Configuration and process control phase
Introduction
You must follow the phases below in order to use an HMI device in the system:
● Configuration phase
● Process control phase
Configuration phase
The HMI device project, which includes the plant screens, is created during the configuration
phase.
The following actions are carried out as part of the configuration phase:
● Creating the project
● Accepting the project (determining the checksum)
● Testing the project
● Simulating the project
● Backing up the project
After the configuration phase, the project is transferred to the HMI device by the configuring
PC.

Process control phase
Once the project is transferred to the HMI device, the operator operates and monitors current
processes in the process control phase. The HMI device is connected to a PLC in the plant
and exchanges values with this PLC. The plant screens on the HMI devices are used to
provide a clear overview of the active processes.

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.

Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01

Overview
1.4 Transponder
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.

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.

1.6 Fail-safe operation
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.

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.

1.7 Functional scope with WinCC flexible
The diagnostics function cannot be parameterized. The diagnostics are always activated and
are automatically made available by the HMI device in STEP 7 in the event of an error.
In addition to the safety-relevant part, the diagnostics function transfers the following
diagnostics:
● Communication error
Communication between the HMI device as I/O device and the F-CPU as I/O controller
has been interrupted (for example, due to incorrect PROFIsafe address or missing WLAN
connection).

Safety instructions, standards and notes
2.8 Enabling button
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.

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.

3.6 Effective ranges and zones
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.

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.

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.

Assuming that the Mobile Panel is aligned with the effective range, fail-safe operation of the
machine is possible.
④

Rules for effective ranges
The following rules apply when defining effective ranges:
Rule
Explanation
The distance between the transponder and the System limits
HMI device must not be longer than 8m.
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.
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.
Assignment of effective range to the machine that
will be operated must be unique.
Too great a distance from the machine prevents
visual control on the part of the operator.
Transponders in different effective ranges
must be far enough away from each other that
their transmission ranges do not overlap.
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.

Planning application
3.6 Effective ranges and zones
Procedure
1. 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. Plan the transponders in the effective range in such a manner that the effective range is
covered by the radiated emission of the transponders. Also note that the effective range
is not too large so that it cannot be seen or that any other hazards occur.
4. Define:
– A name, a display name and an ID from the value range 1 to 65534 for each effective
range
– A name and a plant-unique ID for each transponder from the value range 1 to 65534
– For each effective range the maximum distance that the HMI device can have to the
transponders of this effective range. The distance must be the same for all
transponders of an effective range.
– The mounting location for an indicator, for example a light that shows that an HMI
device is logged in in the effective range.
5. On the system plan, note the display names and the IDs that you use during
commissioning.
Prior to commissioning you must affix the IDs of the effective ranges in the plant so that
they are easily legible.

Operation
WARNING
Undesirable enabling function
Only push the enabling button until the operation which you enabled has been completed.
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

● Bit coding of handwheel
– A setpoint is not specified for the handwheel.
– After start-up of the HMI device, the bytes "n+4" to "n+5" are set to zero.
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.

–
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.

Evaluation of the handwheel with system functions
Application
The handwheel is an optional operator control of the HMI device. 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.

● By touching the touch screen
The function associated to the key or button will not be executed by this.
Validity
The time until the backlighting is reduced is always the shorter time interval.
In other words,. the time interval set in the "Screensaver" dialog box applies if it is shorter
than the setting for "Power Save 1" in the project.
If a value of "0" is entered in the "Screensaver" dialog box for the reduction in backlighting,
the value set in the project will apply.
After you have selected the screen saver and reduction of the backlighting, you must restart
the HMI device. The settings become effective following a restart.
NOTICE
Reducing the brightness of the backlighting
The brightness of the backlighting decreases incrementally during its operational life. In
order to increase the operational life of the backlighting, activate the backlighting reduction.
Burn-in effect
Screen contents may occasionally leave a burn-in effect in the background if they appear
too long.
This burn-in effect will automatically disappear after a certain amount of time if the
screensaver is activated, for example. The longer the same content is displayed on the
screen, the longer it will take for the burn-in effect to disappear.
Generally, you should always activate the screen saver.
When the screen saver is active, the backlighting is reduced at the same time.
Requirements
You have opened the "Screensaver" dialog with the "ScreenSaver"
icon.

6.9 Setting the PROFIsafe address
6.9
Setting the PROFIsafe address
PROFIsafe address
Each participant in PROFIsafe communication has a unique PROFIsafe address. This
address is used to send safety message frames between the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN and
the F CPU.
Note
Assign the HMI device a PROFIsafe address that is unique within the relevant network
segment.
Validity of the PROFIsafe address
The PROFIsafe address can be parameterized at the following stages:
● In the HMI device Control Panel
● In the WinCC flexible project
The PROFIsafe address that the HMI device loads depends on the parameterization in the
Control Panel.
● If a valid PROFIsafe address has been parameterized in the Control Panel:
The HMI device loads the PROFIsafe address set in the Control Panel.
● If a valid PROFIsafe address has not been parameterized in the Control Panel:
The HMI device loads the PROFIsafe address set in the project.
Note
The invalid address 65,535 is parameterized by default in the Control Panel of the HMI
device. The HMI device loads the address set in the project.
NOTICE
No integration in PROFIsafe communication
To ensure that the HMI device can be integrated in PROFIsafe communication, the
following addresses must match:
• The PROFIsafe address configured in HW Config by STEP 7
• The PROFIsafe address set in the "PROFIsafe" dialog box
Requirements
You have opened the "PROFIsafe" dialog with the "PROFIsafe"
164
icon.
