Low-end units

The Touch Panels TP170 A and TP170 B, and Operator Panel OP170 B represent products in the new series of low-end operating units. The units in this series are based on the innovative standard WindowsR CE operating system. They complete the SIMATIC HMI product range in the low-end sector. The TP170 A is a low-price initial unit which can operate with all SIMATIC S7 CPUs. The TP170 B and OP170 B fulfill all sophisticated functional requirements.

This new product series enables self-created graphics, digital photos and scanned screens to be integrated in a project. Bars and trend curve diagrams can still be used to graphically display temperature progressions, for example.

The units are equipped with an interface for MPI and PROFIBUS-DP. This interface is also used for downloading configurations. The unit memories are designed for small to medium-size configurations.

Here is a short selection of common features:

S Automatic transfer detection for downloading configurations S Password protection

S Input/Output fields to display and modify process parameters

SConfigurable buttons and function keys (OP170 B) to control input/output and data bits

S Bars for the graphical dsplay of dynamic values

S Standard library for graphics and buttons can be used under ProTool CS

SGraphics can be configured to label buttons or as format-filling background screens

SFixed text for labeling buttons, process screens or process values in any character size

Additional features with TP170 B and OP170 B:

S	Print functions
S	Trends
S	Scheduler
S	Recipe management

S Backing up recipe data and configurations on optional memory cards (CF card) A complete overview of the functional range of the units is provided Chapter 2.

Introduction

Area of use of the units

The units have been conceived for easy machine operation and monitoring. They provide a realistic graphical representation of the machine or system to be monitored. Their area of use include implementation in machine and apparatus construction as well as in the packing and electronics industry.

The high degree of protection (IP65 on the front side) and non-implementation of moving storage media, such as hard disks and floppy disks, ensure the operating units are also suitable for use in rough industrial environments and directly on site on 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 for operation near the machine.

Easy to operate and observe

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

The units can be used to:

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

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

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

Sto intervene directly in processes via the Touch Screen (TP170 A, TP170 B) or using 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 represented on the operating units must first be created on a configuration computer (PC or PU) using the configuration software SIMATIC ProTool/Pro CS, ProTool or ProTool/Lite. The configuration computer must be connected to the operating unit in order to download the project to the operating unit (refer to “Configuration phase” in Figure 1-1).

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

3.1Initial Startup

Procedure

When the operating unit is started up for the first time, no project has been loaded on it. In order to download the necessary project data and the runtime software from the configuration computer to the operating unit, proceed as follows, observing the sequence:

Step		Procedure
1	Depending on the settings in the Configuration menu (Figure 3-4 or 3-5), connect
	the interface IF1A or IF2 (serial)1) or IF1B (MPI) of the operating unit to the
	configuration computer using an appropriate standard cable.
2	Switch on the power supply for the operating unit.
	Since no project has been loaded on the operating unit up to this point, it
	automatically switches to Download mode. The operating unit displays the
	message Connecting to host until it receives data from the configuration
	computer or the button Cancel is pressed.
	If the message Connecting to host does not appear, it is probable that the
	options for download mode have been incorrectly set (refer to the note on
	Page 3-8).
3	If data should be downloaded via an MPI connection, set the following
	parameters on the configuration computer:
	S OP address: 1
	S Transmission rate: 187.5 kBaud
	Start downloading the project on the configuration computer. Further settings
	necessary on the configuration computer for the download operation are
	provided in the ProTool Configuring Windows-based Systems user’s guide.
	The configuration computer checks the connection to the operating unit. If the
	connection is not available or defective, the corresponding error message
	appears.
	If downloading from the configuration computer is terminated as a result of a
	compatibility conflict, please continue as described in Chapter 14.
	If the connection is correct, the project data is downloaded to the operating unit.
	Following successful downloading, the operating unit restarts and displays the
	start screen of the project that has just been loaded.

Start downloading automatically when the operating unit is in operation

The operating unit can be switched automatically to Download mode from normal operation as soon as downloading is started on the connected configuration computer. This option is especially recommended for the test phase of a new project because the transfer is performed without intervention on the operating unit. A condition for this is that the following settings have been defined in the Configuration (TP170 A: Figures 3-4, TP170 B and OP170 B: Figure 3-5):

MPI connection:

S Option MPI Transfer Enable is activated

S Option MPI Transfer Remote Control is activated Serial connection:

S Option Serial Transfer Enable is activated

S Option Serial Transfer Remote Control is activated

A detailed description of the settings possible in the Configuration menu is provided on Page 3-8.

Note on MPI transfer

The bus parameters (e.g. MPI address, baud rate etc.) are read out of the project currently loaded on the operating unit.

Only use these parameters when downloading a new project, even if different parameters are configured for the new project because the new parameters only take effect after downloading has been completed successfully.

3.3Options for Download Mode

Overview

The following options can be set for download mode:

SAutomatic switching to download mode from normal operation when data transfer is initiated from the connected configuration computer

SDownload mode can be restricted to a specific connection type so that downloading can only occur either via a serial connection or an MPI connection

Call in Configuration menu

The options for Download mode can only be set when the operating unit is in its start-up phase. During the start-up phase, the Start menu appears briefly (TP170 A: Figure 3-1, TP170 B: Figure 3-2, OP170 B: Figure 3-3). Press the Config button to call in the Configuration menu (TP170 A: Figures 3-4, TP170 B and OP170 B: Figure 3-5).
