functions in tabular form.

Chapters 3 to 9 describe in step-by-step instructions how to operate oper-

ator panels – for example, how to – create new screens (in addition to the standard

screens) – output messages or alarms – enter recipe data records – print messages or screens.

Chapters 10 to 13 contain information on

– how you commission operator panels – which system settings you can perform, and – how you can back up and restore data.

Chapters 14 to 18 contain detailed information about the different devices,

as well as their mechanical and electrical installation and maintenance.

In the appendices you will such items as technical data, interface assign-

ments, test functions, and system messages.

Product Description

Overview

Application of operating panels

Electronically controlled machines are usually supervised and controlled ”on the spot”. Depending on the size and complexity of the machine or system, the requirements for operator interface systems differ greatly.

Operator panels OP25/35/45 allow a realistic graphical display of the machine or system under supervision and are designed for easy machine control.

With operator panels OP25/35/45 you can

 Control and supervise the process by means of menus – for example, you

can control setpoints or signal control elements by means of inputs, soft keys, and function and system keys.

 Visualize processes, machines and systems as pixel or character graphics

images.

 Display event and alarm messages as well as process variables as an out-

put field, a bar graph, trends or a status display, for instance.

 Intervene in the process flow using the integrated keyboard.

1.2 Process Visualization and Manipulation

“One picture is worth a thousand words” goes the familiar saying. This is particularly true of machine and system monitoring where it is impor-

tant to provide the operator with clear and easy-to-understand information about the state of the process.

Product Description

Screens

Full graphic plant screens

Bars, curves

Symbolic graphics

Process manipulation

Process values and process sequences are shown by screens which can contain graphics, texts and values. Process values in a system are often related in some way. Screens show this relationship and thus represent an image of the process.

The OP permits you to represent machines and plants as full graphic screens. This improves operator orientation.

You can show current process values (e.g., filling level and speed) as numeric values, or symbolically as text or bars.

Curves are a particularly good way to show changeable process values (e.g., changes in temperature) over a period of time.

Symbolic graphics are another way to indicate process values. Symbolic graphics are graphic elements (i.e., bit maps) which are indicated alternately to show different process states (e.g., valve open or closed).

The operator can use the OP’s integrated keyboard to intervene in the process sequence.

For example, you can control actuators (e.g., valves) by specifying process values (i.e., setpoints).

Features important to operator control include ease of handling, short training periods, and a high degree of reliability.

You can configure the structure of the OP operating environment as desired (i.e., you can tailor operator control to your particular application).

A few features:

 Free configurable function keys  Softkeys  Pop-up windows for symbolic entries

Product Description

Messages

Information texts

Recipes

Password protection

Process or machine states (e.g., the current operating mode) are displayed by the OP as plain-text event messages.

Alarm messages provide information on critical machine states. Current measured values (e.g., temperatures, speeds, etc.) can also be in-

cluded in the text of event or alarm messages. Event and alarm messages are stored with date and time in a message buffer.

At the same time, all event and alarm occurrences can be printed (if message logging is switched on and a printer is connected).

Information texts can be configured. You can use them to give the operator additional information which will help him/her to correct a malfunction.

Complete blocks of machine data can be stored as recipes on the OP. The structure of a recipe is specified during the configuring phase. It makes

no difference whether the recipes are “real recipes” or only piece number specifications, traversing paths or temperature progressions.

You can change or redefine recipe data directly on the OP.

The OP offers password protection. Each operator can be assigned a different password. A password level can then be used to enable or disable each operator’s access to special operating functions. This prevents incorrect entries and improves system security.

Multiple languages

PG functions

All messages and texts for screens can be stored in the OP in up to three different languages.

This permits international use even when operating personnel speak different languages.

The “STATUS/FORCE VARIABLE” PG functions are available for testing and trouble-shooting. They can be used on the OP to specify and change address areas in the controller. This makes on-site troubleshooting fast even without a programmer.

3.1 Keyboard

Overview

Function keys/ softkeys

The keyboard of the OP is equipped with two blocks of keys:

 The function keys/softkeys  The system keys

A function key always triggers the same action in the OP or controller (i.e., global significance for the OP) regardless of which screen is currently open. A few possible actions are listed below.

 Open a screen  Indicate the current alarm messages  Start a hardcopy of a screen  Indicate the time window

The term softkey means that function keys can have a meaning related to the currently open screen (i.e., local).

The function of a softkey can vary from screen to screen. When a screen is open, a softkey’s function is shown by an icon in the margin of the monitor screen.

The following keys can have softkey functionality:

 For OP25: F1 to F14

Repeat function (for OP45 only)

 For OP35/OP45: F1 to F20

The repeat function activates when a key is repeatedly pressed.

Note

Do not press several keys on the OP45 at the same time. This can cause incorrect entries.

Static and dynamic windows

The position of the displayed window is static on the OP25. When an alarm message window or a pop-up window is displayed, for exam-

ple, an entry field hidden by the window cannot be used. Generally , entries on the OP25 cannot be made unless all windows are closed. The OP35 can be configured with dynamic window positioning. When a window is to be displayed, it jumps automatically to a position which

does not cover up the input field or the cursor. This means that entries can always be made regardless of the contents of the

display .

The ingredients for the juices are stored in three tanks. The ingredients are mixed in certain proportions depending on which fruit juice is to be produced.

After the juice is mixed, a valve is opened, and the finished fruit juice flows into a filling tank and is then bottled. The bottles are transported on a conveyor belt. Before being filled, they are checked for glass breakage. After being filled, the bottles are sealed, labelled and palletized.

Messages

Messages inform the operator of certain occurrences by displaying a text. There are three types of messages.

 Event messages indicate process states during normal operation of the sys-

tem.

 Alarm messages indicate malfunctions/interruptions in the process.  System messages

In contrast to event and alarm messages which contain process-related information, system messages provide information on internal operating states/errors of the OP.

Messages

5.1 Event and Alarm Messages

Event and alarm messages provide information on normal or critical process states by indicating message texts. The message texts may also contain current measured values.

Below are two examples showing the differences between event and alarm messages.

Event messages

Alarm messages

The fruit juice plant has finished a mixing procedure. An event message informs the operator of this. The event message might look something like this:

Mixing procedure finished Juice in the mixer: 5000 l

The operator would now like to start the bottling procedure but has forgotten to open the filling valve. The controller automatically stops the bottling procedure and outputs an alarm message. The alarm message might look something like this:

Bottling procedure terminated Filling valve is closed !

Because of their urgency, alarm messages must be acknowledged to ensure that the operator has noticed the message.

Acknowledgement can also be performed by the controller.

5.1.1 General Features

Messages

Available methods of indication

Message line, message window

The OP offers the following ways to indicate event and alarm messages.

You can indicate a current event or alarm message in a message line or in a message window.

You can configure one of the following combinations:

 Indicate an event or alarm

Indication priorities

Each message is given a priority during configuration. This priority determines the importance of the message.

 When several messages are queued, the message with the highest priority is

indicated first.

 When several, unacknowledged alarm messages are queued, either the first

(i.e., the oldest) or the last (i.e., the latest) message is indicated. The operator can change the configured type of indication (first/last).

 When several event messages with the same priority are queued, the latest

is indicated.

Message states

Message indicator

Acknowledging alarm messages

Message occurrences may assume the following states: Arriving Marks the occurrence of the message Departed Cause of the message no longer exists. Acknowledged Only for alarm messages.

The operator or the controller has recognized the message and confirmed it.

The OP acquires these message states with the precise time and outputs them when a message page or the message buffer is indicated.

At least one alarm message is still queued when this symbol appears on the OP’s display.

Alarm messages must be acknowledged by either the operator or the controller.

Acknowledgement groups

Key Description

Acknowledge indicated alarm message

ACK

After acknowledgement, the next unacknowledged message (if one exists) is then faded in.

You can combine messages into acknowledgement groups. When the indicated message belongs to an acknowledgement group, its ac-

knowledgement automatically acknowledges all other alarm messages of this acknowledgement group.

Buffer overflow

The OP stores message occurrences in a common memory area for event and alarm messages (i.e., the so-called message buffer).

If there is only a certain amount of memory space left in the message buffer (i.e., remaining buffer space), the OP can fade in a system message to that effect.

If there is no space left in the message buffer and new messages arrive, the OP continues deleting message occurrences from the message buffer until a certain remaining buffer space is available again.

The oldest message occurrences are deleted in the following order.

1. Event messages which have already departed

2. Alarm messages which have departed and have been acknowledged

3. Event messages which are queued

4. Alarm messages which are queued

A forced printout of the deleted messages is made (if overflow was configured as on, and a printer is connected).

5.2 System Messages

System messages inform you of certain internal operating states of the OP. The messages include everything from informational notes to serious and fatal error messages.

System messages can be caused by the following:

 Operator errors

(e.g., illegal entries)

 System errors

(e.g., disturbed communication between OP and controller)

Messages

System message window

Deselecting

As soon as a certain operating state/error occurs, the OP automatically fades in a window containing a system message.

Example of a system message window:

Message number

210 Buffer overflow warning

A system message consists of a message number and a message text. The message text can also contain internal system variables which help to localize the cause of the error message.

Some system messages expect a confirmation from or a decision by the operator. For example:

“Format data medium? 0 Yes/ 1 No”

The entry of 0 (yes) or 1 (no) then determines what happens next.

The system message window can be closed by pressing the cancel key or by selecting another screen.

Error causes, remedies

The appendix of this manual contains a list of system messages including additional information on the cause of the message and any system variables indicated. In some cases, possible remedies are also shown.

Recipes

Our fruit juice plant was introduced in section 4 of this manual. The finished product of our fruit juice plant is a bottle of fruit juice.

The finished product (i.e., a bottle of fruit juice) is determined by the various variables of the system.

You can combine the variables for one type of juice into a set of “processing instructions”. This set of “instructions” is called a recipe. The individual variables are called recipe entries. Recipes are configured and cannot be changed on the OP.

One type of juice can be mixed in different concentrations to make orange “drink”, orange “nectar” or “pure” orange juice, for example. The juice can then be bottled in different-sized containers. All this is performed with the same recipe but using different values for the individual entries. Related values for the entries (e.g., for the orange drink) are combined into a data record.

6.2 Parameter Records

Recipes

Definition

Example

Processing

The parameter record is a combination of one data record each from various recipes with a common name.

The data records of a parameter record contain all values required to set a machine or plant. For example, you can use a parameter record to load the basic settings for machines which are identically equipped but produce different products.

We will now expand our example of a fruit juice plant to include three identically equipped production lines. The recipes ORANGE, GRAPEFRUIT and LEMON are run parallel on these production lines. Each of the recipes contains a “drink” data record. These three data records make up the parameter record called “drink”.

At the beginning of a shift, for example, each of the three production lines must be set to produce a special drink. You can do this with just one load operation.

A parameter record is processed in the Data Record Pr ocessing screen in the same manner as a data record.

The following can be performed on a parameter record.

 Select

Selection

 Store (set up)  Load  Delete

Parameter record must be selected as the recipe name in the Recipe: symbolic field.

Note

When parameter record” is selected as the recipe, all data records of all recipes are indicated after the SELECT softkey is pressed in the data record selection window. Parameter records (data records which exist more than once with the same name) are identified with an asterisk (*) preceding the name.

Saving (setting up)

Load

There are two ways to set up (i.e., to save on data medium) a parameter record in the Data Record Pr ocessing screen.

a) Save a data record for each recipe.

1. Select Parameter Record as recipe.

2. Specify data record name and data medium.

3. Save parameter record the same as a data record.

b) Store a data record individually for recipe selected.

1. Select recipe name.

2. Specify data record name and data medium.

3. Save data record.

4. Repeat steps 1 and 3 for each data record.

All data records with the selected name on the data medium are loaded to the OP, and then to the controller. Use the procedure described in section 6.1.1.

Note

Depending on the scope of the recipes, it may require a relatively long period of time to transfer a parameter record to the controller. For this reason, a parameter record should only contain those recipes which are absolutely necessary .

For logging purposes, you can configure a list containing up to 20 screens, which are printed automatically one after the other, one screen per page, after a print job has been initiated.

If a screen contains output fields for process values, the current values from the controller are printed for these fields.

Printing is initiated by the PLC by pressing a function key or job 85. If printing is initiated by the PLC job, a maximum of 3 screens can be printed.

You can define and print several different screen lists by embedding this function several times – for example, by assigning it to several function keys – or by passing on PLC job 85 several times.

Printing is performed in ASCII mode (i.e., graphic elements in the screens such as full-graphic screens, curves and bars are not printed). Hardcopy is disabled during the printing procedure.

The function keys/softkeys and input fields can be protected with passwords (i.e., only authorized persons can use these keys and fields).

Password, password level

Super user

Password screen

Password list

A protected function cannot be used without first entering a password with a certain password level. This password level determines the access rights of the operator.

The required password level is specified during configuration and can be a number from 0 (lowest level) to 9 (highest level).

This super user has a level-9 password which is especially specified for this purpose during configuration. It permits all operator actions.

The default system superuser password is ”100” on the standard screen on leaving the factory. The super user password can be changed on the OP.

A standard screen called Password Processing is available for entering pass- words and assigning passwords/levels.

You can look at the passwords in a password list.

Status/Force Variable with the OP

The operator panel is equipped with the Status Variable and Force Variable functions. This permits you to use standard screens to indicate operand values from the connected controller in a screen, and to change them in a second screen.

Controller operands can be processed directly on the OP during online operation. A programmer does not need to be connected to the controller.

Status Variable

Force Variable

You can use Status Variable to display the status of operands of a SIMATIC S5 or S7.

You can control operands of a SIMATIC S5 or S7 with Force Variable by modifying the variable values and transferring them back to the PLC.

Caution

Equipment Manuel OP25, OP35, OP45 Release 04/96

With the SIMATIC S5, compression of the internal program memory on the PLC (PU ”Compress” function, integrated COMPR FB) is not allowed if an OP is connected. During compression, the absolute addresses of the blocks are modified in the program memory. Since an OP reads the addresses only during start-up, it does not detect the change of address and accesses wrong memory areas.

If compression cannot be avoided during routine operation, switch off your OP before compression.

10-1

Commissioning

10.1 Initial Commissioning of the OP25/OP35

Proceed as follows:

1. Using a suitable standard cable, connect the IF2 (V.24/TTY) interface of the OP with the configuration computer (PC/PG).

2. Switch on the power supply of the OP. Since no configuration is loaded, the OP automatically goes into transfer

mode and waits for data to be transferred.

3. Download your configuration from PC/PG to the OP. The firmware of the OP is automatically transferred too.

Note

See the ProT ool description for a detailed description of how to proceed.

Overview

Scope of supply

Creating the configuration file

Depending on the requirements on the machine or system, you can also set a different key assignment. The procedure for doing this is described on the next few pages.

The scope of supply includes a program package with which you can program the two keyboards of the OP45.

The program package comprises the following files: KEYVERS.EXE for retrieving the version of the keyboard controller

DEFPAD.EXE for compiling the configuration file TASTDRV.EXE for downloading the compiled configuration file to the

keyboard controller TSCAN.EXE for retrieving the key codes OP45_FUN.DEFFile with example configuration for the function keyboard OP45_FUN.PAD compiled example file for the function keyboard OP45_SYS.DEF file with example configuration for the system keyboard OP45_SYS.PAD compiled example file for the system keyboard

Under MS-DOS, you create a configuration file containing the key definitions for every keyboard that you wish to program (system and/or function keyboard(s)).

The key definition includes the key code and the key characteristic – for example, auto-repeat. The key code is discontinued on pressing or releasing the key.

Definitions

11-8

The file contains the following definitions:

 PADTYPE: ”1” for OP45  KEYPAD: ”keypad_id”

Keypad id = 0 for system keyboard

= 1 for function keyboard

 ALPHA ”alpha level”: ”alpha key”, ”alpha led” [,”alpha flags”]

alpha level = 1 or 2 alpha key = number of the key that enables the ALPHA level. alpha led = 0 signifies that no LEDs are on.

Number of the LED which is required to go on when the

ALPHA key is pressed.

Note

Make sure that an LED is assigned to keys 1 to 16 on the system keyboard.

of the code entered under ”make_codes” is suppressed.

TYPEMATIC2 The same as TYPEMATIC, except that the first and

second bytes of the code entered under ”make_codes” are suppressed.

KEYPAD and KEY must be specified, though not all keys of a submodule need to be assigned. Definition of a maximum of three ALPHA keys is optional. Definitions must start and end on a line of their own. Definitions occupying two lines are not allowed.

The keys are numbered in every key mode from left to right and from top to bottom. The top left key is given the value 1.

You can assign any file name. The extension, however, must always be ”.DEF”.

Example: PADSYS.DEF for the system keyboard

PADFUNC.DEF for the function keyboard

Every configuration file has to be compiled using the DEFPAD program. When this is done, the consistency of the key definitions is checked, and a file having the extension ”.PAD” is created.
