In this window the specific settings for the Hilscher cards (ISA, PCI, PCMCIA) are conducted. If several Hilscher cards are installed in the PC, the according drivers have to be integrated into S7-SoftPLC. Care must be taken, that the areas in the process image of the PLC do not overlap each other. This means, that if multiple CIF-cards are used, the settings for BitStart, BitEnd etc. have to be taken with great care.


Default

Sets all settings back to default values.


Display SFC14

Displays SFC14.


Display SFC15

Displays SFC15.


WARNING: IF MULTIPLE CIF-CARDS ARE RUNNING ON ONE SYSTEM, THE SFC 14 AND 15 OF ONLY ONE CIF-CARD ARE ALLOWED TO BE SHOWN!


Don't stop fieldbus on PLC stop (only for PU functions via DP)

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. If online functions are used via PROFIBUS® with S7 for Windows® or STEP®7, this option has to be activated.


Use default values for the process image

End address in the process image in the PLC: 511

End address of the PLC periphery area: 8192

All other values: 0


Show Status and Control SFC as FC

Defines, whether the StatusSFC and the ControlSFC appear as SFC or FC in the block directory. 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.


Status SFC Number (CIF Diagnostics)

Defines the number of the Status SFC.


Control SFC Number (CIF Special CIF functions)

Defines the number of the Control SFC.


Process image

To define the values for the process image manually, the option standard values for the process image has to be deactivated.
