Reference Manual

Legal information

Warning notice system

This manual includes notices you have to observe to ensure your personal safety and to prevent damage to property. The notices referring to your

personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a hazard alert symbol; notices referring only to property damage have no hazard alert symbol.

Depending on the degree of danger, warnings are displayed in a descending order as follows.

DANGER

indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING

indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION

indicates that minor personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTICE

indicates that damage to property may result if proper precautions are not taken.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury

to persons with a hazard alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage.

mode – next page.

•Instructions for SIMATIC Ident and SIMATIC Energy Suite – appendix.

Measuring program runtimes

The runtime of parts of the user program depends on many factors. A listing of runtimes of individual instructions in a table is

thus not possible.

The RUNTIME (runtime measuring) instruction is used to measure the runtime of the entire program, individual blocks or

command sequences. The runtime measurement begins with the first call of the RUNTIME instruction and ends with the

second call.

Use an OB priority >15 for runtime measurement. This ensures that "online monitoring" does not falsify the runtime. You can

find more detailed information in the SIMATIC STEP 7 online help. Enter "RUNTIME" in the search and select "S7-1200", "S7-

1500" or "S7-1500T" as validity identifier.

Programming examples in SCL:

"Common_Data".opt.Last_Cycle := RUNTIME(#Tag_Memory); //Start of the runtime measurement,

LReal

"speed test FB opt_DB"(ON_2:="i1",…);//Runtime measurement through RUNTIME

"Common_Data".opt.Last_Cycle := RUNTIME(#Tag_Memory); //End of the runtime measurement

The Last_Cycle tag contains the time that has passed from the preceding call to the current call of RUNTIME.

A5E33284667-AA Page 4

Load objects to the CPU

The table shows which modifications and which modified blocks you can download in which operating mode.

Very complex programs can prevent downloading in RUN mode. Solution approaches:

•Use a memory card with sufficient capacity.

•Select a CPU with sufficient work memory.

•Reduce the number of modified used blocks, constants, PLC tags or data types.

You can find information about the behavior of the F-CPU for fail-safe blocks in the SIMATIC Safety – Configuring and

Programming manual.

Applicable with restrictions

Not required, you can, for example, program with simple commands in SCL.

Grayed

out

We recommend that you do not use the grayed out instructions in S7-1200 or S7-1500, because these

instructions are not suitable for symbolic addressing or multiple instances. SIMATIC counters and timers are not

recommended because they do not have multiple instance capability.

Xyz

New instruction as of SIMATIC STEP 7 V14.

For this purpose, SIMATIC S7-1200 requires at least firmware 4.2 and SIMATIC S7-1500 at least firmware 2.0.

Xyz

New instruction as of SIMATIC STEP 7 V15.

For this purpose, SIMATIC S7-1200 requires at least firmware 4.2 and SIMATIC S7-1500 at least firmware 2.5.

Xyz

Also available as fail-safe instruction in the Safety optional package in LAD and FBD.
