PartnerMonitor
• FC PartnerMonitor can be included as an option. This FC displays
important status information about a SINAUT subscriber
(communication partner). The FC can also be used to trigger a
general request to the subscriber and to establish and disconnect a
permanent connection with the subscriber.
FC PartnerMonitor must be included once for each subscriber
requiring the extended display and control features. FC PartnerStatus
can be omitted for these subscribers.
The block is practical for monitoring and controlling the connections
with ST7 stations.
ListGenerator FC ListGenerator300 (for S7-300 CPU) or FC ListGenerator400 (for S7-
400 CPU) can be included as options. The FC is required if the master
station receives messages containing no destination address or an
incomplete destination address. This can occur in the following situations:
• When the configuration of the destination address is omitted in one or
more data point typicals in an ST7 station (the parameters PartnerNo
and PartnerObjectNo were not specified; there is therefore a
transmission to all known destination subscribers).
• When ST1 stations are connected to the master station.
Following the FCs shown above for SINAUT basic tasks, data point
typicals for sending and receiving data are called. The sequence of the
individual typicals is unimportant. The number of typicals to call and the
required types depend on the amount and type of data to be sent and
received.
The following typically applies to master station:
• Send
– Commands
– Setpoints (including limit values, parameters, etc.)
• Receive
– Binary information, such as status messages and alarms
– Analog values
– Counted values
All data point typicals are FBs. An instance DB must be specified when
an FB is called. The number of this instance DB is identical to the object
number of the datapoint object (this addressing rule does not apply to the
ST1 versions of the data point typicals). A data point object consists of
one or more data points of the same type, e.g. 4 bytes of binary
information, or 4 analog values, or 1 byte commands, etc.
ST7 format

• The following should be inserted for receiving and outputting binary
information, such as status information, alarms, etc.:

Ana…_R
• The following should be included for receiving and outputting analog
values:
For ST7: one or more FB-Ana…_R
Cnt…_R
• The following should be included for receiving and outputting counted
values:
For ST7: one or more FB-Cnt…_R
