how to program the OB35 in s7

[sakha-ur-rashid]

Hello guys can someone give me the idea about the programming concepts of the OBs.I have searched the website but i coudnt get any idea of programming the organisational blocks in s7.Can someone give me the links about the programming of organisational blocks.

Insert OB35 into your blocks folder and then press F1 to get the Siematic help. If you want to set a different interrupt time you have to change it using the h/w config editor via the CPU properties.

thanks for ur reply but i have a problem to program the ob35 and other obs i need a detailed manual where i learn about the obs.I study the manual in the s7 software package and also used the online help but I was confused when I studied them.I need the tips and tricks to program the obs.If you know the website relating to obs plz mention them.thanks

There are no tips and tricks. Any code you want to run in a timed interrupt you call from OB35. Any code you want to run in the free scan you call from OB1. You need to be very specific with your problem.

I'm not sure if your question is 'What is an OB' or 'How do I enter my logic in an OB'. So I'll take the easy one first.

OBs are programmed just like any other block using any of the available programming languages. Just enter your code and go. As L D said, you will need to insert the OB into your program block structure in order to use it.

Now for what is an OB. All of the OBs are called by the processor. You don't need to do anything specific to get an OB to run. The processor will trigger this. In fact, if the processor determines it needs to run an OB and the OB isn't prpesent in the code the processor will fault. So in that way the OBs are not like functions or function blocks. OBs do not need to be called. If you use the Step7 help and search on 'OB' you shuld get a list of the available OBs. You will notice that the OBs have names like 'Cold Restart' and 'I/O Error' and things like that. The specific OB and the code it contains is run automatically when the processors determines it's needed.

Hello shaka-ur-rashid;

i need a detailed manual where i learn about the obs

There are 2 places where you will find detailed explanations about Organization Blocks:
-the Online Help of Step 7, as already mentionned;
-The System and Standard Functions manual; this is inserted on your PC with Step 7, under Simatic--> Documentation, or can be downloaded from the Siemens support website.
Note that you can also know which are the OBs available for your particular CPU by looking at the CPU properties in the HWConfig editor.
Hope this helps,
