Configurable and programmable properties

• I/O setup:
  Type and scope
• Startup and cycle behavior:
  Stipulation of maximum cycle time and loading as well as self-test functions
• Definition of the number of retentive bit memories, counters, timers and data blocks
• Clock memory:
  Address setting
• Protection level:
  Specifying the access rights to programs and data
• Definition of the handling and scope of diagnostic messages
• Cyclic interrupts:
  Setting of periodicity
• Time-of-day interrupts:
  Setting of date and time of start and periodicity

Display and information functions

• Status and error functions;
  LEDs indicate, for example, hardware, programming, time or I/O errors, as well as operating states such as RUN, STOP, restart, etc.
• Test functions;
  the PG is used to indicate signal statuses during program execution, to modify process variables independently of the user program and to output the contents of stack memories
• Information functions;
  you can use the programming device to obtain information about the storage capacity and operating mode of the CPU as well as the current utilization of the main and load memories, current cycle times and diagnostic buffer contents in plain text

Programming, parameterization

The ET 200pro with IM 154-8 F PN/DP CPU can be universally programmed, configured and diagnosed from any point in the network. STEP 7, V5.5 or higher, is used for this.

Option packages SIMATIC S7 Distributed Safety (Classic) and SIMATIC Safety Advanced V12 (TIA Portal V12)

The STEP 7 option packages "SIMATIC S7 Distributed Safety" (Classic) or SIMATIC Safety Advanced V12 (TIA Portal V12) are required for programming the safety-related program sections. The packages contain all the functions and blocks required to create an F program.

The F program with the safety functions is connected in F FBD or F LAD or using special function blocks from the F library. Use of F FBD or F LAD simplifies configuration and programming of the system and also acceptance testing thanks to the cross-system uniform presentation form. Programmers can concentrate fully on the safety-related application without having to use additional tools.
