S7-SoftPLC:cifX Basic configuration

From IBHsoftec Wiki English
Jump to: navigation, search

The basic configuration features of the cifX-cards are set here.

If no PROFIBUS® is used, the configuration has to be executed with the System Configurator SyCon.NET of Hilscher company.

How the driver is integrated into S7-SoftPLC is part of these instructions:


Using the SFC

Command SFC

Via the SFC 1008 it is possible to read multiple informations from the cifX-cards

CALL SFC/FC 1008
COMMAND  := 0 //INPUT DWORD
BOARD  := 0 //INPUT BYTE
CHANNEL  := 0 //INPUT BYTE
DATA  := P#DB10.DBX0.0 BYTE 100 //INPUT ANY
RET_VAL  := MW 0 //RESULT INT

Command Length ANY-Pointer Dataarea Description
1 24 Reads the SystemInformation from cifX-card
2 48 Reads the SystemInfoBlock from cifX-card
3 Reads the SystemChannelBlock from cifX-card
4 8 Reads the SystemControlBlock from cifX-card
5 64 Reads the SystemStatusBlock from cifX-card
6 165 Reads the ChannelInformation from cifX-card
7 64 Reads the CommonStatusBlock from cifX-card


Busdiagnose SFC

Via the SFC 1009 the CommonStatusBlock is read

CALL SFC/FC 1009
BOARD  := 0 //INPUT BYTE
CHANNEL  := 0 //INPUT BYTE
RET_VAL  := MW 0 //RESULT INT
COMCOS  := MD 2 //OUTPUT DWORD
COMSTATE  := MD 6 //OUTPUT DWORD
COMERROR  := MD 10 //OUTPUT DWORD
SLAVESTATE  := MD 14 //OUTPUT DWORD
SLAVEERROR  := MD 18 //OUTPUT DWORD
SLAVECONF  := MD 22 //OUTPUT DWORD
SLAVEACTIVE  := MD 26 //OUTPUT DWORD
SLAVEFAULT  := MD 30 //OUTPUT DWORD


Message SFC

Via SFC 1010 Messages are sent to cifX-card

CALL SFC/FC 1010
SEND  := 0 //INPUT BOOL
BOARD  := 0 //INPUT BYTE
CHANNEL  := 0 //INPUT BYTE
TIMEOUT  := 5 //OUTPUT DWORD
INDATA  := P#DB10.DBX0.0 BYTE 20 //INPUT ANY
OUTDATA  := P#DB0.DBX20.0 BYTE 20 //INPUT ANY
RET_VAL  := MW 0 //RESULT INT
BUSY  := M2.0 //OUTPUT BOOL
NDR  := M2.1 //OUTPUT BOOL
ERROR  := M2.2 //OUTPUT BOOL


SFC 14

Via the SFC "DPRD_DAT" inputs can be read out of the cifX dualport RAM

CALL SFC/FC 14
LADDR  := W#16#100 //INPUT WORD
RET_VAL  := MW 0 //RESULT INT
RECORD  := P#M 100.0 BYTE 1 //OUTPUT ANY

Parameter Type of data Description
LADDR WORD Start address of inputs to be read
RET_VAL INT 0 on success
RECORD ANY ANY-Pointer to readout data


SFC 15

Via the SFC "DPWR_DAT" outputs can be written into the cifX dualport RAM

CALL SFC/FC 15
LADDR  := W#16#100 //INPUT WORD
RECORD  := P#M 102.0 BYTE 1 //INPUT ANY
RET_VAL  := MW 0 //RESULT INT

Parameter Type of data Description
LADDR WORD Start address of outputs to be written
RECORD ANY ANY-Pointer on data to be written
RET_VAL INT 0 on success
