Getting Started with Component based AutomationA5E00122600-03 1-1

Getting Started - Introduction 1The aim of these instructions is to teach you how to work with SIMATIC iMap withreference to a specific automation task.

Aims and Target Groups

These instructions can be subdivided into two groups of tasks:

Target group Task

Plant and machine constructors Creating PROFInet components with SIMATIC iMapSTEP 7 AddOn

Plant planners and operators • Planning and commissioning a plant withSIMATIC iMap

• Visualizing and analyzing process data

Basic Knowledge Required

The basic knowledge you will need depends on your aims.

It is assumed that plant and machine constructors who are creating PROFInetcomponent will know the following:

• How to use stored program controllers,

• Knowledge of the SIMATIC modules used (e.g. ET 200S, ET 200X) andWindows Logic Controller (WinLC PN)

• How to work with STEP 7 (e.g. programming and planning)

Planners and plant operators who use the off-the-shelf PROFInet components, andtherefore only work with SIMATIC iMap, also require:

• Knowledge of the technical processes used within the plant,

• Knowledge of Windows applications,

• Knowledge of the PROFInet components used.

Getting Started - Introduction

Getting Started with Component based Automation1-2 A5E00122600-03

Description of the Automation Task

In the machining station of a machine, workpieces are fed in (1), machined (2) andthen removed (3). A higher-level controller (4) coordinated the individual partialfunctions, and makes the necessary data available via integral operator monitoringand control functions (5). The machined workpieces are then moved on to asecond machine (6). The number of transported workpieces should also berecorded on the analysis PC (5).

Figure 1-1 Automation Task

This automation task differs from the viewpoints of the two target groups:

• Plant and machine constructors have to create reusable PROFInet componentsfrom the parts of the plant. SIMATIC iMap STEP 7 AddOn helps them to createPROFInet components from SIMATIC automation and field devices.

• Plant planners and operators have to plan the plant with reference to off-the-shelf PROFInet components. SIMATIC iMap helps them to plan andcommission the plant and to visualize the process data.

Getting Started - Introduction


Steps of the Solution

The automation task can be broken down into individual steps of the solution, fromanalysis of the plant through to analysis of the process data. These tasks aregenerally carried out by different users, each using the necessary software.

You can also select and edit individual steps for this sample project, where suchsteps are of relevance for your specific tasks.

Step 1: Defining your PROFInetcomponents 22.1 Breaking down the plant into modules

Breaking Down the Plant into Technological Modules

Before you can create PROFInet components using STEP 7 and then interconnectthe associated technological functions in SIMATIC iMap, you must first break downthe plant into reusable modules. These technological modules should form a singleunit consisting of electrical, mechanical and control functions. The plant describedin the automation task section can be broken down as follows:

Structure of the Plant

Figure 2-2 Structure of the plant from the sample project

Reusable Modules

Breaking down the plant gives the following reusable modules:

• one coordination station,

• two transport modules,

• one machining station

PROFInet components are to be created for these modules.

The next step is to define the devices and technological functions for the PROFInetcomponents to be created.



2.2 Defining Devices and Technological Functions

Devices and Component Interfaces of the Modules

Once you have identified the modules in the plant, you can then define thecomponent interfaces. In STEP 7, the component interface of a PROFInetcomponent is implemented by the interface DB that determines the connectorsbetween PROFInet components in SIMATIC iMap.

Interface definitions for the Coordinator, Conveyor and ProcessStation componentsare needed for the plant described in the automation task.

Coordinator Component

The coordinator contains the higher-level functions of a plant.

The OFF/ON signals from the control element ("OffOn" input) are converted to astatic ON signal and output at the "StatOn" output. The processing time"ProcTimeHMI" specified in the control element is limited, and is output at the"ProcTime" output.

The device is a PC station running WinLC PN V1.1 on the Ethernet with aPROFIBUS connector. It acts as a DP master with proxy functionality.

Table 2-3 Component interface for the Coordinator component

Input /Output

Name Type Initial value Description

Input OffOn BOOL FALSE OFF/ON pulse from the HMI

Input ProcTimeHMI INT 0 Machining time from the HMI

Output StatIn BOOL FALSE Stations ON

Output ProcTime INT 0 Output machining time



Conveyor Component

The conveyor element transports the material in one direction and at one speed. Ithas a sensor on both the input and the output side.

If no errors have occurred and the conveyor is not assigned, the enable signal isoutput at the "ReleaseOut" output for the upstream components. The drive startseither if a log-on signal is received at the "AnnounceIn" input and the conveyor is inthe ON state without errors, or in response to a rising edge at the sensor on theinput side. The assigned state is set by a rising edge at the sensor on the inputside. The drive stops either in response to the sensor on the output side and if noenable signal is received at the "ReleaseIn" input from the next element, or inresponse to the falling edge at the sensor on the output side, which also resets theassigned state.

The drive’s run time is monitored. If this time is exceeded, a fault is set at the"Faulty" output. This can be reset via the "Reset" input on the control element(HMI).

The device is an ET 200X with a BM 147/CPU basic module that acts as anintelligent slave on the PROFIBUS.

Table 2-4 Component interface for the Conveyor component

Input /Output


Input ON BOOL FALSE ON signal from higher-levelcontroller

Input ReleaseIn BOOL FALSE Enable signal from downstreammachine

Input AnnounceIn BOOL FALSE Log-on signal from upstreammachine

Output Assigned BOOL FALSE Assigned state

Output ReleaseOut BOOL FALSE Enable signal for upstreammachine

Output AnnounceOut BOOL FALSE Log-on to downstream machine

Table 2-5 Non-interconnectable connectors of the Conveyor component

Input /Output


Input Reset BOOL FALSE Initialization from HMI

Output Faulty BOOL FALSE Fault



Note

The "Reset" input and "Faulty" output are non-interconnectable, i.e. they can onlybe accessed via OPC/HMI.

ProcessStation Component

Processing the "ProcessStation" component stops the conveyor. The cylinder thenmoves into the working position. Once the machining time has elapsed, it movesback into the home position and enables the conveyor once more.

If no errors have occurred and the conveyor is not assigned, the enable signal isoutput at the "ReleaseOut" output for the upstream components. The drive startseither if a log-on signal is received at the "AnnounceIn" input and the conveyor is inthe ON state without errors, or in response to a rising edge at the sensor on theinput side. The assigned state is set by a rising edge at the sensor on the inputside. The drive stops either in response to the sensor on the output side and if noenable signal is received at the "ReleaseIn" input from the next element, or inresponse to the falling edge at the sensor on the output side, which also resets theassigned state.

The drive’s run time is monitored. If the run time is exceeded, a fault is set. Thiscan be reset using the Reset command on the control element (HMI).

The device is an ET 200S with an IM 151/CPU that acts as an intelligent slave onthe PROFIBUS.

Input /Output


Input ON BOOL FALSE ON signal from higher-level controller

Output ReleaseOut BOOL FALSE Enable signal for upstream machine

Output AnnounceOut BOOL FALSE Log-on to downstream machine

Output ProcTimeOut INT 0 Actual machining time

Step 2: Creating PROFInet Components with STEP 7


Main Procedure

The PROFInet components are created using STEP 7. The following steps arerequired to create each PROFInet component:

1. In SIMATIC Manager, create a project for a component and configure thestation hardware in HW Config.

2. Create the interface DB for the component interface.

3. Create and test the S7 program.

4. Select the PROFInet component using a menu command and store it in adirectory.

Procedure with STEP 7 Sample Projects

Sample projects for the automation task described above are installed, togetherwith SIMATIC iMap STEP 7 AddOn, in the Step7 \ Examples directory. If you usethese samples, you will not need to carry out steps 1 to 3 above. You can openand view individual blocks from the STEP 7 projects supplied, but you will not haveto copy any blocks or type out sections of programs.

The existing sample projects require the following procedure in the subsequentsections:

1. Open the sample project in SIMATIC Manager and Hardware configuration.

2. Open the interface DB and other program blocks.

3. Create the PROFInet component.

The sample projects can be used as templates for creating further PROFInetcomponents. Steps 2 and 3 allow you to modify these projects to suit yourrequirements.

More Detailed Information

The information in these Getting Started instructions is limited to the sample projectand the bare essentials. For more detailed information on the individual topics,consult the SIMATIC iMap online documentation under "Creating PROFInetComponents with STEP 7".

Next Steps

3.2.2 Blocks in the S7 Program

The block folder for the project contains the S7 program blocks. The interface DB(DB100) was created specifically for the basic project from which the "Coordinator"PROFInet component is created.

In all the sample projects described here, the interface DB is the global data blockDB100.

Interface DB

The interface DB contains the interface definition of the PROFInet component. Itreturns the STEP 7 program name and the data types and attributes of the inputsand outputs. In SIMATIC iMap, connector information entered about the PROFInetcomponent is converted into graphical format:

Example: Interface DB



User-Defined Attributes

The user-defined attributes are an important part of interface DB declarations.

Step Description

1 In SIMATIC Manager, open the block folder for the "Coordinator" project.

2 Select block DB100 and open the Object Properties dialog.

The "Attributes" tab should contain the attribute "CBA_db", with the value "true".This attribute identifies the block as an interface DB.

3 Close the "Properties" dialog.

4 Double click on DB100 to open it.

Inputs and outputs that are identified by a flag symbol also have user-definedattributes that determine the type of connector.

5 Click on the flag symbol to view the assigned attributes.

The "OffOn" entry is identified as the first input.

The "StatOn" entry is identified as the first output. It has the attribute"CBA_direction" and the value "out".

Additional information about user-defined attributes can be found under "Propertiesof the Interface DB" in the SIMATIC iMap basic help.



Organizational Blocks Required

The S7 program on the WinLC PN must contain the following organizational blocksin order to be able to respond to events:

• Diagnostic alarm OB (OB 82) – e.g. if a DP slave is switched to STOP or RUN

• Program sequence error OB (OB 85) – e.g. for errors that occur when theprocess image is updated when a DP slave fails

• Rack failure OB (OB 86) – e.g. when the connection to a DP slave is interrupted

3.2.3 Creating PROFInet Components

Requirements

• The S7 project for the "Coordinator" component has been created and thehardware is configured.

• The interface DB has been created.

• A SIMATIC iMap library for "Getting Started" containing off-the-shelf PROFInetcomponents can be found in the iMap install directory atiMap\Examples\libs\Getting_Started.

Next Steps

• Once you have created a new library, you should then import the PROFInetcomponents that you created in STEP 7 from the file system and into the newlibrary. To do this, go to step 4.

• If you wish to work with the off-the-shelf library which already contains a numberof prepared PROFInet components from the sample project, then go to step 5.



4.2 Step 4: Importing PROFInet Components into a Library

Requirements

• The library "lib_1" must be created and open in SIMATIC iMap.

• The PROFInet components were created with STEP 7 and are stored in the"PROFInet_Components" folder in the file system or

• the path to the off-the-shelf PROFInet components is already known (generallyPrograms / Siemens / iMap / examples / components).

Importing Components into the Library

Before you can edit the PROFInet components in the sample project, you must firstimport them from the file system and into the new SIMATIC iMap library.

Table 4-3 Importing Components into the Library

Step Description

1 Right click in the library window and then select the ImportComponents...command from the context menu.

2 Under “Search in“, select the path Programs / Siemens / iMap / components.



Step Description

Step Description

4 Repeat steps 1 to 3 with the "Conveyor" and "ProcessStation" PROFInetcomponents until you have imported all the PROFInet components that youneed for your project into the library.

Tips

• The preview window contains the PROFInet component that is selected in thelibrary window. It is represented as a technological function with inputs andoutputs or as a device with its bus ports on two table (see diagrams above).

• You can change the component representation and display the details using theView context menu in the library window.

Next Steps

Inserting PROFInet components from the library into the project.



4.3 Step 5: Inserting PROFInet components into the project

Requirements

• The PROFInet components have been imported into the library and the "lib_1"library is open.

or

• The "Getting_Started" library is open.

Inserting PROFInet Components from the Library into the Project

PROFInet components can be inserted into the plant view or into the network viewfor the project in one of the following ways:

• Highlight the component in the library window and then select Paste IntoProject from the context menu.

• Drag the component from the library into one of the windows – network view,plant view or project window.

Table 4-4 Inserting PROFInet Components into the Project

Step Description

1 Switch from the plant view to the network view.

2 In the library window, highlight the "Coordinator" component, then select PasteInto Project from the context menu.

The Ethernet is represented by a green line and the PROFIBUS by a violet linein the network view. The "Coordinator" is automatically coupled to the Ethernetand as a master to the PROFIBUS.



Step Description

3 Use Drag & Drop to insert the "Conveyor" component from the library into thenetwork view. The possible destinations on the PROFIBUS are indicated bygreen segments.

4 Repeat step 3 with the "ProcessStation" and "Conveyor" components until youhave inserted all the components that you need for your project.

In the project window, the component is listed as a technological function on the"Plant chart" tab and as a device on the "Network chart" tab.

Note

If a DP slave component is inserted into the network view first, then thiscomponent appears in the network view above a separating line. It can then beconnected to the PROFIBUS using Drag&Drop.



Example for Unconnected Components

Figure 4-1 Example for Unconnected Components

Hint

Close any windows that you do not need. You can open them again using the Viewmenu.

Next Steps

Assigning addresses to the devices in the network view.



4.4 Step 6: Assigning addresses

Requirements

• The PROFInet components have been inserted into the project.

• The IP address and subnet mask for the PC on which the WinLC PN is installedare both known.

• The PROFIBUS addresses have been set for the devices.

The addresses must be assigned to the devices in the plant using the device-specific resources normally used for commissioning.

• The PROFIBUS address of the ET 200X, BM 147/CPU is set at the DIL switchon the device (see the ET 200X manual).

• The PROFIBUS address of the ET 200S, IM 151/CPU is assigned via HWConfig (see the section entitled "IM 151/CPU: Downloading the PROFIBUSaddress to the device for the first time").

Assigning Addresses in SIMATIC iMap

The IP and PROFIBUS addresses of the physical devices in the plant are assignedto the devices in the iMap project. Addresses are needed in order to give a uniqueidentification to each PROFInet device, and thus allow communication(downloading, online monitoring) between SIMATIC iMap and the devices in theplant.



Table 4-5 Assigning Addresses in SIMATIC iMap

Step Description

1 In the network view, highlight the "Coordinator" component, then select Edit >Properties....

Attention:

Make sure that the device number (e.g. WinLC PN) is the same as thestation name in the associated component wizard.

(See the section entitled "Checking your Settings")



Step Description

2 On the "Addresses" tab, enter the IP address and subnet mask of the WinLCPN. These must be the IP address and subnet mask of the PC on which theWinLC PN is running. Click on the "OK" button to confirm your input. Theaddresses are then assigned to the component.

3 In the network view, highlight the "Conveyor" component and select Edit >Properties.... On the "Addresses" tab, enter the PROFIBUS address as set onthe device using the DIL switch, and click on the "OK" button to confirm yourinput.



Step Description

4 Repeat step 3 for the "ProcessStation" and "Conveyor_1" components. All theaddresses are now assigned,

Note

You can assign any names to the devices, apart from the name of the WinLC PN,which must be identical to the station name set in the associated componentwizard.

Next Steps

Interconnecting the technological functions in the project plant view.



4.5 Step 7: Interconnecting technological functions

Requirements

• The PROFInet components must be correctly coupled to the networks.

• The component interfaces, i.e.the connector assignments and theinterconnection diagram must be known.

Rules for interconnection

• You must always connect an output to an input, but an output may beinterconnected to several inputs.

• The two connectors of an interconnection must be of the same data type, e.g.both of type I2 or type U12.

Interconnecting Technological Functions

You can interconnect technological functions in the plant view.

Table 4-6 Interconnecting Technological Functions

Step Description

1 Switch from the network view to the plant view. When the technologicalfunctions first appear in the plant view, they are overlapped.

2 Use Drag & Drop to arrange the technological functions, and thus make theplant clearer and easier to understand. To drag a function, click on its title bar.



Step Description

3 a) Click on the "StatOn" output of the coordinator and on the "On" input of theconveyor.

a) Click on the "StatOn" output of the coordinator and on the "On" input of theProcessStation. The interconnection is represented by a line. Connector pointsof the same type, e.g. BOOL, are shown in green. The selected output and thecurrently selected input are also shown in green.
