Blocks and Their Functions
S5-95F
In the following section are all of the rules that have to be followed if you want to change or expand
entire parameter blocks in DB1. Follow these steps or the programmable controller will not
understand what you have entered.
1.
Permissible fillers are: Space and comma
2.
Start ID "DB1"
DB1 must begin with the start ID "DB1"
.
Do not separate the three characters from each other.
After the start ID, there must be at least one filler.
3.
The start ID and filler are followed by the block ID for the parameter block
.
The sequence of the
parameter blocks in DB1 is random. The block ID identifies a block and its corresponding para-
meter. The block ID "SL1", for example, stands for the SINEC-L1 parameter. You must enter
a colon immediately after the block ID. If the colon is missing, then the programmable controller
skips this block and displays an error message. You must add at least one filler after the colon
of a block ID.
4.
The parameter name comes next
.
Parameter names are names for single parameters within a
parameter block. Within a block, the first four characters of a parameter name must be different
from each other. After the parameter name, you must add at least one filler.
5.
At least one argument is attached to each parameter name
.
An argument is either a number, a
character string or a STEP 5 operand that you must enter
.
If several arguments belong to a
parameter name, then every argument must be followed by at least one filler (even the last
one).
6.
Use a semicolon (;) to identify a block end
.
After the semicolon, you must enter at least one
filler
.
Leaving out the semicolon leads to misinterpretation in the programmable controller.
7.
After the semicolon, additional parameter blocks can follow
.
(Use steps 2 through 5 to create
additional parameter blocks.)
8.
After the end of the last parameter block, you must enter the end ID "END". This identifies the
end of DB1. If you forget to enter an end ID, this leads to errors in the programmable con-
troller.
9.
The "CRC" block must be present. The S5-95F enters the argument itself.
