• • To allow the coordinator to coordinate access by the individual
CPUs to the I/O area, you must program data block DB 1. Even
if the CPU does not use I/Os or the IPC flags, a (empty) DB 1
must exist (for more information refer to Section 10.1.6)
• • Data block DX 0 must also exist. Program this so that process
interrupts via input byte IB 0 are disabled and the system interrupts
are activated.
For multiprocessing, you must program DB 1 for each CPU. This
establishes the inputs, outputs (byte addresses 0 to 127) and IPC
input and output flags with which each CPU works.
Note
The system program recognizes only the inputs and outputs
defined in DB 1 when it updates the process image!
• • Create/modify DB 1 on the PG using the DB 1 screen form
or
• • by editing DB 1 as a data block on the PG and then transferring it
to the CPU.
Note
The CPU accepts the entered or changed DB 1 only after a cold
restart!
1. Select the editor for the DB 1 screen form on your PG
(refer to Fig. 10-3).
2. Enter the required values for "digital inputs" etc. as decimal
numbers.
