Posted 15 Mar 2018 I Also dont know Siemens. What is an OB? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Mar 2018 OB is operation block. Schneider don't speak about DB, FC and OB. Schneider speak about EF - elementar functions, DFB - derivate function blocks and data I think OB Siemens = DFB Schneider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 15 Mar 2018 Sounds like a function or function block to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Mar 2018 (edited) Hi, OB means organization Block, it can't be compared with Schneider DFB. OB121 and OB122 are specials organization blocks that can be used to avoid to stop the processor when a programming error occurs (OB121) or I.O error (OB122). So don't look at this on Schneider Plcs, they don't exist so you don't need it :) JC Edited 19 Mar 2018 by acpi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Mar 2018 (edited) use online help and search for %S and %SW - by using system bits /words you can setup if the PLC should stop Edited 19 Mar 2018 by Quant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Mar 2018 You're right, some Schneider plcs system bits could be used to "emulate" some OB, but in this particular case it's not really interesting. With a Siemens Step7 Plc, if you address a memory area that doesn't exist, your plc will stop. If you add OB121 (that is not present by default when you create your project) it will not. It's really a totally different philosophy between Siemens and Schneider and it's not a good idea to try to do with a Schneider plc what you did with a Siemens.
