2.4 Starting up the PLC program
Automation
The process of generating a series archive can be automated (comparable to the command
interface in STEP7). In generating this series archive, the command interface is expanded.
The following functions are available for this expansion:
The functions (shown here in VB script) are not available until server instantiations and
Magic have been called:
Const S7BlockContainer = 1138689, S7PlanContainer = 17829889
Const S7SourceContainer = 1122308
set S7 = CreateObject("Simatic.Simatic.1")
instantiate rem command interface of STEP 7
Set S7Ext = CreateObject("SimaticExt.S7ContainerExt")
Call S7Ext.Magic("")
Functions:
Function Magic(bstrVal As String) As Long
Function MakeSeriesstart-up(FileName As String, Option As Long, Container As
S7Container) As Long
Description
Function Magic(bstrVal As String) As Long
Call gives access to certain functions. The function must be called once after server
instantiation. The value of bstrVal can be empty. This initiates a check of the correct STEP7
version and path name in Autoexec. The functions are enabled with a return parameter of 0.
Return parameter (-1) = incorrect STEP 7 version
Return parameter (-2) = no entry in Autoexec.bat
Function MakeSeriesstart-up(FileName As String, Option As Long, Container As
S7Container) As Long
"Option" parameter:
0:
Bit 0 = 1:
Bit 1 = 1:
22
Normal series start-up file with general reset
Series startup file without general reset. When project contains SDBs, this
option is inoperative.
A general reset is then always executed.
Series start-up file with PLC restart
