2.5 Guidelines for Trouble-Free Installation

Installing and Preparing the C7
Overview
Cabling Rules
Wiring Closet Layout
T o prevent disturbances, the wiring and cabling in an automation system must be installed according to certain rules.
If a system is poorly grounded or not shielded, low frequency and high frequency interference signals can be coupled into the internal bus of the controller and cause malfunctions.
Interference signals or noise can be caused for example by switching relays or contactors (rapid changes in current or voltage levels, high frequency interference signals) or by different ground potentials between two sections of the system (low frequency interference signals).
Only shielded cables are permitted for data lines and analog signal lines.
S Cable shields must be grounded at both ends.
The standard cables in the catalogs ST80.1 and ST70 meet these requirements.
S All plug-in connectors must be secured by screws or locked in position. S Data lines and signal lines must not be laid parallel to power lines. Use a
separate cable duct for signal lines with a minimum clearance of 50 cm to power lines.
Install devices that could introduce interference signals from the outside at the bottom of the wiring closet The grounding rail should be located directly at the point of entry to the closet so that cables that could be carrying interference signals can be connected directly to ground. The shields of all shielded cables must make contact here. If the signal lines have a double shield, only the outer shield makes contact here.
Install long signal lines along the walls of the wiring closet. T o reduce interference, it is important to plan the layout of the wiring closet in keeping with the EMC guidelines. All the chassis connections in the wiring closet must be established with large conductor cross-sections and contact should be over a large an area as possible.
Analog devices installed in the wiring closet should be insulated and grounded at one point in the closet (use copper band!).
Always use metal parts with the same electrical characteristics in the cabinet (do not use aluminum due to the danger of oxidization).
C7-621 / C7-621 AS-i Control Systems C79000-G7076-C621-01
2-13
Page 32
Installing and Preparing the C7
All the doors and metal panels (side, rear and top panels) of the wiring closet should be connected at least three times to the closet frame (keep the connections short and make sure that contact is over a large area with bare, unpainted metal).
Note
If you use equipment that generates high electrostatic voltages (for example textile machinery), the grounding cables of the machine parts producing high voltage interference signals should be connected to a separate ground (surface grounding with building construction, reinforcement) from the grounding point of the wiring closet.
The manual /70/ contains installation guidelines and deals with measures for protecting from interference.
Overvoltage Protection
Measures to prevent overvoltage and lightning protection are described in the guidelines in /70/ .

In this Chapter
Chapter Overview
This chapter describes how to configure an MPI network. You will learn the following:
S Which communication options are available to you with an MPI network. S The components to which you can connect the nodes of an MPI network. S The maximum and minimum cable lengths you can use. S How to connect the PROFIBUS LAN cable to the bus connector. S How to use an RS 485 repeater. S Special considerations when connecting a programming device.
Before the individual nodes on an MPI network can communicate with each other, you must assign MPI addresses to them. How you assign MPI addresses and the rules to be observed are described in the user manual /231/. for S7 and in the ProTool documentation for the C7 OP.
Volume 2 of this manual, Section 3.4.10 contains the information you require for configuring communication with specific C7 CPUs.

3.1 Communication via the MPI Interface

Definition: Multipoint Interface MPI
Transmission Rate
Connectable Devices
Device/Node
The C7 interface for connecting devices such as programming devices is known as the Multipoint Interface since several devices at different locations (points) can communicate with the C7 via this interface.
The transmission rate of the C7 is fixed at 187.5 Kbps.
You can create an MPI network by interconnecting the following devices:
S Programming devices (PG/PC) S Operator interface systems (OPs) S S7-300 / M7-300 S S7-400 / M7-400 S Further C7s S FMs, CPs
Convention: In the following sections, all the devices interconnected on an MPI network will be called nodes. Please note that the C7 itself occupies two MPI addresses and therefore represents two nodes, as follows:
– One for the C7 CPU
Segment
Number of Nodes
MPI Addresses
– One for the C7 OP
A segment is a section of the network between two terminating resistors. A segment can include up to 32 nodes. A segment is also limited by the maximum permitted cable length that depends on the transmission rate (see Section 3.3)
You can interconnect up to 126 (addressable) nodes on an MPI network.
T o allow all the nodes connected to the MPI network to communicate with each other, you must assign an MPI address to each node and you must also set a highest MPI address. Before you network the nodes, you must assign the MPI addresses individually on a programming device.
Note
The RS 485 repeater is not assigned an MPI address.

PG 0 15
C7 OP 1 Depends on the OP
C7 CPU 2 15
When assigning MPI addresses, keep to the following rules:
S Each MPI address within an MPI network must be unique. S The highest possible MPI address must be higher than the highest actual
MPI address and must be set to the same value on all nodes. (Exception: connecting a programming device to several nodes; see Chapter 4).
A CPU can communicate with up to four C7 CPUs or S7-300 CPUs. These can exchange shared data with each other. For more detailed information about shared data, refer to the manual /231/.
GD Circles
The transmission and reception of shared data is organized in GD circles. Each C7 CPU can be included in up to four different GD circles.

3.2 Rules for Configuring an MPI Network

Overview
Rules
This section deals with the following topics:
S How to configure an MPI network S Rules for configuring the network
Remember the following rules when connecting nodes to an MPI network:
S Before interconnecting the individual nodes of the MPI network, you
must first assign the MPI address and the highest MPI address to each node (except for the RS 485 repeater).
Tip: Put a label with the MPI address on the housing of all the nodes in the MPI network. This means that you can always see which MPI address has been assigned to which node in your system.
S Connect up all the nodes on the MPI network as shown in Figure 3-3, in
other words integrate the stationary programming devices and OPs directly in the MPI network.
This means that only the programming devices or OPs required for installation or maintenance must be connected via tap lines to the MPI network.
S If you operate more than 32 nodes in a network, the bus segments must be
connected via RS 485 repeaters.
S Ungrounded bus segments and grounded bus segments are connected via
RS 485 repeaters.
3-4
S Each RS 485 repeater in the network reduces the maximum number of
nodes per bus segment. This means that if there is an RS 485 repeater in a bus segment, the maximum number of other nodes is reduced to 31 for this segment. The number of RS 485 repeaters in the network, however, does not affect the maximum number of nodes on the network.
Up to 10 segments can be connected in series.
S Activate the terminating resistor on the first and last node in a segment. S Before you include a new node in the MPI network, you must first turn
off its power supply.

Recommendation for MPI Addresses on the Network
Components
Using the RS 485 Repeater
Terminating Resistor
Avoid assigning the default MPI addresses (see below) as fixed node addresses in the network otherwise address conflicts can occur when you replace devices or expand the network (MPI addresses assigned twice).
S Reserve MPI address “0” for a service programming device S Reserve address “1” for the C7 OP S Reserve address “2” for the C7 CPU.
This avoids double assignment of MPI addresses if you install a further C7 or S7-300 with its default address (for example when replacing a C7).
The individual components are interconnected via bus connectors and the PROFIBUS LAN cable. Remember to use a bus connector with a PG interface for nodes to which a PG might need to be connected (see also Section 3.5).
T o connect two segments or to extend the length of the cable, use RS 485 repeaters.
Installing and using the repeater is explained in the reference manual /71/.
A cable must be terminated by its characteristic resistance. This is achieved simply by activating the integrated terminating resistor on the first and last node of a network.
Terminating Resistor on the Bus Connector
Remember that the terminating resistor requires power to be effective. Make sure that the power supply to the nodes on which the terminating resistor is activated is on during startup and operation.
Figure 3-1 shows you the switch settings for the terminating resistor on the bus connector.

3.3 Cable Lengths

Segment in an MPI Network
Longer Cable Lengths
C7
The maximum cable length in one segment of an MPI network is 50 m. These 50 m represent the distance from the first node to the last node on the segment.
If you require longer cable lengths than permitted in one segment, you must then use RS 485 repeaters. The maximum possible cable length between RS 485 repeaters corresponds to the cable length of a segment. Remember, however, that when using these maximum lengths, no further node (remote segment) can be located between the two RS 485 repeaters. You can connect up to nine RS 485 repeaters in series.
If you use an RS 485 repeater, remember that this must also be included in the number of nodes when calculating the number of nodes although it is not assigned its own MPI number.
Figure 3-5 shows how the cable for an MPI network can be extended using RS 485 repeaters.

Configuring an MPI Network
Connecting the Bus Connector
T o connect the bus connector, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Plug the bus connector into the module.
2. Screw the bus connector securely to the module.
3. If the bus connector with the order number 6ES7 ... is located at the start or end of a segment, you must activate the terminating resistor (switch setting “ON”) (see Figure 3-14 ).
Note
The bus connector 6ES7 972-0BA30-0XA0 does not have a terminating resistor. You cannot plug in this bus connector at the start or end of a segment.
Make sure that the stations on which the terminating resistor is located are always turned on during startup and operation.

You can remove the bus connector with a LAN cable connected through at any time from the PROFIBUS DP interface without interrupting the data exchange on the bus.
Warning
Disturbance of data exchange on the bus is possible! A bus segment must always be terminated at both ends. This is, for example,
not the case if the power supply to the last slave with a bus connector is not turned on. Since the bus connector takes its power from the station, this would make the terminating resistor ineffective.
Make sure that the stations on which the terminating resistor is activated, are always turned on.

Possibilities
Two Installation Options
This section explains how to connect a programming device or PC to more than one node networked via the multipoint interface.
When you connect a programming device/PC to more than one node, you must distinguish between two different types of connection:
S Fixed installation of the programming device/PC in the MPI network S Programming device/PC connected only for installation and maintenance
work.
Depending on the network attachment, you connect the programming device/PC with other nodes as follows (see also Section 3.2).
Network Attachment
Programming Device/PC installed permanently in the network.
PG/PC attached for installation and maintenance.
The programming device/PC is included directly in the MPI network.
The programming device/PC is connected to a node via a tap line.

T o attach a programming device/PC to an MPI network with an “Unknown” node address, it is advisable to set the following address on the service programming device/PC:
S MPI address: 0 S Highest MPI address: 126.
Following this, use the STEP 7 function Hardware Configuration to find out the highest MPI address in the MPI network and then set the highest MPI address on the programming device/PC to the same value as that of the MPI network.

Connecting a Grounded Programming Device to the MPI
If you install the nodes of a subnet or an S7-300 without grounding, only an ungrounded programming device can be connected to the subnet or to the S7-300.
You want to use ungrounded nodes. If the MPI is grounded on the PG, you must include an RS 485 repeater between the nodes and the PG. The ungrounded nodes must be connected to bus segment 2 if the PG is connected to bus segment 1 (terminals A1 B1) or the programming device/OP interface (see Chapter 7 in the reference manual Module Data).
Figure 4-4 shows the RS 485 repeater as an interface between a grounded and an ungrounded node in an MPI subnet.

5.2 The AS-i Cable

Attaching a C7-621 AS-i
Overview
Attaching to the AS-i Cable
The AS-i cable (a profile cable) allows simple and fast installation of an AS-i system. The AS-i cable is a rubberized 2-wire cable (2 x 1.5 mm
2
). The
special profile of the cable prevents polarity reversal when connecting nodes.
Attachments are made to the AS-i cable using the penetration technique. Contacts penetrate the rubberized jacket and make contact to the two cores. This guarantees a low transition resistance and a reliable data connection. The cable does not need to be cut, stripped or screwed. T o attach to the network, there are coupling modules that use the penetration technique.
10 mm
4 mm
6,5 mm
Figure 5-2 Cross-Section of the Cable
The jacket of the AS-i cable is rubber. If it becomes necessary to move modules after they have been connected to the AS-i cable, this can be done without any problem. The AS-i cable is self-healing. This means that the holes made by the contacts penetrating the jacket close automatically and re-establish degree of protection IP67. When the cable is installed in an AS-i module, the cable seals the cable inlets. This allows degree of protection IP67 to be achieved.
Using Other 2-Wire Cables
Apart from the special AS-i cable, any 2-wire cable with a cross-section of 2 x 1.5 mm change from the special AS-i cable to another cable (for example a standard round cable), there is a special module without integrated electronics available (transition from the AS-i cable to four M12 terminals and transition from the AS-i cable to one M12 terminal).

Overview
Cables for Analog Signals
Connecting Sensors to Analog Inputs
Depending on the type of measurement, you can connect various sensors to the analog inputs:
S Voltage sensors S Current sensors
This section describes how to connect sensors and points to note when connecting them.
You should use shielded, twisted pair cables for analog signals. This reduces the effects of noise. The shield of the analog cables should be grounded at both ends. If there are potential differences between the ends of the cable, an equipotential current can flow through the shield and cause disturbances to the analog signals. In this case you should only ground the cable at one end.
A potential difference U cable AIx-M of the input channels and the reference point of the measuring circuit M. This potential difference must, however, not exceed the permitted limit value (see technical data). If it is possible that the permitted value for U
will be exceeded or if you cannot measure the potential difference

With the analog output, you can supply loads/actuators with current or voltage.
You should use shielded, twisted pair cables for analog signals. This reduces the effects of noise. The shield of the analog cables should be grounded at both ends. If there are potential differences between the ends of the cable, an equipotential current can flow through the shield and cause disturbances to the analog signals. In this case you should only ground the cable at one end.
