+ How is numerical integration for the S7-1200/1500 programmed in STEP 7 (TIA Portal)? (2013-10-01) [42469594]
Instructions The integral is the mathematical calculation of the area under a given function curve. However, there is often no mathematical correlation in practice, but rather an analog value which varies over time. The integral calculation includes the totaling of those trapezoidal areas that spread between the last two function values and the time. This trapezoidal area is identical to the product of the average of the two process values and the time interval. ...

 + Which SNMP requests can the S7-1200 receive and reply to? (2013-09-02) [79993228]
Description The S7-1200 supports the transfer of management information over the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The S7-1200 can receive and reply to SNMP requests. Information about the properties of SNMP-compatible devices is available in the so-called MIB files (Management Information Base). The S7-1200 can reply to the SNMP variables of the following MIBs: MIB II, standardized in RFC 1213 ...
