Generating a System Configuration File
This section describes the procedure for generating a system configuration
file (system.txt) and details any operating system specific differences in
behaviour of the development packages.
First, the file must contain LOCAL declarations for all modules that run on the
host computer. As a minimum this must include the SSDS module and the
timer module. Hence the following declarations must exist:
LOCAL
LOCAL
LOCAL declarations are required for any optional modules that run on the
host. Typically, this includes s7_mgt and the user's own application module.
It may also include host-based protocol modules and the s7_log utility. For
example:
22
0x20
0x00
0xcf
0x2d
0x20
* ISUP module
0x20
* TUP module
0x22
0x20
* MTP3 module
0x71
0x20
* MTP2 module
0x10
0x20
* CT bus/Clocking control module
0x8e
0x20
* On-board management module
0xdf
0x2d
* LIU/MTP2 status messages -> upe
0xef
0x2d
* Other indications -> upe
ssds.exe
tim_nt.exe
tick_nt.exe
s7_mgt.exe
upe.exe
0x20
* ssd / ssds - Board interface task
0x00
* tim_xxx - Timer task
* ssd/ssds - Board interface task
* tim_nt - Timer task
* s7_mgt - Management/config task
* upe - Example user part task
