SINUMERIK 840Di sl Manual (HBIsl) -- 01/2007 Edition
If inconsistencies are detected in the configuration, an error dialog box is dis-
played and the error messages and help are displayed.
The menu command Station > Save and Compile saves the current configura-
tion in S7 as object: ”Station” and is then compiled.
If the configuration is compiled without error the system data blocks are gener-
ated and stored in directory: ”Blocks” of the PLC.
In example project: ”SIN840Di sl” the system data blocks are located at:
S SIN840Di sl
SIMATIC 300(1)
PLC317--2DP 2AJ10
STEP 7 Program(3)
Blocks > System data
The current system data blocks can be displayed by double--clicking the icon:
”System data” in dialog box: ”System Data Blocks”.
Note
System data blocks cannot be edited individually. Only the configuration as a
whole can be edited.
8.3.5 Loading a configuration into the PLC
Once you have successfully generated the system data blocks you can load the
configuration into the PLC.
Loading of the configuration is described in detail as part of PLC commissioning
in Section 6.6, Page 6-154.
8.3.6 PROFIBUS diagnosis
The following specific diagnostic displays are recommended for diagnosis of the
PROFIBUS or DP slave status when checking the configuration or when errors
occur:
S 840Di start--up
menu bar: Window > Diagnosis > PROFIBUS > Bus or Slaves
S HMI Advanced
