4.1 Freely configuring the FM 458-1 DP application module
The following software components are required to configure
the FM 458-1 DP application module:
Components Function (for FM 458-1 DP)
STEP 7 (from V5.2) General project management and hardware
configuration
CFC Graphic Editor
D7-SYS (from V6.0) Operating system, compiler, function block library
COM-PROFIBUS Supplementary software, if EXM 448 is to be
configured as master.
Detail informations: refer to www.siemens.com/fm458
Control related functions can be extremely easily configured using the
graphic configuring interface CFC (Continuos Function Chart). A
programming language does not have to be learned.
Function blocks are taken from a library comprising approximately 250
function blocks, and placed on a page using simple drag and drop.
The block I/Os are connected with one another by clicking on an output
and an input.
For inputs, which are assigned a fixed value and which are not
connected, the value is specified in a parameterizing dialog box.
The configured software thus generated is compiled by the graphic
configuring interface CFC and downloaded into the FM 458-1 DP
application module.
NOTE
Please refer to the appropriate SIMATIC S7 Documentation and the
online help of the programs for information on installation and mode of
operation of STEP 7 and CFC.
Using the D7-SYS supplementary software, detailed procedures and
instructions are provided in the appropriate SIMADYN D User
Documentation "D7-SYS“.
