CP521
Preface
Preface
The CP 521 is a powerful printer/ ASCII communications module for the S5-1OOU
programmable controller. To be able to make the best use of the module, you
require detailed information.
The performance of the
S5-1 OOU is constantly being increased. For this reason,
the manual of the
S5- 10OU has become very large.
This manual only gives facts and examples which are relevant to the
CP 521.
Demands for a higher quality of technical documentation have also been met,
which means:
. Standardization of terminology
●
More detailed breakdown of subjects
●
Illustration of individual problems
●
User-friendly arrangement of the contents
The aim is that both users with little previous experience and SIMATIC S5 experts
.should find all the information that they require to work with the CP 521.
However, the applications are so numerous that not all the problems that might
occur can be dealt with in one manual. For other problems, please ask your
Siemens representative for advice.

CP 521 Introduction
Introduction
It is important to study the introduction carefully before reading the rest of the
manual. This will help you to use the manual and will save you time.
Description of contents
This manual is a comprehensive description of the CP 521. The manual can be
divided into blocks according to topics.
• Description
- The "System Overview" contains information on the tasks the module can
perform and on how the module is used in the S5-100U.
- The "Technical Description" contains general information on the principle
of operation of the module, technical specifications, details of the serial
interface and input/output (I/O) modules, and a list of accessories.
• Installation and operation
- The "Hardware Installation" contain all the information you require to
install the module and connect it to a printer or other peripheral device
(connector pin assignments and terminal diagrams).
- "Notes on Operation" describes restart characteristics and actual
operation. This chapter also contains the error messages that can occur
during startup.
• Principle of operation and addressing
- This is a general description of how data transfer between the CPU, the
CP 521 and the I/O modules is coordinated.
- This chapter also describes how the module is addressed.
• Functional description
We have devoted a separate chapter to the "Printer mode" and the "ASCII
mode". Each of these chapters contains the information necessary for
programming the module for the relevant mode. This saves you time-
consuming searches in the manual.

Introduction CP521
• Appendix A: Summary
All the information you require to operate the CP 521 has been gathered
together here in list form. This is for those users who have read the manual
and wish to find some brief item of information quickly.
• Appendix B: Application example
This recaps all user inputs from installation through cabling to programming
illustrated by the way of example of a point-to-point connection.
The application example illustrates the ASCII mode and contains an exe-
cutable program.
Since the module can only be used in conjunction with the S5-100 U, it is assumed
that you have a copy of the S5-100U manual.The basic information on the STEP 5
programming language contained in the S5-100U manual is sufficient for
operating the CP 521.
Conventions
In order to improve the readability of the manual, a menu-style breakdown has
been used, i.e.:
• The individual chapters can be quickly located by means of a thumb register.
• There is an overview containing the headings of the individual chapters at the
beginning of the manual.
• Each chapter is preceded by a breakdown of its subject matter.
The individual chapters are subdivided into sections and subsections. Boldface
type is used for further subdivisions.
• Pages, figures and tables are numbered separately in each chapter. The page
following the chapter breakdown contains a list of the figures and tables
appearing in that particular chapter.

CP 521 Introduction
Certain conventions were observed when writing the manual. These are
explained below.
• A number of abbreviations have been used.
Example: Programmer (PG)
• Footnotes are identified by superscripts consisting of a small digit (e.g. "1") or
"*". The actual footnote is generally at the bottom left of the page or below
the relevant table or figure.
• Cross-references are shown as follows:
"(7.3.2)" refers to subsection 7.3.2.
No references are made to individual pages
• All dimensions in drawings etc. are given in millimetres/inches (mm/in.).
• Information of particular importance is framed in
grey-bordered rectangles.

• All data in connection with the programmer refers to the English version of
the PG 615 and PG 685. The relevant user manual contains a detailed
description of programming procedures with this programmer.
• Alle Angaben zu den Programmiergeräten beziehen sich auf die deutschen
Versionen des PG 615 und PG 685. Eine ausführliche Beschreibung der Pro-
grammierung mit diesen Geräten finden Sie in den zugehörigen Bedienungs-
anleitungen.
Manuals can only describe the current version of the programmer. Should
modifications or supplements become necessary in the course of time, a
supplement will be prepared and included in the manual the next time it is
revised. The relevant version or edition of the manual appears on the cover. The
present manual is edition "2". In the event of a revision, the edition number will
be incremented by "1".
At the end of the manual you will find correction forms.Please enter in these
forms any suggestions you may have in the way of improvements or corrections
and send them to us. Your comments will help us to improve the next edition.
