6.4.6 Monitoring the transfer by means of the MC5 package
Both, modules and PLCs must be programmed to allow monitoring of connect requests.
It is assumed that all modules have been configured and that the PLCs have not been erased. The
RUN/STOP switches of the PLCs must be in the STOP location. You must now load the PLC-
programs described in chapter 6.4.3 into the two PLCs. Start the PLCs by switching the RUN/STOP
switches to RUN. At this point only the green RUN LEDs may be on the PLCs and on the CPs. The
two modules are communicating. This is evident from the KOMM-LED.
Start the MC5 package on on your PC and perform the following steps to monitor the transmit job:
Call the test menu (F8) from the main menu.
Change to the sub-menu Control Variables ("Steuern Variablen.") by means of
"Steu.Var" (F5).
The screen display indicates the respective function in the heading, the occupation of the
current pages (in %) and the current number of pages (from 1 to 20). Below this the
display is split into three columns. The "Operand" column is used to enter process
variables by means of an editing function or by loading a list of variables. The "Format"
column may be used for alterations, depending on the type of operand.
Refer to the MC5 manual for more detailed information on the operation of the test menu
of the MC5 package.
Enter the respective data modules (here DB11) and data words (here DW0 to DW99) into
the column with the heading "Operand".
User data may be entered from DW1. Place the cursor on Value (Wert) and enter the
value that you wish to transfer. In the example this Valuecontains "1111".
