1.1
What Can the FM 350-1 Do?
What Can the FM 350-1 Do? The FM 350-1 function module is a high-speed counter module for use in the S7-300/M7-300 programmable controller. There is one counter on the module that can operate in the following ranges: 0 to 4,294,967,295 (0 to 232 1) or 2,147,483,648 to + 2,147,483,647 (231 to 231 1).
The maximum input frequency of the counter signals is up to 500 kHz depending on the encoder signal. You can use the FM 350-1 for the following tasks: Continuous counting Single counting Periodic counting Frequency measurement Rotational speed measurement Period measurement You can start and stop each mode either via the user program (software gate) or via external signals (hardware gate).
Comparison Values You can store two comparison values on the module assigned to the two relevant outputs on the module. If the counter status reaches one of the two comparison values, the relevant output can be set to initiate control actions direct in the process.
Load Value
You can specify a value on the FM 350-1 from which it should begin counting. This value is called the load value. Any value within the count limits can be set for the load value.
Process Interrupts The FM 350-1 can trigger a process interrupt in the CPU if the comparison values are reached, or in the case of overflow, underflow and/or in the case of zero pass of a counter.

Product Overview
Diagnostics Interrupts The FM 350-1 can trigger a diagnostics interrupt if any of the following occur: Fault in external auxiliary voltage Fault in 5.2 VDC encoder supply Module not parameterized or errors in parameterization Watchdog triggered RAM defective Process interrupt lost Fault in signal A, B or N Pulse Duration You can specify a pulse duration for the digital outputs of the FM 350-1. The pulse duration specifies how long the relevant digital output is to be set. You can specify a value between 0 and 500 ms for the pulse duration. This value applies for both outputs. You can adapt the FM 350-1 to existing actuators by specifying a pulse duration. Which Signals can the FM 350-1 Register? The FM 350-1 can register the signals from the following sources: Incremental 5 V encoders Incremental 24 V encoders 24 V pulse encoders with direction level 24 V initiators without direction level for example, light barrier or BERO Internal 1 MHz time base Input Filter For the purpose of suppressing interference, you can parameterize input filters (RC elements) with a uniform filter time for the 24 V inputs A*, B* and N* and for the digital inputs. The following two input filters are available:
Table 1-1 Input Filters Features Typical input delay Maximum counting frequency Minimum pulse width of the count signals Input Filter 1 (Default) 1 ms 200 kHz 2.5 ms Input Filter 2 15 ms 20 kHz 25 ms
Central Operation
You can apply the FM 350-1 in S7-300 and M7-300 systems centrally.

Product Overview
Distributed Operation
You can use the FM 350-1 via IM 153-1, IM 153-2 and IM 153-3 distributed in ET 200M. Examples of application are: ET 200M with single backplane bus ET 200M with active backplane bus ET 200M as moduled clocked mode slave ET 200M in one-sided mode in an H system ET 200M in interconnected mode in an H system
Firmware Update
For upgrades and bugfixes it is possible with the help of STEP 7 HW Config (as of V 5.2) to download firmware updates to the operating system memory of FM 350-1. Notice Starting the firmware updates deletes the old FM 350-1 firmware. If the firmware update is interupted or terminated by any means, the FM 350-1 will no longer be available. Please start the firmware update again and wait until it is successfully completed.
CiR
The FM 350-1 is CiR-compatible, i. e. via configuration modification at RUN of the CPU you can change the FM 350-1parameters. Parameter changes resets the FM 350-1 and is essentially a reconfiguration. FM 350-1 allows parameter changes during operation of the user program (see chapter 4).
Isochrone Mode
Depending on your STEP 7 V 5.2 configuration, you can work with the FM 350-1 either in non-isochrone or isochrone mode.

Product Overview
Example for the Use of an FM 350-1 In this example, a carton must be filled with a specific number of parts. One counter of the FM 350-1 counts the parts and controls the motor for transporting the parts and the motor for transporting the carton. If the carton is in the correct position, conveyor belt A is stopped via the light barrier, the count is started and the motor for conveyor belt B is switched on. When the carton contains the programmed number of parts, the FM 350-1 stops the motor for conveyor belt B and switches on the motor for conveyor belt A for removal of the carton. The count can start again when the next carton reaches the light barrier.

Installation Procedure How to mount the FM 350-1 on the mounting rail: 1. Switch the CPU to the STOP state. 2. The FM 350-1 is supplied with an expansion bus. Plug this into the bus connector of the module to the left of the FM 350-1. (The bus connector is located on the back and you may have to loosen the neighboring module.) 3. Hang the FM 350-1 onto the rail and swing it down. 4. Tighten the screw on the FM 350-1 (tightening torque approximately 0.8 to 1.1 Nm). If further modules are to be installed to the right of the FM 350-1, first connect the expansion bus of the next module to the right-hand backplane bus connector of the FM 350-1. If the FM 350-1 is the last module in the rack, do not connect an expansion bus! 5. Label the FM 350-1 with its slot number. Use the number wheel supplied with the CPU for this purpose. Manual /1/ describes the numbering scheme you must use and how to connect the slot numbers. 6. Install the shield attachment.
Procedure for Removal/Replacement of Modules

How to remove the FM 350-1: 1. Switch off the auxiliary voltage and the load voltage at the front connector. 2. Switch the CPU to the STOP state. 3. Open the front panel. If necessary, remove the labeling strip. 4. Release the front connector and pull it out. 5. Loosen the fixing screw on the module. 6. Swing the module out of the mounting rail and unhook it. 7. Install the new module if applicable.

Wiring the FM 350-1
Note The circuits for the counter inputs (encoder supply, encoder signals) are non-isolated to the ground of the CPU, that is, terminal 2 (1M) must have a low-resistance connection to CPU ground. If you supply the encoders externally, you must also connect the ground of this external voltage with the ground of the CPU.
Auxiliary Voltage 1L+, 1M Connect a direct voltage of 24 V to the 1L+ and 1M terminals for the voltage supply of the 5 V and 24 V encoders. An integral diode protects the module from reverse polarity of the auxiliary voltage. The module monitors the connection of the auxiliary voltage.
5.2 VDC Encoder Supply The module generates a voltage of 5.2 V from the auxiliary voltage 1L+/1M at a maximum current of 300 mA that is available at the 5.2 VDC connection for the short-circuit-proof supply of a 5 V encoder. The encoder supply is checked for short-circuit.
24 VDC Encoder Supply For the 24 V voltage supply of an encoder, the voltage 1L+/1M is made available and short-circuit proof at the 24 VDC output. The encoder supply is monitored for short-circuit.
5 V Encoder Signals A/A, B/B, N and N You can connect incremental encoders with 5 V differential signals to the front connector in accordance with RS 422, that is, incremental encoders with the differential signals, A/A, B/B, N and N. The signals A/A, B/B, N and N are connected via the terminals so labeled. The signals N and N are only connected if you want to set the counter to the zero mark of the encoder. The inputs are not electrically isolated from the bus of the S7-300 (refer to the note on this page).
3-4
Wiring the FM 350-1
24 V Encoder Signals A*, B* and N* 24 V signals are represented by the letters A*, B* and N*. You can connect three different encoder types to each counter: Incremental encoders with 24 V signals: The signals A*, B* and N* are connected via the terminals so labeled. Pulse encoders without direction level: The signal is connected to terminal A*. Pulse encoders with direction level: The count signal is connected to terminal A*. The direction level is connected to terminal B*. The inputs are not galvanically isolated from the S7-300 bus (see note on page 3-3).
Input Filter for 24 V Encoder Signals For the purpose of suppressing interference, you can parameterize input filters (RC elements) with a uniform filter time for the 24 V inputs A*, B* and N. The following input filters are available:
Table 3-2 Input Filters for 24 V Encoder Signals Features Typical input delay Maximum counting frequency Minimum pulse width of the count signals Input Filter 1 (Default) 1 ms 200 kHz 2.5 ms Input Filter 2 15 ms 20 kHz 25 ms
Digital Inputs DI Start, DI Stop and DI Set

You can use digital inputs DI Start and DI Stop for the gate control of the counter. Gate control can be both level-controlled and edge-controlled (refer to Chapter 8). Digital input DI Set is used to set the counter to the load value. The digital inputs are operated with a nominal voltage of 24 V. The digital inputs are galvanically isolated from the bus of the S7-300 and the counter inputs.

Wiring the FM 350-1
Input Filter for Digital Inputs For the purpose of suppressing interference, you can parameterize input filters (RC elements) with a uniform filter time for digital inputs I0, I1 and I2. The following two input filters are available.
Table 3-3 Input Filters for Digital Inputs Features Typical input delay Maximum frequency of the input signals Minimum pulse width of the input signals Input Filter 1 (Default) 1 ms 200 kHz 2.5 ms Input Filter 2 15 ms 20 kHz 25 ms
Digital Outputs DO0 and DO1

The FM 350-1 features two digital outputs, DO0 and DO1, for directly triggering control processes. The digital outputs are supplied with the 2L+ load voltage. The digital outputs are galvanically isolated from the S7-300 bus and the counter inputs. The digital outputs are source outputs and can be loaded with a load current of 0.5 A. They are protected from overload and short-circuit. Note Relays and contactors can be connected direct without external circuitry.
The time characteristics of the digital outputs depend on the parameterization and are explained in more detail in Chapter 8.
Load Voltage 2L+/ 2M For supplying digital outputs DO0 and DO1, a load voltage of 24 V must be supplied to the module via terminals 2L+ and 2M. An integral diode protects the module from polarity reversal of the load voltage. The load voltage 2L+/2M is not monitored by the FM 350-1.

3.2
Wiring the Front Connector
Cables There are some rules for you to observe when selecting cables: The cables for digital inputs DI Start, DI Stop and DI Set must be shielded. The cable for the counter signals must be shielded. You must apply the shields of the counter signal cables both at the pulse encoder and in the immediate vicinity of the module via the shield attachment, for example. The cables A/A, B/B and N/N of the incremental 5 V encoder must be twisted in pairs.

Terminal 2 (1M) of the front connector must have a low-resistance connection to the ground of the CPU. If you supply the encoder with an external voltage, you must also connect the ground of this external voltage with the ground of the CPU.

Use flexible cables with cross-sections of 0.25 to 1.5 mm. Note If the encoders are supplied via the module, the cable cross-section must be large enough to carry the required voltage to the encoder despite voltage drops over the cable. This applies especially in the case of incremental 5 V encoders. A wire end ferrule is not required. If you use wire end ferrules then use only those without insulation collar in accordance with DIN 46228 Form A, short version!

Wiring the FM 350-1
Wiring Steps Proceed as follows when wiring the front connector: Warning There is a danger of personal injury. If you wire the front connector of the FM 350-1 when the power is switched on, you are in danger of injury from electric shock. Wire the FM 350-1 only when the power is switched off!
1. Open the front panel and place the front connector in the wiring position. 2. Strip the conductors (length 6 mm). 3. Are you using wire end ferrules? If so: Press-fit the wire end ferrules onto the conductors. 4. Feed the enclosed strain relief clamp into the front connector. 5. If the wires leave the module at the bottom, begin wiring at the bottom, otherwise begin at the top. Also tighten unassigned terminals (tightening torque 0.6 to 0.8 Nm). 6. Tighten the strain relief clamp for the cable chain. 7. Push the front connector into the operating position. 8. Apply the cable shields to the shield attachment or to the shield bar. 9. Label the terminals on the labeling strip.

Programming the FM 350-1
Chapter Overview This chapter contains all the information necessary for programming the FM 350-1 in the S7-300. For linking the FM 350-1 into a user program, you are provided with STEP 7 blocks that make handling the desired functions easy for you. This chapter describes these blocks.

5.1
The CNT_CTL1 Function (FC 2)
Requirement
The data required for the CNT_CTL1 function is stored in a DB on the CPU. The CNT_CTL1 function transfers data cyclically from this DB to the FM and fetches data from the FM. You create the DB under STEP 7 as a data block with assigned user-specific data type. Select UDT 2 as the source file. UDT 2 was copied to the block library called FMx50LIB when the FCs were installed. You must not modify UDT 2. Copy UDT 2 together with the FCs into your project. Before programming the FM 350-1, the following valid data must be assigned to the DB of the CNT_CTL1 function: Module address You set the module address (base address of the FM 350-1) when configuring your hardware. You can enter the address automatically in the DB by selecting the module in HW Config, and then selecting a data block from the Properties dialog by clicking on the Mod Addr button. Channel address The channel address is the same as the module address in pointer format. User data length The user data length is 16. You can save these data by means of a parameter assignment screen (refer to the leaflet Getting Started with Commissioning) or by means of the user program in the DB.
5-3
Example
You will find below an example of how to implement the transfer of the module address, the channel address and the user data length in OB100. The symbol table contains the following assignments for this example:
CNT_CHAN1 DB 1 DB with the counter data
Program the transfer as follows in STL:

Editing Jobs
You make a job request for the FM 350-1 via the relevant FC parameters L_DIRECT, L_PREPAR, T_CMP_V1, T_CMP_V2, C_DOPARA, RES_SYNC, RES_ZERO, and OT_ERR_A. You must enter the appropriate values for the job (load value, comparison values, lower limit, upper limit, update time) before you call the FC in the DB. A set in/out parameter (L_DIRECT, L_PREPAR, T_CMP_V1, T_CMP_V2, C_DOPARA, RES_SYNC and RES_ZERO) is deleted again by the CNT_CTL1 function after completion of the job. You can see from this that processing of the job has been completed by the FM 350-1. If necessary, you can incorporate this information in your user program.
Transferring Values
Depending on the operating mode, you can transfer values by setting this function parameter.
Operating mode Count Measure Function parameter L_DIRECT, L_PREPAR, T_CMP_V1, T_CMP_V2, C_DOPARA L_PREPAR, T_CMP_V1, T_CMP_V2, C_DOPARA
You can transfer several values at the same time:

In Count mode ... you can transfer at the same time
Measure mode
Load value Comparison value 1 Comparison value 2 Lower limit Upper limit Update time
(DB parameter LOAD_VAL) (DB parameter CMP_V1) (DB parameter CMP_V2) (DB parameter LOAD_VAL) (DB parameter CMP_V1) (DB parameter CMP_V2)
If a value is incorrect, you must first acknowledge this operator error with OT_ERR_A before the FM 350-1 can accept any further values. You should then correct the value rejected with the operator error and transfer it again.
Note If you use the function parameter L_DIRECT, L_PREPAR, T_CMP_V1 or T_CMP_V2 to load the value LOAD_VAL, CMP_V1 or CMP_V2, you cannot change the parameter assignments at the same time using function parameter C_DOPARA. This would lead to an OT_ERR operator error that you would have to acknowledge with OT_ERR_A.
5-6
Time Required to Transfer Values

The time required to transfer values is shown in the table below:
Use of the FM 350-1 Centralized Decentralized (non-isochrone mode) Decentralized (isochrone mode) Time required At least 4 OB 1 cycles At least 5 PROFIBUS DP cycles

Parameters for Transferring Values in the DB (Count Modes)

Table 5-1 shows the range of the DB in which you transfer the LOAD_VAL, CMP_V1 and CMP_V2 parameters. The LOAD_VAL parameter (bytes 14 to 17) has two meanings: If you set function parameter L_DIRECT or L_PREPAR, LOAD_VAL is interpreted as a load value. If you set function parameter C_DOPARA, you can use byte 14 to define the behavior of outputs DO0 and DO1. Bytes 15 and 16 are interpreted as hysteresis and pulse duration.

Parameters for Transferring Values in the DB (Measure Modes)

Table 5-2 shows the range of the DB in which you transfer the LOAD_VAL, CMP_V1 and CMP_V2 parameters. The LOAD_VAL parameter (bytes 14 to 17) has two meanings: If you set function parameter L_PREPAR, LOAD_VAL is interpreted as a lower limit If you set function parameter C_DOPARA, byte 14 is used to define the behavior of output DO0. You must not set the L_DIRECT parameter for a Measure mode.

Reserved = 0 Reserved = 0 Reserved = 0 Upper limit 1; Load with function parameter: Update time; Load with function parameter: T_CMP_V1 T_CMP_V2
Restart Characteristics
As soon as the CNT_CTL1 function detects a restart (CPU restart or FM restart), any pending job is deferred and the restart is acknowledged first. Any job already initiated by you is continued only after the restart has been completed and will not be lost.
Error Messages
If an operator error occurs in the case of an FC call, this is reported in the OT_ERR parameter. The error information can then be read out in DB1 (OT_ERR_B variable). With the help of the OT_ERR_A parameter, you can then acknowledge operator errors. No new operator error will be reported until you have acknowledged the previous one.
5-9
5.2
The CNT_CTL2 Function (FC 3)
Functionality
The CNT_CTL2 function essentially has the same functionality as the CNT_CTL1 function (see section 5.1). The differences compared to the CNT_CTL1 function are explained below.
Possible Uses
The CNT_CTL2 function only works in an isochrone OB. If you call the CNT_CTL2 function in a non-isochrone OB, you will generate operator error no. 91. You will then not be able to exchange data with the FM 350-1.
Mode of Operation
The CNT_CTL2 function is particularly suitable for applications in which you want to send the same job (e.g. Load comparison value) to the FM 350-1 several times in quick succession. While the CNT_CTL1 function is ideally used to initiate a new job in every fifth PROFIBUS DP cycle, with the CNT_CTL2 function, this occurs in every second PROFIBUS DP cycle. The block is ready for a job when the relevant initiation bit is set to 0. Completion of a job is not displayed separately. If a communication problem or a data or operator error occurs, it cannot be assigned to a particular job, so the block will stop processing the job and will generate an operator error no. 90, which can be acknowledged. Once you have acknowledged the error by setting the OT_ERR_A parameter, any outstanding jobs will be (further) processed. Acknowledgement of an operator error is deemed to be successful if the OT_ERR parameter is reset. You should therefore leave the OT_ERR_A parameter set to guarantee acknowledgement. There is no point in initiating further jobs until the acknowledgement is successful.
Note In isochrone mode, you cannot start several value transfers at the same time using the CNT_CTL2 function.
5-10
5.3
The DIAG_INF Function (FC 1)
Functionality
The DIAG_INF function reads data set DS1 from the FM 350-1 and makes it available to you in the DB of the CNT_CTL1 function. The transfer works as follows: If the initiation parameter is set (IN_DIAG = TRUE), DS1 is read out from the FM 350-1. DS1 is entered in the DB of the CNT_CTL1 function from DW 54. DS1 is transferred with the help of the SFC RDSYSST. The return code of the SFC (RET_VAL) is copied to the RET_VAL parameter of the DIAG_INF function . As soon as the function has been executed, the IN_DIAG initiation parameter is reset and the transfer is reported to be complete. Manual /2/ contains a full description of the SFC RDSYSST.
Call
The DIAG_INF function can be called in the cycle and in the interrupt program. There is no point in calling it in the time-controlled program. The DIAG_INF function call is given in the STL and LAD notations below.

Description of the Procedure

Requirement The value to be transferred must have been entered in DB 1. Load value is transferred and started The load value of the channel is transferred to the FM 350-1 by means of the FC call. There are two parameters available for transferring the load value to the FM 350-1. When calling the CNT_CTL1 function, the parameter selected is either L_DIRECT or L_PREPAR. Parameter L_DIRECT defines that the load value is transferred directly and in preparation to the counter (you set the trigger bit L_DIRECT=1 in your user program). Parameter L_PREPAR defines that the load value is only loaded in preparation (you have to set the trigger bit L_PREPAR=1 in your user program). The load value loaded in preparation is then applied at the next cause that sets the counter. The FC must therefore be called until the FC has reset the selected trigger bit (L_DIRECT or L_PREPAR). The in/out parameter remains set during the transfer. With regard to the exchange of data with the FM, the CNT_CTL1 function does not issue an error message. If the trigger bit you set has been reset by the CNT_CTL1 function, the FM 350-1 has applied the load value. The read load value stored in DB 1 is updated by the CNT_CTL1 function (applicable only if you are working without the latch setting). It takes at least four FC calls to transfer the load value.

Programming the FM 350-1 without FCs

If you want to operate the FM 350-1 without FCs, you can control and monitor the FM 350-1 directly via the control and check-back interface (working data interface). The working data interface starts at the modules starting address and is 16 bytes long. Load commands allow you to read the check-back interface. Transfer commands are used to write to the control interface. Mixed use of load / transfer commands and programming with FCs is not permitted.
5.6.1
Control and Check-back Interface for the Count Modes
Control Interface for Count Modes

The LOAD_VAL parameter (bytes 0 to 3) has two meanings: If you set the L_DIRECT or L_PREPAR bit, LOAD_VAL is interpreted as a load value. If you set the C_DOPARA bit, you can use byte 0 to define the behavior of outputs DO0 and DO1. Bytes 1 and 2 are interpreted as hysteresis and pulse duration.

Explanation of the Check-back Bits for the Count Modes

Table 5-8 Explanation of the check-back bits for the Count modes Explanation This bit indicates that a data error (parameter assignment error) was entered in the check-back interface. The bit is set when diagnostic record DS1 is updated in order to signal a diagnostic event. The bit is reset once record DS1 has been read. If no diagnostic interrupt is enabled, this bit may be used as an initiation bit for the DIAG_INF function incorporated into the OB1. The FM 350-1 sets this bit whenever it performs a restart or detects a system start-up, regardless of whether the system starts up automatically or manually. The bit FM_NEUST is reset by the next positive edge at the bit NEUSTQ. The FM 350-1 is then controllable, and values can be read from it and sent to it. The FM 350-1 clears this bit whenever it performs a restart or detects a system start-up, regardless of whether the system starts up automatically or manually. It is set when the bit FM_NEUST is reset. This bit is set when an operator error is entered in the check-back interface. It is reset when the bit OT_ERR_A is reset. No further operator errors can be signaled while the bit OT_ERR is set. This bit is set when the modules parameter assignments have been carried out without error. The parameter record is on the module without errors. The bit is not set, however, until the bit FM_NEUSTQ has been reset. From that moment on, the values in the check-back interface are valid and current. Acknowledgement bit for simultaneous changing of the behavior of DO0 and DO1, hysteresis and pulse duration. You must transfer the old values if you do not wish the values to change. Status of output DO0 Status of output DO1 Acknowledgement bit for loading of comparison value 1 Acknowledgement bit for loading of comparison value 2 This bit indicates the stored status that output DO0 was set. This also applies if output DO0 was not enabled with CTRL_DO0. The stored status is reset by acknowledging with RES_ZERO. This bit indicates the stored status that output DO1 was set.

Using the Interface with the Complete Acknowledgement Principle
Definition
The complete acknowledgement principle (see figure 5-2) is always used to control the FM 350-1 from the user program.
Control bit 1. Check-back bit 2. Figure 5-2 Complete acknowledgement principle 4. t 3. t
The sequence is as follows: 1. If the check-back bit = 0, you can request processing via the user program by setting the control bit. 2. The FM 350-1 detects the request, acknowledges it by setting the check-back bit and starts the processing. 3. Once the FM 350-1 has set the check-back bit, you can reset the control bit. 4. At the end of processing, the FM 350-1 responds to the resetting of the control bit by resetting the check-back bit.

With the FM 350-1 values are also transferred using the complete acknowledgement principle. If incorrect values are transferred, the FM 350-1 signals an operator error with the check-back bit OT_ERR. You must then first acknowledge the operator error bit OT_ERR with the operator error acknowledgement OT_ERR_A before you can transfer a new, correct value. Figure 5-3 shows an example of this sequence for the preparatory loading of the counter. Depending on the operating mode, you can transfer values with the following control bits:
Operating mode Count Measure
Control bits L_DIRECT, L_PREPAR, T_CMP_V1, T_CMP_V2, C_DOPARA L_PREPAR, T_CMP_V1, T_CMP_V2, C_DOPARA
The sequence over time when transferring values is shown in figure 5-3:
Op. error bit OT_ERR t Op. error acknowledgement OT_ERR_A t Control bit L_PREPAR t Check-back bit STS_L_PREPAR t The value is accepted. If the value is not correct, the operator error bit is set. Removal of request and acceptance of values by the FM 350-1. Detection of an operator error The FM 350-1 acknowledges the request Request value transfer and make value available Figure 5-3 Transfer of values
5-32
You can transfer several values at the same time:

In Count ... you can transfer at the same time
Load value Comparison value 1 Comparison value 2 Lower limit Upper limit Update time
(Parameter LOAD_VAL) (parameter CMP_V1) (Parameter CMP_V2) (Parameter LOAD_VAL) (parameter CMP_V1) (Parameter CMP_V2)
Measure
If a value is incorrect, you must first acknowledge this operator error with OT_ERR_A before the FM 350-1 can accept any further values. You should then correct the value rejected with the operator error and transfer it again.
Note If you use the control bits L_DIRECT, L_PREPAR, T_CMP_V1 or T_CMP_V2 to load the value LOAD_VAL, CMP_V1 or CMP_V2, you cannot change the parameter assignments at the same time using the C_DOPARA control bit. This would lead to an OT_ERR operator error that you would have to acknowledge with OT_ERR_A.
Time Required to Transfer Values

The time required to transfer values is shown in the table below:

Resetting the Status Bits

With the FM 350-1, the status bits are also reset using the complete acknowledgement principle. This applies to the following status bits, depending on the operating mode:
Operating mode Count Measure
Status bits STS_ZERO, STS_OFLW, STS_UFLW, STS_COMP1, STS_COMP2 STS_OFLW, STS_UFLW, STS_COMP1
The sequence over time when resetting the status bits is shown in figure 5-4:

Restart Coordination
Restart Coordination
Whenever the FM 350-1 performs a restart or detects a system start-up, it sets the check-back bit FM_NEUST. If you are not using a function, then you will have to coordinate the restart via the user program. Acknowledge the FM_NEUST bit by setting the NEUSTQ control bit. The FM 350-1 then resets the FM_NEUST check-back bit and sets the FM_NEUSTQ check-back bit. Once the FM 350-1 has reset the FM_NEUST check-back bit, you can reset the NEUSTQ control bit. Figure 5-5 illustrates the restart coordination sequence.
Restart, FM 350-1 starts up Check-back bit FM_NEUST t Ctrl bit NEUSTQ t Check-back bit FM_NEUSTQ t Figure 5-5 Restart sequence
If you use a function, this function automatically coordinates the restart.

Reaction to CPU STOP and CPU STOP-RUN
Reaction to CPU STOP

The behavior of the FM 350-1 when the higher-level controller fails is set using the Basic Parameters dialog.
Basic parameter STOP Continue Exit active job
FM 350-1 reaction to CPU STOP The FM cancels the counting operation and switches off the outputs. The FM continues working and does not switch off the outputs. For single counting, the counting operation is continued until it is ended by reaching the counting limit. For periodic counting, the current counting operation is continued until it is ended by reaching the counting limit. Measurements are cancelled immediately. The FM then switches off the outputs.
Substitute value
The current Count mode is cancelled. The module outputs the set substitute values to the digital outputs. The substitute values are retained after the CPU STOP-RUN transition until the next time the digital outputs are used. The outputs are reset when you change the Reaction to CPU STOP with new parameters. The current Measure mode is cancelled, and the outputs are reset.
Keep last value
The current Count mode or Measure mode is cancelled. The module outputs at the digital outputs the values that were valid at the time of canceling until the next time the digital outputs are used after the CPU STOP-RUN transition.
Reaction to New Parameters

The FM 350-1 behavior at the CPU transition from STOP to RUN if the job is continued or in response to plant changes during operation using CiR is set using the Basic Parameters dialog.
Basic parameter Always reset Only reset when parameters have been changed
FM 350-1 reaction to new parameters at the CPU STOP-RUN transition The FM cancels the counting and measuring operations, resets itself and accepts the new parameters. The FM only cancels the counting and measuring operations if the parameters have changed.

In the following sections you will learn how to use these functions in the user program. This chapter does not contain a detailed description of the individual parameters or function arguments. Please see Chapter 11 for these.
Programming Environment All the system functions and standard functions of the M7-300/400 system software are available to you for programming in the Borland C/C++ development environment in STEP 7. System functions support you in the following, for example: Task management Memory management Communications Interrupt processing Diagnostics processing Responding to system states Accessing process I/O In addition, you can use the standard functions of the RMOS CRUN library. You will find descriptions of these functions in the M7-300/400 system software manuals.
Header File When creating a C program for counter control, you must link in the header file M7CNT.H in the declaration section. All other necessary header files are already linked when you work with Borland C programs.

6.2
Basic Program Structure
Sequence The program structure for the counter module must be adapted to the requirements of your application. In most cases however, the program will contain the following functions in the sequence given, with most of the functions being optional. The only strict requirement is that you call the M7CntInit function once per channel before all other funcitons in the count library.
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10
You can use all further functions of the counter function library if required in the user program in the sequence necessary for your application. The first two functions belong to the M7-API library.
Example The software package includes an example program that clearly illustrates use of the counter functions and makes it easier for you to start programming.
6-4

M7LinkIOAlarm (from M7-API) Trigger and handle process interrupts. Otherwise, no process interrupts are reported. M7LinkDiagAlarm (from M7-API) M7CntInit Trigger and handle diagnostics interrupts. Otherwise, no diagnostics interrupts are reported. Initialize counter channel (mandatory) M7CntPar Parameterize counter channel via the program. Otherwise, you can parameterize the counter channel under STEP 7 (see Parameter Assignment chapter 4). Communicate a load value to the counter channel. Otherwise, the counter channel starts with the value 0. Communicate comparison values to the counter channel. Otherwise, the comparison values are at 0. M7CntLoadDirect M7CntLoadComp M7CntEnableOut M7CntStart Enable outputs if you want to use the digital outputs of the counter channel. Start counter channel if you have set an operating mode with software gate. In the case of operating modes with hardware gate, you start the counter channel via the START digital input. Stop counter channel M7CntStop M7CntRead Read counter value, for example, for test purposes or further processing.
Function
Explanation
6.3
Initializing and Parameterizing the Counter Channel
M7CntInit Initializing the Counter Channel Counter channels are initialized via the M7CntInit function. The M7CntInit function must be called once for each counter channel used. It assigns a logical channel number to the address of the counter channel. You specify the address of the counter channel as a parameter. It consists of the following: The module starting address With M7-300, you can specify the slot-dependent default starting address or an address parameterized with STEP 7. With M7-400, you specify the starting address parameterized with STEP 7. If you have assigned a symbol to the address, you can import this symbol into your user program (see ProC/C++ for M7-300/400 User Manual). Input type (always M7IO_IN or M7IO_OUT, it doesnt matter which) Channel number The channel number can take the following values: in the FM 350-1 and IF counters the value is equal to 1 (1 channel) in the FM 350-1 the value is {1/2} (2 channels)
Logical Channel Number The function supplies the logical channel number that you use for all further accesses to this counter channel.
Example
M7CntInit (CNTMODULEADDRESS, M7IO_IN, 1, &LogChannel)
The parameter &LogChannel contains the return value of the function, the logical channel number.
6-5
Parameterizing the Counter Channel Parameterizing sets the counter module to the requirements of your application. You select the following, for example: The operating mode (with software gate or hardware gate) The sensor type (24 V or 5 V) The interrupt characteristics of the counter channel, etc. See Chapter 8 for explanations of the settings. The counter module must be parameterized. If a counter channel is not parameterized, you will receive an error message. There are two basic methods of parameterizing the counter channel: With STEP 7 With the M7CntPar function
Parameterizing with STEP 7 You can parameterize the counter module in a user-friendly manner via screen forms in STEP 7 (see Chapter 4). The parameterization data set with STEP 7 are transferred to the counter module when the M7-300/400 is started up. This means that you must execute a SIMATIC M7 restart each time you change the parameterization data. Note The parameters valid at any one time cannot be read out using STEP 7.
Parameterizing the Counter Channel with M7CntPar You can parameterize and reparameterize a counter channel via the user program using the M7CntPar function. You specify the new parameterization data in the M7CNT_PARAM structure when you call the M7CntPar function (see the function library). The function transfers the parameterization data to the counter module and the new settings become effective immediately.
6-6
Note When you call the M7CntPar function, all the current parameterization data are always completely overwritten and no part parameterizations can be made. When reparameterizations are made, any previously stored input or output enables are lost. This means that the M7CntEnableSet and, for example, M7CntEnableOut functions may have to be called again after M7CntPar. Reparameterization overwrites already set comparison values and the load value. When reparameterizing with the M7CntPar function, counter pulses can also be lost. Reparameterization does not affect the other counter channel in the FM 350-1.
Parameterization Data Table 11-1 (page 11-34) shows you the assignments between the components of the M7CNT_PARAM structure and the parameterization data, data type, value range and default value.
6-7
6.4
Transferring the Load Value and Comparison Values
Load Value You can specify a starting value, the load value (LoadVal) to the counter channel. The default load value is 0.
M7CntLoadDirect M7CntLoadPrep The load value can be transferred direct to the counter channel or it can be stored temporarily in the counter-internal load register. The counter channel can be loaded direct with the M7CntLoadDirect function. With the M7CntLoadPrep function, the load value is not transferred direct to the counter channel, but stored temporarily in the counter channel. The counter channel accepts the load value if: a hardware pulse exists at the SET or START input an overflow or underflow takes place and a periodic operating mode is set the M7CntStart function is called
Comparison Values You can use the comparison values to control the digital outputs and to trigger interrupts: As soon as the comparison value has been reached, an output can be set, thus triggering a control action. In addition, you can stipulate that a process interrupt is to be triggered as soon as a specific comparison value has been reached. You determine the behavior of the digital outputs via parameterization. chapter 8 contains a description of the possible settings and their effects. If you control the digital outputs with the comparison values, you must enable the digital outputs with the M7CntEnableOut function. This call is also required after reparameterization of the counter channel.
M7CntLoadComp You can transfer one or two comparison values to the counter channel with the M7CntLoadComp.
6-8
6.5
Control of the Digital Inputs and Outputs
Digital Inputs The counter module has the digital inputs START, STOP, RESET (IF 961-CT1 only) and SET. If an operating mode with hardware gate control has been set, you can control the counter module via hardware signals. Using the SET digital input, the counter channel can be set to the load value via an external signal (see Chapter 8).
M7CntEnableSet The SET input is enabled with the M7CntEnableSet function. The SET input (or the associated loading of the counter channel) can be enabled for the up count direction, the down count direction or both count directions with only one function call.
M7CntDisableSet Analogously, the SET input can be disabled via the M7CntDisableSet function. The SET input can be disabled for the up count direction, the down count direction or both count directions with only one function call in the same way as it could be enabled.
Digital Outputs The counter module has two digital outputs (per counter channel) that you can use to trigger responses in the process independently of the CPU.
M7CntEnableOut With the M7CntEnableOut function, one output or two of two possible outputs can be enabled with a single function call. The function enables the physical output.
M7CntDisableOut With the M7CntDisableOut function, each output can be disabled individually or both outputs can be disabled simultaneously with a single function call.
6-9
6.6
Starting and Stopping the Counter Channel
Starting the Counter Channel Depending on the operating mode, with hardware or software gate control, there are two methods of starting the counter channel: 1. Via the software gate with the M7CntStart function 2. Via the hardware gate by a signal at the START digital input. You set the operating mode via parameterization.
M7CntStart Using the M7CntStart, the counter channel is started via the software gate. The function opens the software gate.
M7CntLoadAndStart In addition, the counter channel can be started via the M7CntLoadAndStart function. When called, this function transfers a load value direct to the counter channel. Like M7CntStart, this function also starts the counter channel via the software gate. Note In the case of the operating modes with hardware gate control, the M7CntStart and M7CntLoadAndStart functions initiate a message pointing out an operator error.
Stopping the Counter Channel There are two methods of stopping the counter channel: 1. Via the software gate with one of the M7CntStop or M7CntStopandRead functions. 2. Via the hardware gate by a signal at the STOP digital input
M7CntStop The counter channel is stopped with the M7CntStop function. The gate stop function of the counter channel is switched on with this function. The function operates independent of the method of gate control (hardware gate or software gate).
6-10
Note If a counter channel with hardware gate control is stopped with the M7CntStop function, the counter channel cannot be started until parameterization or reparameterization (M7CntPar function) has taken place.
M7CntStopAndRead The counter channel can also be stopped via the M7CntStopAndRead function. This function stops the counter channel and reads the counter status. The function is possible in all operating modes with gate control.
6-11
6.7
Reading the Counter Value and the Load Value, Scanning and Resetting the Status
Scanning Information The functions listed below are used for scanning information such as Counter value Load value Counter status The counter status can be reset if required.
M7CntRead The counter status can be read with M7CntRead. The current status of the counter channel is read and stored in the pActCntV return parameter.
M7CntStop AndRead The M7CntStopAndRead function stops the counter channel and reads the counter status simultaneously. The current counter status is then stored in pActCntV.
M7CntRead LoadValue The load value of a counter channel can be read with M7CntReadLoadValue.
Scanning the Counter Status You can scan the status of the counter channel with the M7CntReadStatus function. The function returns the counter status. See the description of M7CntReadStatus in Chapter 11 for the meaning of the individual bits in the counter status. The function can be used, for example, to scan the zero pass to see if the counter channel is running, if the counter overflow has taken place, which counter direction is in force, etc.
Resetting the Counter Status Bits that have been set in M7CntReadStatus can be reset again via the M7CntResetStatus, in order, for example, to detect a renewed zero pass or a renewed counter synchronization (multiple setting via SET digital input).
6-12
6.8
Processing Interrupts
Registering at the Interrupt Server Depending on the parameters assigned, the counter module can initiate process interrupts and/or diagnostics interrupts. In order to receive process interrupts and diagnostics interrupts, the counter channel must be registered with the interrupt server. For this purpose, you must call the following functions: M7LinkIOAlarm, to receive process interrupts M7LinkDiagAlarm, to receive diagnostics interrupts See the System Software for M7-300 and M7-400 Programming Manual for details of how to work with the interrupt server.
Evaluating Process Interrupts Your parameter assignments determine if the counter module is to initiate process interrupts and if so which process interrupts it is to initiate (see Table11-1). If required, you define the responses to process interrupts in the program.
Evaluating Diagnostics Interrupts If a diagnostics interrupt is signaled by the interrupt server you must evaluate the signal (data set DS0) in order to determine the cause of the interrupt. You can call the following functions from the counter function library to get additional information: M7CntReadDiag, if the diagnosis is Error in one channel. M7CntReadParError, if the diagnosis is Parameter assignment error.
M7CntReadDiag By calling the M7CntReadDiag function, you can scan additional information on the channel error. When the function is called, the diagnostics data set DS1 is read. Data set DS1 contains the additional channel-specific diagnostics information. The first 4 bytes of DS1 contain the current DS0 data set. The diagnostics interrupts and data sets DS0 and DS1 are explained in Chapter 12.
6-13
M7CntRead ParError If the cause of the diagnostics interrupt is a parameter assignment error, you can scan more detailed information with the M7CntReadParError function. The M7CntReadParError function returns an error number that indicates a data error in the M7CNT_PARAM structure. From this you can determine which parameterization datum contains the error or has been assigned an illegal value and you can reparameterize the counter module accordingly.
6.9
Processing Error Messages
Error Messages If an error occurs during execution of a function, the function supplies an error number as a return value. You can determine the exact cause of the error with the help of this error number. See Chapter 12 for exact descriptions of the error numbers.
Error Numbers The table shows the ranges of the error numbers and tells you where you can find more detailed information on evaluating the error numbers:

Basic Information on Calling Operating Modes, Settings and Commands
How Do You Select the Operating Modes?

You select the operating modes in the parameter assignment screen forms of the FM 350-1. The parameter assignment data are saved on the programming device and transferred automatically to the rack SDB. You will find information on how to install the parameter assignment screens and assign parameters to the FM 350-1 in the section entitled Assigning Parameters to the FM 350-1 and, after the software has been installed, in the online Help as well.
How Do You Change Operating Modes and Settings?

You can change an operating mode or setting in the parameter assignment screen forms. The new operating mode or setting becomes valid after the next FM 350-1 start-up.
How Do You Give Commands?

The commands are given either via hardware signals connected to the front connector, or you set the relevant input parameter of the FC CNT_CTL1 in the user program in order to influence the count. The input parameters are stored as control bits in the DB of the FC CNT_CTL1.
Control Bits and Status Bits in the DB

In addition to the control bits, there are status bits in the DB that signal the status of the counting and measuring processes. The DB has two bytes for the control bits and two bytes for the status bits (see Chapter 10).
Transferring the Control Bits and the Status Bits

You transfer the status bits and the control bits between the CPU and the module with the FC CNT_CTRL that you must link into your user program: The control bits and status bits should, if possible, be addressed symbolically in the user program. The symbolic names are used in the description of the FC in this chapter. You will find the precise description of the FC CNT_CTL1 in Chapter LEERER MERKER, Programming the FM 350-1 and you will find the DB assignments in Chapter 10.

Isochrone Mode
Note The principles of isochrone mode are described in a separate manual.
Hardware Requirements
To use the FM 350-1 in isochrone mode, you will need: a CPU that supports isochrone mode a DP master that support the equidistant bus cycle
Properties
Depending on the configuration, the FM 350-1 works in either non-isochrone or isochrone mode. The default is non-isochrone mode. If configured appropriately, the FM 350-1 automatically switches to isochrone mode without signaling the change. In isochrone mode, the exchange of data between the DP master and FM 350-1 is isochronous with the PROFIBUS DP cycle, i.e.: All control signals transferred to the FM 350-1 take effect at the time To within the same PROFIBUS DP cycle. All values and FM 350-1 status bits recorded at the time Ti are made available at the feedback interface in the same PROFIBUS DP cycle. In isochrone mode, all 16 bytes of the feedback interface are consistent, i.e. the values and status bits always match one another. The counter value, which is affected by digital input signals, such as Load counter by opening the hardware gate, Load counter by synchronization, Latch and latch/retrigger a counter value can then only take effect in the same PROFIBUS DP cycle if the event occurred before time Ti within this PROFIBUS DP cycle. A parameter assignment error will prevent the FM 350-1 switching to isochrone mode. If isochrone mode is lost due to a fault or due to failure / delay of Global Control (GC), the FM 350-1 returns to isochrone mode in the next cycle without responding to the fault. The feedback interface is not updated if isochrone mode is lost.

Count Modes
8.3.1
What are the Count Modes?

When you specify an operating mode, you decide the functionality with which the FM 350-1 is to work. Table 8-1 contains an overview of the Count modes.
Table 8-1 The FM 350-1 Count modes Designation Continuous counting with or without SW gate or HW gate See section 8.3.3, page 8-8 Single counting with SW gate or HW gate See section 8.3.4, page 8-10 Periodic counting with SW gate or HW gate See section 8.3.5, page 8-15 When the gate opens, the FM 350-1 counts between the load value and the counting limit. When the gate opens, the FM 350-1 counts from the load value to the counting limit. Description The FM 350-1 counts continuously from the current counter level.
You must set the FM 350-1 parameters in order to run one of these operating modes (see the 4 and 7 section).
8-4
8.3.2
Definitions
Load Value
You can assign a load value LOAD_VAL to the FM 350-1 during operation. This will overwrite the starting count. You can assign this load value directly (control signal L_DIRECT). It is then accepted directly by the FM 350-1 as a new counter value and loaded in preparation. You can load the load value in preparation only (control signal L_PREPAR). A load value that is loaded in preparation is accepted by the FM 350-1 as a new counter value in response to the following events: In the single counting and periodic counting Count modes When the upper or lower limit is reached if no main counting direction is set. When the set upper counting limit is reached for main counting direction up. When 0 is reached for main counting direction down. In all Count modes The counting process is started by the interrupting SW or HW gate (the load value is not accepted when the counting continues). Synchronization Latch/retrigger
Gate Control
You can use the hardware gate (HW gate) and software gate (SW gate) to control the FM 350-1 counting processes.
8-5
Maximum Count Range without Main Counting Direction

The 32-bit binary counter of the FM 350-1 can work in two different modes, depending on the parameter assignments: 0 to +32-bit mode (32-bit unsigned) Hexadecimal count range: 0000 0000 Decimal count range: 0 to FFFF FFFF to +4 294 967 295
An overflow is detected when the counter value (hexadecimal) changes from FFFF FFFF to 0, and an underflow is detected when it changes from 0 to FFFF FFFF. 31 to +31-bit mode (31-bit signed) Hexadecimal count range: 8000 0000 to 7FFF FFFF Decimal count range: 2 147 483 648 to +2 147 483 647 An overflow is detected when the counter value (hexadecimal) changes from 7 FFF FFFF to 8000 000, and an underflow is detected when it changes from 8 000 0000 to 7FFF FFFF.
Main Counting Direction:

When you set a main counting direction (up or down), you can limit the maximum count range to a smaller range by setting the upper count limit. The set count range is then between 0 and the set upper counter limit. This can be used to create incrementing or decrementing counting applications, for example. The set main counting direction has no effect on the direction evaluation when the count pulses are detected.
Starting Counts According to Parameter Assignment

Table 8-2 Starting count Value Load value Main counting direction: none up down none up down Starting count 0 0 set upper count limit 0 0 set upper count limit 0 0 set upper count limit 0 0 set upper count limit
Counter value
Comparison value 1 and 2 none up down Latch value none up down
8-6
Isochrone Mode
In isochrone mode, the FM 350-1 accepts control bits and control values from the control interface in each PROFIBUS DP cycle and returns its response to them within the same cycle. In each cycle, the FM 350-1 sends the counter value or latch value that was valid at the time Ti and the status bits that were valid at the time Ti. Thus, a counter level that is affected by hardware input signals can only be transferred in the same cycle if the input signal occurs before the time Ti.
What are the Commands?

You can apply five commands to the FM 350-1 counting process during operation. Table 8-3 contains an overview of these commands.
Table 8-3 The FM 350-1 commands Description The counting process starts when a gate opens and ends when it closes. The counter can be set to the load value using various signals. Saves the counter level and loads the counter with the load value in response to a positive edge at Start DI. Saves the counter level in response to a positive edge at Start DI. Measures the times between two immediately successive edges at the Start DI digital input.
Designation Open and close gate Set counter Latch/retrigger Latch Measure times between two edges

8.3.3
Continuous Counting
Definition
In this operating mode, the FM 350-1 counts continuously from the count: If the counter reaches the upper limit when counting up and a further count pulse is received, it jumps to the lower count limit and continues to count from there without any pulse losses. If the counter reaches the lower limit when counting down and a further count pulse is received, it jumps to the upper limit and continues to count from there without any pulse losses. The upper count limit is set to +2,147,483,647 (231 1). The lower count limit is set to 2,147,483,648 (231).
Behavior at the Count Limits

If the counter reaches the upper or lower count limit and a further count pulse is received, then the counter is set to the other count limit. An appropriate status bit is set in the DB.
Count limit reached Upper count limit Lower count limit Status bit in the DB STS_OFLW is set STS_UFLW is set

Opening and Closing the Software Gate

You open and close the software gate of the counter in each case with the input parameter SW_GATE of the FC CNT_CTL1.
Action Open software gate Close software gate ...Is Initiated By Setting SW_GATE Resetting SW_GATE
Opening and Closing the Hardware Gate

You open and close the hardware gate by applying the relevant signals to or removing the signals from digital inputs DI Start and DI Stop.

When the hardware gate opens, the counting operation resumes with the current counter level.
Terminating the Count with the Gate Stop Function

You can also terminate the count when counting with the software gate or hardware gate by using the gate stop function. Set input parameter GATE_STP of FC CNT_CTL1 (see Section 5.3) for this purpose.

Single Counting
Overview
In this operating mode, the FM 350-1 counts once in the set main counting direction. You can program the following behavior: Single counting No main counting direction Single counting Main counting direction up Single counting Main counting direction down
Single Counting No Main Counting Direction

In single counting mode without a main counting direction, when the gate is opened, the FM 350-1 counts up or down from the load value until one of the count limit is exceeded. If one of the count limit is exceeded, the gate is closed, the STS_OFLW or STS_UFLW bit in the feedback interface is set, the counter is loaded to the other count limit. The count limits are fixed at the maximum count range. The STS_ZERO bit is set if the counter level is zero. You must open the gate again to restart the counting.

In single counting mode with main counting direction up, when the gate is opened, the FM 350-1 counts up or down from the load value until the upper count limit is exceeded. If the upper count limit is exceeded, the gate is closed, the STS_OFLW bit in the feedback interface is set, the counter is loaded with the load value. The upper count limit can be set. The load value has a starting count and can be changed. You must open the gate again to restart the counting.

Single Counting with Load Value and gate control

You open and close the software gate and set the counter to the load value with the input parameter SW_GATE of the FC CNT_CTL1.
Action Open software gate Close software gate ...Is Initialized By Setting SW_GATE Resetting SW_GATE

You open and close the hardware gate and set the counter to the load value by applying and removing the corresponding signals to and from digital inputs DI Start and DI Stop.

With a level-controlled hardware gate, the renewed opening of the gate and setting of the counter to the load value is performed by a signal across DI Start. If a positive pulse edge is reapplied across DI Start in the case of an edge-controlled hardware gate, the counter will again start counting from the load value, irrespective of whether the gate is closed or still open (retrigger); that is, provided that the DI Stop is not set.
8-13

If the counter has reached the upper or lower count limit and a further count pulse is received, the counter is set to the other count limit when counting without a main counting direction to the load value when counting with a main counting direction The gate is then closed and the count is terminated even if the SW_GATE parameter is still set or the hardware gate is still open. An appropriate status bit is set in the DB.

Periodic Counting
Overview
In this operating mode, the FM 350-1 counts periodically when the gate is open. You can program the following behavior: Periodic counting No main counting direction Periodic counting Main counting direction up Periodic counting Main counting direction down
Periodic Counting No Main Counting Direction

In periodic counting mode without a main counting direction, when the gate is opened, the FM 350-1 counts up or down from the load value until one of the count limit is exceeded. If one of the count limit is exceeded, the STS_OFLW or STS_UFLW bit in the feedback interface is set, the counter is set to the load value from which it resumes counting. The count limits are fixed at the maximum count range. The STS_ZERO bit is set if the counter level is zero. The counting is resumed when the gate is closed.

8.3.6
Count Range
Introduction
There is a 32-bit wide count register on the module. With the Count range, you select whether the module is to count only in the positive range or whether the 32nd bit is interpreted as a sign bit thus allowing negative numbers to be represented. You can only select a count range if no main counting direction is set.
Count Ranges
The FM 350-1 counts in different count ranges at the two count range limits. An overflow or an underflow is detected at the respective count limits. In the 31 to +31 Bit count mode, the counter status is represented in 2s complement.
Count range 0 to +32 bit* 31 to +31 bit 0 to 4,294,967,295 0 to FFFF FFFFH 2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 8000 0000H to 7FFF FFFFH Overflow When the counter status changes from 4,294,967,295 to 0 When the counter status changes from +2,147,483,647 to 2,147,483,648 Underflow When the counter status changes from 0 to 4,294,967,295 When the counter status changes from to 2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647
*In this count range, you can only specify and evaluate hexadecimal values.
Overflow, Underflow and Zero Pass

At both count limits, a bit is set in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL1 in the event of overflow and underflow (see Chapter 10). At the 31 to +31-bit count range limit, a bit is similarly set in the DB with a zero pass. At the 0 to +32bit count range limit, an overflow or underflow, depending on the direction of counting, is additionally indicated upon zero pass.
Event Overflow Underflow Zero pass Status Bit in DB STS_OFLW is set STS_UFLW is set STS_ZERO is set
Initiating Process Interrupts

You can also signal the overflow, underflow and zero pass events via process interrupts.

8.3.7
Command: Open and Close Gate
Introduction
The FM 350-1 has the following gates: A hardware gate that you can operate either with level control or with edge control. A software gate that you can open and close via control bits in the user program.
Selecting the Gate

When you select the operating mode, you define which gate you want to use for the count. The figures below represent the different methods of opening and closing the gates of the FM 350-1.
Level-Controlled Opening and Closing of the Hardware Gate

Figure 8-10 shows level-controlled opening and closing of the hardware gate.
Counter status 1 Count pulses DI Start Open gate Close gate 2 3 4 4
Figure 8-10
Level-Controlled Opening and Closing of the Hardware Gate
The count pulses can reach the counter and are counted while digital input DI Start is set. The gate is closed if the Start DI digital input is reset. The count pulses are no longer counted, the counter comes to a halt. If the gate is closed by an overflow or an underflow, you must first reset digital input DI Start and then set it back again in order to open the gate once more. The level-controlled hardware gate becomes active upon the first positive pulse edge across DI Start following parameter assignment. With this parameter assignment, the Stop DI input is not evaluated. It is merely displayed in the status bit STS_STP.
8-21
Edge-Controlled Opening and Closing of the Hardware Gate

Figure 8-11 shows edge-controlled opening and closing of the hardware gate.
1 Count pulses DI Start
Counter status 4

Figure 8-11
Edge-Controlled Opening and Closing of the Hardware Gate
With the edge-controlled gate, the hardware gate is opened by a positive pulse edge at digital input DI Start. The gate is closed by a positive pulse edge at digital input DI Stop. With simultaneous positive pulse edges at both inputs, an open gate is closed and a closed gate remains closed. If digital input DI Stop is set, a positive pulse edge at digital input DI Start cannot open the gate.
Status of Inputs DI Start and DI Stop

The status of the two inputs DI Start and DI Stop is indicated on green LEDs I0 and I1 and within the user program in bits STS_STA and STS_STP of the DB of the FC CNT_CTL1.
Status of the Gate

The status of the gate is indicated within the user program in the STS_GATE bit.

Figure 8-12 shows opening and closing of the software gate.
Counter status 1 Count pulses SW_GATE Bit set Bit reset 2 3 4 4
Figure 8-12
Opening and Closing of the Software Gate
The software gate is opened and closed by setting and resetting the SW_GATE input parameter of the FC CNT_CTL1. The closed gate can be reopened by setting input parameter SW_GATE again. Edge-controlled opening and closing of the software gate is not possible.
Status of the Software Gate

The status of the software gate is indicated in bit STS_SW_G of the DB of the FC CNT_CTL1.
8-23
Cancel and Interrupt Gate Function

When you program the gate function, you can define whether the gate should cancel or interrupt the counting process. With a Cancel gate function, the counting starts when the gate is closed, and starts again from the load value at the next gate start (time (1) in figure 8-13):
Counter level (1) Upper count limit Load value Lower count limit Gate start Gate stop Gate start Time
Figure 8-13
Continuous counting, down, Cancel gate function
With an Interrupt gate function, the counting starts when the gate is closed, and continues from the last current counter value at the next gate start (time (1) in figure 8-14):
Counter level Upper count limit Load value Lower count limit Gate start
(1)
Gate stop
Gate start
Time
Figure 8-14
Continuous counting, down, Interrupt gate function

You can also terminate the count with the gate stop function of the relevant counter regardless of the signals applied or the status of the software gate. For this purpose, set the GATE_STP input parameter of the FC_CNT_CTL1. If you reset this parameter, you can only open the gate again by means of a positive pulse edge at digital input DI Start (hardware gate) or by setting the input parameter SW_GATE (software gate) once more.
8-24
Gate Control in Isochrone Mode

Gate control with the SW gate: For control with the SW gate, you set and reset the SW_GATE control bit in the user program. The counting process then starts and ends at the time To in the next PROFIBUS DP cycle after the control bit is changed (Figure 8-15).

8.3.8
Behavior of the Digital Outputs
Introduction
You can store two comparison values (comparison value 1 and 2) on the module for each counter. These comparison values are assigned to the two digital outputs (comparison value 1: DO0 , comparison value 2: DO1). The relevant output can be set depending on the counter status and the comparison value. This section describes the behavior of the outputs.
Comparison Values 1 and 2

You enter the two comparison values in the DB of the FC CNT_CTL1 (CMP_V1, CMP_V2) and transfer them to the FM 350-1 by setting the bits T_CMP_V1 or T_CMP_V2 (see Chapter 10). The count is not affected by this. The comparison values must be within the limits of the selected count range. The comparison value is interpreted according to the selected count range. If you give FFFF FFFF H, for example, as the comparison value, the number is interpreted as 4,294,967,295 in 32-bit mode, and as 1 in +31-bit mode. The following ranges of values are permitted for the comparison values:
Range of values for comparison values Lower limit Upper limit Main counting direction: None Maximum lower count limit Maximum upper count limit Up 231 Programmed upper count limit 1 Down 1 231 1
Enabling the Outputs

Before the outputs can be set, you must enable them first by setting the relevant bits in the DB (see Chapter 10). If you reset one of these bits the associated output is switched off immediately even if you have parameterized a pulse duration for them. Output
DO0 DO1 CTRL_DO0 CTRL_DO1
...Is Enabled By
8-27
Setting and Resetting the Outputs

If you set the behavior of an output to Inactive, you can set and reset enabled outputs using the appropriate bits in the DB.
Output DO0 DO1 is set by SET_DO0 = 1 SET_DO1 = 1 is reset by SET_DO0 = 0 SET_DO1 = 0
Behavior of the Outputs

For both digital outputs you can program one of 6 possible responses to reaching the comparison value. The various possibilities are shown in the table below.
Digital output parameter assignments Inactive
Behavior of the digital outputs
Underflow
Comparison value
Overflow
The output remains deactivated and is not affected by the comparison value, zero pass, overflow or underflow events. The output DOx may be used purely as a digital output. When enabled, it can be set and reset with the SET_DOx bit. Active from comparison value to overflow *
Underflow Comparison value Overflow
The output is activated if the counter is in the range between the comparison value n and overflow. Setting the counter to a value between the comparison value and overflow activates the output. Active from comparison value to underflow *

Status bits STS_CMP1 and STS_CMP2 indicate the current status of outputs DO0 and DO1. If enabled, they are set by CTRL_DO0 and CTRL_DO1 if a comparison condition is fulfilled and are reset if the condition is not fulfilled. Status bits STS_COMP1 and STS_COMP2 are set by CTRL_DO0 and CTRL_DO1 if a comparison condition is fulfilled, regardless of whether they are enabled, and remain set until you acknowledge the status bits with RES_ZERO.

Switch to Comparison Value

Output DO1 switches at two comparison values if the following conditions are fulfilled: You have set the behavior of DO0 to Inactive. You have set the behavior of DO1 to Active for switching to comparison values. You have loaded the two comparison values CMP_V1 and CMP_2. You have enabled output DO1 with CRTL_DO1. The following table shows when DO1 is activated and deactivated:
Comparison values CMP_V1 and CMP_V2 CMP_V1 < CMP_V2 (see figure 8-17) CMP_V1 = CMP_V2 CMP_V1 > CMP_V2 (see figure 8-18) DO1 is activated if CMP_V1 counter level CMP_V2 CMP_V1 = counter level = CMP_V2 Counter level < CMP_V2 or counter level > CMP_V1 DO1 is deactivated if Counter level < CMP_V1 or counter level > CMP_V2 CMP_V1 counter level CMP_V2 CMP_V2 counter level CMP_V1
The result of the comparison is indicated by the status bit STS_COMP2. You cannot acknowledge and thus reset the status bit STS_COMP2 until the comparison condition is no longer fulfilled. The status of the DO1 output is indicated by the status bit STS_CMP2. There is no hysteresis with this output behavior. With this output behavior, it is not possible to control output DO1 with the SET_DO1 control bit.

Pulse Duration
You can set a pulse duration in order to adapt to the actuators (contactors, actuators, etc) used in your process. The pulse duration indicates how long outputs DO0 and DO1 are active when a comparison value is reached. If main counting direction up or main counting direction down is set, then the pulse duration is only active in the main counting direction. If no main counting direction is set, then the pulse duration can be active in both counting directions. The pulse duration starts when the output is set. The inaccuracy of the pulse duration is less than 1 ms. A value between 0 and 500 ms may be set for the pulse duration. This value applies to both outputs together. If the pulse duration = 0 ms, the output is set when the comparison value is reached and is reset at the next count pulse. The default pulse duration is 0.
8-32
Note If you set pulse duration = 0 ms, the output remains active until the counter level is equal to the comparison value.Control pulses may be lost at the outputs if the time interval between the count pulses is less than the switching times of the digital outputs (up to 300 ms). You should therefore make sure that the interval between the count pulses is greater than the switching times of the digital outputs.

Marginal conditions for the behavior of the digital outputs

If you parameterize the behavior of the digital outputs, you must observe the following marginal conditions.
Table 8-6 Marginal conditions for the behavior of the digital outputs If... ...you want to parameterize an output Active from comparison value to overflow or underflow Then... ...you must ensure that the time between these events is greater than the minimum switching time of the outputs (switching time: 300 ms); otherwise, the control pulses at the outputs are lost. If the counter status reaches the relevant comparison value again while the output is still active, no new pulse is initiated. A further pulse can only be initiated when the output is no longer active. ...you want to parameterize an output Active ...you must not enable a process interrupt on from comparison value to overflow Reaching the relevant comparison value up or down. ...you want to parameterize an output Active ...you must not enable a process interrupt on from comparison value to underflow Reaching the relevant comparison value up or down. ...you want to parameterize an output Active on exceeding up limit ...you want to parameterize an output Active on exceeding down limit ...you must not enable a process interrupt on Reaching the relevant comparison value down. ...you must not enable a process interrupt on Reaching the (relevant) comparison value up.
Default Setting
The outputs are switched off in the default setting.
Behavior of the Digital Outputs in Isochrone Mode

In isochrone mode, the outputs DO0 and DO1 switch immediately after the comparison conditions are fulfilled, and are thus independent of the PROFIBUS DP cycle. Exception: If you have set the behavior of the digital outputs to inactive and, after enabling with CTRL_DO0 or CTRL_DO1, you activate the outputs with the control signal SET_DO0 or SET_DO1, the outputs are set and reset at the time To.
8-34
Hysteresis
An encoder can stop at a certain position, and then oscillate around this position. This causes the counter level to fluctuate around a certain value. If there is a comparison value, for example, within this fluctuation range the associated output would be switched on and off in time with these fluctuations. The FM 350-1 is equipped with a programmable hysteresis in order to prevent this switching in response to small fluctuations. A value between 0 and 255 may be set for the hysteresis.
Table 8-7 Effect of the hysteresis Effect The hysteresis has no effect (switched off) The output responds to the smallest change in the counter level. 2 hysteresis value n 255 The hysteresis takes effect. The output does not respond until the counter level is n units away from the comparison value.
Hysteresis Hysteresis value n = 0.1
The hysteresis applies to both overflow and underflow.
How the Hysteresis Works for a Setting of Active from Comparison Value to Overflow/Underflow
Figure 8-20 illustrates the effect of the hysteresis. This diagram shows the differences between the behavior of an output for a set hysteresis of 0 (= switched off) and a hysteresis of 3. In the example, the comparison value = 5. The parameter assignments for this example are: Main counting direction, up Active from comparison value to overflow The hysteresis becomes active when the comparison condition (counter level = 5) is fulfilled. If hysteresis is active, the comparison result remains unchanged. If the counter value leaves the hysteresis range (at counter value 2 or 8 in the example), hysteresis ceases to be active. The comparator switches again according to its comparison conditions - at counter value 5 in the example.

How Hysteresis Works for a Setting of Active on Reaching the Comparison Value Up/Down for Pulse Duration
Figure 8-22 illustrates the effect of the hysteresis. This diagram shows the differences between the behavior of an output for a set hysteresis of 0 (= switched off) and a hysteresis of 3. In the example, the comparison value = 5. The parameter assignments for this example are: Main counting direction, none Active on reaching the comparison value for pulse duration (up) Pulse duration > 0 The hysteresis becomes active when the comparison condition (counter level = 5) is fulfilled, and a pulse of the set duration is output. If the counter value leaves the hysteresis range, hysteresis ceases to be active. If hysteresis is active, the FM 350-1 saves the counting direction. A pulse is output if the hysteresis range is left against the stored direction.

Command: Set Counter
Introduction
If you want to start the count from a specific value (the load value), you must parameterize the signal that is to be used to set this counter to the load value. You can set the counter as follows: With the L_DIRECT or L_PREPAR input parameter of the FC_CNT_CTL1 With an external signal, either via the DI Set input or via DI Set in connection with the zero pass of the encoder This section describes the different methods and the time sequence when setting a counter.
Load Value
Any number within the limits of the count range can be set for the count range. The load value is interpreted according to the selected count range. If, for example, you specify FFFF FFFF H as the load value, this is interpreted as 4 294 967 295 within the count range from 0 to +32 bit and as 1 within the count range from 31 to +31 bit. Enter the load value in the DB of the CNT_CTL1 function and transfer it with the CNT_CTL1 function to the module. The counter is then set to the load value: directly and in preparation if input parameter L_DIRECT is set, in preparation only if input parameter L_PREPAR is set, The following ranges of values are permitted for the load value:
Range of values for load values Lower limit Upper limit Main counting direction: None Maximum lower count limit Maximum upper count limit Up 231 +1 Down 2 231 1
Programmed upper count limit 2
Setting the Counter via the User Program

You can set a counter with the FC CNT_CTL1 using the L_DIRECT input parameter regardless of external events. This can also be done while a count is in progress. If you set the counter via the FC_CNT_CTL1 call, this can initiate a process interrupt.
8-38
Setting the Counter with an External Signal

You can select two different external signals with which you can set a counter to the load value: Input I2 only Input I2 and zero mark of the encoder You use the zero mark of the encoder if you want to synchronize the counter to a specific counter status at a specific point in your process. This achieves greater accuracy in the loading operation. The counter is set independently of the Count mode. After the counter has been set with an external signal, bit STS_SYNC in the DB is set.
Note Synchronization of a counter with zero mark only makes sense if the gate is open. If you have only enabled one count direction when setting a counter with an external signal, you must note that when the gate is closed the current count direction is saved (frozen). This enables synchronization of the counter against the enabled count
Process Interrupt
Setting the counter with an external signal can be used to initiate a process interrupt.
Setting the Counter with DI Set

The counter can be loaded with the load value by means of a rising pulse edge across DI Set. By means of the tags ENSET_UP and ENSET_DN in the DB of the FC CNT_CTL1 and by parameter assignment, you can set the response of the FM 350-1 to a positive pulse edge across DI Set.
Bit ENSET_UP set ENSET_DN set ENSET_UP and ENSET_DN set Behavior of the FM 350-1 The counter is only set in the case of up counting The counter is only set in the case of down counting The counter is set in the case of up and down counting
8-39
Bit Parameterization Single setting of counter
Behavior of the FM 350-1 The counter is set only for the first rising edge across DI Set. If the counter is to be set again, you must first set ENSET_UP or ENSET_DN again. The counter is then set again with the next positive edge at input I2. The counter is set at every rising edge at input I2 as long as ENSET_UP and/or ENSET_DN are set.
Multiple setting of counter parameter
Note In any case, you have to set one of the two tags ENSET_UP or/and ENSET_DN so that the counter can be set via digital input Set DI.
Single Setting with DI Set

Figure 8-23 shows single setting of the counter with digital input DI Set. The case illustrated is that only ENSET_UP is set - in other words, the counter is set when counting up. With the first rising pulse edge at digital input DI Set, the counter is set provided that ENSET_UP is similarly set. If you want to set the counter again, you must first reset ENSET_UP and then set it again. The next positive pulse edge at digital input DI Set will then result in the counter being set.

With every rising pulse edge at digital input DI Set, the counter is set provided that ENSET_UP is similarly set. If you reset ENSET_UP, the counter will not be set by input I2. Only when you have set ENSET_UP again, will the next positive edge at input I2 result in the setting of the counter.

Setting the Counter with DI Set and Zero Mark

If you parameterize setting of a counter with the zero mark of the encoder, the counter will be set with the rising edge of the zero mark. Setting is performed only if DI Set is additionally set at the time of the rising pulse edge of the zero mark. You can determine the behavior of the FM 350-1 in the case of a rising edge of the zero mark via the ENSET_UP and ENSET_DN variables in the DB of the FC CNT_CTL1 and via parameterization.
Parameterization ENSET_UP set ENSET_DN set ENSET_UP and ENSET_DN set Behavior of the FM 350-1 The counter is only set in the case of up counting The counter is only set in the case of down counting The counter is set in the case of up and down counting

Parameterization Parameterization Single setting of counter
Behavior of the FM 350-1 The counter is set only at the first rising of the zero mark. If the counter is to be set again, you must first set ENSET_UP or ENSET_DN again (edge evaluation). The counter is then set again with the next rising edge of the zero mark. The counter is set at every rising edge of the zero mark as long as ENSET_UP and/or ENSET_DN are set.
Parameterization Multiple setting of counter
Note You must always set one of the two variables ENSET_UP and/or ENSET_DN so that the counter can be set with the zero mark.
Single Setting of the Counter with DI Set and Zero Mark

Figure 8-25 shows single setting of the counter with the zero mark. In the situation represented, only ENSET_UP is set, that is, the counter is set in the case of up counting. With the first rising pulse edge of the zero mark, the counter is set provided that ENSET_UP and DI Set are similarly set. If you want to set the counter again, you must first reset ENSET_UP and then set it again. If DI Set is not set, setting is performed with the first zero mark after DI Set has been set. If DI Set is set, setting is performed with the next zero mark.

Command: Latch/Retrigger
Definition
The Latch/Retrigger command is used to save (latch) counter levels with edges at the Start DI digital input. Whenever the level is saved, the counter is set to the load value and resumes counting from the load value (retrigger).
Requirement
You will need the SW gate in order to use this command. The minimum interval between latch edges is 1 ms. If the interval between the edges is less, then values may be lost.
Selecting the Edges

You can program the following behavior: Latch/Retrigger in response to a positive edge at Start DI. Latch/Retrigger in response to a negative edge at Start DI. Latch/Retrigger in response to both edges at Start DI.
How it Works
The counter function is enabled when the SW gate opens. The counter level and latch value both have their starting count. This is not changed when the SW gate opens. They remain unchanged when the software gate is opened. Not until the first pulse edge across DI Start does the count operation begin with the load value. The load value is always reloaded for every other pulse edge across DI Start. The latch value is always precisely the counter status at the time of the pulse edge. The status of DI Start is always indicated in the DB by the status bit STS_STA. The latch value is displayed in the DB by means of LATCH_LOAD.

Interrupting and Terminating the Command

If you close the software gate, it only has an interruptive effect. In other words, when the software gate is opened again, the count operation is resumed. Edges at Start DI can be used to store counter levels, even if the SW gate is closed. The counting process is cancelled if you close the SW gate with the GATE_STP in the CNT_CTL1 function, however. The Start DI then cannot store any more counter levels.
Hardware Interrupt with Latch/Retrigger

A hardware interrupt may occur whenever counter values are stored with a Latch/Retrigger. This may mean that a larger interval is required between the edges. If the interrupts occur faster than they can be acknowledged by the system, hardware interrupts are lost. This is signaled by a diagnostic interrupt.

Command: Latch
Definition
The Latch command is used to save (latch) counter levels with edges at the Start DI digital input. The counter level remains unchanged.
Requirement
You will need the SW gate in order to use this command. The minimum interval between latch edges is 1 ms. If the interval between the edges is less, then values may be lost.
Selecting the Edges

You can program the following behavior: Latch in response to a positive edge at Start DI. Latch in response to a negative edge at Start DI. Latch in response to both edges at Start DI.
How it Works
The counter level and latch value both have their starting count. The counter function is started when the SW gate opens. The counter starts with the load value. The latch value is always exactly the same as the counter level at the moment the edge was received. The status of the Start DI is indicated by the status bit STS_STA in the DB. The latch value is indicated by LATCH_LOAD in the DB.

The counting process is cancelled if you close the SW gate with the GATE_STP in the CNT_CTL1 function, however. The Start DI then cannot store any more counter levels.
Hardware Interrupt with Latch

A hardware interrupt can also occur whenever counter values are stored by latching. This may mean that a larger interval is required between the edges. If the interrupts occur faster than they can be acknowledged by the system, hardware interrupts are lost. This is signaled by a diagnostic interrupt.

Command: Measure the Times Between two Edges
Definition
You can use this command to measure the time between two immediately successive edges at the Start DI digital input.
Requirement
The following requirements must be fulfilled in order to use this command: There must be no encoders connected to the FM 350-1. Set the operating mode to any count mode. For Gate Control, set: Latch/Retrigger. For Encoder, set: Internal time Base 1 MHz
Selecting the Edges

To measure the time between two immediately successive ... rising edges at Start DI falling edges at Start DI any edges at Start DI ... program latch with positive edge latch with negative edge latch with both edges
Mode of Operation
The FM 350-1 uses an internal time base of 1 MHz in order to measure times. The time measurement starts with the first edge at Start DI. With every further edge at Start DI, the time in ms that has elapsed since the last edge is always saved as the latch value LATCH_LOAD in the feedback interface.

Measure Modes
8.4.1
What are the Measure Modes?

When you specify an operating mode, you decide the functionality with which the FM 350-1 is to work. Table 8-8 contains an overview of the Measure modes.
Table 8-8 The FM 350-1 Measure modes Designation Frequency measurement See section 8.4.3, page 8-55 RPM measurement See section 8.4.4, page 8-57 Continuous periodic measurement See section 8.4.5, page 8-59 The FM 350-1 counts the pulses that are received from a tacho generator within a dynamic measuring time, and calculates the speed from this value with the number of pulses per encoder revolution. The FM 350-1 indicates the dynamic measuring time as a period. If the period is less than the update time, then an average is calculated for the period. Description The FM 350-1 counts the pulses that occur within a dynamic measuring time.
You must set the FM 350-1 parameters in order to run one of these operating modes (see the 4 and 7 section).
8-49
8.4.2
Definitions
Measuring Principle
The FM 350-1 counts each rising edge of a pulse and assigns a time value in ms to it. The dynamic measuring time is defined as the difference between two time values. For a pulse train with one or more pulses per update interval: Dynamic measuring time = Time value of the last pulse in the current update interval minus Time value of the last pulse in the previous update interval
After the dynamic measuring time is calculated, if update intervals without pulses occur, then the measuring time is extended by these update intervals. If the value 1 pulse per dynamic measuring time is smaller than the last measured value, then this value is output as the new value.

Measurement Sequence
The FM 350-1 measures continuously. When you assign the parameters, you specify an update time. The value -1 is returned in the time up to the end of the first elapsed update time. The first update time starts when the gate is opened. The continuous measurement starts when the gate is opened with the first pulse of the pulse train to be measured. The first measured value can be calculated no earlier than after the second pulse. Whenever the update time expires, a measured value is output at the feedback interface (frequency, period or speed). The end of a measurement is signaled by the STS_COMP1 status bit. This bit is reset by the RES_ZERO and STS_RES_ZERO bits using the complete acknowledgement principle. If a change of direction occurs during an update time, the measured value is not determined for this measurement period. You can respond to any irregularities in the process by evaluating the feedback bit STS_DIR (direction evaluation). Figure 8-30 illustrates the principle of continuous measurement with reference to a frequency measurement.

Limit Value Monitoring

Whenever the update time expires, the measured value (frequency, speed or period) is compared against the set lower and upper limit. If the current measured value is below the set lower limit (measured value < lower limit), the bit STS_UFLW = 1 is set in the status (see figure 8-31). A hardware interrupt may also be generated. If the current measured value is above the set upper limit (measured value upper limit), the bit STS_OFLW = 1 is set in the status (see figure 8-31). A hardware interrupt may also be generated.
STS_OFLW

Limit value monitoring in Measure modes
You must reset the STS_OFLW and STS_UFLW bits with the RES_ZERO and STS_RES_ZERO by applying the complete acknowledgement principle. After the acknowledgement, if the measured value is still or has returned outside the limits, the corresponding status bit is set again. If programmed accordingly, you also can use the limit value monitoring to switch the DO0 output.
Gate Control
You can use the hardware gate (HW gate) and software gate (SW gate) to control the FM 350-1 measuring processes.

Isochrone Mode
In isochrone mode, the FM 350-1 accepts the control signals from the control interface at time To in every PROFIBUS DP cycle. As a result, all the controllers run in isochrone mode and take effect at the time To. The response to the controller is returned in the same PROFIBUS DP cycle. The FM 350-1 provides a measured value and the status bits at time Ti in every PROFIBUS DP cycle. Each measurement starts and ends at time Ti.
Note In non-isochrone mode, you can specify the update time in integer multiples of 10 ms, compared to integer multiples of the PROFIBUS DP cycle time in isochrone mode, so you must always adapt the Update time parameter when you switch between the two modes if you wish to retain the actual update time. See also tables 8-11, 8-12 and 8-13 on pages 8-55, 8-57 and 8-59.
What are the Commands?

You can apply the following commands to the FM 350-1 measuring process.

Definition
In the frequency measurement operating mode, the FM 350-1 counts the pulses that occur within a dynamic measuring time.
Update Time
The FM 350-1 updates the measured values cyclically. The update time is set using the Update Time parameter (see table 8-11). You can change the update time during operation.

Command: Open and Close Gate
Introduction
The FM 350-1 has the following gates: A hardware gate (HW gate) that can either be level-controlled or edge-controlled. A software gate (SW gate) that you can open and close using control bits in the user program.
Selecting a Gate
In the Operating mode dialog (see section 8.3.2), specify which gate you wish to use for the counting operation. The following diagrams illustrate the various options for opening and closing the gates of the FM 350-1.
Level-Controlled Opening and Closing of the HW Gate

Figure 8-35 illustrates level-controlled opening and closing of the HW gate.
Pulses
DI-Start Mesasurement Opening of the gate Figure 8-35 Closing of the gate
Level-controlled opening and closing of the HW gate
The HW gate is opened and the measurement is started by setting the digital input Start DI. The HW gate is closed and the measurement is ended by resetting the digital input Start DI. The measured value at the time the HW gate is closed is retained at the feedback interface. The level-controlled HW gate takes effect at the first positive edge at the Start DI after the parameter assignment. With this parameter assignment, the Stop DI input is not evaluated. It is merely displayed in the status bit STS_STP.
8-62
Edge-Controlled Opening and Closing of the HW Gate

Figure 8-36 illustrates edge-controlled opening and closing of the HW gate.
Pulses DI-Start DI-Start Mesasurement Opening of the gate Figure 8-36 Closing of the gate
Edge-controlled opening and closing of the HW gate
The HW gate is opened and the measurement is started by a positive edge at the digital input Start DI. The HW gate is closed and the measurement is ended by a positive edge at the digital input Stop DI. The measured value at the time the HW gate is closed is retained at the feedback interface. If there are positive edges at both inputs at the same time, an open gate is closed or a closed gate remains closed. If the Stop DI digital input is set, a positive edge at the Start DI digital input cannot open the gate.
Status of the Start DI and Stop DI Inputs

The statuses of the Start DI and Stop DI inputs is displayed by the green LEDs I0 and I1 and in the user program by the STS_STA and STS_STP bits of the DB of the CNT_CTL1 function.
Status of the Gate

The status of the gate is displayed in the STS_GATE bit in the user program.

Figure 8-37
Level-controlled opening and closing of the SW gate
The SW gate is opened and the measurement is started by setting the SW_GATE input parameter of the CNT_CTL1 function. The SW gate is closed and the measurement is ended by resetting SW_GATE. The measured value at the time the SW gate is closed is retained at the feedback interface. The closed gate can be reopened by resetting the SW_GATE input parameter. Edge-controlled opening and closing of the SW gate is not possible.
Status of the SW Gate

The status of the SW gate is indicated by the STS_SW_G bit of the DB for the CNT_CTL1 function.
Ending the Measurement with the Gate Stop Function

You can also use the Gate Stop function to end the measurement regardless of the signals applied or the status of the SW gate by setting the GATE_STP input parameter of the CNT_CTL1 function. If you reset this parameter, you cannot open the gate again until a positive edge is present at the Start DI digital input (HW gate) or until the SW_GATE input parameter is set again.
Hardware Interrupt
Opening and closing a gate (HW or SW gate) may be used to trigger a hardware interrupt (see section 8.5).
Default Setting
The SW gate is active by default.
8-64
Gate Control in Isochrone Mode

Gate control with the SW gate: For control with the SW gate, you set and reset the SW_GATE control bit in the user program. The measuring process then starts and ends at the time Ti in the next PROFIBUS DP cycle after the control bit is changed (Figure 8-38).

Behavior of the Digital Outputs
Introduction
You can store an upper and a lower limit value for the frequency measurement, RPM measurement or continuous periodic measurement. This will be activated when digital output DO0 is exceeded. You can set these limit values and modify them via the load function. You can use digital output DO1 as a normal digital output.
Enabling Output Parameters

Before you can activate the outputs, you must first enable them by setting the appropriate bits in the DB (see Chapter 10). When you reset one of these bits, the associated output is switched off immediately.
Output DO0 DO1 is enabled by enable bit CTRL_DO0 CTRL_DO1
8-66
Behavior of Digital Output DO0

For digital output DO0, you can set 4 possible reactions to reaching the limit values. The various options are shown in the table below.
Table 8-14 Behavior of digital output DO0 Behavior of digital output DO0 Switching time Isochrone mode Non-isochrone mode
Parameter assignments for digital output DO0 No comparison
Not affected by the monitoring of limit values. If output DO0 is already set, it can be reset by changing the parameter to No comparison. You can use output DO0 freely as a digital output and set and reset it with the control signal SET_DO0 if you have enabled it with the control signal CTRL_DO0. At time To Immediately after setting or resetting the output
Exceeds limits
DO0 is set in both of the following cases:
Measured value < Lower limit Measured value > Upper limit
Under lower limit DO0 is set if
Measured value < Lower limit

Above upper limit DO0 is set if
At the end of the update time at time Ti
At the end of the update time
Measured value > Upper limit
Behavior of Digital Output DO1

You can use output DO1 freely as a digital output and set and reset it with the control signal SET_DO1, provided that it has been enabled. DO1 is not affected by limit value monitoring. In non-isochrone mode, DO1 switches immediately after the output is set or reset. In isochrone mode, DO1 switches at the end of the update time at time To.

Initiating a Process Interrupt
Introduction
With the FM 350-1, you can set which events are to initiate a process interrupt. For this purpose, parameterize the FM 350-1 interrupts in the parameter assignment screen forms.
What is a Process Interrupt

If you want to program a response to a specific event independently of the CPU cycle, each counter of the FM 350-1 can initiate a process interrupt. The CPU interrupts the cyclic program on receiving the interrupts and executes the process interrupt OB.
Which Events Can Initiate a Process Interrupt?

The following events during operation of the FM 350-1 can initiate a process interrupt:
Count modes Measure modes
Opening of the gate (in the operating modes with hardware or software gate) Closing of the gate (in the operating modes with hardware or software gate) Overflow Underflow Zero pass Reaching comparison value 1 or 2 in the up direction Reaching comparison value 1 or 2 in the down direction Setting the counter with an external signal Latch Measured value outside limits End of measurement
You can select any number of events for process interrupt initiation. For process interrupts on reaching the comparison value, you must observe the marginal conditions on page 8-34.
Enabling the Process Interrupt

You enable the interrupts for the module in the parameter assignment screen forms when configuring the hardware and you decide whether the module is to initiate a diagnostics interrupt and/or a process interrupt.
8-69
Process Interrupt OB, OB 40

If a process interrupt occurs, the user program is interrupted, the data is transferred from the module to the start information of OB40 and OB40 is called. The process interrupt is acknowledged by exiting OB40. If there is no OB40 programmed, the CPU goes to STOP. If you then switch back to RUN, the process interrupt requirements are deleted.
Start Information
The temporary variable OB40_POINT_ADDR is written in the start information of OB40. The variable OB40_POINT_ADDR (bytes 8 to 11) consists of four bytes. The information concerning the event that has initiated the process interrupt is entered in bytes 8 and 9. Table 8-17 shows which bits are set for which interrupt. All unlisted bits are not significant and are set to zero.
Table 8-17 Byte 8 Assignment of the bits of the variable OB40_POINT_ADDR Bit 0 1 2 Meaning: Interrupt in the Case of... Opening the gate Closing the gate Overflow (Count mode) Measured value outside limits (Measure mode) 3 Underflow (Count mode) End of measurement (Measure mode) 4 5 6 7 9 0 5 7 Reaching comparison value 1 in the up direction Reaching comparison value 1 in the down direction Reaching comparison value 2 in the up direction Reaching comparison value 2 in the down direction Zero pass Sets the counter with an external signal (synchronization) Latch
Lost Process Interrupt

If an event occurs that is to initiate a process interrupt and the same previous event has not yet been acknowledged, no further process interrupt is initiated; the process interrupt is lost. This may lead to the Hardware interrupt lost diagnostic interrupt, depending on the parameter assignments.
Default Setting
No process interrupt is parameterized in the default setting.

Encoder Signals and Their Evaluation
This Chapter... This chapter describes the following: The encoders you can connect to the counters of the FM 350-1. The time sequence of the signals of the different encoders. How the FM 350-1 can perform multiple evaluations of the encoder signals. How the module monitors the different encoder signals. The signals for which you can parameterize input filters.

Overview
Introduction The count signals that the FM 350-1 can process are rectangular signals generated either by incremental encoders or by signal encoders. Incremental encoders scan a grating and so generate rectangular electrical pulses. They differ in pulse height and in the number of signals. Pulse encoders such as light barriers or initiators (BEROs) supply only a rectangular signal with a specific voltage level.
Connecting Different Encoders You can connect different encoders to the FM 350-1 for supplying the pulses for the count signals. Table 9-1 gives an overview of the different encoders and the corresponding signals.
Table 9-1 Encoders for the FM 350-1 Encoder Incremental 5 V encoder Incremental 24 V encoder 24 V pulse encoder 24 V initiator Signal Differential signals A/A, B/B and N/N A*, B* and N* 24 V with direction level 24 V without direction level

9.2
5 V Differential Signals
Incremental 5 V Encoder The incremental 5 V encoder supplies the differential signals A/A, B/B and N/N to the module in accordance with RS 422, where the signals A, B and N are the inverted signals of A, B and N. The signals A and B are phase-shifted by 90 each. In the case of the incremental 5 V encoder, tracks A and B are used for counting. Track N is used for setting the counter to the load value if parameterized accordingly. Encoders with these six signals are known as symmetric encoders. Figure 9-1 shows the time sequence of these signals.
Signal A Signal A Signal B Signal B Signal N Signal N Direction of count Figure 9-1 Up Down
Signals of the Incremental 5 V encoder
The module recognizes the direction of count from the ratio of signal A to B. The figures in the next section (Pulse Evaluation) show which edges of signals A and B are counted in the down or up direction.
Changing the Count Direction You can change the count direction with the parameter Count direction normal and Count direction inverted without changing the wiring.
9-3
How are the Signals Monitored? The module monitors for cable connection and for wirebreak or short-circuit. Via parameterization, you can determine which of the three signal pairs are monitored. You therefore need not wire unused signals if diagnostics for this signal pair has been switched off via parameterization (set counter with zero mark). If all three signals report errors, either the encoder is defective, there is a short-circuit in the 5.2 VDC encoder supply or there is no encoder connected. If the module detects an error after you have assigned your parameters, an entry is made in the diagnostics data sets DS0 and DS1. This can result in a diagnostics interrupt if the relevant parameters have been assigned.
Coding Connector For this encoder, you must set the coding connector to position A.
9-4
9.3
24 V Signals
24 V Incremental Encoder The incremental 24 V encoder supplies the signals A*, B* and N* in the same time ratio as the signals A, B and N in the case of the 5 V incremental encoder. Signals with a voltage of 24 V are indicated with an asterisk (*). The signals A* and B* are phase-shifted by 90 each. Encoders that do not supply inverse signals are known as asymmetric encoders. In the case of the inputs of 24 V encoder signals, you decide via parameterization whether you connect source outputs or sink outputs to the counters. See the encoder description for further information on this point. You can change the count direction with the parameter Count direction normal and Count direction inverted without changing the wiring.
24 V Pulse Encoder Without/With Direction Level The encoder, for example an initiator (BERO) or a light barrier, supplies only one count signal that must be connected to terminal A* of the front connector. Additionally to this, you can connect a signal for direction detection to terminal B* of the affected counter. If your encoder does not supply a corresponding signal, you can generate and connect a corresponding ID within the S7 or you can use a corresponding process signal. Figure 9-2 shows the sequence over time of the signals of a 24 V pulse encoder with direction level and the resulting count pulses.

Parameterization of the Encoder Inputs

The count direction is defined via the parameterization of the encoder inputs. Table 9-2 shows the count direction changes in dependence on the parameterization.
Table 9-2 Count Direction in Dependence on the Input Parameterization Terminal B* Unswitched 24 V connected Current sinking Unswitched Short-circuited to ground Up Down Down Up Count Direction
Input Parameterization Current sourcing
For parameterization, select 24 V pulse and direction for the encoder selection. Changing direction by inverting the B* signal is not possible with these count signals. Note With this type of evaluation, the count value in the case of an oscillating count signal can run away at the edge since all the signals are added together.
Input Filters for 24 V Count Inputs To suppress interference, you can parameterize input filters with a uniform filter time for the 24 V inputs A*, B* and N* and for the digital inputs. The following input filters are available:
Table 9-3 Input Filters Features Typical input delay Maximum count frequency Minimum pulse width of the count signals Input Filter 1 (Default) 1 ms 200 kHz 2.5 ms Input Filter 2 15 ms 20 kHz 25 ms
How are the Signals Monitored? 24 V count signals are not monitored for wirebreak or short-circuit.
Coding Connector For this encoder, you must set the coding connector to position B.

9.4
Pulse Evaluation
Introduction The counters of the FM 350-1 can count the edges of the signals. Normally, the edge at A (A*) is evaluated (single evaluation). To achieve a higher resolution, you can decide via parameterization whether the signals are to have single, double or quadruple evaluation. Multiple evaluation is only possible in the case of incremental 5 V encoders with signals A and B displaced by 90, or in the case of incremental 24 V encoders with signals A* and B* displaced by 90.
Single Evaluation Single evaluation means that only one edge of A is evaluated; up count pulses are captured on a rising edge of A and low level at B, and down count pulses are captured on a falling edge of A and low level at B. Figure 9-3 shows single evaluation of the signals.
Signal A (A*) Signal B (B*) Up count pulses Down count pulses
Up Single Evaluation
Down
Figure 9-3
9-7
Double Evaluation Double evaluation means that the rising and falling edge of signal A are evaluated; whether up or down count pulses are generated depends on the level of signal B. Figure 9-4 shows double evaluation of the signals.

Quadruple Evaluation Quadruple evaluation means that the rising and falling edges of A and B are evaluated; whether up or down count pulses are generated, depends on the levels of signals A and B. Figure 9-5 shows quadruple evaluation of signals.

Description
See Also Function: M7CntInit, M7CntEnableSet

Parameter Meaning LogChannel SelSetUp SelSetDn Logical channel number, detected by M7CntInit Disable SET input for up count direction Disable SET input for down count direction
The SET digital input for setting each counter channel is disabled with this function. The two bits SelSetUp (up) and SelSetDn (down) determine for which count direction the SET input is to be disabled. To implement the disable function, the desired bit must be set (= TRUE) when the function is called. Both count directions can also be disabled with just one function call (SelSetUp = TRUE and SelSetDn = TRUE). If the bit of a count direction = FALSE, the status of the SET input is not changed: an enabled SET input remains enabled and a disabled SET input remains disabled. Default: the SET input is disabled in both directions.

Function
M7CntEnableSet
Enable SET input Syntax #include <m7cnt.h> M7ERR_CODE M7CntEnableSet( M7CNT_LOGCHANNEL LogChannel, BOOL SelSetUp, BOOL SelSetDn)
Description

Parameter Meaning LogChannel SelSetUp SelSetDn Logical channel number, detected by M7CntInit Enable SET input for up count direction Enable SET input for down count direction
The SET digital input for setting the counter channel in each case is enabled with this function. The two bits SelSetUp (up) and SelSetDn (down) determine for which count direction the SET input is to be enabled. To implement the enable function, the desired bit must be set (= TRUE) when the function is called. Both count directions can also be enabled with just one function call (SelSetUp = TRUE and SelSetDn = TRUE). If the bit of a count direction = FALSE, the status of the SET input is not changed: an enabled SET input remains enabled and a disabled SET input remains disabled. The actual setting of the counter channel is carried out, depending on parameterization, either with the rising edge at the SET input or with the zero mark signal with simultaneously active SET signal. Default: the SET input is disabled in both directions.

M7CntLoadAndStart
Function Load and start counter channel (for operating modes with software gate control)
Syntax #include <m7cnt.h> M7ERR_CODE M7CntLoadAndStart( M7CNT_LOGCHANNEL LogChannel, DWORD LoadVal);
Description

Parameter Meaning LogChannel LoadVal Logical channel number, detected by M7CntInit Load value
The function transfers the load value specified at the time of calling direct to the counter channel. Thereafter, the counter channel is started via the software gate. The function only works error-free in the counter operating modes with software gate control. In the operating modes with hardware gate control, an operating error is signaled but the load value is transferred anyway. In the case of the operating modes with hardware gate control, use the M7CntLoadDirect or M7CntLoadPrep functions to load the counter channel. Default: the counter channel is preset with 0 and stopped.
Note The load value is interpreted depending on the count mode set for the counter channel. Please ensure that the load value specified is within the count range.
11-9
Error Code Meaning The counter channel cannot be started in this operating mode (with hardware gate control). The channel specified when calling (LogChannel parameter) is not valid.

Description

Parameter Meaning LogChannel CmpV1 CmpV2 Logical channel number, detected by M7CntInit Comparison value 1 Comparison value 2 SelCmp1 SelCmp2 Selection bit for comparison value 1 Selection bit for comparison value 2
You can transfer the two comparison values CmpV1 and CmpV2 to the counter channel in each case using this function. The selection bits SelCmp1 and SelCmp2 determine whether the associated comparison value is to be transferred (SelCmpx = TRUE) or not (SelCmpx = FALSE). - If SelCmp1 = TRUE and SelCmp2 = TRUE, both comparison values can also be transferred simultaneously in one function call. If one selection bit is FALSE, the associated comparison value will not be transferred and the old value is retained. Default setting: The comparison values are set to 0 as default.
11-11
Note The comparison values are interpreted in accordance with the count mode set for the counter channel. Please ensure that the comparsion values specified are within the count range.
See Also Function: M7CntInit
Example #include M7CNT.H M7CNT_LOGCHANNEL DWORD DWORD Ch5; CmpValue1=100; CmpValue2=200;

11.8
M7CntLoadDirect
Function Load Counter Channel
Syntax #include <m7cnt.h> M7ERR_CODE M7CntLoadDirect( M7CNT_LOGCHANNEL LogChannel, DWORD LoadVal);
Description

The function transfers the load value (LoadVal) specified when the call was made, direct to the counter channel in each case. The function is also executed while the counter channel is operating. Default: the counter channel is set to 0 and stopped as default.
Note The load value is interpreted in accordance with the count mode set for the counter channel. Please ensure that the load value specified is within the count range.
11-13
See Also Function: M7CntInit, M7CntLoadAndStart, M7CntLoadPrep, M7CntReadLoadValue

11.9
Function
M7CntLoadPrep
Prepare Loading of the Counter Channel Syntax #include <m7cnt.h> M7ERR_CODE M7CntLoadPrep( M7CNT_LOGCHANNEL LogChannel, DWORD LoadVal);
Description

The function transfers the load value (LoadVal) specified when the call was made, into the counter-internal load register. From there, the load value is transferred into the counter channel and counted further from there if: a hardware pulse is present at the SET or START input an overflow or an underflow occurs (and a periodic operating mode is set) the M7CntStart function is called
Note The load value is interpreted in accordance with the count mode set for the counter channel. Please ensure that the load value specified is within the count range of the count mode set.
You can then read the current load value with the M7CntReadLoadValue function. However, the function only supplies the new load value when one of the three conditions has occurred and one count pulse has been received.

Description

Parameter Meaning LogChannel pCntParam Logical channel number, detected by M7CntInit Pointer to the structure M7CNT_PARAM with the parameterization data
The function is called if the current parameters of the counter channel are to be changed. Before calling the function, you must enter the desired parameterization data in the M7CNT_PARAM structure. After this, the function is called to parameterize the counter channel specified. The new settings become effective immediately.
Note When the M7CntPar function is called, the current parameterization data are always completely overwritten and part parameterizations cannot be made.
When the M7CntPar function is called, the current parameterization data are always completely overwritten and part parameterizations cannot be made. Any previously stored enable of the inputs or outputs will also be lost as a result of reparameterization. This means that the M7CntEnableSet or M7CntEnableOut functions, for example, may need to be called again after M7CntPar Reparameterization overwrites already set comparison values and the load value. In addition, counter pulses may be lost when reparameterizing with the M7CntPar function. In the FM 450-1, the other channel remains unaffected by reparameterization. Errors in parameter assignment result in initiation of a diagnostics interrupt.

Faults and Diagnostics
12
Chapter Overview Operator errors, incorrect wiring or contradictory parameterization (position of the coding connector does not match parameterization) can cause faults that the module must indicate to the user. Faults are divided into the following classes on the module: Faults displayed by the group error LED that indicate internal and external module faults. Faults that can initiate a diagnostics interrupt. Operator errors. These different classes of faults are indicated and displayed at different positions and must be acknowledged in different ways. You will find the following described in this chapter: The faults that can occur Where these faults are indicated How you acknowledge the faults.
Section 12.1 12.2 12.3 12.4 Description Fault Indication via the Group Error LED Initiation of Diagnostics Interrupts Data Errors Operator Errors Page 12-2 12-3 12-7 12-9
12-1
12.1
Fault Indication via the Group Error LED
Where is the Fault Indicated? If the red group error LED lights up, a fault has occurred either on the module (internal fault) or at the cable connections (external fault).
Which Faults are Indicated? The following faults are indicated by the group error LED lighting up:
Type of Fault/LED Internal faults
Cause of Fault Fault in EPROM TEST Fault in RAM TEST Watchdog tripped Lost process interrupt Module parameterization missing
Remedy Change module Change module Change module Increase time between the interrupt causes Assign parameters and transfer Correct the position of the coding connector Correct connection
External faults
Coding connector wrongly connected Auxiliary voltage 1L+/1M not connected or 24 VDC encoder supply short-circuited 5.2 VDC encoder supply short-circuited or overloaded Fault in 5 V encoder signals (wirebreak, short-circuit, cable missing) Module parameterization does not match the position of the coding connector
Correct connection Correct connection
Correct parameterization and transfer, or reconnect the coding connector
Initiating a Diagnostics Interrupt All faults except the EPROM test fault, can initiate a diagnostics interrupt provided you have enabled the diagnostics interrupt in the relevant parameter assignment screen form. You can see which fault has caused the LED to light up from the diagnostics data sets DS0 and DS1. The assignments of the diagnostics data sets DS0 and DS1 are described in the next section.
12-2
12.2
Initiation of Diagnostics Interrupts
What is a Diagnostics Interrupt? If a user program is to respond to an internal or external fault, you can parameterize a diagnostics interrupt that stops the cyclical program of the CPU and calls the diagnostics interrupt OB (OB82).
Which Events Can Initiate a Diagnostics Interrupt? The list shows you which events can initiate a diagnostics interrupt: External auxiliary voltage 1L+/1M short-circuited or overloaded Fault in 5.2 VDC encoder supply Module parameterization missing Error in module parameterization Watchdog tripped RAM defective Process interrupt lost Fault in signal A (wirebreak, short-circuit, cable missing) Fault in signal B (wirebreak, short-circuit, cable missing) Fault in signal N (wirebreak, short-circuit, cable missing)
Enabling the Diagnostics Interrupt You disable or enable the interrupts for the module in the parameter assignment screen forms and you decide there whether the module is to initiate a diagnostics interrupt and/or a process interrupt.
Responses to a Diagnostics Interrupt If an event occurs that can initiate a diagnostics interrupt, the following happens: The diagnostics information is stored in diagnostics data sets DS0 and DS1. The group error LED lights up The diagnostics interrupt OB is called (OB82). The diagnostics data set DS0 is entered in the start information of the diagnostics interrupt OB. The count continues unchanged. If OB82 has not been programmed, the CPU goes to STOP.
12-3
Diagnostics Data Set DS0 and DS1 The information as to which event has initiated a diagnostics interrupt is stored in the diagnostics data sets DS0 and DS1. The diagnostics data set DS0 comprises four bytes; DS1 comprises 16 bytes with the first four bytes being identical to DS0.
Reading the Data Set from the Module The diagnostics data set DS0 is automatically transferred to the start information when the diagnostics OB is called.These four bytes are stored there in the local date (bytes 8 to 11) of OB82. You can read out diagnostics data set DS1 (and so also the contents of DS 0) from the module with the FC DIAG_INF. It only makes sense to do this, if a fault in a channel is signaled in DS0.
Assignments of the Diagnostics Data Set DS0 in the Start Information Table 12-1 shows the assignments of diagnostics data set DS0 in the start information. All unlisted bits are insignificant and take the value zero.

Diagnostics Data Set DS1 The diagnostics data set DS1 consists of 16 bytes. The first 4 bytes are identical with diagnostics data set DS0. Table 12-2 shows the assignments of the remaining bytes. All unlisted bits are insignificant and take the value zero. This data set is entered in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL1 from DW54 by the FC DIAG_INF.

12-5
How Does the Diagnostics Text Appear in the Diagnostics Buffer? If you want to enter the diagnostics message in the diagnostics buffer, you must call the SFC 52 Enter user-specific message in diagnostics buffer in the user program. The event number of the diagnostics message in each case is specified in the input parameter EVENTN. The interrupt is entered in the diagnostics buffer with x=1 as incoming and with x=0 as outgoing. The diagnostics buffer contains the relevant diagnostics text in the Meaning column as well as the time of the entry.
Default Setting The diagnostics interrupt is disabled in the default setting.

12.3
Data Errors
When Do Data Errors Occur? If new parameters are transferred to the module, the FM 350 checks these parameters. If errors occur during this check, the module signals these data errors Wrong parameters are not accepted by the module.
Where are Data Errors Indicated? The FC CNT_CTL1 enters the data errors with their error numbers in the DB of the FC CNT_CTL1. You can access this data word in the user program via variable identifier DA_ERR_W. Table 12-3 shows the number of the data errors and the meaning of these errors.

12.4
Operator Errors
When Do Operator Errors Occur? Operator errors occur when you operate the module wrongly by setting incorrect control signals.
Where are the Operator Errors Indicated? The operator error numbers are entered in DB by the FC CNT_CTL1. When the output parameter OT_ERR is set, FC_CNT_CTL1 indicates that an operation error has occured. You can access this data word in your program via the variable identifier OT_ERR_B

Configuration
Assignment of modules to racks, slots and addresses. For configuration of the hardware, the user fills in a configuration table in STEP 7.
Double evaluation
Double evaluation means that on an incremental encoder the rising pulse edges of pulse series A and B are evaluated.
Encoder
Encoders are used for the accurate detection of square-wave signals, paths, positions, velocities, operating speeds, grounds, etc.
Encoders with asymmetrical output signals

Encoders with asymmetrical output signals supply two pulse series with phase quadrature and, possibly, a zero mark signal.
Encoders with symmetrical output signals

Encoders with symmetrical output signals supply two pulse series with phase quadrature, perhaps a zero mark signal, and the associated inverted signals.
Function (FC)
A function (FC), as defined in IEC 1131-3, is a code block without static data. A function features the option of transferring parameters in the user program. In this way, functions are suitable for programming frequently recurring complex functions.
Function module (FM)

A function module (FM) is a module which relieves the central processing unit (CPU) on programmable logic controllers S7 and M7 of time-critical tasks of process signal processing involving high memory requirements . FMs normally use the internal communication bus for a high-speed exchange of data with the CPU. Examples of FM usage are counting, positioning, and instrumentation and control.
Glossary-1
Glossary
Initiator
An initiator is a simple BERO proximity switch without directional information. It thus merely provides a count signal. In this instance, only the rising pulse edges of signal A are counted. The direction of counting must be specified by the user.

PushPull
The output of the encoder actively switches to 0 V (ground) and actively to +24 V.
Quadruple evaluation
Quadruple evaluation means that on an incremental encoder all the pulse edges of pulse series A and B are evaluated.
SFC

Single evaluation Single evaluation means that on an incremental encoder the rising pulse edge of pulse series A is evaluated.
Sink output
The output of the encoder actively switches to 0 V (ground).
Source output
The output of the encoder actively switches to +24 V.
