User Controls - Siemens SIMATIC S5 Manual

IP 265
Interface to another IP 265
The results obtained in one IP 265 can be processed by the other IP 265.
The expansion enables you to
- nearly double the program capacity,
- double the number of inputs and outputs.
You can define the IP 265 function easily at the programmer/PC.
- Generation of the IP 265 user program
- Generation of a program section of the CPU user program for control of IP 265 program
execution.
The printer is used for documenting the IP 265 user program. You can print out the complete
user program including a symbols list.

User Controls

Only with the programmer/PC can you influence the IP 265 and its functions direct.
Please bear in mind:
The control of the overall system must be shared by the CPU user program and the IP 265 user
program. You can additionally determine the control of IP 265 program execution in the CPU user
program.
Serial COM software is available for starting up the IP 265. COM 265 enables user-friendly
programming and function testing of the IP 265 for your special application.
COM 265 is incorporated in the STEP 5 environment of the programmer. However, COM 265 is not
invoked like conventional SIMATIC-COM packages via the STEP 5 command interpreter on the
basis of the PCP/M-86 operating system. COM 265 is supported by the MS-DOS operating system
and can only be operated in connection with a specific S5 emulator for programmers
( Section 8.1). COM 265 runs on the PG 730, PG 750 and PG 770 programmers.
Generally, COM 265 can also be used on a PC. In Section 8.1 and in Appendix D of the manual,
you will find all the necessary information on operating COM 265 on a PC.
The CPU is programmed by means of the STEP 5 STL/LAD/CSF package (invoked via STEP 5
command interpreter). Since the IP 265 can only be used together with the S5-100U, S5-90U/95U
and the ET 200U, we assume that you have a manual for one of these systems available. The basic
knowledge provided there is sufficient for starting up the IP 265 together with the CPU.
Note
If you use a standard program to define the function of the IP 265, you do not require
COM 265. The standard program cannot be changed by means of COM 265.
