Interface). The term stands for the user interface of a machine. Via the HMI, the operator can operate the machine, monitor system states, and,
if necessary, intervene in the process. Information is either provided by means of hardware via operator panels with signal lamps, display fields, and buttons, or, by means of software, via a visualisation system running on a terminal.
The HMI communicates with the machine PLC via different communication paths.

panels, and other SIMATIC-S7 devices. The MPI is based on the EIA-485 standard (formerly RS-485) and operates at a baud rate of 187.5 kbps - 12 Mbps.
The voltage supply gets the interface from the control system via the MPI line. The interface is hardware-compatible with the Profibus interface on Siemens control systems. Different manufacturers offer PCI plug-in cards, PCMCIA plug-in cards, USB adapters, or Ethernet adapters for communication via MPI. All S7 stations can be interconnected via the MPI bus. The MPI bus is not standardised, but a Siemens-specific bus. The multi-point interface is a communication interface integrated in every SIMATIC®-S7 automation device (SIMATIC® S7/M7, and C7). It can be easily used for simple networks.

IEC 61131 programming languages
With the Lenze »PLC Designer«, programming of the PLC according to IEC 61131-3 can be carried out. The IEC 61131 standard describes the following programming languages:
SFC Sequential function chart (SFC) is one of the five programming languages
standardised in DIN EN 61131-3.
• SFC is used for programming a PLC control system in the form of a Petri net.
• Under Siemens STEP® 7, sequential function chart is known as S7 GRAPH.
IL Instruction lists (IL) are mainly used for logic operations of control inputs and
outputs. Typically, a (digital) input is loaded into the working register (accumulator) (load digital input 0, "LD %IX0.0"), linked with other inputs, co nstants , or memory v alu es (e xcl usive-OR memor y bi t 3, " XOR %MX 0.3" ), a nd is written to an output (store digital output 1, "ST %QX0.1").
CFC CFC (Continuous Function Chart) is a language similar to FBD.
• FBD editors are network-oriented and arrange the function blocks automatically. CFC enables the free arrangement of all function blocks, which makes it possible to program feedback loops without interim variables.
• CFC is convenient for representing application overviews.
FBD Function block diagram (FBD) is a graphical programming language within
STEP® 7 and there corresponds to the function block language as PLC programming language in accordance with EN 61131-3 [1] to a large extent.
The function block diagram (FBD) has been defined as a project planning tool for sequence control systems in the former DIN 40719. [1]
Grafcet in accordance with EN 60848 has replaced FBD. Both languages are similar to the sequential function chart (SFC) as PLC programming language in accordance with EN 61131-3. With Siemens STEP® 7 this language is called S7­GRAPH.
LD Ladder diagram is a graphical programming language standardised in the IEC
standard DIN EN 61131-3, that represents a graphical diagram based on circuit diagrams.
• LD is primarily used for programmable logic controllers.
• If the elements are connected in series this is an AND operation. If the elements are connected in parallel this is an OR operation. A line across the element indicates a negation of the element.
• Inputs are represented as two vertical parallel lines, outputs are represented as two opposite curved lines.

required on their IPC to save resources.
• Certainly, a Windows® XP Embedded installation is always bigger than a Windows® CE installation, but it is much smaller than a Windows® XP full version. Thus, Windows® XP Embedded combines the advantages of a small system which can be used on Industrial PCs without a hard disk, with the advantages that a Windows® XP system offers compared to Windows® CE.
• Windows® XP Embedded is equipped with a so-called "write" filter. In this way, individual files (FBWF: File-Based Write Filter) or a whole partition (EWF: Enhanced Write Filter) can be protected against write access. The data to be written is redirected into the main memory instead of the storage medium (e.g. CF card).
• After a restart, the system will be in the original state again. This protects the system against unintended changes. Furthermore, the "write" filter positively affects the service life of the memory card since the number of real accesses can be clearly reduced.

2 Safety instructions
Please observe the following safety instructions when you want to commission an inverter or system using the Industrial PC.
Read the documentation supplied with the system components thoroughly before
starting to commission the devices and the Industrial PC!
The system manual contains safety instructions which must be observed!
Danger!
According to today's scientific knowledge it is not possible to ensure absolute freedom from defects of a software.
If necessary, systems with built-in inverters must be provided with additional monitoring and protective equipment complying with the relevant safety regulations (e.g. law on technical equipment, regulations for the prevention of accidents) in each case, so that an impermissible operating status does not endanger persons or facilities.
During commissioning persons must keep a safe distance from the motor or the machine parts driven by the motor. Otherwise there would be a risk of injury by the moving machine parts.
Stop!
If you change parameters in the engineering software while a device is connected online, the changes will be directly accepted by the device.
A wrong parameter setting can cause unpredictable motor movements.
By an unintended direction of rotation, too high speed, or jerky operation, the driven machine parts may be damaged.

Lenze provides especially coordinated system components:
• Engineering software The Lenze Engineering tools on your Engineering PC (Windows® operating system) serve to
parameterise, configure, and diagnose the system. The Engineering PC communicates with the controller via Ethernet.
•Controller The Lenze controller is available as Panel Controller with integrated touch display and as
Cabinet Controller in control cabinet design. Cabinet Controllers provide a direct coupling of the I/O system 100 via the integrated backplane
bus. The Runtime software
These software versions are available:
• "Logic": Sequence control in the controller, motion control in the inverter
• "Motion": Sequence control and motion control in the controller, inverter as actuating drive
• "Visu": Optional visualisation of the automation system, can be used separately or in addition to "Logic" or "Motion" An external monitor panel/display can be connected to the Cabinet Controller 3231 C/ 3241 C.
• Without software: Controller as single component with operating system only
•Bus systems EtherCAT is a standard "on board" bus system of the Controller-based Automation. EtherCAT
enables the control of all nodes (Motion/Logic) on one common fieldbus. Optionally, CANopen, PROFIBUS and PROFINET can be used as extended topologies. The Controllers c300/p300 have a CANopen interface "on board" as well (in addition to
EtherCAT).
• Inverter (e.g. Servo Inverter i700)
(20) provides the control and/or visualisation of motion sequences.
"Logic & Motion" runtime software
The "Controller-based Automation" system allows for the central control of devices for Logic and Motion applications. The runtime software runs on the controller.
In case of Logic applications, the sequence control is carried out in the controller and the motion control is carried out in the inverter.
In case of Motion applications , the sequence control and motion control are carried out in the controller. The inverter is used as actuating drive.
• Motion applications make special demands on the cycle time and real-time capability of the bus system between the controller and the subordinate fieldbus nodes.
• this is for instance the case if the field devices, for example, are to move in a synchronised way or if position setpoints are to be transmitted.

4 System description
This chapter describes the use of an Industrial PC as a visualisation device and the required components.
4.1 Visualisation system structure
The field of visualisation technology distinguishes between three system architectures. The system structure describes where to find the control system, the visualisation application, and the operator device in the system.
Depending on the application ...
• control, visualisation, and operation can be carried out from one common controller.
Integrated control system
• the system structure can be composed of different devices (optionally from different manufacturers in each case).
Stand-alone application
Since the system architectures are independent of the communication between the »VisiWinNET®« visualisation system and the field devices, they can be freely combined.

4.1.1 Stand-alone application
The control system (controller) and visualisation (Visu) run on separate controllers, respectively.
• The visualisation IPC (Visu IPC) directly communicates with an external control system and the lower-level field devices. A fieldbus or a higher-level Ethernet network are used for communication.
• The visualisation can access variables of the control system and (depending on the bus system) in addition can directly access parameters of the field devices.
• For the visualisation, a Panel PC/Industrial PC Embedded Line or a control cabinet PC with an external monitor panel can be used.

4.1.3 Client/server system
The client/server system is a classical SCADA application (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition).
• A central server, IPC (controller) for data management (alarm, recipe, trend management) is typical of this application.
• Operation and monitoring of the machine/system can be carried out via an optional number of client devices.

4.2.3 Runtime software
The Industrial PC is the core of the visualisation system. To perform the tasks required, the Industrial PC requires the so-called "runtime software".
The runtime software for instance comprises the operating system (Windows® CE). Moreover, further software components are required which, for example, execute the control tasks of the IPC or the visualisation application of the different applications.
These software versions are available:
• "Logic": Sequence control in the controller, motion control in the inverter
• "Motion": Sequence control and motion control in the controller, inverter as actuating drive
• "Visu": visualisation of the automation system, can be used separately or in addition to "Logic" or "Motion"
An external monitor panel/display can be connected to the Cabinet Controller 3231 C/3241 C.
• Without software: controller as single component with operating system only
The runtime software and the licence required for using the software are usually ordered together with the Industrial PC.

4.2.3.2 "Visu" runtime software
All visualisation applications are executed within a runtime environment (runtime). The licence required for this purpose depends on the hardware operating system.
The "Visu" runtime software is not pre-installed on the Lenze Industrial PCs, but is loaded to the IPC together with the visualisation application. By means of »VisiWinNET®«, the program parts required are automatically compiled.
If you use the »VisiWinNET®« compact runtime software, the download is carried out directly from »VisiWinNET®«. In the case of the other runtime variants, »VisiWinNET®« creates a setup file which, apart from the actual runtime software, also contains the complete visualisation application, which must be installed on the respective target system.
Depending on the target system/operating system which is to be used for the visualisation process, various versions of the runtime software with different functional ranges are provided.

4.2.3.3 "Visu" runtime software - licence information
A licence is required for executing the "Visu" runtime software.
The licence information indicates which runtime software version (Compact, Standard, etc.) may be used, how many clients are allowed to log on to a client/server system, and how many variables (power tags) can be displayed via the visualisation.
Depending on the device type, the licence information is stored in different ways.
•Controller:
• Panel Controller p300/p500
• Cabinet Controller 3231 C/3241 C (with an external monitor panel/display)
• Industrial PCs:
• Embedded Line EL 1800 - 9800
• Command Station CS 5800 - 9800
• Control cabinet PC CPC 2800
Under Windows® XP, the licence information can optionally be provided via a "Dongle" for the USB interface or via a licence file that is connected to the MAC address of the network interface card. The licence file is used by default.
Under Windows® CE, solely the use of the licence file is possible. The licence desired is specified with the order, so that the device can be delivered in a fully configured state.
The EL 100 and EL 100 PLC HMIs are provided with a Visu licence by default (»VisiWinNET®« compact CE with a fixed number of power tags). This makes a separate dongle/separate licence file dispensable.

• Control systems:
• Logic & Motion
• Siemens Simatic® S7 300/400
•VIPA
•SAIA
• Other control systems for which an OPC server or a »VisiWinNET®« direct driver is available.
Basically, two different scenarios with external control systems must be distinguished for the data to be visualised. This may lead to restricted access possibilities.

4.2.4.1 Direct access to the field devices
• The controller and the IPC (Visu) access the fieldbus independently of each other.
• The visualisation (Visu) can access the parameters of the field devices and the parameters of the controller.
Note!
• Direct access to the field devices connected to the fieldbus ensures a maximum independence of the two systems, but is rarely reasonable in practical operation.
• The configuration with independent control and visualisation systems is only recommended for systems without
• Depending on the bus system used, several bus masters that are independent of each other can be used.
• The visualisation may impact the real-time capability of the bus. Therefore this configuration is only suitable for Motion systems to a limited extent. (It also depends on the bus system used)
Direct access to field devices is possible for the following bus systems:
•CANopen

4.2.4.2 Access to the control system and the field devices connected
• When using the Lenze control technology, the visualisation can directly access the field devices without any further impact, using the Industrial PC as gateway. When different control systems are used, this is usually not possible. Therefore it is recommended to only use data of the controller.
• To display field device data in the visualisation, the controller must import these data cyclically and transfer them to a transfer section (e.g. a data block) which is only accessed by the visualisation. This ensures field device data access without any further effects.

4.2.5.2 »VisiWinNET®« Professional
»VisiWinNET®« Professional is completely integrated into the Microsoft® Visual Studio .NET integrated development environment and provides the basis for the creation of visualisation and SCADA applications with a high functionality.
The ready-made templates and modules can be used to smoothly create applications via "drag and drop". If required, the system permits individual program-related changes on the basis of Visual Basic .NET and C#. This serves to solve company-specific and complex tasks when the standard visualisation functions are not sufficient.
Functions
• For complex applications
• For client/server systems with SCADA applications
• For individual and company-related programming
• For the connection to databases or other Microsoft® Office programs
• For the use of complex report functions
• For establishing an individual visualisation kit
4.2.5.3 Visualisation kit
The .NET functions and object-oriented programming enable the creation of individual control elements and machine modules. Using ready-made modules, individual visualisation kits can be implemented according to your personal requirements. In both systems, applications, except for scripts, can be edited reciprocally.
The easy handling of »VisiWinNET®« Smart and the openness of the more complex »VisiWinNET®« Professional provide substantial advantages when projects are edited reciprocally.
Note!
30
»VisiWinNET®« Professional is an expert system that requires special program knowledge and goes far beyond the creation of a drag-and-drop system. »VisiWinNET®«This is why Professional is not available as a pure catalog product.

4.2.6 Backup of visualisation data (UPS functionality)
The Controllers 3221 C/3231 C back up the visualisation data cyclically every 60 seconds. The visualisation data backed up are therefore not exactly up-to-date after a voltage failure. Depending on the time at which the voltage failure occurs, the data status backed up may be out-of-date for up to 59 seconds (the interval between two backup processes is 60 seconds).
When a voltage failure occurs, the Controllers 3241 C back up the visualisation data on the SD card in an exactly isochronous fashion if a capacitor pack (CAPS-PACK) is connected.
The Controllers p300/p500 are equipped with implemented UPS for the buffering of visualisation data.
The EL 100 and EL 100 PLC HMIs are provided with an internal capacitor for buffering the current supply. Like this, remanent PLC variables can be saved with mains failure protection.
Operating instructions for controllers / Industrial PCs / HMI
Here, further information can be found.
4.2.6.1 Capacitor pack (CAPS-PACK)
The capacitor pack serves to buffer the current supply of the controller/IPC for some seconds. Like this, current fluctuations can be compensated.
In the case of a power failure, the capacitors ensure the current supply. Within this protected time, specially marked variable contents (remanent PLC variables) can be saved.
The following controllers and Industrial PCs can be equipped with a capacitor pack (CAPS-PACK) for backup:
• Controller 3241 C
• EL 1800 - 9800
• CS 5800 - 9800
• CPC 2800
4.2.6.2 Battery pack (ACCU-PACK)
The battery pack serves to bridge longer power failures. Within this protected time, further data from the visualisation can be saved (in addition to the remanent PLC variables).
Alarms, batch protocols, trends, or recipe data can be saved. If this data has been defined as remanent memory data it will be written to the memory card via a cache of a variable size.
If a power failure occurs, the battery pack activates an alarm and all data in the cache will be saved. When the system is restarted, the data saved with mains failure protection will still be available.
The following controllers and Industrial PCs can be equipped with a battery pack (ACCU-PACK) for backup:
• Controller 3241 C
• EL 1800 - 9800
• CS 5800 - 9800
• CPC 2800

Remote access
Remote access allows you to separate the control system and visualisation on physically separated IPCs. The system structure is basically similar to a Client/server system
(18).
• Remote access may be reasonable if a control system runs on a control cabinet PC, but no monitor is available. In contrast to the client/server system, it is not possible to implement several operator terminals.
• Depending on the fieldbus, direct drivers (optimised for remote access) or remote-capable OPC servers can be used.

4.3.2 Browsing variables
For defining the variables to be displayed, »VisiWinNET®« allows you to "browse" variables.
Depending on the bus system and the control system type, there are different file formats available from which »VisiWinNET®« can take the variable information and offer it for selection.
• In the case of CANopen, this is for instance an EDS file containing the parameters of the corresponding device.
• This can also be the project file of a control program (e.g. Logic & Motion, CoDeSys, STEP 7® program), containing the variables of the control.
Tip!
The »VisiWinNET®« project wizard helps you to select the right browser.
Browsing online/offline
With an automation system that is already completely available, some browsers allow you to browse the system from »VisiWinNET®« (online "browsing").
In practical operation, online "browsing" is rarely used because the system is often not yet complete and still has to be commissioned.
As an alternative, offline browsing is possible, which requires special device description files that contain the parameter information of a specific device type. Depending on the control and bus system, these files differ from each other.
The following chapters describe the way of browsing and the file types that can be used.

Note!
For Industrial PCs of the EL 1xx, EL x8xx, CS x8xx, and CPC x8xx series in control technology release 2.5, the EtherCAT bus system is not
The EtherCAT bus system only allows one single master. Since the master functionality is typically assigned to the control system, it is not possible that another controller accesses field devices independently of the control system.
The Lenze controllers 3231 C/3241 C and p300/p500 are equipped with an "on board" EtherCAT interface.

4.3.4 CANopen®
Note!
• Due to the access mechanisms of the CAN bus, the real-time capability of the bus may be influenced by the visualisation if visualisation and control system communicate independently of each other with the field devices via CAN. Therefore, this constellation is only with restrictions suitable for the use in Motion systems.
This restriction does not apply to the Lenze Logic & Motion control system!
• As an alternative, it is recommended to access the variables of the field devices via Ethernet and control system IPC.
Access to the control system and the field devices connected

4.3.5 PROFIBUS®
Visualisation applications with PROFIBUS are available for the following Lenze devices:
•HMI series EL 100
• Industrial PCs: EL 1800-9800, CS 5800-9800 and CPC 2800 The Industrial PCs use an OPC server for communication.
• Cabinet Controller 3231 C/3241 C (with an external monitor panel/display)
• Panel Controller p300/p500
Under Windows® CE, a direct driver is provided for communication.
The connection of the visualisation to PROFIBUS makes use of the properties that the MPI protocol is "tunnelled" on PROFIBUS and the connection of an MPI node to PROFIBUS is identical as regards the hardware. Thus a direct connection to a Siemens S7 control is possible without logging on a separate PROFIBUS node in the control configuration.
For this purpose, the Industrial PCs are equipped with a communication card (MC-MPI), whereas the interface is already available on-board for the EL 100 with the MPI variant.
To facilitate the creation of an application in »VisiWinNET®«, the variables can be imported from an S7-PLC program. Communication drivers are available for all runtime systems.
Functions
• Access to Siemens S7-300/400 control systems via PROFIBUS (MPI)
• Access to other controls via Ethernet if an OPC server or »VisiWinNET®« direct driver is available.
• Visualisation variables can be imported from STEP 7®.

Note!
The data of the connected PROFIBUS slaves cannot be directly accessed!
As an alternative, the control system can access variables of the field devices. The control system automatically reads in the variables and provides them to the visualisation in a transfer area.

4.3.6 PROFINET®
Visualisation applications with PROFINET are available for the following Lenze devices:
•HMI series EL 100
• Industrial PCs: EL 1800-9800, CS 5800-9800 and CPC 2800 The Industrial PCs use an OPC server for communication.
• Cabinet Controller 3231 C/3241 C (with an external monitor panel/display)
• Panel Controller p300/p500
[4-2] Basic structure of a visualisation system with PROFINET
Here, the PROFINET property is used, that each PROFINET switch allows for the connection of standard Ethernet devices to PROFINET and real time on the bus is nevertheless ensured. This provides the possibility of using the RFC1006 protocol (MPI via TCP/IP). The advantages of this solution are that no special PROFINET interface is required and the visualisation does not need to be logged on explicitly as PROFINET node in the control configuration.
The Lenze Industrial PCs, the controllers, and the EL100 HMI series are provided with an "on board" Ethernet interface suitable for connection to a PROFINET switch.
To facilitate the creation of applications in »VisiWinNET®«, all variables can be imported from an S7­PLC program. Communication drivers are available for all runtime systems.

Functions
• Access to Siemens S7-300/400 control systems via PROFIBUS (MPI)
• Access to VIPA control systems via PROFINET (RFC1006)
• Visualisation variables can be imported from STEP7®
Note!
The data of the PROFINET field devices connected cannot be accessed directly! As an alternative, the variables of the field devices should be accessed via the control system.
Access to the control system and the field devices connected
From the view of wiring, a PROFINET network is not a bus in the true sense, but a "switched" Ethernet with point-to-point connections.
• This structure is described below. The real time data transfer runs via the connections printed in violet.
• The connections printed in yellow are purely used for Ethernet data transfer. Data are also transferred via PROFINET without real time interferences.

4.3.7 Ethernet
Most control systems are equipped with an integrated Ethernet connection. Since Ethernet is much more powerful than most fieldbuses, it is recommended to access the control system via Ethernet (and not via the lower-level fieldbus system).
This option has been described in the previous bus-specific chapters. There is no general possibility of accessing optional field devices via Ethernet because Ethernet only describes the physical bus features, but not the transmission protocol. Depending on the field device to be addressed, different Ethernet protocols are required.
Lenze supports the RFC1006 Ethernet protocol which is based on TCP/IP and is supported by many control system manufacturers. Control systems by the following manufacturers can be accessed via RFC1006:
• Siemens S7-300/400
•VIPA
•SAIA
In addition, drivers for access to the following control systems are available:
• Industrial PCs (PC-based Automation): 3S Smart Software Solutions (CoDeSys V2.x)
• Controller (Controller-based Automation): 3S Smart Software Solutions (CoDeSys V3.x)

6 Remote maintenance and diagnostics
For a remote maintenance of a Controller, the standard mechanisms for remote maintenance of a PC can be used.
The standard mechanisms ...
• are based on Ethernet protocol and the protocols used for Ethernet;
• can be used between the Engineering/remote maintenance PC (Remote PC) and the corresponding Lenze controller, IPC, or HMI.
The Engineering PC and remote PC are either connected directly to each other, or via remote connection.
The following access mechanisms to a Lenze controller, Industrial PC, or HMI can be used ...
• with direct connection between the PCs within a local network;
• with a remote connection.
6.1 Remote maintenance with an external router
Establishing a remote connection requires an external router which establishes the remote connection between two network segments.
The router has to be configured separately and has to be connected to the Lenze controller, IPC, or HMI by one of the following types of connection:
•DSL
•ISDN
•Analog (modem)
Remote maintenance via an external router for instance is advisable if remote maintenance is required for several controllers, IPCs, or HMIs.

6.2 Remote maintenance with a separate remote PC
Note!
Setting a remote maintenance may endanger the IT safety!
• This is particularly relevant if the remote PC is connected to an Ethernet network.
• Contact your IT administrator to take the necessary safety measures.
[6-1] Sample configuration: Remote maintenance of a Controller 3200 C
• The Engineering PC accesses the separate remote PC via an internet connection.
• The remote PC is connected to the Lenze controller, IPC, or HMI via Ethernet.
• On the remote PC, the Lenze engineering tools (such as »EASY Starter«, »PLC Designer«) are installed.
• The remote PC can be controlled from the Engineering PC via screen redirection.
»Virtual Network Computing (VNC)«: Redirecting screen contents/entries
The screen contents of the controller, IPC, or HMI are redirected to the remote PC. This makes it possible to actuate the functions of the device, for instance the same programs as for the local connection via Ethernet can be used.
A basic overview of the different dial-in programs can be found in the following section.

6.3 Log-in on an IPC of the x800 device series (PC-based automation)
An RAS server runs on the IPCs. A user can log-in via modem/ISDN card on this RAS server. If someone dials-in from a remote maintenance PC via this medium, the IPC executes a password check and then activates the connection.
Further information about the function and configuration of RAS servers can be found in
the following documentations:
Industrial PC - Parameter setting & Configuration
HMI EL 100 with Windows® CE - HMI for visualisation/with control technology

6.4 Computer access via Telnet

Telnet is a standard mechanism for experts to change system settings.
Telnet ...
• enables the access to the Controller data (example: Contents of the SD card);
• requires an existing local connection or remote connection.
Note!
Controller p300:
• These devices come with a deactivated Telnet in the Lenze standard setting.
• The function can be activated via the »WebConfig«. The activation of the function can influence the real-time behaviour.
• After a restart of the Controller, the function is deactivated again.

6.5 File transfer via FTP
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a network protocol for the transfer of data within networks.
• FTP makes it possible to exchange files between the Lenze controller, IPC, or HMI and other PCs.
• The controller, IPC, or HMI data can be accessed via FTP connection.
• FTP requires an existing connection or a remote connection.
• In order to be able to transfer files with Windows® via FTP, the Windows® Explorer can be used which comes with an integrated FTP support.
Note!
FTP must be used for system-diagnostic purposes only. Deleting or changing system files causes malfunctions of the controller!
Controller p300:
• These devices come with a deactivated FTP in the Lenze standard setting.
• The function can be activated via the »WebConfig«. The activation of the function can influence the real-time behaviour.
• After a restart of the Controller, the function is deactivated again.
Further information relating to the function and configuration of FTP and web server/
»WebConfig« can be found in the reference manual:

6.6 Web server/»WebConfig«
The Lenze controllers, IPCs, and HMIs are provided with an integrated web server. The web server makes it possible to parameterise the devices via »WebConfig«.
• The controller, IPC, and HMI parameters can be displayed/altered via web browser.
• In order to parameterise a controller, IPC, or HMI in a web-based fashion, a remote connection (via Ethernet by specifying the IP address) to the desired device has to be established.

6.7 »Virtual Network Computing (VNC)«: Redirecting screen contents/entries
For remote maintenance of a Lenze controller, IPC, and HMI, the screen contents can be redirected to the Engineering PC. This makes it possible to view all keyboard entries/mouse movements of the local PC on the remote PC.
The remote PC can be operated as if you were directly in front of it. However, the quality of the remote connection is very important, since the display speed of the screen content strongly depends on it. A bad connection may render program operation using the mouse impossible since you can no longer track the movements of the mouse pointer. In such cases, use the command line based protocols like FTP and telnet, depending on the function to be executed.
• Screen content can be redirected via a local connection or a remote connection.
• The »Virtual Network Computing (VNC)« software is installed on the controllers, IPCs, and HMIs by default.
Further information on how to redirect screen contents can be found in the following
documentation:
"HMI EL 1xx" device series:
HMI EL 100 with Windows® CE - HMI for visualisation/with control technology
Controller 3200 C / p300 / p500 :
Controller - Parameter setting & configuration
»Virtual Network Computing (VNC)«
»Virtual Network Computing (VNC)« is a software developed by Olivetti & Oracle Research Laboratory (from 1999 AT&T), which shows the screen content of a remote computer (with the VNC server software running) on a local computer (with the VNC viewer software running). The keyboard/mouse movements of the local computer can be viewed on the remote computer. Alternatively, a "read only" mode can be set, where local entries have no impact on the remote computer.
VNC can be found under "Open source licence"; the source code is provided free of charge for purposes of advancement. The VNC server is already installed by default on controllers 3231 C/ 3241 C, p300/p500, the devices of the EL 100 HMI series, and Industrial PCs EL x800.
The Engineering PC requires the corresponding VNC viewer software. The VNC viewer software is provided on the CD that is part of the scope of supply of the devices.
As an alternative, the VNC viewer software is available in the download area at www.lenze.com

7 Appendix
7.1 Information regarding the FDA conformance
»VisiWinNET®« can provide a visualisation that complies with FDA regulations 21 CFR part 11 of the Food and Drug Administration. These regulations are applicable to machines exported into the U.S.. Industry therefore demands that the operating system and, in some cases, also the production machines must contain data backup functions and functions protecting against the manipulation of data.
A basic demand of the FDA is that electronic data shall be equivalent to paper data and that electronic signatures shall have the same significance and unambiguousness as handwritten signatures. The system should provide an easy but yet effective protection against manipulation, although it is commonly known that electronic data and even paper data can almost always be subsequently changed or deleted in the event of a criminal intent.
Using »VisiWinNET®«, completely FDA-compliant visualisation applications can be created by means of the following functions:
•User management
• Recording of all parameter changes
• Start / stop recording
• Managing/changing passwords
• Saving encoded data in a database.

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a procedure for structuring computer programs where data belonging together and the corresponding program logic are combined to objects (separate units).
Conceptually, a program then no longer (as with procedural programming) sequentially processes individual functional areas of an algorithm which changes a certain number of data, but the program logic is developed in the communication and the internal status changes of the objects of which the program is composed.
Advantages of object-oriented programming:
- Modularisation of codes
- Easier maintainability and reusability of individual modules Higher flexibility of the entire program, in particular, in the field of user
guidance because programs of this kind are less obliged to force certain operating sequences upon the user.

The OPC server provides the data and the OPC client receives the data.
Communication between the PCs requires a special DCOM configuration. For OPC communication from several computers, Lenze uses an OPC tunnel that does not require any configuration.

Power tag In the »VisiWinNET®« visualisation, a "Power tag" describes the variables
available. A "Power tag" can represent different variable types. It is possible to combine
up to 32 bit variables in a long word in the PLC and to transfer them as one variable.
Within »VisiWinNET®«, the user can then use the long word for BIT operations such as in a checkbox or for activation of alarm messages.
With 2000 power tags, thus theoretically a maximum of 64kBit variables are available to the user.
The number of power tags limits the number of internal »VisiWinNET®« variables in the same way as the variables communicated via the bus (external variables).
