DRIVE-CLiQ topology
NX components can be connected to the Control Unit via DRIVE-CLiQ. The following rules apply for the
wiring:
 Only one star topology is permitted between the NX and the Control Unit. This means that only one NX
can be operated per DRIVE-CLiQ port on a Control Unit.
 DRIVE-CLiQ ports not assigned to NX can be wired to other DRIVE-CLiQ components.
 Once an NX has been connected and configured, you cannot simply insert it into a different DRIVE-
CLiQ port, as the addresses of the integrated drives are set permanently from the point of view of the
PLC.
The following table illustrates this relation:

displacement • Star-shaped distribution of a DRIVE-CLiQ line
• Extension of DRIVE-CLiQ Ports, e.g. for direct encoders
• Separating parts of the drives without errors in the remaining ones
• Parking of parts of the drives
Advantage • The DRIVE-CLiQ Hub Module allows individual DRIVE-CLiQ devices to be removed without inter
rupting the data exchange with the remaining devices in the DRIVE-CLiQ line ( Hot-Plugging ).
• Reducing the number of DRIVE-CLiQ cables in the cable carrier, because
signals from more than one encoder can be collected with one DRIVE-CLiQ Hub
Module and forwarded to the Control Unit through a single DRIVE-CLiQ cable.

Notes

SIMATIC Manager The SIMATIC Manager opens with the STEP 7 wizard for new
projects.
STEP 7 is the basic programming and configuration software
for SIMATIC. It comprises a number of applications with which
partial solutions can be implemented easily, for example:
 Configuration and parameterization of the hardware
 Creation and testing of the user program
 Configuration of networks and connections
STEP 7 can be expanded through a number of option packa-

ges, e.g. additional language packages such as SCL, S7-
GRAPH or HiGraph.
Graphic access to all these applications is via the SIMA-
TIC Manager. It combines all the data and settings that are
required for an automation solution into a project. The data is
structured according to topics in this project and displayed as
objects.
Starting STEP 7
After starting Windows, an icon for the
SIMATIC Manager is displayed on the The wizard for the creation of a new project can be switched

into the STEP 7 software. are not supported.
Creating a project Enter the name of the project at Name: and confirm with OK
A new project is created via the menu item File > New.
Note: The SIMATIC Manager permits names that have more
than eight characters. However, the name of the project di-
rectory is shortened to eight characters. For this reason, pro-
ject names must differ within the first eight characters. No
distinction is made between upper and lower case.
Projects are used to store the data and programs produced

during the creation of an automation solution in an orderly
manner. The project data includes:
 Configuration data about the hardware structure and

parameterization data for modules
 Configuration data for communication via networks
 Programs for programmable modules
The main task during the creation of a project is the provision

of this data and the programming.
Notes

A new SIMATIC station is inserted in order to generate this

project structure.
The project window is split into two sections. The left-hand

section shows the tree structure of the project and the right-
hand section shows the contents of the object selected on the
left in the specified view (large icons, small icons, list or de-
tails).
Hardware configuration
With the hardware configuration, you specify the CPU and all
the modules contained in your controller with the aid of a mo-
dule catalog. You can start the hardware configuration by
double-clicking:
During the hardware configuration it is important that the tool-

box with the appropriate add-ons is installed first because this
creates the hardware catalog for the required NCU.
For additional hardware, you require GSD files from the manu-
facturer or corresponding XML files with the appropriate infor-
mation for integration in the hardware. GSD files and XML files
are already stored in the toolbox for Siemens hardware. The
installation is described in “Installation of GSD files”.
Select the required NCU from the hardware catalog by open-

ing the SIMATIC 300 > Sinumerik > 840D sl tab.
Notes

Double-click the appropriate NCU to create the hardware.
The hardware catalog can be hidden and shown via

the following symbol.
The I/O must now be selected. When creating the NCU, you
are first prompted whether a PROFIBUS connection is
available. Confirm this with Yes. The address to be set must
be taken from the hardware plan or, if it is not already assig-
ned, use the standard address.
Important default settings are made via the object properties

of the NCU.
For example, a clock memory can be set which can be used

to poll the individual clocks in the PLC in order to control a
flashing signal light.

follows by the NCU:
The help is called with “F1”.
The value 16 is the default setting for the memory bytes and
8 for the counters. There is no default setting for the timers.
After the NCU has been created and configured, the PROFI-
BUS nodes still have to be set. To do this, the cursor is placed
on the PROFIBUS(1) DP master system. The connected
PROFIBUS nodes can now be selected in the hardware ca-
talog.

example, 99). To do this, the corresponding folder is opened below the
PROFIBUS node and the connected module installed by dou-
ble-clicking it.
If several PROFIBUS nodes are connected, this setting must

be made for each node.
Notes

The complete hardware configuration then looks like this: The address ranges must then be set for the individual I/O
modules. This is performed by double-clicking the module to
open the I/O module properties, selecting the Addresses tab
and entering the address used.
To pack the address range (packing of two or more modules

with bit addresses to one byte address), select the modules
to be packed and click the “Pack Addresses” button.
This is now repeated for all modules.
The address ranges of the modules now looks like this:
The modules on slots 1 and 2 now have the byte 16 address

Notes

The hardware configuration can now be checked for consis- If the consistency check is performed without error, the hard-
tency. ware configuration can be compiled and saved.
This checks the current configuration and parameterization of

the automation system for consistency, i.e. whether configura-
tion data can be created with these entries.
Blocks in STEP 7 There are various types of blocks that you can use within an
S7 user program:
The STEP 7 programming software allows the user program Organization blocks (OB)
to be structured, i.e. to be divided into individual, self-
contained program sections. This provides the following ad- Organization blocks form the interface between the operating
vantages: system and the user program. They are called by the opera-
ting system and control the cyclic and interrupt-driven program
 Comprehensive programs can be programmed strai- execution, the startup behavior of the automation system and
ghtforwardly the handling of faults. You can program the organization
 Individual program sections can be standardized blocks and thus determine the behavior of the CPU.
 The program organization is simplified
 Changes to the program can be made more easily
 The program test is simplified because it can be perfor-
med section-by-section
 The commissioning is easier

Priority of the organization blocks
Organization blocks determine the sequence (start events) in

which the individual program sections are executed. The
execution of an OB can be interrupted by the call of another
OB. Which OB can interrupt another OB depends on the
priority. Higher-priority OBs interrupt lower-priority OBs.
System function blocks (SFB)
A system function block is a function block that is integrated

in the S7-CPU. Since SFBs are part of the operating system,
they are not loaded as part of the program. As with FBs,
SFBs are blocks "with memory". You must also create in-
stance data blocks for the SFBs and load these as part of the
program to the CPU.
Refer to the documentation of the deployed CPU to see
which SFBs are available.
If an online connection is established to the NCU, this can
also be taken from the object properties of the CPU.
Notes

S7-CPUs provide SFBs for:
 The data exchange via communication function blocks

 The integrated closed-loop control
System functions (SFC)
A system function is a pre-programmed function that is in-

tegrated in the S7-CPU. You can call the SFC from your pro-
gram. Since SFCs are part of the operating system, they are
not loaded as part of the program. As with FCs, SFCs are
blocks "without memory".
If an online connection is established to the NCU, this can
also be taken from the object properties of the CPU.
S7-CPUs provide SFCs for the:
 Copy and block functions

 Program monitoring
 Handling of the clock and the operating hours counter
 Transfer of the data blocks
 Handling of time-of-day and time-delay interrupts
 Handling of synchronous fault events, interrupt and
asynchronous fault events
 System diagnostics
 Process image update and the bit array processing
 Addressing of modules
 Distributed I/O
 Global data communication

Actual parameters
When a block is called, it can be supplied with block parame-

ters (constants, operands or variables). These are called actu-
al parameters.
Data blocks (DB)
In contrast to code blocks, data blocks do not contain any

STEP 7 instructions. They are used to import user data, i.e.
the data blocks contain variable data with which the user pro-
gram works.
Creating a new block
Open the Blocks folder and then the “Insert” menu item. A
selection of blocks appears when the cursor is placed on “S7
Block”. Select the function block.
A new window opens in which the properties of the new

block are entered.

Statement list STL
In the statement list (STL), you program the control tasks

through a sequence of statements. These statements can be
separated by single networks or written continuously.
Comments can be inserted with “//” in the individual networks.

Notes

Function block diagram (FBD) In the function block diagram programming language (FBD),
you program the control tasks by connecting boxes. FBD
Below is the same view as for LAD and STL in the function provides function boxes for linking signal states, simple boxes

boxes for linking the logic operations and complex boxes for
non-binary functions.
A network always only contains one logic operation. This

comprises coherent, interconnected functions.
With logic operations, a distinction is made between binary,

simple boxes and complex boxes.
Binary logic operations
The linking of binary signal states is implemented in FBD

through the AND, the OR and the exclusive OR functions. At
the input of these functions, you can write the operands whose
signal state you want to poll and link.

Complex boxes represent program elements with non-binary

functions.
Example of complex boxes:

Simple boxes
With simple boxes, you control the binary operands, such as

outputs. Generally, simple boxes have only one input.

Notes

Symbol table
Programming can be symbolic or with the address of the oper-

and. In symbolic addressing, a distinction is made between
“local symbols” and “global symbols”. A local symbol is only
known in the block in which it has been defined. A global sym-
bol is known throughout the entire user program. Global sym-
bols are created in the symbol file.
A global symbol begins with a special character or a letter and

can have up to 24 characters. The symbol comment can have
up to 80 characters.
The data type is also part of the specification of a symbol. It
defines certain properties of the data hidden behind the sym-
bol (bit, byte, word, etc.).
The symbol file is opened in the S7 program by double- You can also assign a symbol for an operand directly in the

Reference data
You can generate and evaluate reference data to facilitate

the testing and changing of your user program. Reference
data is used, for example, as

Creating a variable table
All the variables that are to be monitored or controlled are

listed in a variable table (VAT). A new variable table is crea-
ted, for example, by opening the block container and “Insert ->
S7 Block > Variable Table”.
Monitoring/controlling variables
If the CPU can be reached online and you have loaded the
hardware configuration to the CPU, then you can address the
inputs and outputs of the configured I/O modules directly, i.e.
without having to change the application.
Notes

A name is assigned to the new variable table. In addition, a Double-clicking the VAT symbol opens the variable table and
comment as well as a version and an author can be entered. the variables to be controlled or monitored can be entered
now.
Comments on the variables can also be inserted in the vari-

able table.
Notes

A connection must be established to the configured controller in order to display the status values (actual values of the varia-
bles). When the connection is established, the actual status value can be displayed with the symbol. A value can be entered
in the “Control value” column which overwrites the status value when the symbol is clicked. Note that all inputs are re-read in
every cycle and set to the input value and all outputs that are used in the PLC assume the value of the PLC again.
Depending on the variable type (bit,

byte, word, etc.), the display format
can be set to the required format.
Danger
Changing the variable values during operation can cause severe damage or injury due to malfunctions or
! program errors!
Make sure that no dangerous states can occur before you execute the "Control" function!
Notes

CPU diagnostics

Configure the Profinet network Periphery not connected to Profinet
Select - not networked -
Notes

Periphery connected to Profinet Change- Name - to Profinet(1) - this step is not necessary but
is logical, as the original name is „Ethernet“ and could cause
confusion later with diagnostics.
Select - New - to Create new active Network
The Profinet Input/Output system can

now be extended with additional mo-
dules from the Profinet branch of the
Hardware catalogue.
Notes

The Profinet periphery PP72/48 will be

inserted and configured in this examp-
le.
The board can be found in the compo-
nent list under - PROFINET IO - I/O -
SINUMERIK.
First insert the Object container, and
the individual components can inserted
into the respective slots of the Module
object.
If the Object is not existing in the Hard-

ware catalogue, it should be imported
from the GSD file .
The PP72/48 is such a case, and can
be found in the PLC Toolbox as shown.
Updating the Profinet Topology
All profinet modules have to be inserted to the network, from

the component list.
The components have to be connected to each other to crea-
te the Profinet Topology, this is carried out using the Topolo-
gy editor.
To start the Topology editor, right click one of the Profinet
objects and select the "Profinet IO Topology" from the menu.
The start address can be changed if necessary, this is carried

out by double clicking the slot number to enter the Object pro-
perties, and under the address tab the start address can be
changed.
Notes

The Topology editor con-

sists of the Topology win-
dow on the left side and
the component tree on the
right.
Using the mouse compo-

nents (connections) from
the component list can be
dragged to their respec-
tive position in the Topolo-
gy Windows.
In the above Topology picture an example can be seen of a

PP72/48 connected to Port 1 of the X150 on the NCU board.
It is imperative that the correct ports are connected, in this
case - port-001(X1) is physically connected to Port 1 (X150
P1 R) of the NCU and this has to be replicated in the Topolo-
gy as can be seen above.
Notes

In addition to the Topology, a device number and IP have to

be assigned.
To assign the device number you right click the object and
select the Object properties.
In the Object properties dialog box, the device number In addition the Device name has to be changed to reflect
matching the device number set physically on the module the Device number.
(PP72/48 Dip switch S1) should be selected. The Device number has to be therefore appended to the

 UDTs can be used like elementary data types or com-

pound data types in the variable declaration of code
blocks (FC, FB, OB) or as data type for variables in a
data block (DB). This has the advantage that you only
have to define a special data structure that is to be
used several times once and then assign it to any num-
ber of variables.
 UDTs can be used as a template for the creation of

data blocks with the same data structure, i.e. you only
create the structure once and then generate the requi-
red data blocks through simple assignment of the
UDTs (recipes as an example: the structure of the DB
is always the same, only the quantities are different).

Source
A source can be generated from the block with the “Generate

Source” function. If the source has been generated with sym-
bolic operands, the absolute addresses in the symbol file can
be changed and, after compilation, a program is obtained
with changed inputs and outputs. In this way, the program
can be adapted to a different hardware configuration.

User PLC Variables
Address Formats
The format that a variable (Operand) is entered on the diagnostics screen will be dependent on the type of data being diagnosed.
The format can be in single bit, byte, word & double word format.
Bit- This refers to a single element of logic e.g. I4.0, Q5.5, M100.6, DB31.DBX2.1. The Bit part is the number after the decimal
point. The value of a bit is either 1 or 0.
Byte- A Byte is a collection of 8 bits of logic in the same group. e.g.

Input Byte 4 (IB4) contains the bits I4.0, I4.1, I4.2, I4.3, I4.4, I4.5, I4.6, I4,7.
When working with bytes it must be remembered that the numbering counts up from the right as shown below.
IB4
Bit no 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Value 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1
In this example I4.1, I4.2, I4.5 & I4.7 are equal to 1. Another term for being equal to 1 is that these bits are High.
The bits equal to 0 are termed as being Low.
Output Bytes (QB), and Marker Bytes (MB) can also be used in the same way.
Word– A Word is a collection of 16 bits of logic which encompasses two

consecutive Bytes.
A Word can only be addressed as 0 or an even number (IW0, IW2, IW4 etc) odd numbers are not allowed.
As with the Byte format the numbering starts from the right.
Example IW4
IB4 IB5
Bit no 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Value 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1
In this example I4.0, I4.1, I4.4, I4.5, I4.6, I5.0, 5.2, I5.5, I5.7 are equal to 1.Output Words (QW) and Marker Words (MB) can also
be used in the same way.
Double Word– A Double Word is a collection of 32 bits of logic which encompasses two consecutive Words (Four consecutive
Bytes).
A Double Word can only be addressed as 0 or as a number which is a multiple of four, (ID0, ID4, ID8, ID12 etc) odd numbers
are not allowed.
Example ID4
IB4 IB5 IB6 IB7
Bit no 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Value 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1
Output Words (QD) and Marker Words (MD) can also be used in the same way.
Data Blocks (DB):-

System Data Blocks are used for interfacing between different areas of the controller and the User PLC, Module A034 describes
this in more detail.
The user can also create Data Blocks.
Data Blocks can be written in different formats e.g. :

DB31.DBX0.0 Data Block 31, Data Block Bit 0.0
DB31.DBB1 Data Block 31, Data Block Byte 1
DB31.DBW10 Data Block 31, Data Block Word 10
DB31.DBD12 Data Block 31, Data Block Double Word 12

PLC Interface signals (DB2)
DB2 is used for activating the alarms/messages.

Each alarm number has its own interface bit which, when set
high will activate the alarm.
Whether an alarm behaves as a an Error Message (EM) or

Notes

User Help Files
To further enhance the fault finding procedure it is possible to create a “Help” file.
When the HELP key is pressed the details of the selected alarm will be displayed on the screen.
Help file information and Rules:

The help file is of the type HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) and needs to be stored in a specific directory.
File location for English language:
NCU: System CF-Card\oem\sinumerik\hmi\hlp\eng\sinumerik_alarm_plc_pmc
PCU: C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\oem\sinumerik\hmi\hlp\eng\sinumerik_alarm_plc_pmc
The italicised text denotes folders that require creating. Separate folders are required for each language where the Help file is to
be utilised.
Examples:
English - eng\sinumerik_alarm_plc_pmc
German - deu\sinumerik_alarm_plc_pmc
The HTML file name:

sinumerik_alarm_oem_plc_pmc.html
A separate file needs to be created and stored in each of the language folders.
HTML script language

Once the file is created the HTML code can be entered. HTML uses tags, each tag has a specific function.
Tags have to be opened and closed in the correct manner, example:
<html> Opening the “html” tag

Information/more tags entered here etc.
</html> Closing the “html” tag
Table of Common HTML Tags:
TAG Description
html Root element-Main tag for the help file, contains all other tags, first to be opened and
last to be closed.
head Contains document information, opened immediately after the HTML tag, closed
directly before the BODY tag is opened.
body The main body of the HTML document, determines what will be displayed on the
screen. Opened immediately after the closing the HEAD tag. Closed immediately
before the HTML tag.
table Creates a table for the help file information.
tr Table row, creates a row within the table.
td Table data cell. Used within the tr tag, contains the text that is to be displayed on the
help screen. The tag is used with the width attribute to determine the width of the cell
and the valign attribute to align the text within a cell.
p Used to begin a new paragraph.
b Text will be written in bold type.
i Text will be written in italic type.
br Starts a new line.

</body>
</html>
The “a” tag is known as an anchor.

The system is able to cross reference the highlighted alarm with the entry within the “a” tag.
<td width="15%"><a name="700000">700000</a></td>
When an alarm is selected and the help key is pressed the system uses the anchor to locate and display the correct table contents
for the selected alarm.
Adding further alarms to the HTML file is simply a case of copying/pasting the existing “table” tag and its contents and editing to suit
the individual alarm.
The contents of the “head” tag should not be changed. This determines the content type and text format.

Creating the help files/directories on the controller NCU “hlp” folder location:
The folders can be created directly on the controller or by using

the Access MyMachine software package.
Creating the help file folders on the controller:
Locate the directory where the folders are to be created.

NCU: System CF-Card\oem\sinumerik\hmi\hlp
PCU50: C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\oem\
sinumerik\hmi\hlp
PCU “hlp” folder location: Select the “Directory” soft-key, this is usually already selected
by default.
Enter the directory name, this is the language directory.

Several will have to be created if help files are to be available
for more than one language. See previous page for language
specific folder names.
Below: Creating a folder for English help files.
Cursor to the “hlp” directory and select the “New” soft-key.
Notes

Highlight the “eng” folder and select the “New” soft-key.
Type in the help file name

“sinumerik_alarm_oem_plc_pmc.html“.
Enter the mandatory name for the new directory:
“sinumerik_alarm_plc_pmc”.
Creating the help file:

Cursor to “sinumerik_alarm_plc_pmc” directory and select the
“New” soft-key followed by the “Any” soft-key.
The file will automatically open in readiness for the HTML code NCU:
to be entered. System CF card\user\sinumerik
\hmi\hlp\eng\sinumerik_alarm_plc_pmc
The file is closed with the “exit” soft-key: “System CF card\oem\sinumerik
\hmi\hlp\eng\sinumerik_alarm_plc_pmc
PCU50:
C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\user\sinumerik\
hmi\hlp\eng\sinumerik_alarm_plc_pmc
Creating the help files/directories on an external PC C:\ProgramData\Siemens\MotionControl\oem\sinumerik\
hmi\hlp\eng\sinumerik_alarm_plc_pmc
It is also possible to create the directories/help files offline using
an ASCII editor (e.g. Notepad®).
This is usually a more comfortable method than stood at the
controller.
These files have to be transferred to the controller and placed in
the correct folders using the USB /CF Interfaces or with the
Access MyMachine software.
The file needs to be placed in certain folders on the controller.

The “sinumerik_alarm_oem_plc_pmc.html” file has to be
placed in one of the following directories:
Notes

Testing the help file on the controller If several alarms exist, cursor to the correct one.
To test the Help file the alarm specified in the Help file should
be activated.
Alarm 700000 is activated by DB2.DBX180.0
With the alarm active locate the “Alarms/Messages” screen.
The alarm will appear in either the “Alarmlist” or “Messages”

screen depending how it has been configured.
Or
The HELP function is activated by the “HELP” key.
