GOT-F900 SERIES (CONNECTION)
20.5.3
Supplementary Items
1) Data register specification
Define data blocks for the SIMATIC S7-300 Series PLC CPU using the STEP7 in advance, and
download them to the CPU.
2) I/O relay
The English (IEC) expression is used in the GOT-F900.
When the German (SIMATIC) expression is selected in the STEP7, devices E, A and Z are
equivalent to I, Q and C respectively.
3) Device check range
Because the GOT-F900 does not discriminate the CPU type between the S7-300 Series CPU and
the S7-400 Series CPU, the device range is in accordance with "devices which can be monitored".
For the device range which can be set in the GOT-F900, refer to section 2.3.
4) Peripheral equipment for the SIMATIC S7-300/400 Series
The STEP7 is the name of the programming software for the SIMATIC S7-300/400 Series.
