CTI 2573-MOD - Serial Interface Adapter w/MODBUS

Special Function Programs

The controller compiles all SF programs and subroutines. They are compiled in the following situations:

• When a user program is downloaded to the PLC, if the SF Program or subroutine is enabled,

• When the SF program or subroutine is enabled, if the SF program has been modified,

• During a Power Up start (following the application of power).

Programs that contain errors will not be enabled. During a program download, Workshop will display a message

indicating the error. Once you acknowledge the message, the download will continue, leaving the program disabled. You

must correct the programming error before the program or subroutine can be enabled. User Programs originally written

for the Simatic® 505 PLC may contain undetected errors, if the programs were not originally compiled. This can occur

because the SF interpreter never attempts to execute the instruction due to the branching logic. A common problem is

that additional ENDIF statements are included or the correct number of ENDIF statements is not present.

Unlike the Simatic® 555. there are no restrictions regarding the instructions that can be used in a compiled program.

User Configuration

The following differences in the user configuration should be noted:

1. Allocation of CS memory is not supported. The CTI 2500 Series® controller uses high speed DRAM to store and

execute compiled SF programs and subroutines. Consequently, CS memory is not required.

2. User allocation of User Subroutine memory is not supported. The CTI 2500 controller does not support user

subroutines (XSUB). See XSUB description above.

3. A time slice for Report by Exception (RBE) is not supported. Some alternative solutions exist. Please consult us with

your exact configuration.

4. A new time slice, Network Communications, has been added to support the local Ethernet port.
