Ladder Logic (LAD) for S7-300 and S7-400
C79000-G7076-C504-02
When a block is input incrementally, each line or element is checked
immediately for errors (for example syntax errors). If an error is detected, it
is marked and must be corrected before programming is completed.
Incremental input is possible in STL (Statement List), LAD (Ladder Logic),
and FBD (Function Block Diagram).
An “instance” is the call of a function block. If, for example, a function is
called five times in a STEP 7, then there are five instances. Each call is
assigned to an instance data block.
An instance data block stores the formal parameters and the static local data
of function blocks. An instance data block can be assigned to one or more
function blocks.
An instruction is part of a statement; it specifies what the processor should
do.
K
Key words are used when programming with source files to identify the start
and end of a block and to select sections in the declaration section of blocks,
the start of block comments and the start of titles.
L
Ladder Logic is a graphic programming language in STEP 5 and STEP 7. Its
representation is standardized in compliance with DIN 19239 (international
standard IEC 1131-1). Ladder Logic representation corresponds to the
representation of relay ladder logic diagrams. In contrast to Statement List
(STL), LAD has a restricted set of instructions. In STEP 5, this language is
known as Ladder Diagram.
Logic blocks are the blocks within STEP 7 that contain the program for the
control logic. In contrast, data blocks (DBs) only contain data. There are the
following types of logic blocks: organization blocks (OBs), functions (FCs),
function blocks (FBs), system functions (SFCs), and system function blocks
(SFBs).
