Receiving and archiving the data records in S7-200

Table 4-2
No.
1. The central processing unit of S7-200
"Backup" receives data of S7-200 "Basis"
in an input buffer.
2. The structure of the data to be received is
emulated in the data block of S7-200
"Backup" using the "Data-Log" wizard. A
data record includes 20 data fields with
process value and time stamp.
3. The "DAT0_WRITE" function block for
starting the archiving process provided by
the "Data-Log" wizard is called if all 20
data fields have been received and if
consistency is ensured.
4. If the archiving process is started, the
"Data-Log" wizard writes the data records
from the data block into the 256 KB
memory cartridge. During each call a
new data record is added to the already
existing archive data. If the memory
cartridge is full, the oldest archived data
records are overwritten.
5. Via the S7-200 Explorer integrated in
STEP 7 MicroWIN, the process values
with time stamp can e.g. be read via
Microsoft Excel and further processed.
Note To show the functionality of data storage on the 256 KB memory
cartridge in this Micro Automation Set 14, data are frequently written to
the memory cartridge (approx. every 20 seconds). Due to the limited life
of approximately 1,000,000 write procedures of the memory cartridge,
longer backup intervals should be used for industrial use.
