What Can the FM 350 Do?
What Can the FM 350 Do?
The FM 350 function module is a high-speed counter module for use in the S7-300/M7-300 programmable controller. There is one counter on the module that can operate in the following ranges:
S 0 to 4,294,967,295 (0 to 232 1) or S
- 2,147,483,648 to + 2,147,483,647 (231 to 231 1). The maximum input frequency of the counter signals is up to 500 kHz depending on the encoder signal. You can use the FM 350 for the following counting tasks:
S Continuous counting S Up/down counting once S Periodic up/down counting

You can start and stop the count either via the user program (software gate) or via external signals (hardware gate).
Comparison Values
You can store two comparison values on the module assigned to the two relevant outputs on the module. If the counter status reaches one of the two comparison values, the relevant output can be set to initiate control actions direct in the process.
Starting Value
You can specify a starting value (load value) to the FM 350 for each counter. The counter is set to the starting value if a software or hardware signal is present at the module.
Process Interrupts
The FM 350 can trigger a process interrupt in the CPU if the comparison values are reached, or in the case of overflow, underflow and/or in the case of zero pass of a counter.
Diagnostics Interrupts
The FM 350 can trigger a diagnostics interrupt if any of the following occur:
S Fault in external auxiliary voltage S Fault in 5.2 VDC encoder supply S Module not parameterized or errors in parameterization S Watchdog triggered S RAM defective S Process interrupt lost S Fault in signal A, B or N

Product Overview
Pulse Duration
You can specify a pulse duration for the digital outputs of the FM 350. The pulse duration specifies how long the relevant digital output is to be set. You can specify a value between 0 and 500 ms for the pulse duration. This value applies for both outputs. You can adapt the FM 350 to existing actuators by specifying a pulse duration.
Which Signals Can the FM 350 Count?
The FM 350 can count signals generated by the following encoders:
S Incremental 5 V encoders S Incremental 24 V encoders S 24 V pulse encoders with direction level S 24 V initiators without direction level
for example, light barrier or BERO
Input Filter
For the purpose of suppressing interference, you can parameterize input filters (RC elements) with a uniform filter time for the 24 V inputs A*, B* and N* and for the digital inputs. The following two input filters are available:
Table 1-1 Input Filters Features Typical input delay Maximum counting frequency Minimum pulse width of the count signals Input Filter 1 (Default) 1 ms 200 kHz 2.5 ms Input Filter 2 15 ms 20 kHz 25 ms

Application Areas of the FM 350
Where Can You Use the FM 350?
The main application area of the FM 350 is where signals with high frequencies are counted and high-speed responses have to be triggered to predefined counter statuses. Examples include:
S Packaging plants S Sorting plants S Dosing or proportioning plants.

Example for the Use of an FM 350 In this example, a carton must be filled with a specific number of parts. One counter of the FM 350 counts the parts and controls the motor for transporting the parts and the motor for transporting the carton. If the carton is in the correct position, conveyor belt A is stopped via the light barrier, the count is started and the motor for conveyor belt B is switched on. When the carton contains the programmed number of parts, the FM 350 stops the motor for conveyor belt B and switches on the motor for conveyor belt A for removal of the carton. The count can start again when the next carton reaches the light barrier.

FM 350 Software
FM 350 Software Packages
To integrate the FM 350 into the S7-300, you require a software package with
S Parameter assignment screen forms S Software for the CPU

The software for integrating the FM 350 into the M7-300 is described in Chapters 7 and 12. Parameter Assignment Screen Forms The FM 350 is adapted to the task in hand via parameters. These parameter are stored in an SDB and transferred to the module from the CPU. You can specify the parameters via parameter assignment screen forms. These parameter assignment screen forms are installed on your programming device and called up within STEP 7. The software for the CPU consists of the FC CNT_CTRL function called in the user program of the CPU. This FC enables communication between the CPU and the FM 350. In addition, there is also the FC DIAG_INF function for the FM 350, with which you can transfer diagnostics information into the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL. Figure 1-3 shows an S7-300 configuration with an FM 350 and several signal modules.

Definitions
What is Counting?
2
Count Range, Count Limits
Counting refers to the process of capturing and summing up events. In the case of the FM 350 function module, encoder signals are captured and evaluated accordingly.
The FM 350 can count up and down. By selecting the count range, you define the limits within which the FM 350 can count.
Count Range Count range 1: 32 bits Count range 2: + 31 bits 0 2,147,483,648 Lower Count Limit Upper Count Limit + 4,294,967,295 + 2,147,483,647
Load Value
You can specify a starting value to the FM 350 with which the count is to be started. Counting starts at this value. The starting value is referred to as the load value. The load value can be any value within the count limits.
Comparison Values
In order to be able to trigger responses in the process independently of the CPU when a specific counter status is reached, you can use the two digital outputs on the module. You store two comparison values on the FM 350. If the counter status reaches either of the two comparison values, the associated digital output is set and/or a process interrupt is generated.
Example
In the example in Section 1.2, the motor for conveyor belt B is to be stopped as soon as the carton contains the programmed number of parts. For this purpose, you can specify this number to the FM 350 as the comparison value and use the associated digital output to stop the motor.
Three Different Counting Methods
With the FM 350, you can count rectangular pulses in three different ways:
S Continuous counting, with or without gate function S Single count, with hardware or software gate S Periodic counting, with hardware or software gate
The differences between the methods become obvious in the behavior of the FM 350 when a counter has reached a count limit.
2-2
Continuous Counting
If a counter reaches the upper limit when counting up, and if another count pulse comes, the counter jumps to the lower count limit and starts to add the count pulses again; so it continues to count continuously. If a counter reaches the lower limit when counting down, and if another count pulse comes, it jumps to the upper count limit and continues to count down from there.
Counter status Upper count limit
Lower count limit Time Figure 2-1 Continuous Counting in the Up Direction
Single Counting
In single counting, the counter starts at the load value. If a counter reaches the upper count limit when counting up, and if another count pulse comes, the counter jumps to the lower count limit and remains there even if further count pulses come. If a counter reaches the lower limit when counting down, and if another count pulse comes, it jumps to the upper limit and remains there even if further count pulses come.
Counter status Upper count limit Load value Lower count limit Time Figure 2-2 Single Counting in the Up Direction
2-3
Periodic Counting
In periodic counting, the counter starts from the load value. When the counter reaches the upper counting limit when counting up, and if a another count pulse comes, it jumps to the load value and starts to add the count pulses again. If a counter reaches the lower limit when counting down, and if another count pulse comes, it jumps to the load value and continues to count down from there.
Counter status Upper count limit Load value Lower count limit Time Figure 2-3 Periodic Counting in the Up Direction

2.2
Gate Functions
Counting with Gate Functions
Many applications require that the count be started or stopped at a defined time depending on other events. This starting and stopping of the count is done in the case of the FM 350 via a gate function. If the gate is opened, count pulses can reach a counter and the count is started. If the gate is closed, count pulses can no longer reach the counter and the count is stopped.
Software Gate and Hardware Gate
The module has two gate functions for each counter
S A software gate controlled via the user program in the CPU. S A hardware gate controlled via digital inputs I0 and I1 on the module.
When assigning parameters to the FM 350, you define whether the hardware gate is to operate with level control or with edge control.
Example
The gate is opened and the count pulses are counted by setting the gate signal. If the gate signal is removed, the gate is closed and the count pulses are no longer captured by the counter. The counter status remains constant. Figure 2-4 shows the opening and closing of a gate and the counting of the pulses.
Counter status 1 Count pulses Gate signal Open gate 2 3 4 4
Close gate
Figure 2-4
Opening and Closing a Gate
Terminating a Count with the Gate Stop Function
When counting with the software gate and when counting with the hardware gate, you can terminate the count in each case using the gate stop function. For this purpose, set the input parameter GATE_STP of the FC CNT_CTRL.

3.1
Preparing the Installation

The 350 function module can be installed like a signal module in any of slots 4 to 11. Manual /1/ describes the possibilities open to you for mechanical installation and how to proceed when configuring. The following gives only a few supplementary notes. 1. A maximum of eight SMs or FMs are permissible per rack. 2. The maximum number is restricted by the width of the modules or the length of your DIN rail. The FM 350 requires an installation width of 40 mm. 3. The maximum number is restricted by the total current consumptions of all modules to the right of the CPU from the 5 V backplane bus supply. The current consumption of the FM 350 is 160 mA. 4. The maximum number is restricted by the memory required by the CPU software for communications with the FM 350.
Defining the Slots
Mechanical Configuration
Vertical or Horizontal Arrangement Determining the Starting Address
Horizontal arrangement is preferable. For vertical arrangement, you must observe the restricted ambient temperatures (max. 40C).
The starting address of the FM 350 is required for communications between the CPU and the FM 350. The starting address is entered in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL (see Chapters 6 and 11). The entry is made either with the help of the program editor or from the user program. You can determine the starting address of the FM 350 in accordance with the rules used to determine the starting address of an analog module.
Fixed Addressing
In the case of fixed addressing, the starting address depends on the slot. See the tables in Manual /1/ for the starting address of an analog module on the different slots. You can also calculate this fixed starting address using the following formula: Addr. = 256 +(mounting rack no. *128)+(slot no. 4)*16
Free Addressing
With free addressing, you specify the starting address of the module using STEP 7.
Important Safety Rules
There are important rules you must observe for integrating an S7-400 with an FM 350 into a plant or a system. These rules and regulations are explained in manual /1/.
3-2
3.2
Rules
No special protection measures (ESD guidelines) are required for installing an FM 350.
Tools Required
You require a 4.5 mm screwdriver for installing and removing the FM 350.
Setting the Counter Signals (Coding Connector)
Before you install an FM 350 on the DIN rail, you must set the coding connector to the correct position. Table 3-1 assigns the position of the coding connector to the counter signals used. (See also /1/.)
Table 3-1 Possible Positions of the Coding Connector Signal Type 5 V differential signals 24 V signals

Installation Procedure
Below is a description of how to proceed when installing the FM 350 on the DIN rail. You will find further notes on installing modules in manual /1/. 1. Switch the CPU to the STOP state. 2. The FM 350 is supplied with an expansion bus. Plug this into the bus connector of the module to the left of the FM 350. (The bus connector is located on the back and you may have to loosen the neighboring module.)
3. Hang the FM 350 onto the rail and swing it down. 4. Tighten the screw on the FM 350 (tightening torque approximately 0.8 to 1.1 Nm). If further modules are to be installed to the right of the FM 350, first connect the expansion bus of the next module to the right-hand backplane bus connector of the FM 350. If the FM 350 is the last module in the rack, do not connect an expansion bus! 5. Label the FM 350 with its slot number. Use the number wheel supplied with the CPU for this purpose. Manual /1/ describes the numbering scheme you must use and how to connect the slot numbers. 6. Install the shield attachment.
Procedure for Disassembling/ Changing Modules
Below is a description of how to dismantle the FM 350. You will find further notes on disassembling modules in manual /1/. 1. Switch off the auxiliary voltage and the load voltage at the front connector. 2. Switch the CPU to the STOP state. 3. Open the front panel. If necessary, remove the labeling strip. 4. Release the front connector and pull it out. 5. Loosen the fixing screw on the module. 6. Swing the module out of the DIN rail and unhook it. 7. Install the new module if applicable.

Note The circuits for the counter inputs (encoder supply, encoder signals) are nonisolated to the ground of the CPU, that is, terminal 2 (1M) must have a lowresistance connection to CPU ground. If you supply the encoders externally, you must also connect the ground of this external voltage with the ground of the CPU.
4-3
Wiring the FM 350
Auxiliary Voltage 1L+, 1M
Connect a direct voltage of 24 V to the 1L+ and 1M terminals for the voltage supply of the 5 V and 24 V encoders. An integral diode protects the module from reverse polarity of the auxiliary voltage. The module monitors the connection of the auxiliary voltage.
5.2 VDC Encoder Supply
4
24 VDC Encoder Supply
The module generates a voltage of 5.2 V from the auxiliary voltage 1L+/1M at a maximum current of 300 mA that is available at the 5.2 VDC connection for the short-circuit-proof supply of a 5 V encoder. The encoder supply is checked for short-circuit.
For the 24 V voltage supply of an encoder, the voltage 1L+/1M is made available and short-circuit proof at the 24 VDC output. The encoder supply is monitored for short-circuit.
5 V Encoder Signals A, A, B, B, N and N
You can connect incremental encoders with 5 V differential signals to the front connector in accordance with RS 422, that is, incremental encoders with the differential signals, A, A, B, B, N and N. The signals A, A, B, B, N and N are connected via the terminals so labeled. The signals N and N are only connected if you want to set the counter to the zero mark of the encoder. The inputs are not galvanically isolated from the S7-400 bus (see note on page 4-3).
24 V Encoder Signals A*, B* and N*
24 V signals are represented by the letters A*, B* and N*. You can connect three different encoder types to each counter:
S Incremental encoders with 24 V signals:

The signals A*, B* and N* are connected via the terminals so labeled.
S Pulse encoders without direction level:

The signal is connected to terminal A*.
S Pulse encoders with direction level:

The count signal is connected to terminal A*. The direction level is connected to terminal B*. The inputs are not galvanically isolated from the S7-300 bus (see note on page 4-3).
Input Filter for 24 V Encoder Signals
For the purpose of suppressing interference, you can parameterize input filters (RC elements) with a uniform filter time for the 24 V inputs A*, B* and N. The following input filters are available:

Digital Inputs I0, I1 and I2 You can use the digital inputs I0 and I1 for the gate control of the counter. The gate control can be both level-controlled and edge-controlled (see Chapter 9). Digital input I2 is used for setting the counter to the load value. The digital inputs are operated with a nominal voltage of 24 V. The digital inputs are galvanically isolated from the bus of the S7-300 and the counter inputs.
Input Filter for Digital Inputs
For the purpose of suppressing interference, you can parameterize input filters (RC elements) with a uniform filter time for digital inputs I0, I1 and I2. The following two input filters are available.

1 ms 200 kHz 2.5 ms
15 ms 20 kHz 25 ms
Digital Outputs Q0 and Q1
The FM 350 has the two digital outputs Q0 and Q1 for direct triggering of control actions. The digital outputs are supplied with the 2L+ load voltage. The digital outputs are galvanically isolated from the S7-300 bus and the counter inputs. The digital outputs are source outputs and can be loaded with a load current of 0.5 A. They are protected from overload and short-circuit. Note Relays and contactors can be connected direct without external circuitry.
4-5
Wiring the FM 350
The time characteristics of the digital outputs depend on the parameterization and are explained in more detail in Chapter 9 Setting: Behavior of the Digital Outputs.
Load Voltage 2L+/ 2M
For supplying the digital outputs Q0 and Q1, the module must be supplied with a load voltage of 24 V via terminals 2L+ and 2M. An integral diode protects the module from polarity reversal of the load voltage. The load voltage 2L+/2M is not monitored by the FM 350.

Wiring the Front Connector
Cables
There are some rules for you to observe when selecting cables:
S The cables for digital inputs I0, I1 and I2 must be shielded. S The cable for the counter signals must be shielded. S You must apply the shields of the counter signal cables both at the pulse
encoder and in the immediate vicinity of the module via the shield attachment, for example.
S The cables A, A, B, B and N, N of the incremental 5 V encoder must be

twisted in pairs. Figure 4-2 shows details of connecting incremental 5 V encoders.

S Use flexible cables with cross-sections of 0.25 to 1.5 mm.

Note If the encoders are supplied via the module, the cable cross-section must be large enough to carry the required voltage to the encoder despite voltage drops over the cable. This applies especially in the case of incremental 5 V encoders.
S A wire end ferrule is not required. If you use wire end ferrules then use
only those without insulation collar in accordance with DIN 46228 Form A, short version!

Wiring Steps
Proceed as follows when wiring the front connector: Warning There is a danger of personal injury. If you wire the front connector of the FM 350 when the power is switched on, you are in danger of injury from electric shock. Wire the FM 350 only when the power is switched off!
1. Set the front connector to the wiring position and open the front panel. 2. Strip the conductors (length 6 mm). 3. Are you using wire end ferrules? If so: Press-fit the wire end ferrules onto the conductors. 4. Feed the enclosed strain relief clamp into the front connector. 5. If the wires leave the module at the bottom, begin wiring at the bottom, otherwise begin at the top. Also tighten unassigned terminals (tightening torque 0.6 to 0.8 Nm). 6. Tighten the strain relief clamp for the cable chain. 7. Push the front connector into the operating position. 8. Apply the cable shields to the shield attachment or to the shield bar. 9. Label the terminals on the labeling strip. Figure 4-4 shows the module with shielded cables and shield attachment.

6.1
The FC CNT_CTRL Function

The data required for the FC CNT_CTRL are stored in a DB on the CPU. The FC CNT_CTRL transfers data cyclically from this DB to the FM and fetches data from the FM. You create the DB under STEP 7 as a data block with assigned user-specific data type. Select UDT 1 as the source. UDT 1 has been copied into the block library for the counters (FM_CNT) during installation of the FCs. You must not modify UDT 1. Copy UDT 1 together with the FCs into your project. Before programming the FM 350, the following valid data must be assigned to the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL:
Prerequisite
S Module address
You set the module address (base address of the FM 350) when configuring your hardware.

Example
S Channel address
The channel address is the same as the module address in pointer format.
S User data length

The user data length is 16. You will find below an example of how to implement the transfer of the module address, the channel address and the user data length in OB10. The symbol table contains the following assignments for this example:
FM350_DB DB 1 DB with the counter data

You make a job request for the FM 350 via the relevant FC parameters L_DIRECT, L_PREPAR, T_CMP_V1, T_CMP_V2, RES_SYNC, RES_ZERO, OT_ERR_A and GATE_STP. Depending on the job request, you must enter the load value or a comparison value in the DB before calling the FC. A set in/out parameter (L_DIRECT, L_PREPAR, T_CMP_V1, T_CMP_V2, RES_SYNC and RES_ZERO) is deleted again by the FC CNT_CTRL after completion of the job.
As soon as the FC CNT_CTRL detects a restart (CPU restart or FM restart), any pending job is relegated and the restart is acknowledged first. Any job already initiated by you is continued only after the restart has been completed and will not be lost. If an operator error occurs in the case of an FC call, this is reported in the OT_ERR parameter. The error information can then be read out in DB1 (OT_ERR_B variable). With the help of the OT_ERR_A parameter, you can then acknowledge operator errors. No new operator error will be reported until you have acknowledged the previous one.

The FC DIAG_INF Function
Functionality
The FC DIAG_INF function reads data set DS1 from the FM 350 and makes it available to you in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL. The transfer works as follows:
S If the initiation parameter is set (IN_DIAG = TRUE), DS1 is read out

from the FM 350.
S DS1 is entered in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL from DW 54. DS1 is

transferred with the help of the SFC RD_REC.
S The return code of the SFC (RET_VAL) is copied to the RET_VAL parameter of the FC DIAG_INF.
S As soon as the function has been executed, the IN_DIAG initiation parameter is reset and the transfer is reported to be complete. Manual /2/ contains a full description of the SFC RD_REC.
Call
The FC DIAG_INF can be called in the cycle and in the interrupt program. There is no point in calling it in the time-controlled program. The FC DIAG_INF call is given in the STL and LAD methods of representation below.

Description of the Sequence
When the FC is called, the load value of a channel is transferred to the FM 350. The load value must have previously been entered in the DB1. Calling the FC CNT_CTRL selects either the parameter L_DIRECT or L_PREPAR. The selection bit L_DIRECT defines that the load value is transferred direct into the counter (L_DIRECT=1). The selection bit L_PREPAR defines that the load value is stored in the load register (L_PREPAR=1). The load value in the load register is then transferred to the counter when the counter is next set. A new counter value is prepared L_PREPAR=1. Transfer of the load value lasts at least 3 FC calls. The FC must be called until it has reset the selected initiation bit (L_DIRECT or L_PREPAR). While the job is in progress, the in/out parameter remains set. The FC CNT_CTRL does not output any error messages with regard to data exchange with the FM.
If the parameter you set is reset by the FC CNT_CTRL, the FM 350 has accepted the FM 350. The read-back load value stored in DB1 is updated by the FC CNT_CTRL. You must generate the Initiation bit in accordance with your technological requirements. This bit must only remain at 1 for one cycle. Please note that the FC must be called until the in/out parameter is reset by the FC CNT_CTRL.

In the following sections you will learn how to use these functions in the user program. This chapter does not contain a detailed description of the individual parameters or function arguments. Please see Chapter 12 for these.
Programming Environment
All the system functions and standard functions of the M7-300/400 system software are available to you for programming in the Borland C/C++ development environment in STEP 7. System functions support you in the following, for example:
S Task management S Memory management S Communications S Interrupt processing S Diagnostics processing S Responding to system states S Accessing process I/O
In addition, you can use the standard functions of the RMOS CRUN library. You will find descriptions of these functions in the M7-300/400 system software manuals.
Header File
When creating a C program for counter control, you must link in the header file M7CNT.H in the declaration section. All other necessary header files are already linked when you work with Borland C programs.
7-3
7.2
Basic Program Structure
Sequence
The program structure for the counter module must be adapted to the requirements of your application. In most cases however, the program will contain the following functions in the sequence given, with most of the functions being optional. The only strict requirement is that you call the M7CntInit function once per channel before all other funcitons in the count library.
Function Explanation Trigger and handle process interrupts. Otherwise, no process interrupts are reported.
1 2 3
6 7 8
9 10
You can use all further functions of the counter function library if required in the user program in the sequence necessary for your application. The first two functions belong to the M7-API library.
Example
The software package includes an example program that clearly illustrates use of the counter functions and makes it easier for you to start programming.
7-4

M7LinkIOAlarm (from M7-API) M7LinkDiagAlarm (from M7-API) M7CntInit M7CntPar Trigger and handle diagnostics interrupts. Otherwise, no diagnostics interrupts are reported. Initialize counter channel (mandatory) Parameterize counter channel via the program. Otherwise, you can parameterize the counter channel under STEP 7 (see Parameter Assignment chapter). Communicate a load value to the counter channel. Otherwise, the counter channel starts with the value 0. Communicate comparison values to the counter channel. Otherwise, the comparison values are at 0. M7CntLoadDirect M7CntLoadComp M7CntEnableOut M7CntStart Enable outputs if you want to use the digital outputs of the counter channel. Start counter channel if you have set an operating mode with software gate. In the case of operating modes with hardware gate, you start the counter channel via the START digital input. Stop counter channel M7CntStop M7CntRead Read counter value, for example, for test purposes or further processing.
7.3
Initializing and Parameterizing the Counter Channel
M7CntInit Initializing the Counter Channel
Counter channels are initialized via the M7CntInit function. The M7CntInit function must be called once for each counter channel used. It assigns a logical channel number to the address of the counter channel. You specify the address of the counter channel as a parameter. It consists of the following:
S The module starting address. With M7-300, you can specify the slot-dependent default starting address or an address parameterized with STEP 7. With M7-400, you specify the starting address parameterized with STEP 7. If you have assigned a symbol to the address, you can import this symbol into your user program (see ProC/C++ for M7-300/400 User Manual).
S Input type (always M7IO_IN or M7IO_OUT, it doesnt matter which) S Channel number. The channel number can take the following values:
in the FM 350 and IF counters the value is equal to 1 (1 channel) in the FM 350 the value is {1/2} (2 channels) Logical Channel Number The function supplies the logical channel number that you use for all further accesses to this counter channel.
Example
M7CntInit
(CNTMODULEADDRESS, M7IO_IN, 1, &LogChannel)
The parameter &LogChannel contains the return value of the function, the logical channel number.
Parameterizing the Counter Channel
Parameterizing sets the counter module to the requirements of your application. You select the following, for example:
S The operating mode (with software gate or hardware gate) S The sensor type (24 V or 5 V) S The interrupt characteristics of the counter channel, etc.
See Chapter 9 for explanations of the settings. The counter module must be parameterized. If a counter channel is not parameterized, you will receive an error message. There are two basic methods of parameterizing the counter channel:
S With STEP 7 S With the M7CntPar function

Parameterizing with STEP 7 You can parameterize the counter module in a user-friendly manner via screen forms in STEP 7 (see Chapter 5). The parameterization data set with STEP 7 are transferred to the counter module when the M7-300/400 is started up. This means that you must execute a SIMATIC M7 restart each time you change the parameterization data.
7-5
Note The parameters valid at any one time cannot be read out using STEP 7.
Parameterizing the Counter Channel with M7CntPar
You can parameterize and reparameterize a counter channel via the user program using the M7CntPar function. You specify the new parameterization data in the M7CNT_PARAM structure when you call the M7CntPar function (see the function library). The function transfers the parameterization data to the counter module and the new settings become effective immediately. Note When you call the M7CntPar function, all the current parameterization data are always completely overwritten and no part parameterizations can be made.
When reparameterizations are made, any previously stored input or output enables are lost. This means that the M7CntEnableSet and, for example, M7CntEnableOut functions may have to be called again after M7CntPar. Reparameterization overwrites already set comparison values and the load value. When reparameterizing with the M7CntPar function, counter pulses can also be lost. Reparameterization does not affect the other counter channel in the FM 350.
Parameterization Data
Table 12-1 (page 12-26) shows you the assignments between the components of the M7CNT_PARAM structure and the parameterization data, data type, value range and default value.
7-6
7.4
Transferring the Load Value and Comparison Values
Load Value
You can specify a starting value, the load value (LoadVal) to the counter channel. The default load value is 0.
M7CntLoadDirect M7CntLoadPrep
The load value can be transferred direct to the counter channel or it can be stored temporarily in the counter-internal load register. The counter channel can be loaded direct with the M7CntLoadDirect function. With the M7CntLoadPrep function, the load value is not transferred direct to the counter channel, but stored temporarily in the counter channel. The counter channel accepts the load value if:
S a hardware pulse exists at the SET or START input S an overflow or underflow takes place and a periodic operating mode is set S the M7CntStart function is called
Comparison Values You can use the comparison values to control the digital outputs and to trigger interrupts: As soon as the comparison value has been reached, an output can be set, thus triggering a control action. In addition, you can stipulate that a process interrupt is to be triggered as soon as a specific comparison value has been reached. You determine the behavior of the digital outputs via parameterization. Appendix A contains a description of the possible settings and their effects. If you control the digital outputs with the comparison values, you must enable the digital outputs with the M7CntEnableOut function. This call is also required after reparameterization of the counter channel.
M7CntLoadComp
You can transfer one or two comparison values to the counter channel with the M7CntLoadComp.
7-7
7.5
Control of the Digital Inputs and Outputs
Digital Inputs
The counter module has the digital inputs START, STOP, RESET (IF 961-CT1 only) and SET. If an operating mode with hardware gate control has been set, you can control the counter module via hardware signals. Using the SET digital input, the counter channel can be set to the load value via an external signal (see Chapter 9).
M7CntEnableSet
The SET input is enabled with the M7CntEnableSet function. The SET input (or the associated loading of the counter channel) can be enabled for the up count direction, the down count direction or both count directions with only one function call.
M7CntDisableSet
Analogously, the SET input can be disabled via the M7CntDisableSet function. The SET input can be disabled for the up count direction, the down count direction or both count directions with only one function call in the same way as it could be enabled.
Digital Outputs
The counter module has two digital outputs (per counter channel) that you can use to trigger responses in the process independently of the CPU.
M7CntEnableOut
With the M7CntEnableOut function, one output or two of two possible outputs can be enabled with a single function call. The function enables the physical output.
M7CntDisableOut
With the M7CntDisableOut function, each output can be disabled individually or both outputs can be disabled simultaneously with a single function call.
7-8
7.6
Starting and Stopping the Counter Channel
Starting the Counter Channel
Depending on the operating mode, with hardware or software gate control, there are two methods of starting the counter channel: 1. Via the software gate with the M7CntStart function 2. Via the hardware gate by a signal at the START digital input. You set the operating mode via parameterization.
M7CntStart
Using the M7CntStart, the counter channel is started via the software gate. The function opens the software gate.
M7CntLoadAndStart
In addition, the counter channel can be started via the M7CntLoadAndStart function. When called, this function transfers a load value direct to the counter channel. Like M7CntStart, this function also starts the counter channel via the software gate. Note In the case of the operating modes with hardware gate control, the M7CntStart and M7CntLoadAndStart functions initiate a message pointing out an operator error.
Stopping the Counter Channel
There are two methods of stopping the counter channel: 1. Via the software gate with one of the M7CntStop or M7CntStopandRead functions. 2. Via the hardware gate by a signal at the STOP digital input
M7CntStop
The counter channel is stopped with the M7CntStop function. The gate stop function of the counter channel is switched on with this function. The function operates independent of the method of gate control (hardware gate or software gate). Note If a counter channel with hardware gate control is stopped with the M7CntStop function, the counter channel cannot be started until parameterization or reparameterization (M7CntPar function) has taken place.
M7CntStopAndRead
The counter channel can also be stopped via the M7CntStopAndRead function. This function stops the counter channel and reads the counter status. The function is possible in all operating modes with gate control.
7-9
7.7
Reading the Counter Value and the Load Value, Scanning and Resetting the Status
Scanning Information
The functions listed below are used for scanning information such as
S Counter value S Load value and S Counter status

The counter status can be reset if required.
M7CntRead
The counter status can be read with M7CntRead. The current status of the counter channel is read and stored in the pActCntV return parameter.
M7CntStop AndRead
The M7CntStopAndRead function stops the counter channel and reads the counter status simultaneously. The current counter status is then stored in pActCntV.
M7CntRead LoadValue Scanning the Counter Status
The load value of a counter channel can be read with M7CntReadLoadValue.
You can scan the status of the counter channel with the M7CntReadStatus function. The function returns the counter status. See the description of M7CntReadStatus in Appendix 12 for the meaning of the individual bits in the counter status. The function can be used, for example, to scan the zero pass to see if the counter channel is running, if the counter overflow has taken place, which counter direction is in force, etc.
Resetting the Counter Status
Bits that have been set in M7CntReadStatus can be reset again via the M7CntResetStatus, in order, for example, to detect a renewed zero pass or a renewed counter synchronization (multiple setting via SET digital input).
7-10
7.8
Processing Interrupts
Registering at the Interrupt Server
Depending on the parameters assigned, the counter module can initiate process interrupts and/or diagnostics interrupts. In order to receive process interrupts and diagnostics interrupts, the counter channel must be registered with the interrupt server. For this purpose, you must call the following functions:
S M7LinkIOAlarm, to receive process interrupts S M7LinkDiagAlarm, to receive diagnostics interrupts

See the System Software for M7-300 and M7-400 Programming Manual for details of how to work with the interrupt server.
Evaluating Process Interrupts
Your parameter assignments determine if the counter module is to initiate process interrupts and if so which process interrupts it is to initiate (see Table12-1). If required, you define the responses to process interrupts in the program.
7
Evaluating Diagnostics Interrupts If a diagnostics interrupt is signaled by the interrupt server you must evaluate the signal (data set DS0) in order to determine the cause of the interrupt. You can call the following functions from the counter function library to get additional information:
S M7CntReadDiag, if the diagnosis is Error in one channel. S M7CntReadParError, if the diagnosis is Parameter assignment error.
M7CntReadDiag By calling the M7CntReadDiag function, you can scan additional information on the channel error. When the function is called, the diagnostics data set DS1 is read. Data set DS1 contains the additional channel-specific diagnostics information. The first 4 bytes of DS1 contain the current DS0 data set. The diagnostics interrupts and data sets DS0 and DS1 are explained in Chapter 13.
M7CntRead ParError
If the cause of the diagnostics interrupt is a parameter assignment error, you can scan more detailed information with the M7CntReadParError function. The M7CntReadParError function returns an error number that indicates a data error in the M7CNT_PARAM structure. From this you can determine which parameterization datum contains the error or has been assigned an illegal value and you can reparameterize the counter module accordingly.
7-11
7.9
Processing Error Messages
Error Messages
If an error occurs during execution of a function, the function supplies an error number as a return value. You can determine the exact cause of the error with the help of this error number. See Chapter 13 for exact descriptions of the error numbers.
Error Numbers
The table shows the ranges of the error numbers and tells you where you can find more detailed information on evaluating the error numbers:

Definitions
Which Operating Modes are Available?
When you specify one of the three operating modes, you select the functionality with which you want to operate the FM 350. Table 9-1 gives an overview of these operating modes.
Table 9-1 The Operating Modes of the FM 350 Name Continuous counting (with or without gate) Single counting with software gate or hardware gate Periodic counting with software gate or with hardware gate Description The FM 350 counts continuously from the current counter status. The FM 350 counts on opening the gate from the load value to the count limit. The FM 350 counts on opening the gate between the load value and the count limit.
The default setting is the Continuous counting mode. The selection of the count mode, the behavior of the two digital outputs, the pulse duration, the evaluation of the count signals and the choice of signal for setting the counter are independent of the operating mode.
What Settings are Available?
You can adapt the FM 350 to your counting task with five settings. Table 9-2 gives an overview of these settings.
Table 9-2 The Settings of the FM 350 Name Count mode Behavior of digital outputs Q0 and Q1 Pulse duration Initiating process interrupts Encoder Description With the count mode, you select the counting range and so the count limits. You can choose between six possibilities for the behavior of the outputs on reaching the comparison value. The pulse duration indicates the time for which the output is to be set. The FM 350 can initiate a process interrupt in the case of a variety of selectable events. You must specify different settings for the encoder used. These settings are described in Appendix B.
9-2
Which Commands are Available?
You can influence the count in the FM 350 with two commands. Table 9-3 gives an overview of these commands.
Table 9-3 The Commands of the FM 350 Name Open and close gate Set counter Description The count is started by opening a gate and stopped by closing the gate. The counter can be set to the load value via different signals.
Basic Parameter Assignment
You carry out basic parameter assignment for each FM 350 when you configure the hardware. Table 9-4 gives the meanings of the relevant parameters.

Basic Information on Calling Operating Modes, Settings and Commands
How Do You Select the Operating Modes and Settings?
You select the operating modes and settings in the parameter assignment screen forms of the FM 350. The parameter assignment data are saved automatically on the programming device and transferred automatically to the rack SDB. You will find notes on installing the parameter assignment screen forms and on parameterizing the FM 350 in the chapter on Assigning Parameters to the FM 350 and in the integral Help.
How Do You Change Operating Modes and Settings? How Do You Give Commands?
You can change an operating mode or setting in the parameter assignment screen forms. The new operating mode or setting becomes valid after the next FM 350 start-up.
The commands are given either via hardware signals connected to the front connector, or you set the relevant input parameter of the FC CNT_CTRL in the user program in order to influence the count. The input parameters are stored as control bits in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL.
Control Bits and Status Bits in the DB
In addition to the control bits, there are status bits in the DB that signal the status of the count. The DB has two bytes for the control bits and two bytes for the status bits (see Chapter 11).
Transferring the Control Bits and the Status Bits
You transfer the status bits and the control bits to and from the module with the FC CNT_CTRL that you must link into your user program: The control bits and status bits should, if possible, be addressed symbolically in the user program. The symbolic names are used in the description of the FC in this chapter. You will find the precise description of the FC CNT_CTRL in Chapter 6 Programming the FM 350 and you will find the DB assignments in Chapter 11.

Continuous Counting
Definition
In this operating mode, the FM 350 counts continuously from the current count. If the counter reaches the upper limit when counting up, it jumps to the lower count limit and continues to count from there without any pulse losses. If the counter reaches the lower limit when counting down, it jumps to the upper limit and continues to count without any pulse losses.
Selecting the Gate Function
You can select the gate function in this mode. The following possibilities are available to you:
S Without gate (default) S Software gate S Hardware gate, level-controlled or edge-controlled

Counter status Upper count limit
Current counter limit Lower count limit Gate start Figure 9-1 Continuous Counting with Gate Function Gate stop Time

Setting: Counting Mode
Introduction
There is a 32-bit-wide count register on the module. With the count mode, you select whether the module is to count only in the positive range or whether the 32nd bit is interpreted as a sign bit thus allowing negative numbers to be represented. Both count modes, 32-bit and +31-bit, are described in this section.
Counting Ranges
In both count modes, the FM 350 counts in different counting ranges. In each case, an overflow or underflow is detected at the range limits. In the +31-bit count mode, the counter status is represented in 2s complement.
Count Mode 32-bit "31-bit
Counting Range 0 to 4,294,967,295 0 to FFFF FFFFH 2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 8000 0000H to 7FFF FFFFH
Overflow
Underflow
When the counter status changes When the counter status changes from 4,294,967,295 to 0 from 0 to 4,294,967,295 When the counter status changes When the counter status changes from +2,147,483,647 to from to 2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,648 +2,147,483,647
Overflow, Underflow and Zero Pass
In both count modes, a bit is set in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL in the event of overflow and underflow (see Chapter 11). In the case of the +31 bits count mode, a bit is also set in the DB in the event of a zero pass. In the the 32 bits count mode, overflow or underflow is additionally indicated with zero pass, depending on the direction of count.
Event Overflow Underflow Zero pass Bit in DB STS_OFLW is set STS_UFLW is set STS_ZERO is set
Initiating Process Interrupts
You can also signal the overflow, underflow and zero pass events via process interrupts.

Setting: Behavior of the Digital Outputs
Introduction
You can store two comparison values (comparison value 1 and 2) on the module for each counter. These comparison values are assigned to the two digital outputs (comparison value 1: Q0 , comparison value 2: Q1). The relevant output can be set depending on the counter status and the comparison value. This section describes the various methods of setting the behavior of the outputs.
Comparison Values 1 and 2
You enter the two comparison values in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL (CMP_V1, CMP_V2) and transfer them to the FM 350 by setting the bits T_CMP_V1 or T_CMP_V2 (see Chapter 11). The count is not affected by this. The comparison values must be within the count range of the count mode set in each case. The comparison value is interpreted in accordance with the count mode selected. If you give FFFF FFFF H, for example, as the comparison value, the number is interpreted as 4,294,967,295 in 32-bit mode, and as 1 in +31-bit mode.
Enabling the Outputs
Before the outputs can be set, you must enable them first by setting the relevant bits in the DB (see Chapter 11). If you reset one of these bits the associated output is switched off immediately even if you have parameterized a pulse duration for them.

A further pulse can only be initiated when the output is no longer active. ...you want to parameterize an output ac- ...you must not enable a process interrupt on tive from comparison value to overflow Reaching the (relevant) comparison value up or down. ...you want to parameterize an output ac- ...you must not enable a process interrupt on tive from comparison value to underflow Reaching the (relevant) comparison value up or down. ...you want to parameterize an output ac- ...you must not enable a process interrupt tive on exceeding up limit on Reaching the (relevant) comparison value down. ...you want to parameterize an output ac- ...you must not enable a process interrupt tive on exceeding down limit on Reaching the (relevant) comparison value up.

Switching Off the Outputs The outputs are switched off by the following events regardless of the parameter assignments:
S Module watchdog triggered (internal error) S Removal of enable bits (CTRL_DQ0 for Q0 and CTR_DQ1 for Q1 in the
DB, see Chapter 11)
Default Setting
The outputs are switched off in the default setting.
9-14
9.8
Setting: Pulse Duration
Introduction
To adapt to the actuators used in your process (contactors, final control elements, etc.), you can specify the pulse duration during which the outputs are set when a comparison value is reached. This section describes what you must observe if you want to define a pulse duration for the outputs.
Using the Pulse Duration
The pulse duration defines the minimum time the output must be set. This pulse duration only takes effect if you preselect the behavior of the output accordingly. The pulse duration is not effective if the output is to be set between the comparison value and the overflow or underflow. The pulse duration begins when the output is set. The inaccuracy of the pulse duration is less than 1 ms.
Value Range
You can specify a value between 0 and 500 ms for the pulse duration. This value applies for both outputs. Note If you specify zero as the pulse duration, you must ensure that the count pulse times are greater than the minimum switching times of the digital outputs (switching time: 300 s, that is, count frequency less than 3333 Hz); otherwise the control pulses at the outputs will be lost. Check whether your actuator can respond with the switching time of 300 s to cover this eventuality.
Default Value
The default value for the pulse duration is 0.

Command: Open and Close Gate
Introduction
The FM 3501 has the following gates:
S A hardware gate that you can operate either with level control or with
edge control.
S A software gate that you can open and close via control bits in the user
program.
Selecting the Gate
When you select the operating mode (see Section 9.1), you define which gate you want to use for the count. The figures below represent the different methods of opening and closing the gates of the FM 350.
Level-Controlled Opening and Closing of the Hardware Gate
Figure 9-4 shows level-controlled opening and closing of the hardware gate.
Counter status 1 Count pulses Input 1I0 Open gate Close gate 2 3 4 4
Figure 9-4
Level-Controlled Opening and Closing of the Hardware Gate
As long as input I0 is set, the count signals can reach the counter and be counted. If you remove input I0, the gate is closed. The count pulses are no longer counted and the counter stops. If the gate is closed as a result of overflow or underflow, you must first reset input I0 and then apply a positive edge to input I0 in order to open the gate again.
9-16
Edge-Controlled Opening and Closing of the Hardware Gate
Figure 9-5 shows edge-controlled opening and closing of the hardware gate.
1 Count pulses Input I0
Counter status 4
Open gate Input I1 Close gate
Figure 9-5
Edge-Controlled Opening and Closing of the Hardware Gate
In the case of the edge-controlled gate function, the hardware gate is opened by a positive edge at input I0. The gate is closed by a positive edge at input I1. In the event of positive edges occurring simultaneously at both inputs, an opened gate is closed or a closed gate remains closed. If input I1 is set, a positive edge at input I0 cannot open the gate. The same applies analogously for counter 2 (inputs 2I0 and 2I1).
Status of Inputs I0 and I1
The status of inputs I0 and I1 are indicated by the green LEDs I0 and I1 and within the user program in bit STS_STA and STS_STP of the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL.
9-17
Figure 9-6 shows opening and closing of the software gate.
Counter status 1 Count pulses SW_GATE Bit set Bit reset 2 3 4 4
Figure 9-6
Opening and Closing of the Software Gate
The software gate is opened and closed by setting and resetting the SW_GATE input parameter of the FC CNT_CTRL. The closed gate can be reopened by setting input parameter SW_GATE again. Edge-controlled opening and closing of the software gate is not possible.
Status of the Software Gate
The status of the software gate is indicated in bit STS_SW_G of the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL.
You can also terminate the count with the gate stop function of the relevant counter regardless of the signals applied or the status of the software gate. For this purpose, set the GATE_STP input parameter of the FC_CNT_CTRL. If you reset this parameter, you can only open the gate again by a positive edge at input I0 (hardware gate) or by setting the SW_GATE (software gate) input parameter again.
Process Interrupt
Opening and closing of a gate (hardware or software) can be used to initiate a process interrupt (see Chapter 9.11).
Default Setting
In the default setting, all gates are open and the count pulses are counted.
9-18
9.10 Command: Set Counter
Introduction
If you want to start the count from a specific value (the load value), you must parameterize the signal that is to be used to set this counter to the load value. You can set the counter as follows:
S With the L_DIRECT input parameter of the FC_CNT_CTRL S With an external signal either via input I2 or via the input in conjunction
with the zero mark of the encoder. This section describes the different methods and the time sequence when setting a counter.
Load Value
For the load value you can parameterize a number within the count limits of the count mode. The load value is interpreted in accordance with the count mode selected. If you specify FFFF FFFF H as the load value, for example, the number is interpreted as 4,294,967,295 in 32-bit mode, and as 1 in +31-bit mode. The load value is entered in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL.
Setting the Counter via the User Program
You can set a counter with the FC CNT_CTRL using the L_DIRECT input parameter regardless of external events. This can also be done while a count is in progress. If you set the counter via the FC_CNT_CTRL call, this can initiate a process interrupt.
Setting the Counter with an External Signal
You can select two different external signals with which you can set a counter to the load value:
S Input I2 only S Input I2 and zero mark of the encoder

You use the zero mark of the encoder if you want to synchronize the counter to a specific counter status at a specific point in your process. This achieves greater accuracy in the count. The counter is set independently of the operating mode. After the counter has been set with an external signal, bit STS_SYNC in the DB is set.
9-19
Note Synchronization of a counter with zero mark only makes sense if the gate is open. If you have only enabled one count direction when setting a counter with an external signal, you must note that when the gate is closed the current count direction is saved (frozen). This enables synchronization of the counter against the enabled count direction.
Process Interrupt
Setting the counter with an external signal can be used to initiate a process interrupt.
Setting the Counter with Input I2
A counter can be set with the load value via a rising edge at input I2. You can determine the behavior of the FM 350 in the case of a positive edge at input I2 via the ENSET_UP and ENSET_DN variables in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL and via parameterization.
Bit ENSET_UP set ENSET_DN set Behavior of the FM 350 The counter is only set in the case of up counting The counter is only set in the case of down counting The counter is set in the case of up and down counting Behavior of the FM 350 The counter is set only at the first rising edge at input I2. If the counter is to be set again, you must first set ENSET_UP or ENSET_DN again. The counter is then set again with the next positive edge at input I2. The counter is set at every rising edge at input I2 as long as ENSET_UP and/or ENSET_DN are set.

Note You must always set one of the two variables ENSET_UP and/or ENSET_DN so that the relevant counter can be set via input I2.

Single Setting with Input I2
Figure 9-7 shows single setting of counter 1 with input I2. The same applies for counter 2 with input 2I2. In the situation represented, only ENSET_UP is set, that is, the counter is set in the case of up counting. With the first rising edge at input I2, the counter is set as long as ENSET_UP is set. If you want to reset the counter, you must first reset the ENSET_UP and set it again. The next positive edge at input I2 then results in the setting of the counter.

Only when you have set ENSET_UP again, will the next positive edge at input I2 result in the setting of the counter.

Setting the Counter with the Zero Mark
If you parameterize setting of a counter with the zero mark of the encoder, the counter will be set with the rising edge of the zero mark. Setting is only carried out if input I2 of the relevant counter is set at the time of the rising edge of the zero mark. You can determine the behavior of the FM 350 in the case of a rising edge of the zero mark via the ENSET_UP and ENSET_DN variables in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL and via parameterization.

If the counter is to be set again, you must first set ENSET_UP or ENSET_DN again (edge evaluation). The counter is then set again with the next rising edge of the zero mark. The counter is set at every rising edge of the zero mark as long as ENSET_UP and/or ENSET_DN are set.
Parameterization Multiple setting of counter
Note You must always set one of the two variables ENSET_UP and/or ENSET_DN so that the counter can be set with the zero mark.
Single Setting with Zero Mark
Figure 9-9 shows single setting of the counter with the zero mark. In the situation represented, only ENSET_UP is set, that is, the counter is set in the case of up counting. With the first rising edge at input I2, the relevant counter is set as long as ENSET_UP and input I2 are set. If you want to set the counter anew, you must reset ENSET_UP and then set it again. If input I2 is not set, setting takes place with the first zero mark after setting of I2. If input I2 is set, setting takes place with the next zero mark.

9.11 Initiating a Process Interrupt
Introduction
With the FM 350, you can set which events are to initiate a process interrupt. For this purpose, parameterize the FM 350 interrupts in the parameter assignment screen forms.
What is a Process Interrupt
If you want to program a response to a specific event independently of the CPU cycle, each counter of the FM 350 can initiate a process interrupt. The CPU interrupts the cyclic program on receiving the interrupts and executes the process interrupt OB 40.
Which Events Can Initiate a Process Interrupt?
The following events during operation of the FM 350 can initiate a process interrupt:
S Opening of the gate (in the operating modes with hardware or software
gate)
S Closing of the gate (in the operating modes with hardware or software
gate)
S Overflow S Underflow S Reaching comparison value 1 in the up direction S Reaching comparison value 1 in the down direction
S Reaching comparison value 2 in the up direction S Reaching comparison value 2 in the down direction S Zero pass S Setting the counter with an external signal
You can select any number of events for process interrupt initiation. For process interrupts on reaching the comparison value, you must observe the marginal conditions on page 9-14.
Enabling the Process Interrupt
You enable the interrupts for the module in the parameter assignment screen forms when configuring the hardware and you decide whether the module is to initiate a diagnostics interrupt and/or a process interrupt.
Process Interrupt OB, OB 40
If a process interrupt occurs, the user program is interrupted, the data is transferred from the module to the start information of OB40 and OB40 is called. The process interrupt is acknowledged by exiting OB40. If there is no OB40 programmed, the CPU goes to STOP. If you then switch back to RUN, the process interrupt requirements are deleted.
9-24
Start Information
The temporary variable OB40_POINT_ADDR is written in the start information of OB40. The variable OB40_POINT_ADDR (bytes 8 to 11) consists of four bytes. The information concerning the event that has initiated the process interrupt is entered in bytes 8 and 9. Table 9-5 shows which bits are set for which interrupt. All unlisted bits are not significant and are set to zero.
Table 9-5 Byte Assignment of the Bits of the Variable OB40_POINT_ADDR Bit Meaning: Interrupt in the Case of...

Lost Process Interrupt If an event occurs that is to initiate a process interrupt and the same previous event has not yet been acknowledged, no further process interrupt is initiated; the process interrupt is lost. This can result in the diagnostics interrupt Process interrupt lost depending on the parameterization.
Default Setting
No process interrupt is parameterized in the default setting.

10.1 Overview
Introduction
The count signals that the FM 350 can process are rectangular signals generated either by incremental encoders or by signal encoders. Incremental encoders scan a grating and so generate rectangular electrical pulses. They differ in pulse height and in the number of signals. Pulse encoders such as light barriers or initiators (BEROs) supply only a rectangular signal with a specific voltage level.
Connecting Different Encoders
You can connect different encoders to the FM 350 for supplying the pulses for the count signals. Table 10-1 gives an overview of the different encoders and the corresponding signals.

5 V Differential Signals
Incremental 5 V Encoder
The incremental 5 V encoder supplies the differential signals A, A, B, B and N, N to the module in accordance with RS 422, where the signals A, B and N are the inverted signals of A, B and N. The signals A and B are phase-shifted by 90 each. In the case of the incremental 5 V encoder, tracks A and B are used for counting. Track N is used for setting the counter to the load value if parameterized accordingly. Encoders with these six signals are known as symmetric encoders. Figure 10-1 shows the time sequence of these signals.
Signal A Signal A Signal B Signal B Signal N Signal N Direction of count Up Down
Figure 10-1 Signals of the Incremental 5 V encoder
The module recognizes the direction of count from the ratio of signal A to B. The figures in the next section (Pulse Evaluation) show which edges of signals A and B are counted in the down or up direction.

Changing the Count Direction How are the Signals Monitored?
You can change the signals B and B via parameterization and so change the count direction without having to change the wiring. The module monitors for cable connection and for wirebreak or short-circuit. Via parameterization, you can determine which of the three signal pairs are monitored. You therefore need not wire unused signals if diagnostics for this signal pair has been switched off via parameterization (set counter with zero mark). If all three signals report errors, either the encoder is defective, there is a short-circuit in the 5.2 VDC encoder supply or there is no encoder connected. If the module detects an error after you have assigned your parameters, an entry is made in the diagnostics data sets DS0 and DS1. This can result in a diagnostics interrupt if the relevant parameters have been assigned.
Coding Connector
For this encoder, you must set the coding connector to position A.

10.3 24 V Signals
24 V Incremental Encoder
The incremental 24 V encoder supplies the signals A*, B* and N* in the same time ratio as the signals A, B and N in the case of the 5 V incremental encoder. Signals with a voltage of 24 V are indicated with an asterisk (*). The signals A* and B* are phase-shifted by 90 each. Encoders that do not supply inverse signals are known as asymmetric encoders. In the case of the inputs of 24 V encoder signals, you decide via parameterization whether you connect source outputs or sink outputs to the counters. See the encoder description for further information on this point. You can also change the count direction via the Invert, not invert parameter in the same way as for the incremental 5 V encoder.
24 V Pulse Encoder Without/ With Direction Level
The encoder, for example an initiator (BERO) or a light barrier, supplies only one count signal that must be connected to terminal A* of the front connector. Additionally to this, you can connect a signal for direction detection to terminal B*. If your encoder does not supply a corresponding signal, you can generate and connect a corresponding ID within the S7 or you can use a corresponding process signal. Figure 10-2 shows the sequence over time of the signals of a 24 V pulse encoder with direction level and the resulting count pulses.

Signal A* Signal B * as direction level Up count pulses Down count pulses Figure 10-2 Signals of a 24 V Pulse Encoder with Direction Level Down Up
The count direction is defined via the parameterization of the encoder inputs. Table 10-2 shows how the count direction changes in dependence on the input parameterization.

Unswitched Short-circuited to ground
When selecting the encoder, you must select the Frequency and direction parameter. Changing direction by inverting the B* signal is not possible with these count signals. Note With this type of evaluation, the count value in the case of an oscillating count signal can run away at the edge since all the signals are added together.
Input Filters for 24 V Count Inputs
To suppress interference, you can parameterize input filters (RC elements) with a uniform filter time for the 24 V inputs A*, B* and N* and for the digital inputs. The following two input filters are available:
Table 10-3 Input Filters Features Typical input delay Maximum count frequency Minimum pulse width of the count signals Input Filter 1 (Default) 1 ms 200 kHz 2.5 ms Input Filter 2 15 ms 20 kHz 25 ms

How are the Signals Monitored? Coding Connector
24 V count signals are not monitored for wirebreak or short-circuit.
For this encoder, you must set the coding connector to position B.

10.4 Pulse Evaluation
Introduction
The counters of the FM 350 can count the edges of the signals. Normally, the edge at A (A*) is evaluated (single evaluation). To achieve a higher resolution, you can decide via parameterization whether the signals are to have single, double or quadruple evaluation. Multiple evaluation is only possible in the case of incremental 5 V encoders with signals A and B displaced by 90, or in the case of incremental 24 V encoders with signals A* and B* displaced by 90.
Single Evaluation
Single evaluation means that only one edge of A is evaluated; up count pulses are captured on a rising edge of A and low level at B, and down count pulses are captured on a falling edge of A and low level at B. Figure 10-3 shows single evaluation of the signals.

Down
Figure 10-3 Single Evaluation

Double Evaluation Double evaluation means that the rising and falling edge of signal A are evaluated; whether up or down count pulses are generated depends on the level of signal B. Figure 10-4 shows double evaluation of the signals.

Quadruple Evaluation
Quadruple evaluation means that the rising and falling edges of A and B are evaluated; whether up or down count pulses are generated, depends on the levels of signals A and B. Figure 10-5 shows quadruple evaluation of signals.

DB for the FC CNT_CTRL
All data belonging to one channel of the module are stored in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL. The data structure and the length of the DB are defined by the UDT 1. Before the module is parameterized, the DB must be assigned the following valid data (see Section 6.1 Prerequisite):
S Module address (address 6.0) S Channel starting address (address 8.0) S User data length (address 12.0)
The DB has been generated from the UDT 1 as a data block with the associated user-specific data type. The DB assignments resulting from this are shown below. The variables in the DB that you must/can enter or read out while working with the FM 350 are shaded gray in Table 11-1.

12-8

Parameter Meaning LogChannel LoadVal Logical channel number, detected by M7CntInit Load value
The function transfers the load value specified at the time of calling direct to the counter channel. Thereafter, the counter channel is started via the software gate.
The function only works error-free in the counter operating modes with software gate control. In the operating modes with hardware gate control, an operating error is signaled but the load value is transferred anyway. In the case of the operating modes with hardware gate control, use the M7CntLoadDirect or M7CntLoadPrep functions to load the counter channel. Default: the counter channel is preset with 0 and stopped. The load value is interpreted depending on the count mode set for the counter channel. Please ensure that the load value specified is within the count range of the count mode set (cf. Table 12-1). 0 00 The function has been executed successfully An error has occurred
Error Code Meaning The counter channel cannot be started in this operating mode (with hardware gate control). The channel specified when calling (LogChannel parameter) is not valid.

Description
Note
Return Value

Parameter Meaning LogChannel CmpV1 CmpV2 Logical channel number, detected by M7CntInit Comparison value 1 Comparison value 2 SelCmp1 SelCmp2 Selection bit for comparison value 1 Selection bit for comparison value 2
You can transfer the two comparison values CmpV1 and CmpV2 to the counter channel in each case using this function. The selection bits SelCmp1 and SelCmp2 determine whether the associated comparison value is to be transferred (SelCmpx = TRUE) or not (SelCmpx = FALSE). - If SelCmp1 = TRUE and SelCmp2 = TRUE, both comparison values can also be transferred simultaneously in one function call. If one selection bit is FALSE, the associated comparison value will not be transferred and the old value is retained. Default setting: The comparison values are set to 0 as default.
12
The comparison values are interpreted in accordance with the count mode set for the counter channel. Please ensure that the load value specified is within the count range of the count mode set (cf. Table 12-1).

12.9 M7CntLoadPrep
Function
Prepare Loading of the Counter Channel
Syntax
#include <m7cnt.h> M7ERR_CODE M7CntLoadPrep( M7CNT_LOGCHANNEL LogChannel, DWORD LoadVal);
Description
Note
12
Return Value 0 00 The function has been executed successfully An error has occurred
Error Code M7CNTE_NO_LOGCHANNEL Meaning The channel specified when calling (LogChannel parameter) is not valid.
See Also
12-12

The function transfers the load value (LoadVal) specified when the call was made, into the counter-internal load register. From there, the load value is transferred into the counter channel and counted further from there if:
S a hardware pulse is present at the SET or START input S an overflow or an underflow occurs (and a periodic operating mode is set) S the M7CntStart function is called
The load value is interpreted in accordance with the count mode set for the counter channel. Please ensure that the load value specified is within the count range of the count mode set (cf. Table 12-1). You can then read the current load value with the M7CntReadLoadValue function. However, the function only supplies the new load value when one of the three conditions has occurred and one count pulse has been received.
Function: M7CntInit, M7CntLoadAndStart, M7CntLoadDirect, M7CntReadLoadValue
12.10 M7CntPar
Function
Parameterize Counter Channel
Syntax
#include <m7cnt.h> M7ERR_CODE M7CntPar( M7CNT_LOGCHANNEL LogChannel, M7CNT_PARAM_PTR pCntParam);
Description
Note
Return Value

Parameter Meaning LogChannel pCntParam Logical channel number, detected by M7CntInit Pointer to the structure M7CNT_PARAM with the parameterization data
The function is called if the current parameters of the counter channel are to be changed. Before calling the function, you must enter the desired parameterization data in the M7CNT_PARAM structure. After this, the function is called to parameterize the counter channel specified. The new settings become effective immediately.
When the M7CntPar function is called, the current parameterization data are always completely overwritten and part parameterizations cannot be made. Any previously stored enable of the inputs or outputs will also be lost as a result of reparameterization. This means that the M7CntEnableSet and, for example, M7CntEnableOut functions may need to be called again after M7CntPar Reparameterization overwrites already set comparison values and the load value. In addition, counter pulses may be lost when reparameterizing with the M7CntPar function. In the FM 450-1, the other channel remains unaffected by reparameterization. Errors in parameter assignment result in initiation of a diagnostics interrupt.

Faults and Diagnostics
13
This Chapter...
Operator errors, incorrect wiring or contradictory parameterization (position of the coding connector does not match parameterization) can cause faults that the module must indicate to the user. Faults are divided into the following classes on the module:
S Faults displayed by the group error LED that indicate internal and external module faults.
S Faults that can initiate a diagnostics interrupt. S Operator errors.

These different classes of faults are indicated and displayed at different positions and must be acknowledged in different ways. You will find the following described in this chapter:
S The faults that can occur S Where these faults are indicated S How you acknowledge the faults.
Chapter Overview
Section 13.1 13.2 13.3 13.4 Contents Fault Indication via the Group Error LED Initiation of Diagnostics Interrupts Data Errors Operator Errors Page 13-2 13-3 13-6 13-7
13-1
13.1 Fault Indication via the Group Error LED
Where is the Fault Indicated?
If the red group error LED lights up, a fault has occurred either on the module (internal fault) or at the cable connections (external fault).
Which Faults are Indicated?

Type of Fault/LED Internal faults
The following faults are indicated by the group error LED lighting up:
Cause of Fault Fault in EPROM TEST Fault in RAM TEST Watchdog tripped Lost process interrupt Module parameterization missing Change module Change module Change module Acknowledged by process interrupt handling Assign parameters and transfer Correct the position of the coding connector Remedy
External faults
Coding connector wrongly connected
Auxiliary voltage 1L+/1M not connected Correct connection or 24 VDC encoder supply short-circuited 5.2 VDC encoder supply short-circuited or overloaded Fault in 5 V encoder signals (wirebreak, short-circuit, cable missing) Correct connection Correct connection
Module parameterization does not match Correct parameterization and transfer, or reconnect the coding connector the position of the coding connector
Initiating a Diagnostics Interrupt
All faults except the EPROM test fault, can initiate a diagnostics interrupt provided you have enabled the diagnostics interrupt in the relevant parameter assignment screen form. You can see which fault has caused the LED to light up from the diagnostics data sets DS0 and DS1. The assignments of the diagnostics data sets DS0 and DS1 are described in the next section.
13
13-2
13.2 Initiation of Diagnostics Interrupts
What is a Diagnostics Interrupt?
If a user program is to respond to an internal or external fault, you can parameterize a diagnostics interrupt that stops the cyclical program of the CPU and calls the diagnostics interrupt OB (OB82).
Which Events Can Initiate a Diagnostics Interrupt?
The list shows you which events can initiate a diagnostics interrupt:
S External auxiliary voltage 1L+/1M short-circuited or overloaded S Fault in 5.2 VDC encoder supply S Module parameterization missing S Error in module parameterization S Watchdog tripped S RAM defective S Process interrupt lost S Fault in signal A (wirebreak, short-circuit, cable missing) S Fault in signal B (wirebreak, short-circuit, cable missing) S Fault in signal N (wirebreak, short-circuit, cable missing)
Enabling the Diagnostics Interrupt
You disable or enable the interrupts for the module in the parameter assignment screen forms and you decide there whether the module is to initiate a diagnostics interrupt and/or a process interrupt.
Responses to a Diagnostics Interrupt
If an event occurs that can initiate a diagnostics interrupt, the following happens:
S The diagnostics information is stored in diagnostics data sets DS0 and

DS1.
S The group error LED lights up S The diagnostics interrupt OB is called (OB82). S The diagnostics data set DS0 is entered in the start information of the
diagnostics interrupt OB.

S The count continues unchanged.

If OB82 has not been programmed, the CPU goes to STOP.
Diagnostics Data Set DS0 and DS1
The information as to which event has initiated a diagnostics interrupt is stored in the diagnostics data sets DS0 and DS1. The diagnostics data set DS0 comprises four bytes; DS1 comprises 12 bytes with the first four bytes being identical to DS0.
13-3
Reading the Data Set from the Module
The diagnostics data set DS0 is automatically transferred to the start information when the diagnostics OB is called.These four bytes are stored there in the local datum (bytes 8 to 11) of OB82. You can read out diagnostics data set DS1 (and so also the contents of DS 0) from the module with the FC DIAG_INF. It only makes sense to do this, if a fault in a channel is signaled in DS0.
Assignments of the Diagnostics Data Set DS0 in the Start Information

How Does the Diagnostics Text Appear in the Diagnostics Buffer?
If you want to enter the diagnostics message in the diagnostics buffer, you must call the SFC 52 Enter user-specific message in diagnostics buffer in the user program. The event number of the diagnostics message in each case is specified in the input parameter EVENTN. The interrupt is entered in the diagnostics buffer with x=1 as incoming and with x=0 as outgoing. The diagnostics buffer contains the relevant diagnostics text in the Meaning column as well as the time of the entry.
Default Setting
The diagnostics interrupt is disabled in the default setting.

13.3 Data Errors
When Do Data Errors Occur?
If new parameters are transferred to the module, the FM 350 checks these parameters. If errors occur during this check, the module signals these data errors. Wrong parameters are not accepted by the module.
Where are Data Errors Indicated?
The FC CNT_CTRL enters the data errors with their error numbers in the DB of the FC CNT_CTRL. You can access this data word in the user program via variable identifier DA_ERR_W. Table 13-3 shows the number of the data errors and the meaning of these errors.
Table 13-3 No. 0 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 211 212 215 No error Coding connector wrongly connected or missing Value too great for receiver selection Value too great for diagnostics of signal pair Value too great for signal evaluation Value too great for input filter of the 24 V counter signals Value too great for the input filter of the digital inputs Change of direction not permissible Value too great for behavior of the digital output Q0 Value too great for behavior of the digital output Q1 Pulse duration wrong or too long Wrong operating mode selected No gate specified or both gates specified When parameterizing the process interrupt Reaching the comparison value in up or down count direction, a different count direction was specified to that specified in the parameterization of the behavior of the outputs Output active for one pulse duration in up or down direction. The directions must agree. Interrupts from the gate control only possible in the operating modes with gate control. In the case of the behavior of the digital outputs Active between the comparison value and overflow or Active between comparison value and underflow, no interrupt is permissible on reaching the comparison values.

How are Data Errors Acknowledged?
Correct the values for the parameters in accordance with the specifications. Transfer the corrected parameter set again to the FM 350. The FM 350 checks the parameters again and deletes the data error in DB.
13-6
13.4 Operator Errors
When Do Operator Errors Occur?
Operator errors occur when you operate the module wrongly by setting incorrect control signals.
Where are the Operator Errors Indicated?
The operator error numbers are entered in DB by the FC CNT_CTRL. You can access this data word in your program via the variable identifier OT_ERR_B.
What Operator Errors Exist?
Table 13-4 shows the possible numbers of the operator errors and their meaning.
Table 13-4 Numbers of the Operator Errors and their Meaning Meaning No error Operating mode cannot be started with software gate Operating mode cannot be aborted Only permissible if OD is active

Glossary
Asymmetric Signals
Asymmetric signals are two pulse trains phase-shifted by 90 degrees and with a zero mark signal if required.
Configuration
Assignment of modules to mounting racks, slots and addresses. When configuring the hardware, the user fills in a configuration table under STEP 7.
Double Evaluation
Double evaluation means that the rising edges of pulse trains A and B are evaluated on an incremental encoder.
Encoders
Encoders are used for precise acquisition of, among others, rectangular signals, paths, positions, velocities, rotational speeds, weights, etc.
Encoders with Asymmetric Ouput Signals Encoders with Symmetric Output Signals
Encoders with asymmetric output signals generate two pulse trains phaseshifted by 90 degrees and with a zero mark signal if required.
Encoders with symmetric output signals generate two pulse trains phaseshifted by 90 degrees, with a zero mark signal if required, and the corresponding inverted signals.
Function (FC)
In accordance with IEC 1131-3, a function (FC) is a code block without static data. A function makes it possible to transfer parameters in the user program. This makes functions suitable for programming frequently recurring complex functions.
Function Module (FM)
A function module (FM) is a module that offloads the CPU of the S7 and M7 programmable controllers of time-critical or memory-intensive process signal handling tasks. FMs normally use the internal communications bus for highspeed data exchange with the CPU. FM applications include: Counting, positioning, closed-loop control.
Incremental Encoders
Incremental encoders capture paths, positions, speeds, rotational speeds, weights, etc., by counting small increments.
Glossary-1
Glossary
Increments per Encoder Revolution Initiator
Increments per encoder revolution specifies the number of increments that an encoder gives in one revolution.
An initiator is a simple BERO switch without direction information. It therefore supplies only a counter signal. Only the rising edges of signal A are counted. The count direction must be specified by the user.
OD
The output disable (OD) signal switches all modules in an S7 programmable controller to the safe state in the STOP and HALT operating modes. Examples of safe states are when the outputs are not live or when they are switched with replacement values.
Power Control
The power control drives the motor and can consist, for example, of a simple contactor circuit.
Pulse Duration
The pulse duration specifies the minimum time for which an output is to be set.
Quadruple Evaluation
Quadruple evaluation means that all edges of the pulse trains A and B are evaluated on an incremental encoder.
SFC
An SFC (system function) is a function integrated in the operating system of the CPU that can be called in the STEP 7 user program when required.
Single Evaluation
Single evaluation means that the rising edge of pulse train A is evaluated on an incremental encoder.
STOP
STOP is an internationally recognized term, for example, as an operating mode command.
Zero Mark
The zero mark is located on the second track of an incremental encoder. The zero mark supplies a zero mark signal after each revolution.
Zero Mark Signal
The zero mark signal is output by an incremental encoder after every revolution.
