OB 10 - 17 Time of day interrupts
OB 20 - 23 Timed interrupts
OB 30 - 38 Cyclic interrupts
OB 40 -47 Hardware Interrupts

Hi & welcome in the exciting world of SIMATIC programming.
As you may know, SIMATIC is manufactured by Siemens, a very big company, known all over the world.

So, there are some bad news & some good news about that.

First, the bad news:
PLC programming as a science as well as an art. This means that you have to:
1) read a LOT of manuals
2) read a LOT of code
3) have a good knowledge of engineering
4) write a LOT of programs

This means that you have to be always up-to-date, always learning new stuff and always do your own research.
It also means that is a difficult profession.

Well, the good news about that is that you can learn a LOT by visiting this - really big - site:
http://support.automation.siemens.com/

Take your time to navigate through it, there are literally millions of pages providing real application examples, manuals, FAQ, and last but no least the "FORUM"!!!...

So, it is a wise move to register yourself in the "FORUM", and start using the most exciting invention since man first created fire:
the SEARCH function!!!!

As I said, at first it can be difficult - even intimidating - for a newcomer to get a hold of the site...
But be patient, grasshopper, and you will soon find that all this knowledge is freely available by the wise PLC creator...
(although not all of it freely, but there are other places that solve that minor problem)

Oh, I nearly forgot: the best part of this particular profession (apart from the engineering title) is that YOU'RE GETTING PAID ENOUGH!!!

So, although one is new to the game, one should invest time and effort and all good things in order to learn.
