You can check that the sample is working correctly based on the variable table of the client. The variable table is contained in the Blocks folder of the STEP 7 project. Data being sent and received has continuously changing values (see also "Operator Control and Monitoring").

The WRITE function block is called. Using the WRITE job, 2 bytes of data (the memory word 4 of the client) is written to the memory area of the server (also memory (flag) word 4).

'HVFULSWLRQ RI WKH VHUYHU

At the server, it is only necessary to call the handling block for the communications processor.

After the WRITE job has been executed without error the READ function block is called. Using the READ job, 2 bytes of data (flag word 4 of the server) is read from the server. The client stores the data read in memory word 8.

At the server, the data to be used for the communication is specified in the symbol table, marked as a communication variable and assigned an index.

Once the READ job has been processed without error, the data to write is incremented by 1 and the write/read cycle begins again.

WRITE: First the client writes data to the memory area of the server by calling the WRITE function block (located in MW4). READ: By calling the READ function block, data is read from the server and stored by the client in MW8. Incrementing data: The value of the data to be written is incremented by 1 and the write/read cycle starts again.

In the PLC program of the server, the handling blocks "SEND ALL" (FB120) and "RECEIVE ALL" (FB121) are required for processing the received FMS READ/WRITE services.

SEND ALL is executed when the READ service is executed on the client. What is read is the server variable with the index 100, which references the S5 address, DB100, 0 (data block 100 word 0). RECEIVE ALL is executed when the WRITE service is executed on the client. What is written is the server variable with the index 100, which references the S5 address, DB100, 0 (data block 100 word 0).

In other words, the client writes and reads data block 100, word 0 on the server.

Then start the client program from the installation folder. Double-click on the file located there with the extension, .exe. Select the menu item "Write / Read" -> "Start".

1RWH The server must be started first because it provides the services for the client.
