Overview of network operation
Introduction
You connect the HMI device to a PROFINET network.
The connection to a network offers, for example, the following options:
● Printing via a network printer
● Saving, exporting and importing of recipe data records on or from a server
● Setting up of message and data archives
● Transferring a project
● Saving data
NOTICE
The HMI device can only be used in PROFINET networks.
The HMI device only has client functionality in the PC network. This means that users
can access files of a node with TCP/IP server functionality from the HMI device via the
network. However, you cannot, for example, access data on the HMI device from a PC
via the network.
Note
Information on communication using SIMATIC S7 via PROFINET is provided in the
"WinCC flexible communication" user manual.
Addressing
Within a PROFINET network, computers are usually addressed using device names. These
device names are translated from a DNS or WINS server to TCP/IP addresses.
The corresponding servers are generally available in PROFINET networks.
Note
The use of TCP/IP addresses to address PCs is not supported by the HMI device's operating
system.
So to address the HMI device using device names in a PROFINET network, you need a
DNS or WINS server.
Consult your network administrator if you have questions in this regard

Transfer
7.5.2.1
Overview
Transfer
At the end of the configuration phase, transfer the executable project from the configuring
PC to the HMI device.
You can start the "Transfer" mode manually or automatically on the HMI device.
Transferred data is written directly to the internal flash memory on the HMI device. For the
transfer, you use a data channel which you have to configure before starting a transfer.
Backtransfer
You have the option to transfer the compressed project file together with the runtime project
to the HMI device. If necessary, the compressed project file can be transferred back to the
configuring PC and edited.
The HMI device must be equipped with an external memory to which the compressed project
file can be saved.
NOTICE
No checking of the project files
WinCC flexible does not check whether the compressed project file stored on the HMI
device corresponds to the existing runtime project.

Testing a project
Introduction
There are two options to test a project:
● Test the project on the configuring PC
You can test a project at a configuring PC, using a simulator. For detailed information,
refer to the "WinCC flexible" user manual and to the WinCC flexible online help.
● Offline testing of the project on the HMI device
Offline testing means that communication between the HMI device and PLC connections,
which have been configured in WinCC flexible, is down while the test is being carried out.
The PROFIsafe connection between the HMI device and PLC is also available in "Offline"
mode.
● Online testing of the project on the HMI device
Online testing means that the HMI device and PLC communicate with each other during
testing.
Perform the tests, starting with the "Offline test", followed by the "Online test".
Note
You should always test the project on the HMI device on which the project will be used.
Check the following:
1. WLAN coverage
2. Zone recognition, if zones have been configured
3. Check the correct layout of the screens
4. Check the screen navigation
5. Check the input objects
6. Enter the tag values
The test increases the certainty that the project will run error-free on the HMI device.

Acceptance of the system
7.5.4.1
Overview
Introduction
The acceptance of the system includes the following areas:
● Configuring the F CPU and fail-safe I/O
● Safety program
● Effective ranges and transponders
Acceptance steps that you must execute in order to operate the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN
HMI device in a system with effective ranges are described in detail in these operating
instructions.
The following manuals contain more detailed notes on acceptance of the system:
● Function manual "Fail-safe operation of the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN"
● Manual "S7 distributed safety, configuring and programming", Chapter "System
acceptance test".
Acceptance of the effective ranges and transponders
For acceptance of the effective ranges and transponders you must determine a CRC
checksum in the plant and enter it in the project. After subsequent project transfer to the HMI
device you can operate the plant with the HMI device.
Note
If you change transponders in the plant you must execute another acceptance of the plant.
When executing an acceptance test of the system, all of the relevant application-specific
standards must be observed.
7.5.4.2
Accepting effective ranges and transponders
Introduction
For safe operation, the project of the HMI device must precisely match the plant.
For this reason when first starting a project in the plant, you must verify all effective ranges
with all transponders. The result of the verification is a CRC checksum that you must enter in
the project. Then you must transfer the project to the HMI device again.
Note
Transponders that are exclusively assigned to one zone are not considered in this
verification.

If you change the configuration of transponders and effective ranges in the system, then you
must adjust the configuration. Then you must accept the effective ranges and transponders
again.
Requirements
● In the project:
– Effective ranges and transponders must be configured in the project.
– The project has been transferred to the HMI device.
● In the plant:
– The transponders must be mounted in the plant in such a manner that the effective
ranges stored in the project are formed.

8.1
Organizational measures
The HMI device should only be operated in the system with a battery or in the charging
station.
To ensure fail-safe operation of the HMI device the organizational measures described
below must be complied with.
Storing the HMI device
WARNING
Non-functional emergency stop button
If the HMI device is not integrated, the emergency stop button does not function.
To avoid confusion between effective and non-effective emergency stop buttons, only one
integrated HMI device should be freely accessible.
If the HMI device is not in use, it must be stored in a locked area.
Handling the HMI device during operation
CAUTION
Shutdown or rampdown of the system due to empty battery
An integrated HMI device with flat battery triggers a communication error. This results in the
following reaction of the F CPU:
• If the HMI device is logged on at the effective range: Shutdown
• If the HMI device is not logged on at the effective range: Global rampdown
Check the charge status of the battery of the ready-for-operation device via the "BAT" LED.
• Recharge the HMI device in good time.
To charge the batteries, the ambient temperature / battery temperature must not exceed
40 °C The higher the temperature, the longer it will take for the battery to charge.
Find a place with a cool ambient temperature for the charging station. If necessary,
allow the battery to cool first. You can check the battery temperature in the "OP" dialog
box, "Battery" tab in the Control Panel.
Alternatively, change the main battery.

8.2 Switch-off behavior
The following must be noted when working with the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN:
● Pay attention to the "SAFE" LED.
If the HMI device is integrated in fail-safe communication, the "SAFE" lights up and the
emergency stop button is active.
● Pay attention to the "COM" LED.
If you leave the area with sufficient WLAN coverage, the "COM" LED will flash.
Communication between the HMI device and PLC is down. You can no longer operate
the system with the HMI device.
● Check the "RNG" LED when the HMI device is logged onto the effective range.
The "RNG" LED indicates when the HMI device is logged onto the effective range.
Logging onto the effective range is required for the enabling button to be active.
CAUTION
Unauthorized operation possible
It is not permitted to leave the effective range without an HMI device while the HMI
device is logged on to the effective range.
8.2
Switch-off behavior
Introduction
Different switch-off behavior is possible depending on the situation in the plant:
● Emergency stop
● Shutdown
● Local rampdown
● Global rampdown
Plant switch-off differs in its triggers and effects.
DANGER
No triggering of safety states
The switch-off behavior described is only triggered in the system if the F CPU has been
programmed accordingly.
Emergency stop
Press the emergency stop button to trigger the emergency stop. The emergency stop
depends on the effective ranges. If the emergency stop button is pressed, the F CPU
triggers an immediate stop of the machines assigned to it.

Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN
Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01
Fail-safe mode
8.2 Switch-off behavior
The emergency stop button is always active if there is PROFIsafe communication between
HMI device and F CPU, i.e. if the HMI device is integrated in the PROFIsafe communication.
If PROFIsafe communication is present the "SAFE" LED lights up.
Shutdown
Shutdown is triggered by the F CPU. The shutdown is specific to the effective range. If the F
CPU detects a communication error for an HMI device logged on in the effective range, it
triggers the emergency stop of the machines that belong to the effective range.
Local rampdown
Local rampdown is triggered if the HMI device is logged on at the effective range and if it
leaves the effective range for longer than 30 seconds. Local rampdown is specific to the
effective range.
Local rampdown triggers a defined slow stop of the machines of the effective range.
Global rampdown
Global rampdown is triggered by the F CPU. Global rampdown is independent of the
effective ranges.
For global rampdown the following response must be programmed in the safety program of
the F CPU: If the F CPU detects a communication error for an HMI device integrated in the
PROFIsafe communication, it triggers a defined slow stop of the machines subordinate to it.
Fact
Trigger
Switch-off behavior can be triggered by the following:
● The emergency stop button is pressed.
● A communication error occurs.
● Timeout: The HMI device is logged onto the effective range and the operator leaves the
effective range with the HMI device for longer than 30 seconds.
Triggering the switch off

Integrating the HMI device
Introduction
During fail-safe operation, a safety program runs in the F CPU. This safety program
communicates with the HMI device. The F CPU monitors the communication for errors and
evaluates the signals. The terms "integrate" and "remove" refer to integrating the HMI device
in and removing it from the safety program of the F CPU.
Integrating
If the HMI device is configured for the safety program, it is automatically integrated in the
safety program when the project is started. The "SAFE" LED lights up to indicate that
integration is complete.
The emergency stop button becomes active as soon as the HMI device is integrated.
Requirements
● WLAN communication is established.
● The Loader is displayed on the HMI device.
● Effective ranges and transponders are accepted.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. If the project does not start automatically, start it in the Loader.
PROFIsafe communication is established. While the connection is being established, the
"Establishing secure connection" dialog box is displayed. The HMI device is integrated in
the safety program of the F CPU.
The "Test enabling button" dialog box opens.
2. Fully press both enabling buttons.

8.5
Logging onto and off from the effective range
Introduction
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. As soon as you are in an effective
range with the HMI device, you can log the device onto the effective range. Fail-safe
operation of the system section delimited by the effective range is only possible after the HMI
device has been successfully logged on.
Note
Before leaving the effective range with the HMI device, you must log it off from the effective
range.
Requirements for logging on
● The HMI device is integrated. The "SAFE" LED lights up.
● The ID of the effective range is marked in the system.
● The HMI device is located within the effective range.
● No other HMI devices are logged onto this effective range.
● The "Effective range name" operating element is configured and displayed as follows:
"Rangename" indicates the name in the case of any effective range.
Procedure for logging on
1. Touch the "Effective range name" operating element.
The "Effective range logon" dialog box opens.
2. Read the ID of the effective range from the machine or system to be operated.
3. Enter the ID of the effective range.
4. Confirm your entries.

● You can use the enabling buttons to operate the machine in the effective range.
● The "Effective range name" operating element is displayed as follows:
Behavior in the effective range following successful logging on
CAUTION
Shutdown
If the HMI device is in a state where it is constantly ready for operation, the battery will lose
its charge. A flat battery will result in a communication error. The F CPU initiates a
shutdown.
Under no circumstances should the effective range be left without an HMI device while the
HMI device is logged onto the effective range.
CAUTION
Rampdown
If you leave the effective range without logging off, or the HMI device no longer recognizes
the transponder, the following steps are carried out:
• After 5 seconds, the "Effective range left without logging off" dialog box appears. If you
do not return to the effective range within 25 seconds, the HMI devices initiates a local
rampdown and begins logging off from the effective range. The HMI device is logged off
from the effective range once logging off has been confirmed. This means that other
HMI devices are free to log onto the effective range.
Return to the effective range in good time.
Always align the HMI device so that it is possible to measure the distance between the HMI
device and the transponder.
Note the displays of the HMI device LEDs; in particular, the "RNG" and "BAT" LEDs.
The HMI device will trigger the vibration alarm under the following circumstances (if
configured):
● The charging status of the battery is < 10%.
● You leave the effective range with the HMI device without logging the HMI device off from
the effective range.

"Override" mode
Introduction
The effective range functionality of the HMI device can be extended with the "Override"
mode.
"Override" mode can be used in the following cases:
● Application of existing protective measures instead of the effective range functionality
If there are already safety measurements in your system, e.g. safety gates, they can be
integrated into the safety concept with the "Override" mode.
● When sections of the system that are not covered by transponders (inside a robot cell, for
example) are to be operated with the enabling buttons.
In this case the system area must be secured by additional safety measurements, with a
safety gate for example.

9.3 Direct keys
9.3
Direct keys
Introduction
Direct keys on the HMI device are used to set bits in the I/O area of a SIMATIC S7.
Direct keys enable operations with short reaction times, that are, for example, a jog mode
requirement.
NOTICE
PLC stop
Please note that leaving the WLAN area will cause the PROFINET IO device to fail and will
therefore result in a PLC stop.
Determine suitable programming measures in the PLC, in order to prevent a PLC stop.
Please refer to your system documentation to check whether additional information on this
subject is available there.
NOTICE
Effectiveness of direct keys in offline mode
Direct keys are active when both of the following conditions are satisfied:
• The HMI device is in an area with sufficient WLAN coverage.
• The HMI device is in "Offline" mode.
NOTICE
If you operate a function key with direct key functionality in a running project, the direct key
function is always executed, independent of the current screen contents.
Direct keys
The following objects can be configured as a direct key:
● Buttons
● Function keys
● Screen numbers
● Handwheel
● Illuminated pushbutton
● Key-operated switch
Note
Direct keys result in additional basic load on the HMI device.
Additional information about direct keys is available in the system manual "WinCC flexible
communication".

9.4 Operator input options
9.4
Operator input options
Once the project is transferred to the HMI device, current processes can be operated and
monitored in the process control phase. You have the following options for operating the HMI
device:
● Touch screen
The HMI device is operated by means of the touch screen. The operating elements
shown in the dialogs are touch-sensitive. Touch objects are basically operated in the
same way as mechanical keys. You activate operating elements by touching them with
your finger. To double-click them, touch an operating element twice in succession.
CAUTION
Do not use any pointed or sharp objects when operating the touch screen. Otherwise
this may damage the plastic membrane of the touch screen.
● External input devices
The following operator controls can be connected externally:
– Keyboard, connected via USB
– Mouse, connected via USB
The use of external input devices is recommended for commissioning.
Operating a project with an external keyboard
An external keyboard can be used to operate a project in exactly the same way as with the
HMI keyboard or screen keyboard.
Note
The function keys of the external keyboard are disabled.
Use other keys on the external keyboard, which correspond to the HMI device keys.
Operating a project with an external mouse
An external mouse can be used to operate a project in exactly the same way as with the HMI
touch screen. Click the described operating elements with the mouse.

Unintentional actions
CAUTION
Do not carry out several operations simultaneously. You may otherwise trigger
unintentional actions.
• With touch control:
Always touch only one operating element on the screen
• With key operation via an external keyboard:
Do not press more than two keys simultaneously
Observing the plant documentation
Some operations with the project may require in-depth knowledge about the specific plant on
the part of the operator. Proceed with caution, for example, when you use jog mode. Please
refer to your system documentation to check whether additional information on this subject is
available there.
Operation feedback from operating elements
The HMI device provides optical feedback as soon as it detects that an operating elements
has been selected. The operating element receives the focus and is selected. This selection
is independent of any communication with the PLC. Therefore this selection does not
indicate whether the relevant action is actually executed or not.
The configuration engineer can also configure the selection of an operating element so that it
deviates from the standard. Please refer to your system documentation to check whether
additional information on this subject is available there.
Optical feedback from operating elements
The type of optical feedback depends on the operating element:
● Buttons
The HMI device outputs different views of the "Pressed" and "Unpressed" states,
provided the configuration engineer has configured a 3D effect:
– "Pressed" state:
A "Unpressed" state:

Operating a project
9.5 Function keys
The configuration engineer determines the appearance of a marked field, for example,
line width and color for the focus.
● Invisible buttons
By default, invisible buttons are not displayed as pressed when they are touched. No
optical operation feedback is provided in this case.
The configuration engineer may, however, configure invisible buttons so that their outline
appears as lines when touched. This outline remains visible until you select another
operating element.
● I/O fields
When you select an I/O field, the content of the I/O field is displayed against a colored
background. With touch operation, a screen keyboard is displayed for the entering of
values.
9.5
Function keys
Function keys
Function key assignment is defined during configuration. The configuration engineer can
assign function keys globally and locally.
Function keys with global function assignment
A globally assigned function key always triggers the same action on the HMI device or in the
PLC irrespective of the screen displayed. Such an action could be, for example, the
activation of a screen or the closure of an alarm window.
Function keys with local function assignment
A function key with local function assignment is screen-specific and is therefore only
effective within the active screen.
The function assigned locally to a function key can vary from screen to screen.
The function key of a screen can be assigned one function only, either a global or local one.
The local assignment function takes priority over the global setting.
The configuration engineer can assign function keys in such a way that you can operate
operating elements with function keys, for example, the alarm view, trend view, recipe view
or status / PLC.
Multi-key operation
Unwanted actions may be triggered, if the operator unintentionally actuates a key
combination.

CAUTION
Unintentional actions
In "Online" mode, simultaneous operation of more than two keys may cause unintentional
actions in the plant.
Do not press more than two keys simultaneously.
9.6
Setting the project language
Introduction
The HMI device supports multilingual projects. You must have configured a corresponding
operating element which lets you change the language setting on the HMI device during
runtime.
The project always starts with the language set in the previous session.
Requirements
● The required language for the project must be available on the HMI device
● The language switching function must be logically linked to a configured operating
element such as a button
Selecting a language
You can change project languages at any time. Language-specific objects are immediately
output to the screen in the new language when you switch languages.
The following options are available for switching the language:
● A configured operating element switches from one language to the next in a list
● A configured operating element directly sets the desired language
Please refer to your system documentation to check whether additional information on this

The "Zone quality" object indicates which zone this concerns.
Calculating the quality
The quality within a zone depends on the measured distance to the transponder:
● In the center of the zone the quality is 100%
● The quality decreases as you approach the limits of the zone
● On the transponder and on the border of the zone, the quality is 0%

Bar and gauge
Bar
The bar is a dynamic display object. The bar displays a value from the PLC as a rectangular
area. The bar allows you to recognize the following at a glance:
● The distance of the current value from the configured limit values
● Whether a set point value has been reached
The bar can display values such as fill levels or batch counts.
Layout
The layout of the bar depends on the configuration:
● The bar may feature a scale of values
● The configured limit values can be indicated by lines
● Color changes can signal when a limit value has been exceeded or has not been reached
Gauge
The gauge is a dynamic display object. The gauge displays numerical values in analog form
by means of a pointer. This enables an operator at the HMI device to see at a glance if the
boiler pressure is in the normal range, for example.

Project security
9.16.1
Overview
Design of the security system
The configuration engineer can protect the operation of a project by implementing a security
system.
The security system is based on authorizations, user groups and users.
If operating elements protected by a password are pressed, the HMI device first requests
that you log on. A logon screen is displayed in which you enter your user name and
password. After logging on, you can press the operating elements for which you have the
necessary authorizations.
The logon dialog can be set up by the configuration engineer via an individual operating
element.
In the same way, the configuration engineer can set up an operating element to log off. After
logging off, objects assigned password protection can no longer be operated; to do so, log
on again.
Please refer to your system documentation to check whether additional information on this
subject is available there.

Central user administration using SIMATIC Logon
Users, user groups and authorizations can be stored on a central server.
If user administration cannot contact the server, an error message is displayed. If this is the
case, you can only log on locally. Check whether additional information is available in your
plant documentation.
The operation of SIMATIC Logon differs as follows:
● The simple user display is not supported
● Users cannot be deleted
● You cannot change your logout time
● When changing the password, you must enter it twice for security reasons
● The domain name is also indicated in the "User" field
User groups and authorizations
Project-specific user groups are created by the configuration engineer. The "Administrators"
and "PLC User" groups are included in all projects by default. User groups are assigned
authorizations. Authorization required for an operation is specifically defined for each
individual object and function in the project.
Users and passwords
Each user is assigned to exactly one user group.
The following persons are allowed to create users and assign them passwords:
● The configuration engineer during configuration
● The administrator on the HMI device
● A user with user management authorization on the HMI device
Irrespective of the user group, each user is allowed to change his own password.
Logoff times
A logoff time is specified in the system for each user. If the time between any two user
actions, such as entering a value or changing screens, exceeds this logoff time, the user is
automatically logged off. The user must then log on again to continue to operate objects
assigned password protection.
Backup and restore
Note
Backup and restore is not available to central user administration with SIMATIC Logon.
The user data is encrypted and saved on the HMI device to protect it from loss due to power
failure.

Overview
Alarms
Alarms indicate events and states on the HMI device which have occurred in the system, in
the process or on the HMI device itself. A status is reported when it is received.
An alarm could trigger one of the following alarm events:
● Incoming
● Outgoing
● Acknowledge
The configuration engineer defines which alarms must be acknowledged by the user.
An alarm may contain the following information:
● Date
● Time
● Alarm text
● Location of fault
● State
● Alarm class
● Alarm number
● Alarm group
● Diagnostics capability
Alarm classes
Alarms are assigned to various alarm classes:
● Error
Alarms in this class must always be acknowledged. Error alarms normally indicate critical
errors within the plant such as "Motor temperature too high"
● Operation
Warning alarms usually indicate states of a plant such as "Motor switched on"
● System

10.2 Recognizing pending alarms
System alarms indicate states or events which occur on the HMI device
● SIMATIC diagnostic alarms
SIMATIC diagnostic alarms show states and events of the SIMATIC S7 or SIMOTION
PLCs
● User-specific alarm classes
The properties of this alarm class must be defined in the configuration
Please refer to your system documentation to check whether additional information on this
subject is available there.
Alarm groups
The configuration engineer can group alarms into alarm groups. When you acknowledge an
individual alarm of an alarm group, you acknowledge all alarms which belong to the same
alarm group.
Alarm buffer
The alarm events are stored in an internal buffer. The size of this alarm buffer depends on
the HMI device type.
Alarm report
The configuration engineer can activate alarm reporting on the project. In this case, alarm
events are output directly on the connected printer.
The configuration engineer can define whether each individual alarm is logged. An alarm of
this type is printed when the alarm events "Incoming" and "Outgoing" occur.
If you want to print alarms of the "System" alarm class, you have to print the contents of the
associated alarm buffer. For this case the configuration engineer has to configure an
operating element for printing the alarm buffer.
Alarm log
Alarm events are stored in an alarm log, provided this log file is configured. The capacity of
the log file is limited by the storage medium and system limits.
10.2
Recognizing pending alarms
You can recognize pending alarms that must be acknowledged by means of the alarm
indicator.
The alarm indicator is a graphic symbol indicating pending alarms or alarms requiring
acknowledgment, depending on the configuration. The configuration determines whether an
alarm has to be acknowledged or not. This is also defined by the alarm class which an alarm
belongs to.

Overview
Introduction
Recipes are used when different variants of a product are manufactured with the same
process. In this case, the product variants differ in terms of their type and quantity of the
components, but not in terms of the manufacturing process sequence. The configuration
engineer can store the combination of each individual product variant in a recipe.
Field of application
Recipes can be used everywhere the same product components are used in variable
combinations to create different product variants.
Examples:
● Beverage industry
● Food processing industry
● Pharmaceutical industry
● Paint industry
● Building materials industry
● Steel industry
11.2
Structure of a recipe
Recipes
The recipe collection for the production of a product family can be compared to a file cabinet.
A recipe which is used to manufacture a product corresponds to a drawer in a file cabinet.
Example:
In a plant for producing fruit juice, recipes are required for different flavors. There is a recipe,
for example, for the flavors orange, grape, apple and cherry.

Recipes in the project
Overview
If recipes are used in a project, the following components interact:
● Recipe view / recipe screen
On the HMI device, recipes are displayed and edited in the recipe view or in a recipe
screen.
– The recipe data records from the internal memory of the HMI device are displayed and
edited in the recipe view.
– The values of the recipe tags are displayed and edited in the recipe screen.
Depending on the configuration, the values displayed in the recipe view are synchronized
with the values of recipe tags.
● HMI device recipe memory
Recipes are saved in the form of data records in the HMI device recipe memory.
The recipe data can also be saved in recipe tags.
● Recipe tags
The recipe tags contain recipe data. When you edit recipes in a recipe screen, the recipe
values are stored in recipe tags. Depending on the configuration, the values of the recipe
tags are exchanged with the PLC.
The recipe tags can be synchronized with the recipe data records so that the same
values are saved in both.
● Memory card
The memory card is an external storage medium for recipe data records. The recipe data
records are exported from the HMI device recipe memory and are saved on the memory
card in a *.csv file. The records can be reimported from the memory card to the recipe
memory.

subject is available there.
11.5
Recipe values in the HMI device and the PLC
Introduction
You can change the values of a recipe on the HMI device and therefore influence the
manufacturing process or a machine.
Depending on the configuration, the recipe values are displayed, edited and saved in
different ways:
● If you are editing recipes with a recipe view in your project, the values are saved in recipe
data records
● If you are editing recipes in a recipe screen in your project, the values are saved in recipe
tags
Differences may occur between the display values in the recipe view and the values saved in
the associated tags in an ongoing project when you edit recipes with a recipe view and in a
recipe screen. To prevent this, the recipe data record values must be synchronized with the
values of the recipe tags.
You have however the option to perform synchronization operations at any time.
Synchronization only takes place if the configuration engineer has activated the respective
settings for a recipe.
Note
Recipe tags can only be synchronized in the extended recipe view.
Synchronizing recipe tags
Synchronization of the recipe tags depends on the configuration:
● Automatic synchronization:

283
Operating recipes
11.6 Operating the recipe view
The values of the recipe view are synchronized with the associated recipe tags. In this
case, changes to values in the recipe view have an immediate effect on the values of the
associated recipe tags. The values are only synchronized, when an operating element
that is outside the recipe view is operated.
● Synchronization by the user:
The values of the recipe view and the associated recipe tags are not synchronized
automatically. The configuration engineer has assigned the same function to the
button or a different operating element in the recipe view. The recipe tags and the recipe
view are only synchronized when you operate the buttons or the appropriate operating
element.
Recipe tags online / offline
The configuration engineer can configure a recipe so that changes to the values of the recipe
tags do not have an immediate effect on the current process.
Synchronization of the recipe values between the HMI device and the PLC depends on
whether the configuration engineer has selected the settings "Tags online" or the setting
"Tags offline" for a recipe.
● "Tags online":
This setting has the following effect:
– When you change recipe values in the recipe screen, these changes are applied
immediately by the PLC and immediately influence the process
– If recipe values are changed in the PLC, the changed values are displayed
immediately in the recipe screen
● "Tags offline":
With this setting, changed recipe values are not synchronized immediately between the
HMI device and the PLC
In this case, the configuration engineer must configure operating elements for transferring
the values to the PLC or reading them from the PLC in a recipe screen. The recipe values
are only synchronized between HMI device and PLC when you operate the appropriate
operating element

be changed directly in the plant. This is the case, for example, if a valve was opened further
directly at the plant than is stored in the recipe. The values of the tags on the HMI device
possibly no longer match the values in the PLC.
To synchronize the recipe values, read the values from the PLC and display them in the
recipe view.
Requirements
A screen with a simple recipe view is displayed.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. If the recipe list contains several recipes: Select the recipe which contains the desired
recipe data record.
2. Select the element list of the recipe data record to which you want to apply the values
from the PLC.
3. Open the menu.
4. Select the menu item "From PLC".
The values are read from the PLC.
5. If you want to save the displayed values in the HMI device, select the menu item "Save".
Result
The values were read from the PLC, displayed on the HMI device and saved to the selected
recipe data record.

Deviating structure
If the structure of the CSV file differs from the structure of the recipe, deviations are handled
as follows:
● Any additional values in the CSV file will be rejected
● The system applies the configured default value to the recipe data record if the CSV file
contains an insufficient number of values
● If the CSV file contains values of the wrong data type, the configured default value is set
in the recipe data record
Example:
The imported CSV file contains values that were entered as floating point numbers
However, the corresponding tag expects an integer value. In this case, the system
discards the imported value and uses the configured default

You would like to enter production data on the HMI device without interrupting the process in
the machine or plant. For this reason, the production data should not be transferred to the
PLC.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. Call the recipe view or a recipe screen.
2. Select the desired recipe data record.
3. Enter the values of the elements.
4. Save the recipe data record.
The recipe data record is saved in the internal memory of the HMI device.

Introduction
You request the production data of different workpieces from the PLC and display this data
on the screen of the HMI device for inspection. You want to correct the transferred
production data in the recipe view or the recipe screen if necessary.
Procedure
A scanner connected to the PLC reads the barcode of a workpiece. The barcode names
correspond to the names in the recipe data record. Based on the barcode name, the PLC
can read the required recipe data record. The recipe data record is displayed for inspection
on the HMI device. You can now edit and save the recipe data record. Then transfer the
edited recipe data record to the PLC again.
The following figure shows the data flow schematically.

Maintenance and care
Scope of maintenance
● Function tests
Carry out the specified tests in the periods of time prescribed for each. Otherwise, the
functionality of the HMI device is not guaranteed.
To perform the function tests, the HMI device must be switched on but not integrated.
– Press the emergency stop button at least once a year.
– Press both enabling buttons every time you start a project.
● HMI device
The HMI device is designed for maintenance-free operation. The touch screen and
keyboard overlay should nevertheless be cleaned regularly.
● Maintenance cycle of battery
We recommend that you replace the battery when it can only be charged to 50%. This is
the case after approximately 500 complete charging cycles.
A charging cycle is complete when the battery is fully charged.
Example:
The battery has a charging condition of 80%. It needs another 20% before it is fully
charged. The battery is charged. This charging process counts as one fifth of a complete
charging cycle.
● Transponder batteries
Replace the transponder batteries at least every 5 years.
Cleaning the HMI device
CAUTION
Inadvertent operation
Always switch off the HMI device before cleaning it. This will ensure that you do not trigger
unintended functions when you touch the keys.

ESD guideline
Definition of ESD
All electronic modules are equipped with large-scale integrated ICs or components. Due to
their design, these electronic elements are highly sensitive to overvoltage, and thus to any
electrostatic discharge. These electronic components are therefore specially identified as
ESDs.
Abbreviations
The following abbreviation is commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices:
● EGB – Elektrostatisch Gefährdete Bauteile/Baugruppen (Germany)
● ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device (internationally recognized term)
Labeling
ESDs are labeled with the following symbol:

Appendix
B.1 ESD guideline
Electrostatic charging
CAUTION
Electrostatic charging
ESDs may be destroyed by voltages far below the level perceived by human beings.
Voltages of this kind develop when a component or an assembly is touched by a person
who is not grounded against static electricity. Usually, it is unlikely that damage to an ESD
as a result of overvoltage is detected immediately but may become apparent only after a
longer period of operation.
Prevent electrostatic charging of your body before you touch the ESD!
Anyone who is not connected to the electrical potential of their surroundings is subjected to
electrostatic charging.
9ROWDJH
The following figure indicates the maximum electrostatic charge anyone is subjected to when
coming into contact with the materials shown. These values correspond with specifications to
IEC 801-2.

CAUTION
Observe grounding measures
When working with electrostatic sensitive devices, make sure that the person, the
workplace and the packaging are properly grounded. This helps to avoid electrostatic
charging.

Appendix
B.2 System alarms
As a rule, only touch the ESD if this is unavoidable, for example for maintenance. When you
touch modules, make sure that you do not touch the pins on the modules or the PCB tracks.
In this way, the discharged energy cannot reach and damage the sensitive devices.
Discharge electrostatic electricity from your body if you are performing measurements on an
ESD. Do so by touching grounded metallic parts.
Always use grounded measuring instruments.

PROFINET
Within the framework of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA), PROFINET represents an
enhancement of the following bus systems:
● PROFIBUS DP as well-established fieldbus
● Industrial Ethernet as the communications bus for the cell level
The experience gained from both systems has been and continues to be integrated in
PROFINET. PROFINET as an Ethernet-based automation standard from PROFIBUS
International (PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V.) defines a vendor-independent
communications and engineering model.
PROFINET IO controller
Device used to address the connected IO devices. That is: The IO controller exchanges
input and output signals with assigned field devices. The IO controller is often the controller
on which the automation program runs.
PROFINET IO device
A decentralized field device that is assigned to one of the IO controllers (e.g. remote IO,
valve terminals, frequency converters, switches)
PROFINET IO
As part of PROFINET, PROFINET IO is a communication concept that is used to implement
modular, distributed applications.
PROFINET IO allows you to create automation solutions of the type with which you are
familiar from PROFIBUS.
PROFINET IO is implemented by the PROFINET standard for automation devices on the
one hand, and on the other hand by the STEP 7 engineering tool.
This means that you have the same application view in STEP 7 regardless of whether you
configure PROFINET devices or PROFIBUS devices. Programming your user program is
essentially the same for PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS DP if you use the expanded blocks
and system status lists for PROFINET IO.
PROFIsafe
Fail-safe bus profile of PROFINET for communication between the safety program and the F
I/O in an F system.
PROFIsafe address
Every F I/O has a PROFIsafe address. The F I/O uses this address to receive safety
message frames from the F CPU or send safety message frames to the F CPU.

Project
Result of a configuration using a configuration software. The project normally contains
several screens with embedded system-specific objects, basic settings and alarms. The
project file of a project configured in WinCC flexible is saved under the file name extension
*.hmi.
You need to distinguish between a project on the configuring PC and that on an HMI device.
A project may be available in more languages on the configuring PC than can be managed
on the HMI device. The project on the configuring PC can also be set up for different HMI
devices. Only the runtime project that has been generated for the respective HMI device can
be transferred to it.
Project file
File generated from the runtime project file for use on the HMI device. The project file is
normally not transferred and remains on the configuring PC.
The file name extension of a source file is *.hmi.
Project file, compressed
Compressed format of the project file. The compressed project file can be transferred
together with the runtime project file to the respective HMI device. For this purpose,
backtransfer must be enabled in the project on the configuring PC. The compressed project
file is normally stored on an external memory card.
The file extension of a compressed file is *.pdz.
Proof-test interval
The proof-test interval is the time period after which a component must be put into fail-safe
state. That is, it is replaced by an unused component or it is proven to be completely errorfree.
Recipe
Combination of tags forming a fixed data structure. The data structure configured can be
assigned data on the HMI device and is then referred to as a record. The use of recipes
ensures that all the assigned data is transferred synchronously to the PLC during the
transfer of a record.
Runtime project file
File generated from the project file for a specific HMI device. The runtime project file is
transferred to the corresponding HMI device and used to operate and monitor plants.
The extension of a compressed file is *.pdz.
Runtime software
The runtime software is a process visualization software used to test a project on a
configuring PC.

Safe state
State of a unit in which safety is assured. In other words, the risk is acceptably low because
it has been established that safety-related malfunctions do not occur or because of the
safety measures taken to prevent possible safety-related malfunctions.
The basic principle of the safety concept in a fail-safe system is the existence of a safe state
for all process variables.
Safety function
Safety function is a mechanism integrated in fail-safe I/Os and CPUs, enabling them to be
used in fail-safe systems. In accordance with IEC 61508: A safety function is implemented
by a safety system to ensure that the system is kept in a safe state or brought into a safe
state in the event of a particular fault. (user safety function)
Safety integrity level
Safety integrity level (SIL) in accordance with IEC 61508 and prEN 50129. The higher the
safety integrity level, the more comprehensive are the measures to avoid systematic errors
and control systematic errors and random hardware failures.
Safety mode
Operating mode of the HMI device in which safety-related communication can be performed
via safety message frames.
Safety-related communication
Communication used to exchange fail-safe data.
Screen
Form of the visualization of all logically related process data for a plant. The visualization of
the process data can be supported by graphic objects.
Screen object
Configured object used to display or operate the plant, for example a rectangle, I/O field or
alarm view.
STEP 7
STEP 7 is the programming software for SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC C7 and SIMATIC WinAC
PLCs.
Symbolic I/O field
A symbolic I/O field is a field for the input and output of the value. Contains a list of default
entries from which one can be selected.

System alarm
A system alarm is assigned to the "System" alarm class. A system alarm refers to internal
states on the HMI device and the PLC.
Tab sequence
During configuration, this defines the sequence in which objects are activated on pressing
the  key.
Tag
Defined memory location to which values can be written to and read from. This can be done
from the PLC or the HMI device. Based on whether the tag is interconnected with the PLC or
not, we distinguish between "external" tags (process tags) and "internal" tags.
Transfer
Transfer of a runtime project from the configuring PC to the HMI device.
Transponder
A transponder is a – usually wireless – communications, display or control device that
receives incoming signals and automatically responds to them. The term transponder is
derived from transmitter and responder. Transponders can be passive or active.
Zone
A zone is a defined area in the system. The HMI device recognizes the zone it is in. When
entering and leaving the zone, the HMI device can display a specific system image. This
allows zone-specific operator inputs to be disabled or enabled.
