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:
SFCSequential 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.
ILInstruction 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").
CFCCFC (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.
FBDFunction 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.
LDLadder 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.

Windows® 2000 with Windows® NT® operating system kernel. Furthermore,
Windows® XP has replaced Windows® Me of the MS-DOS line in the "Home

The "Professional" version is used in industrial applications. This version contains
functions such as remote control, file encryption (EFS), central maintenance by
means of guidelines or the use of several processors.
modular (component-based) structure.
Like this, IPC manufacturers can only install the Windows® XP elements really
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.

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.

3Controller-based Automation: Central motion control
The Lenze automation system "Controller-based Automation" serves to create complex automation
solutions with central motion control. Here, the controller is the control centre of the system.
System structure of the Controller-based Automation: "All from one single source"
[3-1]Example configuration (EtherCAT bus system): 3200 C controller with I/O system 1000 and i700 servo inverter
Lenze · Controller-based Automation - Visualisation · System Manual · DMS 1.5 EN · 04/2014 · TD1713
3Controller-based Automation: Central motion control
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.

This chapter describes the use of an Industrial PC as a visualisation device and the required
components.
4.1Visualisation 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.

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.
