Overview 1.4 Transponder Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 25 The following figure shows an example of a system structure with the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN. 6(76352),1(70RELOH3DQHO),:/$16&$/$1&($FFHVV3RLQW6,0$7,&6)31'3DV352),1(7,2FRQWUROOHU)DLOVDIH,2DV352),1(7,2GHYLFH In the depicted configuration, each PROFINET IO device communicates with just one PROFINET IO controller. In this example, the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN communicates exclusively with the F-CPU as the F-PROFINET IO controller. See also Operating a project (Page 231) Preparing and backing up a project (Page 189) 1.4 Transponder Forming effective ranges and zones with transponders Transponders form effective ranges and zones. Effective ranges and zones are defined by the maximum distance from one or more transponders. Effective ranges You can define effective ranges in your system. An effective range is the range in which sections of the system, for example a machine, can be operated with the enabling buttons of the HMI device.
Overview 1.4 Transponder Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 26 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 Zones You can divide your system into zones. A zone is a physical range for operator control and monitoring which is registered by the HMI device. Depending on the project design, the HMI device displays zone-specific process displays and allows image objects to be operated in a zone-dependent manner. Determining the current effective range and current zone The assignment of transponders to effective ranges and zones is predefined in the project. Each transponder has a unique ID. The transmitting range of the transponder approximates to a lobe shape with a range of approximately 8 m. Distances are measured as follows: ● The HMI device sends signals in the current project ● The transponder responds to the signal from the HMI device and sends its ID to the HMI device ● The HMI device evaluates the ID and only measures the distance between it and the configured transponder(s) Thus the HMI device determines which effective range/zone it is currently in. Installation and connection You must install the transponders in the system such that the effective ranges and zones are covered by the transmitting ranges of the relevant transponders. The transponders are battery-operated. System without effective ranges and zones You can also operate the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN in a system without effective ranges and zones. In this case, no transponders are required in the system. Accessory kit The accessories pack is supplied with the transponder. The accessories pack for the transponder contains the following: ● 3 AA mignon batteries, 1.5 V Additional documents may be enclosed with the accessory kit. See also Distance measurement between HMI device and transponder (Page 61) Setting transponder ID and inserting the battery (Page 66) Effective ranges and zones (Page 58) Radiation characteristic of the transponder (Page 314)
Overview 1.5 Ranges in the plant Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 27 1.5 Ranges in the plant WLAN range The WLAN range is the range in the plant where the HMI device communicates with other communication nodes over a wireless local area network. 352),VDIH ① Access point is the network transition from WLAN to LAN ② WLAN range in which communication with the access point is possible ③ Mobile panel in the WLAN range; the emergency stop button is active, the enabling buttons are without function. When the PROFIsafe communication between the controller and operator panel is established in the WLAN range, the emergency stop button on the HMI device becomes active. Effective range An effective range is the range in which sections of the system, for example a machine, can be operated with the enabling buttons of the HMI device. A requirement for fail-safe operation is that the HMI device is logged onto an effective range within the WLAN range.
Overview 1.6 Fail-safe operation Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 28 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 Zones In addition to the effective ranges you can define zones in your system. The zones are not relevant for fail-safe operation. They are used merely to control the project depending on the location of the operator. For example a picture change can be configured for zone entry or zone exit. Zones and effective range are independent of each other. See also Division of the system into effective ranges and zones (Page 58) 1.6 Fail-safe operation Configuration tools and add-on packages For fail-safe operation of the HMI device, the following software is required: ● STEP 7 V5.4 as of SP2 ● SIMATIC S7 Distributed Safety as of V5.4 SP3 ● WinCC flexible 2007 Fail-safe automation system Fail-safe automation system (F systems) are used in plants requiring higher levels of safety. F systems control processes in such a way that a safe state is achieved in every situation. An immediate shutdown therefore does not pose a danger to people or the environment. Fail-safe application of the HMI device The Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN is a PROFINET IO device on Industrial Ethernet. During fail-safe operation, the HMI device registers the signal states of the emergency stop button and enabling button, and transmits corresponding safety message frames to the CPU. The CPU and HMI device communicate with each other via the PROFIsafe fail-safe protocol. The HMI device can operate in fail-safe mode conforming to SIL3/Ple/Cat. 4 if the safety functions are appropriately configured in STEP 7 with the "S7 Distributed Safety" option package. To guarantee availability of the safety functions, particular fail-safe function blocks (F-FBs) must be used in the safety program. The F-FBs are supplied on a CD together with the HMI device. Diagnostics function of the HMI device HMI device diagnostics conforming to PROFINET IO standard IEC 61784-1:2002 Ed1 CP 3/3 are available for the standard application.

See also Emergency stop button (Page 100) 2.8 Enabling button Introduction The enabling device consists of the two enabling buttons mounted on both sides of the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN. Numerically controlled machines and systems are equipped with the operating modes "Automatic mode" and "Special mode".
Safety instructions, standards and notes 2.8 Enabling button Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 45 Safety is ensured in automatic mode by means of closed, isolating protective devices and/or with functional non-isolating protective devices that block access. In special mode, safety has to be ensured in a different manner than in automatic mode. In special mode, the danger zones of the machine or system are entered, where controlled movements have to be possible. Special mode A reduced speed on the machine or in the system has to be specified for special mode based on the risk assessment. Movement of the machine should only be possible when the enabling device is activated. The operator must have the necessary qualifications and be acquainted with the details of the intended application. Safety instructions The safety-related aspects of the velocity reduction control and those for the enabling device are designed in such a way that they satisfy the EN 954-1 safety category determined by the risk analysis. The operating principles of enabling devices are described in EN 60204. Through the findings from accident investigations and the existence of technical solutions, the 3-stage enabling button became state of the art. Positions 1 and 3 of the enabling button are Off functions. Only the middle position allows the enabling function. EN 60204-1:1997 is identical to IEC 60204-1, whereby the 3-stage enabling button is gaining international importance. The Stop category of the enabling device must be selected on the basis of a risk assessment and correspond to a Category 0 or 1 Stop. WARNING Injury or material damage Enabling buttons should only be used when the following applies for the person activating the enabling button: • The person can see the danger zone. • The person is capable of recognizing personal injury hazards in good time. • The person is capable of taking immediate measures to avoid danger. The only person allowed to remain in the danger zone is the person who is activating the enabling button. Commands for unsafe conditions are not permitted to be issued with one enabling button alone. For this purpose, a secondary, intentional start command by means of a button on the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN is required. If you leave the effective range only briefly for a time period of up to 30 seconds while the enabling button is pressed, the following occurs: 5 seconds after the effective range is left, the enabling function is revoked. If you enter the effective range again within 30 seconds, the enabling button must be released and pressed again in order to reactivate enabling.
Safety instructions, standards and notes 2.9 Electromagnetic compatibility Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 46 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 Note Enabling button not effective The enabling button is only effective if the HMI device is logged onto the effective range and the "RNG" LED on the HMI device lights up. If the operator leaves the effective range, the enabling button is deactivated after 5 seconds. After 30 seconds the "Effective range exited without logoff" dialog box opens. The LED "RNG" only goes out when the operator has confirmed this dialog box. Risk from improper use To avoid the danger of unauthorized use of the enabling button due to impermissible hold-down, on each project start the enabling button must be pressed all the way down, and then released. 2.9 Electromagnetic compatibility Introduction The HMI device, the charging station, the transponder, and the power supply satisfy, among other things, the requirements of the EMC laws pertaining to the European domestic market.

See also Description of interfaces on the HMI device (Page 313) 3.6 Effective ranges and zones 3.6.1 Division of the system into effective ranges and zones Effective ranges Safety-related operator inputs are only possible in a limited area upstream of a machine or system. This is known as the effective range. The effective range assumes that the operator has a clear view the machine without any obstructions. To perform safety-related operator inputs, the operator must log the HMI device onto the effective range. Note You can also operate the HMI device without any effective ranges being defined in the system. Note Zones and effective ranges are completely independent of each other. Rules for effective ranges A maximum for 127 effective ranges can be defined for each project. An effective range requires at least one transponder. An effective range can be formed by a maximum of 127 transponders. Effective ranges must not overlap. An effective range is defined by the maximum distance of the HMI device from one or more transponders. The same maximum distance applies to all transponders in an effective range. The assignment of transponders to effective ranges is predefined in the project. Example The following figure shows an example with three effective ranges.

Zones The system can be divided into different zones. A zone might be where part of a particular industrial process is carried out, for example assembly of parts. Zone-specific process displays and possible operations can be configured in the project. Note You can also operate the HMI device without any zones being defined in the system. Rules governing zones A maximum of 254 zones is possible. A zone requires at least one transponder. A zone can be formed by a maximum of 255 transponders. Zones must not overlap.
Planning application 3.6 Effective ranges and zones Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 60 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 A zone is defined by the maximum distance of the HMI device from one or more transponders. The same maximum distance applies to all transponders in a zone. The assignment of transponders to zones is defined in the project. Example The figure below shows an example with two zones:  ① Zone 1, formed by 2 transponders ② Zone 2, formed by 1 transponder Transponder Each transponder has a unique ID. The transmitting range of the transponder approximates to a lobe shape with a range of approximately 8 m. The ID is set directly on the transponder. The set ID must match the project parameterization. Distances are measured as follows: ● The HMI device sends signals in the current project ● The transponder responds to the signal from the HMI device and sends its ID to the HMI device ● The HMI device measures the distance between it and the transponder(s). Thus the HMI device determines which effective range/zone it is currently in. Rules governing transponders The following rules apply to assigning transponders: ● A transponder can only be assigned to one zone. ● A transponder can only be assigned to one effective range. ● A transponder can be assigned to a zone and an effective range simultaneously.

More information can be found in chapter Radiation characteristic (Page 314) . Distance measurement between the HMI device and the transponder is only possible if both devices are within the other's receiving area. The table below shows when distance measurement is feasible. In the figures, the HMI device is shown as a circle and the transponder as a square.

Planning application 3.6 Effective ranges and zones Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 62 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 Aligning the HMI device to the transponder You must align the HMI device to the transponder to enable them to recognize one another. The further away the HMI device is from the transponder, the more accurately it and, therefore, the antennae's main direction of radiation, must be aligned to the transponder. It is only permissible to turn the HMI device very slightly. The closer the HMI device is to the transponder, the further you can turn the HMI device away from the transponder. At a distance of 8 m, the permissible angle of deviation is about 20°. At a distance of 4 m, the permissible angle of deviation is about 110 °. The figure below shows an example of the possible angle of rotation in relation to the distance from the transponder. See also Transponder (Page 25) 3.6.3 Planning effective ranges Effective range and transponder An effective range is formed physically by transponders. Transponders must be mounted in the perimeter around the machine in such a manner that the planned effective range is covered by the transmitting range of the transponders assigned to it. Example:
Planning application 3.6 Effective ranges and zones Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 63     ① Machine that will be operated from within the effective range ② Transponder with transmitting range in the form of a lobe ③ Planned effective range; Assuming that the Mobile Panel is aligned with the effective range, fail-safe operation of the machine is possible. ④ Actual effective range, safe operation is still possible from here. Rules for effective ranges The following rules apply when defining effective ranges: Rule Explanation The distance between the transponder and the HMI device must not be longer than 8m. System limits The effective range must be sized in such a way that it can be fully seen by the operator. Too great or an unclear effective range prevents visual control on the part of the operator. The distance between the machine to be operated and the operator must be sized depending on the machine. Insufficient distance from the machine increases the injury hazard for the user. Too great a distance from the machine prevents visual control on the part of the operator. Machine, transponder and operator position must be aligned with each other. The HMI device must be able to measure the distance to the transponder during operation. To do this, you have to align the HMI device with the transponder. The operator must be able to see the the machine at the same time. Effective ranges should not overlap. Consequently you should only assign each transponder to a single effective range. Transponders in different effective ranges must be far enough away from each other that their transmission ranges do not overlap. Assignment of effective range to the machine that will be operated must be unique. You can set up a maximum of 127 effective ranges in a project. System limits A maximum of 127 transponders can be assigned to one effective range. System limits

On the system plan specify which parts of the system will be operated with the enabling buttons. You require effective ranges for these areas of the system. 2. Specify the spatial expansion of the individual effective ranges. The operator must be located within the limits of the respective effective range in order to operate the corresponding plant unit with the enabling buttons. Comply with the rules for the definition of effective ranges. Take special note that the effective range is not too large so that it cannot be seen or that any other hazards occur. 3.

However the emergency stop button is extensively protected against damage. Operation The operator triggers the emergency stop by pressing the emergency stop button. The emergency stop button engages in the emergency stop position. Releasing the emergency stop button WARNING If you have activated the emergency stop button and thereby brought the configured system to a standstill, the emergency stop button should only be released under the following conditions: • The reasons for the emergency stop have been eliminated. • A safe restart is possible. • The restart should not be executed by releasing the emergency stop button. The operator must strictly ensure that he executes a separate operator action to commence the restart. The safety program must ensure that release of the emergency stop button alone does not trigger an automatic restart of the system. In order to release the emergency stop button, turn it in a clockwise direction. The emergency stop button then returns on its own to the initial position. NOTICE The emergency stop button can be triggered unintentionally The emergency stop button is evaluated under the following conditions: • The Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN is integrated in the safety program of the F CPU. The emergency stop button can be triggered unintentionally in the following cases, and bring the configured system to a standstill: • If the HMI device falls down • When opening one of the coverings on the rear of the HMI device WARNING Non-functional emergency stop button The emergency stop button is only effective if the HMI device is in the charging station or if is operated with the battery.

The enabling function is an intentional operator action. It is not permissible to constantly hold the enabling button or lock it otherwise. If you leave the effective range only briefly for a time period of up to 30 seconds while the enabling button is pressed, the following occurs: 5 seconds after you have left the effective range, the enabling function is revoked. If you return to the effective range within 30 seconds with the enabling button still pressed, the enabling function is automatically returned. The enabling button has three switch settings: ● Neutral position: The enabling button is not pressed. ● Enable: The enabling button is pressed to a mid position. This switch setting is used to allow another command, for example an input with the membrane keyboard. ● Panic: The switch setting "Panic" is achieved as soon as one of the enabling buttons have been pressed. The switch setting of the other enabling button is irrelevant in this case. The switch setting "Panic" has the same effect as releasing the enabling button, namely revoking the enable. You only have to activate one enabling button. The PLC receives the same signal regardless of whether only one or both enabling buttons of the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN having been pushed. Note The enabling button and the membrane keyboard can be operated at the same time. When using the enabling button the following F-FBs must be linked in the safety program of the F CPU: ● F_FB_MP ● F_FB_RNG_n Switch settings The following figure shows the switching sequence for enable.

Rotation of the handwheel produces positive or negative pulses depending on the rotation direction. The number of positive pulses are stored in bits I0 to I7. The number of negative pulses are stored in bits D0 to D7. The values are entered in binary format, where bit 0 is the lowest and bit 7 is the highest valued bit. A complete handwheel revolution yields 50 pulses. – Every pulse of the handwheel is added to byte "n+4" or "n+5" depending on the direction of rotation. There are no negative values. When the possible value range is exceeded, there is an overflow: If a value of 255 is increased by one pulse, a value of 0 results. Example of bit coding for handwheel The following table includes an example for rotation direction determination. The pulses are stored in bytes "n+4" and "n+5" and are measured during the points in time t1 to t4. The numbers in the following table represent a byte in the PLC. Handwheel Evaluation time Pulses, forwards Pulses, backwards Evaluation t1 255 (≙ -1) 245 (≙ -11) -- t2 10 245 (≙ -11) Pulses, forwards: 11 Pulses, backwards: 0 Resulting value: +11 t3 10 4 Pulses, forwards: 0 Pulses, backwards: 15 Resulting value: -15 t4 15 5 Pulses, forwards: 5 Pulses, backwards: 1 Resulting value: +4 The difference in pulses at times tn and tn+1 allows you to determine the resulting value and thus the direction of rotation. Establish the following values:
Operator controls and displays 5.5 Operator controls Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 110 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 ● Number of pulses, forwards – At time tn – At time tn+1 ● Number of pulses, backwards – At time tn – At time tn+1 From this, you determine the resulting value. This is calculated as: Pulses, forwards, tn+1 – Pulses, forwards, tn – Pulses, backwards, tn+1 + Pulses, backwards, tn = Resulting value Reaction time The bytes "n+4" and "n+5" must be retrieved on the PLC side within a second and cyclically. This ensures that no more than 256 pulses can be added between two scans of the handwheel. For 256 pulses, approximately 4.5 revolutions of the handwheel are required. The rotary pulse encoder supplies a maximum of 200 pulses per second. NOTICE Sample cycle time The input pulses should take effect immediately on the PLC and cause a response in the system. Set a scan cycle ≤ 100 ms in the PLC in order to achieve this. See also Direct keys (Page 234) 5.5.4.3 Activation of function key LEDs using system functions Application LEDs are integrated in the HMI device's function keys F1 to F18.

You can enter incremental values in a running project with the handwheel. Note Do not configure limit values in WinCC flexible for tags assigned to the handwheel. Evaluation of the incremental values If the signals of the handwheel are assigned to a WinCC flexible tag, then the forward and backward increments will be set off against each other. The absolute value of the increments is given. The maximum or minimum value of the increments until an overflow depends on the type of tags assigned. A complete handwheel revolution yields 50 pulses. The rotary pulse encoder supplies a maximum of 200 pulses per second. Example ● The handwheel has a starting value of 120 increments. ● You rotate the wheel 10 increments forwards and 3 increments backwards. This results in a new value of 127 increments.
