Safety Guidelines

This manual contains notices which you should observe to ensure your own personal safety as well as to avoid property damage. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring to property damage only have no safety alert symbol.

Danger

indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

Warning

indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Caution

used with the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

Caution

used without safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

Notice

used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potential situation which, if not avoided, may result in an undesirable result or state.

When several danger levels apply, the notices of the highest level (lower number) are always displayed. If a notice refers to personal damages with the safety alert symbol, then another notice may be added warning of property damage.

Overview

1.1 Introduction

HMI devices in the middle performance range

The Multi Panel MP 270B, Touch Panel TP 270 and Operator Panel OP 270 extend the product spectrum in the middle performance range.

The HMI devices are based on the innovative standard operating system, Microsoft Windows CE. The robustness and speed of the dedicated hardware solutions are combined with the flexibility of the PC world.

The MP 270B represents the "Multifunctional Platform" product category and is distinguished by its variable deployment. This product category is positioned in the product hierarchy between the process-related, optimized application components, such as operator panels and controllers, and industrial PCs.

The panels TP 270 and OP 270 are downgraded models and less expensive, but still provide convincing functionality

The comprehensive product range allows users to choose the HMI device most suited to their needs. All HMI devices include the following advantages:

• High degree of configuration efficiency

• Configuration simulation on the configuration computer - no PLC required

• Clear display and easy process operation using a Window-Based user interface

• Large selection of predefined screen objects for use during configuration

• Dynamic screen objects, e.g. moving objects

• Uncomplicated and quick handling of recipes and data records in recipe screens and

recipe views

• Logging of alarms, process values and login/logout procedures

• Creation of vector graphics using the WinCC flexible configuration software without an

external graphics editor,

• Transfer:

– Automatic switchover to transfer mode

– Transfer via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, USB and Ethernet

– Serial transfer

– Transfer via TeleService

• Standard connections to SIMATIC S5/DP, SIMATIC S7 and SIMATIC 505, as well as to PLCs from other manufacturers

Overview

1.2 Field of Application

Position in the SIMATIC HMI environment

The HMI devices were designed for the middle performance range. They meet the demands placed on performance, display possibilities and price/performance ratio. In addition, they extend the communication potential of the office world. Customer needs and requests were taken into account in respect to extending data transfer functions, simplifying operation, and increasing acceptance when compared with Windows CE units.

The HMI devices not only support the classic HMI applications (visualization with WinCC flexible) but also additional applications, such as process diagnostics (ProAgent).

1.2 Field of Application

Overview

The HMI device allows graphic display of operating statuses, current process data and errors of connected PLCs. The user can operate and observe the machine or system being monitored easily using the HMI device.

Applicable areas of use include machine and apparatus construction sectors, printing and packing industries, automobile and electrical industries and chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

The high degree of protection (IP65 on the front side) and avoidance of moving storage media, such as hard disks and floppy disks, ensure that the HMI device is suitable for use in rough industrial environments and on site where a machine is located.

Possible installation locations for the HMI device:

• Switching cabinets/consoles

• 19" cabinets/racks (keyboard units)

Connection options for external peripherals (keyboard, mouse and printer) via a USB port, for example, and the possible use of CF and PC cards support multifunctionality. Due to the fact that the HMI device is equipped with high performance basic hardware and has a minimum installation depth means that it fulfills all the requirements for operation in the vicinity of the machine.

The HMI device can be used to:

• Operate and monitor the process using the menu system. Setpoint values or control element settings can be modified by entering values or activating configured softkeys

• Display processes, machines and systems on full-graphic, dynamic screens

• Display and process alarms and tags through output fields, bar graphs or trend curves

• Use input to intervene directly in the running process

Remove memory card

Caution

Ensure that the HMI device does not access the memory card during the removal process. Otherwise, the contents of the memory card will be fully destroyed.

1. Terminate access made by the HMI device to the memory card.

If the configuration engineer has defined an operating element linked to the "CloseAllLogs" system function, press the element. Otherwise, press the operating element linked to the "StopRuntime" system function in the configuration. This ends runtime.

2. Wait unit the HMI device displays the loader.

Changeover to the loader may take several minutes depending on the size and number of logs stored.

3. Remove the memory card.

Switch off the HMI device with memory card inserted

Caution

Always terminate the runtime software before switching off the voltage supply in order to prevent loss of data.

1. Terminate runtime.

Press the operating element linked to the "StopRuntime" system function in the configuration.

2. Wait unit the HMI device displays the loader.

Changeover to the loader may take several minutes depending on the size and number of logs stored.

3. Switch off the power supply.

If the power supply is interrupted during normal operation, the HMI device checks the memory card after power is restored and repairs any defect sectors.

1.7.2 Software options

1.7.2.1 Internet Explorer

Overview

The Internet Explorer supplied with the HMI device has been specially adapted to the Windows CE operating system and has a restricted functional scope (Pocket Internet Explorer). Only simple HTML pages, about 100 kb, can be displayed.

Prior to installation, use the system settings to set 1.5 Mb memory for the DRAM file system.

Caution

If too much memory is provided for the DRAM file system, runtime has too little working memory available. Therefore, in the case of incorrect settings, there is no guarantee that the runtime can run properly.

Caution

The operation of runtime together with the Internet Explorer can only be guaranteed when the run-capable configuration (*.fwx) generated is a maximum of 2 Mb.

The installation of Internet Explorer is performed using the ProSave service tool or WinCC flexible configuration software.

Files created in Internet Explorer, e.g. Favorites, are stored in the DRAM file system. The DRAM file system is deleted when the unit is switched off. However, using the system settings (OP Properties > Persistent Storage > Save Files), it is possible to backup the data currently available in the DRAM file system to the Flash memory. When the device is started up, the backup data is automatically restored.

If you remove the Internet Explorer, the files created from Internet Explorer must also be deleted. To do this, delete the files in the DRAM file system using the standard Explorer. Then backup the DRAM file system ("OP Properties > Persistent Storage > Save Files").

Reset the size of the DRAM file system to the preset value of 2 Mb.

Note

The initial configuration can be restored simply by updating the operating system.

4.3.3 Connecting the potential equalization

Ground connection

Connect the grounding connection of the HMI device to the rack ground. Use the grounding screw provided and a conducting cable with a diameter of at least 2.5 mm

Potential difference

Potential differences can occur between separate system parts which leads to high equalizing currents. An example would be when line shields are applied on both sides and grounding occurs on different system parts.

The cause of potential differences could be different mains power feed.

General requirements of potential equalization

Potential equalization lines must be installed to reduce potential differences to an extent that guarantee problem-free operation of the electronic components. Observe the following when setting up potential equalizations:

• The lower the impedance of the potential equalization lead or the larger the cross-section of the potential equalization lead, the higher the efficiency of the potential equalization.

• If two system parts are connected to each other by shielded data lines whose shielding on both sides is connected to the grounding/protective conductor, the impedance of the additionally laid potential equalization lead may be at the most 10% of the shield impedance.

• The cross-section of a potential equalization line must be sized for the maximum equalizing current which flows. In practice, potential equalization lines between cabinets with a minimum cross-section of 16 mm

• Use potential equalization lines made of copper or galvanized steel. Connect the potential equalization lines to the grounding/protective conductor with large area contact and protect them from corrosion.

• Clamp the shielding of the data line on the HMI device flush and as close as possible to the potential equalization rail using cable clips.

• Lay the potential equalization and data lines parallel to each other and within the minimum distance of each other (refer to following Figure, Point 6).

have proven sufficient.

Notice Potential equalization line

Cable shields are not suitable for potential equalization. Only use the intended potential cable prescribed. Potential cable, for example, must have a minimum cross-section of 16 mm². When setting up MPI and PROFIBUS DP networks, ensure cables with a sufficient cross)section are used otherwise the interface modules may be damaged or even destroyed.

Compressing the internal program memory with SIMATIC S5

Warning

In the case of the SIMATIC S5, compressing the PLC's internal program memory ("Compress" PU function, integrated FB COMPR) is not permitted if an HMI device is connected. When memory is compressed, the absolute addresses of the blocks in the program memory change. Since the HMI device only reads the address list during startup, it does not recognize the address change and accesses the wrong memory areas.

If you cannot avoid compressing memory during operation, turn off the HMI device before running the compress function.

4.3.7 Connecting an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)

Connecting a UPS

The following options are available to connect a UPS:

• UPS with serial interface

A UPS with serial interface is connected directly to the HMI device.

A serial connection is used with a "SITOP DC-USV Module A". The driver for detecting and configuring the UPS is contained on the WinCC flexible CD and must be installed on the HMI device using ProSave.

• UPS without serial interface

A UPS without serial interface is connected to the PLC.

The UPS signals the power failure to the connected PLC via a digital signal. The PLC program must then signal the HMI device that runtime must be terminated. To do this, the PLC changes a tag to which the "Exit runtime" function is configured in WinCC flexible.

Note

5.2.2 Function keys

Function keys with global function assignment

A softkey with global function assignment always triggers the same action on the HMI device or in the PLC. The action is independent of the screen currently selected. These actions include:

• Activate screen

• Display current error alarms

• Start screen printout (hardcopy)

All softkeys can be configured with global assignments.

Note

Multiple key operation can trigger unintentional actions.

No more than two softkeys may be pressed simultaneously.

Softkeys with local function assignment

A softkey with local function assignment can trigger different actions on the HMI device or in the PLC. The actions are dependent on the currently active screen (local significance of current screen). A configuration engineer can configure an icon for each softkey. The icon is then positioned at the edge of the screen.

The F-keys can be locally assigned.

Caution

If you press a function key after a screen change, the associated function in the new screen may be initiated before the new screen is displayed.

LED control

The light-emitting diodes (LED) in the function keys can be controlled from the PLC. A luminous or flashing LED can indicate to the operator which key to press according to specific situations.

To trigger the LEDs, the configuration engineer must configure LED tags for the softkeys.

6.3 Network operation

6.3.1 Basic principles

Purpose

The HMI devices can be connected to an Ethernet network. The MP 270B is equipped with an on-board Ethernet interface. In the case of TP 270 or OP 270, an NE2000-compatible PC card is required.

The network function can be used for the following:

• Logging data via the network

• Printing via a network printer

• Storing recipe data records in the network

• Exporting recipe data records from a network

• Importing recipe data records to a network

Requirements

• Transferring projects

• Backing up data

Notice

The HMI device can only be implemented in TCP/IP networks.

The HMI device only has client functionality in the PC network. This means that users can access files of a subscriber with TCP/IP server functionality from the HMI device via the network. However, it is not possible to access files on the HMI device via the network from a PC.

Note

Information on communication using SIMATIC S7 via Ethernet is provided in the "WinCC flexible Communication" user manual.

Within a TCP/IP network, computers are addressed by means of network names. These network names are translated from a DNS or WINS server to TCP/IP addresses. Direct addressing via TCP/IP addresses is not currently supported by the operating system. Therefore, to ensure the functionality of the HMI device in a TCP/IP network, it is useful to employ a DNS or WINS server. Appropriate servers are available in common TCP/IP networks. Please contact your network administrator.

7.2.2 Start transfer automatically

Overview

The HMI device can automatically switch to transfer mode during runtime when a transfer is started on the connected configuration computer. Transfer is completed without intervention on the HMI device. Therefore, this option is particularly recommended for the test phase of a new project.

To switch to transfer mode from normal operation, open the "Transfer Settings" window on the HMI device and activate the required connection and the corresponding "Remote Control" function.

Notice

When the "Remote Control" option is active, runtime automatically shuts down and switches to transfer mode. Shutdown is not possible when dialogs are open or a transfer has been started on the HMI device.

Close the dialog or cancel the transfer process on the configuration computer.

Following the start-up phase, disable the automatic transfer option. This will prevent inadvertently switching the HMI device to transfer mode, stopping runtime. To do this, deactivate the "Remote Control" options in the Transfer Settings defined for the HMI device.

7.2 Transfer

Warning

When the "Remote Control" checkbox is active, ensure that the HMI device is not inadvertently switched to transfer mode from the configuration computer.

In the case of PROFIBUS DP, changes may only be made here for commissioning purposes.

Following each modification of the PROFIBUS DP settings, the HMI devices only set one corresponding standard bus parameter set. In unfavorable conditions, this can lead to faults on the PROFIBUS.

In order to calculate the bus parameters exactly, the entire bus topology must be known.

Correct definition of the bus parameters for runtime is automatically ensured by the integrated operation of WinCC flexible in SIMATIC STEP 7.

Notice

If a serial printer is connected to the HMI device, deactivate it by selecting "Remote Control" checkbox for the serial communication channel. Otherwise, printing is not possible.

When a configuration is transferred from the configuration computer to the HMI device, enable a communication channel using the "Enable Channel" option.

If an interface is occupied by other programs, transfer cannot take place via that interface.

Note

The bus parameters for the MPI transfer, e.g. MPI address, baud rate, etc., are read from the project currently loaded on the HMI device.

The settings for MPI transfer can be modified. To do this, stop the runtime, modify the settings and switch to transfer mode. When runtime is subsequently started, the bus parameters are overwritten by values from the project.
