Communications configuring 
 
3-94  System- and communication configuring D7-SYS - SIMADYN D 
  Edition 12.2003 
 
NOTE 
The SIMADYN D name syntax allows an external client to obtain a listing 
of the utilities configured in SIMADYN D using the FMS utility "Get OV". 
In this case, the client not only receives information about the structure of 
the objects, but also information on how these objects are to be handled.
 
3.7.3 SIMADYN D communications utility 
The communications utilities, process data and message system, are 
realized, independent of the configuring on the FMS utilities "Read", 
"Write" or "Information report". 
3.7.3.1 Process data 
Process data are transferred via PROFIBUS FMS using Read, Write or 
Information report. In this case, SIMADYN D can be both server as well 
as client. Process data have a specific structure which is open as far as 
PROFIBUS is concerned. 
•  The channel name is specified at address connection AR of the 
receive block. A remote client can execute the FMS utilities "Get OV" 
and "Write" on this object.  
•  The channel name is specified at address connection AT of the 
transmit block. A remote client can execute the FMS utilities "Get OV" 
and "Read" on this object. 
•  The SIMADYN D utility ID at the end of the object name is "P". 
Address example 
1.  Subrack "BGT1", CPU No. 3, function block CRV is to be configured: 
−  AR- 'PZDWRITE' 
−  the object name is derived from this: PZDWRITEBGT1__3P 
−  the object can be written into. 
2.  Subrack "BGT1", CPU No. 3, function block CTV is to be configured: 
−  AT- '6050' 
−  thus, the object is saved under FMS index 6050 and can be 
addressed. 
−  the object can be read. 
•  The channel name, address stage 1 and address stage 2 are 
specified at connection AT of the transmit block. The object must be 
available in the object directory of the communications partner. 
SIMADYN D executes the FMS utility "Get OV" (optional) and "Write" 
on the remote object.
