160 System Manual, 07/2009, C79000-G8976-C222-07
● Channel name: LocalParameterInput - Local parameter input
(Channel type:
Data send ):
Local active parameters can be returned to the send block over the
LocalParameterInput
input.
The data area corresponds to the data area set for
ParameterOutput of the same object.
If you do not require the parameter, leave it inactive.
This channel type has no specific parameters.
● Channel name:
ParameterOutput - Parameter output
(Channel type:
Setpoint receive ):
The parameters sent by the partner object or enter the local at
LocalParameterInput are
output at
ParameterOutput .
The data area can vary length between 1 and 12 double words. The content per double
words can be a value in double word format, however, a mixture of other formats his
permitted if they in turn result in a double word, for example
- 4 bytes or
- 2 words or
- 2 bytes plus 1 word.
Name: Number
Range of
values:
1 ... 12
Default: 12
Explanation: The parameter decides the size of the
ParameterOutput data field in
double words. This must be identical to the data field size of the sending
partner object
Par12D_S .
1.10.13 Synchronization of the CPU time with TD7onTIM
Time information provided by the TIM
The synchronization of the time on stations is selected in HW Config in the properties dialog
of the TIM,
Time Service tab, refer to the section Setting TIM module parameters (Page 24).
If the "TD7onCPU" TD7 software is running on an Ethernet TIM (TIM 3V-IE variant or
TIM 4R-IE) and the TIM's time is synchronized by a master computer, the TIM acts as time
master and synchronizes its local CPU (using FC TimeTask) over the backplane bus.
If the "TD7onTIM" TD7 software is running on an Ethernet TIM and the time on the TIM is
synchronized by a master computer, the TIM makes the time available to its local CPU at the
I/O addresses. The CPU user program can then read and evaluate the time there.
The I/O addresses of the CPU available for the date and time information from the TIM are
set in HW Config in the properties dialog of the TIM,
Addresses tab, refer to the section
"
Setting TIM module parameters (Page 24)".
The time information of a time-synchronized TIM module with TD7onTIM is stored in 8 bytes
of the peripheral "inputs". The time information has an offset of 8 bytes from the base value
of the inputs. The following table shows the assignment of the 8 bytes of time information.
