Ladder Logic (LAD) for S7-300 and S7-400
C79000-G7076-C504-02
S
A container for user programs, source files, and charts for S7 programmable
controllers. The S7 program also includes the symbol table.
A shared data block is a DB whose address is loaded in the DB address
register when it is opened. It provides storage and data for all logic blocks
(FC, FB, or OB) that are being executed.
In contrast, an instance DB is designed to be used as specific storage and data
for the FB with which it has been associated.
The SIMATIC Manager is the graphical user interface for SIMATIC users
under Windows 95.
A source file (text file) is part of a program created either with a graphic or a
textual Editor and is compiled into an executable S7 user program or the
machine code for M7.
An S7 source file is stored un the “Sources” folder in the S7 program.
A statement is the smallest independent part of a user program created in a
textual language. The statement represents a command for the processor.
Statement List is a textual representation of the STEP 7 programming
language, similar to machine code. STL is the assembler language of STEP 5
and STEP 7. If you program in STL, the individual statements represent the
actual steps in which the CPU executes the program.
A station is a device which can be connected to one or more subnets, for
example the programmable controller, programming device, operator station.
The status bit stores the value of a bit that is referenced. The status of a bit
instruction that has read access to the memory (A, AN, O, ON, X, XN) is
always the same as the value of the bit that this instruction checks (the bit on
which it performs its logic operation). The status of a bit instruction that has
write access to the memory (S, R, =) is the same as the value of the bit to
which the instruction writes or, if no writing takes place, the same as the
value of the bit that the instruction references. The status bit has no
significance for bit instructions that do not access the memory. Such
instructions set the status bit to 1 (STA=1). The status bit is not checked by
an instruction. It is interpreted during program test (program status) only.
