Product Overview
Reading, matching or verifying code
SIMATIC VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr can read codes, match the entire code or part of it
with a trained code and relate (verify) the quality values of the currently read code
to the quality values of a trained code.
The entire read character string or only part of it (in other words, filtered) can be
output. When it is output, further characters can de appended at the start or end as
a prefix or suffix.
The SIMATIC VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr can operate both in standalone mode to
make good/bad decisions or as part of a control system to pass on the read codes
for further processing.

Product Overview
1.3 Processing Configuration
The objects with the code are fed past the sensor head with a suitable conveyor.
They must be located fully within the sensor field of view when being read.
In the training mode, the character content of the code is saved.
In the processing mode, the current code is read and, if required, compared with
the saved content of the trained code. The digital output signals are set according
to the read result: READ (code was localized and decoded), MATCH (code
matches the trained code), N_OK (code was not legible).
The read result is output over PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET IO or over the RS-232
interface of an RS-232 Ethernet interface converter or over a TCP server
depending on the parameter settings.
Triggering
To read the code, you must make sure that the code is completely within in the
sensor field of view and clearly visible.
The code is captured at the trigger time. In this case, you generate an exact and
debounced trigger signal at the trigger time, for example with a laser light barrier.
As an alternative, you can record the code without a trigger signal (trigger source
"endless"). In this case the code is output again only when there is a code change.
This is required, for example, with rotating parts if the exact position of the code is
not known.
You can check your settings with the setup support of the VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr.

Product Overview
1.6 The lamp multiplexer accessory
If there are varying lighting conditions in the vicinity of the sensor head, it is
sometimes advisable to work with different lamps at different times. You can
therefore connect up to 4 flash lamps to the Vision Sensor VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr
using he lamp multiplexer (6GF9 002-7BA).
Note
The lamp multiplexer can only be used if you have set the multilight mode. If you
not activate the multilight mode, you must connect your lamp directly to the
processing unit.
The lamp multiplexer is shown in the figure below.
Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr
A5E00475759-01 1-9
Product Overview
Connecting the lamp multiplexer
You connect to the processing unit as follows: Connect a lighting cable
(6GF9 002-8CE) to the LAMP socket of the processing unit and to the input socket
LIN. of the lamp multiplexer.
Connect each of the maximum four lamps to the lamp multiplexer over a lighting
cable. Lamp 1 is assigned to socket L1, lamp 2 to socket L2 etc.
Connect the socket connector "DI/DO" of the processing unit to the left-hand plug
connector "DI/DO" of the lamp multiplexer with the supplied special cable. You can
connect a digital communication cable (6GF9 002-8CB) to the right-hand plug
connector "DI/DO". Please remember that you must not then use the MATCH and
NOK signals. These are used to select a lamp.
Note
If you connect the lamp multiplexer with connected lamps to a
VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr while this is operating, this can lead to the processing unit
resetting itself in some situations.
Installing the lamp multiplexer
You have the following installation options:
• Wall-mounting using the two holes at the upper end of the lamp multiplexer
• Installation on a standard rail: In this case, screw the supplied rail adapter to
the back of the lamp multiplexer.

Product Overview
1.7 Requirements for Codes and Legibility
1.7.1 What is Required of Data Matrix and Vericodes?
General Requirements for Data Matrix and Vericodes to Ensure Readability
VS 130-2 can read data matrix codes with properties corresponding to those
published in the standard for data matrix codes. In many ways, VS 130-2 reacts
tolerantly even when certain basic properties are absent and is capable of dealing
with difficulties that are not specified in the standard.
As a result, VS 130-2 and VS 130-2vcr have a very wide range of application in
normal situations, a fact reflected in the following broad limits:
• It can read codes in which directly adjacent code points have a minimum
distance of only 5 pixels and up to a maximum distance of 35 pixels.
• The deviation of the sensor axis from the vertical can be between 0 ° und 40 °.
• The code field can approach the edge of the image up to a distance equivalent
to twice the code point diameter.
• The dominant polarity of the code points compared with the background is
required uniformly for all points (as it was during the training procedure). Slight
shadows or shiny areas are tolerated.
• The ratio of the distance to the closest neighbor and the diameter of any code
point can be between 2 and 0.8.
• Although code points must be printed according to a regular square grid
pattern, individual points can be displaced from their ideal position by up to 1/3
of the grid unit. Even slight parallelogram-shaped distortion is tolerated.
• With large-image but small-dimensioned codes, slight curves in the printed
material surface are tolerated. With high-value codes (for example, more than
14 x 14) or a strongly inclined sensor axis, curves are not allowed.
• Large tolerance of background disturbances that cannot be described
quantitatively
• Large tolerance of poor contrast conditions
• Due to the limited image resolution, codes with a maximum code dimension of
72x72 can be read.
In terms of these limit characteristics and when using minimum read rates due to
the requirements of the application (can be set with the "Cycletimelimit" parameter)
the tolerances are generally restricted, in some cases in stages, or other conditions
come into play. The limits described below are intended mainly as guidelines since
the actual conditions in a real application cannot be assessed accurately in
advance. It is therefore conceivable that higher read rates can be achieved even if
individual conditions are not fully adhered to.

Product Overview
Processing Method for Reliable Reading of Difficult Data Matrix Codes and
Vericodes
Settings:
• Speed = low
• Exposure = Manual or Auto V1 or Auto
The self-adapting recognition method of VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr allows the most
difficult codes to be read reliably. The most reliable detection is reached by
VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr when you make adequate time available for adaption by
setting a high cycle time limit.
The recognition method is designed for a variety of practical situations in which
various aspects of the read configuration cannot be considered ideal. For example:
• Any alignment and position of the code in the image
• Reading codes even when dots overlap or are largely isolated
• Reading codes recorded mirror-inverted
• Tolerance of distortion, due for example to inclined installation of the image
sensor (view angle down to a lower limit of approximately 50° to the printed
surface)
• Resistant to similar-looking foreign objects in the area of the code
• Resistant to interference patterns (grooves, granularity) in the area of the code
• Good tolerance of contrast fluctuations
• Good range of imaging size from 5 to 35 pixels per dot
Rectangular or square codes (with data matrix codes with maximum dimensions of
72 x 72 dots) can be read, whereby the brightness polarity (bright on dark or dark
on bright) is unimportant.
If individual conditions are particularly favorable and stable in a concrete situation
(and therefore less effort is required for internal adaption), the read rate of
VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr can reach a peak of 20 per second. You can influence this
by setting the "Speed" and "Cycle time limit" parameters as described below.

Product Overview
Processing Method for Fast Reading of Data Matrix Codes and Vericodes with a
Guaranteed Read Rate up to 5Hz
Settings:
• Speed = medium
• Exposure:
- = Manual: guaranteed read rate of 5 Hz
- = Auto V1 and Auto: guaranteed read rate of 3.3 Hz
These read rates are achieved under the following conditions:
• The code dimension must not be greater than 40 x 40 dots.
• The code must be positioned so that there is always a clearance of at least 3
dots to the edge of the image.
• The code should not make contact with any other objects in the image (keep
the quiet zone free!)
• To allow the code to be found quickly, there must be no other objects (bus
structures count here as well) in the image with enclosed rectangle and of a
comparable size to the trained code. (See also the two following figures.)
• The minimum dot size is 5 pixels per dot without restrictions.
• The view angle must be greater than 70°.
The following figure shows you an illegal constellation for guaranteed read rates:
Two neighboring objects in the image have a rectangular border of a size similar to
that of the code.

A5E00475759-01 1-13
Product Overview
The following figure shows you a legal constellation for guaranteed read rates: All
neighboring objects are clearly of a different size from the code. In this case,
rotation of the code from exposure to exposure would be acceptable since there is
no rectangle of another object that is compatible with the largest possible rectangle
around the code.
Note
Operating and monitoring via the setup support can lead to longer cycle times.
Processing Method for Fast Reading of Data Matrix Codes with a Guaranteed
Read Rate of 20Hz
Settings:
• Speed = high
• Exposure = manual (due to the short processing times, automatic exposure is
not possible with this method.)
These read rates are achieved under the following conditions:
• The illumination must be stable enough so that automatic shutter control is not
necessary.
• The code dimension must not be greater than 20 x 20 dots.
• Since the image is recorded "undersampled", the dots of the code must have a
minimum size of 10 pixels
• The code must be positioned in the sensor image so that there is always a
clearance of at least 3 dots to the edge of the image.
• The code must not make contact with any other objects in the image, the quiet
zone must be kept free.
• To allow the code to be found quickly, there must be no other objects (bus
structures count here as well) in the image with enclosed rectangle and of a
comparable size to the trained code. (See also the two following figures.)
• The diameter of the dots must be uniform over the entire code field. The
contrast between dots and the background must be approximately the same
over the entire code field.

3.1 Installing Components for VS 130-2
Step Activity
1 A Arrange the sensor head so that reflections are kept to a minimum. The angle of its central
axis should be typically 15° from vertical (angle α) (permitted range of angles for data matrix
and Vericode: 0 ≤ α ≤ 40°, for QR and PDF417 code: 0 ≤ α ≤ 30°).

A5E00475759-01 3-1
Installation
Step Activity
1b If there is still too much reflection at an angle of 15°, select an arrangement in which the
sensor head and the ring flash are not concentric.
Note:
The mechanism for mounting the ring flash is not supplied with the product.
If the ring flash does not meet your requirements, please contact your sales partner who will
be able to recommend other suppliers of lighting for the VS 130-2C.
1c With both arrangements, maintain a clearance between the end of the sensor head and the
code to be read that is suitable for the lens you are using.
Caution:
If you have a large code area and the sensor is inclined at a large angle to the code area and
there is only a short distance between the sensor and code area, this can lead to image
distortion and diminished recognition performance.
2 Install the processing unit so that it is easily accessible for the operator.
3 Install the external triggering unit, for example a light barrier.
4 Start the setup support on the PG/PC, and switch the processing unit to the Adjust mode. You
then see an image as seen by the sensor head.
• Check the trigger signal. by selecting the "Trg. only" check box in the "Read settings"
group of the "Adjust" task. Check whether VS 130–2 can read the codes with the sensor
head and ring flash in the current position. If necessary, correct the trigger point and/or
position of the sensor head.
• Select suitable values for the shutter speed and brightness. The image should not be too
bright.
Caution: If Exposure is set to Auto V1 or Auto, the code must remain fully in the image for at
least 100 ms.
As soon as after "Recognition" the message "Successfully finished" appears, the code has
been successfully decoded. You will see the result of the read in the "Result" box.

3.3 Guidelines on Interference-Proof Installation
To avoid interference, you must shield your system. Low-frequency (LF) and high-
frequency (HF) interference signals can result in an incorrect response if the
system is badly grounded or not shielded.
Interference signals can be caused, for example, by switching relays or contactors
(high rates of change in current or voltage, HF interference signals) or by different
ground potentials between two parts of a system (LF interference signals).
Using / Installing Interference-Proof Cable
• Always use the included patch cord to connect the sensor head.
• All plug-in connections must be secured by screws or a locking mechanism.
• Signal lines must not run parallel to power cables. A separate cable channel
must be used with a minimum clearance of 50 cm from power cables.
Note
For more detailed information, refer to the installation manual SIMATIC S7-300
Programmable Controller, Hardware and Installation in the section on "Wiring".
3.4 Guidelines for Installing PROFIBUS DP or
PROFINET I/O
If you are using PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET I/O (to control the device and/or to
transfer the results) the installation and configuration guidelines must be kept to.
You will find this information in the installation manual SIMATIC S7-300

5.1 Overview
There are two basic ways of controlling the VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr:
• Using the Setup Support
• Using the Processing Unit
With a few exceptions, you can set all the parameters with either method. This is
illustrated based on the example of the "IP Mode" parameter:
• In the setup support, you will find this parameter in the "Connections" task in
the "Interfaces" tab in the "Ethernet" group in the "IP Mode" drop-down list box.
• On the processing unit, it is available at the ADJUST menu level (Connect >
Ports > Ethernet > IP Mode).
5.2 Working with the Processing Unit
The display of the processing unit is used to display the currently read code and to
navigate through the menus and make entries.

5.3 Working with the Setup Support
To make use of the setup support of SIMATIC VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr, the following
requirements must be met:
• PC/PG with the Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system with
Internet Explorer 6.0 and Microsoft Java VM or Sun Java VM (see also
www.java.sun.com/J2SE) version J2SE 1.3.1 or J2SE 1.4.2_06 or J2SE 5.0
• Intel or compatible processor, minimum Pentium 133 MHz
• Graphics card/monitor with at least 65536 colors and a resolution of at least
640*480 pixels(The pages of the setup support are optimized for 65536 colors
and a resolution of 1024*768 pixels.)
• Ethernet port with up to 100 Mbps (protocol: TCP/IP)
To work with the setup support on the processing unit, you must establish a
connection from your Web browser (for example Internet Explorer) for setup
support. How to establish a connection is described in detail in the online help in

Note
If the DISA bit is set, in other words, when VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr is controlled by a
programmable controller, you must log on at the processing unit as follows:
1. Make sure that only one PC accesses the processing unit (red lock with
green D).
2. Place the mouse pointer on the currently logged-on user (top right) and click.
This brings you to the "Options Part 3/4: Security".
3. Log on as a user ("User1" or "Service") who is allowed to take control of the
VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr ("Take control" check box selected). Remember,
however, that logging on accesses control of the VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr by the
programmable controller (only relevant for functions that require the DISA bit,
for example, change codes and train code).

Lighting & Acquisition.
The multilight function is only possible if you have connected a multiplexer and
more than one lamp. Enable the "Multilight" function in the "Lighting and
Acquisition" group box to be able to select the lamp used for the image capture
from the setup support. When using the multilight function, only one of the lamps
you select from the drop-down list box is ever active. In this mode, the result bits
cannot be output over the DI/DO interface.
Under "Autom. Exposure", you can decide whether the entire image area or a
smaller area (region of interest) is used to calculate the optimum exposure
parameters. You can change this region of interest by changing to the "Adjustment"
dialog and moving or scaling (only possible when "Freeze/ROI" mode is activated)
the red frame in the preview window.
With "Use shuttersp. offset", you decide whether or not the automatically calculated
exposure time is corrected by the value of the shutter speed offset (Part 2 of the
"Options" dialog).
Acceleration
In the "Speedup" group box, you make the settings to speed up image processing.
This is effective only when Speed = low (see Part 1 of the "Options" dialog).
You have the following options:
• Use ROI": The region of interest set in the "Adjustment" dialog is used in the
image processing.
• "Decoder order": Here, you specify the order of the code types in which the
processing unit attempts to decode a code when training, when reading
(without prior training) and in adjustment mode.
• With data matrix codes, there are the speedup parameters Polarity, Dimension
and View that can each have the value "trained" or "dynamic":
- Polarity:
When Polarity = "trained" is set, the processing unit does not decode the
read code if bright and dark dots are swapped over compared with the
trained code. When Polarity = "dynamic" is set, the processing unit
decodes the read code even if bright and dark dots are swapped over
compared with the trained code.
- Dimension:
If Dimension = "trained", the processing unit does not decode the read
code if the number of dots is different from the trained code. If Dimension =
"dynamic", the processing unit decodes the read code even if the number
of dots is different from the trained code.
- View:
If View = "trained" is set , the processing unit does not decode the read
code if it is mirrored compared with the trained code. If View = "dynamic" is
set , the processing unit decodes the read code even if it is mirrored
compared with the trained code.

Multicode
The "Multicode" mode allows you to capture and evaluate several images at the
same time with one trigger. To use this function, choose a code set number (1-14)
in the "Code set" drop-down list box and select the codes to be included in the
code set in "Contains codes". Based on the code set, the processing unit obtains
the settings with which the images will be captured at the first trigger and the
trained codes with which they will be compared.
At each further trigger, the processing unit starts at the image of the code that was
last read successfully. If no code can be read, the current decoding order is
maintained.
Note
If a code set contains a code number under which no code was previously trained,
you cannot use this code set for evaluation. With the "Info" job, you can see the
code number under which trained codes are stored in Part 2/4: Code(s).

5.4 Operator Control over Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
5.4.1 Prerequisites
To be able to operate the Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr over a
PDA, the following requirements must be met:
• WLAN-compliant PDA with the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system, for
example, Fujitsu-Siemens Pocket LOOX 610
• Macromedia Flash Player 6 is installed on the PDA
• Established connection between the PDA and the processing unit over a
WLAN router
How you establish this connection is described in Establishing a connection
between PDA and processing unit.
We recommend a work memory of 128 Mbytes or larger.
5.4.2 Establishing a Connection between PDA and Processing Unit
To establish a connection between PDA and processing unit, follow the steps
outlined below:
1. Install and configure your WLAN router.
You require an Ethernet connection between your PC and the router (for example,
Siemens Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable). Configure the router as DHCP server and, if
necessary, change its IP address. To set the configuration, you work in the user
interface of the router over a JAVA-compliant browser by entering the preset IP
address.
2. Configure the processing unit as a DHCP client.
You do this in the Connect> Ports> Ethernet> IP Mode menu by setting "DHCP".
3. Connect the WLAN router to the processing unit over an Ethernet cable and turn
the processing unit on. Then check the IP address assigned to the processing unit
by the router in the Connect> Ports> Ethernet> IP Address menu.
4. Enable Wireless LAN on your PDA.
Depending on the PDA, you will either have to install a wireless network adapter
or simply enable the Wireless LAN integrated on the PDA.

5.4.3 Starting or stopping setup support from the PDA
It is assumed that the connection between PDA and processing unit is established.
Proceed as follows:
1. Start the Internet Explorer on the PDA, enter the IP address in the "Address" input
box and then press "Enter".
The start page of the setup support appears.
2. Click on "Live image for PDA".
The user interface of the PDA for the VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr appears.
Note
If you have started the user interface of the PDA, you can only run the setup
support from a PC/PG in read-only mode.
If you want to terminate the connection to the processing unit, turn off the PDA.
Closing the Internet Explorer does not terminate the connection.
5.4.4 User interface of the PDA
Overview
The user interface consists of the following elements:
• Live image
• Text display row
• Operator input row with the mode button, the "Trg" trigger button (VS 130-2vcr
only) and the code selection.
Note
If there is a connection between the Web browser of a PC and the processing unit
or the VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr is being controlled by an automation system, all
buttons are disabled and "(Read Only Mode)" is displayed in the text display row.
As long as no physical connection can be established to the processing unit,
"Connecting…" is displayed.
The labeling of the buttons and their function depend on the current status of the
VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr. This also applies to the strings of the text display row. This
is explained in detail below.

5.4.5 Known PDA problems
Two known PDA problems are described below:
• The cache is full after some time.
The Web browsers of some PDAs have the unwanted tendency to store more
and more data in the cache as time goes on without releasing the memory
again. As a result, the Web browser no longer runs.
• If you click the "Close" button, the Web browser is removed from the screen of
some PDAs but continues to run in the background. In conjunction with the first
problem explained above, this soon leads to memory overflow.
You can counter these problems with the measures described below. Follow the
order of steps below and following each step, check whether the memory used has
been released again. If it is released, the remaining steps are unnecessary.
1. Exit the Web browser as follows: Start > Settings > "System" tab > Memory >
"Running Programs" tab, select "Internet Explorer" and click on the "Stop".
2. Internet Explorer: Tools > Options… > "Memory" tab, click on the "Delete Files"
button.
3. Turn the PDA off.
4. Run a soft reset on the PDA (usually by pressing a hidden button with a pen or
similar).
5. Run a hard reset on the PDA.

6.1 Introduction
As an alternative to controlling from the operator panel or using the setup support,
you can also control SIMATIC VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr from a programmable
controller. This makes it possible to train and work almost automatically.
Control over PROFIBUS DP and PROFINET IO is only possible with the VS 130-2,
control over the I/O interface "DI/DO", on the other hand, is possible with VS 130-2
and VS 130-2vcr.
Note
The automatic training and changing of codes by a programmable controller is only
possible with active setup support when in the "Options part 3/4: Security", the
check box "Take control" is not enabled for the current user.

6.2 Integrating the DP slave VS 130-2 in HW Config
The supplied device master data file SIEM8111.GSD contains the PROFIBUS
properties of the VS 130-2 DP standard slave. If you are using a STEP 7 version
earlier than V5.3 SP1, the Vision Sensor VS 130-2 is not yet in the modules
catalog in HW Config. In this case, you must add it to the catalog with Options >
Install GSD... . Remember that the corresponding bitmap file VS1X0__N.DIB must
be in the same folder as the GSD file.
You can download both files from the Internet at
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/llisapi.dll?func=cslib.csinfo&lang=de&o
bjID=10807086&subtype=133100.
The Vision Sensor VS 130-2 then appears in the modules catalog under
PROFIBUS DP \ Additional Field Devices \ General \ Machine Vision
(see screenshot below).
In the configuration example above, the control byte of the VS 130-2 was set to
output address 0 and the status byte of the VS 130-2 was set to input address 0 of
the CPU (DP master, slot 1). If these addresses are in the process image of OB1
(process image partition "OB1 PI"), you can work here in OB1 with process image
access (for example "A I0.6" or "S Q0.1"). If this is not the case, you must work
with direct I/O access (for example "L PIB 0").
In the configuration example above, the start of the 16 word long consistent
communication area of the Vision Sensor VS 130-2 was set to input address 1 and
output address 1 (slot 2). If these addresses are in the process image of OB1
(process image partition "OB1 PI"), you can work here in OB1 with process image
access (e.g. "L EW 2", "T AB 1"), without violating the consistency (This is only
valid for CPUs which transfer consistent user data per process image, see the note
below). If, on the other hand, these addresses are not in the process image of
OB1, you must access the communication area of the VS 130-2 using SFCs 14
"DPRD_DAT" and 15 "DPWR_DAT" to ensure consistency.
Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr
6-2 A5E00475759-01
Process Interface
Note
The consistent user data transfer per process image is supported by the following
S7 CPUs:
• from the CPU 318 and S7-400 CPUs as of firmware version V3.0.0
• from all S7-300 CPUs with MMC
for all other S7-300 and S7-400 CPUs, the mandatory installation of SFCs 14
"DPRD_DAT" and 15 "DPWR_DAT" is required.
The Vision Sensor VS 130 -2 detects the transmission rate on PROFIBUS
automatically. Even if the transmission rate has changed, this is detected
automatically. The following values possible:
• 9.6 Kbps
• 19.2 Kbps
• 45.45 Kbps
• 93.75 Kbps
• 187.5 Kbps
• 500 Kbps
• 1.5 Mbps
• 3 Mbps
• 6 Mbps
• 12 Mbps
The PROFIBUS address of the VS 130-2 is set in the Settings > Ports > DP Addr.
menu of the processing unit. Possible values are 1, ... 125.
Changing the PROFIBUS address via PROFIBUS is not supported.
If you assign parameter values to the Vision Sensor VS 130-2 via PROFIBUS, you
can only set its default values (all zero). If you enter values other than zero here, a
slave diagnostic message is generated ("Invalid DP parameters"). If you use an S7
CPU as the DP master, a diagnostic interrupt is triggered (no OB82 start because
the CPU is in STOP): "Faulty module" is entered in the diagnostic buffer and the
"SF" LED lights up.
If you encounter problems when integrating in HW Config, you will find information
on possible causes in Product description and Important Requirements for
Installation.

You will find the PROFINET properties of the I/O device VS 130-2 in the supplied
GSDML-V1.0-Siemens-VS130-2-20041021.xml (General Station Description) file. If
you are using a STEP 7 version earlier than V5.4, the Vision Sensor VS 130-2 is
not yet in the modules catalog in HW Config. In this case, you must add it to the
catalog with Options > Install GSD... . Remember that the corresponding bitmap

The Vision Sensor VS 130-2 is in the modules catalog under PROFINETIO \
General \ VS100 (see screenshot below).
In the configuration example above, the control byte of the VS 130-2 was set to
output address 0 and the status byte of the VS 130-2 was set to input address 0 of
the CPU (DP master, slot 1). If these addresses are in the process image of OB1

access (for example "A I0.6" or "S Q0.1"). If this is not the case, you must work
with direct I/O access (for example "L PIB 0").
In the configuration example above, the start of the 16 word long consistent
communication area of the Vision Sensor VS 130-2 was set to input address 256
and output address 256 (slot 2). If these addresses are in the process image of
OB1 (process image partition "OB1 PI"), you can work here in OB1 with process
image access (e.g. "L EW 2", "T AB 1"), without violating the consistency (This is
only valid for CPUs which transfer consistent user data per process image, see the
note below). If, on the other hand, these addresses are not in the process image of
OB1, you must access the communication area of the VS 130-2 using SFCs 14
"DPRD_DAT" and 15 "DPWR_DAT" to ensure consistency.

The Vision Sensor VS 130 -2 detects the transmission rate on PROFINET
automatically. PROFINET is operated in 100 Mbps full duplex mode.
Follow the procedures below when entering the device name for the
VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr:
Step Activity
1 In HW Config, open the properties window of the VS 130-2 and enter the device
name there. When you are done, save and compile the hardware configuration.
2 Inform the VS 130-2 of the device name you just specified. This is done in three
ways:
• In HW Config, select PLC > Ethernet > Assign Ethernet Address... and click
the "Browse" button. Following this, all the devices connected to the PNIO
system will be displayed (Caution: VS 130-2 must be in IP mode "PNIO"
otherwise it is not displayed!). Select the VS 130-2 using its MAC address
and identify it, if need be, using the "Blink" button (The "LINK" LED will blink
at the Ethernet connector on the VS 130-2.). Enter the device name and
click on the "Assign Name" button.
• Enter the device name directly in the processing unit (Connect > Ports >
PNIO > Devname).
• Assign and transfer the device name using the applet (Connections
Part 1/3: Ports, PROFINET IO, Device name parameter).
Note
When installing a CPU 317-2 PN/DP, in the individual network in the Properties
window of the PROFINET I/O system (slot X2) on the "Options" tab, you have to
select "Transmission medium/duplex": "Automatic Settings"
Attention
VS 130-2 does not support an update time less than 4 ms and cannot be set to
lower update times. If you are setting up the configuration with STEP 7 V5.3 +
SP1, the minimum update time for all PROFINET IO devices of the affected
PROFINET system changes to 4 ms.

Of the "Send" user data interface, bytes 1 to 31 are relevant, of the "Receive" user
data interface, only bytes 1 and 4 are relevant.
If these two user data interfaces are not located in the process image of OB1, you
must use SFC 14 "DPRD_DAT" during the data transfer from the "Send" user data
interface of the processing unit to the DP master to ensure data consistency. In the
opposite direction, SFC 15 "DPWR_DAT" must be used for data transmission from
the DP master to the "Receive" user data interface.

6.5.3 Sample program for data exchange if code length <= 27 bytes
Below, you will see an example program for data exchange when the code length
is a maximum of 27 bytes.
Note
The example program is only executable on the following S7 CPUs:
• on a CPU 318 and the S7-400 CPUs as of firmware version V3.0.0
• on S7-300 CPUs with MMC
for all other S7-300 and S7-400 CPUs, you have to use the SFC 14s and 15s for
all access to both user data interfaces.
Program information
Only the pure result string is output (data ID B#16#81).
The DP master or I/O controller does not check how many bytes the processing
unit has supplied, but always reads 27 bytes without any monitoring.
The start of the "Send" user data interface is at address 4 of the process image
input table. The start of the "Receive" user data interface is at address 4 of the
process image output table.
To ensure consistency over the entire range (32 bytes) there must be no process
image update during the program shown below.
The user data are stored in data block DB17 starting at byte 4.

6.5.4 Programming the Data Block
Handshaking
The following section introduces a handshake mechanism that ensures the
consistency of all the data sent from the processing unit to the DP master or
I/O controller regardless of any configured PROFIBUS or PROFINET consistency
mechanisms. This mechanism must be used for every transfer, even when this is
only from one data block, for example, when reading out the code number selected
on the VS 130-2.
Please remember to enter the required data ID in byte 4 of the "Receive" user data
interface before the first transfer.
Note
Handshaking is executable in the specified form only on the following S7 CPUs:
• on a CPU 318 and the S7-400 CPUs as of firmware version V3.0.0
• on S7-300 CPUs with MMC
for all other S7-300 and S7-400 CPUs, you have to use the SFC 14s and 15s for
all access to both user data interfaces.
Step Activity in the DP Master or I/O Controller User Program
1 Query byte 1 of the "Send" user data interface cyclically. As long as this byte has the value
0, there is no new data. If it has the value 1, go to step 2.
2 The value 1 in byte 1 of the "Send" user data interface means: VS 130-2 has started data
transfer.
Read the net total length of the data to be transferred from bytes 2 and 3 of the "Send" user
data interface and the user data of the first data packet from bytes 5 to 31.
3 Acknowledge correct receipt of the first data packet by writing the value 1 in byte 1 of the
"Receive" user data interface.
The processing unit polls byte 1 of the "Receive" user data interface. As soon as it reads the
value 1, it fills bytes 5 to 31 of the "Send" user data interface with the user data of the
second data packet and enters the number of this data package (in this case 2) in byte 1.
4 Query byte 1 of the "Send" user data interface cyclically. As long as this still contains the
number of the previously transferred data packet (1), there is no new data. As soon as byte
1 has the value 2 (number of the next data packet), go to step 5.
5 Read the user data of the second data packet from bytes 5 to 31.
6 Acknowledge correct receipt of the second data packet by writing the value 2 in byte 1 of the
"Receive" user data interface.
... ...
Last - 4 Query byte 1 of the "Send" user data interface cyclically. As long as this contains the number
of the last but one data packet, the data of the last data packet is not yet available. As soon
as byte 1 has the number of the last data packet, go to next step.
Last - 3 Read the user data of the last data packet from bytes 5 to 31.

Process Interface
Step Activity in the DP Master or I/O Controller User Program
Last - 2 Acknowledge receipt of the last data packet by writing the number of the last data packet in
byte 1 of the "Receive" user data interface.
The processing unit polls byte 1 of the "Receive" user data interface. As soon as it reads the
number of the last data packet, it writes the value 0 to bytes 2 and 3 of the user data
interface and also to byte 1. The value 0 in byte 1 signals the end of the current data transfer
to the DP master.
Last - 1 Query byte 1 of the "Send" user data interface cyclically. As soon as the value 0 is read, go
to last step.
Last Acknowledge correct receipt of all data by writing the value 0 in byte 1 of the "Receive" user
data interface.
Response to Problems, Time-outs, and Errors
The processing unit monitors the following:
• The time between the arrival of two acknowledgments from the DP master is
monitored for the time-out set in the Connect > Ports > DP > Timeout or
Connect > Ports > PNIO > Timeout menu.
• The correct sequence of the acknowledged data packets of the DP master or
I/O controller is monitored.
If an error occurs, the processing unit enters B#16#FF in byte 1 of the "Send" user
data interface and so aborts the current data transmission.
It is advisable to implement the following monitoring functions in the user program
of the DP master or I/O controller:
• Monitoring of the time between arrival of two consecutive data packets.
• Monitor the correct order of the data packets sent by the processing unit.
• Check whether the total length of the user data actually transferred matches
the net total length of data to be transferred as specified by the processing unit
at the start of the data transfer.
If an error occurs, writing B#16#FF to byte 1 of the "Receive" user data interface
causes the current data transmission to be aborted.

6.5.5 FB 79 "VS130-2_CONTROL"
Description
With FB 79 "VS130-2_CONTROL", you have a convenient means of
communication with SIMATIC VS 130-2. You simply specify the job and the block
handles communication over the public interfaces described in Integrating the
PROFINET IO Device VS 130-2 in HW Config.
The following bits of the control byte must be processed outside the FB.
• TRG (Trigger): Start Processing
• RES (Reset): Acknowledgment of an error (see Error Messages)
The FB monitors only the pure data traffic between VS 130-2 and the controller, in
other words, the DONE parameter does not provide any information on the actual
read result. To obtain a good/bad read evaluation, evaluate the following result bits
of the status byte:
• READ
• MATCH
• NOK
The following tasks are possible:
• Abort the current job
• Select Code
• Train a code
• Output the result string
• Output the position of the code
• Output the quality characteristics of the currently read code
• Output the number of the currently selected code
• Output the current mode of the VS 130-2
• Reset the DISA control signal
Whether or not a job can be correctly executed depends on the current mode of the
VS 130-2 and its parameter assignment. Which job is possible in which mode of
the VS 130-2 is explained below.
For almost all tasks, FB79 sets the DISA control signal for the VS 130-2 to TRUE.
This prevents the VS 130-2 from being controlled from the keyboard or an operator
panel at the same time. The exceptions are the four following tasks:
• Reset the DISA control signal
• Abort the current job. The FB does not change DISA.
• Output the number of the currently selected code. The FB does not change
DISA.
• Output the current mode of the VS 130-2. The FB does not change DISA.
Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr
A5E00475759-01 6-19
Process Interface
At the start of the new job, the output parameters are reset.
Caution: A multiple FB79 call with the same instance is not permitted.
Please note that with the parameters of the page "Connections Part 3/3:
Integration" (setup support) or the "Connect > Integrate" menu (processing unit),
you can influence the processing of the FB:
• If you want to use the FB to read a result string, the output of the result string
must be set on PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO. For the jobs "Change code"
(COMMAND =W#16#0001), "Train code" (COMMAND =W#16#0002) and
"Output the currently selected code" (COMMAND =W#16#0003, the number of
the selected code is requested by the processing unit. The output of the result
string must therefore be set on the PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO for this
reason.
• The ports for the DISA, SEL0 to SEL3, TRN, RES, IN_OP, TRD, RDY signals
must always be set to PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO.
• The port setting for the result bits READ, MATCH, NOK is irrelevant for the FB.
Note
If you use the FB, only the bits RES and TRG may be affected by your program in
the control byte of the processing unit. All other bits of the control byte are affected
by the FB.
How It works
FB79 "VS130-2_CONTROL" operates asynchronously; in other words, execution
can extend over several FB calls. You start execution of the job by calling the FB
with a job number higher than 0 .
Execution of the job is completed when ACTIVE takes on the value FALSE and
either DONE or ERROR takes on the value TRUE (positive-going edge). Please
remember that various jobs are handled in one CPU cycle and therefore ACTIVE
does not take on the value TRUE. This applies to the jobs "Read out mode" and
"Reset DISA bit". In some cases, it may also not be possible to detect an edge
change at DONE or ERROR.
You should therefore evaluate the DONE and ERROR parameters at each block
call. If the job was completed without error, DONE = TRUE. You should also
evaluate ERRCODE, in this case, to be informed of warnings from the FB.
As long as ACTIVE has taken on the value TRUE, you have to call the FB with
identical assignment of the COMMAND input parameters. During this time, is also
not possible to start a new job.
Read jobs are cyclical jobs. This means that after starting a job with
COMMAND=W#16#0081 to 008F, ACTIVE takes on the value TRUE. ACTIVE
retains this value as long as the job is aborted.
Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr
6-20 A5E00475759-01
Process Interface
The respective read cycle (that is, the transfer of a complete result string) is
complete when ACTIVE takes on the value TRUE and either DONE or ERROR has
taken on the value TRUE (positive-going edge). If you want to start an additional
job while a read job is running, you have to abort the read job. This occurs by
calling the FB with COMMAND=W#16#0000. In this case, ACTIVE does not take
on the value FALSE. Depending on whether a result string is being transferred or
not, either DONE or ERROR takes on the value TRUE. If ERROR takes on the
value TRUE, ERRCODE does not take on the value DW#16#00010007.
Note
If an error occurs, set the processing unit to the STOP mode, correct and
acknowledge the error. You can then set the processing unit back to RUN mode
with a code change in a trained code (COMMAND = W#16#0001).

Sequence when Aborting a Job (COMMAND = W#16#0000)
You can only abort read jobs:
• Read jobs (COMMAND = W#16#0081 to W#16#008F )
The block signals completion of the job abort with ACTIVE = FALSE.
If a transfer is active when the job is aborted, the transfer is aborted and the error
signaled with a suitable error message in the ERRCODE parameter. ERROR has
the value TRUE and DONE has the value FALSE. A transfer is active if DONE and
ERROR take on the value FALSE.
Is no transfer is active at the time of the abort, on completion of the job of the
ERRCODE parameter has value 0, ERROR has value FALSE, and DONE has
value TRUE.
Procedure for job change
If reading is currently selected and you want to execute a different job, you must
stop the currently active job (see above).

Sequence When Changing Codes (COMMAND = W#16#0001)
If the VS 130-2 is currently executing a read job, follow the steps below:
1. Call FB79 with COMMAND=W#16#0000. This stops output of the result string (job
W#16#0081).
2. Make a code change by calling FB79 with COMMAND=W#16#0001 and PARAM=
new code number.
When the job is started, the parameters DONE and ERROR have the value
FALSE. The ACTIVE parameter changes to the value TRUE.
The block changes the code selected on the VS 130-2 to the value specified in the
PARAM1 parameter.
It then queries the code currently selected on the VS 130-2 and outputs this in the
CODE_OUT parameter.
If the currently selected code matches the code specified in the PARAM1
parameter, the ACTIVE parameter has the value FALSE and the DONE
parameter the value TRUE.
If the currently selected code does not match the code specified in the PARAM1
parameter, the ACTIVE parameter has the value FALSE and the ERROR
parameter the value TRUE. The ERRCODE parameter contains an appropriate
error message.
There is also a check to determine if the code change has been blocked by a
"Service" or "User1" user logged on via the setup support who has taken control of
the VS 130-2 and if the newly selected code has been trained. If an error is
detected, the ACTIVE parameter changes to the value FALSE and the ERROR
parameter changes to the value TRUE. The ERRCODE parameter contains an
appropriate error message.
3. Call FB79 again cyclically with COMMAND= W#16#0081.
If you attempt to cancel during an ongoing code change, the ERRCODE parameter
takes the value DW#16#00000002 but the job is processed until the end.
Note
When the code is changed, the processing unit is set to STOP for at least 150 ms
(see Selecting Modes "Select code"). In exceptional cases, a code change can
take up to 15 seconds.
If you specify the value 0 for the PARAM1 parameter, the previously selected code
is retained.
The value of PARAM1 cannot be changed before the job is completed.
Note
The following parameters must be set to PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO to
process the job:
• Output the result string
• Port for the DISA, SEL0 to SEL3, TRN, RES, IN_OP, TRD, RDY signals

Sequence When Training a Code (COMMAND = W#16#0002)
To allow the FB to trigger training a code, the Connect > Integrate > Control
parameter must either have the value "DP" or the value "PNIO" on the processing
unit.
The job can only be sent when VS 130-2 is not in ERROR mode (refer to the mode
table following the parameter table).
When the job is triggered, the parameters DONE and ERROR change to the value
FALSE. The ACTIVE parameter changes to the value TRUE.
The block trains the code specified by the PARAM1 parameter.
Note
In exceptional cases, training a code can take up to 35 seconds.
The value of PARAM1 cannot be changed before the job is completed.
It then queries the code currently selected on the VS 130-2 and outputs this in the
CODE_OUT parameter.
If the currently selected code matches the code specified in the PARAM1
parameter, the ACTIVE parameter has the value FALSE and the DONE parameter
the value TRUE.
If the currently selected code does not match the code specified in the PARAM1
parameter, the ACTIVE parameter has the value FALSE and the ERROR
parameter the value TRUE. The ERRCODE parameter contains an appropriate
error message.
There is also a check to determine if the training has been blocked by a "Service"
or "User1" user logged on via the setup support who has taken control of the
VS 130-2 and if the training has been successful. If an error is detected, the
ACTIVE parameter changes to the value FALSE and the ERROR parameter
changes to the value TRUE. The ERRCODE parameter contains an appropriate
error message.
If you attempt to cancel during an ongoing training job, the ERRCODE parameter
takes the value DW#16#00000002 but the job is processed until the end.

The following parameters must be set to PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO to
process the job:

Sequence When Outputting the Currently Selected Code
(COMMAND = W#16#0003)
When the job is triggered, the parameters DONE and ERROR change to the value
FALSE. The ACTIVE parameter changes to the value TRUE.
The block then queries the code currently selected on the VS 130-2 and outputs
this in the CODE_OUT parameter.
If the transfer of the code number is free of errors, the ACTIVE parameter changes
to the value FALSE and the DONE parameter changes to the value TRUE.
Note
The following parameters must be set to PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO to
process the job:
• Output the result string
• Port for the DISA, SEL0 to SEL3, TRN, RES, IN_OP, TRD, RDY signals
Sequence When Outputting the Mode of the VS 130-2 (COMMAND = W#16#0004)
The block recognizes the current mode based on the status byte of the VS 130-2
and outputs this in the STATE parameter:
• If the IN_OP bit is not set, state 3 (ERROR) is output.
• If the IN_OP bit is set, but the RDY bit is not set, state 2 (STOP) is output.
• If the IN_OP bit is set and the RDY bit is set, state 1 (RUN) is output.
Following this, the DONE parameter changes to the value TRUE and ACTIVE
changes to the value FALSE.
Note
Since the job is completed in one CPU cycle, no edge change can be detected in
the ACTIVE parameter. If the DONE parameter already has the value TRUE from
a previous job, an edge change can also not be detected in this parameter.

The read jobs can only be sent when VS 130-2 is in RUN mode (refer to the mode
table following the parameter table).
In contrast to all other jobs, the read jobs are "permanent jobs". This means that
the ACTIVE parameter has the value TRUE even after fetching the current read
results and/or the current position and/or the quality characteristics from the
VS 130-2.

You should therefore evaluate the DONE and ERROR parameters at each block
call.
If the transfer was successful, DONE = TRUE. This only means, however, that the
transfer between processing unit and FB (CPU) has been completed error-free. In
order to find out if the DMC evaluation was successful, you have to evaluate the
bits READ (Bit 3), MATCH (Bit 4) and N_OK (Bit 5) in the status byte of the
processing unit. In this case, refer to the following table for the behavior of FB79.
You should also evaluate ERRCODE to be informed of warnings from the FB.
VS 130-2 Target Area RECV
The code could not be decoded. FB79 enters the string set in the "ReadErr" parameter.
The code was successfully decoded;
however, you have not set any
specifications.
FB79 enters the result string.
The code was successfully decoded
but does not match your
specifications.
FB79 enters the string set in the "MatchErr" or "FilterMsg"
parameter if the Match or Filter function is set. If both these
functions are selected, FB79 enters the string entered for
"MatchErr". For more detailed information on "MatchErr" and
"FilterMsg", please refer to Chapter 5.
The code was successfully decoded
and matches the specifications.
FB79 enters the result string.
Process the data entered in RECV before the next trigger otherwise the
consistency of this data cannot be guaranteed! You should also evaluate the
LENGTH parameter because the receive area is written only up to this length.
You can abort an active read job by calling FB79 with COMMAND = W#16#0000.
If an error occurs during execution of the job or while aborting an in-process read
job, ERROR = TRUE. In this case, the ERRCODE parameter contains a code for
the cause of the error that has occurred. FB79 writes B#16#00 to the RECV target
area.
Note
The following parameters must be set to PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO to
process the job:
• Output the result string
• Port for the DISA, SEL0 to SEL3, TRN, RES, IN_OP, TRD, RDY signals
Startup reaction
If an error occurs (ERRCODE <> DW#16#0000 0000), after calling an interrupt OB
(for example OB82) and after a STOP-RUN change on the CPU, you must initialize
the FB once with RESET=TRUE. Please enter a corresponding first call in your
user program.

Error Information
If an error occurred, ERROR is set to TRUE. The precise cause of the error is then
displayed in ERRCODE. Apart from this, there are also warnings with which
ERROR is set to FALSE. These indicate an error situation that does not lead to the
current job being aborted.
If ERRCODE <> DW#16#0000 0000 following an FB call, call the FB again with
RESET=TRUE to reset the error information in the FB.
Note
By calling the FB with RESET=TRUE, you only acknowledge error displays of the
FB. To acknowledge errors of the VS 130-2 (for example transmit error), set the
RES bit of the control byte (see Assignments for PROFIBUS DP and PROFINET
IO-relevant interfaces for the processing unit or Error messages).

6.6 Sample Programs
6.6.1 Sample Program for Interfacing the VS 130-2 to a SIMATIC
Controller with the Aid of FB79
You will find the program described here on the manuals/commissioning CD in
Examples\SIMATIC.
Including FB79 in a STEP 7 Program
In the supplied STEP 7 program, the FC1 function contains a simple example for
outputting the result string. With FC2, you can bring about a code change. As
default, only FC1 is called in OB1. To activate FC2, you must either delete the first
network with the FC1 call or skip it.
Note
You may only apply the value W#16#0081 (output result string) to the COMMAND
parameter when bit 2 in the status byte (corresponds to the RDY signal) is set to
TRUE. Otherwise you receive the error "Illegal mode".
Process interfacing
The processing unit is connected over PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO to a
programmable controller. A light barrier or a Bero is also used to trigger and must
be read in over a digital input module. The received data is stored in data block
DB48 in bytes 0 to 500.
Adding the code change
Specify the number of the required code in memory byte MB200. The code change
is then automatic. The correct order of the commands is maintained. The FB
changes to the code specified in PARAM1.
!
Attention
To avoid undefined statuses in the plant, you should only change codes when the
plant is stopped or in manual mode.
OB100 startup OB
Set the RESET input of FB79 in OB100 to initialize the FB. This input is reset again
when FB79 is called.

With the "mmidiag" sample, you can archive diagnostic data records in the form of
csv files and diagnostic images as bitmaps on a PC. In addition to the diagnostic
images, a text file is transferred that contains details of the image.
Process interfacing
The configuration described in the section Reading codes or checking quality in a
PROFINET environment and outputting over Ethernet is used as the basis. It is
characterized by the PC or PG for archiving the diagnostic data records and/or
diagnostic images not being connected to the processing unit over RS-232 but over
Ethernet.
Setup support
Make the following settings on the setup support:
• Connections dialog, Ports tab:
In "Archiving/MMI", enter the IP address and the port of the PC/PG on which
you want to archive the diagnostic information.
• Connections dialog, Integration tab:
In "Diagnostic transfer", select what you want to archive. only diagnostic data
records, only diagnostic images or both
Example Program
Make sure that set the same values in the "Connection" sample as on the setup
support in the Connections dialog, Ports tab.
Enter the maximum size of a csv file in "Options". If the current csv file exceeds this
size, the sample program creates a new csv file. In the "Timeout" input box, you
can also specify the time in seconds after which the sample program stops itself if it
has not received a response from the processing unit during this time. This allows
you to check whether the connection to the processing unit is still established.
In "Output", you specify the folders in which the diagnostic images and the csv files
will be stored.
Once you have clicked the "Start" button, the program waits for the connection to
be established by the processing unit. The transfer of the diagnostic data begins
after the connection has been established.
The file names have the following structure:
• csv files: diagrecs_<date>_<time>.csv
• Bitmaps: diagimg_<date>_<time>.bmp
• Details of the image: diagimg_<date>_<time>.txt

7.1 Introduction
With certain operator input and if an error occurs in the processing, the
VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr provides you with adequate diagnostic information. This can
take the following form:
• Message from setup support
• Message on the display of the processing unit
• Activation of the "BF" LED
• Slave Diagnostics
7.2 Diagnostics with Messages
Overview
A distinction is made between the following message types:
• Error Messages
• Warnings/Notes
• Read results
All three types of message are displayed on the display of the processing unit.
Most messages of the error message type also trigger a diagnostic interrupt on the
DP master via PROFIBUS.
In "Error Messages", "Warnings/Notes" and "Read Results", you will find all the
messages, their meaning and a description of how to remedy the situation.

7.2.1 Error Messages
When error messages are generated, the "IN_OP" signal (in operation) is reset and
the SF LED (group error) is lit.
With the exception of the error messages PROFIBUS DP Error and PROFINET IO
Error, you must acknowledge all errors that occur by setting the DISA and the RES
bit of the control byte.
If VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr is connected to PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET I/O, all
error messages trigger a diagnostic interrupt on the respective DP master or I/O
controller, for which there is a number in the "Bit no. as of Diagnostic Byte 0 (DP)"
or "Value (PROFINET)" column in the following table. How to read out and then
analyze the diagnostic information available on the VS 130-2 is described in Slave

Diagnostics
Occurrence of PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO Errors
If a "PROFIBUS DP Error" or "PROFINET IO Error" occurs, the processing unit
checks during the time the error is displayed if the cause of the error continues to
be present.
When the affected communication is reestablished, the processing unit resets the
error display and goes into the one of the following operating modes:
• If the error occurred during RUN, the processing unit goes back to RUN mode
with the corresponding code number.
• The processing unit goes to STOP mode in all other situations.
In any case, you can acknowledge the error manually (on the processing unit or in
the setup support) and thereby make changes to the configuration.
The occurrence of these two errors as well as their automatic acknowledgment are
permanently saved in the diagnostics records, i.e. the corresponding entries are
not overwritten by the occurrence of new errors. They are indicated at the following
locations if their number deviates from zero:
• In the Info menu of the processing unit
• In the setup support for the "Processing mode" job
• In the setup support for the "Info" job in the "Statistics" tab
Note
The occurrence of a PROFIBUS DP error or PROFINET IO error results in the call
of OB 86 (rack failure) in a SIMATIC S7-CPU.
If you have not programmed OB 86, the CPU goes to STOP.

7.4 Slave Diagnostics or I/O Device Diagnostics
7.4.1 Introduction
Errors such as "Sensor not found" trigger a slave or I/O device diagnostic
message. Slave diagnostics behaves according to the PROFIBUS standards
EN 50170 and IEC 61158 / IEC 61784. Depending on the DP master or
I/O controller, the diagnostic information can be read with STEP 7.
How to read out the slave or I/O device diagnostic information and how it is
structured is described briefly below. You will find a detailed description in the
Distributed I/O Station ET 200M manual or in the PROFINET IO – From
PROFIBUS DP to PROFINET IO Programming Manual.
Note
VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr does not support the SYNC and FREEZE control
commands. If the VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr slave nevertheless receives one of these
control commands, bit 0 in diagnostic byte 1 is set (see Diagnostics in PROFIBUS
DP).
7.4.2 Reading Out the Diagnostic Information with S7
If an error message such as "Sensor not found" occurs on the processing unit and
you are using an S7 CPU as the DP master or I/O controller, the diagnostic
interrupt OB (OB82) is started.
Its local variables OB_82_EV_CLASS, OB_82_MDL_DEFECT, and
OB82_EXT_FAULT can have the following values:
Tag Value Meaning
OB_82_EV_CLASS B#16#39 Event entering state
OB_82_MDL_DEFECT TRUE Module fault
OB_82_EXT_FAULT TRUE External error
Unfortunately it is not possible to obtain the actual cause of the problem from the
local variables of OB82. This can be determined as follows:
• for PROFIBUS DP: by calling SFC13 "DPNRM_DG" or SFB 54 "RALRM" in
OB82
• for PROFINET IO: by calling SFB54 "RALRM" in OB82
The entry "Module fault" appears in the diagnostic buffer and the relevant text from
the GSD file is shown as the module status of the VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr, for
example "Sensor not found".
When the error is eliminated (in the example: you have inserted the sensor again)
and acknowledged this on the processing unit, the diagnostic interrupt OB (OB 82)
is started again on the DP master or IO controller.

Its local variables OB_82_EV_CLASS, OB_82_MDL_DEFECT, and
OB82_EXT_FAULT can have the following values:
Tag Value Meaning
OB_82_EV_CLASS B#16#38 Event exiting state
OB_82_MDL_DEFECT FALSE No module fault
OB_82_EXT_FAULT FALSE No external error
The entry "Module OK" now appears in the diagnostic buffer in PROFIBUS DP and
the error text from the GSD file is no longer shown as the module status of the
VS 130-2/VS 130-2vcr.
7.4.3 Diagnostics for PROFIBUS DP
Bytes 7 through 10 of the slave diagnostic information (diagnostic bytes 0 through
3) read with SFC13 correspond to the 32-bit long field "Unit_Diag_Bit" of the GSD
