8.4 Operating modes of the CPU

Points to note
● All outputs are disabled or react according to the parameter settings for the respective
module: They provide a substitute value as set in the parameters or retain the last value
output and bring the controlled process to a safe operating mode.
● The process image is initialized.
● The process image is not updated.
To read the current state of inputs during STARTUP, you can access inputs with direct
I/O access.
To initialize outputs during STARTUP, you can write values via the process image or with
direct I/O access. The CPU outputs the values at the outputs during the transition to the
RUN mode.
● The CPU always starts up in a warm restart.
– The non-retentive bit memories, timers and counters are initialized.
– The non-retentive tags in data blocks are initialized.
● During startup, no cycle time monitoring is running yet.
● The CPU processes the startup OBs in the order of the startup OB numbers. The CPU
processes all programmed startup OBs regardless of the selected startup type (Figure
"Setting the startup behavior).
● If a corresponding event occurs, the CPU can start the following OBs in startup:
– OB 82: Diagnostics interrupt
– OB 83: Removal/insertion of modules
– OB 86: Rack error
– OB 121: Programming error (only for global error handling)
– OB 122: I/O access error (only for global error handling)
You can a description of the use of global and local error handling in the STEP 7
online help.
The CPU does not start all other OBs until the transition to RUN mode.
Response when expected and actual configurations do not match
The configuration downloaded to the CPU represents the expected configuration. The actual
configuration is the actual physical configuration of the ET 200pro distributed I/O system. If
the preset and actual configurations are different, the setting of the "Comparison preset
configuration to actual configuration" parameter determines the behavior of the CPU (you
can find additional information in the section Operating state transitions).
Cancellation of the startup
If errors occur during startup, the CPU cancels the startup and returns to STOP mode.
The CPU does not perform startup or interrupts the startup under the following conditions:
● You have not inserted a SIMATIC memory card or an invalid one is inserted.
● You have not downloaded a hardware configuration to the CPU.
