C.1 Overview
This addendum supplements Chapters 7, 8 and 10 of the Manual. It describes
the standard functions of the IP 240 counter, position decoder and positioning
module for the SIMATIC S7-400.
The IP 240 counter, position decoder and positioning module can be con-
nected via the adapter casing in a SIMATIC S7-400 programmable controller
or via the IM 463-2 and IM 314 interface modules in a 185U expansion rack.
For this purpose, there are new standard functions which can execute in the
S7-400 programmable controller’s CPUs.
The standard functions are provided in the form of a SETUP on a diskette.
The SETUP can execute only under Windows 95.
When the SETUP executes, it creates a library containing only the standard
functions for the IP 240, and a programming example.
An on-line Help facility is provided for the standard functions.
Before initializing the IP 240, you should make sure that the following pre-
requisite has been fulfilled:
 Be sure that Version 2.0 or a newer version of STEP 7 has been correctly
installed on your programming device or PC.
All the software (standard functions and examples) can be found on the two
3.5 inch diskettes “Counting and Position Decoding” (FIP240Z) and
“Positioning” (FIP240P).
Here’s how to install the software:
1. Insert the diskette in your programming device or PC diskette drive.
2. Under Windows 95, start the dialog for installing software by double-
clicking on the Software symbol in Control panel.
3. Select the diskette drive and the SETUP.EXE file and start the installa-
tion procedure.
4. Follow the step-by-step directives displayed by the installation program.
