This document provides instructions for connecting an AST30 sequence controller to a Siemens S7 PLC via Profibus DP. It describes the necessary hardware and software setup, including installing a GSD file and blocks. Commands that can be sent from the PLC to the AST30 to control a screw driving cycle are outlined, such as starting and finishing a cycle. Wiring, an instance data block description, initialization parameters and standard communication procedures are also summarized.

General Profibus connection for AST30 sequence controller offers the possibility to start the single screwdriving sequences and to download final values and parameters of the screwdriving cycle to the plc. All needed software is available in the software package DEPRAG_AST30.zip.
Connection Profi-bus has to be connected with connection GX8 (Baud-Rate: 1,5 MBits) of AST30 controller (see chapter 7 of the handbook: Controller AST30 - Hardware Description) Additional pin 14 (emergency stop) on connection GC30 has to be connected to 24V. To use profibus special device data has to be loaded to the AST30 (DEPR_DP.ngd). Please refer to LOADER manual.
2.1 Wiring
2.2 Hardware To connect AST30 to a Siemens S7 the following steps are necessary: - Unzip of software package DEPRAG_AST30.zip. - Insert GSD-file - Installation in hardware Please note: input and output have to be within the same range.
2.3 Software For controlling AST30 by Profibus the following blocks are needed. All blocks are keeped in the archive. For each AST30 FB110 has only to be called once with an instance block.

2.8 Functions that can be controlled via profibus DP Command 37, start screw driving cycle This command starts a screw driving cycle. The parameter contains the number of the program which is to be executed. The output stage is activated during the command (CNC_ON = 1). The command will only be executed, if -- the AST30 is in the operational mode AUTOMATIC (CNC_RUN = 1) The command is finished, if -- the process has been terminated completely -- a malfunction has occurred -- the command has been aborted (CMD_BYTE = 0) Command number CMD_BYTE = 37 Call condition CNC_RUN = 1 Call parameter CMD_PAR = byte 7 = variant number Return value during the execution CNC_PAR = depending on the firmware and application Return value after finishing the command CNC_ERR = 1 -> error CNC_SB2 = CNC_ERR = 1 -> error code, CNC_ERR = 0 -> message code CNC_SB3 = last or faulty section CNC_PAR = depending on the firmware and application
Command 39, finish screw driving cycle
This command finishes a screw driving cycle. The parameter states if final values are to be generated. the command (CNC_ON = 1). The command will only be executed, if -- the AST30 is in the operational mode AUTOMATIC (CNC_RUN = 1) The command will also be executed, if An error occurs (CNC_ERR <> 0) The command cannot be aborted. Command number CNC_BYTE = 39 Call condition CNC_RUN = 1 Call parameter CNC_PAR=0 -> abort screw driving cycle Return value during the execution CNC_ERR = 1 -> error Return value after finishing the command CNC_ERR = 1 -> error CNC_SB1 = CNC_ERR = 1 -> error code, CNC_ERR = 0 -> message code
