Testing the STEP7 program

When the program has been completed, it can be loaded into the PLC and tested. The S7 configuration

tool can be used for program testing.
You can use the S7 configuration tool to scan the PLC program for the drives used.

The configuration tool first tries to detect which data blocks are allocated as job lists.

The instance data blocks for the drives are then scanned.

For every drive found, a corresponding configuration entry is created in the tree structure in

the left part of the S7-MPI configuration tool. The block number of the job list is entered into

the input field provided.

If these entries correspond to the expected result, further tests can be made with the DriveServer:

Save the configuration file of the S7 configuration tool and start the configuration of the

DriveServer. For more information about configuration, please refer to the documentation

“DriveServer - Getting Started”.

Structure of the DriveServer name area

Each drive controller has its own name within the DriveServers. The name consists of the following

elements separated by a hyphen:

Address of the master PLC

Sub-network ID (in round brackets; only if a slave PLC exists)

Address of the slave PLC (only if a slave PLC exists)

PROFIBUS address of the drive controller

Example:

Two drive controllers with PROFIBUS address 9 and 10 are connected to a master PLC with MPI

address 2.

In addition, a slave PLC is connected to the master PLC via TCP.

The corresponding TCP sub-network has the sub-network ID 0086:0006

The slave PLC has the IP address 192.168.14.164

A drive controller with PROFIBUS address 4 is connected to the slave PLC.
