Preface
This manual provides descriptions and examples of S7 functions FCs and
function blocks FBs in ladder logic (LAD) representation. These FCs and
FBs are available to program your S7-300/S7-400 programmable logic
controller (PLC). This manual is intended as a reference to provide the
necessary information for each function.
The FCs and FBs described in this manual are located in the library named
Tilib, under the component FBLIB2. Using your STEP 7 file manager, you
can copy the FCs and FBs you need to your destination program directory.
First make certain that your program does not contain any FCs or FBs with
the same number as the ones you want to copy from FBLIB2. If you have
FCs or FBs with matching numbers, you must renumber either your program
FCs or FBs, or the one(s) you want to copy to your program.
This manual is intended for engineers, programmers, and maintenance
personnel who have a general knowledge of programmable logic controllers.
This manual groups the FCs and FBs into the following functional areas:
S Bit logic functions (Chapter 1)
S Table functions (Chapter 2)
S Shift functions (Chapter 3)
S Move functions and function blocks (Chapter 4)
S Timer functions and function blocks (Chapter 5)
S Convert functions and function blocks (Chapter 6)
S Floating Point Math functions (Chapter 7)
S Compare function blocks (Chapter 8)
S The glossary provides an alphabetical listing of definitions of key terms
and expressions that are applicable to ladder logic programming.

Each chapter describes FCs and FBs that you can add to your standard set of
instructions to provide additional programming flexibility. Each FC or FB is
listed with the full name, the abbreviation, and the FC or FB number. Each
FC or FB is described according to the following topics:
S Description a basic functional description.
S Parameters a table giving the declaration, data type, valid memory
areas, and the description for each parameter.
S Error Information errors that would prevent the FC or FB from being
executed successfully.
S Example a figure consisting of a graphic representation of the FC or
FB with example parameters and the results of the execution.

1.1 Reset Range of Outputs (RSET): FC82
The Reset Range of Outputs (RSET) function resets the signal state of each
bit in a specified range to 0 if the MCR bit is 1. If the MCR bit is 0, the
signal state of each bit in the range remains unchanged. The number of bits
in the range to be reset is specified by N, and the starting point of the range is
pointed to by S_BIT.
Table 1-1 describes the Reset Range of Outputs (RSET) parameters.

If the S_BIT pointer references the I/O external input and output memory
area (P memory), the signal state of each bit in the range remains unchanged
and the signal state of ENO is set to 0.
Figure 1-1 shows how the RSET instruction works. If the signal state of input
I 0.0 is 1 (activated) and the MCR bit is 1, the RSET function is executed. In
this example, S_BIT points to the first bit at location M0.0. The N parameter
specifies 10 bits to be reset. After the instruction is executed, the signal state
of each of the 10 bits in the range M0.0 through M1.1 is reset to 0.
If the function is executed without error, the signal states of ENO and Q 4.0
are set to 1.

1.2 Reset Range of Immediate Outputs (RSETI): FC100
The Reset Range of Immediate Outputs (RSETI) function resets the signal
state of a range of bytes to 0 if the MCR bit is 1. If the MCR bit is 0, the
signal state of each byte in the range remains unchanged. S_BYTE points to
the first byte in the range, and N specifies the size of the range. The size of
the range is expressed by specifying the number of bits in the range. For
example, to specify a range of 2 bytes, you would enter 16 (16 bits) for the
value of N.
Note
The value of N must be a multiple of eight (for example, 8, 16, 24, etc.).
The S_BYTE pointer must reference the external input and output memory
area (P memory). Since P memory is accessed as bytes, words, or double
words, the S_BYTE must reference an address that is byte-aligned, which
means that the bit number of the pointer must be 0.
Note
The signal state of the corresponding bits in the process-image output table
(Q memory) is also reset to 0.
Table 1-2 describes the Reset Range of Immediate Outputs (RSETI)
parameters.

range remains unchanged and the signal state of ENO is set to 0.
S The S_BYTE pointer references a memory area other than the I/O
external input and output memory area (P memory).
S The S_BYTE pointer references an address that is not byte-aligned.
S The value of N is not a multiple of eight.
Figure 1-2 shows how the RSETI instruction works. If the signal state of
input I 0.0 is 1 (activated) and the MCR bit is 1, the RSETI function is
executed. In this example, S_BYTE points to the first byte at location P2.0.
The N parameter specifies 16 bits (2 bytes) to be reset. After the instruction
is executed, the signal state of each bit in the range P2.0 through P3.7 is reset
to 0.

1.3 Set Range of Outputs (SET): FC83
The Set Range of Outputs (SET) function sets the signal state of each bit in a
specified range to 1 if the MCR bit is 1. If the MCR bit is 0, the signal state
of each of the bits in the range remains unchanged. The number of bits in the
range to be set is specified by N, and the starting point of the range is pointed
to by S_BIT.

1.4 Set Range of Immediate Outputs (SETI): FC101
The Set Range of Immediate Outputs (SETI) function sets the signal state of
a range of bytes to 1 if the MCR bit is 1. If the MCR bit is 0, the signal state
of each byte in the range remains unchanged. S_BYTE points to the first byte
in the range, and N specifies the size of the range. The size of the range is
expressed by specifying the number of bits in the range. For example, to
specify a range of 2 bytes, you would enter 16 (16 bits) for the value of N.
Note
The value of N must be a multiple of eight (for example, 8, 16, 24, etc.).
The S_BYTE pointer must reference the external input and output memory
area (P memory). Since P memory is accessed as bytes, words, or double
words, the S_BYTE must reference an address that is byte-aligned, which
means that the bit number of the pointer must be 0.
Note
The signal state of the corresponding bits in the process-image output table
(Q memory) is also reset to 0.

2.1 Add to Table (ATT): FC84
The Add to Table (ATT) function adds DATA into the next entry of a table
and increments the number of entries by one. The table consists of words.
This function allows you to add entries into tables for use by the FIFO and
LIFO functions.
S The first entry in the FIFO or LIFO table contains the maximum number
of entries of the table (table length).
S The second entry in the table contains the number of entries entered.
S The third entry in the table contains the first word of data.
Note
You must initialize the first two entries when you create the table.

2.2 First In/First Out Unload Table (FIFO): FC85
The First In/First Out Unload Table (FIFO) function returns the oldest entry
from the FIFO table as the function value. The number of entries decrements
by one, and if more entries remain, they are shifted down in the table. The
FIFO table consists of words. You use the ATT function to add values into
the FIFO table.
S The first entry in the table contains the maximum number of entries of the
table (table length).
S The second entry in the table contains the number of entries entered.
S The third entry in the table contains the first word of data.

changed and the signal state of ENO is set to 0.
Figure 2-2 shows how the FIFO instruction works. If the signal state of input
I 0.0 is 1 (activated), the FIFO function is executed. In this example, the
oldest entry in the table is returned as the function value (MW2). The number
of entries is decremented from 5 to 4, and the remaining entries are shifted
down in the table.
If the function is executed without error, the signal states of ENO and Q 4.0
are set to 1.

2.3 Table Find (TBL_FIND): FC86
The Table Find (TBL_FIND) function is used to search for a distinct pattern
or to search for a non-consistent pattern in a block of memory. This function
performs the indicated compare command (CMD) between the source pattern
(PATRN) and the source table (SRC) entries. It locates the next entry (after
the entry indexed by INDX) in the table that satisfies the compare command
and places its entry number in INDX. If no match is found, INDX points past
the end of the table and the functions output is turned off.
S If CMD = 1, the function searches for the first value equal to the PATRN
value.
S If CMD = 2, the function searches for the first value that is not equal to
the PATRN value.
S The first entry in the table contains the maximum number of entries of the
table (table length).
S The second entry in the table contains the first table value.
Note
You must initialize the first entry (table length) of the table.

Figure 2-3 shows how the TBL_FIND instruction works. If the signal state of
input I 0.0 is 1 (activated), the TBL_FIND function is executed. In this
example, since E_TYPE is 4, data in the table is stored in words starting at
the entry pointed to by SRC. These words are compared against the pattern
value 5555, which is stored in the location pointed to by PATRN. Because the
CMD value is 1, the search locates the first table value in SRC that equals the
pattern value. The INDX value points to the entry where the search is to
begin. After the instruction is executed, the INDX value provides the entry
number in the table where the compare command was satisfied.
If the function is executed without error, the signal states of ENO and Q4.0
are set to 1 and RET_VAL is set equal to W#16#0000.

The first entry in the table provides the

value of 0004 causes the next 4
entries in the table to be searched.
The INDX moves from DW0 (before
execution) to DW6 (after execution)
because the pattern at entry DW6

2.4 Last In/First Out Unload Table (LIFO): FC87
The Last In/First Out Unload Table (LIFO) function returns the newest (most
recent) entry from the LIFO table as the function value and decrements the
number of entries by one. The LIFO table consists of words. You use the ATT
function to add entries into the LIFO table.
S The first entry in the table contains the maximum number of entries in the
table (table length).
S The second entry in the table contains the number of entries entered.
S The third entry in the table contains the first word of data.

If CMD or E_TYPE are invalid or CMD and E_TYPE are inconsistent with
each other, the table values are not changed. The signal state of ENO is set to
0 and RET_VAL is set equal to W#16#0008.
Figure 2-5 shows how the TBL instruction works. If the signal state of input
I0.0 is 1 (activated), the TBL function is executed. In this example, SRC
points to the data block locations that will be manipulated by the instruction.
Since E_TYPE is 4, data in the table is stored in words starting at the entry
pointed to by SRC. Because the CMD value is 4 (Clear), all words in the
table are cleared (set to zero) when the TBL instruction is executed. The
table length value of 5 in the first table entry causes the next five table
entries to be cleared.
If the function is executed without error, the signal states of ENO and Q4.0
are set to 1 and RET_VAL is set equal to W#16#0000.

2.6 Move Table to Word (TBL_WRD): FC89
The Move Table to Word (TBL_WRD) function copies the entry indicated by
INDX from the SRC table to the entry pointed to by DEST, and then
increments INDX as long as INDX is less than the table length that is given
in the first word of the table, SRC[0]. If the INDX is set to the last table entry
when this instruction is called, the Q output bit is set to 0 after execution.
S The first entry in the table contains the maximum number of entries of the
table (table length).
S The second entry in the table contains the first table value.
Note
You must initialize the first entry when you create the table.

Figure 2-6 shows how the TBL_WRD instruction works. If the signal state of
input I 0.0 is 1 (activated) the TBL_WRD function is executed. Since the
E_TYPE is 4, the word data that is stored in the table starting at the entry
pointed to by SRC is copied to the entry pointed to by DEST. The INDX
value points to the table entry to be moved. After the instruction is executed
successfully, the INDX is automatically incremented to one entry past the
entry that was moved. In this example, when the instruction is called, the
INDX is not set to the last table entry, so Q is set to 1 after execution.
If the function is executed without error, the signal states of ENO and Q4.0
are set to 1 and RET_VAL is set equal to W#16#0000.

Figure 2-7 shows how the WRD_TBL instruction works. If the signal state of
input I 0.0 is 1 (activated), the WRD_TBL function is executed. Since the
E_TYPE is 6, double word data is stored in the table starting at the memory
location pointed to by TABLE. The table length in the first word indicates
that the table contains three double words. The INDX value points to the
table entry to be manipulated. Since the CMD value is 8, the instruction
performs an OR command on the value that INDX points to. Since the INDX
is 2, the second double word (66665544) is ORed with the value pointed to
by SRC (11111111). After the instruction is executed, the result of the OR
command (77775555) is written back into the table, and the INDX is
automatically incremented one entry. If the INDX is set to the last table entry
when this instruction is called, the Q output bit is set to 0 after execution. In
this example, when the instruction is called, the INDX is not set to the last
table entry, so Q is set to 1 after execution.
If the function is executed without error, the signal states of ENO and Q4.0
are set to 1 and RET_VAL is set equal to W#16#0000.

2.8 Correlated Data Table (CDT): FC103
The Correlated Data Table (CDT) function compares an input value (IN) to a
pre-existing input table of values (IN_TBL) and locates the first value that is
greater than or equal to the input value. If located, the index of the located
value is used to copy the corresponding value in the output table (OUT_TBL)
to the output value (OUT).
S The input table values should be in ascending order. That is, the smallest
value is located in the first table entry and the largest value is located in
the last table entry.
S The size of the input value, the table values, and the output value is
determined from E_TYPE.
S The first entry in the table contains the number of entries of the table
(table length).
S The second entry in the table contains the first table value.
S The number of entries in both tables must be equal and be greater than
zero.

3.1 Word Shift Register (WSR): FC90
The Word Shift Register (WSR) function shifts data into a shift register from
the indicated source. Each value is moved into the next location. LENGTH
specifies the number of locations to be shifted. The data contained in the last
location of the shift register is lost after the shift. New data is read from the
source (S_DATA) each time the instruction is executed; this data is shifted
into the shift register starting location (START) when the RESET input is set
to 0. If the RESET input is set to 1, the register location is set to zeros when
the instruction is executed. The output Q is turned on when the shift register
is empty or cleared (that is, after a reset or after all zeros are shifted in).
Table 3-1 describes the Word Shift Register (WSR) parameters.

If an invalid E_TYPE is used, the function is not executed and the signal
state of ENO is set to 0.
Figure 3-1 shows how the WSR instruction works. If the signal state of input
I 0.0 is 1 (activated) the WSR function is executed. Since the E_TYPE is 4,
word data is stored in the table starting at the memory location pointed to by
START. The LENGTH parameter is set to 4, indicating that 4 word locations
will be shifted, starting with the first word at the START pointer. After the
first value in a table is shifted to the next location, the first location is filled
with the data pointed to by the S_DATA pointer. The last table value is lost.
Whenever the RESET input is set to 1, the locations in the table are set to
zero rather than being shifted.
If the function is executed without error, the signal states of ENO and Q4.0
are set to 1.

3.2 Bit Shift Register (SHRB): FC92
The Bit Shift Register (SHRB) function shifts a bit into a shift register from
the indicated source in DATA. New data is read from the source each time
the instruction is executed, and this data is shifted into the shift register
starting location (S_BIT) while the RESET input has a signal state of 0. All
successive bits are shifted by one. The bit contained in the last location
(S_BIT+N) is lost after the shift. Whenever the RESET input is set to 1, the
locations in the table are set to 0 rather than being shifted.

4.1 Indirect Block Move (IBLKMOV): FC81
You can use the Indirect Block Move (IBLKMOV) instruction to move a
block of data consisting of either bytes, words, integers, double words, or
double integers from a source block to a destination block. The number of
elements to be moved is determined by LENGTH and the element size is
identified by E_TYPE. The S_DATA and D_DATA pointers identify the
location of pointers that identify the starting locations of the source and
destination data. Because of this indirect method of identifying the data to be
moved, this function is called an indirect block move.
Table 4-1 describes the Indirect Block Move (IBLKMOV) parameters.

4.2 Pack Data (PACK): FB86
The Pack Data (PACK) function block moves data interleaved between
random locations and a table. The direction of transfer is specified by DIR.
Each PACK instruction processes up to five blocks of data (P_DATA1 to
P_DATA5). If DIR indicates to, the PACK moves data from these
locations to the indicated table. Similarly, if the DIR indicates from, data
is distributed from the table to the locations.
The rules for packing to a table are as follows:
S Single bits (BOOL) are packed into the next available bit in the table.
S 8-bit data types are packed into the next available byte in the table. When
a byte is written to the table, unused bits in the previous byte are filled
with zeros.
S 16- and 32-bit data types are packed into the next available word in the
table. When a word is written to the table, unused bits in the previous
word are filled with zeros.
The rules for packing data from a table are as follows:
S Sections of a table cannot be skipped.
S All BOOL points specified are packed from the table.
S 8-bit data types are packed from the first available byte in the table. That
is, unused bits in the previous byte of the table are not included as part of
a byte that is packed from the table.
S 16- and 32-bit data types are packed from the first available word in the
table. That is, unused bits in the previous word of the table are not
included as part of a word that is packed from the table.
Valid data types of the ANY pointer which are supported by the PACK
function block are:
S BOOL
S WORD
S INT
S BYTE
S DINT
S REAL
S CHAR
S DWORD

5.1 Software Timer On DelayRetentive (TONR): FC80
The Software Timer On DelayRetentive (TONR) function accumulates
time until the current value of elapsed time (ET) equals or exceeds the preset
value (PV). Since TONR uses the execution time of the last cycle of the OB
(Organization Block) in which it runs to accumulate time, this function is
intended to be used only in the OBs that have a repetitive nature, such as
OB1 and the cyclic OBs.
Note
You must move the OB scan time from the start-up local variables in the
variable declaration table of the OB to the global variable DELTA_T.
As long as the signal state of RESET is 0, the signal state of TMR_EN is 1,
and the signal state of Q is 0, the TONR function adds DELTA_T to ET. If
the signal state of TMR_EN is not 1, then no time is added to ET. When ET
reaches or exceeds PV, the signal state of output Q is set to 1. Once Q turns
on, it remains on and ET is held at the last value until reset. The function
resets ET to 0 and turns off output Q when the signal state of RESET is 1.

5.2 Discrete Control Alarm Timer (DCAT): FB81
The Discrete Control Alarm Timer (DCAT) function block accumulates time
from the command (CMD) input transition to open (or close) until the preset
time (PT) is exceeded or the feedback input (O_FB or C_FB) indicates the
device opened (or closed) within the prescribed time. If the preset time is
exceeded before the feedback is received, the corresponding alarm is turned
on. If the input command switches states before the preset time, the time is
restarted.
S When the signal state of CMD input transitions from 0 to 1, the signal
state of Q is set to 1, ET is set to zero, the signal states of both alarm
outputs (OA, CA) are set to 0, and the signal state of CMD_HIS is set
to 1.
S When the signal state of CMD input transitions from 1 to 0, the signal
state of Q is set to 0, ET is set to zero, the signal states of both alarm
outputs (OA, CA) are set to 0, and the signal state of CMD_HIS is set
to 0.
S When the signal states of both CMD and CMD_HIS are 1, and the signal
state of O_FB is 0, then the time (msec) delta since the last function block
execution is added to ET. If ET exceeds PT, then the signal state of OA is
set to 1, otherwise it is set to 0. The signal state of CMD_HIS is set equal
to CMD.
S When the signal states of both CMD and CMD_HIS are 1, the signal state
of O_FB is 1, and the signal state of C_FB is 0, then the signal state of the
OA is set to 0. ET is set equal to PT so that if the signal state of O_FB is
later set to 0, the alarm will be set on the next function block execution.
The signal state of CMD_HIS is set equal to CMD.
S When the signal states of both CMD and CMD_HIS are 0, and the signal
state of C_FB is 0, then the time (msec) delta since the last function block
execution is added to ET. If ET exceeds PT, then the signal state of the
CA is set to 1, otherwise it is set to 0. The signal state of CMD_HIS is set
equal to CMD.
S When the signal states of both CMD and CMD_HIS are 0, the signal state
of O_FB is 0, and the C_FB is 1, then the signal state of the CA is set to
0. ET is set equal to PT so that if the signal state of C_FB is later set to 0,
the alarm will be set on the next function block execution. The signal
state of CMD_HIS is set equal to CMD.
S If the signal states of both O_FB and C_FB are 1 simultaneously, then this
is considered an error condition and the signal states of both alarm
outputs are set to 1.

Figure 5-2 shows how the DCAT instruction works. If the signal state of input
I0.0 is 1 (activated), the DCAT function block is executed. In this example,
the CMD input is transitioning from a signal state of 0 to 1 as indicated by
CMD_HIS and CMD. Based upon these conditions, Q and CMD_HIS are

5.3 Motor Control Alarm Timer (MCAT): FB82
The Motor Control Alarm Timer (MCAT) function block accumulates time
from the on transition of one of the command inputs (open or close) until the
preset time is exceeded or the corresponding feedback input indicates the
device completed the commanded operation within the prescribed time. If the
preset time is exceeded before the feedback is received, the corresponding
alarm is turned on. Descriptions of the MCAT reaction to the various input
conditions are summarized in the MCAT Truth Table (see Table 5-3 ).

5.4 Event Maskable Drum (DRUM): FB85
The Event Maskable Drum (DRUM) function block drives the programmed
output bits (OUT1 to OUT16) and the word output (OUT_WORD) with the
programmed values (OUT_VAL) of the appropriate step conditioned by the
enabling masks (S_MASK) for that step while the DRUM remains on that
step. The DRUM will advance to the next step when either the event for the
step is true and the programmed time for the current step has expired, or the
jog input transitions from 0 to 1. When the signal state of RESET is 1, the
DRUM is reset, which sets the current step equal to the preset step (DSP).
The amount of time spent on a step is determined by the product of the
DRUM time base preset (DTBP) and the count preset/step values
(S_PRESET) corresponding to each step. At the start of a new step, this
calculated value is loaded into DCC which contains the time remaining for
the current step. For example, if DTBP is equal to 2, and the preset value for
step 1 is equal to 100 (100 msec), then DCC equals 200 (200 msec).
A step may be programmed with a time value, or an event, or both. Steps
with an event bit and a time value of zero, advance to the next step as soon as
the signal state of the event bit is 1. Steps with only a time start timing
immediately. Steps with an event bit and a time value greater than 0 begin
timing when the signal state of the event bit is 1. The event bits are
initialized with a signal state of 1.
When the step pointer is on the last programmed step (LST_STEP) and the
time for that step has expired, the signal state of output (Q) is set to 1,
otherwise it is set to 0. Once Q is set, the DRUM remains on that step until
reset.
The configurable mask (S_MASK) allows selection of the individual bits in
the output word (OUT_WORD) and the output bits (OUT1 to OUT16) to be
set/reset by the output values (OUT_VAL). When a bit of the configurable
mask has a signal state of 1, the OUT_VAL value sets/resets the
corresponding bit. When a bit of the configurable mask has a signal state of
0, the corresponding bit is left unchanged. Each of the bits of the
configurable mask for all 16 steps is initialized with a signal state of 1.
The output bit OUT1 corresponds with the least-significant bit of the word
output OUT_WORD. The output bit OUT16 corresponds with the
most-significant bit of the word output OUT_WORD.

6.2 ASCII to Hex (ATH): FC94
The ASCII to Hex (ATH) function converts the ASCII character string
pointed to by IN into packed hexadecimal digits and stores these in the
destination table pointed to by OUT. Since 8 bits are required for the ASCII
character and only 4 bits for the hexadecimal digit, the output word length is
only half of the input word length. The ASCII characters are converted and
placed into the hexadecimal output in the same order as they are read in. If
there is an odd number of ASCII characters, the hexadecimal digit is padded
with zeros in the right-most nibble of the last converted hexadecimal digit.

If any ASCII character is found to be invalid, it is converted as 0. The signal
state of ENO is set to 0 and RET_VAL is set equal to W#16#0007.
Figure 6-3 shows how the ATH instruction works. If the signal state of input
I 0.0 is 1 (activated), the ATH function is executed. The N input parameter of
5 indicates that five ASCII characters are to be converted. The ASCII
characters are stored in data block 1 beginning at the IN pointer location,
DB1.DBX10.0. The output string will be located at the OUT pointer location
beginning at DB2.DBX0.0 (data block 2). Since there is an odd number of
ASCII input characters, the last hexadecimal digit contains all zeros in the
right-most nibble, producing the hexadecimal value 0xC0. (Refer to
Figure 6-4 for the equivalent hexadecimal value for each ASCII character.)
If the function is executed without error, the signal states of ENO and Q4.0
are set to 1 and RET_VAL is set equal to W#16#0000.

6.3 Hex to ASCII (HTA): FC95
The Hex to ASCII (HTA) function converts packed hexadecimal digits,
pointed to by IN, and stores them in the destination string pointed to by OUT.
Since 8 bits are required for the character and only 4 bits for the hex digit,
the output word length is two times that of the input word length. Each nibble
of the hexadecimal digit is converted into a character in the same order as
they are read in (left-most nibble of a hexadecimal digit is converted first,
followed by the right-most nibble of that same digit).

6.8 Scaling Values (SCALE): FC105
The Scaling Values (SCALE) function takes an integer value (IN) and
converts it to a real value in engineering units scaled between a low and a
high limit (LO_LIM and HI_LIM). The result is written to OUT. The SCALE
function uses the equation:
OUT = [ FLOAT (IN) K1/(K2K1) * (HI_LIM LO_LIM)] + LO_LIM
The constants K1 and K2 are set based upon whether the input value is
BIPOLAR or UNIPOLAR.
S BIPOLAR: The input integer value is assumed to be between
27648 and 27648, therefore,
K1 = 27648.0 and K2 = +27648.0
S UNIPOLAR: The input integer value is assumed to be between
0 and 27648, therefore,
K1 = 0.0 and K2 = +27648.0
If the input integer value is outside the specified range for its type
(BIPOLAR or UNIPOLAR), the output (OUT) is clamped to the nearer of
either LO_LIM or HI_LIM, and an error is returned.
Reverse scaling can be obtained by programming LO_LIM > HI_LIM. With
reverse scaling, the value of the output decreases as the value of the input
increases.
Table 6-8 describes the Scaling Values (SCALE) parameters.

6.9 Unscaling Values (UNSCALE): FC106
The Unscaling Values (UNSCALE) function takes a real input value (IN) in
engineering units scaled between a low and a high limit (LO_LIM and
HI_LIM) and converts it to an integer value. The result is written to OUT.
The UNSCALE function uses the equation:
OUT = [ (INLO_LIM/HI_LIMLO_LIM) * (K2K1) ] + K1
and sets the constants K1 and K2 based upon whether the input value is
BIPOLAR or UNIPOLAR.
S BIPOLAR: The input real value is assumed to be between
27648 and 27648, therefore,
K1 = 27648.0 and K2 = +27648.0
S UNIPOLAR: The input real value is assumed to be between
0 and 27648, therefore
K1 = 0.0 and K2 = +27648.0
If the input value is outside the LO_LIM and HI_LIM range, the output
(OUT) is clamped to the nearer of either the low limit or the high limit of the
specified range for its type (BIPOLAR or UNIPOLAR), and an error is
returned.

6.10 Lead/Lag Algorithm (LEAD_LAG): FB80
The Lead/Lag Algorithm (LEAD_LAG) function block allows signal
processing to be done on an analog variable. An output (OUT) is calculated
based on an input (IN) and the specified gain (GAIN), lead (LD_TIME), and
lag (LG_TIME) values. The gain value must be greater than zero. The
LEAD_LAG algorithm uses the following equation:
LG_TIME + SAMPLE_T
where OUT =
LG_TIME
PREV_OUT + GAIN
LG_TIME + SAMPLE_T
LD_TIME + SAMPLE_T
IN GAIN
LG_TIME + SAMPLE_T
LD_TIME
PREV_IN
Typically, LEAD_LAG is used in conjunction with loops as a compensator in
dynamic feed-forward control. LEAD_LAG consists of two parts. Phase lead
shifts the phase of the function blocks output so that it leads the input
whereas phase lag shifts the output so that it lags the input. Because the lag
operation is equivalent to an integration, it can be used as a noise suppressor
or a low-pass filter. A lead operation is equivalent to a differentiation and is
thus a high-pass filter. LEAD_LAG combined can cause the output phase to
lag input at low frequency, and to lead input at high frequency, and can thus
be used as a band-pass filter.

8.1 Index Matrix Compare (IMC): FB83
The Index Matrix Compare (IMC) function block compares the signal state
of up to 16 programmed input bits (IN_BIT0 to IN_BIT15) with the
corresponding bits of a compare mask. Up to 16 steps with masks can be
programmed. IN_BIT0 is compared to CMP_VAL [x, 0], where x is the step
number, IN_BIT1 is compared to CMP_VAL [x,1], etc. The step number of
the mask to compare against is indicated by the value of CMP_STEP.
Unprogrammed input bits or unprogrammed bits of the masks have a default
signal state of FALSE. If a match is found, the signal state of output (OUT) is
set to 1, otherwise, it is set to 0.

8.2 Scan Matrix Compare (SMC): FB84
The Scan Matrix Compare (SMC) function block compares the signal state of
up to 16 programmed input bits (IN_BIT0 to IN_BIT15) with the
corresponding bits of the compare mask of each step, beginning with step 1
and progressing through the last step programmed (LAST) or until a match is
found. IN_BIT0 is compared to CMP_VAL [x,0], where x is the step number,
IN_BIT1 is compared to CMP_VAL [x,1], etc. When a match is found, the
signal state of output (OUT) is set to 1 and the step number with the
matching mask is written to OUT_STEP. Unprogrammed input bits or
unprogrammed bits of the masks have a default signal state of FALSE. If
more than one step has a matching mask, only the first one encountered is
indicated in OUT_STEP. If no match is found, the signal state of output
(OUT) is set to 0 and OUT_STEP is one greater than LAST.

A
A type of addressing which indicates the actual location of a particular unit
of data in storage in a CPU. Absolute addressing enables you to reference an
I/O point, for example, using an address that includes the type of point (I =
input, Q = output), the number of the I/O module, and the individual point.
For example, output Q 4.0. The programmable logic controller interprets
absolute addresses without the aid of a symbol table. See Symbolic
Addressing.
An actual parameter is an address or value which is provided as an input or
output during the call of a function block (FB) or function (FC). Actual
parameters correspond to the formal parameters that are declared in the
variable declaration table of the FB or FC.
The address of a ladder logic instruction indicates a constant or the location
where the instruction finds a value on which to perform an operation. The
address can have a symbolic name, an absolute designation, or a combination
of the two. The address can point to any of the following items:
S A constant, the value of a timer or counter, or an ASCII character string
S A location in the status word of the programmable logic controller
S A data block and a location within the data block area
S A function (FC), function block (FB), integrated system function (SFC),
or integrated system function block (SFB) and the number of the function
or block
S A label for a jump instruction
S An address identifier and a location within the memory area that is
indicated by the address identifier (for example, I 1.0)
S The number of a timer or counter
The address of an instruction is sometimes referred to as the operand of the
instruction.

An address identifier is that part of the address of an instruction which
provides such information as the memory area in which an instruction finds a
value (data object) on which to perform an operation size of the value (data
object) on which the instruction is to perform its operation. For example, in
the address IB10, IB is the address identifier (where I indicates the
input area of memory and B indicates a byte in that area).
B
Bit 8 of the status word is called the binary result bit (BR bit). The BR bit
forms a link between the processing of bits and words. This bit enables your
program to interpret the result of a word operation as a binary result and to
integrate this result in a binary logic chain.
For example, the BR bit makes it possible for you to write a function block
(FB) or a function (FC) in statement list (STL, see the STEP 7 Statement List
Reference Manual) and then call the FB or FC from ladder logic (LAD).
When writing a function block or function that you want to call from LAD,
no matter whether you write the FB or FC in STL or LAD, you are
responsible for managing the BR bit. The BR bit corresponds to the enable
output (ENO) of a LAD box. You should use the SAVE instruction (in STL)
or the (SAVE) coil (in LAD) to store an RLO in the BR bit according to
the following criteria:
S Store an RLO of 1 in the BR bit for a case where the FB or FC is
executed without error.
S Store an RLO of 0 in the BR bit for a case where the FB or FC is
executed with error.
You should program these instructions at the end of the FB or FC so that
these are the last instructions that are executed in the block.
!
Warning
Possible unintentional resetting of the BR bit to 0.
When writing FBs and FCs in LAD, if you fail to manage the BR bit as
described above, one FB or FC may overwrite the BR bit of another FB
or FC.
To avoid this problem, store the RLO at the end of each FB or FC as
described above.

C
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) module contains the user program and
processes the data for the programmable logic controller.
D
A data block (DB) stores data for the user program. You define the structure
for the information that is stored in the DB. This information can be shared
with (accessed by) all of the logic blocks in a program, or can be used as a
specific instance of a particular FB (where the structure of the DB is
associated with the variable declaration table of the FB).
Data to be used in a program can be assigned a data type. When you define
symbolic names in the Symbol Editor or when you define block-local
variables in the variable declaration table, you must specify a data type. The
data type defines the length and organization for the bits of memory that is
being reserved by the CPU.
S Elementary data types: BOOL (boolean), BYTE, WORD, DWORD
(double-word), CHAR (character), INT (integer), DINT (double-integer),
REAL (floating point), TIME, DATE, TOD (time of day), and S5TIME.
The operating system allocates a fixed length of memory for each of the
elementary data types. For example, a boolean data type (BOOL) is one
bit, a byte (BYTE) is 8 bits, a word (WORD) is 2 bytes (or 16 bits), and a
double word (DWORD) is 4 bytes (or 32 bits).
S Complex data types: DT (data and time), STRING (up to 255 characters),
STRUCT, UDT and ARRAY. Complex data types are typically larger than
32 bits (4 bytes). You can create combinations of data types either by
defining a group of data types into a structure (STRUCT), or by defining
a number of a specific data types into an array.
S Parameter types: TIMER (timer number), COUNTER (counter number),
BLOCK_[DB, FB, FC, SDB, SFC, SFB] (number of the type of block
identified), POINTER (pointer reference to an address), or ANY (allows
an undefined, or any, data type).

the location of the value with which the instruction is to work. Compare

F
Formal parameters are declared in the variable declaration table of an FB or
FC. When you call the FB or FC, you must supply an actual parameter
(either an address or a value) to each formal parameter.
A function (FC) is a logic block which contains a program segment but has
no associated memory area. It functions like a sub-routine in a computer
program. You create FCs and call them from your program. Since your
program can call an FC many times (and pass different values for each call),
an FC is defined as a reusable block. When the FC finishes processing, the
local temporary data that was used by the FC is reallocated.
A function block (FB) is a logic block which contains a program segment and
has an associated memory area. Each time an FB is called, a data block
(instance DB) must be provided. A single FB can be called several times,
each time with a different instance DB. Parameters and static variables for
the FB are stored in the instance DB.
I
A type of addressing in which the actual value with which the instruction is
to work is provided as an input parameter. This value is the address of the
instruction. Compare Direct Addressing.
An instance DB provides memory for a specific call (or instance) of an FB.
By creating multiple instances (instance DBs) of an FB, you can use one FB
to control several devices.
The structure of an instance DB reflects the variable declaration table of an
FB. The instance DB stores the actual parameters for the in, out, in_out, and
var variables.
A ladder logic instruction tells the CPU of your programmable controller
what function the controller should perform. Ladder logic instructions can be
in the form of elements or boxes.

L
Ladder logic (LAD) is one of two languages of the STEP7 programming
software that you can use to program your STEP 7-300 programmable logic
controller (PLC). LAD is a graphic language whose components resemble
elements of a hard-wired control relay panel.
Logic blocks are the blocks within STEP 7 that contain the program for the
control logic. These are the organization blocks (OBs), functions and
function blocks (FCs and FBs), and system functions and system function
blocks (SFCs and SFBs). A data block (DB) is not considered a logic block.
M
The Master Control Relay (MCR) is an American relay ladder logic master
switch for energizing and de-energizing power flow (current path). A
de-energized current path corresponds to an instruction sequence that writes a
zero value instead of the calculated value, or, to an instruction sequence that
leaves the existing memory value unchanged.
A memory area represents the location in the CPU where an instruction finds
a value (data object) on which to perform an operation. Your programmable
logic controller has the following memory areas that you can designate as
part of the address of an instruction:
S Process-image input
S Process-image output
S Bit memory
S I/O (peripheral I/O)
S Timer
S Counter
S Data block
S Temporary data (dynamic local data)
Mnemonic representation is an abbreviated form for displaying the names of
addresses and programming instructions in the program (for example, I
stands for input and A stands for the And instruction). STEP 7 supports
the international representation (based on the English language), and the
SIMATIC representation (based on the German representations of the
instruction set and the SIMATIC addressing conventions).

O
See Address
P
A pointer is a device that identifies the location of a variable. A pointer
contains an address instead of a value. When assigning an actual parameter
for the parameter type pointer, you provide the memory address. STEP 7
allows you to enter the pointer in either a pointer format or simply as an
address (such as M 50.0). The following is an example of the pointer format
for accessing data starting at M 50.0:
P#M50.0
R
Bit 1 of the status word is called the result of logic operation bit (RLO bit).
This bit stores the result of a bit logic instruction or math comparison. The
signal state of the RLO bit can provide information related to power flow. A
signal state of 1 can indicate power flow (on); a signal state of 0 can indicate
no power flow (off).
For example, the first instruction in a rung of ladder logic checks the signal
state of a contact and produces a result of 1 or 0. The instruction stores the
result of this signal state check in the RLO bit. The second instruction in a
rung of bit logic instructions also checks the signal state of a contact and
produces a result. Then the instruction combines this result with the value
stored in the RLO bit of the status word according to the principles of
Boolean logic (see First Check above). The result of this logic operation is
stored in the RLO bit of the status word, replacing the former value in the
RLO bit. Each subsequent instruction in the rung performs a logic operation
on two values: the result produced when the instruction checks the contact,
and the current RLO.
You can use a Boolean bit logic instruction on a first check to assign the state
of the contents of a Boolean bit memory location to the RLO. You can also
use the RLO to trigger jump instructions.

S7 Standard Functions Part 2

A rung is a row of ladder logic instructions, generally input contacts and box
instructions, terminated by an output instruction at the end of the row. In
STEP 7 ladder logic, a rung constitutes a network.
S
Statement list (STL) is one of the languages of the STEP 7 programming
software that you can use to communicate with your S7 300 programmable
logic controller. Each statement in your program includes an instruction that
uses a mnemonic abbreviation to represent a function of the programmable
logic controller.
While every element in the CPU has an absolute address (such as I 0.0),
you can also create a symbolic name which can be used for addressing. For
example, you can associate input I 1.3 with Pump_2_feedback. The
symbolic names are defined in a symbol table that you create with the
Symbol Editor.
A system function (SFC) is a pre-programmed, tested function that is
integrated in the S7 operating system. You can call an SFC from your
program. Because SFCs are a part of the operating system, they do not take
up any space in the main memory. As with an FC, an SFC does not use an
instance DB.
A system function block (SFB) is a function block that is integrated in the S7
operating system. You can call an SFB from your program. Similar to the FB,
the SFB has its own working memory in which data can be stored until the
next time the SFB is called. This memory is implemented as an instance data
block (instance DB). You must create this DB (which is opened as part of the
Call instruction). Because SFBs are a part of the operating system, you do
not have to load them.
U
The user program contains the control logic for an automation project. This
control logic is stored in the form of instructions to the PLC which is
controlling plant or a process.
