3 Function Mechanisms of this Application
3.1 The function block SND_SMS[FB17] in detail

Introduction
The following S7 stations are configured in the sample project:
"PROFINET CPU" (SND_SMS[FB17])
"CPU with IE CP" (SND_SMS_CP[FB18])
This chapter provides a detailed description of the user blocks SND_SMS[FB17]
and SND_SMS_CP[FB18] with regard to the core functionality and the internal
functional sequences.

The SND_SMS[FB17] block is called in OB1. The input and output parameters of
the SND_SMS[FB17] are stored in the global DB SMS_PARAM[DB11]. (For your
solution, you can store these values in different data blocks.)
For sending an SMS message, the S7 CPU has to establish a TCP/IP connection
to the SCALANCE M873 / M875 at the integrated PN interface. Via this TCP/IP
connection, the application sends the telegram (Section 3.3) to the SCALANCE
M873 / M875, which extracts the SMS message and forwards it. For TCP/IP
communication, the open communication blocks TCON, TSEND, and TDISCON
are used in the SCL block SND_SMS[FB17].

(For your solution, you can store these values in different data blocks.)
For sending an SMS message, the PN/IE CP has to establish a TCP/IP connection
to the SCALANCE M873 / M875. Via this TCP/IP connection, the application sends
the telegram (Section 3.3) to the SCALANCE M873 / M875, which extracts the
SMS message and forwards it. For TCP/IP communication, the AG_SEND[FC5]
function is used in the SCL block SND_SMS_CP[FB18] for open communication.

3.4 Error and status display
SMS messaging requires authentication. Therefore, the telegram contains a

Username and Password which also have to entered correspondingly in the Web
user interface of the SCALANCE M873 / M875 at "SMS messaging from the local
network".
Note The username and password in the SMS_PARAM[DB11] /

SMS_CP_PARAM[DB12] and in the configuration of the SCALANCE M873 /
M875 have to be identical. If this is not the case, the SMS message is not sent.
In this case, SCALANCE M873 / M875 does not give any feedback to the
SND_SMS[FB17] / SND_SMS_CP[FB18] block.

The function block SND_SMS[FB17] / SND_SMS_CP[FB18] provides a STATUS
output for error diagnosis. By reading the STATUS output of the function block, you
get information about logical errors and error messages that might occur in the
communication between the control unit and SCALANCE M873 / M875.
The error messages are structure such that the first word indicates the block which
triggered this message; for example, the error message 16#000180A3 was
triggered by TCON. The table below provides a list of possible error messages.

7 Glossary
7 Glossary
EDGE
is the abbreviation for "Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution" and is a faster data
transmission service than GPRS (however, EDGE also operates via the GSM
mobile networks). EDGE can be used for connection-oriented HSCSD and as a
further development of the packet-oriented UMTS. Since the packet-oriented
variant EGPRS is much more efficient, development is more and more focused on
EGPRS.
GPRS
General Packet Radio Service; an expansion of the GSM standard for packet-
oriented data transmission.
GSM
Global System for Mobile Communication is a global standard for digital mobile
networks.
SMS
Short Message Service is a telecommunication service for transmitting text
messages.
UMTS
UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) is a mobile wireless network
of the 3rd generation that allows significantly higher data transfer rates than the
GSM networks of the 2nd generation. UMTS provides not only voice transmission,
IP-based data transmission and SMS transmission but also the option of
transmitting video applications.
