1.26 Startup Organization Blocks (OB100, OB101 and
OB102)
Types of Startup
A distinction is made between the following types of startup
Hot restart (not with the S7-300 and the S7-400H)
Warm restart
Cold restart
In the following table, you can see which OB is called by the operating system
during startup.
Type of Startup Corresponding OB
Hot restart OB101
Warm restart OB100
Cold restart OB102
For more detailed information on the types of startup, refer to the manuals
"Programming with STEP 7" "Configuring hardware and connections with
STEP 7" and "S7-400H PLC."
Startup Events
The CPU executes a startup as follows:
After POWER ON
Whenever you switch the mode selector from STOP to RUN-P
After a request using a communication function (menu command from the
programming device or by calling the communication function blocks 19
"START" or 21 "RESUME" on a different CPU).
Synchronization in multicomputing
In an H system after link-up (only on the standby CPU)
Depending on the start event, the particular CPU, and its parameters, the
appropriate startup OB (OB100, OB101, or OB102) is called. With suitable
programming, you can make certain settings for your cyclic program (exception: in
an H system, when the standby CPU is linked-up, there is a startup on the standby
CPU but no startup OB is called).
