Area of use of the units

The units have been conceived for easy machine operation and monitoring. Theyprovide a realistic graphical representation of the machine or system to bemonitored. Their area of use include implementation in machine and apparatusconstruction as well as in the packing and electronics industry.

The high degree of protection (IP65 on the front side) and non-implementation ofmoving storage media, such as hard disks and floppy disks, ensure the operatingunits are also suitable for use in rough industrial environments and directly on siteon the respective machine.

Installation locations for the units include:

S Panels

S Consoles

As a result of their minimum installation depth, the units are particularly suited foroperation near the machine.

Easy to operate and observe

The units enable operating statuses, current process values and errors concerninga connected PLC to be graphically displayed and the relevant machine or systemto be easily monitored and operated. Display and operation of the units can beadapted optimally for the respective process requirements by using theconfiguration software ProTool CS.

The units can be used to:

S control and monitor the process by means of the menu system. Setpoint valuesor control element settings, for instance, can be modified by entering values oractivating configured function keys;

S display processes, machines and systems on full-graphic, dynamic screens;

S display and edit messages and, for example, process tags in output fields, andto visualize bars or status display;

S to intervene directly in processes via the Touch Screen (TP170 A, TP170 B) orusing the integrated keyboard (OP170 B).

Introduction


Configuring using ProTool/Pro CS, ProTool and ProTool/Lite

Graphics, texts and operating and display elements which need to be representedon the operating units must first be created on a configuration computer (PC orPU) using the configuration software SIMATIC ProTool/Pro CS, ProTool orProTool/Lite. The configuration computer must be connected to the operating unitin order to download the project to the operating unit (refer to “Configurationphase” in Figure 1-1).

Once the project has been successfully downloaded, connect the operating unit tothe PLC. The operating unit can then communicate with the PLC and respondaccording to the information configured for running the program in the PLC (refer to“Process control phase” in Figure 1-1).

Operating Touch Panels TP170 A andTP170 B

Operating concept

The screen is used to observe the operating status of the machine or system beingmonitored and, at the same time, to intervene directly in the process runningsimply by touching the buttons and input fields displayed.

4.1 Operating Touch Elements

Definition

Touch elements are contact-sensitive operating elements provided on the touchpanel screen, such as buttons, input fields and message windows. Their operationis basically no different from pressing conventional keys. Touch elements areoperated by touching them lightly with your finger or a suitable object.

Note

Never use pointed or sharp instruments to operate the Touch Panel to preventdamage to the plastic surface of the touch screen.

!Caution

Be sure to touch only one point on the touch panel screen element. Never touchmore than one touch element at a time. Otherwise, an action may beunintentionally initiated.

S Input fields

After an input field has been touched, the screen keyboard illustrated inFigure 4-1 appears as acknowledgement of the operation.



4.1.1 Enter Numeric Values

Principles of operation

In order to enter numeric values, the touch panel automatically displays a numericscreen keyboard after touching an input field, for example. Keys on the keyboardwhich are available for operation are highlighted as 3D keys, those not availableare simply displayed as areas. After completing the input, the screen keyboard isautomatically hidden.

Figure 4-1 illustrates an example of the screen keyboard for entering numericvalues. The keys A to F for entering hexadecimal values are inoperable in thisexample. The Help key (TP170 B) is only displayed when help text has beenconfigured for that particular input field.

Backspace Deletes the character to theleft of the current cursorposition.

Procedure

Numeric values are entered character by character using the input keys on thescreen keyboard. If a value already exists in the field, this is deleted on enteringthe first character. After beginning entering a value, it is impossible to exit from thefield without either confirming the entry or canceling it.

Characters entered are aligned to the right. On entering a new character, all thosealready entered are shifted one position to the left (pocket calculator format).

Invalid characters are rejected and an error message appears. On exceeding themaximum number of characters, the last character entered is overwritten.

Confirm the value entered by pressing ENTER or cancel the input by pressing ESC.The window is closed in both cases.



Limit value test

Limit values can be configured for numeric input fields. In this case, valuesentered are only accepted when they lie within the limits configured. If an attemptis made to enter a value which is outside the configured limits, it is rejected and theoriginal value automatically reinserted.

4.1.2 Enter Alphanumeric Values


In order to enter alphanumeric values, the touch panel automatically displays analphanumeric screen keyboard after touching an input field. Keys on the keyboardwhich are available for operation are highlighted as 3D keys, those not availableare simply displayed as areas. After completing the input, the screen keyboard isautomatically hidden.

Figure 4-2 illustrates an example of a normal screen keyboard to enteralphanumeric values. The Help key (TP170 B) is only displayed when help text hasbeen configured for that particular input field.

Toggle between the two levels by pressing the SHIFT key.

Figure 4-3 Screen keyboard for alphanumeric values, Shift level

Procedure

Characters entered are aligned to the left. Following each entry, the cursor skips tothe right to the next entry position.

If an alphanumeric input field already contains a value, it is displayed in reversedcolors and deleted as the new value is entered. In order to edit an existing value,press one of the cursor keys as the first entry. On pressing CURSOR LEFT, the cursorremains on the first character, after pressing CURSOR RIGHT it skips to the secondcharacter. In this case, the value reverts back to its normal representation and canbe edited.

On exceeding the maximum number of characters, the last character entered isoverwritten.



Confirm the value entered by pressing ENTER or cancel the input by pressing ESC.The window is closed in both cases.

The current input position is displayed in inverse colors. Invalid characters (e.g.values greater than 23 when specifying the time for a clock) are rejected and anerror message appears. On exceeding the maximum number of characters whichcan be entered, the last character entered is overwritten.

Note

The characters available and layout of the alphanumeric screen keyboard areindependent of the language set on the operating unit.

6.1 General Operation

In this chapter

This chapter contains information on how to operate screens and logging in andout of the operating unit.

6.1.1 Operating Screens

What is a screen?

Screens visualize the progress of processes and display specified process values.A screen contains logically related process data which the operating unit can bothdisplay and modify by operating the individual values.

Screen partitions

A screen is basically composed of static and dynamic sections. The terms “static”and “dynamic” do not refer to the possibility of dynamically positioning screenpartitions but to the connection to the PLC.

Static partitions, e.g. text and graphics, are not updated by the PLC. Dynamicpartitions, e.g. input and output fields, trend view and bars, are linked to the PLCand display current values constantly read in from the PLC memory. Theirconnection to the PLC is established by means of tags.

A summary of all the screen objects which the operating unit may contain isprovided on Page 6-4.

Select screen

There are several ways in which to select a screen:

S ButtonPressing a button opens the corresponding screen defined in the configuration.

S Input fieldEnter the corresponding number of the screen to be viewed in the input field.



6.1.2 Logging On and Off from the Operating Unit

Purpose

During the configuration, input fields and buttons can be protected againstunauthorized operation by assigning passwords. Important parameters andsettings can then only be modified by authorized personnel. The password isdefined at the moment the element is configured and cannot be modified via theoperating unit.

Login

If operating elements are to be assigned password protection in the configuration,it must be possible for the operator to log in. In this case, the function Login_usermust be linked with an operating element, preferably an input field, in theconfiguration.

In order to access a password protected operating element during runtime, it isnecessary to log in on the operating unit. It is then possible to access all passwordprotected operating elements up to the point of logging off from the operating unit.

When correspondingly configured, it is also possible to log on via an input field forconfidential password entry. The character string entered is represented byplaceholders (*).

Logoff

In order to rule out operation by unauthorized personnel, the login should notremain active on the operating unit for too long a period of time. The followingoptions are available with which to log off from the operating unit:

S Configured logout time expiresIf the operating unit is not operated by the user within the configured period(logout time), he is automatically logged off from the operating unit.

S Log out of the operating unitIf the configuration links the function Logoff_user with an operating element, theelement can be used to log off from the operating unit.

TipIt is possible to log off by entering an incorrect password.

6.2 Overview of Screen Objects

Table 6-1 provides a summary of the various screen objects which a TP170 Aproject may contain.

Table 6-1 Screen objects configurable for the TP170 A

Screen object Use/Description

Text Text is used during configuration to label operating anddisplay elements, for example. Text can be configuredover several lines and cannot be altered on theoperating unit.

Graphics Graphics can be used in the configuration, e.g. torepresent a system or as an illustrative symbol forconfigured display and operating elements.

Output field The output field displays the current value in numericor alphanumeric form.

Input field Enter a value in the input field. The values can be innumeric or alphanumeric form. Entries which lieoutside the specified value range are rejectedaccording to the limit values which have beenconfigured.

The input can be protected by means of a password.

Status button A Status button is a display and operating elementwhich has one of two states: Touched and Untouched.The states can be indicated by means of text orgraphics.

The Status button can be configured to be locking(switch function) or non-locking (keying function).

Bar Bar graphs present a value in the form of a rectangulararea. The operating unit thus provides a clearindication of how far the current value is from the limitvalues, or if a setpoint value has been reached, at aglance. Bars are often used to represent fill levels orworkpiece numbers.

Direction, scaling and labeling the axis can beconfigured as required. In order to identify limit values,limit value lines can be called in.

Simple message view Special filter criteria for displaying pending messagesare configured in the message view.

Notes on operation are provided on Page 6-8.



6.3 Input Field for Date/Time

Purpose

The input field for date and time serves to enter calendar dates and the time. Theinput format is dependent on the language currently set on the operating unit. Thefigure below illustrates examples of input fields for date and time in Englishlanguage format.

6.4 Input Field for Confidential Password Entry

Purpose

When a password is entered in the input field for confidential passwords, thecharacters are represented by placeholders (*). The figure below illustrates anexample.



Release 07/00

6.5 Status Button

Purpose

The Status button is an operating and display element with the two states Pressedand Released. Status buttons indicate the status of a unit which cannot bedetermined from the operating unit (e.g. a motor). At the same time, it is alsopossible to change the status of the unit concerned on the operating unit.

Behavior

The behavior of the Status button can be configured:

S Switch:The switch has two stable states. It toggles from one state to the other eachtime it is operated, and remains in the respective state until it is operated again.

S Key:The button has a fixed, stable home position. When operated, it switches to thestatus pressed and remains in this state as long as it is kept pressed. Whenreleased, it automatically switches back to its released position.

Functions which have been assigned to the Status button can be triggered, forexample, by the following configurable events:

S Status changeS PrintingS Releasing

If the status of a switch type Status button changes as a result of a modification ofconfigured tags, not through operation, the corresponding function is not executed.

Display

The two indicator statuses of the types Switch and Button with acknowledgementcan be assigned different texts or graphics in /Pro CS which are displayed on theStatus button during runtime.

Figure 6-1 illustrates an example of a switch type Status button when pressed (left)and not pressed (right).

Figure 6-1 The two statuses relate to the Status button when the Switch option is set

Operation

Touch the Status button on the operating unit.



6.6 Messages

What are messages?

Messages which appear on the operating unit indicate events and statuses relatedto the control process and operating unit itself. A message can contain text andtags.

The TP170 A differentiates between event messages and system messages:

S Event messagesindicate a status in the process, for example, Motor ON.Event messages are configured. They are triggered when a bit is set in thePLC.

S System Messagesare triggered by the operating unit. They are not configured.System messages indicate, for example, incorrect operations or communicationfaults. A time period can be considered for system messages in theconfiguration software. This defines how long a system message appears onthe operating unit.

A list of the most important system messages is provided in the Appendix C.

Message events

These messages are triggered according to events. Message events on theTP170 A include:

S Message arrivalA message which has been triggered is considered as having arrived. As soonas message is triggered, it is displayed in the operating unit message view andis then considered as queued.

S Message departureA message is considered as having departed when its configured time periodhas expired or the event causing the message is no longer present. As soon asa message has departed it is deleted from the message view.



Release 07/00

Message view

The TP170 A displays messages which have arrived in the message view. Ifseveral messages are present simultaneously on the operating unit, the oldestmessage in the queue is deleted.

It is possible to define specific views of the messages to be displayed in themessage view. Various filter criteria is available for this in the configurationsoftware.

The following can be configured

S Message categories (event and system messages)S Number of columnsS Number of lines per messageS Sorting (oldest or latest message at the top)S Maximum number of visible messages

6.7 Bar graphs

Purpose

Bar graphs present a value in the form of a rectangular area. The operating unitthus provides a clear indication of how far the current value is from the limit values,or if a setpoint value has been reached, at a glance. Bar graphs can be used todisplay fill levels or quantities, for example.

Display

It is possible to configure minimum and maximum values and the direction a bargraph moves by increasing the tag value:

7.1.1 Operating screens

What is a screen?

Screens visualize the progress of processes and display specified process values.A screen contains logically related process data which the operating unit can bothdisplay and modify by operating the individual values.

Screen partitions

A screen is basically composed of static and dynamic sections. The terms “static”and “dynamic” do not refer to the possibility of dynamically positioning screenpartitions but to the connection to the PLC.

Static partitions, e.g. text and graphics, are not updated by the PLC. Dynamicpartitions, e.g. input and output fields, trend view and bars, are linked to the PLCand display current values constantly read in from the PLC memory. Theirconnection to the PLC is established by means of tags.

A summary of all the screen objects which the operating unit may contain isprovided in Chapter 7.2.

Fixed window

The fixed window is an area at the top of the screen. The height of the fixedwindow can be configured. Since the content of the fixed window is independent ofthe screen currently displayed, it is especially suited for displaying importantprocess magnitudes or date and time.

An operating element configured in the fixed window is available in every screen.When using touch panels, for example, a button can be configured in the fixedwindow to represent a globally effective function key.



Icons (OP170 B)

Icons are graphics of a fixed size located at the bottom and sides of the screen.They are defined during configuration and clearly indicate the screen-specificfunctions of the softkeys in graphic form.

After pressing the respective softkey, the function symbolized by the icon isactivated either on the OP170 B or the PLC.

Message indicator

The message indicator is a configured graphical symbol which isdisplayed on the screen when at least one alarm message has beenreceived by the operating unit.The indicator continues to blink as long as unacknowledged messagesare present.The number (in this case 3) represents the number of alarm messagespresent.

In the case of the TP170 B, the message indicator can be operated.

Operating the message indicator on the TP170 BThe response of the message indicator is dependent on whether or not alarmmessages are present on the TP170 B which still have to be acknowledged at themoment the indicator is touched.

S No alarm messages to be acknowledged:The alarm message page is opened after operating the message indicator(Page 7-19).

S Alarm messages to be acknowledged:The alarm message window is opened after operating the message indicator(Page 7-17).

7.5 Buttons

Purpose

A button is a virtual key located on the operating unit screen. Functions which havebeen assigned to buttons can be triggered, for example, by the following,configurable events:

S ClickingS PressingS Releasing

Display

S LabelingButtons can be labeled statically or dynamically. In the case of dynamiclabeling, the text or graphic on the button changes during runtime according tothe value of a configured tag.

S Operation acknowledgementAs soon as the operating element detects a valid operation, it responds with avisual acknowledgement. The acknowledgement, however, does not infer thatthe required action is actually being executed.

Figure 7-1 illustrates an example of a button when pressed (right) and not pressed(left).

Figure 7-1 Example of a button

Hidden buttons

Hidden buttons are transparent buttons which may lie over graphics, for example.This enables plant parts which are graphically displayed on the operating unit to beoperated easily (e.g. a motor or valve). If a hidden button is selected on theoperating unit, its contour becomes visible as long as the button remains selected.The contour enables the user to detect the operable area of the button.

OperationS Key operation

Select the button, e.g. using the cursor keys and press either the Enter key orSpacebar.

S Touch operationTouch the button on the operating unit touch panel.



7.6 Status Button

Purpose

The Status button is an operating and display element with the two states Pressedand Released. Status buttons indicate the status of a unit which cannot bedetermined from the operating unit (e.g. a motor). At the same time, it is alsopossible to change the status of the unit concerned on the operating unit.

Behavior

The behavior of the Status button can be configured:

S Switch:The switch has two stable states. It toggles from one state to the other eachtime it is operated, and remains in the respective state until it is operated again.

S Key:The button has a fixed, stable home position. When operated, it switches to thestatus pressed and remains in this state as long as it is kept pressed. Whenreleased, it automatically switches back to its released position.

Functions which have been assigned to the Status button can be triggered, forexample, by the following configurable events:

S Status changeS PrintingS Releasing

If the status of a switch type Status button changes as a result of a modification ofconfigured tags, not through operation, the corresponding function is not executed.

Display

The two indicator statuses of the types Switch and Button with acknowledgementcan be assigned different texts or graphics in /Pro CS which are displayed on theStatus button during runtime.

Select the Status button, e.g. using the cursor keys, and press either the Enterkey or Spacebar.

S Touch operationTouch the Status button on the operating unit touch panel.



7.7 Switch

Purpose

A switch serves for the input and output of a binary status. It can only be switchedon or off. It is linked to a tag to do this. The status OFF corresponds to the value 0(a logical FALSE) of the tag linked to the switch. All tag values other than zero (alogical TRUE) are interpreted as the status ON.

Behavior

Functions which have been assigned to the switch, can be triggered, for example,by the following, configurable events:

S Change of statusS Switch onS Switch off

If the switch status changes due to a change of the configured tag, none of theevents described is triggered.

Display

7.8 Messages

Message categories

Messages indicate control-process events and states on the operating unit. Theoperating unit differentiates between the following message categories:

S Event messagesindicate a status in the process, for example, Motor ON. Event messages areconfigured.

S Alarm messagesindicate an equipment failure, for example, Motor temperature too high.Alarm messages are configured. Alarm messages must be acknowledged dueto their critical nature.

S System messagesare triggered by the operating unit. They are not configured. System messagesindicate, for example, incorrect operations or communication faults. A selectionof important system messages is provided in Appendix C.

S S7 system messagesprovide information on the status of the SIMATIC S7. They are not configured inthe ProTool CS configuration software. Refer to the S7 manual for the errornumber indicated on the operating panel to determine the cause of the error.

Acknowledging alarm messagesAlarm messages must be acknowledged due to their importance. Thiscan be done manually on the operating unit or automatically by the PLC.The message indicator depicted continues to be displayed as long asalarm messages are still present on the operating unit when this featurehas been configured.

In order to acknowledge alarm messages on the OP170 B manually,press the key depicted on the right. The LED integrated in the key lightsup when unacknowledged alarm messages are present.In the case of the TP170 B, the message indicator can be operated.

Operating the message indicator on the TP170 BThe response of the message indicator is dependent on whether or not alarmmessages are present on the TP170 B which still have to be acknowledged at themoment the indicator is touched.

S No alarm messages to be acknowledged:The alarm message page is opened after operating the message indicator(Page 7-19).

S Alarm messages to be acknowledged:The alarm message window is opened after operating the message indicator(Page 7-17).

Use the button illustrated to close the alarm window in order to operatescreens. The alarm message window can be opened again by touching themessage indicator.



Buffering messages

All message events (arrived, departed, acknowledged) are stored in an internalvolatile buffer. If a message archive has been configured, the message events arealso stored in this message archive.

Display messages

The events stored in the message buffer can be displayed according to differentcriteria. The following predefined objects are available for display purposes:

S Message line (refer to Page 7-17)S Message window (refer to Page 7-17)S Message page (refer to Page 7-19)S Message buffer (refer to Page 7-20)S Message view

-- Message view with full functionality (refer to Page 7-21)-- Simple message view with restricted functionality (refer to Page 7-23)

Deleting messages

All message events concerning event and alarm messages are automaticallystored in the message buffer. There are two methods of deleting messages fromthe buffer:

S Automatic deletion on buffer overflowWhen the message buffer is no longer capable of accepting new messageevents, the operating unit automatically deletes a number of message eventsuntil the configured remaining buffer capacity is reached. In this case, the oldestmessages are deleted first.

S Deletion by operating the operating unitIn order that messages can be deleted manually from the message buffer, thefunction Clear_message_buffer must be available in the configuration. In thisway, the following message categories can be selected for deletion according tothe configuration:-- All messages-- Alarm messages-- Event messages-- System messages

Print messages

When correspondingly configured, event messages can be printed out directlywhen the message events Arrived and Departed occur, and also alarm messageswhen the event Acknowledged occurs. System messages are not logged.

Information on setting printer parameters is provided in Chapter 9-12.



Release 07/00

7.8.1 ALARM_S

Definition

ALARM_S is an active message procedure. If an alarm occurs, the CPU activelyissues the respective message to all the network participants which are logged on.This means that the operating unit is relieved of continuous polling of the messagearea.

Configuring ALARM_S messages

ALARM_S messages are not configured in ProTool CS but in STEP 7. Themessage numbers are automatically assigned during configuration in STEP 7. Theunique assignment of the message text is made according to these numbers.

The display of ALARM_S messages on the operating unit can only be configuredwhen a SIMATIC S7 PLC is used and the /Pro CS configuration software has beenintegrated in STEP 7.

Detailed information on the configuration of ALARM_S messages is available in theProAgent/MP and ProAgent/PC user guides.

Note

Restarting S7 CPUs:Depending on the hardware configuration of the CPUs, it is possible that undercertain circumstances all queued ALARM_S messages will be deleted when S7CPUs are restarted. Older stocks of S7 300 CPUs cannot inform the operatingunits involved of the restart. The result of this is that messages are indicated onthe operating unit as being queued although the CPU has already deleted them.

Remedy:Restart the operating unit.



7.8.2 Message Line

Purpose

When a message line has been configured it is always displayed, regardless of thescreen selected. The message line displays the last alarm or event messagereceived.

Display priorities

Alarm messages always have priority over event messages. If no alarm messagesare present or they have all been acknowledged, event messages are displayed.

In order to differentiate between them, alarm messages flash in the display.

7.8.3 Message Window

Purpose

The message window displays all messages which are present which have no timestamp. It is possible to configure how the alarm messages are sorted. It is alsopossible to select whether the latest or oldest message is displayed first.

7.12 Password List

Purpose

While the system is being configured using ProTool CS, operating elements can beprotected against unauthorized use by means of passwords. Important parametersand settings can then only be modified by authorized personnel.

Password hierarchy

Hierarchically defined password levels from 0 to 9 exist for password protectionpurposes. When a password is assigned to an individual user or to a whole usergroup, the permission to execute functions at a specific level is assignedsimultaneously. If, for example, a user is assigned to password level 4, he or she isauthorized to execute functions of password levels 0 to 4.

Password level

Password level 0:This minimum password level is assigned to functions that have no, or only aminimal effect on the course of the process. In order to trigger functions assignedto Password Level 0, no password needs to be entered.

Password levels 1 to 8:Functions are assigned to levels 1 to 8 according to their increasing importance.The operating unit requests a password before a function with a password levelhigher than 0 can be executed.

Password level 9Only the supervisor (system support specialist or service technician) is grantedauthorization to execute functions assigned to password level 9. The supervisor isauthorized to access all the functions on the operating unit.

Logging in on the operating unit (login)

After calling a password-protected function, the operating unit automaticallyprompts the user to enter a password. Once entered, the password need not beentered again in order to call in other functions of this password level or lower.




Logging off from the operating unit (logoff)

In order to prevent the software from being used by unauthorized persons, apassword level higher than 0 should not be left active on the operating unit over alonger period of time. The following options are available to explicitly resetpasswords levels:

S Configured logout time expiresIf the operating unit is not operated within the period of time configured (logouttime), the current password level is automatically reset to 0.

S Manual logoutIf the function Logoff_user is linked to an operating element in the project, it canbe used to reset the current password level to 0.


Password management

The operating unit can be used to enter individual members of staff in a passwordlist and assign password levels to them, according to their respective level ofresponsibility. When processing the list, conclude each field entry by pressing theEnter key. The password list contains all the passwords configured on theoperating unit. The list is coded and stored on the operating unit, protected againsta power failure.

Figure 7-10 illustrates an example of a password list with six entries.

Figure 7-10 Example of a password list

View password list

Only those passwords are displayed which have a password level equal to or lowerthan that with which the user is currently logged in. The operating unit displays thepassword list entries in alphabetic order.



Release 07/00

Creating a password

The user can only edit the password list up to the level with which he is currentlylogged in. All passwords used in the system must be unique. It is not possible toassign identical passwords to different users. It is possible, however, to assign thesame password level to different users without any restrictions.

Deleting a password

To delete a password from the password list, overwrite the password levelassigned to it with 0.

Export/Import password list

If a system includes several operating units which are accessed by the sameusers, the same passwords must be installed on each operating unit. In order thatthe password list need not be re-entered on each operating unit, it can be createdon one unit and imported onto other units.

In order to be able to export/import password lists on the operating unit, thefunction Import_export_passwords must be linked to a button or function key, forexample. The file name of the password list to be exported/imported must bespecified as the function parameter during configuration.

Note

The password list is coded. It cannot be edited with external tools.


Recipes for TP170 B and OP170 B

8.1 Overview

Purpose

The purpose of recipes is to transfer quantities of related data together andsynchronously from the operating unit to the PLC and back again.


Using the example of the filing cabinet (Figure 8-1), the two terms Recipe and DataRecord should be defined because they are important for subsequentunderstanding of the process.

Release 07/00

S RecipeRecipes correspond to the individual drawers if the filing cabinet illustrated (e.g.grapefruit or lemon). The reference value fields (tags) belonging to the particularrecipe are defined in each drawer. The recipes define the data structure inProTool CS. This structure cannot be subsequently modified on the operatingunit.

S Data recordData records correspond to the filing cards in the individual drawers of thecabinet (e.g. Drink, Juice and Nectar). A data record contains the values for arecipe. Data records are created, modified and deleted on the operating unit.The data records are also stored on the operating unit. This saves storagespace o the PLC.The Import/Export function provides the additional option of using external toolsto edit exported data records and then reimporting them on the operating unit.

Example of a recipe

An example for use of a recipe is its application on a filling station of a fruit juicesystem. The same filling station is used to produce orange drink, orange juice andorange nectar. The mixing ratios are different for each product. The ingredients arealways the same.

Assume that a recipe called Mixture is created, which has the following datastructure:

Tag Name

Var_2 l orange

Var_3 l water

Var_4 kg sugar

Var_5 g flavor

The designations l Orange, g Aroma etc. of the tags are the so called entrynames. The entry names are also displayed on the operating unit. In this way, forexample, the tag Var_2 can be identified as the tag designating the mixturecomponent Orange.

The data records contain the values for the different drink types. The data records

may appear as follows, for instance:

Orange drink Orange juice Orange nectar

l orange 90 l orange 95 l orange 70

l water 10 l water 5 l water 30

kg sugar 1.5 kg sugar 0.5 kg sugar 1.5

g flavor 200 g flavor 100 g flavor 400



8.2 Recipe Configuration

Basic procedure

The basic steps to configuring a recipe are listed below:

1. Define the structure of the recipe:Assign tags to the recipe structure. These tags are provided with entries fromthe data records.Define a name for the recipe. This name is used to select the recipe in theproject and on the operating unit.

2. Set recipe tag propertiesThe following options can be configured in ProTool CS:-- Synchronize tags

This option defines that the data from a data record has been read from thePLC or data medium and written in the tag or read from the tags configuredfor the recipe. This establishes a connection between the tags configured inthe recipe and the tags in the screens. When a data record is loaded, thevalues are written to the tags used in the screens.

-- Tags offlineIf this option is also activated, the values entered are only stored in the tags,and not transferred to the PLC. Otherwise, values entered are transferreddirectly to the PLC.

3. Define data record storage medium operating unitThe data storage location for data records can be configured. The followingsettings are possible:-- Internal Flash-- Memory card (CF card)

4. Set download synchronizationIt is possible to configure whether the data records are downloaded to the PLCwith or without synchronization.

5. Creating a recipe screenConfigure one or more screens in order to create, store and download datarecords on the operating unit.

8.3.2 Recipe Screens

Purpose

Recipe screens are typically representations of the system. The screens providedisplay and operating elements with which to create, save, modify, delete anddownload data records. Large recipes can be split into several topic-specificscreens and clearly displayed, e.g. with graphic elements.

Components for editing data records

In order to be able to edit data records in recipe screens on the operating unit, thecorresponding components, e.g. input/output fields and functions, must beconfigured:

S Recipe view:Recipe screens can contain a recipe view (Page 8-6) not only to enable theeasy selection of recipes and data records but also for editing data records. Theconfigured functional scope of the recipe view can vary, according to theintended purpose.Information on editing data records in recipe screens is provided fromPage 8-6. The instructions stipulated there generally also apply for editing datarecords in recipe screens. However, in this case, input is performed in thescreens.

S Functions:Depending on whether a recipe view is configured in the project or not, and onthe properties assigned to it, there are various functions available to transferdata records between the operating unit and PLC, e.g.:-- Load_Data_Record-- Save_Date_Record-- Data_Record_PLC_to_Tags-- Data_Record_Tag_to_PLC

More functions and PLC jobs, which are linked to the downloading of data records,are described on Page 8-16.

Editing data records offline

The way in which data records are edited on the operating unit is defined duringconfiguration. It is typically used for the offline editing of data records in recipescreens. Values entered on the operating unit are not directly transferred to thePLC when entered.

Proceed as follows to edit data screens in recipe screens offline:



Step Procedure

1 Select a data record.

2 Trigger reading of the selected data record from the storage medium:

S With recipe viewIt is automatically loaded on selecting the data record.

S Without recipe viewActivate the operating element linked with the Load_Data_Record function.The function parameters must have been set accordingly beforehand.

3 The data of the data record is written to the tags.

4 Edit the tags using the configured input/output fields.

5 Save the modified tags.

S With recipe viewClick the Save button. If necessary, you must first specify a new name.

S Without recipe viewActivate the operating element linked with the Save_Date_Record. Thefunction parameters must have been set accordingly beforehand.

Editing data records online

In order to edit data records online, the option must either be defined duringconfiguration or the Recipe_Tags_Online_Offline function configured in the project.In the case of online editing, the values entered are transferred directly to the PLC.This method is normally used when commissioning the machine/system in order totest, run-up and position.

Proceed as follows to edit data records on the operating unit online:

Step Procedure

1 Select a data record.

2 Trigger reading of the selected data record from the storage medium:

S With recipe viewIt is automatically loaded on selecting the data record.

S Without recipe viewActivate the operating element linked with the Load_Data_Record function.The function parameters must have been set accordingly beforehand.

3 The data of the data record is written to the tags and thus also to the PLC.

4 Edit the tags using the configured input/output fields. This will simultaneouslychange the values in the PLC as well.



Release 07/00

ProcedureStep

5 Save the modified tags.

S With recipe viewClick the Save button. If necessary, you must first specify a new name.

S Without recipe viewActivate the operating element linked with the Save_Date_Record. Thefunction parameters must have been set accordingly beforehand.

Note

When editing data records online, the entered values are transferred to the PLCwithout synchronization. Therefore, when changing individual values, ensure thatno impermissible operating statuses occur in the machine/system.

8.3.3 Functions and PLC jobs

Functions

The following functions can be used to import and export recipe data records forediting with external tools:S Export_Data_RecordsS Import_Data_RecordsThey can be used to import and export either individual data records or all datarecords in a recipe, according to the configured parameters.

The following functions can be used to transfer data records between the PLC andoperating unit data medium.S Data_Record_DAT_to_PLCS Data_Record_PLC_to_DATThe data medium is the internal Flash memory or the memory card. Both the recipeand data record must be specified as parameters in which the values should bewritten.

PLC jobs

The following two PLC jobs can be used to transfer data records between the PLCand operating unit automatically:S No. 69: “PLC � DAT” (read data record from PLC)S No. 70: “DAT � PLC” (write data record in PLC)

Information on PLC jobs is provided in the Communication for Windows-basedSystems User’s Guide.



8.3.4 Import/Export Data Records

Purpose

When the appropriate features have been configured, data records on theoperating unit can be exported as CSV files to the data medium. This feature canbe used to edit data records with external tools, e.g. with a spreadsheet program ortext editor, and import them on the operating unit again.

Condition

In order to export and import data records during runtime, the project must containthe following functions:

S Export_Data_Records

S Import_Data_Records

These functions must be linked in the ProTool CS configuration software, e.g. to afunction key or button.

File format CSV

With file format CSV, the table columns (entry name and value) are separated by aseparator (e.g. semicolon). Each table row (entry) is terminated by a line feed.

The example in Figure 8-2 (Page 8-6) appears as follows in CSV format for theindividually exported data record Juice:

Orange;Juice

3;2

Var_2;95

Var_3;5

Var_4;0.5

Var_5;100

Additional information is stored in the first two lines:

S Line 1:Name of the recipe and data record

S Line 2:Number of the recipe and data record

The operating unit interprets the information on importing the file.

Note

When the CSV files are edited with an external text editor, the modifications aresaved in text format (without control codes).



Release 07/00

Export/Import all data records in a recipe

When appropriately configured, all the data records in a recipe can beimported/exported together. The CSV file for the example on Page 8-2 thenappears as follows:

Orange;Drink;Juice;Nectar

3;1;2;3

Var_2;90;95;70

Var_3;10;5;30

Var_4;1.5;0.5;1.5

Var_5;200;100;400

Additional information is stored in the first two lines:

S Line 1:Name of the recipe and all the configured data records

S Line 2:Number of the recipe and all the configured data records

The operating unit interprets the information on importing the file.

In this way, the CSV file can be used, for example, to create new data records bymeans of a spreadsheet program (Figure 8-3). After importing the modified file, thenew data records can be used on the operating unit.

Figure 8-3 Create data records externally (example: MicrosoftR Excel)



Exporting, editing and importing data records

Proceed as follows in order to export data records on the operating unit in a CSVfile, edit it using with an external tool (e.g. spreadsheet program or text editor) andimport it back on the operating unit:

Step Procedure

1 Export data record S Press the operating element linked with theExport_Data_Records function (e.g. function key or button).

Depending on the configuration, either all the data recordsare exported to the data medium or only the data recorddefined in the project.

The data records are exported in the file which wasconfigured in the parameter File Name in the functionExport_Data_Records.

S Ensure that the memory card (CF card) is defined as thetarget system in the project.

2 Edit CSV file S Carry out the modifications in the CSV file with an externaltool, e.g. MicrosoftR Excel or a text editor.

S Save all the modifications on the memory card (CF card).

3 Import datarecords

S Activate the operating element linked with theImport_Data_Records function.

The data records are copied in the data storage areaconfigured for the recipe.

Note

If data records should be exported and the CSV files edited on a different Windowssystem using a spreadsheet program (e.g. MicrosoftR Excel), ensure that thedecimal separator and list separator are identical on the two different systems.These settings can be modified in the Control Panel (refer to Page 9-11).

Compressing the internal program memory with SIMATIC S5

!Caution

With the SIMATIC S5, compression of the internal program memory on the PLC(PU “Compress” function, integrated FB COMPR) is not permitted when anoperating unit is connected. Compression modifies the absolute addresses of theblocks in the program memory. Since the operating unit only reads the address listduring startup, it does not detect any address modifications and subsequentlyaccesses the wrong memory areas.

If compression is inevitable during running operations, the operating unit must beswitched off before compressing.

ESD Guidelines

What does ESD mean?

Virtually all present-day modules incorporate highly integrated MOS devices orcomponents. For technological reasons, these electronic components are verysensitive to overvoltages and consequently therefore to electrostatic discharge:

These devices are referred to in German as Elektrostatisch GefährdetenBauelemente/ Baugruppen: ”EGB”

The more frequent international name is:

”ESD” (Electrostatic Sensitive Device)

The following symbol on plates on cabinets, mounting racks or packages drawsattention to the use of electrostatic sensitive devices and thus to the contactsensitivity of the assemblies concerned:

ESDs may be destroyed by voltages and energies well below the perceptionthreshold of persons. Voltages of this kind occur as soon as a device or anassembly is touched by a person who is not electrostatically discharged . Devicesexposed to such overvoltages cannot immediately be detected as defective in themajority of cases since faulty behavior may occur only after a long period ofoperation.

Precautions against electrostatic discharge

Most plastics are capable of carrying high charges and it is therefore imperativethat they be kept away from sensitive components.

When handling electrostatic sensitive devices, make sure that persons, workplacesand packages are properly grounded.

D

ESD Guidelines

D-2TP170 A, TP 170 B, OP170 B Equipment Manual

Release 07/00

Handling ESD assemblies

A general rule is that assemblies should be touched only when this cannot beavoided owing to the work that has to performed on them. Under no circumstancesshould you handle printed-circuit boards by touching device pins or circuitry.

You should touch devices only if

S you are grounded by permanently wearing an ESD wrist strap or

S you are wearing ESD shoes or ESD shoe-grounding protection straps inconjunction with an ESD floor.

Before you touch an electronic assembly, your body must be discharged. Thesimplest way of doing this is to touch a conductive, grounded object immediatelybeforehand -- for example, bare metal parts of a cabinet, water pipe etc.

Assemblies should not be brought into contact with charge-susceptible and highlyinsulating materials such as plastic films, insulating table tops and items of clothingetc. containing synthetic fibers.

Assemblies should be deposited only on conductive surfaces (tables with an ESDcoating, conductive ESD cellular material, ESD bags, ESD shipping containers).

Do not place assemblies near visual display units, monitors or television sets(minimum distance to screen > 10 cm).

Measuring and modifying ESD assemblies

Perform measurements on ESD assemblies only when

S the measuring instrument is grounded -- for example, by means of a protectiveconductor -- or

S the measuring head has been briefly discharged before measurements aremade with a potential-free measuring instrument -- for example, by touching abare metal control cabinet.

When soldering, use only grounded soldering irons.

Shipping ESD assemblies

Always store and ship assemblies and devices in conductive packing -- forexample, metallized plastic boxes and tin cans.

If packing is not conductive, assemblies must be conductively wrapped before theyare packed. You can use, for example, conductive foam rubber, ESD bags,domestic aluminum foil or paper (never use plastic bags or foils).

With assemblies containing fitted batteries, make sure that the conductive packingdoes not come into contact with or short-circuit battery connectors. If necessary,cover the connectors beforehand with insulating tape or insulating material.
