The configuration areas for RevPi 7 are separated into 2 areas. The first area contains the global data, the second area consists of a list for tasks.
Global data
The global data contains the following entries:
Value | Description |
Name | Names for the 128 inputs and the 128 outputs in the process image |
PLC IP | IP address of the S7 controller. Please note that the IP address must correspond to one of the available address spaces. |
Local TSAP | 2 Byte integer, 0 to 2^16 Default: 0 |
Remote TSAP | 2 Byte integer, 0 tp 2^16 Default:0 |
Connection Type | Connection Type (Byte: PG=1, OP=2, Basic3 to Basic10 = 3 to 10) Default: OP |
PLC Rack | Value range: 0-7 Bytes Default: 0 |
PLC Slot | Value range 0-16 Bytes Default: 2 Default values: S7 1200: 1 S7 300: 2 S7 1500: 0 |
PLC Type | Value for the type of PLC. At present only the S7 can be used, with the value “0”. |
Names for 32 status entries | One input byte per task is provided for the status. |
Name for connection status | One input byte |
Name for status reset | One output byte |
List for tasks
The list has a maximum of 32 lines for tasks. Each row has the following columns:
Data direction | Read = 0 Write = 1 Default = 0 |
Memory area | I = 0x81 Q = 0x82 M = 0x83 DB = 0x84 CT = 0x1C TM 0x1D Default = M |
DB# | This value is only used with the DB memory area. uint16, 0-2^16 Default = 0 |
Start | This value is not used with the DB memory area. uint16, 0-2^16 Default = 0 |
Number/Size | 1 Byte for I, Q, M and DB 2 Byte for TM, CT uint16, 0-2^16 Default = 1 |
Cycle time in ms | Value 0 for write means transmit only when PI value changes. Values under 100 – except 0 for write – should not be accepted. 0 – 2^16 Default = 1000 |
Source/Destination in PI | Dropdown with list of inputs from the module for read and outputs for write. Info! There is no check to detect if areas are duplicated or overlap! |
