Description
The CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP can execute STEP 7 blocks
as well as blocks and applications programmed with
C/C++ (CPU function library) in the user program.
You can create the CPU function library and Linux C/C++
Runtime application with the "ODK 1500S Open Devel-
opment Kit" (ODK).
Using the ODK provides you with the mechanisms of
higher programming languages (e.g. object-oriented)
within a modern programming environment.
You can use Target 1500S for Simulink and ODK 1500S
to create CPU function libraries in C/C++ for your com-
plex open and closed-loop control.
The system automatically generates the alarms for
system diagnostics and outputs the alarms via a pro-
gramming device/PC, HMI device, the web server or the
integrated display. System diagnostics information is
also available when the CPU is in STOP mode.
The web server allows you to access CPU data over a
network. Evaluations, diagnostics, and modifications
are thus possible over long distances. Monitoring and
evaluation is possible without STEP 7; only a web
browser is required. Make sure that you take appropri-
ate measures (e.g. limiting network access, using fire-
walls) to protect the CPU from being compromised.
The trace functionality supports the troubleshooting
and/or optimization of the user program.
You record device tags and evaluate the recordings with
the trace and logic analyzer function. Tags are, for ex-
ample, drive parameters or system and user tags of a
CPU.
The device saves the traces. If necessary, you can read
the traces with the configuration system (ES) and save
them permanently. Thus, the trace and logic analyzer
function is suitable for monitoring highly dynamic pro-
cesses.
The trace recording can also be displayed via the web
server.
