parameters to improve roaming times and reduce the interference from other systems or
segments.
– "Background scan ch. select" check box
The "Background scan ch. select" check box limits the number of channels the HMI
device scans to find an access point. The result is faster handover times and reduced
risk of a real-time violation.
If you have enabled the "Background scan ch. select" option, you have to specify the
channels with access points within range that are in iPCF mode in the following
"Background scan channels" text box. If you do not define the channels, the HMI
device will have to perform a time-consuming scan of the entire band.
– "Background scan channels" text box
Here you specify the channels in which there are actually access points in iPCF mode
within the range of the HMI device. If you specify several channels, the individual
entries have to be separated by spaces.
– Selection list "Transmit power"
When using antennas, it may be necessary to reduce the transmission power so as
not to exceed the maximum statutory power or to restrict the visibility of the radio field.
If necessary, select the level of reduced transmission power here.
A reduction in the transmission power may also be necessary to avoid interference of
other radio cells, because a lower power level will result in a smaller cell.
– Selection list "Security level"
Use this field to select the required level of security for your wireless network. The
security level must match the setting of an access point in iPCF mode, with which the
HMI device communicates.
You have the following options:
● None (No Encryption) An open system without encryption.
● Medium (Encryption) Static keys are used. This is the recommended setting,
whereby you should use a 128-bit key.
Go to the next text window using the "Next" button.

11. If you want to operate the HMI device in the "iPCF-MC mode (industrial Point
Coordination Function with Management Channel)" for rapid roaming, select "I-Features
> iPCF-MC".
iPCF was developed to achieve fast handover times when moving between radio cells.
However, iPCF achieves optimum performance only with RCoax cables. The iPCF-MC
procedure provides fast handover times, even for freely mobile clients and numerous
cells or when a large number of channels is used.
iPCF and iPCF-MC are incompatible and cannot be used simultaneously for an HMI
device.
Make the following settings in the "iPCF-MC" menu.
– Select the "iPCF-MC enabled" check box.
– Select the "Strong AES-CCM" check box if you want to use "Strong AES-CCM"
encryption.
The AES-CCM encryption method is only possible in iPCF mode. Make sure that a
128-bit WEP key is defined with the "Security > Keys" menu command. After you have
selected the "Strong AES-CCM encryption" check box, the display changes to "128 bit
AES" in the "Security > Keys" menu command. The device uses AES-CCM.
– Enter a value for "Background scan interval".
This parameter determines the time between two background scans of the HMI

Select a monitoring time short enough to ensure that the error tolerance time of the
production process will not be exceeded.
Proceed as follows:
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

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
monitoring time using Excel table "s7fcotia.xls"
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/21627074
).
This table is part of the option package S7 Distributed Safety.
You can find the parameters needed to calculate the monitoring
time under "General specifications".
The following parameters are fixed:
Parameter Meaning
F_SIL Safety class of the HMI device
The value of the parameter is set to "SIL 3".
F_Block_ID This parameter must be set to the value "0", because there is
no checksum of the individual device parameters.
F_Par_Version Implemented PROFIsafe version.
The value of the parameter is set to "1". This means
PROFIsafe V2 will be used.
F_Source_Add PROFIsafe address used to uniquely identify the source
throughout the network and station.
The address is assigned automatically. The "F_Source_Add"
parameter can have a value between 1 and 65534.

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 ().

7.3.5 Using F-FBs
You must integrate the following F-blocks into your safety program:
● An F_FB_MP F-block for each HMI device.
The assigned HMI device is monitored by this F-FB.
● One F_FB_RNG_4 or F_FB_RNG_16 for each machine.
The assigned effective range for this machine is managed by this F-FB. Whether
F_FB_RNG_4 or F_FB_RNG_16 is required depends on the maximum number of HMI
devices that are to be logged onto a machine:
– F_FB_RNG_4 For a maximum of 4 HMI devices
– F_FB_RNG_16 For a maximum of 16 HMI devices
● An F_DB_STATES with the WORD data type of a comparable address area in an existing
F-DB.
Using this F-DB, data are exchanged between the F_FB_MP of the HMI device and the
F_FB_RNG_n of the effective range.
● FB215, F_ESTOP1
Use this function block to ensure that the operator must acknowledge an EMERGENCY
STOP before restarting the plant. You can find this block in the "Distributed Safety" F-
library in the "F-Application Blocks" block container.
● FC176, F_BO_W and FC177, F_W_BO
Insert the "FC176, F_BO_W" and "FC177, F_W_BO" blocks into your safety program.
These blocks are used as calls. You can find these blocks in the "F-Application Blocks"
container of the "Distributed Safety" F-library.
WARNING
F-application block
Ensure that the following match when changing the names of an F-application block:
The symbolic name in the symbol table
The name in the object properties of the block (header)
Do not change the number of the F-application block!

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

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.
● QBAD = 0
PROFIsafe communication takes place between the HMI device and the F-CPU.
● QBAD = 1
No PROFIsafe communication takes place between the HMI device and the F-CPU.
WARNING
Automatic restart
The security program must ensure that after S7_MP_RES is set, the plant does not
restart automatically.
The operator must explicitly perform an action for the restart.

Parameter Data type Description Interconnection
QBAD Bool QBAD indicates if the F-I/O has been
passivated.
I/O DB:
DBx2.1 = QBAD
ACK_REQ Bool Acknowledgement required
After a communication error, the fail-safe
system sets QBAD = 1 and ACK_REQ = 0.
ACK_REQ = 1 indicates that the PROFIsafe
message frames are being exchanged again.
I/O DB:
DBx2.2 = ACK_REQ
S7_MP_RES Bool This input is set so that the F-CPU resets the
status of F_FB_MP to its "original state", in
other words:
The HMI device has the status "removed"
If a rampdown or shutdown was set, it is
reset.
If the HMI device was logged onto a
machine, the associated effective range
will be enabled once again.
The input is only evaluated if Q_BAD = 1.
The S7_MP_RES input has to be set if the
HMI device cannot return itself to a defined
state, for example when a system error
occurs or the main rechargeable battery is
dead.
Must be specifically
interconnected for
plant.
The security program
must ensure that after
S7_MP_RES is set,
automatic restart of
the plant is not
possible. The operator
must ensure that he
executes a separate
operator action to
begin the restart.

Purpose
Depending on the operating status of the HMI device, the F-FB performs the following:
● Connect the outputs of F_FB_RNG_n
● Prepare the output user data
Each HMI device in the wireless network can assume one of the following operating states:
● Removed without communication error
The HMI device has been successfully removed from the safety program of the F-CPU.
This ends PROFIsafe communication. The HMI device has no influence on the outputs of
F_FB_RNG_n.
● Integrated without communication error
F_FB_RNG_n reacts as follows:
– The operator can log onto a machine with the HMI device, if no other HMI device is
logged onto this machine.
– The E_STOP output will be set by pressing the EMERGENCY STOP button.
– The ENABLE output of F_FB_RNG_n is set according to the state of the enabling
button if the HMI device is logged onto a machine.
– The RNG_BUSY output of F_FB_RNG_n is set to "1" if the HMI device is logged onto
a machine.
– The OVERRIDE input must be set for an RFID logon within five seconds after the
confirmation of logon for the logon to be successfully completed on a machine.
– When the HMI device is logged onto a machine, it can be logged off the machine.
● Removed with communication error
PROFIsafe communication with the HMI device was interrupted without explanation.
The following outputs are set in F_FB_RNG_n:
– GLOB_RD, if the HMI device was not logged onto a machine.
– SHUTDOWN, if the HMI device was logged onto a machine.
The corresponding signal is reset following acknowledgment of the communication
error or the MP status reset is set. The machine is enabled again by F_FB_RNG_n for
logon of an HMI device.
● Integrated with brief communication error
PROFIsafe communication with the HMI device is resumed after a brief interruption,
enabling user data to be exchanged again between the HMI device and F-CPU. The
E_STOP output is set when the EMERGENCY STOP button is pressed, even if the
communication error has not been confirmed.

identical to an existing compressed project file. WinCC flexible does not check if the two are
identical.
Therefore, always transfer the compressed project file together with the runtime project.

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,
