SIMATIC S7-1200/S7-1500 and SIMOTION: Acyclic Data Exchange
The standard libraries LAcycCom for SIMATIC S7-1200/S7-1500
and LDPV1 for SIMOTION provide a collision-free coordination
of communication resources in the CPU for
acyclic data exchange via DPV1 services.
Therefore the corresponding functions in these libraries
have to be used in the application instead of
the existing system functions for the communication
with external devices.
