Learning units
6. Confirm your settings with "OK".
The "Counting properties" dialog closes.

Note
The input and output address of the submodules "DI24/DO16", "AI5/02", "Counting" and
"Positioning" must be adapted for the example to function correctly.
Double-click the relevant line to adapt the submodule. A dialog opens. Select the
"Addresses" tab in each case. Deselect the "System default" checkboxes. Change the
addresses as follows:
DI24/DO16: Inputs: 124..126, Outputs: 124..125
AI5/AO2: Inputs: 752..761, Outputs: 752..755
Counting: Inputs: 768..783, Outputs:/768..783
Positioning: Inputs: 784..799, Outputs: 784..799
Confirm your settings with "OK".
7. Save your configuration to your project with "Station > Save and compile".
Your changes are now stored in your project.
8. When the CPU is in STOP, select "PLC > Download to module ..." to download the
configuration.
The data are now downloaded from the PG to the CPU.
9. Close HW Config with "Station > Close".
You are returned to SIMATIC Manager.

3.4 4. Step: Linking to the user program
3.4 4. Step: Linking to the user program
Procedure
1. Open the project "ZDt26_02_TF_____31xC_Cnt" in the catalog ...
\Siemens\STEP7\Examples via "File > Open ... > Sample projects" in SIMATIC Manager.
A window, divided into two sections, opens showing the title of the project.
2. Double-click on the S7 program "Count 1 First Steps".
The "Sources", "Blocks" and "Symbols" folders are displayed in the right-hand window.
3. Double-click on the "Blocks" container.
All blocks of the S7 program are displayed.
4. Copy all blocks from this folder to your project under "SIMATIC 300 Station > CPU 3xx >
S7 Program > Blocks".

Block Name (in the toolbar) Description
OB 1 CYCLE_EXC Cyclic program
FB 11 GETST_C Example 1: COUNT, first steps
DB 11 DI_GETST_C Instance DB for GETST_C
SFB 47 COUNT SFB COUNT
DB 16 DI_COUNT Instance DB for SFB COUNT
VAT VAT_GETST_C Variable table
5. Copy the symbol table to your project under "SIMATIC 300 Station > CPU3 xx > S7
Program".
The symbol table is stored in your project.
6. In SIMATIC Manager, select "SIMATIC 300 Station > CPU 3xx > S7 Program > Blocks".
All blocks of the S7 program are displayed.
7. Download all of the S7 blocks it contains to your CPU via "PLC > Download" (CPU in
STOP mode).
The program and configuration are downloaded from the PG to the CPU.
Learning units
3.5 5. Step: Trial run
Procedure
1. In the "Function blocks" directory, double-click on the variable table "VAT_GETST_C" in
your project.
The variable table for monitoring and modifying is displayed.
2. Go online with "PLC > Connect to > Configured CPU".
At the bottom right, you will see that the CPU is set to "STOP" mode.
3. Activate monitoring with "Variable > Monitor".
The current values of the addresses are displayed in the "Status Value" column.
4. Switch the CPU to RUN.
At the bottom right, you will see that the CPU is set to "RUN" mode.
5. In the variable S_IMP_H of the VAT, select the count pulse source:
S_IMP_H = 0:
The pulse source is a programmed SW clock generator. Its frequency is adjustable via
the T_PULSE variable. The clock is connected to the pulse input via a digital output.
S_IMP_H = 1:
Specify the count pulses by manually setting and resetting the S_IMP_T variable in the
VAT.
6. You can perform the following tests:

Starting/stopping the counter:
Start the counter by setting the variables
SW_GATE (SFB parameter SW gate) and
S_HWT (simulation of HW gate) in the VAT
to 1 (logical AND).
Stop the counter by resetting S_HWT or
SW_GATE to zero.
You can monitor the actual counter value at the
SFB output parameter COUNTVAL. You can
view the status of the SW or HW gate in the
variables STS_GATE or STS_STRT.
Loading a count value to the counter:
JOB_ID = 01 hex ("Write counter directly")
JOB_VAL = Count value (-231 to +231-1)
JOB_REQ = 1, Job initiates with positive
edge
You can view the loaded count value at the
SFB output parameter COUNTVAL. If no load
error has occurred, the status at the output
parameters is JOB_DONE = 1 and
JOB_ERROR = 0.

Diagnostics/Correction of Errors
Incorrect operator input, faulty wiring or inconsistent configuration data may lead to errors.
For information on how to analyze such errors and messages, refer to the S7-300
documentation.
Example:
The "ZEn26_02_TF_____31xC_Cnt" project contains further samples you can use for
orientation. You can customize all samples according to your personal applications.
