Diagnostics
Use the diagnostics function to determine the following:
● Does signal acquisition function without errors on the HMI device?
● Does the safety-related module of the HMI device work properly?
Diagnostic function of the HMI device in STEP 7
The HMI device provides diagnostics conforming to PROFINET IO standard IEC 61784-1,
Ed1, CP 3/3 for standard application.
The diagnostics function cannot be parameterized. The diagnostics are always enabled and
information is provided automatically by the HMI device in STEP 7 in the event of an error.
The diagnostic function also passes the "Communication error" message, if at all possible,
for the safety-related component.
The communication between the HMI device as an input and output device, and the F-CPU
and IO controller is disrupted. This situation can be caused, for example, by an incorrect
PROFIsafe address or the lack of a wireless network.
Reading diagnostics information
Open the module diagnostics in STEP 7 to determine the cause of the error. For additional
information, refer to the online help for STEP 7.
You also have the option of reading the diagnostic information using SFB 52 or SFB 54 in
the standard user program. For additional information, refer to the "System and Standard
Functions" reference manual.

Determine the current effective range and current zone
The determination of the current effective range and the current zone occurs through a
distance verification between the HMI device and the transponder. The distance verification
requires that both devices are located in the wireless range of the other and the HMI device
is logged onto the project.
The result of the distance verification is evaluated in the HMI device and displayed with the
"effective range quality" object within the project.
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 must be
aligned to the transponder. The moving of the HMI device is only possible in a small angle.
The closer the HMI device is to the transponder, the greater the moving angle can be.
The figure below shows an example of the possible angle of movement in relation to the
distance from the transponder.

The current effective range or the current zone is determined as follows:
● The HMI device transmits with a running project.
● If a transponder recognizes the wireless range of an HMI device, the transponder ID will
be sent to the HMI device.
● The HMI device evaluates the ID and signal strength.
Through this, the HMI device determines the current effective range and its quality.

Behavior in the effective range following successful logging on
CAUTION
Local rampdown possible
If you leave the effective range without logging off, or the HMI device no longer recognizes
the transponder, the dialog will be displayed after 5 s: "Effective range left without logging
off". 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. After confirming the logoff,
the HMI device will be removed. The effective range is open for logging on for other HMI
devices.
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.
Shutdown possible
If the HMI device is in a state where it is constantly ready for operation, the main
rechargeable battery will lose its charge. A discharged main rechargeable battery causes
communication failure. The F CPU initiates a shutdown.
Never leave the effective range without the HMI device, as long as the HMI device is
logged on in the effective range. If you do not need the HMI device:
 Log the HMI device off from the effective range.
 Turn off the HMI device or place it in the charging station.
Note the displays of the HMI device LEDs; in particular, the "RNG" and "BAT" LEDs.

Activating and deactivating "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:
● If a protection zone is available instead of an effective range.
An existing safety system from your system, for example, a protective gate, can be
integrated into the safety system for the "override" mode.
● If parts should be operated with enabling buttons, which are not in the wireless range of a
transponder.
This cannot occur within a robot cell. In this case, a protection zone must be set up.
WARNING
"Override" mode
If the "override" mode is used outside of a protection zone, this may result in death.
Only use the "Override" mode in a protection zone, which excludes access for
unauthorized individuals.

Note
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. Refer to
your plant documentation for additional information.
Requirement
In order to switch on the HMI device and start the project, the following requirements must
be met:
● The main rechargeable battery is charged and inserted in the HMI device.
If a main battery is not available, place the HMI device into the charging station.
● The project has been transferred to the HMI device.
● The radio signal from the WLAN is sufficiently strong.
● If effective ranges are configured in the project, you will need to perform an acceptance
test when the project is started for the first time. See section "Commissioning the plant
(Page 241)".
● SSIDs for up to 3 WLAN networks can be stored in the project.
The SSIDs stored in the project must be set in the HMI device. If one of the 3 WLAN
networks is available when the HMI device is started, the HMI device connects
automatically.

Operating a project
11.1 Starting the project
Proceed as follows:
1. Press the "ON/OFF" button.
The HMI device performs the following tasks:
– The HMI device starts.
– The "PWR" LED lights up.
– The "BAT" LED shows the remaining charge of the main rechargeable battery.
– The WLAN connection is established.
– The WLAN connection is established as follows:
The "COM" LED will flash as long as the WLAN connection is established. The
configured sequence of SSIDs determines the order in which the HMI device will
attempt to connect to the WLAN networks.
If the HMI device cannot establish a connection with any of the 3 configured WLAN
networks, the HMI device will attempt to connect to other WLAN networks.
For this to happen, connection to other WLAN networks must be authorized in the
project.
Once the HMI device has established the WLAN connection, the "COM" LED lights
up.
The HMI device is integrated.
If the HMI device is unable to establish a connection to a WLAN network, "Not
Connected" is displayed in the status line of the dialog box.
The project cannot be started. Contact the network administrator.
2. Applies to the initial project start:
Perform the acceptance test of the plant.
3. Start the project.
The following is performed at the start:
– The HMI device is integrated.
– The emergency stop button becomes active.
– The HMI device displays the start screen of the project.

Introduction
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. More
detailed information is available in your plant documentation.
CAUTION
Unintentional action
If you press several operator controls at once, you may trigger an unintentional action.
Do not carry out several operations simultaneously.
 When using the touch screen:
Always touch only one operating element on the screen
 When using an external keyboard:
Do not press more than two keys simultaneously
Operator input options
Once the project is transferred to the HMI device, you can operate and monitor active
processes during the process control phase. You have the following operating options:
● Touch screen
The operating elements shown in the project images are touch-sensitive. Touch objects
are operated in the same way as mechanical keys. You trigger an operator control by
pressing it with your finger. To double-click them, touch an operating element twice in
succession.
Note
Observe the notes about the operation in chapter "Overview (Page 101)".
● External input device
The use of external input devices is recommended for the commissioning phase. The
following external input devices can be connected through the USB port:
– Keyboard
You can use an external keyboard to operate a project in exactly the same way as
with the screen keyboard.
Note
The function keys of the external keyboard are disabled.
– Mouse
You can use an external mouse to operate a project in exactly the same way as with
the touch screen of the HMI device.

11.2 Operator input options
Feedback from an operator control
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 selection of an operator control can deviate from the standard. More detailed information
is available in your plant documentation.
The type of optical operation feedback depends on the operator control:
● Buttons
The HMI device outputs different views of the "Pressed" and "Unpressed" states,
provided the configuration engineer has configured a 3D effect:
– "Pressed" state
– "Not pressed" state
The configuration engineer determines the appearance of a marked field, for example, line
width and color for the focus.
● Invisible button
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 field
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.

11.3 Direct keys
11.3
Direct keys
A direct key on the HMI device is a direct way to set a bit in the I/O area of the controller. A
direct key enables an operation with a fast response time. Fast response time is essential,
for example, for jogging mode.
NOTICE
Leaving the WLAN
Note that leaving the WLAN area will cause the PROFINET IO device to fail and therefore
result in a PLC stop.
Determine suitable programming measures in the PLC, in order to prevent a PLC stop.
Refer to your plant documentation for additional information.
Direct key immediately effective
If you trigger an operator control with direct key functionality in an active project, the
corresponding function is always executed, regardless of the screen display at the time.
Exception: Function keys are inactive, while a safety-related message is displayed.
Avoid pressing a direct key unintentionally.
Note
A direct key is enabled when both of the following conditions are satisfied:
 The HMI device is in the WLAN with sufficient radio signal.
 The HMI device is in "Offline" mode.
The following objects can be configured as a direct key:
● Buttons
● Function keys
● Screen number
● Handwheel
● Illuminated pushbutton
● Key-operated switch
Note
Direct keys result in additional power load on the HMI device.
Additional information is available in the "WinCC flexible, Communication" system manual.

11.7.1
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 operator controls 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 operator controls for which you have the necessary
authorizations.
The logon dialog can be set up by the configuration engineer via an individual operator
control. Similarly, an operator control can be configured for logoff. After logging off, objects
with password protection can no longer be operated – you need to log on again.
Refer to your plant documentation for additional information.
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. More detailed 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.
The users, passwords, group assignments and logoff times set up on the HMI device can be
backed up and restored. This prevents you having to enter all of the data again on another
HMI device.
NOTICE
The currently valid user data is overwritten in the following cases:
 Depending on the transfer settings, when the project is transferred again
 Upon restore of a backed-up project
 Upon import of the user administration via an operator control.
More detailed information is available in your plant documentation.
The retransferred or restored user data and passwords are valid with immediate effect.

The user view is used to show user accounts configured on the HMI device.
● If you are an administrator or a user with administrator rights, you can see all user
accounts configured on the HMI device in the user view.
● If you are a user without user management rights, you can only see your personal user
account.
The authorizations of a user after logging on depends on the user group to which the user
belongs.

A simple or extended user view can be configured in the project. The two user views offer
the same functions. The presentation of information differs.
Simple user view
If you are not logged onto the HMI device, the only entry contained in the simple user view is
"".
If you are logged onto the HMI device, the simple user view only displays the user name and
user group.
Extended user view
The extended user view displays information about the users.
The extended user view contains the following columns:
● Users
● Password
● Group

Function keys
Function key assignment is defined during configuration. The configuration engineer can
assign function keys globally and locally. The local assignment function takes priority over
the global setting.
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 is, for example, the enabling of an
image. Exception: Function keys are inactive, while a safety-related message is displayed.
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 configuration engineer can assign function keys in such a way so that you can operate
an operating element with a function key. This includes, for example, the alarm view, trend
view, recipe view or status/PLC.

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
System alarms indicate states or events which occur on the HMI device

More detailed information is available in your plant documentation.
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.

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.

In the figure showing the file cabinet, each suspension folder contains the same number of
sheets. Each sheet in the suspension folder corresponds to an element of the recipe data
record. All the records of a recipe contain the same elements. The records differ, however, in
the value of the individual elements.
Example:
All drinks contain the same components: water, concentrate, sugar and flavoring. The
records for soft drink, fruit juice or nectar differ, however, in the quantity of sugar used in
production.

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.
● External memory medium
The memory cards or USB sticks are external memory media for recipe data records. The
recipe data records are exported from the HMI device recipe memory and are saved on
the external memory medium in a *.csv file. The records can be reimported from the
external memory medium to the recipe memory.

Recipe screen
A recipe screen allows the correlation between the plant and the recipe data to be displayed
in graphic form. The configuration engineer combines I/O fields and screen objects to form a
custom input screen. The configuration engineer can distribute the I/O fields of a recipe over
several recipe screens, thus allowing recipe elements to be arranged by subject. The recipe
screen can be operated using buttons configured accordingly.

Recipe Values in the HMI Device and the PLC
Introduction
You can change the values of a recipe on the HMI device. The production process can be
controlled by this.
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
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.

Importing a recipe data record
Introduction
You can import values from a CSV file to a recipe data record, depending on the
configuration.
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
Requirements
● An operating element with the function "Import data record" has been configured, for
example a button
● A screen with a recipe view is displayed

Entering a recipe data record
Introduction
You would like to enter production data on the HMI device without interrupting the process in
the 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.

Manual production sequence
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.
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.
