Safety Guidelines
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger. Danger indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken. Warning indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken. Caution with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken. Caution without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken. Notice indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into account. If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property damage.

Introduction
Contents of this Getting Started Manual

The sample in this Getting Started manual takes you through five steps, showing you how to commission a fully functional counter application. You are going to familiarize yourself with the basic hardware and software functions and learn how to operate the counting function. The references to the manual will also help you to get a general overview of the information it contains. Additional notes relating to the frequency-measurement and pulse-widthmodulation applications are found on the sample project CD. This process will take 1 to 2 hours, depending on your experience.

3.1 1. Step: Wiring the power supply and CPU
Warning

You can come into contact with live wires if the PS 307 power supply module is turned on or the power supply cable to the PS is connected to the main power supply. Perform any wiring work on the S7-300 only when the power is off!

Procedure
1. Fit the front connector to the CPU and tighten the securing screws. 2. Wire the connections for the "Count 1 First Steps" sample project as follows:

3.3
Procedure

3. Step: Setting parameters

1. Open your project in SIMATIC Manager. A window, divided into two parts, opens with the title of your project. 2. In your project, call the configuration table HW Config.

3. Double-click on the submodule "Counting". The "Counting properties" dialog opens. 4. Select channel 0 and "Infinite count" mode. Make the following settings in the parameter assignment screen forms (do not modify any other settings, as they are not required for commissioning): Input: Hardware gate Output reaction: Counter value Comparison value 5. Confirm your settings with "OK". The "Counting properties" dialog closes. 6. Save your configuration to your project with "Station > Save and compile". Your changes are now stored in your project. 7. When the CPU is in STOP, select "PLC > Load to module..." to download the configuration. The data are now downloaded from the PG to the CPU. 8. Close HW Config with "Station > Close". You are returned to SIMATIC Manager.

Procedure

4. Step: Linking to the user program

1. Open the project "ZEn26_02_TF_____31xC_Cnt" in the catalog \Siemens\STEP7\Examples via "File > Open... > Sample projects" in SIMATIC Manager. A two-part window opens showing the title of the project. 2. Double-click on the S7 program "Count 1 First Steps". In the right-hand window, you can see the "Sources", "Blocks" and "Symbols" folders. 3. Double-click on the "Blocks" container. This displays all the blocks of the S7 program. 4. Copy all the blocks from this folder to your project in "SIMATIC 300 Station > CPU3xx > S7 Program > Blocks".

3.5
Procedure

5. Step: Trial run

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. JOB_ID = 01 hex ("Write counter directly") JOB_VAL = Count value (-231 to +231-1) JOB_REQ = 1, Job initiates at the positive edge 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: 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.
