Preface
Purpose
This manual provides you with a comprehensive overview of the organization
blocks (OB), system functions (SFC), system and standard function blocks (SFC),
and IEC functions contained in the operating systems of the CPUs of the S7-300
and S7-400, diagnostic data, system status lists (SZL), and events.
Note
Refer to the reference section of the "S7-300 Automation System
CPU Specifications: CPU 31xC and CPU 31x" and "S7-300 Automation System
CPU Specifications: CPU 312IFM - 318-2 DP“ /70/
or the
"Automation System S7-400: CPU Specifications" reference manual /101/
or the
Instruction List: S7-400 Programmable Controller /102/
(whichever version applies
to your CPU) for details of which of these functions and blocks are available on
which CPU. The properties of the CFBs and the S7 signaling functions for specific
CPUs are described in /70/
and /101/.
For information about the CPU operating systems, program design, and the
communications and diagnostic capabilities of the CPUs, refer to the
"Configuring Hardware and Communication Connections STEP 7 V5.4" manual
/234/
How to call functions and function blocks in your program is explained in the
language descriptions.
You program and assign parameters for all these functions using the STEP 7
standard software. How to use this software is described in the
"Programming with STEP 7 V5.4" manual /231/
and in the STEP 7 online help.
Audience
This manual is intended for programmers and engineers who are familiar with
controlling processes and are responsible for writing programs for programmable
logic controllers.
