1.2.15 User-Created F-Libraries
User-Created F-Libraries
As of S7 Distributed Safety, V 5.2 + SP 1, you can create your own F-libraries for
S7 Distributed Safety.
These "user-created F-libraries" can include only the following:
F-FBs and F-FCs created by users in F-FBD/F-LAD •
• Application templates created by users in F-FBD/F-LAD
Please note the following important information that differs from the information in
the manual:
Note
In contrast to the information in the manual, in Section 5.6, for S7 Distributed
Safety, V 5.2 + SP 1 the supplied F-library Distributed Safety (V1) must not
include user-created F-FBs, F-FCs, modified or additional application templates.
You must create your own F-libraries for these objects.
The F-library Distributed Safety (V1) must only contain F-blocks and application
templates that were installed with the S7 Distributed Safety version.
How to Create an F-Library
Requirements:
You have created F-FBs, F-FCs in the FBD/LAD editor and possibly assigned
know-how protection (see Section 1.2.9), modified application templates of the
F-library Distributed Safety (V1) or created new application templates.
•
• The F-FBs/F-FCs/application templates are not open in the FBD/LAD editor.
You create your own F-library with S7 Distributed Safety, V 5.2 + SP 1 as follows:
1. Open the F-library Distributed Safety (V1) and save it under another name (for
example "PRESSCONTROL_V1").
2. Open the F-library "PRESSCONTROL_V1" and delete all its content (folder
"F-Application Blocks" and "F-System Blocks" with their content).
3. Insert a new folder called "S7 Program" in the F-library
"PRESSCONTROL_V1".
4. Open the project with the F-FBs/F-FCs/ application templates you have
created and copy them to the "S7 Program" folder.
You can rename the block container and further structure the F-library (create
more "S7 Program" folders).
