Bit Logic Instructions


Overview of Bit Logic Instructions

Description
Bit logic instructions work with two digits, 1 and 0. These two digits form the base of a number system called the binary system. The two digits 1 and 0 are called binary digits or bits. In conjunction with AND, OR, XOR and outputs, a 1 stands for logical YES and a 0 for logical NO. The bit logic instructions interpret signal states of 1 and 0 and combine them according to Boolean logic. These combinations produce a result of 1 or 0 that is called the result of logic operation (RLO). There are bit logic instructions to perform the following functions: AND, OR and Exclusive OR: these instructions check the signal state and produce a result that is either copied to the RLO bit or combined with it. AND-before-OR Logic Operation and OR-before-AND Logic Operation Assign and Midline Output. These instructions assign the RLO or store it temporarily. The following instructions react to an RLO of 1: S : Set Output R : Reset Output SR : Set_Reset Flip Flop RS : Reset_Set Flip Flop Other instructions react to a positive or negative edge transition to perform the following functions: N : Negative RLO Edge Detection P : Positive RLO Edge Detection NEG : Address Negative Edge Detection POS : Address Positive Edge Detection The remaining instructions affect the RLO directly in the following ways: Insert Binary Input Negate Binary Input SAVE : Save RLO to BR Memory

Bit Logic Instructions 1.2 >=1 : OR Logic Operation

1.2
Symbol

>=1 : OR Logic Operation

<address> <address>

>=1

Parameter <address>

Data Type BOOL

Memory Area I, Q, M, T, C, D, L

Description The address indicates the bit whose signal state will be checked.

Description
With the OR instruction, you can check the signal states of two or more specified addresses at the inputs of an OR box. If the signal state of one of the addresses is 1, the condition is satisfied and the instruction produces the result 1. If the signal state of all addresses is 0, the condition is not satisfied and the instruction produces the result 0. If the OR instruction is the first instruction in a string of logic operations, it saves the result of its signal state check in the RLO bit. Each OR instruction that is not the first instruction in the string of logic operations combines the result of its signal state check with the value stored in the RLO bit. These values are combined according to the OR truth table.

Status Word
BR writes CC1 CC0 OV OS OR X STA X RLO X FC 1

Example
I 0.0 I 0.1 >=1

Q 4.0 =

Output Q4.0 is set when the signal state is 1 at input I0.0 OR at input I0.1.

1.3
Symbol

& : AND Logic Operation

<address> <address>

&

Parameter <address>

Data Type BOOL

Memory Area I, Q, M, T, C, D, L

Description The address indicates the bit whose signal state will be checked.

Description
With the AND instruction, you can check the signal states of two or more specified addresses at the inputs of an AND box. If the signal state of all operands is 1, the condition is satisfied and the instruction provides the result 1. If the signal state of an address is 0, the condition is not satisfied and the instruction produces the result 0. If the AND instruction is the first instruction in a string of logic operations, it saves the result of its signal state check in the RLO bit. Every AND instruction that is not the first instruction in the string of logic operations, combines the result of its signal state check with the value stored in the RLO bit. These values are combined according to the AND truth table.

Status Word
BR writes CC1 CC0 OV OS OR X STA X RLO X FC 1

Example
I 0.0 I 0.1 &

Q 4.0 =

Output Q4.0 is set when the signal state is 1 at input I0.0 AND I0.1.

Bit Logic Instructions 1.4 AND-before-OR Logic Operation and OR-before-AND Logic Operation

1.4

AND-before-OR Logic Operation and OR-before-AND Logic Operation

Description
With the AND-before-OR instruction, you can check the result of a signal state according to the OR truth table. With an AND-before-OR logic operation the signal state is 1 when at least one AND logic operation is satisfied.

Status Word
BR writes CC1 CC0 OV OS OR X STA X RLO X FC 1

Example
I 1.0 I 1.1 I 1.2 I 1.3 & & >=1 Q 3.1 =

The signal state is 1 at output Q3.1 when at least one AND logic operation is satisfied The signal state is 0 at output Q3.1 when no AND logic operation is satisfied.

Description
With the OR-before-AND instruction, you can check the result of a signal state check according to the AND truth table. With an OR-before-AND logic operation the signal state is 1 when all OR logic operations are satisfied.

Status Word
BR CC1 CC0 OV OS OR STA RLO FC

When you negate the result of logic operation, you must remember certain rules: If the result of logic operation at the first input of an AND or OR box is negated, there is no nesting. If the result of logic operation is negated but not at the first input of an OR box, the entire binary logic operation before the input is included in the OR logic operation. If the result of logic operation is negated but not at the first input of a AND box, the entire binary logic operation before the input is included in the AND logic operation.

Parameter

Data Type

Description

<address>

BOOL

I, Q, M, D, L

The address specifies the bit to which the signal state of the string of logic operations is assigned.

Description
The Assign instruction produces the result of logic operation. The box at the end of a logic operation has the signal 1 or 0 according to the following criteria: The output has the signal 1 when the conditions of the logic operation before the output box are satisfied. The output has the signal 0 when the conditions of the logic operation before the output box are not satisfied. The FBD logic operation assigns the signal state to the output that is addressed by the instruction (to achieve the same effect, the signal state of the RLO bit could also be assigned to the address). If the conditions of the FBD logic operations are satisfied, the signal state at the output box is 1. Otherwise the signal state is 0. The Assign instruction is influenced by the Master Control Relay (MCR). For more detailed information about the functions of the MCR, refer to MCR on/off. You can only place the Assign box at the right-hand end of the string of logic operations. You can, however, use several Assign boxes. You can create a negated assignment with the Negate Input instruction.

SAVE

Description
The Save RLO to BR Memory instruction saves the RLO in the BR bit of the status word. The first check bit FC is not reset. For this reason, if there is an AND logic operation in the next network, the state of the BR bit is included in the logic operation. For the instruction SAVE (LAD, FBD, STL), the following applies and not the recommended use specified in the manual and online help: We do not recommend that you use SAVE and then check the BR bit in the same block or in subordinate blocks, because the BR bit can be modified by many instructions occurring inbetween. It is advisable to use the SAVE instruction before exiting a block, since the ENO output (= BR bit) is then set to the value of the RLO bit and you can then check for errors in the block. With the Save RLO to BR Memory instruction, the RLO of a network can form part of a logic operation in a subordinate block. The CALL instruction in the calling block resets the first check bit.

Counter Instructions
Overview of Counter Instructions

Area in Memory
Counters have an area reserved for them in the memory of your CPU. This memory area reserves one 16-bit word for each counter address. When you program in FBD, 256 counters are supported. The counter instructions are the only functions that have access to the counter memory area.

Count Value
Bits 0 through 9 of the counter word contain the count value in binary code. The count value is moved to the counter word when a counter is set. The range of the count value is 0 to 999. You can vary the count value within this range by using the following counter instructions: S_CUD : Assign Parameters and Count Up/Down S_CU : Assign Parameters and Count Up S_CD : Assign Parameters and Count Down SC : Set Counter Value CU : Up Counter CD : Down Counter

Counter Instructions 4.1 Overview of Counter Instructions

Bit Configuration in the Counter


You provide a counter with a preset value by entering a number from 0 to 999, for example 127, in the following format: C#127. The C# stands for binary coded decimal format (BCD format: each set of four bits contains the binary code for one decimal value). Bits 0 through 11 of the counter contain the count value in binary coded decimal format. The following figure shows the contents of the counter after you have loaded the count value 127, and the contents of the counter cell after the counter has been set.

A rising edge (change in signal state from 0 to 1) at input S of the Assign Parameters and Count Up/Down instruction sets the counter with the value at the Preset Value (PV) input. The counter is incremented by 1 if the signal state at input CU changes from 0 to 1 (rising edge) and the value of the counter is less than 999. The counter is decremented by 1 if the signal state at input CD changes from 0 to 1 (rising edge) and the value of the counter is higher than 0. If there is a rising edge at both count inputs, both operations are executed and the count remains the same. If the counter is set and if RLO = 1 at the inputs CU/CD, the counter will count once in the next scan cycle, even if there was no change from a positive to a negative edge or vice versa. The counter is reset if the signal on input R is "1". Resetting the counter sets the count value to 0. A signal state check for 1 at output Q produces a result of 1 when the count is greater than 0; the check produces a result of 0 when the count is equal to 0.

Number

BLOCK_FC

Number of the FC or SFC (for example FC10 or SFC59). The SFCs that are available depend on your CPU. A conditional call with a parameter of the data type BLOCK_FC as the address is only possible in an FB and not in an FC.

Description
With the Call FC/SFC without Parameters instruction, you can call a function (FC) or a system function (SFC) that has no parameters. The call is conditional or unconditional depending on the preceding logic operation (see the example). In the code section of a function (FC), you cannot specify any parameter of the type BLOCK_FC as the address for a conditional call. You can, however, specify a parameter of the type BLOCK_FC as the address in a function block (FB). A conditional call is executed only if the RLO is 1. If a conditional call is not executed, the RLO after the call instruction is 0. If the instruction is executed, the following functions are performed: The address required to return to the calling block is saved. The data block registers are saved (data block and instance data block). The MA bit (active MCR bit) is written to the block stack (BSTACK). The new local data area is created for the called FC or SFC. Program execution is then continued in the called block.

Example
DB 10 OPN MCRA FC 10 CALL Q 4.0 I 0.0 = MCRD FC 11 I 0.1 CALL

If the unconditional call for FC10 is executed, the CALL instruction performs the following functions: Saves the address required to return to the current FB. Saves the selectors for DB10 and for the instance data block of the FB. Pushes the MA bit, set to 1 in the MCRA instruction, to the block stack (BSTACK) and resets this bit to 0 for the called FC10 Program execution continues in FC10. If you want to use the MCR function in FC10, you must reactivate it there. When FC10 is completed, program execution returns to the calling FB. The MA bit is restored. DB10 and the instance data block of the user-defined FB are the current DBs again, regardless of which DBs were used by FC10. After the return jump from FC10, the signal state of input I0.0 is assigned to output Q4.0. The call for FC11 is a conditional call. It is executed only if the signal state of input I0.1 is 1. If the call is executed, the function is the same as for calling FC10.

If the unconditional FB11 call is executed, the following happens: The return address of the calling function block and the selection data for DB10 and the instance data block of the calling function block are saved. The MA bit that was set to 1 by the MCRA instruction is pushed to the BSTACK and then set to 0 for the called function block FB11. The program is continued in FB11. If FB11 requires the MCR, the MCR must be reactivated in the function block. The signal state of the RLO must be saved in the BR bit by the [SAVE] instruction to allow error evaluation in the calling FB. When FB11 has been executed, the program returns to the calling function block. The MA bit is restored and the instance data block of the function block written by the user once again becomes the open data block. If FB11 is executed correctly, the signal state of ENO is 1 and the state of Q4.0 is therefore also 1. Note With FB/SFB calls, the number of the previously open data block is lost. The required DB must be opened again.

Master Control Relay Instructions


Important Notes on Using MCR Functions

Definition of the Master Control Relay


The Master Control Relay (MCR, see also Master Control Relay On/Off) is used to activate and deactivate signal flow. A deactivated signal flow 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. Operations triggered by the instructions shown below are dependent on the MCR. The Assign and Midline Output instructions write a 0 to the memory if the MCR is 0. The Set Output and Reset Output instructions leave the existing value unchanged. Instructions affected by MCR zones are as follows: # : Midline Output = : Assign R : Reset Output S : Set Output SR : Set_Reset Flip Flop RS : Reset_Set Flip Flop MOVE : Assign Value

Program Control Instructions 10.10 Important Notes on Using MCR Functions

10.10

Important Notes on Using MCR Functions


Take care with blocks in which the Master Control Relay was activated with MCRA

If the MCR is deactivated, the value 0 is written by all assignments in program segments between Master Control Relay On and Master Control Relay Off. This is valid for all boxes which contain an assignment, including the parameter transfer to blocks. The MCR is deactivated if the RLO was = 0 before a Master Control Relay On instruction.

Danger: PLC in STOP or undefined runtime characteristics!


The compiler also uses write access to local data behind the temporary variables defined in VAR_TEMP for calculating addresses. This means the following command sequences will set the PLC to STOP or lead to undefined runtime characteristics:

Formal parameter access


Access to components of complex FC parameters of the type STRUCT, UDT, ARRAY, STRING Access to components of complex FB parameters of the type STRUCT, UDT, ARRAY, STRING from the IN_OUT area in a block with multiple instance capability (version 2 block). Access to parameters of a function block with multiple instance capability (version 2 block) if its address is greater than 8180.0. Access in a function block with multiple instance capability (version 2 block) to a parameter of the type BLOCK_DB opens DB0. Any subsequent data access sets the CPU to STOP. T 0, C 0, FC0, or FB0 are also always used for TIMER, COUNTER, BLOCK_FC, and BLOCK_FB. Calls in which parameters are transferred. T branches and midline outputs in Ladder or FBD starting with RLO = 0.

Parameter passing

LAD/FBD

Remedy Free the above commands from their dependence on the MCR:
1st Deactivate the Master Control Relay using the Master Control Relay Deactivate instruction before the statement or network in question. 2nd Activate the Master Control Relay again using the Master Control Relay Activate instruction after the statement or network in question.

MCR</MCR> : Master Control Relay On/Off


Important Notes on Using MCR Functions

Symbol
MCR<

MCR On
The Master Control Relay On (MCR<) instruction triggers an operation that saves the RLO in the MCR stack and opens an MCR zone. The instructions shown in MCR Instructions are influenced by this RLO that is saved in the MCR stack when the MCR zone is opened. The MCR stack works like a LIFO (Last In, First Out) buffer. Only eight entries are possible. If the stack is already full, the Master Control Relay On instruction produces an MCR stack error (MCRF).

Symbol
MCR>

MCR Off
The Master Control Relay Off (MCR>) instruction closes the MCR zone that was opened last. The instruction does this by removing the RLO entry from the MCR stack. The RLO was saved there by the Master Control Relay On instruction. The entry released at the other end of the LIFO (Last In, First Out) MCR stack is set to 1. If the stack is already empty, the Master Control Relay Off instruction produces an MCR stack error (MCRF).

Program Control Instructions 10.11 MCR</MCR> : Master Control Relay On/Off

MCR-Stack
The MCR is controlled by a stack which is one bit wide and eight entries deep. The MCR is activated as long as all eight entries in the stack are equal to 1. The MCR< instruction copies the RLO to the MCR stack. The MCR> instruction removes the last entry from the stack and sets the released stack address to 1. If an error occurs, for example, if there are more than eight MCR> instructions in succession, or you attempt to execute the instruction MCR> when the stack is empty, the MCRF error message is activated. The monitoring of the MCR stack is based on the stack pointer (MSP: 0 = empty, 1 = one entry, 2 = two entries, ..., 8 = eight entries).

RLO

Shifted Bit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

MSP

RLO RLO RLO

Shifted Bit 1
MA MCRA 1 0 MCRD

MSP = MCR stack pointer MA = Bit controlling MCR dependency

The MCR< instruction adopts the signal state of the RLO and copies it to the MCR bit. The MCR> instruction sets the MCR bit to 1 unconditionally. Because of this characteristic, every other instruction between the instructions MCRA and MCRD operates independent of the MCR bit.

Nesting the Instructions MCR< and MCR>


You can nest the instructions MCR< and MCR>. The maximum nesting depth is eight, in other words, you can write a maximum of eight MCR< instructions in succession before inserting an MCR> instruction. You must program an equal number of MCR< and MCR> instructions. If the MCR< instructions are nested, the MCR bit of the lower nesting level is formed. The MCR< instruction then combines the current RLO with the current MCR bit according to the AND truth table. When an MCR> instruction completes a nesting level, it fetches the MCR bit from a higher level.

When the MCRA instruction activates the MCR function, you can create up to eight nested MCR zones. In the example, there are two MCR zones. The first MCR> instruction works together with the second MCR< instruction. All instructions between the second set of MCR brackets (MCR<MCR>) belong to the second MCR zone. The operations are executed as follows If I0.0 = 1: the signal state of input I0.4 is assigned to output Q4.1.

MCRA/MCRD : Master Control Relay Activate/Deactivate


Important Notes on Using MCR Functions

Symbol
MCRA

MCR Activate
With the Activate Master Control Relay, instruction, you make subsequent commands dependent on the MCR. After entering this command, you can program the MCR zones with these instructions (see Master Control Relay On/Off). When your program activates an MCR area, all MCR actions depend on the content of the MCR stack.

Symbol
MCRD

MCR Deactivate
With the Deactivate Master Control Relay instruction, subsequent commands are no longer dependent on the MCR. After this instruction, you cannot program any more MCR zones. When your program deactivates an MCR area, the MCR is always energized irrespective of the entries in the MCR stack. The MCR stack and the bit that controls its dependency (the MA bit) relate to individual levels and must be saved and fetched every time you change the sequence level. They are preset at the beginning of every sequence level (MCR input bits 1 to 8 are set to 1, the MCR stack pointer is set to 0 and the MA bit is set to 0). The MCR stack is transferred from block to block and the MA bit is saved and set to 0 every time a block is called. It is fetched back at the end of the block. The MCR can be implemented in such a way that it optimizes the run time of code-generating CPUs. The reason for this is that the dependency of the MCR is not passed on by the block; it must be explicitly activated by an MCR instruction. A code-generating CPU recognizes this instruction and generates the additional code necessary for the evaluation of the MCR stack until it recognizes an MCR instruction or reaches the end of the block. With instructions outside the MCRA/MCRD range, there is no increase of the run time. The instructions MCRA and MCRD must always be used in pairs within your program.

If the signal state of input I0.0 is 0: -

You must program the dependency of the functions (FCs) and function blocks (FBs) in the blocks yourself. If this function or function block is called from an MCRA/MCRD sequence, not all instructions within this sequence are automatically dependent on the MCR bit. To achieve this, use the instruction MCRA of the block called.

Shift and Rotate Instructions


Shift Instructions
Overview of Shift Instructions

Description
You can use the Shift instructions to move the contents of input IN bit by bit to the left or the right (see also CPU Registers). Shifting n bits to the left multiplies the contents of input IN by 2 to the power n (2 n); shifting n bits to the right divides the contents of input IN by 2 to the power n (2 n). For example, if you shift the binary equivalent of the decimal value 3 to the left by 3 bits, you obtain the binary equivalent of the decimal value 24. If you shift the binary equivalent of the decimal value 16 to the right by 2 bits, you obtain the binary equivalent of the decimal value 4. The number that you supply for input parameter N indicates the number of bits by which the value is shifted. The bit places that are vacated by the Shift instruction are either padded with zeros or with the signal state of the sign bit (0 stands for positive and 1 stands for negative). The signal state of the bit that is shifted last is loaded into the CC1 bit of the status word, see also CPU Registers. The CC0 and OV bits of the status word are reset to 0. You can use jump instructions to evaluate the CC1 bit. The following Shift instructions are available: SHR_I : Shift Right Integer SHR_DI : Shift Right Double Integer SHL_W : Shift Left Word SHR_W : Shift Right Word SHL_DW : Shift Left Double Word SHR_DW : Shift Right Double Word

Description
A signal state of 1 at the Enable input (EN) activates the Shift Right Integer instruction. This instruction shifts bits 0 to 15 of input IN bit by bit to the right. Input N specifies the number of bits by which the value will be shifted. If N is higher than 16, the command behaves as if N were 16. The bit positions at the left are padded according to the signal state of bit 15 (the sign of an integer number). They are filled with zeros if the number is positive, and with ones if it is negative. The result of the shift operation can be scanned at output OUT. The operation triggered by this instruction always resets the CC0 and OV bits of the status word to 0 if N is not equal to zero. ENO has the same signal state as EN.

Description
A signal state of 1 at the Enable input (EN) activates the Shift Right Double Integer instruction. This instruction shifts the entire contents of input IN bit by bit to the right. Input N specifies the number of bits by which the value will be shifted. If N is higher than 32, the command behaves as if N were 32. The bit positions at the left are padded according to the signal state of bit 31 (the sign of a double integer number). They are filled with zeros if the number is positive, and with ones if it is negative. The result of the shift operation can be scanned at output OUT. The operation triggered by this instruction always resets the CC0 and OV bits of the status word to 0 if N is not equal to zero. ENO has the same signal state as EN.

Status Bit Instructions


Overview of Status Bit Instructions

Description
The status bit instructions are bit logic instructions that work with the bits of the status word (see CPU Registers). Each of these instructions reacts to one of the following conditions that is indicated by one or more bits of the status word: The binary result bit (BR) is set (has a signal state of 1). The result of a math function is relative to 0 in one of the following ways: == 0, <> 0, > 0, < 0, >= 0, <= 0. The result of a math function is unordered (UO). A math function produced an overflow (OV) or a or a stored overflow (OS). When a status bit instruction is connected in series, it combines the result of its signal state check with the previous result of logic operation according to the And truth table. When a status bit instruction is connected in parallel, it combines its result with the previous RLO according to the Or truth table.

Status word
The status word is a Register in the memory of your CPU that contains bits that you can reference in the address of bit and word logic instructions. Structure of the status word:

2 ...

15

You can evaluate the bits in the status word by Integer Math Functions by Floating-Point Functions

You can use the Exception Bit Overflow instruction to detect an overflow (OV) in the last math function. If, after the system executes a math function, the result is outside the permitted negative range or outside the permitted positive range, the OV bit in the status word (see also CPU Registers) is set. The instruction checks the signal state of this bit. This bit is reset if the math functions were free of errors

The result of a signal state check at OV is 1. Output Q4.0 is set if the check at OV is 1 and the RLO of network 2 is 1 (if the RLO prior to output Q4.0 is 1). If the signal state of input I0.0 is 0 (not activated), the signal state of both EN and ENO is 0. If the signal state of EN is 1 (activated) and the result of the math function is out of range, the signal state of ENO is 0.

Description
In an AND operation, this instruction combines the result of its check with the previous result of logic operation according to the AND truth table. In an OR operation, the OR truth table is used. You can use the Exception Bit Overflow Stored instruction to recognize a previous overflow (overflow stored, OS) in a math function. If, after the system executes a math function, the result is outside the permitted negative range or outside the permitted positive range, the OS bit in the status word (see also CPU Registers) is set. The instruction checks the signal state of this bit. Unlike the OV (overflow) bit, the OS bit remains set even if later math functions were executed free of errors (see also Exception Bit Overflow).

Description
You can use the Exception Bit Unordered instruction to check whether or not the result of a floating-point math function is unordered (in other words, whether one of the values in the math function is not a valid floating-point number). The condition code bits of the status word (CC 1 and CC 0, see CPU Registers) are evaluated. If the result of the math function is unordered (UO) the signal state check produces a result of 1. If the combination in CC 1 and CC 0 does not indicate unordered, the result of the signal state check is 0.

If the signal state at input I0.0 is 1, the DIV_R box is activated. If the value of either input double word ID0 or ID4 is not a valid floating-point number, the floating-point math function is unordered. If the signal state of EN is 1 (activated) and an error occurs while the instruction is being executed, the signal state of ENO is 0. Output Q4.0 is set if the function DIV_R is executed, but one of the values in the math function is not a valid floating-point number. If the signal state of input I0.0 is 0 (not activated), the signal state of both EN and ENO is 0.

Symbols

<> 0 : Result Bits

== 0 <> 0 >0 <0 >= 0 <= 0

The Result Bit instruction for equal to 0 determines whether or not the result of a math instruction is equal to 0. The Result Bit instruction for not equal to 0 determines whether or not the result of a math instruction is not equal to 0. The Result Bit instruction for greater than 0 determines whether or not the result of a math instruction is greater than 0 The Result Bit instruction for less than 0 determines whether or not the result of a math instruction is less than 0. The Result Bit instruction for greater than or equal to 0 determines whether or not the result of a math instruction greater than or equal to 0. The Result Bit instruction for less than or equal to 0 determines whether or not the result of a math instruction is less than or equal to 0.

Description
You can use the Result Bit instructions to determine the relationship of the result of a math function to zero, in other words, whether the result is ==0, <>0; >0, <0, >=0 OR <=0. The condition code bits of the status word (CC 1 and CC 0, see CPU Registers) are evaluated. If the comparison condition indicated in the address is fulfilled, the result of this signal state check is 1. In an AND operation, this instruction combines the result of its check with the previous result of logic operation (RLO) according to the AND truth table. In an OR operation, this instruction combines the result of its check with the previous RLO according to the OR truth table.

13.2

Memory Areas and Components of a Timer

Memory Area
Times have an area reserved for them in the memory of your CPU. This memory area reserves one 16-bit word for each timer address. When you program in FBD, 256 timers are supported. Please refer to your CPU's technical information to check the number of timer words available. The following functions access the timer memory area: Timer instructions Updating of timer words by the clock timing. In the RUN mode, this CPU function decrements a given time value by one unit at the interval specified by the time base until the time value is zero.

Time Value
Bits 0 through 9 of the timer word contain the time value in binary code. The time value specifies a number of units. When the timer is updated, the time value is decremented by one unit at intervals specified by the time base. The time value is decremented until it is equal to zero. You can pre-load a time value using either of the following formats: S5T#aH_bM_cS_dMS Where H = hours, M = minutes, S = seconds, and MS = milliseconds; a, b, c, d are defined by the user. The time base is selected automatically, and the value is rounded to the next lower number with that time base.

The maximum time value that you can enter is 9,990 seconds, or 2H_46M_30S. S5TIME#4S = 4 seconds s5t#2h_15m = 2 hours and 15 minutes S5T#1H_12M_18S = 1 hour, 12 minutes, and 18 seconds

Timer Instructions 13.2 Memory Areas and Components of a Timer

Time Base
Bits 12 and 13 of the timer word contain the time base in binary code. The time base defines the interval at which the time value is decremented by one unit. The smallest time base is 10 ms; the largest is 10 s.
Time Base Binary Code for the Time Base

10 ms 100 ms 1s 10 s

00 01 10 11

Because time values are saved at only one time interval, values that are not exact multiples of a time interval are truncated. Values with a resolution too high for the required range are rounded down to within the required range but not to the desired resolution. The following table shows the possible resolutions and the corresponding ranges.
Resolution Time Base

0.01 seconds 0.1 seconds 1 second 10 seconds

10MS to 9S_990MS 100MS to 1M_39S_900MS 1S to 16M_39S 10S to 2HR_46M_30S

Bit Configuration in the Timer Cell


When a timer is started, the contents of the timer cell are used as the time value. Bits 0 through 11 of the timer cell contain the time value in binary coded decimal format (BCD format: each group of four bits contains the binary code for one decimal value). Bits 12 and 13 contain the time base in binary code. The following Figure shows the contents of the timer cell loaded with timer value 127 with a time base of 1 second.

Description

The maximum time that the output signal remains at 1 is the same as the programmed time value t. The output signal stays at 1 for a shorter period if the input signal changes to 0. The output signal remains at 1 for the programmed length of time, regardless of how long the input signal stays at 1. The output signal changes to 1 only when the programmed time has elapsed and the input signal is still 1. The output signal changes from 0 to 1 only when the programmed time has elapsed, regardless of how long the input signal stays at 1. The output signal changes to 1 when the input signal changes to 1 or while the timer is running. The time is started when the input signal changes from 1 to 0.

Description
The Assign Pulse Timer Parameters and Start instruction starts a specified timer if there is a rising edge (a change in signal state from 0 to 1) at the Start (S) input. A signal change is always necessary to start a timer. The timer continues to run for the time specified at the Time Value (TV) input until the programmed time elapses, as long as the signal state at input TV is 1. While the timer is running, a signal state check for 1 at output Q produces a result of 1. If there is a change from 1 to 0 at the S input before the time has elapsed, the timer is stopped. Then a signal state check for 1 at output Q produces a result of 0. While the timer is running, a change from 0 to 1 at the Reset (R) input of the timer resets the timer. This change also resets the time and the time base to zero. A signal state of 1 at the R input of the timer has no effect if the timer is not running. The current time value can be scanned at outputs BI and BCD. The time value at BI is in binary format; at BCD it is in binary coded decimal format.

Data Type
TIMER S5TIME

Memory Area Description


T E, A, M, D, L or constant The address specifies the number of the timer which is to be started. Timer value (S5TIME format)

Description
The Start Off-Delay Timer instruction starts the specified timer if there is a falling edge (change in signal state from 1 to 0) in the RLO. The result of a signal state check for 1 is 1 if the RLO is 1 or if the timer is running. If the RLO changes from 0 to 1 while the timer is running, the timer is reset. The timer is then restarted when the RLO changes from 1 to 0. You will find more information about memory areas and components of a timer in Memory Areas. You can only place the box Start Off-Delay Timer at the right-hand end of a logic string. You can use a number of Start Off-Delay Timer boxes.

Word Logic Instructions


Overview of Word Logic Instructions

Description
Word logic instructions compare pairs of words (16 bits) and double words (32 bits) bit by bit, according to Boolean logic. The value of the result at output OUT relative to 0 affects the CC1 bit in the status word as follows: If the result at output OUT is not equal to 0, the CC1 bit in the status word is set to 1. If the result at output OUT is 0, the CC1 bit in the status word is set to 0. The following instructions are available for performing word logic operations: WAND_W : AND Word (Word) WOR_W : OR Word (Word) WXOR_W : Exclusive OR Word (Word) WAND_DW : AND Double Word (Word) WOR_DW : OR Double Word (Word) WXOR_DW : Exclusive OR Double Word (Word)

The following figure shows a conveyor belt that can be activated electrically. There are two push button switches at the beginning of the belt: S1 for START and S2 for STOP. There are also two push button switches at the end of the belt: S3 for START and S4 for STOP. It it possible to start or stop the belt from either end. Also, sensor S5 stops the belt when an item on the belt reaches the end.

Absolute and symbolic Programming


You can write a program to control the conveyor belt using absolute values or symbols that represent the various components of the conveyor system. You need to make a symbol table to correlate the symbols you choose with absolute values (see the STEP 7 Online Help).

Storage Area with Counter and Comparator


The following figure shows a system with two conveyor belts and a temporary storage area in between them. Conveyor belt 1 delivers packages to the storage area. A photoelectric barrier at the end of conveyor belt 1 near the storage area determines how many packages are delivered to the storage area. Conveyor belt 2 transports packages from the temporary storage area to a loading dock where trucks take the packages away for delivery to customers. A photoelectric barrier at the end of conveyor belt 2 near the storage area determines how many packages leave the storage area to go to the loading dock. A display panel with five lamps indicates the fill level of the temporary storage area.

Clock Pulse Generator


You can use a clock pulse generator or flasher relay when you need to produce a signal that repeats periodically. A clock pulse generator is common in a signalling system that controls the flashing of indicator lamps. When you use the S7-300, you can implement the clock pulse generator function by using time-driven processing in special organization blocks. The example shown in the following FBD program, however, illustrates the use of timer functions to generate a clock pulse. The sample program shows how to implement a freewheeling clock pulse generator by using a timer.

Signal Check
A signal check of timer T1 produces the following result of logic operation (RLO) for the negated input parameter of the AND logic operation (M0.2) in the clock pulse example:

1 0 250 ms

As soon as the time runs out, the timer is restarted. Because of this, the signal produces a signal state of 1 only briefly. The negated (inverted) RLO:

1 0 250 ms

Every 250 ms the RLO bit is 0. The jump is ignored and the contents of memory word MW100 is incremented by 1.

EN/ENO Mechanism
The enable (EN) and enable output (ENO) of FBD/LAD boxes is achieved by means of the BR bit. If EN and ENO are connected, the following applies:

ENO = EN AND NOT (box error)


If no error occurs (box error = 0), ENO = EN. The EN/ENO mechanism is used for: Math instructions, Transfer and conversion instructions, Shift and rotate instructions, Block calls. Comparisons, Counters, Timers.

This mechanism is not used for:

Around the actual instructions in the box, additional STL instructions are generated for the EN/ENO mechanism with dependency on the existing preceding and subsequent logic operations. The four possible cases are shown using the example of an adder: 1. Adder with EN and with ENO Connected 2. Adder with EN and without ENO Connected 3. Adder without EN and with ENO Connected 4. Adder without EN and without ENO Connected

Note on Creating Your Own Blocks


If you want to program blocks which you want to call in FBD or LAD, you must ensure that the BR bit is set when the block is exited. The fourth example shows that this is not automatically the case. You cannot use the BR as a memory bit because it is constantly overwritten by the EN/ENO mechanism. Instead, use a temporary variable in which you save any errors which occur. Initialize this variable with 0. At each point in the block at which you think an unsuccessful instruction represents an error for the whole block, set this variable using the assistance of the EN/ENO mechanism. A NOT and a SET coil will be sufficient for this. At the end of the block program the following network:
end: AN error SAVE

Ensure that this network is processed in every case, which means you must not use BEC within the block and skip this network.

Adder with EN and with ENO Connected


If the adder has an EN and an ENO connected, the following STL instructions are triggered:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 _001: A 11 = SAVE CLR BR Q T L A JNB _001 L in2 +I out AN I 0.0 // EN connection

// Shift RLO into BR and jump if RLO = 0 in1 // Box parameter

// Box parameter // Actual addition // Box parameter OV // Error recognition

// Save error in BR // First check // Shift BR into RLO 4.0

Following line 1 the RLO contains the result of the preceding logic operation. The JNB instruction copies the RLO into the BR bit and sets the first check bit. If the RLO = 0, the program jumps to line 10 and resumes with A BR. The addition is not executed. In line 10 the BR is copied into the RLO again and 0 is thus assigned to the output. If the RLO = 1, the program does not jump, meaning the addition is executed. In line 7 the program evaluates whether an error occurred during addition, this is then stored in BR in line 8. Line 9 sets the first check bit. Now the BR bit is copied back into the RLO in line 10 and thus the output shows whether the addition was successful or not. The BR bit is not changed by lines 10 and 11, so it also shows whether the addition was successful.

Adder with EN and without ENO Connected


If the adder has an EN but no ENO connected, the following STL instructions are triggered:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 _001: +I T NOP out 0 L A I 0.0 JNB _001 in1 L in2 // EN connection // Shift RLO into BR and jump if RLO = 0 // Box parameter // Box parameter // Actual addition // Box parameter

Following line 1 the RLO contains the result of the preceding logic operation. The JNB instruction copies the RLO into the BR bit and sets the first check bit. If the RLO = 0, the program jumps to line 7 and the addition is not executed. The RLO and BR are 0. If RLO was 1, the program does not jump, meaning the addition is executed. The program does not evaluate whether an error occurred during addition. The RLO and BR are 1.

C.1.3

Adder without EN and with ENO Connected


If the adder has no EN but an ENO connected, the following STL instructions are triggered:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 CLR A = Q 4.0 BR AN +I T OV SAVE out L in1 L in2 // Box parameter // Box parameter // Actual addition // Box parameter // Error recognition // Save error in BR // First check // Shift BR into RLO

The addition is executed in every case. In line 5 the program evaluates whether an error occurred during addition, this is then stored in BR in line 6. Line 7 sets the first check bit. Now the BR bit is copied back into the RLO in line 8 and thus the output shows whether the addition was successful or not. The BR bit is not changed by lines 8 and 9, so it also shows whether the addition was successful.

Working with Function Block Diagram C.2 Parameter Transfer

C.2

Parameter Transfer
The parameters of a block are transferred as a value. With function blocks a copy of the actual parameter value in the instance data block is used in the called block. With functions a copy of the actual value lies in the local data stack. Pointers are not copied. Prior to the call the INPUT values are copied into the instance DB or to the L stack. After the call the OUTPUT values are copied back into the variables. Within the called block you can only work on a copy. The STL instructions required for this are in the calling block and remain hidden from the user.

Note If memory bits, inputs, outputs or peripheral I/Os are used as actual address of a function they are treated in a different way than the other addresses. Here, updates are carried out directly, not via L-Stack. Exception: If the corresponding formal parameter is an input parameter of the data type BOOL, the current parameters are updated via the L stack.

CAUTION When programming the called block, ensure that the parameters declared as OUTPUT are also written. Otherwise the values output are random! With function blocks the value will be the value from the instance DB noted by the last call, with functions the value will be the value which happens to be in the L stack. Note the following points:

Initialize all OUTPUT parameters if possible. Try not to use any Set and Reset instructions. These instructions are dependent on the RLO. If the RLO has the value 0, the random value will be retained. If you jump within the block, ensure that you do not skip any locations where OUTPUT parameters are written. Do not forget BEC and the effect of the MCR instructions.
