SIMATIC HMI offers the entire product family for machine-level human machine interfacing from a single source. Products

The low-end and medium performance ranges cover Push Button Panels, Micro Panels, Panels, Multi Panels, right up to PC-based solutions with panel PCs. SIMATIC HMI systems used for controlling and monitoring production plants form the higher end of the performance range. These include powerful client-server systems.

Software

Different software systems are used depending on the operator panel and the plant structures.

SIMATIC ProTool

This is the configuring software for process visualization for operator panels in the low-end and medium performance ranges. The configuring software is available in three expansion levels: 





SIMATIC WinCC


ProTool/Pro for configuring the entire family of devices ProTool for configuring text displays, line-based and graphics-based operator panels, and Windows-based devices ProTool/Lite for configuring text displays, line-based operator panels, and the Windows-based devices TP 170A, TP170B and OP170B.

This is the configuring software for structures in the high-end performance range. The sector- and technology-neutral basic system can be expanded with optional packages that enable the setup of powerful and redundant client-server structures.

The Aims


Integration

Date: Fi le:


09.08.2004 0 1_S yst em _O ver vi ew.6

The engineering software is standardized with WinCC flexible. This offers you integrated configuring of all HMI devices, from the simple panel right up to the PC.

Developm ent st ages This integration is achieved in several stages. First, WinCC flexible V1 implements the functionality of the ProTool family. WinCC flexible V2 then covers the functional range of WinCC V6. Intelligent tools

Intelligent tools are available to you for effective configuring. These include the Project Assistant, graphical configuring of picture navigation, configuring of trajectories, central modification of re ferenced objects, and mass data processing for generating and configuring several objects in a single operation.

Project with several devices

From the WinCC flexible "Compact“ edition, you can create one project with several operator panels.

Device-dependent function range

When you process projects for different operators panels with WinCC flexible, the function range adapts itself to that of the operator panel during configuration. Depending on the operator panel, only the functions suitable to that device are then available. You configure only those functions that are supported by the selected operator panel and this makes configuring simpler and clearer.

Individual setup

In WinCC flexible, you can configure the position and behavior of windows individually. This provides you with the facility for adapting the working environment to suit your needs. The configuration of the environment is associated with the user logged on to Microsoft Windows.

WinCC flexible consists of three components: Engineering System

The Engineering System is the software with which you carry out all the necessary configuring tasks.

Runtime

WinCC flexible Runtime is the software for process visualization. With Runtime, you execute the project during process operation.

Options

You can flexibly expand the basic functionality of WinCC flexible with options. A special license is required for each option. Options are available both for the Engineering System and for Runtime. The options depend on the target device used. An operator panel that does not support a specific functionality also cannot use the associated option.

Stage 2 planned for 2006


The Engineering System of WinCC flexible is modularly graded into different editions. The edition determines which operator panels are available for the basic system. The WinCC flexible edition used determines which types of operator panels you can configure. With each higher edition, a wider range of target devices and functions is supported. If you want to configure an operator panel that is not supported by the current WinCC flexible edition, you can change at any time to a higher edition with a Powerpack. All existing functions remain available to you. (Supersetting )

With the WinCC flexible Engineering System, you configure operator interfaces for operating and monitoring machines and plants. The relevant configuring data are stored in the project database. Editors

WinCC flexible has a special editor for every configuring task. A basic distinction is made between graphical editors such as the picture navigation editor, and table editors such as the variable editor.

Work area

In the Work Area, you edit the objects of the project with the editors started. All elements of WinCC flexible are arranged around the work area.

Project window

In the Project window, you access the project data. The editors available to you depend on the WinCC flexible edition used and the operator panel to be configured. In the Project window of WinCC flexible, you always see only the editors that are supported by the current operator panel. This makes configuring simple and clear.

Properties wi ndow

In the Properties window, you edit the properties of objects such as picture objects. The Properties window is available in certain editors only.

Task w indow

The Task window displays system messages that are created when a project is generated, for example.

Object w indow

The editor elements you have selected in the Project window are displayed in the Object window, enabling fast access to the required objects.

Tool window

The Tool window contains different types of objects that are frequently needed in process pictures and it enables access to libraries.

When you process projects for different operator panels with WinCC flexible, the function range adapts to that of the operator panel during configuring. A different number of functions is available depending on the operator panel. You configure only those functions that are supported by the operator panel selected. This means you can use one project for several target devices. If you change the target device, only the project data view changes, so no configured objects are deleted, only removed from view.

Interface

In WinCC flexible, you can individually configure the position and behavior of windows and symbol bars. Configuration of the work environment of WinCC flexible is linked to the user logged on to Microsoft Windows. When the project is saved, the positions and behavior of windows and symbol bars are also automatically saved.

The increasing complexity of modern automation projects requires constant function expansions and improvements during their development and also within the scope of service and maintenance. WinCC flexible projects are also subject to a continuous process of modification and improvement, necessitating the use of a version management system. This is implemented in WinCC flexible with the "ChangeControl" option available from the “Advanced” edition. Versi on management With version management, you can store and manage the development stages of your project as project versions. If required, in the event of data loss, for example, you can fall back on an older development stage and re-build on that basis. Version management enables later correction of older project stages. This is necessary when an error has to be corrected in an older project version that is already in use in Runtime. However, projects are usually further developed in the intervening period. The error can be corrected in the older project version without affecting the current project stage. Version comparison

It is also possible to compare the current project version with an older one. The result of the comparison is a table listing the modified objects.

Modification logbook The modification logbook can be switched on during configuring. This logs all modifications made to the project in a central log file.

The project created with WinCC flexible ES must be ported to the configured target device for execution. For this, you require the WinCC flexible Runtime software. This is either provided together with the operator panel or it can be obtained separately for PC systems as WinCC flexible Runtime. WinCC flexible Runtime

WinCC flexible Runtime is an easy-to-use and high-performance software for process visualization that runs under Windows 2000 professional and Windows XP professional. WinCC flexible Runtime is characterized by a pixelgraphics user interface based on windows technology. You also use WinCC flexible Runtime Professional on your configuring computer for testing and simulating the generated project file.

With the Runtime options, you can expand the basic functionality of WinCC flexible Runtime. You require a separate license fo r each option. Requirements

The following requirements apply for the use of Runtime options: 




The options are dependent on the target device used. An operator panel that does not support the archiving functionality, for e xample, can also not use the relevant option. Authorization for the use of the option must be present on the target system. If you have not obtained the authorization for the option, the configured functionality runs only in demo mode on the operator panel.







Distributed operator stations for operating large and geographically distributed machines Local operator stations with plant-wide access to current process data Simple control consoles for central archiving, analysis and further processing of process data Provision of up-to-date process data for higher-level systems (SCADA, production management systems, office applications)

Panels and Multi Panels of the 270 and 370 series and PCs with WinCC flexible Runtime are suitable for this. Communication

Communication between HMI systems is implemented in three different ways that can also be used in combination:

Sm@rtServer / Sm@rtClient

An operator panel configured as a Sm@rtServer can be monitored or operated remotely by another PC or operator panel.

HTTP protocol

The variables of an operator panel configured as a SIMATIC HMI HTTP server can be accessed using the SIMATIC HMI HTTP protocol.

Web service (SOAP) Using the Web service (SOAP) and a VBA macro, the variables of an operator panel can be accessed from an external application such as MS Excel

You can use the Sm@rtService for remote operation, remote diagnostics and remote maintenance of operator stations over the Internet or company intranet. Panels of the 270 series, Multi Panels, and PCs with WinCC flexible Runtime are suitable for this. Remote operation and remote monitoring of stations with WinCC flexible using MS Internet Explorer requires a TCP/IP communication link (LAN, intranet/Internet).

Web server

An integral Web server provides standard HTML pages with the following functions: 

Remote operation



Starting and stopping of Runtime for maintenance purposes





Remote access to recipe data records, password lists and system-specific information Access to the files of the station via the integral file browser Download of configuration data

You can replace the standard HTML pages with your own. Email

In Runtime, emails can be sent automatically via an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server to the maintenance personnel. An email can be triggered by the following: 




Message of a specific message class Event on which the function SendEMail has been configured. For example, a change in the value of a variable, etc.

To retain the value of already created ProTool and WinCC V6 projects, they can be opened and converted in WinCC flexible. The converters are a component part of WinCC flexible and are started immediately when a ProTool or WinCC V6 project is opened. The scope of the migration depends on the operator panel on which the project is to run: Windows devices

The projects for Windows-based panels from the TP170A to the MP370 can be converted direct in a WinCC flexible project of the same device type.

RMOS panel OP7 line-based unit

On line-based devices, only migration from OP7 p rojects is possible. On projects for these operator panels an automatic change is made to an OP77B operator panel within the scope of the migration.

RMOS panels The projects for RMOS graphics-based panels such as the OP25, Graphics-based OPs OP27, TP27, up to the OP37 can be converted in WinCC flexible projects. However, a compatible Windows-based device must be selected. WinCC V6

WinCC V6 projects can be only partly converted with WinCC flexible V1. This includes pictures with their graphics objects, tags and connections.

Restrictions

Projects based on TP Designer cannot be converted.

Integration into STEP 7


Date: Fi le:

09.08.2004 0 1_S yst em _O ver vi ew.2 1


If you use a SIMATIC controller and you have installed the STEP7 configuring software on your system, you can integrate WinCC flexible into SIMATIC STEP7. Benefits

With integrated configuring, you access the database that you created when configuring the controller with SIMATIC STEP7. This gives you the following benefits:

Management

You can use the SIMATIC Manager as the central control point for creating, editing and managing WinCC flexible projects.

Communication

The communication parameters of the controller are pre-ass igned when you create the WinCC flexible project, and they are defined again in SIMATIC STEP7 in the event of changes.

Symbol access

When configuring variables and range pointers, you can access the STEP7 symbols direct in WinCC flexible. In the WinCC flexible variable dialog, just select the STEP7 symbol with which you want to link a variable. Changes to the symbol table in SIMATIC STEP7 are updated in WinCC flexible.

Messages

When configuring messages in SIMATIC STEP7, the stored texts and attributes are saved to the database shared with WinCC flexible. When the project is generated, WinCC flexible automatically imports the required data and transfers them later to the operator panel.
