Detailed Description
2.4 Starting up the PLC program
PLC Basic Program Solution Line (P3 sl)
2-12 Function Manual, 08/2005 Edition, 6FC5397-0BP10-0BA0
Procedure
The basic-program blocks are copied using the SIMATIC Manager and File/Open/Library.
The following components must be copied from the library:
• From the block container: FCs, FBs, DBs, OBs, SFC, SFB, UDT
• Source_files (from the source container): GPOB840D
• Possibly MDECLIST, HHU_DB and others
• The symbols table (from the symbols container)
Compatibility with STEP 7
There are no dependencies between the basic program and current STEP7 versions.
2.4.3 Version codes
Basic program
The version of the basic program is displayed on the HMI version screen along with the
controller type.
The controller type is encoded as follows:
Left-aligned decade of DB17.DBD0 (byte 0) Controller type
02 SINUMERIK 810D
03 SINUMERIK 840D (561,571, 572, 573)
04 SINUMERIK 840Di
03 SINUMERIK 840D sl (710, 720, 730)
User program
Users can also display their own PLC version codes on the HMI version screen. For this
purpose, a data of type STRING containing a maximum of 54 characters must be defined in
any data block. The data can contain a text of the user's choice. Parameter assignments for
this string are made via a pointer in FB1. Parameterization requires symbolic definition of the
data block. See the FB1 block description for more information.
