5.2 Handling the TM FAST application
5.2.1 Introduction
You can define the hardware functionality of the module by programming a TM FAST
application for the FPGA of the module. The TM FAST application consists of system logic and
user logic.
Note
Delivery state
In the delivery state the technology module does not include a TM FAST application.
System logic
The system logic is an Intel® Quartus® project provided by Siemens for download as a
framework for developing your own logic (user logic).
The system logic:
• Contains the interface to the SIMATIC S7 system
• Provides the interface for the user logic
• Can be adapted via various parameters
The USER_LOGIC_VERSION and APPLICATION_ID system logic parameters are used to identify
the loaded TM FAST application. The FUNCTION_ID system logic parameter is reserved and
must be set to 0. You can read the three system logic parameters using the
LTMFAST_ControlREC (Page 31) instruction. You can find additional information about the
system logic parameters in the programming manual Creating a TM FAST Application
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109816088).
You can find additional information about the software components at Siemens Industry
Online Support (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109817062).
User logic
The user logic is created with the external software Intel® Quartus® Prime. The free version
Intel® Quartus® Prime Lite Edition is sufficient in most cases. The specific steps for creating
the TM FAST application are described in the programming manual Creating a TM FAST
Application (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109816088).

Load a TM FAST application
You have different options for loading a TM FAST application into the module (Page 42).
