27) Meaning of Upload & download 28) Various communication interfaces supported by AB 29) Data Hightway: a Proprietary data network used by AB PLCs to communicate information to and from other PLCs on the network or and from host computers attached to the network Control Net: A real time, control layer network providing high speed transport of both time-critical IO data and messaging data including upload / download of programming and configuration data and peer to peer messaging on a single physical media link Device Net: a low cost communication link that connects industrial devices to a network. It is based on broadcast oriented communication protocol- the Control Area Network (CAN) Ethernet: Ethernet based coaxial cable transmits data at speeds up to 100MBPS. Ethernet is used as transport vehicle by several upper level protocols TCP/IP. What is latency in communication? How communication protocols are distinguished 35) Comparison between various protocols used with AB 36) Various PLC Systems in SIMATIC S7 range 37) Components of Siemens S7-300 PLC system 38) Communication protocols used in Siemens 39) What are the blocks used in Siemens (DB, OB, FC, PB, & FB) OBs: determine the structure of the user program Data Block: These are the blocks used by logic blocks in CPU Program for storing the data. DBs do not contain any instructions and take up space in the user memory. The user program can access a data block with bit, byte, word or double word operations Global Data block: these contain information that can be accessed by all the logic blocks in the user program. Instant Data Block: these DBs are always assigned to a particular FB Function Blocks: it is a block with a memory. A FB contains a program that is always executed when a different logic block calls the FB. FB make it much easier to program frequently occurring complex functions. Statement List: STL is a textual programming language that can be used to create the code section of logic blocks. Its syntax for statements is similar to assembly language and consists of instructions followed by addresses on which the instructions acts.
