slave was configured. In the case of basic configuration, you can only access the data 
via the data record interface (Accessing AS-i analog data via acyclic services (Page 52)).

Representation of the analog values or the transparent values

The analog values are to be interpreted as 16-bit values in two's complement.

Information about the channel number and resolution is displayed for universal AS-i slaves in

STEP 7 in the field "Configuration".

Information about the data framework of transparent I/O data is also displayed here. In this

type of transfer, the data for the AS-i master is "transparent", i.e. it is transferred from the

AS-i slave to the controller without interpretation of its contents.

For further information about the value range, measuring range and accuracy of the analog

slaves as well as the meaning of transparent data, please refer to the respective

documentation of the AS-i slaves.

6.3.1 Accessing AS-i analog data via acyclic services

If you want to access the data of an analog AS-i slave, but have not configured it in STEP 7

(see section "STEP 7 basic configuration (Page 38)"), you can use the data record interface

(see section "Using the data record interface (Page 55)").

Before the AS-i master 1243-2 can exchange data with the non-configured AS-i slave, the

function "ACTUAL -> PLANNED" must be performed in protected mode (Section "Loading

the slave configuration (Page 45)").

Note

Write accessing of the analog data of an AS-i slave cannot be performed if the slave was

configured using STEP 7.

7.2.1 Description of the AS-i line calls and AS-i slave calls 
Overview 
The calls that the CPU of the S7 1200 can issue to the AS-i master CM 1243-2 are 
described below. With these calls, the AS-i master CM 1243-2 makes the complete 
functional scope of the master profile M4 available to the AS-i master specification.  
The calls that can be executed are listed in the following tables: 
● The table "AS-i line calls" contains the calls for the "AS-i line" level. 
● The table "AS-i slave calls" contains the calls for the "AS-i slave" level. 
● The table "AS-i slave calls for slaves according to AS-i specification V3.0 (CTT1, CTT2)" 
contains the calls for the "AS-i slave" level, which are only supported by slaves according 
to AS-i specification V3.0 (CTT slaves).

7.2.2 AS-i line calls

7.2.2.1 Configuring actual parameter values (Store_Actual_Parameters)

Meaning

With this call, the current parameters of the AS-i slave are written from the volatile memory

of the AS-i master CM 1243-2 to its retentive memory.

In the factory setting, the bits of the AS-i slave parameters in the AS-i master CM 1243-2 are

all assigned the value 1.

The following information must be transferred to the "WRREC" instruction as parameters.

● INDEX:7

● RECORD:2 bytes

You can find information about "Parameters" and the ID codes for the "Configuration" (I/O

configuration, ID code, ID1 code, and ID2 code) in the manual "AS-Interface − Introduction

and Basic Information" (Order No: 6GK1 971-2SA01-0AA0). The manual is available on the

Internet (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/5581657).

Exceptions

There are a few AS-i slave types for which the AS-i master administers the slave

parameterization itself. The configured parameters for these AS-i slaves are always equal to

FH.

62 Manual, 04/2013, A5E02655230010A/RS-AA/003

7.2.2.2 Configuring actual configuration data (Store_Actual_Configuration)

Meaning

With this call, the (ACTUAL) configuration data of all AS-i slaves determined in the

AS-Interface (I/O configuration, ID code, ID1 code, and ID2 code) are stored in non-volatile

memory as (PLANNED) configuration data. The list of activated AS-i slaves (LAS) is also

accommodated into the list of configured AS-i slaves (LPS).

When this call is executed, the AS-i master CM 1243-2 switches to the offline phase and

switches back to normal mode again (restart of the AS-i line).

The function can be called using two different data records: If Index 10 is used, the call is

performed only if the AS-i master is in the configuration mode.

If Index 93 is used, the call is performed also in protected mode.

Independent of the index used, the function cannot be performed when an AS-i slave

configuration has already been specified with STEP 7 and loaded into the AS-i master.

Two bytes of version information must be transferred as useful data for the utility WRREC -

Index 10 / 93. These two bytes must be filled with "0".

7.2.2.3 Configure LPS (Set_LPS)

Meaning

This call transfers the list of configured AS-i slaves for non-volatile storage in the master.

When this call is executed, the AS-i master CM 1243-2 switches to the offline phase and

switches back to normal mode again (restart of the AS-i line).

This call is not executed in protected mode.

The function cannot be performed when an AS-i slave configuration has already been loaded

from STEP 7 into the AS-i master CM 1243-2.

Meaning of the flags

Flag Meaning

CONFIG_OK The flag is set when the planned configuration (configured) and the actual

configuration match.

LDS_0 The flag is set if an AS-i slave with operating address 0 is available.

AUTO_ADDR_ASSIGN The flag is set if automatic address programming is possible

(i.e. SET_AUTO_ADDR_ENABLE = 1 and no "incorrect" AS-i slave is connected to

AS-Interface).

AUTO_ADDR_AVAIL The flag is set if automatic address programming can be performed (i.e. exactly one

AS-i slave has currently failed).

OPERATING MODE The flag is set in configuration mode and reset in protected mode.

NORMAL_OPERATION The flag is set when the AS-i master CM 1243-2 is in normal operation.

(The flag is set when the link is in normal operation)

APF The flag is set if the voltage on the AS-i cable is too low.

OFFLINE_READY The flag is set if the offline phase is active.

PERIPHERY_OK The flag is set if at least one AS-i slave signals a peripheral fault.

DATA_EXCHANGE_ACTIVE The flag "DATA_EXCHANGE_ACTIVE" is set when cyclic data traffic is in normal

operation.

OFFLINE The flag is set if the operating status OFFLINE is to be adopted or has already been

adopted.

AUTO_ADDR_ENABLE The flag indicates whether automatic address programming by the user is disabled

(BIT = 0) or enabled (BIT = 1).

EPROM_OK The flag is set if the EPROM of the device is OK.

7.2.2.5 Read complete configuration (Get_LAS_CDI_PI_Flags)

Meaning

The following data is read from the AS-i master CM 1243-2 with this call:

● The list of active AS-i slaves (LAS). It specifies which of the connected AS-i slaves are

activated.

● The current configuration data of the connected AS-i slaves (I/O configuration, ID code,

ID1 code, ID2 code);

● The current parameters of the AS-i slaves (actual parameters);

● The current flags.

The call can be used, for example, to determine the configuration of the stations

connected to the AS-i cable after commissioning.

These read-in configuration data can be modified if required and stored in the

AS-i master CM 1243-2 as the planned configuration with the command "Configure

complete configuration" (see section "Configure complete configuration

(Set_LPS_PCD_PP_Flags) (Page 70)").

7.2.2.6 Configure complete configuration (Set_LPS_PCD_PP_Flags)

Meaning

With this call, the desired overall configuration of the AS-Interface is transferred to the

AS-i master CM 1243-2 and stored in non-volatile memory as the planned configuration.

This configures the AS-i master CM 1243-2.

Specifically, the following data are transferred:

● The list of configured AS-i slaves that defines which AS-i slaves may be activated by the

AS-i master CM 1243-2 in protected mode;

● The list of configuration data which specifies which ID codes and which I/O configuration

the connected AS-i slaves must have;

● The list of the AS-i slave parameters that have been configured in the AS-i master

CM 1243-2 and stored in non-volatile memory. These parameters are transferred to the

AS-i slaves when the AS-i master CM 1243-2 starts up;

● The flags that determine the operating state of the AS-i master CM 1243-2 after startup.

Exceptions

There are a few AS-i slave types for which the AS-i master CM 1243-2 administers the slave

parameterization itself. The configured parameters for these AS-i slaves are always equal to

FH. The parameter values specified in the call are ignored by the AS-i master CM 1243-2 for

these slave types.

The function cannot be performed when an AS-i slave configuration has already been loaded

from STEP 7 into the AS-i master CM 1243-2.

7.2.2.7 Set operating mode (Set_Operation_Mode)

Meaning

You can choose between "Configuration mode" and "Protected mode" with this call.

In protected mode (operating mode), only those AS-i slaves are activated that are marked in

the LPS and whose actual and planned configurations match, i.e. if the I/O configuration and

the ID codes of the detected AS-i slaves are identical to the configured values.

In configuration mode, all the detected AS-i slaves are activated (with the exception of

AS-i slave "0"). AS-i slaves which differ in their actual and planned configurations are also

activated.

The bit "OPERATING MODE" is saved in non-volatile memory, i.e. its setting is retained

even after start-up / restart.

The following bit assignment applies to the operating mode:

● Protected mode: "0"

● Configuration mode: "1"

On changeover from configuration mode to protected mode, the AS-i master is restarted

(transition to the offline phase and subsequent changeover to online mode).

Note

If an AS-i slave with the operating address 0 is entered in the LDS, the AS-i master CM

1243-2 cannot switch from configuration mode to protected mode.

7.2.2.8 Set offline mode (Set_Offline_Mode)

Meaning

This call switches between online and offline mode.

Online mode

Online mode is the normal mode for the AS-i master. The following jobs are processed

cyclically here:

● In the "data exchange phase", the fields of the output data are transferred to the slave

outputs for all activated AS-i slaves. In error-free transmission, the addressed AS-i slaves

transfer the values of the slave inputs to the master.

● This is followed by the "acceptance phase" in which a search is made for the available

AS-i slaves and newly added AS-i slaves are accepted into the LDS or LAS.

● In the "management phase", jobs forwarded by the user, such as writing parameters, are

executed.

Offline mode

In offline mode, the AS-i master CM 1243-2 only processes calls from the user. Calls that

immediately activate an AS-i slave are rejected with an error. Cyclic data exchange is not

performed with the AS-i slaves.

Bit assignment

The following bit assignment applies to online/offline mode:

● Online mode: "0"

● Offline mode: "1"

The bit OFFLINE = TRUE is not permanently stored, i.e. following a start/restart, the

AS-i master CM 1243-2 returns to online mode.

7.2.2.9 Change AS-i slave address (Change_Slave_Address)

Meaning

This call can be used to change the AS-i address of an AS-i slave.

This call is used predominantly for adding a new AS-i slave with the default address "0" to

the AS-Interface. In this case, the address is changed from the "AS-i slave address, old"

(= 0) to the "AS-i slave address, new".

The change is only executed if the following conditions are met:

1. An AS-i slave with the "AS-i slave address, old" must exist.

2. When changing the AS-i slave address, the address is initially set to "0". No other slave

with the address "0" may be connected.

3. "AS-i slave address, new" must have a valid value.

4. An AS-i slave with "AS-i slave address, new" must not already exist.

3 AS-i address new

To address slaves with a "B" address, you must add the value "32" to the AS-i address.

Example: The AS-i slave with address "1B" must be changed to address "2B". In this case,

the value "33" must be transferred as "AS-i address old" and the value "34" as "AS-i address

new".

7.2.2.10 Automatic address programming (Set_Auto_Addr_Enable)

Meaning

The function "Automatic address programming" can be enabled or disabled for the

AS-i slave of a line with this call (see also section "Replacing a defective AS-i slave /

automatic address programming (Page 105)").

● Mode = 0: Automatic address programming disabled

● Mode = 1: Automatic address programming enabled

The bit "Set_Auto_Addr_Enable" is saved in non-volatile memory, i.e. its setting is retained

even after start-up/restart of the AS-i master.

7.2.2.11 Write AS-i slave extended ID1 (Write_Extended_ID−Code_1)

Meaning

The extended ID1 code of an AS-i slave with the address "0" can be directly written via the

AS-i cable with this call.

The AS-i master forwards the extended ID1 code to the AS-i slave without validity check.

The ID1 code is stored in the AS-i slave in non-volatile memory. In the AS-i master, the ID1

code is stored in CDI (RAM) non-retentively.

Mapping of the analog values in the data record on accessing the complete line

You can use analog value access to the complete AS-i line to save I/O address space in the

S7 station.

For each slave address, an area of 8 bytes is used to administer four analog channels. The

table below shows the address area of the data record into which the analog values from a

specific AS-i slave are transferred.

The table applies equally to the analog input area and to the analog output area.

Meaning

This call configures a parameter value for the specified AS-i slave in the

AS-i master CM 1243-2. The value is saved in non-volatile memory of the

AS−i master CM 1243-2.

The configured parameter is not transferred to the AS-i slave immediately by the

AS-i master CM 1243-2.

After the call, the AS-i master CM 1243-2 switches to offline mode and switches back to

normal mode again (restart of the AS-i master).

For some AS-i slave profiles (Combined Transaction Type), the AS-i master CM 1243-2

itself administers the AS-i slave parameterization. In these cases, the parameters in the call

are ignored.

Meaning

The parameters transferred in the call are forwarded to the addressed AS-i slave. The

parameters are stored in non-volatile memory on the AS-i master CM 1243-2.

The AS-i slave transfers its current status as a parameter echo in the response. The

response can deviate from the value just written.

Exceptions

There are a few AS-i slave types for which the AS-i master administers the slave

parameterization itself. The configured parameters for these AS-i slaves are always equal to

FH. For these slaves, the AS-i master itself administers the AS-i slave parameterization.

7.2.3.12 Write CTT2 request (Write_CTT2_String)

Meaning

This call is used to send a CTT2 request according to the AS-i slave profile

"CombinedTransationType2" to the AS-i master with a byte string. The master forwards the

string bytes to the AS-i slave address specified in the send buffer.

A string with up to 220 bytes is transferred to the AS-i master with this call. The AS-i master

calculates the actual number of string bytes to be sent to the AS-i slave from byte 2 of the

send buffer (number of string bytes). The number of string bytes is specified by the user

program.

The addressed AS-i slave responds to the CTT2 request with a CTT2 response. This

response can be fetched using the call "Read CTT2 request".

The structure of the CTT2 request or CTT2 response (code, index, etc.) begins with string

byte 1. You will find further information about this in the respective AS-i slave description.

While the string transfers are executed on AS-i, cyclic user data/analog data transfer does

not take place with the addressed AS-i slave (this does not apply to digital I/O bits).

The type of protocol used means that transfer of up to 200 bytes can take up to half a

minute.

Meaning

This call is used to read an acyclic CTT2 request from an AS-i slave according to the

AS-i slave profile "CombinedTransationType2".

The request that was written with the call "Write CTT2 request" (Index 31) is answered by

the slave. This response can be read using the call "Read CTT2 request (Index 31)". The

AS-i master transfers up to 223 bytes in the response, of which up to 220 are string bytes.

The actual number of string bytes contains Byte 2.

Only the most recent CTT2 response is read back in each case. If several

"Write_CTT2−String" calls are issued in succession, previous responses will be lost.

The structure of the CTT2 request or CTT2 response (code, index, etc.) begins with string

byte 1. You will find further information about this in the respective AS-i slave description.

While transmission of the string is executed on AS-i, there is no transfer of cyclic analog data

with the addressed AS-i slave. The type of protocol used means that transfer of up

Diagnostics 8

8.1 Overview

Diagnostics options

The following diagnostics options are available for the AS-i master CM 1243-2:

● LEDs on the module

● Diagnostics in STEP 7 (online presentation of the network and device view, diagnostics

buffer)

● Alarm messages in user program

● Creation of user-specific web pages via the web server of the S7-1200

You will find further information on the LED displays in sections "LEDs of the AS-i master CM

1243-2 (Page 18)" and "LEDs of the AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271 (Page 24)".

The diagnostic possibilities in STEP 7 and in the user program are described in the following

sections.

8.2 Diagnostics in STEP 7

Diagnostics in STEP 7

For diagnosing the AS-i master and the AS-i slave, STEP 7 must be switched to "Online"

status first. Use the STEP 7 function "Connect online" for this purpose.

If you have configured AS-i slaves in STEP 7, the diagnostic information about slaves can

also be displayed in STEP 7.

After the connection has been established, the status information of the AS-i slaves will be

displayed in the network view. The information of the AS-i master is displayed symbolically in

the device view. The status of these devices will also be displayed to the right of the device

in the project navigation by means of a symbol. For an explanation of the different status

symbols, please refer to the relevant tool tip.

8.2 Diagnostics in STEP 7

AS-i master CM 1243-2 and AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271 for SIMATIC S7-1200

100 Manual, 04/2013, A5E02655230010A/RS-AA/003

STEP 7 offers several possibilities for requesting the diagnostic information of the

AS-i master:

● In the network view of the device configuration, special diagnostic symbols indicate the

status of the AS-i master and the AS-i slave. Red symbols indicate an error, green

symbols indicate the "good" status for the devices.

● The same information is also indicated in the STEP 7 project tree. This provides a quick

overview of system status, because error information is transferred to the higher-level

components in accordance with the hierarchy. "Error in subordinate component" will

therefore be indicated by the status symbol for the S7-1200 CPU when one or more AS-

i slaves report an error.

● When an AS-i master is selected, you can open the "Online & Diagnostics" view. You can

start this from the menu "Online -> Online & Diagnostics". You can call up information

here concerning the status of the AS-i master.

● The control panel of the AS-i master can also be called up in this display. This shows the

status of the LEDs.

● All the relevant events are stored in the diagnostic buffer of the S7-1200 CPU. You can

display the diagnostic buffer in the "Online & Diagnostics" window for a selected S7-

1200 CPU.

Note

Diagnostics by means of the integrated LEDs

The AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271 is not configured in STEP 7, so no diagnostic

information can be called up there for this unit.

The AS-i data decoupling unit DCM 1271 can be diagnosed by means of the integrated

LEDs.

Signaling of a ground fault can also be transferred to a digital input of the S7-1200 via the

terminal described in section Displays and connections of the AS-i data decoupling unit

DCM 1271 (Page 23). The status can then be evaluated there in the user program.

8.3 Alarms

Alarms

The AS-i master CM 1243-2 sends a diagnostic interrupt request to the CPU in the following

situations:

● The AS-i master CM 1243-2 has detected a problem - for example, failure of a slave

(incoming event).

● The problem was rectified or no longer exists (outgoing event).

If OB 82 does not exist, this error is written in the diagnostics buffer. The CPU will not take

any action and does not switch to STOP.

If an OB 82 exists, the operating system responds to an incoming event by calling the

OB 82. The S7 CPU then interrupts the cyclic user program and enters the event in the

system diagnostics buffer as a "Module fault" message.

Some diagnostic information is provided in the local data of the OB 82 for the user (e.g.

Which module triggered the interrupt? What type of error has occurred?).

Following execution of the OB 82, the S7 CPU continues the cyclic program from the point of

interruption.

The events are listed below that trigger a diagnostic interrupt in the AS-i master CM 1243-2:

● AS-i master signals a configuration error (CER) in protected mode

● AS-i master detects a problem with the AS-i supply voltage (APF)

● One or more slaves signal an I/O fault (PF) to the AS-i master

● An error occurred on parameterizing an AS-i slave using CTT2 protocol

Slave-specific diagnostic interrupts (e.g. configuration errors) are signaled using the

hardware ID (HW ID) of the respective slave. You can read the hardware ID for a selected

AS-i slave from the inspector window in STEP 7:

If you have not configured any slaves in STEP 7, you will find the hardware IDs for the

slaves in the address overview of the inspector window:

Figure 8-2 Address overview of the inspector window

Line-specific diagnostic interrupts (e.g. AS-i POWER FAIL) are signaled using the hardware

ID (HW ID) of the AS-i interface. You will find this HW ID in the properties of the AS-i master:

8.3.1 Possible response to the diagnostic interrupt

Possible response to the diagnostic interrupt

Diagnostic events of the AS-i master and all AS-i slaves are signaled by means of OB 82

(e.g. no voltage on AS-Interface, I/O error).

Note

Diagnostic buffer

Please note that OB 82 is only called for the first error event. If an error from an AS-i slave is

already active, subsequent AS-i slave errors will only be indicated in the diagnostics buffer of

the CPU.

Diagnostic data records can be read out during program execution of the OB 82 block to

determine the cause of the interrupt.

See Section Diagnostic data records (Page 104) for an overview of these possibilities.

8.3.2 Interrupt response in different CM operating states

Interrupt response in different CM operating states

The AS-i master CM 1243-2 generates diagnostic interrupts that are triggered by external

alarm events, in protected mode only and not in configuration mode.

If the diagnostic interrupt cannot be activated (e.g. : when the S7-1200 is in STOP), the

event will only be indicated in the diagnostics buffer and via the LEDs of the

AS-i master CM 1243-2 and the S7-1200 CPU.

8.5 Diagnostics via the S7-1200 Web server

Diagnostics via the S7-1200 Web server

The Web server of the S7-1200 enables you to access data from Web pages regarding your

CPU and the connected components.

The Web server also enables user-defined Web pages to be integrated which display

contents of the CPU as well as the AS-i master CM 1243-2.

The diagnostic data of the AS-i master CM 1243-2 can also be read via the user program

interface (alarms, diagnostic data records) and integrated into the Web pages.

Any HTML authoring software can be used to create the Web pages – you can construct and

arrange the pages as you wish.

The connection between the Web page contents and the data of the user program is

established using "AWP commands" (Automation Web Pages) which you insert in your

HTML code.

A detailed description of these possibilities can be found in the system manual for S7-1200

in the section "Web server".

9.1 Replacing a defective AS-i slave / automatic address programming

Easy replacement of AS-i slaves

The "Automatic address programming" function makes it particularly easy for you to replace

defective AS-i slaves.

Note

It is important to note that "Automatic address programming" is only possible when the

AS-i master CM 1243-2 is in protected mode and only one AS-i slave of a particular type has

failed.

It is explained below how you can replace failed AS-i slaves easily using the "Automatic

address programming" function.

Recognizing a defective AS-i slave

In the case of a slave failure, the CER LED on the AS-i master CM 1243-2 is lit.

The front display of each AS-i slave has an LED, which signals the failure of the slave.

Replacing a defective AS-i slave

Replace the defective AS-i slave with an identical AS-i slave with address zero (setting in

delivery state).

For this slave, the AS-i master CM 1243-2 then programs the address of the original node

which has been replaced.

If no further faults are active, the AS-i LED returns to the color green.

Dependency of AS-i cycle time on the number of connected slaves

The AS-i cycle time is calculated using the following formula:

tcycl = (1 + Number of activated AS-i slaves) x 154 μs

Note

If two AS-i slaves with an extended address area occupy the same address (e.g. address 5A

and address 5B), this slave pair will be calculated as one AS-i slave in the above formula.

This is due to the fact that slave pairs with the same address are only addressed in alternate

cycles. The cycle time in the above formula therefore doubles for such slaves.

Glossary

APF

AS-i Power Fail. Flag or LED display that indicates that the supply voltage on the AS-i cable

is too low or has failed (e.g. failure of the AS-i power supply unit).

AS-i (AS-Interface)

Actuator-sensor interface. A networking system for the lowest field level of the automation

level. It is suitable for networking sensors and actuators with the controllers (previous

designation: SINEC S1).

AS-i A/B slave

AS-i A/B slaves use the extended address range. Two A/B slaves each (in pairs) can be

assigned to one address on AS-Interface; due to the address organization, up to 62 AS-i A/B

slaves can thus be connected to AS-Interface.

AS-i analog slave

AS-i analog slaves are special AS-i standard slaves that exchange analog values with the

AS-i master.

AS-i master

Via the AS-i master, the simplest binary sensors and actuators can be monitored and

controlled via AS-i modules or AS-i slaves.

A distinction is made between the standard AS-i master and the extended AS-i master.

AS-i module

A module concept is defined for AS-Interface that supports the modular interlinking of

AS-i slaves (e.g. sensors and actuators) via "AS-i modules".

These modules are of two types

The active AS-i module with integrated AS-i chip: This can be used to connect up to four

conventional sensors and four conventional actuators.

The passive AS-i module: This acts as a distributor and permits connection of up to four

sensors and actuators with integrated AS-i chip.

In accordance with the concept of the standard AS-i master and the extended AS-i master,

the AS-i slaves use either AS-i chips with standard functionality or extended functionality.

132 Manual, 04/2013, A5E02655230010A/RS-AA/003

AS-i slave

All stations that can be addressed by an AS-i master are referred to as AS-i slaves. AS-i

slaves are distinguished according to their design (AS-i modules as well as sensors or

actuators with integrated AS-i connection) and their addressing mode (AS-i standard slave

and AS-i A/B slave with extended addressing mode).

AS-i standard slave

The AS-i standard slave occupies one address on AS-Interface; due to the address

organization, up to 31 AS-i standard slaves can therefore be connected to AS-Interface.

Protected mode

In protected mode, the AS-i master only exchanges data with the configured AS-i slaves.

"Configured" means that the slave addresses and configuration data stored in the AS-i

master agree with the values of existing AS-i slaves.

Standard AS-i master

Up to 31 standard AS-i slaves or slaves with extended addressing mode (A slaves only) can

be connected to one standard AS-i master.
