1. Set the address area for the process image in the "Addresses" tab.

The process image is a memory area in the controller which the HMI device and

controller access together. At the beginning of the cyclic control program the signal states

of the inputs of the HMI device are transferred to the controller via the process input

images, PII. At the end of the cyclic program the process image of the outputs, PIQ is

transferred as a signal state to the HMI device.

Parameter Meaning

Input > Address > Start of

Address Area

Start address of the inputs in the process image. The safety-

relevant user data of the HMI device is shown.

The allocation depends on the controller used.

Input > process image Process image to which the address range of the inputs

This parameter cannot be changed for SIMATIC CPU 300 type

controllers.

2. In the "PROFIsafe" tab, set the "F_Dest_Add" and "F_WD_Time" parameters.

Parameter Meaning

F_Dest_Add PROFIsafe address used to uniquely identify the destination

throughout the network and station.

The address is assigned automatically. The "F_Dest_Add"

parameter can have a value between 1 and 65534.

F_WD_Time (ms) Monitoring time in the fail-safe IO device.

A valid current safety frame must reach the F-CPU and be

returned to the HMI device within the monitoring time period.

This ensures that failures and errors are detected and

appropriate responses are triggered to keep the fail-safe

system in a safe state or transfer it to a safe state.

You should select a monitoring time long enough for message

frame delays to be tolerated by the communication system, but

short enough for the fault reaction function to respond quickly

enough in the event of a fault (for example interruption of the

communication connection).

You can set the "F_WD_Time" parameter in 1 ms increments.

The monitoring period is set at 500 ms. Calculate the minimum

watchdog time using the table "s7fcotia.xls"

7.3.3 "SIMATIC S7 Distributed Safety" add-on

During fail-safe operation, a safety program runs in the F-CPU. The HMI device is integrated

into this safety program.

The HMI device and F-CPU communicate via PROFINET IO. PROFIsafe as of V2.0 is

required for safety-related communication.

The HMI device has the following safety features:

● Detects the signal states of the EMERGENCY STOP button and enabling button

● Sends the signal states to the F-CPU in the form of safety message frames

Safety program and fail-safe blocks

For fail-safe operation of the HMI device, you need to configure a safety program in STEP 7

with the "SIMATIC S7 Distributed Safety" add-on package as of V5.4 SP3. To guarantee

availability of the safety functions, the fail-safe function blocks (F-FBs) from the

"MP277F_IWLAN" library must be integrated in the safety program.

If you do not use the F-FBs, the HMI device cannot be integrated in the safety program of

the F-CPU. The project on the HMI device will not start.

You can find the F-FBs on the data medium included in the product package or at the

Internet customer portal

Safety program

WARNING

EMERGENCY STOP button

The EMERGENCY STOP button is evaluated when an F_FB_RNG_n is called in the safety

program.

Configure the safety program so that an F_FB_RNG_n is always called. The same applies if

there is no effective range in your plant.

Restarting the plant

Once the EMERGENCY STOP button has been triggered, the plant can only be restarted

after operator acknowledgment.

Use FB215 F_ESTOP1 in the safety program to ensure acknowledgment by the operator.

EMERGENCY STOP button evaluation delayed

If the cycle time for OB35 is set lower than the PNIO update time, the message frame may

be lost and the evaluation of the "E-STOP" output of F_FB_RNG_n may be delayed.

Set the cycle time of OB35 to a value higher than the PNIO update time.

EMERGENCY STOP button not enabled

If a communication error triggers a global rampdown, the EMERGENCY STOP button will

no longer be available on the affected HMI device.

You have the option of interconnecting the "Global Rampdown" signal so that an

EMERGENCY STOP is triggered.

Unintentional restart of the plant

The plant may not be automatically restarted after a communication error on the HMI

device is acknowledged.

Therefore, ensure that your safety program requires an additional operator action before

the plant can be restarted.

CAUTION

Safe operating state

A safe state, such as a global rampdown, can only be evaluated if you call an

F_FB_RNG_n in the safety program.

Call an F_FB_RNG_n in your safety program, even if an effective range is not used in the

plant.

Call sequence for the F_FBs

The F_FBs used are called cyclically in the safety program. Configure the calls of the F_FBs

in the safety program in the following order:

1. All F_FB_MP

2. All F_FB_RNG_n

Creating an I/O DB

An F-I/O DB is automatically generated in HW Config for every F-I/O.

WARNING

EMERGENCY STOP button

If you change the parameters for the output PASS_ON = 0, then the EMERGENCY STOP

will not be evaluated.

Keep the parameter for the output PASS_ON = 0 in F-I/O DB of the HMI device.

Access to and working with the F-I/O DB are described in detail in the manual "SIMATIC S7

Distributed Safety – Configuring and Programming", "F-I/O Access" section.

7.3.6 F_FB_MP

This description applies to version 1.0 of F_FB_MP.

Note

Insert the FC176 F_BO_W and FC177 F_W_BO blocks into your safety program because

they are called by F_FB_MP. You can find these blocks in the "F-Application Blocks"

container of the "Distributed Safety" F-library.

Purpose

The assigned HMI device is monitored by F_FB_MP. An F_FB_MP must be used for each

HMI device.

F_FB_MP performs the following tasks:

● The block integrates the HMI device in the safety program of the F-CPU after startup.

● The block removes the HMI device from the safety program after a communication error.

As soon as the communication error has been corrected and the operator has

acknowledged this step, the block will integrate the HMI device back into the safety

program.

● The block passes the states of the HMI device through F_DB_STATES to F_FB_RNG_n.

The following HMI device states are possible:

– Integrated

– Removed

– Communication error

– Acknowledgement required

The QBAD output monitors the F-I/O for integrating and removing the HMI device.

8.5 Commissioning an RFID tag

Commissioning

If you have transferred a project with configured effective ranges and RFID tags to the HMI

device and start the HMI device for the first time, the HMI device goes into commissioning

mode. In the commissioning mode, you assign a unique ID to each RFID tag in the plant.

Once IDs are assigned to all RFID tags, you can determine the CRC checksum, which must

be entered in the project. Finally, the verified project must then be transferred back to the

HMI device.

Recommissioning

If the mapping between effective ranges and RFID tag changes in the project, you need to

commission the RFID tags again.

NOTICE

Repeated acceptance of the plant

The RFID tags installed in the plant may not be replaced or locally changed without

performing an acceptance procedure.

If a replacement or change is made, the plant needs to once again go through acceptance,

as described in the section "Acceptance of the plant (Page 241)".

9.4 RFID tag system

9.4.1 Commissioning an RFID tag

Commissioning

If you have transferred a project with configured effective ranges and RFID tags to the HMI

device and start the HMI device for the first time, the HMI device goes into commissioning

mode. In the commissioning mode, you assign a unique ID to each RFID tag in the plant.

Once IDs are assigned to all RFID tags, you can determine the CRC checksum, which must

be entered in the project. Finally, the verified project must then be transferred back to the

HMI device.

Recommissioning

If the mapping between effective ranges and RFID tag changes in the project, you need to

commission the RFID tags again.

NOTICE

Repeated acceptance of the plant

The RFID tags installed in the plant may not be replaced or locally changed without

performing an acceptance procedure.

If a replacement or change is made, the plant needs to once again go through acceptance,

as described in the section "Acceptance of the plant (Page 241)".

Requirement

A project with configured effective ranges and RFID tags has been transferred to the HMI

device. The project starts immediately after transfer. The following dialog is displayed.

The dialog shows the configured effective ranges and RFID tags with their assigned IDs in

the project.

Procedure

To recommission the RFID tags, proceed as follows:

1. Select an effective range in the "Effective range" list.

The "Tag" list shows the RFID tags that are assigned to this effective range in the WinCC

flexible project. The "Effective range" box shows the configured ID of the selected

effective range.

2. In the "Tag" list, select the RFID tag to which you want to assign an ID.

The "Tag" box shows the configured ID of the selected RFID tag.

3. Bring the HMI device into the immediate proximity of the RFID tag, in other words, into

the effective range of the RFID tag to which you want to assign the ID shown in the "Tag"

box.

4. Press "Save ID".

The ID is sent to the RFID tag and stored there. A check mark is set in the "Tag" list, if the

configured tag ID is successfully written to the RFID tag.

NOTICE

Recording the ID of the RFID tag

If you replace the RFID tag at a later date due to a defect, for example, you will always

need the ID of the RFID tag.

Therefore, record the ID of the RFID tag so that it is at hand at all times. For example,

write it on the front of the RFID tag using a permanent marker.

5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all RDIF tags of this effective range.

NOTICE

Only describe RFID-tag once

It is not possible to describe an RFID tag multiple times. No inspection occurs to see if

an RFID tag was already described.

If you accidentally try to describe an RFID multiple times with one ID, then you will not

receive a response from the system and you have to execute the commissioning again.

Make sure that you describe an RFID tag only once with an ID.

When all the RFID tags of an effective range have an ID, the selected effective range has

a check mark in the "Effective range" list.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for all effective ranges.

The "Calculate" button is gray and only becomes black again, and thus enabled, when all

RFID tags have successfully been assigned an ID.

7. Press "Calculate".

The CRC checksum is displayed.

8. Record the checksum or enter it immediately in "Effective ranges (RIFD)" in the

WinCC flexible editor.

9. Click "Exit" to close the dialog.

Result

You have assigned a unique identifier to all RFID tags and determined a checksum.

Transfer the project with the added CRC checksum again to the HMI device. You can log

onto a machine and operate the machine in fail-safe mode.

9.4.2 Replacing an RFID tag

If it is not possible to log onto an effective range, the HMI device or RFID tag may be

defective. This section describes the configuration work carried out after replacement of a

defective RFID tag.

Requirement

● The defective RFID tag has been replaced.

● The ID of the defective RFID tag is available.

● The project, in which the RFID tag has failed, is still on the HMI device.

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

1. Switch on the HMI device.

2. Open the Control Panel.
