Notes on programming for SIMATIC S7-300
2.1
SIMATIC S7-300 automation system

The SIMATIC S7-300 automation system is a modular microcontroller system for the low and medium
performance range.
A comprehensive range of modules is available to optimally adapt the system to the automation task.
The S7 controller consists of a power supply, a CPU, and input and output modules for digital and
analog signals.
If necessary, communication processors and function modules are also used for special tasks such as
stepper motor control.
The programmable logic controller (PLC) uses the S7 program to monitor and control a machine or a
process. The S7 program scans the I/O modules via input addresses (%I) and addresses their output
addresses (%Q).
The system is programmed with the STEP 7 software.
2.2

3.
Analog signals
In contrast to a binary signal, which can assume only two signal states (Voltage present +24 V and
Voltage not present 0 V), analog signals can assume any value within a defined range. An example of
a typical analog sensor is a potentiometer. Depending on the position of the rotary button, any
resistance can be set, up to the maximum value.
Examples of analog variables in control engineering:
-
Temperature -50 to +150 C
Flow rate 0 to 200 l/min
Speed 500 to 1500 rpm
etc.
These variables are converted to electrical voltages, currents, or resistances using a measuring
transducer. If, for example, a speed is to be recorded, the speed range of 500 to 1500 rpm can be
converted to a voltage range of 0 to +10 V using a transducer. At a measured speed of 865 rpm, the
measuring transducer then outputs a voltage value of +3.65 V.

These electrical voltages, currents, or resistances are then connected to an analog module that
digitalizes this signal.
Note: Some analog modules can process a variety of signal types. This must be set in the device
overview. Please refer to the information in the device manuals.

Page 7 of 31


If analog variables will be processed with a PLC, the read-in voltage, current, or resistance value must
be converted to digital information. This conversion is referred to as analog-digital conversion (A/D
conversion). This means, for example, that the voltage value of 3.65 V is stored as information in a
series of binary digits. The more binary digits the digital representation uses, the finer the resolution is.
For example, if only 1 bit was available for the voltage range of 0 to +10 V, it would only be possible to
indicate that the measured voltage falls within the range of 0 to +5 V or the range of +5 V to +10 V. With
2 bits, the range can be divided into 4 individual ranges, i.e., 0 to 2.5 / 2.5 to 5 / 5 to 7.5 / 7.5 to 10 V.
Conventional A/D converters in control engineering use 8 or 11 bits for converting.
8 bits provide 256 individual ranges, while 11 bits provide a resolution of 2048 individual ranges.

Note: The INT and REAL data types play a major role in analog value processing since read-in
analog values exist as integers in INT format, and for accurate further processing only REAL floating
point numbers are a possibility due to the rounding errors with INT.

Page 9 of 31


5.
Reading in/outputting analog values

Analog values are read into the PLC or output from the PLC as word information. These words are
accessed, for example, with the following operands:
%IW 272
%QW 272
Analog input word 272

Analog output word 272
Each analog value (channel) occupies one input or output word. The format is Int, an integer.
The addressing of the input and output words is based on the addressing in the device overview.
For example:
Here, the address of the first analog input would be %IW 272, the address of the second analog input
would be %IW 274, the address of the analog output would be %QW 272 , and so on.

Page 10 of 31


The analog value transformation for further processing in the PLC is the same for analog inputs and
analog outputs.
The digitalized value ranges appear as follows:
Nominal range of the analog value
0 A/0 V
20 mA/10 V
10 mA/5 V
Digitalized value for further processing in

the PLC
Often, these digitalized values must still be scaled by further processing them in the PLC in an
appropriate manner.
5.1
Scaling analog values

If an analog input value exists as a digitalized value, it must usually still be scaled so that the numeric
values correspond to the physical values in the process.
Likewise, the analog output to the I/O output word usually occurs only after the output value has been
scaled.
In STEP 7 programs, math functions are used for the scaling. To enable scaling to be as accurate as
possible, the values for the scaling must be converted to the REAL data type to minimize rounding
errors.
The following sections will present an example based on the monitoring of the fill level in a tank.

Page 11 of 31


6.
Example task for fill level monitoring in a tank

For our example, fill level monitoring will be programmed.
A sensor measures the fill level in a tank and converts this to a voltage signal of 0 to 10 V.
Here, 0 V corresponds to a fill level of 100 liters and 10 V to a fill level of 1000 liters.
This sensor is connected to the first analog input of the SIMATIC S7-300. This signal will then be read
in and scaled in a function FC1.
Then, a monitoring and display function for the maximum permissible fill level of 990 liters and a
monitoring function for the minimum permissible fill level of 110 litres will be programmed.

7.
Programming the fill level monitoring for SIMATIC S7-300

The Totally Integrated Automation Portal software is used for project management and
programming.
Components such as control, visualization, and networking of the automation solution are created,
assigned parameters, and programmed here using a standard interface.
Online tools are available for the error diagnostics.
The following steps enable you to create a project for the SIMATIC S7-300 and to program the
solution for the task:
1.
The central tool is the Totally Integrated Automation Portal, which is opened here with a
double-click. ( TIA Portal V11)
2.
Programs for the SIMATIC S7-300 are managed in projects. Start by creating a project in the
portal view ( Create new project Tank_Analog Create).

Page 13 of 31


3.
First steps for configuring are now suggested. We want to start with Configure a device.
( First steps Configure a device)
4.
Next, we will Add a new device. Choose the CPU 315F-2 PN/DP with the appropriate order
number from the catalog. ( Add new device Control_Tank CPU 315F-2 PN/DP
6ES7 . Add)

Page 14 of 31


5.
The software now switches automatically to the project view containing the opened hardware
configuration. Additional modules can now be added from the hardware catalog (on the right!)
and the addresses of the inputs/outputs can be set in the Device overview. Here, there is one
I/O module with 16 inputs (addresses %I0.0 - %I1.7) and 16 outputs (addresses %Q0.0 %Q1.7). ( Device overview DI/DO DI16/DO16 x 24V/0.5A 6ES7 323-1BL00-0AA0
I address: 01 Q address: 01)

Page 15 of 31


6.
After that, drag an AI/AO module with 4 analog inputs (addresses %IW272 / %IW274 / %IW276
/ %IW278) and 2 analog outputs (addresses %QW272 / %QW274) onto slot 5. ( Device
overview AI/AO AI4/AO2 x 8Bit 6ES7 334-0CE01-0AA0 I address: 272279 Q
address: 272275)

Page 16 of 31


7.
To ensure that the software will access the correct CPU later, the IP address and the subnet
mask of the CPU must be set. ( Properties General PROFINET interface [X2]
Ethernet addresses IP protocol IP address: 192.168.0.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0)
(see also: SCE_EN_030-010 module on setting the programming interface.)

Page 17 of 31


8.
Because modern programming uses tags and not absolute addresses, the global PLC tags
must be defined here.
These global PLC tags are descriptive names with a comment for each input and output used in the
program. The global PLC tags can then be accessed later during programming via their names.
These global tags can be used in all blocks anywhere in the program.
In the project tree, select Control_Tank [CPU 315F-2 PN/DP] and then PLC tags. Double-click
the default tag table to open it, and enter the names for the inputs and outputs as shown below.
( Control_Tank [CPU 315F-2 PN/DP] PLC tags default tag table)
Note: Note also the data types of the tags.

Page 18 of 31


9.
Next, we want to create the function with the program. In the project tree, select Control_Tank
[CPU 315F-2 PN/DP] and then Program blocks. Then, double-click Add new block.
( Control_Tank [CPU 315F-2 PN/DP] Program blocks Add new block)

Page 19 of 31


10. Select Function (FC) and assign the name Fill level monitoring. Specify the FBD function
block diagram as programming language. The numbering will be automatic. Since this FC1 will
be called using its symbolic name later, the number does not play an important role. Click OK
to accept your entries. ( Function (FC1) Fill level monitoring FBD OK)

Page 20 of 31


11. The Fill level monitoring [FC1] block opens automatically. The interface of the block must be
declared before the program can be written. In the interface declaration, the local tags known
only in this block are defined.
The tags are divided into two groups:
Block parameters that form the block interface for the call in the program.
Type

which may be after several
cycles.

Page 21 of 31


12. In this example, the tags shown here are specified in the declaration of the local tags. All local
tags should also be provided with a sufficiently descriptive comment for better understanding.
Note: Note also the data types of the tags.

Page 22 of 31


13. For scaling, we need the SCALE instruction from the Conversion operations folder in the
function block diagram (FBD). Create the program for reading in and scaling the analog value
as shown in the 2 networks here. ( Conversion operations SCALE)
Note: Refer to the online help for information on the function and connection of the SCALE block.

Page 23 of 31


14. In Networks 3 and 4, program the two Comparator operations CMP>= and CMP<= as
shown here in order to evaluate the scaled analog value and to control the binary fill level
displays. Make sure to convert the comparator operations to the correct data type (Real) for
floating-point numbers as shown here. ( Comparator operations CMP>= Real
CMP<= Real)

Page 24 of 31


15. The next step is to select the Properties of the cyclically processed Main [OB1] block.
( Main [OB1] Properties)
16. For the Language, choose the FBD function block diagram programming language. ( FBD
OK)

Page 25 of 31


17. The Fill level monitoring block must now be called from the Main [OB1] program block.
Double-click Main [OB1] to open this block. ( Main [OB1])
18. The Fill level monitoring [FC1] block can then be moved into Network 1 of the Main [OB1]
block using a drag-and-drop operation. Don't forget to document the networks in the Main [OB1]
block. ( Fill level monitoring [FC1])

Page 26 of 31


19. Now, interconnect the input tags and the output tag with the PLC tags shown here in OB1.
Then, click

to save the project. (
