Programming the IP 265 with COM 265
Possible entries in the input fields of the COM265 "Defaults" form:
• Program name:
The IP 265 user program is stored as a program file. For file management purposes, each IP 265
user program must be assigned a name.
In the case of a new program, you can enter a program name comprising no more than five
characters in this field. If, for instance, an IP 265 user program has the name "TEST", COM 265
stores it in program memory under the name "TESTPIP.S5D".
If you want to process an existing program, select the name of that program from the selection
window for this input field.
• IP265 slot number:
COM 265 needs the IP 265's slot number for the on-line functions "Load via I/O bus" and "On-
line test".
• PLC footer file:
COM 265 has access to the PLC's footer file. A footer is a text which the programmer has the
printer add at the bottom of each printed page. Choose the desired footer file from the selection
window for this input field.
• PLC printer file:
COM 265 has access to the PLC's printer file. The printer file contains the printer parameters for
the printout (e.g. character size and number of lines per page).
Note
The PLC footer file and the PLC printer file are external files, and can be programmed
only with the STEP 5 software, not with COM 265. In order for COM 265 to have access
to both PLC files, they must be stored in (copied to) the same directory as COM 265.
• Drive:
Before calling one of the above mentioned files, you must tell COM 265 which drive it is on.
• Program type:
You may yourself specify whether an IP 265 user program is to be stored on a memory sub-
module as user program or as standard program.
In contrast to a user program, a standard program
- cannot be read back out of the memory submodule,
- is therefore not modifiable, and
- cannot be copied.
