1 Technical Description
This chapter describes the features of the module and familiarizes you with the
basic functions of the AS-i master module CP 343-2.
You will learn the following:
S The PLC systems on which the AS-Interface can be operated with the
CP 343-2 / CP 343-2 P.
S Which displays and operator controls are available on the CP 343-2 /
CP 343-2 P.
S Which modes are supported by the CP 343-2 / CP 343-2 P.
S Which options are available with the button configuration
S How addressing is handled on the CPU
Notice
The two device types CP 343-2 and CP 343-2 P are largely identical in terms of
functionality. The CP 343-2 P however has additional options for configuration and
parameter assignment during startup (see Section 2.1).
The CP 343-2 P module is not therefore intended as a replacement for the
CP 343-2 that can still be ordered!
Note
In the description below a distinction between the types CP 343-2 and CP 343-2 P
is made only where their performance characteristics differ.
Otherwise, unless specifically indicated, the name CP 343-2 (or CP) stands for
both device types CP 343-2 and CP 343-2 P

1.1 General Notes on Operation − Safety Warnings
Using the CP
You can use the CP 343-2 in the following automation systems:
S S7-300 − central configuration
S S7-300 − distributed configuration via ET 200M (IM153)
You can also connect the CP to an S7-400H via a redundant ET 200M.
Caution
To ensure protection from electrostatic discharge, the module may only be
operated when the front panel is closed.
When operating the module, implement the measures for preventing build up of
electrostatic charges. For information on this topic, refer to the S7-300 device
manual /4/.
You will find further information on conditions for use in Chapter 2.
Warning
! WARNING − EXPLOSION HAZARD: DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT
WHEN A FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE A TMOSPHERE IS PRESENT.
Warning
! When used under hazardous conditions:
S If the cable or conduit entry point exceeds 70_C or the branching point of
conductors exceeds 80_C, special precautions must be taken: If the equipment
is operated in an air ambient of 50_C ... 60_C, only use cables with admitted
maximum operating temperature of at least 80_C.
S Provisions shall be made to prevent the rated voltage from being exceeded by
transient disturbances of more than 40%. This criterion is fulfilled, if supplies
are derived from SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) only.
Restrictions
Access to AS-i analog values using data records 140 to 147 and to the binary
values of the B slaves using data record 150 is not possible with the CPU 318 with
a firmware version V1.1.3 or earlier.

Figure 1-3 Front Connector Pin Assignment and Labeling on the CP 343-2
The CP 343-2 has internal contacts for two AS-i cables that are jumpered internally
on the CP. This allows the CP 343-2 to be “looped” into the AS-i cable.
Notice
The load capacity of the contacts is a maximum of 4 A. If this value is exceeded
on the AS-i cable, the CP 343-2 must not be “looped into” the AS-i cable but must
be connected by a separate cable (only one pair of contacts used on the
CP 343-2).
For further information on connecting the AS-i cable, refer to Section 2.2.

Meaning of the Indicators and Operator Controls:
LED Meaning
SF System fault.
The LED is lit when:
S The CP 343-2 is in the protected mode and an AS-i configuration error has
occurred (for example slave failed)
S The CP detects an internal fault (for example EEPROM defective)
S In response to a button command, the CP cannot execute the required mode
change at the present time (for example, because there is a slave with
address 0).
RUN Indicates that the CP has started up correctly.
APF AS-i Power Fail.
This indicates that the voltage supplied to the AS-i cable by the AS-i power
supply unit is too low or there is a complete power outage.
CER Configuration Error.
This LED indicates whether the slave configuration detected on the AS-i cable
matches the configuration configured on the CP (LPS). If they do not match, the
CER LED is lit.
The CER LED is lit in the following situations:
S When a configured AS-i slave does not exist on the AS-i cable
(for example failure of the slave).
S When a slave exists on the AS-i cable but it has not been configured
S When an attached slave has different configuration data (I/O configuration, ID code)
from the slave configured on the CP.
S When the CP is in the offline phase.
AUP Autoprog available.
In the protected mode of the CP, this indicates that automatic address
programming of a slave is possible. Automatic address programming makes it
easier to replace a defective slave on the AS-i cable (for more detailed
information, see Chapter 5.2.12).
CM Configuration Mode.
This LED indicates the mode.
Indicator on: configuration mode
Indicator on: protected mode

18 Release 08/2008
C79000−G8976−C149−04
LED Meaning
S Configuration Mode
The configuration mode is used during AS-i installation and commissioning.

In the configuration mode, the CP 343-2 can exchange data with every AS-i
slave connected to the AS-i cable (except for the AS-i slave with address ‘0’).
Any AS-i slaves that are added later are detected immediately by the master
and activated and included in the cyclic data exchange.
When installation and startup is completed, the CP 343-2 can be switched to
the protected mode using the SET button. Any AS-i slaves active at this point
are therefore configured.
The following data of the AS-i slaves is stored in non-volatile memory on the
CP 343-2:
− the PLC addresses
− the ID codes
− the I/O configuration
S Protected Mode
In the protected mode, the CP 343-2 exchanges data only with the configured
AS-i slaves. In this sense, “configured” means that the slave addresses and
the configuration data stored on the CP 343-2 match the values of existing
AS-i slaves.
SET Button
The SET button is required for configuring the CP 343-2 in standard operation. The
button is only activated when the PLC is in the STOP mode.
If the CP 343-2 is in the configuration mode (CM LED lit), the CP 343-2 is
configured automatically when the button is pressed. Configuration involves the
following steps:
1. The CP 343-2 saves the existing slave configuration as indicated by the LEDs
of the active slaves as the expected configuration.
2. The CP 343-2 then changes to the protected mode.
If the CP 343-2 is in the protected mode (“CM” LED is not lit), pressing the button
on the CP switches to the configuration mode.
For information on the method, refer to Section 1.6.
Display of the Detected and Activated AS-i Slaves

The detected and activated slaves are indicated by the LEDs 0 to 9 and the LEDs
10+, 20+, B. The activated slaves are displayed in groups of ten. The switchover is
time-controlled. The LEDs labeled 10+, 20+ indicate which group of 10 is currently
displayed by LEDs 0 to 9. If the “B” LED is lit, this indicates that the detected and
activated slaves are slaves from the extended address area B.

Characteristics of the Slave Display

S If the CP 343-2 is in the configuration mode, all detected AS-i slaves are
displayed.
S If the CP 343-2 is in the protected mode, all activated AS-i slaves are
indicated by the LED being permanently lit. Failed or existing but unconfigured
AS-i slaves are indicated by the corresponding LED flashing.

1.6 Configuring using Buttons
Preparation for Button Configuration

Make sure that the following situation applies:
S The PLC CPU must be switched to STOP.
S The CP 343-2 and all AS-i slaves must be connected to the AS-interface and
supplied with power.
S The AS-i slaves must have unique addresses other than “0”.
Setting the Configuration with Buttons

1. Check whether the CP 343-2 is in “configuration mode” (”CM” LED is lit).
If the ”CM” LED is not lit, change the CP 343-2 to the configuration mode with
the “SET” button.
2. Check whether all the slaves connected to the AS-interface exist and are
displayed.
3. Press the SET button. This configures the CP 343-2; in other words, the
detected actual configuration is stored as the default in the non-volatile
EEPROM. At the same time, the CP 343-2 is changed to the protected mode;
the “CM” LED goes off. (See Section 1.5 > SET button)
The “CER” LED also goes off since following configuration, the “expected
configuration” stored on the CP 343-2 matches the “actual configuration” on the
AS-Interface.
Note
Changing from the configuration mode to the protected mode is only possible
when there is no AS-i slave with address 0 connected to the AS-Interface. If a
slave 0 is connected, the “SF” LED lights up when the SET button is pressed.
If you run a button configuration when there is no AS-i power supply (APF state) or
when no AS-i slaves are connected, all the internal lists are set to their default
values. In particular, all the AS-i parameters are set to = F Hex and the
AutoAddress_Enable bit is set to = 1.
Notice
The following applies to the CP 343-2 P: A configuration of the AS-i slaves set by
STEP 7 and downloaded to the S7 station is transferred to the CP 343-2 P by the
CPU during startup. Any configuration set with the buttons is then overwritten.

22 Release 08/2008
C79000−G8976−C149−04
1.7 Modes
The CP recognizes two modes:
S Configuration mode
S Protected mode
Configuration mode
The configuration mode is used during AS-i installation and startup.
You can change the CP module from protected mode (productive operation) to
configuration mode with the ”SET” button. (“CM” LED is lit, see Section 1.6).
In Configuration mode, the CP can exchange data with every AS-i slave connected
to the AS-i cable. Any AS-i slaves that are added later are detected immediately by
the master, activated and included in the cyclic data exchange.
Protected mode
In protected mode, the CP exchanges data only with the configured AS-i slaves.
After configuring with the “SET” button, activate protected mode by pressing the
”SET” button again, the “CM” LED goes off.
1.8 Permitted Slots for the CP 343-2 in the SIMATIC S7-300

and in the ET 200M
In principle, the CP can be installed in all the slots for I/O modules in the S7-300
and ET 200M.
There may, however, be restrictions depending on the CPU or power supply unit
being used in terms of the following:
S The expandability with several racks (multi-tier expansion of the PLC only with
the CPU 314 and higher),
S The electrical configuration, in other words the total current consumption from
the S7 backplane bus.
For more detailed information, refer to the relevant SIMATIC system manuals /4/.

1.9 Addressing the CP 343-2 in the S7 Automation System

The CP 343-2 can be addressed by the PLC like an analog module with 16 input
bytes and 16 output bytes. The CP occupies 16 input bytes and 16 output bytes in
the I/O address space of the S7 automation system (analog area on the AS).
Of the 16 bytes I/O address area of the CP 343-2, 31 x 4 bits are used for the
binary data of the AS-i standard slaves or A slaves. The remaining four bits are
reserved for later applications.
The base address n of this address area is fixed as follows by the slot of the
CP 343-2.

Note
In most CPUs (for example, the CPU 315-2DP, 318), the slot-oriented addressing
can be modified with STEP 7 configuration (HW Config).
In particular, with the freely configurable CPUs, it is possible to address the
standard AS-i slaves or the A/B slaves with A addresses from the extended
address area via the process image of the inputs and outputs.

STEP 7
Significance of the Configuration in STEP 7

Configuration in STEP 7 is necessary for the use of the CP 343-2 in an S7-300.
Here, a distinction must be made between the obligatory basic configuration and
the optional slave configuration for the CP 343–2 P.
The following applies to the CP 343–2 P:
While configuration with the buttons as described in Section 1.6 simply allows
querying of the current actual configuration, by configuring in STEP 7, you can
create a defined configuration regardless of the actual configuration and download
it to the CP.
Note
The information on the basic configuration in Section 3.2 applies both to the
CP 343-2 and to the CP 343-2 P.
The information in Section 3.3 relates only to the CP 343-2 P!
3.2 STEP 7 Basic Configuration
Entering the AS-i Master into the S7-300 Station in HW Config

The CP 343-2 / CP 343-2 P is taken from the hardware catalog in STEP 7
HW Config just like any other module and placed in the required slot in the rack of the
S7-300 station.
After you have inserted the CP 343-2 / CP 343-2 P, there are still no AS-i slaves
configured. In this default setting, the rules of “button configuration” apply initially
(see Section 1.6).

3.4 Uploading the Actual Configuration to the PG

(CP 343-2 P only)
Aims
You can upload the current actual configuration over the CP 343–2 P to the open
STEP 7 project.
This allows you to
S read in a complex configuration and use it as a basis for a further configuration
in STEP 7
S check a current configuration.
Note
The uploaded configuration is always the current actual configuration. This can
deviate from the configuration set with the buttons and stored on the AS-i master ,
for example when an AS-i slave is added or removed using the button
configuration function.
When you download the configuration defined in the STEP 7 project to the
CP 343-2, the configuration detected by the button configuration function is
overwritten.
Follow the steps below

Preparation: Create the basic configuration and download to the station:
1. Create a basic configuration by inserting the CP 343-2 P in an S7-300 station
without AS-i slaves in HW Config.
2. Download this basic configuration to the S7-300 station using HW Config.
Uploading:
3. Select the “AS-i Slave Options” tab in the Properties dialog of the CP.
4. Click the “Download to PG” button and, if a warning is displayed, simply confirm
it.
An existing configuration in the STEP 7 project is overwritten. Before the new
configuration is adopted, you must first confirm the warning.
5. Change to the “Slave Configuration” tab to view the actual configuration and
edit it if necessary.
Tip:
To use the function for information despite an existing configuration in STEP 7, you
can upload the actual configuration and then after checking it, quit the dialog with
the “Cancel” button.

4 Data Exchange between User Program and
AS−i Slaves
This chapter provides you with the information you require to access the data of
the AS-i slaves from the PLC user program via the CP 343-2. The chapter explains
the transfer of the following:
S Binary values of the standard or A slaves via the PLC I/Os
S Binary values of the B slaves by reading or writing data record 150
S Analog values of the AS-i analog slaves complying with profile 7.3/7.4 by
reading or writing data records 140−147
For information on using the data record numbers with the CPU 318, refer to
“Restrictions” in Section 1.1.

4 Data Exchange between User Program and AS−i Slaves
4.1.1 Addressing the Standard or A Slaves with the PLC
Each standard or A slave on the AS-i cable is assigned four bits (a nibble) by the
CP 343-2. The PLC can write (slave output data) and read (slave input data) this
nibble. This allows bi-directional slaves to be accessed.
The first four input bits (first nibble) are reserved for using FC “ASI_3422”. If you
do not use an FC, the first four input bits alternate between the values 8H and EH
approximately every 2.5 seconds. The first four output bits (first nibble) have no
significance for the CP 343-2.
Assignment:
I/O byte number Bit 7−4 Bit 3−0

n+0 reserved Slave 1 or 1A
Bit 3 | Bit 2 | Bit 1 | Bit 0
n+1 Slave 2 or 2A Slave 3 or 3A
Bit 3 | Bit 2 | Bit 1 | Bit 0 Bit 3 | Bit 2 | Bit 1 | Bit 0
n = base address
The table shows the assignment of the CP 343-2 interface for standard and A
slaves (where n is the base address of the I/O address area occupied by the
CP 343-2). The assignment of the slave I/O bits to the I/O byte of the PLC can
also be seen in the table.
Special Feature of AS-i Analog Slaves

If you use AS-i analog slaves complying with profile 7.3 /7.4, the following applies:
S The input nibbles of these AS-i slaves are set to the value “0” by the CP 343-2;
S The output nibbles of these AS-i slaves are ignored by the CP 343-2;

4.1.2 Accessing Binary Data of Standard or A Slaves
The bits of the AS-i slaves are accessed using S7 load and transfer commands,
such as:
L PIW X
L PID X
T PQW X
T PQD X
X stands for the byte address on the CP 342-2.
Note
The internal system allows access only to even byte addresses in words or double
words. The byte transfer commands L PIB X and T PQB X are not permitted in
conjunction with the CP 342-2.
Example:
Correct: L PIW 260
Wrong: T PQB 260
Wrong: L PIW 257

4.3 Points to Note about Binary Data of Analog Slaves
4.3.1 Point to Note About Analog Slaves
If you use slaves complying with CTT 1−5, all or some I/O bits may be used for
special transfer functions.
The following applies to these protocol bits:
S In the input direction, the CP sets the value “0”.
S In the output direction, the CP ignores the bits;
How to access AS-i analog slaves is described in Section 4.4.
4.3.2 Points to Note About AS-i Safety Slaves
The CP sets the input bits

S 0 and 1 = 0 if the contact at F−IN1 is open;
S 0 and 1 = 1 if the contact at F−IN1 is closed;
S 2 and 3 = 0 if the contact at F−IN2 is open;
S 2 and 3 = 1 if the contact at F−IN2 is closed;
4.4 Transferring AS-i Analog Values
Notice
The following descriptions apply only to AS−i slaves whose data is stored in the
analog area. Analog value transfer in compliance with AS-i slave profile 7.1/7.2 is
not supported by the CP 343-2. In this case, analog value transfer must be imple-
mented in your software.
Analog Interface between the PLC CPU and CP 343-2

You can operate up to 31 AS-i slaves each with up to 4 analog input or 4 analog
output values.
You can operate up to 62 analog slaves in the A/B area each with up to 2 analog
input or analog output values.
You access the analog values of AS-i analog slaves in the user program using the
system function blocks SFC 58 / SFC 59 (“write_data_record” /
“read_data_record”). For this function, you use data record numbers 140−147.

4.4.1 Addressing Analog Values of AS-i Slaves
Mapping the Analog Values in the Data Records

For each data record number, you can use data record lengths between 2 bytes
and max. 128 bytes.
An 8-byte area is used for each slave address to address four analog channels.
Table 4-3 below shows which data record is used to transfer the analog values of
which AS-i slave. The way in which the analog values of the analog slave are
arranged is shown in Table 4-4.
The tables can be used both for the analog inputs and for the analog outputs.

and specify 120 as the data record length.
4. Configuration: analog slaves are located in the address area 29−31
Representation of the analog values

The analog values are interpreted according to slave profile 7.3 or 7.4 as 16-bit
values in two’s compliment.
The transparent values are interpreted as two independent bytes.
For further information regarding the range of values, the measurement range and
the accuracy please refer to the relevant documentation of the analog slaves.

Special cases when transferring analog values in the output direction

S The following applies in the output direction:
S With firmware version V2.x, the AS−i master interrupts the transfer of the
analog output values when the CPU is in STOP. How the analog slave reacts
depends on the particular device.
S As of firmware V3.0, the AS−i master sends the substitute value ”0” to all slaves
when the CPU is in STOP.
Special cases when transferring analog values in the input direction

S In the input direction the AS−i returns the substitute value 7FFFh when
− The AS−i slave has failed or does not exist
− The channel number is not supported by the analog slave
− The analog slave signals “Value Invalid”
According to AS−i Specification 3.0, these are slaves with the following profiles:
6.0.A to 6.0.C
7.3.4 to 7.3.7
7.3.B to 7.3.F
7.4.1 to 7.4.F
7.A.9
7.A.8 (ID1 = 6)
7.A.8 (ID1 = 7)
7.A.5 and 7.5.5 and B.A.5
S Transparent data:
In the input direction, the AS−i master returns the substitute value 0h when the
analog slave supplies transparent data and when
− This analog slave has failed
− This analog slave signals “Value Invalid”
According to the AS−i Specification 3.0, these are slaves with the following
profiles:
6.0.2 to 6.0.4
7.3.0 to 7.3.3
7.3.8 to 7.3.A
7.A.A
7.A.8 (ID1 = 3,4,5)
Note
If the CP 343-2 is used in the ET 200M, only a limited number of
read_data_record and write_data_record jobs can be active at the same time on
the S7 CPU. The maximum number of jobs depends on the S7 CPU.
If more jobs are triggered, these are terminated with the error 80C3h (temporary
lack of resources). The rejected job must then be repeated.

5 Using the Command Interface
Via the command interface, you can control the response of the AS-i master
completely from within your user program.
This chapter contains the information you require to access the command interface
of the CP 343-2.
5.1 Description of FC “ASI_3422”
Meaning
In SIMATIC S7, a convenient command interface is available with FC ASI_3422.
By calling FC ASI_3422, you can handle both the transfer of the command and the
acceptance of the response data. After it has been called, FC ASI_3422 instigates
and handles the “write_record” and “read_record” calls independently.
Points to Note
S You will find FC ASI_3422 at the following locations:
− In the STEP 7 block library “SIMATIC_NET_CP” (as of STEP 7 V5.4 SP4)
− On the accompanying product CD
S You must use version 2.0 or higher of the FC ASI_3422
S FC ASI_3422 must be interrupted during execution! FC calls must not be
programmed in priority classes that can interrupt each other (for example by a
call in OB1 and in OB35).
S If the CP 343-2 is used in the ET 200M, only a limited number of
read_data_record and write_data_record jobs can be active at the same time
on the S7 CPU. The maximum number of jobs depends on the S7 CPU.
If more than the maximum number of jobs are triggered, they are terminated
with the error 80C3h (temporary lack of resources). The rejected job must then
be repeated.

Commands in the User Program

To work with commands, include the following in your user program:
1. In the warm restart branch of your S7 user program, call FC ASI_3422 once
with the parameter value STARTUP = TRUE.
2. Specify the command call in a send buffer in the user program. You transfer this
send buffer with the SEND call parameter.
3. Depending on the command type you will also require a response buffer. You
transfer this response buffer with the RECV call parameter. For status
information, the response buffer is not required for this FC interface.
4. Activate the job with the parameter ACT=1
5. You then query the parameters DONE, ERROR and STATUS. For handling
these parameters in the user program, note the signal sequence of the
parameters explained below.
The CD that ships with the CP contains sample programs.
Signal Sequence of the Formal Parameters ACT, DONE, ERROR and STATUS
A command call is started by ACT = 1. During the processing of the job, the first
word of STATUS has the value 8181H. This indicates that a job is being processed.
On completion of the job, the user is informed of the result in the DONE or ERROR
parameters.
If no error occurred, DONE is set. In jobs involving response data from the CP
343-2, these are available in the receive buffer specified for RECV. In this case,
0000H is entered in the first word of STATUS.
If an error occurred, ERROR is set. In this case, no receive data are available from
the CP 343-2 for jobs with response data. To identify the error in greater detail, an
error code is entered in the first word of STATUS.

5.2.1 Set_Permanent_Parameter
Meaning
With this call, a parameter value for the specified AS-i slave is configured on the
CP 343-2. The value is stored permanently in the EEPROM of the CP 343-2.
The configured parameter is not transferred immediately by the CP 343-2 to the
AS-i slave. The configured parameter value is only transferred when the AS-i slave
is activated after turning on the power supply on the CP 343-2.
This call is not permitted for AS-i slaves that comply with the AS-i slave standard
profile 7.4. For these AS-i slaves, the AS-i master handles the AS-i slave
parameter assignment itself. In this case, the configured parameters are always
set to F H.
Notice
If you configure the AS-i slaves with HW Config, using the call described here is
generally unnecessary
If you do use the call, you will overwrite the corresponding configuration data
originating from the button configuration or the configuration set with HW Config.

Purpose of the Command

The AS-i slave parameter value transferred with the command is passed on to the
addressed AS-i slave.
The parameter is stored on the CP 343-2 only temporarily and is not entered as a
configured parameter in the EEPROM!
The AS-i slave transfers its current parameter value in the response (parameter
echo). This can deviate from the value that has just been written according to the
AS-i master specification (/2/). The AS-i slave response is returned as a parameter
echo in the response data.
This call is not permitted for AS-i slaves that comply with the AS-i slave standard
profile 7.4. For these slaves, the AS-i master handles the AS-i slave parameter
assignment itself.

5.2.11 Set_Offline_Mode
Meaning
This call switches between the online and offline mode.

The online mode is the normal operating situation for the AS-i master. Here, the
following jobs are processed cyclically:
S During the data exchange phase, the fields of the output data are transferred to
the slave outputs for all AS-i slaves in the LAS. The addressed AS-i slaves
transfer the values of the slave inputs to the master when the transfer was free
of errors.
S This is followed by the inclusion phase in which there is a search for the existing
AS-i slaves and newly added AS-i slaves are entered in the LDS or LAS.
S In the management phase, jobs from the user such as writing parameters are
executed.
In the offline mode, the CP 343-2 only processes jobs from the user. (Jobs that
involve the immediate addressing of an AS-i slave are rejected with an error.)
There is no cyclic data exchange with the AS-i slaves.
The OFFLINE=TRUE bit is not permanently stored; in other words, following a
warm/hot restart, the CP 343-2 is once again in the online mode.

5.2.13 Set_Operation_Mode

This call changes the module between the configuration mode and the protected
mode.
In the protected mode, only AS-i slaves are activated that are entered in the LPS
and whose expected and actual configurations match, in other words, when the I/O
configuration and ID codes of the detected AS-i slaves are identical to the
configured values.
In the configuration mode, all detected AS-i slaves (except for AS-i slave “0”) are
activated. This also applies to AS-i slaves in which there are differences between
the expected and actual configuration.
The “OPERATION MODE” bit is stored permanently; in other words, it is retained
following a cold/warm restart.
When you change from the configuration mode to the protected mode, there is a
warm restart on the AS-i master (change to the of fline phase followed by a change
to the online mode).

With this call, the AS-i address of an AS-i slave can be modified.
This call is mainly used to add a new AS-i slave with the default address “0” to the
AS-Interface. In this case, the address is changed from “AS-i slave address old”=0
to AS-i slave address new”.
This change can only be made when the following conditions are fulfilled:
1. An AS-i slave with “AS-i slave address old” exists.
2. If the old AS-i slave address is not equal to 0, then an AS-i slave with address 0
cannot be connected at the same time.
3. The “AS-i slave address new” must have a valid value.
4. An AS-i slave with “AS-i slave address new” must not exist.
Note: When the AS-I slave address is changed, the AS-i slave is not reset, in other

6 Diagnostics and Interrrupts of the CP 343-2
In the protected mode, the CP 343-2 signals a diagnostic interrupt whenever the
configuration on the AS-Interface is changed. Changes in the configuration might
be that voltage on the AS-Interface is too low (AS-i Power Fail) or that
configuration errors have been detected (missing, incorrect or existing but
unconfigured AS-i slaves).
6.1 Overview
If the CP 343-2 detects an external or internal fault/error (AS-i slave failures,
EEPROM error on the CP, ...) during operation, it signals this by triggering a
diagnostic interrupt on the S7 I/O bus.
The S7 CPU then interrupts the cyclic user program (OB1), enters the event as
“module fault” in the system diagnostic buffer and behaves as follows:
S If the user has not programmed a suitable interrupt OB (OB82), the PLC CPU
changes to the STOP mode!
S If the user has programmed OB 82, this is started by the PLC operating
system. The local data of OB 82 already provides the user with a certain
amount of diagnostic information. (Which module triggered the interrupt. What
type of error has occurred ...). The user program can obtain more detailed
information (which slave has failed? ...) by reading the diagnostic data record
DS 1 using the system functions SFC 51 (”RDSYSST”) or SFC 59 (”RD_REC”).
When OB82 has been executed, the PLC continues the cyclic program (OB1)
at the point at which it was interrupted.
Note
OB82 cannot be programmed on the CPU 312; in other words, if a diagnostic
interrupt occurs, the CPU changes to the STOP mode.
6.2 Interrupt Events

The CP 343-2 distinguishes between interrupt events entering and leaving the
state. If the occurrence of an interrupt event leads to an error-free status, a
diagnostic interrupt leaving state is triggered (in OB 82: Bit OB82_MDL_DEFECT
= 0). All other interrupt events result in a diagnostic interrupt entering state (Bit
OB82_MDL_DEFECT = 1).
The following events can lead to a diagnostic interrupt being triggered by the CP
343-2:

104 Release 08/2008
C79000−G8976−C149−04
CP-external interrupt events:

S All changes to the AS-i slave configuration in the protected mode
S AS-i Power Fail in the protected mode
CP-internal interrupt events:

S EEPROM Error
Note
CP-internal interrupt events are always events entering the state. After a
CP-internal interrupt event occurs, the group error bit remains = TRUE. This is
only reset again after a restart on the S7-300.
6.3 Sequence of Diagnostic Interrupt Processing

If the CP 343-2 detects an interrupt event, it triggers a diagnostic interrupt. The
PLC CPU finds the source of the interrupt and reads data record 0 from the CP. It
then interrupts the cyclic user program and behaves as follows:
S If OB82 is not programmed, the PLC CPU changes to ST OP as the default
reaction.
S If organization block OB82 his programmed, this is started. DS 0 is available in
the local data bytes 8 to 11 in the local data area of OB82. It is possible (but not
necessary) to read DS 1 that contains the delta list in OB82 using an SFC call
(SFC 51 “RDSYSST” or SFC 59 ”RD_REC”). When OB has been executed, the
PLC CPU acknowledges the diagnostic interrupt on the CP 342-2.
If interrupt events occur in a status in which they cannot be signaled by triggering a

diagnostic interrupt (for example, when the PLC is in the STOP mode or when an
older diagnostic interrupt is not yet been acknowledged), the CP 343-2 behaves as
follows:
S As soon as it becomes possible to trigger a diagnostic interrupt again, and if the
total CP configuration (in other words, AS-i slave configuration and CP-internal,
interrupt-relevant state) at this point in time is not the same as the configuration
signaled earlier with the diagnostic interrupt, a diagnostic interrupt with the
current configuration information is triggered.
S When it becomes possible again to trigger a diagnostic interrupt and if the total
CP configuration is the same as signaled earlier with the diagnostic interrupt, no
diagnostic interrupt is triggered. This means that brief slave failures (for
example, a bad contact) can go unnoticed.

Release 08/2008 105
C79000−G8976−C149−04
6.4 Response to Interrupts in Different CP Operating States

The CP 343-2 generates diagnostic interrupts triggered by external interrupt events
only in the protected mode and not in the configuration mode.
If the PLC CPU changes to STOP, the internal interrupt history is reset; in other
words, the bit OB82_MDL_DEFECT and all other error bits in DS 0 are reset.
If there is a change from the protected mode to the configuration mode, the
external interrupt history is reset. If the CP 343-2 changes from the configuration
mode to the protected mode and if there is a configuration error at this point in
time, this is signaled with a diagnostic interrupt. If it is temporarily not possible to
issue a diagnostic interrupt (for example, because the PLC is in the STOP mode),
a diagnostic interrupt is generated at the next possible time only if the problem still
exists.
6.5 Local Data of the Diagnostic Organization Block (OB82)

6.6 Reading the Diagnostic Data Record DS 1

The CP 343-2 continuously updates a delta list containing all the slaves that exist
but that differ from the configuration; in other words, they are missing, incorrect, or
not configured (each slave is assigned a bit in the delta list: 0 = no error; 1 = error).
This delta list is part of the diagnostic data record DS1 that can be read out by
calling the operating system functions SFC 51 “RDSYSST” or SFC 59 ”RD_REC”.
To optimize the time at which DS1 is read, it is advisable to use SFC 51.
On the CP 343-2, DS 1 always has a length of 16 bytes and is structured as
follows:
Byte Value/meaning
0−3 These four bytes contain DS 0 and correspond to the local data bytes 8
to 11 in OB82.

6.8 Diagnostic Interrupts: Some Examples

It is assumed that slaves 1 and 12 were configured using the buttons on the CP
343-2 and that the CP 343-2 is in the protected mode.
If slave 7 fails, the CP 343-2 generates a diagnostic interrupt. The PLC operating
system then enters the “module fault” message in the system diagnostic buf fer and
starts OB82 (refer to the programming example in Section 6.7). When OB82 has
been executed, the delta list contains the following information:
MD 107 80 00 00 00H
MD 111 00 00 00 00H
If the unconfigured slave 15 is then connected to the AS-interface, the CP 343-2
generates another diagnostic interrupt. The “module fault” message appears in the
system diagnostic buffer again.The delta list then changes to the following value:
MD 107 80 80 00 00H
MD 111 00 00 00 00H
After reconnecting slave 7 to the AS-interface, there is still an error (slave 15). The
“module fault” message appears in the system diagnostic buffer and the delta list
has the following value:
MD 107 00 80 00 00H
MD 111 00 00 00 00H
After disconnecting slave 15, no error exists any longer. The CP 343-2 signals this
in the diagnostic interrupt. The “module OK” appears in the system diagnostic
buffer and the Delta list is empty:
MD 107 00 00 00 00H
MD 111 00 00 00 00H

7 Dealing with Problems / Error Displays
This chapter contains information about special operating states of the CP 343-2. It
is intended to help you to deal with problems.
7.1 Replacing a Defective AS-i Slave/Automatic Address

Programming
Simple Replacement of AS-i Slaves

Using the automatic address programming function, you can replace failed AS-i
slaves extremely simply.
Note
Remember that “automatic address programming” is only possible when the CP
343-2 is in the protected mode and only one AS-i slave has failed.
Slaves with profile CTT5 (multiaddress slaves) do not support automatic address
programming.
The sections below explain how to replace failed AS-i slaves using the automatic
address programming function.
Detecting a Defective AS-i Slave

If the AUP LED is lit (only in the protected mode) this indicates the following:
S Exactly one slave has failed.
S Automatic address programming by the CP 343-2 is possible.
You can recognize the failed AS-i slave simply because the LED assigned to the
slave flashes on the front panel.
Replacing a Defective AS-i Slave

S Replace the defective AS-i slave with an identical AS-i slave with address
zero (default address).
The CP 343-2 then programs this slave with the address of the original station that
had failed.
The “AUP” display goes off. The LED in the slave display of the CP 343-2 module
indicates that the slave has been included.

How the AS-i cycle time depends on the number of connected slaves
The AS-i cycle time can be calculated using the following formula:
If 5 or more AS-i slaves are activated:

tcycl = (1 + number of activated AS-i slaves) x 154 ms
If less than 5 AS-i slaves are activated:

tcycl = (1 + number of activated AS-i slaves) x 654 ms
Note
If two 2 AS-i slaves with extended addressing mode occupy the same address (for
example, address 5A and address 5B), this slave pair is calculated as one 1 AS-i
slave in the above formula. The reason for this is that slave pairs with the same
address are addressed only in every second cycle. The cycle time in the formula
above is therefore doubled for such slaves.

AS-i (AS-Interface)
Actuator-sensor interface. A network system for the lowest field area of the

AS-i A/B slave

AS-i A/B slaves use the extended addressing mode. Pairs of A/B slaves can be
assigned to one address on the AS-Interface; by organizing addresses in this
way, up to 62 AS-i A/B slaves can be attached to the AS-Interface.
AS-i analog slave

AS-i analog slaves are special AS-i standard slaves that exchange analog values
with the AS-i master.
AS-i master
The AS-i master is used to monitor and control the simplest binary actuators and
sensors via AS-i modules or AS-i slaves.
A distinction is made between a standard AS-i master and the extended AS-i
master.

AS-i module
For the AS-Interface, a module concept has been defined that allows the block-
like linking of AS-i slaves − sensors and actuators − via AS-i modules.
The following types of module exist:
The active AS-i module with an integrated AS-i chip; using this, up to four con-
ventional sensors and actuators can be connected.
The passive AS-i module; this functions as a distributor and provides a connec-
tion for up to four sensors and actuators with an integrated AS-i chip.
In keeping with the concept of the standard AS-i master and the extended AS-i
master, either AS-i chips with standard functions or with extended functions are
used in the AS-i slaves.
AS-i slave
All the nodes that can be addressed by an AS-i master are known as AS-i
slaves.
AS-i slaves are distinguished by their design (AS-i modules and sensors or
actuators with an integrated AS-i attachment) and their address range (AS-i
standard slaves and AS-i A/B slaves with the extended addressing mode).
AS-i standard slave

An AS-i standard slave always occupies one address on the AS-Interface; with
this address organization, up to 31 AS-i standard slaves can be attached to the
AS-Interface.
APF
AS-i Power Fail Flag or LED display that indicates that the power supply on the
AS-i cable is too low or has failed (for example failure of the AS-i power supply
unit).
Extended AS-i master

An extended AS-i master supports 31 addresses that can be used for standard
AS-i slaves or AS-i slaves with the extended addressing mode. This increases
the number of addressable AS-i slaves to a maximum of 62.
The extended AS-i masters of SIMATIC NET support the integrated transfer of
AS-Interface analog slaves that operate in compliance with Profile 7.3/7.4 of the
AS-Interface Specification.
Protected mode
In protected mode, the AS−i master exchanges data only with the configured
AS−i slaves. ”Configured” means that the slave addresses stored on the AS−i
master and the configuration data match the values of the existing AS-i slaves.

Technical description 1
1.10 AS-Interface operation with 24 V voltage (AS-i Power24V)
Description
The AS-Interface cable transports communication signals as well as supply voltage for the
modules and sensors / actuators (depending on module type). The nominal supply voltage is
normally 30 V DC and is supplied by an AS-Interface power supply unit. This power supply
unit also contains the data decoupling circuit required to operate the system.
Following enhancement of the AS-Interface specification in 2010, it is now possible to use a
nominal supply voltage of 24 V DC, which means that standard power supply units can be
employed. In this case, the following requirements must be fulfilled:
● An external data decoupling module is connected between the power supply unit and
other bus components (master and slaves).
● All components are approved for a 24 V DC supply voltage.
In order to limit the voltage drop on the AS-Interface cable, the maximum permissible cable
length specified for a 24 V DC supply voltage is 50 m. The extension plug cannot be used to
extend the cable length.
The AS-Interface method of communication is identical for both 30 V and 24 V supply
voltages. The possible number of addresses and slaves on the AS-Interface network is
therefore unaffected by the supply voltage used. Communication signals must be decoupled
from the power supply. The data decoupling circuit required is integrated in standard AS-
Interface power supply units (30 V DC).
CAUTION
Using a standard 24 V DC or 30 V DC power supply unit
 The AS-Interface system is designed to comply with protection class III (PELV) in
accordance with IEC 61140. For this reason, the standard 24 V DC or 30 V DC power
supply unit must also comply with these requirements!
 When you use a standard 24 V DC or 30 V DC power supply unit, you must install a
data decoupling module between the power supply unit and AS-Interface network!
Modules
● CP 343−2 (6GK7 343-2AH01-0XA0) and
● CP 343−2 P (6GK7 343-2AH11-0XA0)
with product version 02 or higher have been approved for operation with 24 V DC and
30 V DC.

Technical description
NOTICE
Voltage lower than 22.5 V on the AS-Interface
If the voltage on the AS-Interface is less than 22.5 V (+/-1 V),
 the CP 343−2 / CP 343−2 P generates the message "AS-i POWER FAIL" (APF) when
voltage monitoring is activated (setting in delivery state) and
 halts operation of the AS-Interface network.
The slaves connected to the AS-Interface network shut down automatically in response to
undervoltage.
In order to ensure fault-free operation under these conditions, voltage monitoring must be
deactivated!
Voltage monitoring is activated in the delivery state and the

CP 343-2 / CP 343-2 P module is thus preset for operation on a 30 V supply voltage.

special state.
To cancel this special state, the power supply to the SIMATIC station must be switched off.
NOTICE
Note on step 7 (storing the setting):
If you want to cancel the setting of the voltage monitoring without saving it, you must switch
off the power supply to the SIMATIC station instead of performing step 7.
The CP will be ready to run (normal operation) immediately after powering up.

Dealing with problems / error displays 7
7.1 Replacing a defective AS-i slave / automatic address programming
7.1.1 Automatic address programming after failure of one or more AS-i slaves (CP with
firmware version V3.1 or higher)
AS-i slave replacement with CP 343-2 (6GK7 343-2AH01-0XA0) and

CP 343-2 P (6GK7 343-2AH11-0XA0), product version 02/firmware version V3.1 or higher
The "Automatic address programming" function makes it particularly easy for you to
replace defective AS-i slaves.
Note
Automatic address programming:
You can use the automatic address programming function only if the CP is operating in
"protected mode" and one or more AS-i slaves have failed.
If several AS-i slaves have failed, the defective slaves must be uniquely identified in the
configuration by their slave profile (I/O configuration, ID code, ID2 code) and ID1 code. The
automatic address programming function does not work if two identical slaves have failed.
The automatic address programming function also supports slaves with the "CTT5" profile
(multi-address slaves) and AS-i devices which contain multiple internal slave addresses. A
precondition for support is that each internal slave is uniquely identified (I/O configuration,
ID code, ID2 code, ID1 code).
Examples of devices with multiple internal slave addresses which support automatic address
programming:
● K60 module with 8DI/2DO (3RK2400-1HQ00-0AA3)
● M200D motor starter AS-i standard (3RK1325- ...).
If no address has yet been assigned to these devices (setting in delivery state), only one
zero address is visible on the bus. The device automatically suppresses the other internal
zero addresses.

Dealing with problems / error displays
Note
Exceptions
Automatic address programming does not work on the following devices as the internal
slaves all have identical identifiers (I/O configuration, ID code, ID2 code, ID1 code).
 K60 module with 8 DI (3RK1200-0DQ00-0AA3, 3RK2200-0DQ00-0AA3,
3RK2200-1DQ00-1AA3)
 K45 safety-oriented module with 4 F-DI (3RK1205-0CQ00-0AA3).
Detection of a defective AS-i slave

An illuminated "AUP" LED signals the following (in "protected operation" only):
1. Slave failure:
● Exactly one slave has failed, or
● A device containing multiple different slaves has failed, or
● Multiple slaves or devices have failed, each of the failed slaves having a unique
configuration (identifier)
2. Automatic address programming by the CP 343-2 is possible.
You can identify a failed AS-i slave by flashing of the LED assigned to the slave on the front
plate.
The corresponding LEDs flash to indicate failure of a device with more than one internal
slave address.
Replacement of a defective AS-i slave

● Replace the defective AS-i slave by an identical AS-i slave with address "zero" (setting in
delivery state),or
● Replace the defective AS-I device (containing multiple internal slave addresses) by an
identical AS-i device with address "zero" on all internal slaves (setting in delivery state).
Note
Replacement of a defective AS-i slave:
Only one address "zero" may be configured on the bus at any one time. If you want to
replace several slaves or devices, you must replace them one after the other (with
AS-i master switched on).
For the new slave or device, the CP 343-2 programs the address or addresses of the original
node which has been replaced.
The LEDs "AUP" and "CER" go out once all slaves have been correctly replaced. The newly
added slave is signaled by illumination of the relevant LED.

7.1.2 Automatic address programming after failure of an AS-i slave (CP with firmware
version V3.0 or lower)
AS-i slave replacement with

● CP 343-2 (6GK7 343-2AH01-0XA0) and CP 343-2 P (6GK7 343-2AH11-0XA0),
product version 01 / firmware version V3.0 or earlier, and
● CP 343-2 (6GK7 343-2AH00-0XA0) and CP 343-2 P (6GK7 343-2AH10-0XA0),
all product versions or firmware version V2.x
Replacement
The "Automatic address programming" function makes it particularly easy for you to
replace defective AS-i slaves.
Note
Automatic address programming:
You can use the automatic address programming function only if the CP 343-2 is operating
in "protected mode" and only one AS-i slave has failed.
Slaves with the "CTT5" profile (multi-address slaves) do not support automatic address
programming.
Detection of a defective AS-i slave

An illuminated "AUP" LED signals the following (in "protected operation" only):
● Exactly one slave has failed
● Automatic address programming by the CP 343-2 is possible.
You can identify a failed AS-i slave by flashing of the LED assigned to the slave on the front
plate.
The corresponding LEDs flash to indicate failure of a device with more than one internal
slave address.
Replacement of a defective AS-i slave

Replace the defective AS-i slave by an identical AS-i slave with address "zero" (setting in
delivery state).
For this slave, the CP 343-2 programs the address of the original node which has been
replaced.
The LEDs "AUP" and "CER" go out once the slave has been correctly replaced. The
CP 343-2 signals the newly added slave by illumination of the relevant LED in the slave
display.
