Problem

Almost everywhere where products or materials are processed or worked, the temperature has a decisive influence on the quality of the final product and the course of the process respectively. It is thus necessary to record the temperature, to interpret its influence and to specifically react to changes in temperature using control technology.

Solution

The device combination of SIMATIC products and SIEMENS temperature sensors including measuring transducers is an excellent solution to the mentioned problem. In this application, a Pt100 sensor records the temperature of a measuring object and a SITRANS TK-L measuring transducer converts the sensor's measuring signal into an injected current which is supplied to an analog input of the compact CPU. The current temperature measurement value is displayed both numerically and as a bar chart on a TP170A touch panel.

Using the special STEP7 application software, which you can download (see below), it is additionally possible to ...

• define seven temperature ranges which are displayed on the touch panel and represented by DO bits. These bits can be used to trigger various user actions.

• display limit temperature violations requiring acknowledgement, react to them (in the program) and acknowledge them.

• provide the last insufficient or excess temperature with a time stamp.

The WinCC flexible configuration of the TP170A is integrated in the STEP7 project. The user interface languages German and English can be selected.

SIMATIC software is the integrated system environment for all SIMATIC systems and provides you with the ideal tool for every task at each phase of your project for optimizing your engineering workflow. The SIMATIC software offers a wide choice of programming languages that support you in the implementation phase. From these various languages, therefore, it is possible to select the language most suitable for each task to be mastered in an automation plant and thus keep time and costs down to a minimum. Thanks to the higher language constructs supplied with it, S7-SCL is suitable for calculations and data management algorithms.

Overview of the Tag Converters for WinCC flexible

¹) From WinCC flexible 2005 SP1 Hotfix 7
²) From WinCC flexible 2007
³) Modbus TCP/IP only in connection with Unity PRO XL

Description:
Starting with WinCC flexible 2005, tags can be imported as .csv file from an external data source. These tags can also originate from configuration packages for control programs by different manufacturers. The exported data has to be formatted accordingly and can then be imported into WinCC flexible.

For the formatting of the tag data from control programs, converters are available. With the converters, tag lists of different export formats are converted into the .csv format, which can then be imported by WinCC flexible.

Illustration:

Baru-baru ini, saya menerima telpon dari seorang teman. Dia mempunyai masalah di mesin packaging buatan Jerman. Kebetulan menggunakan PLC Siemen S7-300. Pada saat dia membuka program PLC Siemens Simatic S7, ada beberapa block penting yang diprotek. Karena tidak mungkin menunggu berhari-hari untuk menyelesaikan problem dimesin tersebut. Sementara seandainya memanggil orang bikin program dari Jerman. Woow.. lost time lost money. Simak tulisan saya dibawah in.

Bagaimana saya membuka blok yang diprotek?

Hal pertama yang saya akan dilakukan adalah mencari tentang software ini di Google dan membaca tentang software ini semuanya. Setelah itu mencoba eksplorasi perangkat lunak ini. Seseorang (mungkin S7 programmer) menjelaskan tentang 'Generate Source' dan saya ditunjukkan olehnya sebuah contoh yang tepat. Lebih lanjut dia tunjukan pada saya bagaimana cara kunci blok melalui KNOW_HOW_PROTECT. It was amazing, mereka hanya menulis baris ini (KNOW_HOW_PROTECT) di dalam sebuah program dan cara mengkompilasi kode. Dikompilasi kode yang dikenal sebagai blok. Blok yang telah dilindungi yang berarti kode di dalam blok tidak dapat terlihat oleh orang lain. Kemudian menghapus sumber dan blok sekarang yang diprotek. Bingung deh...

Setelah saya coba, berhasil. Berikut ini langkah-langkah yang harus dilakukan untuk membuka proteksi blok programnya:

Step 1 : Download program *.dbf editor. Editor dbf yang saya gunakan. Untuk download silahkan klik berikut ini http://www.ks-soft.net/download/other/dbf_edit.zip atau dari Mr. PLC di http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?s=e6d59e5a3589ec647fce45abc6acab04&act=Attach&type=post&id=895

Step 2: Setelah anda download file tsb. Extract file dbf_edit.exe dikomputer anda didrive mana saja dan buat folder DBFEDIT. Contohnya saja saya extract di C:\DBFEDIT\DBF_EDIT.exe.

Step 3: Untuk membuka proteksi blok tersebut (unlock), copy file SUBBLK.DBF dari folder ..\PROJECT\ombstx\offline\00000001\ dimana projek tersebut anda simpan.Kemudian paste di dalam folder C:\DBFEDIT\ (yang sebelumnya dibuat di Langkah 2).

Step 4:Kemudian jalankan Command Prompt(Dos Windows) dengan cara mengklik START -> Run -> Ketik Cmd -> Kemudian Enter atau di Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

Step 5: Ikuti perintah berikutnya,

C:\>cd dbfedit
C:\DBFEDIT>dbf_edit.exe subblk.dbf

Sebuah aplikasi DOS akan membukan, cari kolom PASSWORD dengan menekan arah panah ke kanan pada keyboard. Dan ganti angka 3 menjadi 0 dengan menekan tombol ENTER dan masukan nilai 0 untuk membuka proteksi blok tersebut (unlock the block). Kemudian tekan Esc atau F10 untuk SAVE dan Exit. Lihat di print screen di bawah ini.

Step 6: Copy the SUBBLK.DBF yang tadi ada di dalam folder C:\DBFEDIT\ dan paste dimana file tersebut berada sebelumnya. Ingat lakukan backup file original SUBBLK.DBF.

Step 7: Sekarang buka file project di SIMATEC Step 7 software. Semua blok yang terproteksi kini sudah terbuka (All the blocks are unlocked).

Jadi sekarang berhasil. Lihat print screen sebelumnya (Lock) dan sesudahnya (Unlock).

Prinscreen diatas Semua di lock

Printscreen setelah unlock, hanya utk SFC tetep lock (soalnya itu std firmware dr siemensnya).
