3.11 DUST7 coupling 
3.11.1 General 
The DUST7 coupling is a basic, serial point-to-point connection. The 
communication utilities, process data and message system, can use the 
DUST7 coupling. 
The main use of the DUST7 coupling is: 
•  to transfer process data to devices with basic serial interfaces or PCs 
with the customers own applications, or  
•  to output messages on simple terminals. 
In addition to the pure net data, an optional configurable end of telegram 
with maximum 2 characters is transferred. If an end of telegram has not 
been configured, then the end of telegram is identified by an interval time 
of 4 character times. 
3.11.2 Hardware 
The following hardware is required for the DUST7 coupling: 
•  Subrack 
•  CPU 
•  CS7 module with SS4 communications module (this must also be 
configured in HWConfig) 
An RS232 interface is used which can also be changed over to 20 mA or 
RS485 by inserting an SS2 or SS3 interface module. 
3.11.3 Configuring 
The @CSD07 central coupling block must be configured. The character 
frame and the end of telegram can be configured at its initialization 
inputs. 
Further information 
on the @CSD07 central block, refer to the User Documentation 
"SIMADYN D, function block library". 
A maximum of one transmit block and one receive block (CTV and CRV) 
may be configured. Only a channel name must be specified as address 
parameter (AT-, AR input). The channel name must be different for the 
transmitter and receiver. 
One or several message output blocks (MSIPRI) can be configured. If 
several message output blocks are configured, then their channel names 
must be identical ("Select" data transfer mode).
