Test and diagnostics of communication in the SIMATIC S5
To monitor the send/receive communication of scenario 3 in the SIMATIC S5-CPU,
call the watch table "BB33” in STEP 5.
The count value (3) is cyclically written in the S7-1500 CPU every second and the
mirrored incremented value is received again (4).
The communication and connection status of the handling blocks SEND (1) and
RECEIVE (2) can be evaluated via the indicator words (ANZW) of the HTBs.
A programmed OUC communication (via compact instruction) means that the
connection is established/disconnected and the data are received using the OUC
block TRCV_C via the user program.
However, the data are sent via the standard OUC block TSEND.
