Notes on the FCs for an S7-300 and S7-400
S S7-300:
With older versions of the Ethernet CPs, the data length per job is restricted to
<=240 bytes (applies up to block version V3.0 of AG_SEND / AG_RECV).
With the latest versions of the Ethernet CPs, only FCs AG_SEND and
AG_RECV are used; due to a new and more efficient internal protocol, the data
up to 8192 bytes can be transferred.
S S7-400:
With FCs AG_SEND / AG_RECV the data length per job is restricted to <=240
bytes.
Longer data records (up to 8192 bytes) can be transferred with FCs
AG_LSEND or AG_LRECV.
Please check the supported data area in the device-specific Part B of this manual
for the S7-CP you are using. You will find an overview of the versions of the
FCs/FBs in the documentation and block history.
