3. TCP Installation

Furness device Siemens S7-PLC

3.1 TCP data exchange Step 7

The FB 65 "TCON" is an asynchronously functioning FB, i.e. the job processing extends over
several FB calls. You start the job for setting up and establishing the connection, by 65 call
the FB with REQ =. 1
Via the output parameter BUSY and the STATUS output parameter of the status of the job
appears. STATUS corresponds to the RET_VAL output parameter of asynchronously
operating SFCs (see also Meaning of REQ, RET_VAL and BUSY with Asynchronous SFCs).

The following table shows the relationships between BUSY, DONE and ERROR. With their
help, you can determine what condition the FB 65 currently located or when the connection is
established or is established (TCP and ISO on TCP).

BUSY DONE ERROR Description

TRUE irrelevant irrelevant The job is being processed.
FALSE TRUE FALSE The job was completed successfully.
FALSE FALSE TRUE The job was ended with an error. The cause of the
error can be found in the STATUS parameter.
FALSE FALSE FALSE The FB was not assigned a (new) job.

The TCON FB is called in the

OB1.

Set up the IP-address of the remote connection (Furness device):

e.g.: IP-address Furness: 192.168.101.101
Port Furness: 10001

Port PLC: 2000

Active connection: true
