Defining the System Signals

Once you have broken down the drilling operation into individual steps, you should
then define the input and output parameters for each step. The basis of the
concept design is the technological drawing and the flowchart.
Defining Inputs and Outputs
List the inputs and outputs for the drill in the form of a table.
If you want to program symbolically, enter the required symbolic names (for
example input I 0.4 "Cl_press_ok") for the absolute inputs and outputs and any
comments that will make the program easier to understand (for example
"Workpiece clamping pressure reached").
In the drill example, it is assumed that the switches and contactors of the drill are
controlled via the inputs and outputs of the digital input/output module of the
S7-300 programmable controller. The input/output module has 8 inputs and 8
outputs. The default values of the input and output addresses of the module
inserted in slot 4 are as follows: I 0 to I 0.7 and Q =0.0 to Q 0.7.
