Software for the S7-400-CPU
The software for the CPU consists of the FC CNT_CTRL function, which is invoked in the
CPU user program. This FC enables communication between the CPU and the FM 450-1. In
addition, there is also the FC DIAG_INF for the FM 450-1 with which you can transmit
diagnostic data into the DB of FC CNT_CTRL.
