3.1 Overview
Communication between the SIMOTION device and the Line Module takes place via the
internal PROFIBUS DP (for SIMOTION D4x5/D4x5-2) or the external PROFIBUS DP or
PROFINET (for SIMOTION C, P, D with subordinate SINAMICS S120 CU320/CU320-2).
From SIMOTION V4.2 onward, the symbolic assignment is activated as standard for newly
created projects. For this purpose, no message frames must be configured for the infeed.
If the symbolic assignment is deactivated, SIEMENS message frame 370 must be configured
for use of the _LineModule_control function block function. Addresses from 256 are
recommended for configuring the Line Modules, where I/O variables are used for the write and
read I/O access procedures.

3.2 Addressing the Line Module for SINAMICS S120

3.2 Addressing the Line Module for SINAMICS S120

Creating I/O variables

In the SIMOTION user project, two I/O variables with the configured Line Module I/O addresses
must be created for the purpose of reading the status word (ZSW) and writing the control
word (STW) of the configured Line Module.
The I/O variables must be created in the symbol browser in SIMOTION SCOUT. You are free
to choose any names for them. The following shows an example of an Active Line Module
created as I/O variable myperiInAlm and myperiOutAlm . These are also used in the application
example: refer to the chapter titled Example of an application (Page 31).

Activated symbolic assignment

In the case of activated symbolic assignment, create the I/O variables in the address list as
follows:
1. Create two I/O variables in the address list (e. g. myperiInAlm and myperiOutAlm), see
Figure "Assigning an I/O variable".
2. The status word must be assigned to the I/O variable myperiInALM. For this purpose, select
the entry "IN" as the I/O address and under data type select the entry "empty" or WORD.
In the "Assignment" column, click on the "..." button.

3. Highlight the status word under infeed and confirm by pressing "OK".

Figure 3-2 Highlighting the status word

The I/O variable is assigned to the status word.

4. Repeat steps 2 to 3 for assigning the control word with the I/O variable myperiOutAlm.
The I/O variables are now assigned to the status and control word.

Figure 3-3 Assigned I/O variables in the address list

Continue with the chapter entitled Parameter transfer at FB _LineModule_control (Page 15).

Deactivated symbolic assignment

In the case of deactivated symbolic assignment, proceed as follows to determine the
addresses of the Line Module:
1. In the project navigator, double-click "Communication" followed by "Message frame
configuration" underneath the SINAMICS drive unit.
2. The "PZD message frames" window opens. Check whether message frame 370 is selected
for the infeed. Click on "Set up address". The assigned addresses of the message frames
are then displayed. Select the start address for the input data (see figure below).

Note
Make sure that the addresses are accepted correctly from the message frame configuration.
In your user project, when the _LineModule_control FB is called you must assign these two
I/O variables to the periIn and periOut input/output parameters. Only once you have done
this will the Line Module status word that has been read be transferred to the FB, and the
output data prepared by the FB for the control word be transferred to the Line Module.

4.1.3 Function description

At the typeLM input parameter, specify the type of Line Module to be controlled. In exceptional
cases, e.g. generic blocks for modular machines, automatic detection of the Line Module can
also be configured.
At the selectedLM output parameter, the selected Line Module or the Line Module determined
in the _LineModule_control FB is displayed.
A rising edge at the enable input parameter switches on the Line Module.
The switch from TRUE to FALSE at the enable input parameter switches off the Line Module.
Errors present at the error output parameter must be acknowledged with a rising edge at the
reset input parameter. Only the error is acknowledged. Once the error has been successfully
acknowledged, the Line Module must be switched on again using a rising edge on the
enable input parameter. The Line Module will not be switched on if errors are present
(error = TRUE) while there is a rising edge at the enable input parameter. The error must be
acknowledged first.
The error reset and the enable can also be executed together. Setting enable and reset from
FALSE to TRUE simultaneously first acknowledges a pending error and then switches on the
Line Module.
● If an error has been acknowledged with reset = TRUE and no others errors are pending,
error = FALSE and errorID = 0.
● If an error is still present, error = TRUE remains and the errorID will be updated.

4.1.4 Manual selection of the Line Module

Select the Line Module to be controlled via the parameter typeLM :
● typeLM = ACTIVE_LINE_MODULE
● typeLM = SMART_LINE_MODULE
● typeLM = BASIC_LINE_MODULE
If no errors are present, the Line Module selected at the typeLM input parameter will be
switched on when there is a rising edge at the enable input parameter.
The _LineModule_control FB does not check the selected Line Module. The
_readDriveParameter() system function is not called in the _LineModule_control FB. The FB
does not evaluate the moduleAddress input parameter in this case.

4.1.5 Automatic detection of the Line Module (only in exceptional cases)

General information
In exceptional cases, e.g. generic blocks for modular machines, automatic detection of the
Line Module type can be configured:
typeLM = AUTO_DETECT

Note
When using this function, you must take potential programming conflicts with other parallel
DPV1 jobs into account, e.g. from the library functions used. Manual selection is
recommended for familiar Line Module types.

If the user sets the typeLM input parameter to AUTO_DETECT, the _LineModule_control FB
automatically detects the type of Line Module once when there is a rising edge at the enable
input parameter. In this mode, the _readDriveParameter() system function is called internally
in the FB and the type of Line Module is determined by means of a parameter request. For
this function, the configured Line Module address must also be specified at the moduleAddress
input parameter (see Section "Determining the Logical Address of the Line Module").
Otherwise, the _readDriveParameter() system function called by the _LineModule_control FB
will signal an error. In the case of error "50001" at the errorID output parameter, the stateRdPar
output parameter will contain specific information on the error from the _readDriveParameter()
system function.

Note
You must ensure that only one parameter request is ever active for each drive unit
(e.g. SINAMICS Integrated, CU320, CX32). Otherwise, conflicts with other DPV1 jobs may
arise, e.g. from the library functions used. Any additional requests sent to the same drive unit
will be rejected with the error 16#FFFF81C7 (on output parameter functionResult of the
parameter job or on output parameter stateRdPar of the _LineModule_control FB).

Standard function for SINAMICS S120 line modules

20 Function Manual, 04/2014
 Programming
4.1 _LineModule_control function block

In the case of automatic Line Module detection, no parameter requests from the user program
may be active at the drive unit of the Line Module when there is a rising edge at the enable
input parameter. If the Line Module type cannot be determined automatically, an error is
generated and the Line Module is not switched on.
You can recognize an active parameter request in the _LineModule_control FB from the values
0x00007001 or 0x00007002 in the stateRdPar output parameter.
The values 0x0000000 or FFFF8xxx (parameter request aborted with an error) in the
stateRdPar output parameter indicate that the _LineModule_control FB is not processing any
parameter requests internally.
For additional information on acyclic reading and writing of parameters (using DP-V1 services)
with the _readDriveParameter() system function, please refer to the SIMOTION
Communication System Manual, as well as the SIMOTION D4x5 Commissioning and
Hardware Installation Manual, Section "Acyclic communication with the drive".

Effect of the _readDriveParameter() system function in the _LineModule_control FB

The _readDriveParameter() system function enables the _LineModule_control FB to determine
the type of Line Module when typeLM is set to AUTO_DETECT. For this purpose, the system
function reads out parameter r107 of the Line Module. Parameter r107 indicates the Line
Module type.
The parameter is read out once before the start of the Line Module switch-on sequence.
Once the Line Module type has been successfully read out, the switch-on sequence is
executed.
If the Line Module type is read out incorrectly, the error output parameter is set to TRUE, the
selectedLM output parameter is set to NOT_DEFINED, and the switch-on sequence is not
started. Additionally, more detailed information on the error is specified in the errorID and
stateRdPar output parameters.

Requirement for reading out the Line Module type/call:

The _readDriveParameter() system function call starts when there is a rising edge at the enable
input parameter and typeLM is set to AUTO_DETECT for the _LineModule_control FB. The
system function is called repeatedly until either 0x00000000 (OK) or 0xFFFF8xxx (parameter
request aborted with error) is signaled at its output parameter, functionResult.
During the read process, the values 0x00007001 (first call) or 0x00007002 (intermediate call)
are output (parameter request active).
All values of the functionResult output parameter of system function _readDriveParameter()
are output in exactly the same format at the stateRdPar output parameter of the
_LineModule_control FB. The error functionResult = 0xFFFF81C7 (parameter request active)
is an exception to this rule. This error is only output once a timeout has expired at the output
parameters of the _LineModule_control FB (see the "Timeout behavior" description below).
You can use the stateRdPar output parameter to execute (start/end) reading of the internal
FB parameters.

Timeout behavior in relation to the _readDriveParameter() system function:

Standard function for SINAMICS S120 line modules

Function Manual, 04/2014 21
Programming
4.1 _LineModule_control function block

If a parameter request from a user or from the SIMOTION device is already active at the Line
Module (functionResult = 0xFFFF81C7 error message), the parameter is read out repeatedly
within a timeout period of 1 s.
The stateRdPar output parameter of the _LineModule_control FB remains at
value 0x00007002 during the repeated readout process taking place within the timeout.
The parameter is only read again if there is a functionResult = 0xFFFF81C7 error. If the system
function signals any other errors, an error is output immediately at the _LineModule_control
FB and the parameter reading process is aborted with the _readDriveParameter system
function.
If the functionResult = 0xFFFF81C7 error is still present once the timeout period has elapsed,
the following error is output at the output parameters of the _LineModule_control FB:

error = TRUE
errorID = 50001
stateRdPar = 0xFFFF81C7
selectedLM = NOT_DEFINED

Output parameters in relation to the _readDriveParameter() system function:

Parameters of the Task

stateRdPar Output the functionResult output parameter of the _readDriveParameter()
system function
selectedLM Output the Line Module type determined
If a parameter has been assigned incorrectly (e.g. the wrong module address)
or an error occurs during parameter reading, this output parameter will be set
to NOT_DEFINED.

Determining the logical address of the Line Module

If you are using the automatic detection method, you need to assign a value for the module
address (logical address) of the Line Module at the moduleAddress input parameter of the
_LineModule_control FB (see Chapter Determining the module address (Page 22)).

4.1.6 Determining the module address

To select a diagnostic interrupt in the PeripheralFaultTask, the module address (logical
address) of the Line Module must be determined and made readily available in a variable.
In the case of activated symbolic assignment, determine the module address using the system
function _getLogicalAddressOfIoVariable from the name of the I/O variable for the status or
control word of the Line Module.

Standard function for SINAMICS S120 line modules

22 Function Manual, 04/2014
 Programming
4.1 _LineModule_control function block

In the case of deactivated symbolic assignment, proceed in the same way as for determining
the addresses of I/O variables, but this time determine the module address for the status and
control word of the Line Module. Use the same address value (start address of input data) in
the same way as for I/O variables for the status and control word of the Line Module, see

4.1.8 Task integration (call)

The _LineModule_control FB is designed to be called in a cyclic task and must be called in
this task during each task pass. Processing a job can take several cycles. The user decides
which cyclic task of the _LineModule_control FB the call is made in. No restrictions are applied
with respect to the functionality of the _LineModule_control FB.

Procedure
Proceed as follows to work with the _LineModule_control function block in your user project
(the numbers shown in the program segment below correspond to the steps listed):
1. Create an instance of the _LineModule_control function block.
2. Call the function block instance and transfer input parameters.
3. The output parameters of the function block are accessed with <instance name of
FB>.<name of output parameter>.
4. The data for the I/O outputs (control word of the Active Line Module) prepared by the FB
must be assigned by the user program to the I/O variables for the purpose of writing the
control word. It is recommended that you use the _setSafeValue system function for this
assignment task.

4.3 Error messages

4.3 Error messages

The value TRUE at the error output parameter indicates an error status in the Line Module.
More details of the error are provided at the errorID output parameter. The assignment of the
error cause is made in this output parameter.
If an internal Line Module (200xx group) fault occurs, the user must read out the exact cause
using the appropriate SIMOTION system functions, e.g. _readDriveFaults.
For a detailed description of the system functions, refer to the SIMOTION System Functions/
Variables Device Parameter Manual. This document is provided as part of the
SIMOTION SCOUT scope of delivery in electronic format.

Error groups
The errors signaled in the errorID output parameter may be allocated to the following error
groups:

Group 100xx: A time-out is present.

The Line Module does not respond to the _LineModule_control FB
commands, or responds too late.
Group 200xx: An internal Line Module fault is present.
"Fault active" bit of the Line Module status word = TRUE
The exact cause of the error must be read out using the appropriate
SIMOTION system functions (e.g. _readDriveFaults).
Group 300xx: The Line Module has withdrawn the "Controlled by PLC" bit in the status word
during operation.
Group 400xx: An error occurred during a reset.
Group 500xx: An error occurred during the execution of the _readDriveParameter() system
function used internally by the _LineModule_control FB. More detailed error
information can be obtained from the statusRdPar output parameter.

Error messages

Note
Statuses S1 to S4 are contained in the errorID output parameter while the Line Module is in
the process of being switched on or off.
You can find the meanings of the statuses (S1 to S4) described in the table below in the
Appendix Flow diagrams for switching the Line Modules on and off (Page 35).
For explanations relating to the status and control word of SINAMICS S120 Line Modules,

The exact cause of the error must be read out using the appropriate SIMOTION system functions
(e.g. _readDriveFaults).
30000 While there was a rising edge on the enable input parameter, the "Controlled by PLC" bit in the status
word of the Line Module was set to FALSE. This means that the command could not be performed.
300xx The Line Module has reset the "Controlled by PLC" bit in the status word. The FB resets all bits in the
Line Module control word and waits for new commands.
● 3000x: The "Controlled by PLC" bit in the status word was reset to Status x (S1...S4) when
switching on.
● 300x0: The "Controlled by PLC" bit in the status word was reset during operation or when switching
off to Status x (S1…S4).
Example:
30002: The "Controlled by PLC" bit in the status word was reset during switching on to Status S2.
40001 While there was a rising edge on the resetinput parameter, the "Controlled by PLC" bit in the status
word of the Line Module was set to FALSE. This means that the command could not be performed.
40003 While there was a rising edge on the reset input parameter, the Line Module did not reset the "Fault
active" bit in the status word, even though the "Acknowledge error" bit was set in the control word.
50001 Only relevant if input parameter typeLM = AUTO_DETECT
An error occurred during the execution of the _readDriveParameter() system function.

5.1 General

Calling the application example

The application example can be found on the "SIMOTION Utilities & Applications" DVD.
"SIMOTION Utilities & Applications" is provided free of charge and as part of the
SIMOTION SCOUT scope of delivery.
1. Dearchive and open the project containing the application example.
2. Check the axis configuration:
3. If necessary, modify the example project.
4. Save and compile the example project. You can then download the example to the
SIMOTION device and switch to RUN mode.

Adapting the application example

The address of the Line Module in the frame configuration must match the addresses of the I/
O variables in the application example. To enable selection of a diagnostic interrupt in the
PeripheralFaultTask, the address of the Line Module must be adapted in a subsequent variable.
You must adapt the following settings where necessary:
● Address of I/O variables myperiInAlm and myperiOutAlm (default: 256), see Chapter
Addressing the Line Module for SINAMICS S120 (Page 12)
● myAlmModuleAddress(default: 256)
In the case of activated symbolic assignment, determine the module address via the system
function _getLogicalAddressOfIoVariable, see Chapter Determining the module address
(Page 22).

StartUpALM program
In the StartUpAlm program, a flag for the initial run is set and then evaluated in the
BackgroundTask. This allows for the implementation of a standard start-up sequence for not
only the STOP – RUN transition, but also an appropriate user request.

BackGrndALM program
The BackGrndALM program contains 2 program sequences for switching the Active Line
Module on and off. In both sequences, the switch-on/switch-off procedure is monitored for
errors and tested to ensure it has completed successfully.
The switch-on procedure for the ALM is initiated using a positive edge on the mySwitchOn
variable. The steps that follow involve testing the switch-on procedure to ensure it has
completed successfully and checking it for errors. The mySwitchOn variable is set to FALSE
once the switch-on procedure has begun.
The switch-off procedure for the ALM is initiated using a positive edge on the mySwitchOff
variable. The value of the mySwitchOff variable is then set to FALSE. The step that follows
involves testing the procedure to ensure it has completed successfully and checking it for
errors.
Any errors that occurred during processing are displayed in the myError and myErrorId global
variables and can be reset using the myAlmCtrl_In.reset variable.

PeripheralFaultALM program
If the module triggering an error is the ALM, the start information for the PeripheralFaultTask
is written to the myPftTsi global variable. If the start information evaluation produces a
diagnostic or process alarm signaled by the ALM, this is displayed in the myDiagnosticAlarm
or myProcessAlarm global variable.
