In an example below, 127 motors are controlled by a SIEMENS SIMATIC S7-PLC. Together these
motors use 127 Tx- and 127 Rx-identifiers. In this example 20 PLC-cycles are needed to supply all
identifiers (20 cycles are required for 10 pages).
The product package contains function blocks (FB) and data blocks (DB) with which the
transmission of the pages can be controlled. Users do not have to program the control of the
pages themselves, therefore !
The FB and DB will be described from page 54.
6.4.2 Definition of PLC-Addresses
The Page Mode needs input and output addresses. The number of addresses used is limited to the top
only by the PLC. The inputs need at least a page size of 32 bytes so that the setup can be made via page
0 and page 1.
