Siemens SIMATIC NET S7-300 User Manual

7 Programming FCs (Functions) and FBs for S7 Ethernet CPs
A-194
S7-CPs for Industrial Ethernet Configuring and Commissioning
Release 01/2007
C79000-G8976-C182-07
Notice
Please note the following special feature on TCP connections:
With the older S7-CPs for S7-400, you must use FC AG_LSEND on TCP
connections!
With the latest S7-CPs for S7-300, you must also use FC AG_SEND for TCP
connections.
How the Block Works
The following diagrams illustrate the normal sequence of data transmission
triggered in the user program using AG_SEND.
The way in which the FC functions depends on the CP type you are using.
 Case a: Sequence with older CP types
With older CP types, the transfer of the entire data area regardless of its length
is started after the first block call by the CP.
 Case b: Sequence with newer CP types (S7-300 only!)
With the newer CP types, data transfer has been optimized. In particular with
longer data records, this allows a much higher data throughput on the interface
between the CPU and CP.
