CPU 31xC: Commissioning

Introduction
This guide takes you through 6 commissioning steps to set up a functioning appli-
cation by running through a concrete example. In this way you will get to know the
basic hardware and software functions of your CPU 31xC.
You should expect to spend approximately 1.5 to 2 hours on this example, depen-
ding on the level of your experience.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
S You must be familiar with the fundamentals of electronic/electrical engineering
and have experience of working with computers and Microsoft Win-
dows#95/98/NT.

Warning
! The S7-300 is used as a component in installations and systems that require you
to comply with specific rules and regulations that vary depending on the applica-
tion.
Please note the relevant safety and accident-prevention regulations, such as IEC
204 (emergency stop systems).
Non-compliance with these regulations can result in serious injury and damage to

Overview of the layout of the example

Functionality of the Example

Output Q124.0 can only be switched (i.e. the Q124.0 diode lights up on the DO), if
switches I124.1 and I124.2 are pressed.

Step 1: Installation
Installation sequence: from left to right: power module 307 CPU 313C.
The picture shows the overview of the entire installation.
Figure Installing and Grounding the Rail
1. Put the rail in position and fasten (screw size: M6)
so that there is at least 40 mm of space above and
below the rail.
1.
2. If you fasten the rail to a grounded metal plate or a
grounded device support, make sure there is a low-
resistance connection between the rail and the ba-
se.
3.
3. Connect the rail to the protective conductor. There is
an M6 protective conductor screw on the rail for this
purpose.
Minimum cross-section of the cable to the protective
conductor: 10 mm2.

Step 2: Wiring

Warning
! You can come into contact with live wires if the PS 307 is switched on or the PS
network cable is connected to the power.
Only wire the S7-300 in a deenergized state!

Stage Wiring the Power Supply and the CPU

1 Open the front doors of the power module and the CPU.
2 Loosen the clamp for the power module strain relief (see the figure on page 3).
3 Strip the power cable, attach wire-end ferrules, if necessary (for multi-wire cables), and attach
to the PS.
4 Tighten the clamp for the strain relief.
5 Insert two short connection cables between the power module and the CPU (see picture on
page 3) and tighten it.
6 Check that the line voltage selector switch is set to your line voltage.
The power module is set in the factory to a line voltage of AC 230 V. To change the voltage,
proceed as follows: Remove the protective cap with a screwdriver, set the switch to the line
voltage required and replace the protective cap.

 Stage Wiring the Front Connectors of the DI and DO
1 Open the front doors of the CPU 313C.
2 Position the front connectors so that you can wire them:
To do this, push a front connector into the CPU until it snaps into position. The front connector
still sticks out of the module in this position. A wired front connector has no contact with the
module in the wiring position.
3 Strip 6 mm from the wire ends you want to insert in the front connector and attach appropriate
wire-end ferrules.
4 Wire the front connector (DI side) as follows:
Terminal 1: L+ of the power module; terminal 3: switch 1; terminal 4: switch 2; terminal 20: M of
the popwer module.
5 Wire the front connector (DO side)as follows:
Terminals 21 and 31: L+ of the power module; terminal 30: M of the power module.
6 Wire the free wire ends of the switches to L+ of the power module.
7 Lead the wires downward out of the front connectors.
8 Tighten the front connector (this sets the connection to the module ).
9 Close the front cover of the power module and the front door of the CPU.

Step 3: Commissioning the Hardware

Stage What to Do Result
1 Connect the programming device to the CPU with the programming device cable. If you use a
cable with PROFIBUS connectors, you will have to turn on the resistors in the connectors.
Close the front door of the CPU and put the mode selector switch to STOP.
2 Connect the power cable to the network and switch on The DC24V LED lights up on the PS.
the PS 307 power supply module. All the LEDs on the CPU come on
briefly; the SF LED and the DC5V
LED remain on. The STOP LED
starts to flash slowly and requires
memory reset (see 3).
3 Carry out a memory reset in the CPU as follows:
Press the mode selector switch to MRES. Keep the mode selector switch in this posi-
tion until the STOP LED comes on for the second time and stays on (this takes 3 sec.).
You can let go of the mode selector.
Within 3 sec. you must press the mode selector switch back to MRES. The STOP LED
starts to flash rapidly and the CPU carries out a memory reset. You can let go of the
mode selector. When the STOP LED comes on permanently again, the CPU has com-
pleted the memory reset.

5 Activate switch 1. The I124.1 LED on the DI comes on.
No LEDs light up on the DO.
6 Activate switch 2. Die I124.2 LED on the DI comes on.
No LEDs light up on the DO.

Diagnosis/Debugging
Incorrect operation, incorrect wiring or incorrect hardware configuration can result
in faults that the CPU indicates after a memory reset with the group error LED SF.
You can find out how to evaluate these errors and messages in the manuals: Hard-
ware and Installation ; Section 10.4 and Programming with STEP 7 V5.1 ; Chapter
21.
