Function overview and brief description of signal pool 

The signal pool contains signals for free use by the customer and for internal functions.

The signal sources are:

The signals are available as a bit word, byte word, data word (Word) (2 bytes), double word (DWord) (4 bytes), signed double word (signed DWord) (2 bytes) and signed double word (signed DWord) (4 bytes) signals. Every signal has a unique 2 byte identification number of the signal (signal ID).

Each signal has one source only. A signal can be used in none of the outputs, one of the outputs or in several outputs as well as internally. Each signal, before it is written into the signal pool, is checked by the source for plausibility and validity.

The signal pool is specific to the model series.

Signal pool input 

Each signal has just one source.

Signal pool output 

Each signal can be assigned through coding to one or more outputs as well as be used internally. Individual signals may be dependent on other signals, e.g. terminal 15.

Signal types 

The following signal types exist:

Status display 

The value of each signal from the signal pool can be read out using the diagnosis service "Read PLC signal pool". This diagnosis service is only available in the "Extended Session".
