IP 240 Preface

Preface

In addition to open and closed-loop control, the programmable controllers of the SIMATIC S5 fa-

mily execute special tasks such as positioning and counting. So that these auxiliary functions do

not unnecessarily load the central processor (S5 CPU), they are handled by standalone "intelli-

gent" I/O modules. These have their own microprocessors and execute special time-critical tasks

autonomously.

The two-channel IP 240 module is suitable for the following applications:

•Position decoding

The IP 240 counts and processes pulses from incremental encoders. Cam controllers and limit

switches can be simulated by comparing the actual value with preset tracks.

•Counting

The IP 240 is suitable for gate-controlled counting of rapid pulse trains and for initiating

specific reactions when the count reaches zero.

•IP 252 expansion

The IP 240 operates as a slave for the IP 252 closed-loop control module, thus allowing the

connection of other incremental encoders to the IP 252. The acquired signals are transferred

direct to the IP 252.

•Positioning

The IP 240 enables controlled positioning with cutoff points. As many as 254 positions can be

stored on the IP for this purpose. When a position has been selected, either the direction of

travel or the traversing speed can be specified directly over the IP outputs. The approach is

controlled and monitored via three selectable operating distance ranges. Incremental enco-

ders are used for position sensing.

The module can intervene direct in the process or flag process states over four digital outputs

(two per channel).

The IP 240 has interrupt capability, making it possible to report certain events direct to the S5 CPU.

Standard software function blocks are available for handling the data interchange between the

S5 CPU and the IP 240.

IP 240 Introduction

Conventions

In order to improve the readability of the manual, a menu-style breakdown was used, i.e.:

• The individual chapters can be quickly located by means of a thumb register.

• There is an overview containing the headings of the individual chapters at the beginning of

the manual.

• Each chapter is preceded by a breakdown of its subject matter.

The individual chapters are subdivided into sections and subsections. Bold face type is used for

further subdivisions.

• Pages, figures and tables are numbered separately in each chapter. The page following the

chapter breakdown contains a list of the figures and tables appearing in that particular

chapter.

Certain conventions were observed when writing the manual. These are explained below.

• A number of abbreviations have been used.

Example: Central processing unit (CPU)

• Footnotes are identified by a superscript consisting of a small digit (e.g. ”1”) or ”*”. The actual

footnote is generally at the bottom of the page or underneath a table.

• Cross-references are shown as follows:

”( Section 7.3.2)” refers to subsection 7.3.2.

No references are made to individual pages.

• Actions required from the user are introduced by the symbol .

• All dimensions in drawings etc. are given in millimetres (mm). This is followed by the value in

inches in parentheses. Example: 187 (7.29).

• Values can be expressed by binary, decimal or hexadecimal numbers. The number system is in-

dicated by a subscript; example: F000H.

• Especially important imformation is written in text boxes. A heading in the upper part of the

text box defines the meaning of the note.

Note

is important imformation on the product, the handling of the product or parts of

documentation that have to be observed very carefully.

Warning

means that loss of life, severe personal injury or substantial property damage can

result if proper precautions are not taken.

Introduction IP 240

Manuals can only describe the current version of the programmable controller. Should

modifications or supplements become necessary in the course of time, a supplement will be

prepared and included in the manual the next time it is revised. The relevant version or edition of

the manual appears on the cover. In the event of a revision, the edition number will be

incremented by ”1”.

IP 240 Introduction

Conventions

The following conventions are used in this book and are listed for your reference:

Convention Definition Example

A box that indicates a type of hazard,

describes its implications, and tells you

how to avoid the hazard is a cautionary

statement. Some cautionary statements

include a graphic symbol representing

an electrical or radio-frequency hazard.

All cautionary statements have one of

the following levels of caution:

• A danger indicates that loss of

life, severe personal injury, or

substantial property damage

will result if proper precautions

are not taken.

• A warning indicates that loss of

life, severe personal injury, or

substantial property damage

can result if proper precautions

are not taken.

• A caution indicates that minor

personal injury or property

damage can result if proper

precautions are not taken.
