Software PLC - SIMATIC WinAC RTX 2008

Posted by Xavier Labels: , , , ,


WinAC RTX 2008 is used when high performance, high data volumes and at the same time hard real time are required for the automation task. The optimized runtime system supports the processing of extensive and demanding PC applications in parallel with the control task. The performance of WinAC RTX 2008 can be scaled across the PC platform.


Applications range from machine-level control tasks with rugged embedded PCs to high-end applications on PCs with enhanced performance (e.g. SIMATIC Rack PCs).


Platforms

SIMATIC WinAC RTX 2008 runs on standard PCs wit Windows XP Professional.yet excellently fits to SIMATIC Industrial PCs.In particular, the use on embedded PC platforms such as the SIMATIC Microbox PC 427B or Panel PC 477B with Windows XP Embedded results in cost-effective and very rugged solutions.The Microbox PC 427B is characterized by its diskless and fanless operation. WinAC RTX 2008 uses the main memory of the PCs and offers program backup on the hard disk. Non-cyclic data such as production parameters or recipe data can be stored permanently on the PC's hard disk with the help of system functions (SFC 82 – 84). In addition, all data can be held retentively in conjunction with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).


I/O connection

Employing WinAC RTX 2008 it is possible to connect the I/O via PROFINET. This requires either the integrated Ethernet interface of the SIMATIC PC or a CP 1616 (PCI) or CP 1604 (PCI-104) communications processor.Open User Communication permits open communication of WinAC RTX 2008 via TCP and UDP. Open data exchange with any communication partner via the PROFINET interface is possible. WinAC RTX 2008 makes use of the TSEND/TRECV blocks for this purpose; they are available as library for all SIMATIC S7 CPUs. In addition I/O can be connected via PROFIBUS DP at up to 12 Mbit/s via the integral DP interface of the SIMATIC PCs or via communications processors (CP 5611 A2/5613 A2). Up to four PROFIBUS lines can be operated with up to 500 slaves.


Isochronous mode

In addition, with its PROFIBUS interfaces WinAC RTX 2008 also supports the system function isochronous mode. With isochronous mode, high-speed, time-dependent applications such as closed-loop controls can also be implemented with distributed I/O. This means that in addition to the control job other functions can be integrated into a PC or smaller, more economical PCs can be used for the same job.


Retentivity

On exiting, WinAC RTX 2008 saves all the data declared as retentive to the hard disk. In order to ensure a defined shutdown of the Software PLC in the event of an unexpected failure of the PC voltage supply, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS, e.g. SITOP DC UPS) can be used. SIMATIC PCs with integrated, non-volatile memory enable up to 128 KB of retentive data to be stored in the event of voltage dip, regardless of the file system. For SIMATIC PCs without integrated, non-volatile memory, the WinAC NV128 plug-in card is available. This enables up to 128 KB of retentive data to be stored. Depending on the version of the PC, however, the use of a UPS may be necessary.

PC Adapter (Interface Cable) for Siemens

Posted by Xavier Labels: ,

The Programming Cables

There are three major types of programming cables:

1. The CP5512 card in a PCMCIA slot.

2. The PC Adapter using a serial or USB connection

3. An Ethernet cable

The CP5512 card and the PC Adapter can communicate on either an MPI or PROFIBUS port. Note that PROFIBUS is labeled as DP on the Siemens connection ports. These cables can piggyback on existing connectors. Be aware that the PC Adapter draws its power to work from the connection port so check the power LED for proper operation. The CP5512 card draws its power from the computer.

For Ethernet (TCP/IP) use a standard Ethernet cable from the computer to a CPU with an Ethernet port, a CP 343/443 module or a network switch all ready attached to the PLC network.

What is the difference between the PC Adapter and the TS Adapter in communication between the PC and the S7?

Posted by Xavier Labels: ,

Configuration Notes:
The PC Adapter and TS Adapter differ with regard to their firmware, function and in the way they are parameterized:

  • The MPI/DP/PPI interface for the PC Adapter is parameterized directly in the STEP 7 software using the Set PG/PC interface... function.
  • The MPI/DP/PPI interface of the TS Adapter is parameterized from the TeleService software via the function Extras > Parameterize adapter. Unlike with the PC Adapter, the parameters are stored directly in the TS Adapter.

There are two types of application:

  • Modem connection
  • Direct connection (serial or USB)

Only direct connection is possible via the PC Adapter (6ES7 972-0CA2X-0XA0) and PC Adapter USB (6ES7 972-0CB20-0XA0). The table below explains which PC Adapters can be used for transfer and communication between the PC and the S7.

No. PC/TS Adapter
1 SIMATIC PC Adapter (serial RS232)
You can use the following PC Adapter for communication between a PC (COM interface) and a SIMATIC S7 (MPI/DP interface):
  • PC Adapter (serial conforming to MPI) - order number 6ES7 972-0CA23-0XA0

Conversion from RS232 to RS485 takes place in the PC Adapter. The PC adapter must be supplied with current via the MPI connector. More information on the power supply and connection required is available in our Entry ID: 20279422.

Note:
 This PC Adapter is not approved for transferring the ProTool configuration to the operator panel.

2 SIMATIC PC Adapter USB
 The SIMATIC PC Adapter USB connects a PC (also for notebooks) via a USB interface with the MPI/DP interface of an S7/C7 systems and can also be used with PRODAVE MPI as from version V5.6.
  • PC Adapter USB - order number 6ES7 972-0CB20-0XA0

Note:
Please note that PRODAVE MPI V5.6 does not work with the S7-200 USB/PPI Multi-Master Cable (6ES7 901-3DB30-0XA0).

3 TS Adapter II
You can parameterize the TS Adapter II for both modem and direct connection.
  • Modem connection: The TS Adapter II permits a component running on a PC (e.g. STEP 7) to access automation components (S7 and C7) on an MPI/DP/PPI bus via the telephone network. You need the TeleService application to set up a remote connection.
  • Direct connection: With a direct connection, the TS Adapter II permits data exchange between the PG/PC and an S7/C7 via the Universal Serial Bus (USB). In the case of a direct connection, the TS Adapter II functions like a PC Adapter USB.

You need at least TeleService V6.0 to parameterize the TS Adapter II. You can also use previous versions to set up a remote connection and, if necessary, log on on the TS Adapter II.

4 TS Adapter IE
The TS Adapter IE adapter has the following functions:
  • Teleservicing via the telephone network: Applications running on a PG/PC, e.g. STEP 7, can access the automation components S7 and C7 that are connected to the Industrial Ethernet.
  • For this, the TS Adapter IE requires
  • A connection to the automation components via the Industrial Ethernet,
  • A modem connection to the PG/PC.
  • Sending e-mails from a SIMATIC CPU via the TS Adapter IE. For this the TS Adapter IE sets up an outgoing modem connection to a dial-up server, for example an Internet Service Provider, and sends the e-mails via a mail server that is available there.
  • Standard routing: You can set up a modem connection to an Internet Service Provider and then access Internet data using a browser.

You need the application TeleService V6.1 or higher, or the Windows dial-up network to set up a remote connection via the telephone network.

Note:
Helmholtz PC adapters cannot be used for online operation in conjunction with the FM353 and the FM354.

TS Adapter (6ES7 972-0CA3X-0XA0) and TS Adapter II (6ES7 972-0Cx35-0XA0) support both types of application (direct and modem connection). Information on the two types of connection follows.

Operating the TS Adapter with direct connection

Direct connection:
The direct connection is primarily for parameterizing the TS Adapter. In the same configuration you can also go online in STEP 7 and in this way you can check the MPI/PROFIBUS/PPI parameters for bus compatibility. In this way it is possible to access S7/C7 systems via the MPI/DP interface (as with a PC Adapter).
With the direct connection there is no access protection active for the TS Adapter. Thus it is possible to change the TS Adapter's parameters without any problem, e.g. by importing adapter parameters.

Setting up the direct connection:
 With the direct connection a connection is set up directly via the TS Adapter between the PG/PC on which TeleService is installed and the automation system. You do not need a modem.
With the direct connection you can work with transmission rates of 19200 bit/s or 38400 bit/s at the TS Adapter's serial interface. To switch between transmission rates you must change the switch on the TS Adapter and also change the parameters in the software using the "Set PG-PC interface..." function. In the case of direct connection, TS Adapter II works via the USB. Here there is no transmission rate to set.

The following figure shows the TS Adapter in the direct connection configuration.


Fig. 01

Operating the TS Adapter with modem connection

Setting up a modem connection:
 The connection between the PG/PC on which TeleService is installed and the automation system at whose MPI/DP/PPI interface the TS Adapter is slotted is set up via a modem route.
Thus the configuration connects the PG/PC via the telephone network and the TS Adapter at the MPI/DP/PPI interface of the automation system.
The following figure shows the TS Adapter in the modem connection configuration.


Fig. 02

There are two options for the TS Adapter IE:

  1. TS Adapter IE Modem;
    with internal modem and connection for an external modem or ISDN TA.
  2. TS Adapter IE ISDN;
    with internal ISDN TA and connection for an external modem or ISDN TA.


Fig. 03

Purpose:
This configuration permits you to dial into a remote system. For this you use TeleService to set up a teleconnection via the telephone network to a remote system. Once the modem connection is set up you can then process the dialed-up system as usual with STEP 7.

Note:
The drivers for the TS Adapter are supplied with the TeleService software. Installation of TeleService is thus obligatory for setting the TS Adapter in the PG/PC interface. It is not possible to use the TS Adapter without TeleService, not even for a direct connection (as with the PC Adapter). In a direct connection configuration via the USB interface TS Adapter II can be used for communication with the automation system even without TeleService. The requirement is that the relevant driver is installed and prior correct setting of the adapter's parameters. PC Adapter USB and TS Adapter II are supplied with a driver CD.
