Test of the Battery module S7-200 How can I find the cycle time of an S7-200 program? Display part number Instructions: To identify the cycle time of a STEP 7-Micro/WIN - project in a S7-200 CPU, select the command "Information..." in the main CPU menu in STEP 7-Micro/WIN. The three cycle times are displayed in the box "Cycle rates (ms)":
l l l

The last required cycle time ("Last:"), The minimum cycle time ("Lowest:") and The maximum cycle time ("Highest:")

since the last STOP-RUN transition of the CPU. You can access this information in the user program in the special flag area. The cycle time of the last cycle is in SMW 22. The shortest cycle run since the last STOP-RUN transition is in SMW 24 and the longest cycle run is in SMW 26. Test of the Battery module S7-200 Display part number QUESTION: How can I recognize whether the optional battery module for the S7-200 still provides sufficient voltage? ANSWER: There is no possibility to measure or record via a program routine whether the optional battery module still provides sufficient voltage. Besides, the CPU does not assign any bit with this information. If the battery module is located in the CPU, it has to be removed from there. Afterwards, connect shortly a 100 kOhm resistance between two pins of the battery - still more than 2,2 V DC have to be locatable at the resistance. According to the used CPU-Type, the battery modules are different and it has to be mesasured between different pins:
l l

For the CPUs of the second generation (S7-22x) the resistance (100 kOhm) has to connected between the Pins 2 and 6 of the battery module in a row, for the CPUs of the first generation (S7-21x) the resistance (100 kOhm) has to be connected between the Pins 1 and 5 of the battery module in a row.

To measure correctly between the right pins when using the battery module BC 293, turn the battery module around as shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1: View Battery module BC 293 Note: The S7-200 CPU includes the special marker bit SM0.2, which is set for a cycle during the start-up if the remanent data went lost. By a flat curve of discharge of a Lithium-Battery, the battery status is hardly determinable. Thus, no statement can be given about the capacity which is still available. To avoid a data loss after the expiry of buffer time, we recommend the storage of data into internal EEPROM of the CPU - see Entry-ID 17471561.
