View source for S7-SoftPLC:cifX settings of IBHsoftec S7-SoftPLC

In the section [CIFX] the specific settings of the cifX-cards are performed.

==== General part ====

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Keyname !! Value range !! Default value !! Description
|-
|style="width:10em"| ConfiguredBoards ||style="width:10em"| 0 .. 4 ||style="width:10em"| 0 || Number of cifX-cards used in the PLC
|-
| SFCInst || 0 / 1 || 0 || Show cifX SFCs in PLCs blocklist
0 = No, 1 = Yes
|-
| ShowFC || 0 / 1 || 0(SFC) || Defines, whether the Status SFC and the Control SFC are shown as SFC or FC in the block directory of the PLC. TypeFC=1 shows the blocks as FC. This has the advantage that empty blocks in the PLC-program can be created and the parameters can be given reasonable names. When creating a block header care must be taken, that the data types and the IN/OUT areas are identical with the PLC blocks. 
When the blocks (FC) are transferred to the PLC via PU, the PLC keeps the internal blocks.
|-
| SFCCommand || 0 ..  || 1008 || Defines the number of the Command SFC
|-
| SFCBusDiag || 0 ..  || 1009 || Defines the number of the Control SFC BusDiagnostic SFC
|-
| BSFCMessage || 0 ..  || 1010 || Defines the number of the Message SFC
|-
| SFC1415 || 0 / 1 || 0 || 1 = Show SFC 14/15 from this driver
diagnostic capabilities = general errors
|-
| SFC1415BoardNo || 0 .. 3 || 0 || SFC 14/15 is active on cifX board number
|-
| SFC1415ChannelNo || 0 .. 3 || 0 || SFC 14/15 is active on cifX channel number
|}

==== Card specific settings ====

The described parameters concern the specific cifX board settings and are in given form: &quot;B##Parametername&quot;, where &quot;##&quot; represents a two digit placeholder for the consecutively numbered boardnumber and &quot;Parametername&quot; represents the Keyname

'''Example:'''
 B00No=3
 B00ConfChans=1
 B01No=1
 B01ConfChans=1

|-
! Keyname !! Value range !! Default value !! Description
|-
|style="width:10em"| B##No ||style="width:10em"| 0 .. 3 ||style="width:10em"| 0 || cifX-board number as reported from Hilscher driver Treiber in "cifX-Setup"
|-
| B##ConfChans || 0 .. 3 || 0 || Number of used channels of board ##
|}


==== Channel specific settings ====

The described parameters concern the specific channel settings of cifX boards and are in given form: &quot;B##C##Parametername&quot;, where &quot;##&quot; represents a two digit placeholder, B## for the consecutively numbered board number, C## for the consecutively numbered channel number and &quot;Parametername&quot; represents the key.

'''Example:'''
 B00C00No=3
 B00C00NoStop=1
 B00C01No=1
 B00C01NoStop=0

! Keyname !! Value range !! Default value !! Description
|-
|style="width:10em"| B##C##No ||style="width:14em"| 0 .. 3 ||style="width:10em"| 0 || Channel number of board as reported by Hilscher driver in "cifX-Setup"
|-
| B##C##NoStop || 0 / 1 || 0 || 1=Prevents, that the bus is stopped at PLC Stop by the watchdog. The outputs are programmed set to 0.
The Hilscher card is initialized when starting the PLC or changing the system data. At Run/Stop, no further initialization is performed.
|-
| B##C##BusType || PB, PN, ECAT, EIP, MODB, NONE || NONE || Bustype of cifX channel
|-
| B##C##NXDPath || Absolut Path  ||  || Loads the NXD on startup of S7-SoftPLC from given path in current channel of the cifX board. NXD file is the busconfiguration of the cifX channel build by SyCon.NET and manually exported.
