Starting WinCC from Windows

After you start WinCC, you are prompted to create a project. WinCC independently
creates a project folder for each project created (use Control_Room, for example).
Then the MS SQL Server 2005 database is set up. After configuration is started
again, the project last edited is called up. If a new project is to be created, then
select the following in the WinCC Explorer:
M>File, O>New...
Legend M equals Menu

O equals Operation in drop-down menu
Selection Possibilities in the Start Dialog

The Explorer dialog box offers 3 configuration selections for creating a new
project. You can open an existing project in a further dialog box.
Use the Context Help. Open the context help by clicking on the question mark
icon in the WinCC Explorer dialog shown above. After clicking on the question
mark icon, move it to the different texts in the dialog window to obtain further
information.
Note You can use both lower case and upper case characters in a project name.

renamed after a copy is made. When an new project is created, the database is
automatically generated.
*.Log File Log Files *.log contain setup data, system status and error messages for the
application engineer and service technician.
Installation directory: Siemens\\WinCC\\Diagnose.

Interchanging between Projects
Start Runtime
Stop Runtime
Project name. MCP
SITRAIN
Switching Projects You can switch between existing projects :
1. In the WinCC Explorer menu bar, click on M>File, O>Open.
2. In the "Open" window, search for your project.
3. Click on your file name, as illustrated in the slide above (File name :
Example.MCP).
Note If a third-party WinCC project (that was copied onto the hard drive from a data
storage medium) is started in Runtime, you must replace the existing computer
name with the local computer name before you start. You do this in "Computer"
Properties, "General" tab. Then you must exit WinCC and restart it. Now, Runtime
can be restarted.

Specifying Project Properties (1/2)
SITRAIN
Specifying Project Properties

By means of the shortcut menu for your project name (Control_Room), you enter
the creator, the version, and comments in the "General" tab of the Project
properties dialog box that appears.
Update Cycle
By means of the "Update Cycles" tab, you can observe the 15 update cycles for
the project; Of these update cycles, you can change five settings (update:
acyclical, 250 ms to 1 hr). The update type is used for output objects in Graphic
Designer.
Hot Keys Hot keys are key combinations that trigger certain actions within WinCC, such as
hardcopy, log on, and log off.
Additional project options
- Allow activation RT on ES (for integrated WinCC projects in the
Simatic Manager “Start OS simulation”)
- Help available during run time (e.g. via Online Trend Control)
Operation Mode Here you define if the project is implemented as standard project or as service
project. As service project, the server is placed, for example, in a room similar to a
bunker with halon or CO2 extinguishing system, etc., since important data such as
FDA-relevant data is stored there. No user should be able to change anything.
Therefore, nobody is logged in and WinCC even runs without Graphics Runtime
as service.
User Interface and Design
Settings for interface and design (central color palette, hover, shadow and
transparency effects (see next page).
Find Function The shortcut menu calls up the WinCC Find... function.
Use the right mouse button to click on the Project Name icon, Computer icon or
the Tag Management icon.
The following Find... functions are available:
Name
Date of change
Individual object types or all object types: Tag, tag group, computer name, type of
coupling, channel unit, and logical connection.

Specifying Project Properties (Interface and Design) (2/2)
SITRAIN
Defining the Project Properties for Interface and Design

Via the tab "User Interface and Design", the operator can use the central color
management and implement user interface and design settings (central color
palette, hover, shadow and transparency effects).
Central Color Palette:
In the "Color Selection" editor, the colors used in the project can be managed and
changed in a central color palette.
Active Design: In the "Global Design Settings" editor, the user can globally define the design of
the objects, i.e. for the entire project. The user can select from a range of
predefined designs or create and activate own designs. Own designs can be
edited as required. The following settings can be defined individually for self-
created designs:
- Global shadow
- Hover effect
- Style of an object group
- Color scheme of an object group

Computer Properties 1/2
SITRAIN
Computer List The computer list contains all computers assigned to the current project.
General The computer name, e.g. Instructor, and the computer type are specified in the
"General" tab. Via the button “Assume local computer name" the computer name is
accepted in the computer properties.
The computer type (Server or Client) is defined for multi-user projects (client-server
configurations). "Server" is the presetting”.
Startup You use the "Startup" tab to select standard WinCC programs that are to be loaded
when the Runtime project is activated. You can start other applications during
startup by using the "Add" button.
Parameters You use the "Parameters" tab to specify the language setting at runtime, whereby a
spare (replacement) language can be taken into account. In order to avoid incorrect
operator handling in Runtime, typical Windows key combinations can be inhibited.
The PLC‘s time-of-day setting allows for universal time (UTC) or local time. The
Date/Time-of-Day selection possibilities allows you to display the RT time for
WinCC data in the valid local time zone or in the coordinated time zone (UTC
Universal Time Coordinated). In addition, the time format can be displayed
according to ISO 8601.
Graphics Runtime You can make individual project settings (see slide above) in the Graphics Runtime
tab. Select the Online Help.
Note The computer name may not contain a blank, a hyphen or an underscore. The first
character must be a letter. All characters must be capitalized. It is recommended
that you only use the characters a to z, A to Z, 0 to 9. Information on changing a
computer name can be found in FAQ 5708 281

SITRAIN
General You use the "Set PG/PC Interface" tool to define the connection between an
application such as STEP 7 and a module such as CP 5611. The tool is activated
with Start --> Settings --> Control Panel.
Access Point Other examples of access points are:

• CP_H1_1 for SIMATIC NET (Ethernet)
• CP_L2_1 for SIMATIC NET (PROFIBUS)
• DPSONLINE for ProTool/Pro DP-Slave
• Micro/Win for the S7-200 software
• MPI (WinCC) for the WinCC Software, if no STEP 7 is installed on the PC
Interface Parameter Assignment Used

Here, enter the module used, such as, CP5611 and the interface used, such as,
MPI Æ (CP5611(MPI)). If you connect the PG to the Profibus, use the setting
CP5611 (PROFIBUS). To save a switch-over of the PG/PC interface, you can also
use the setting CP5611 (Auto). The bus parameters are then automatically
determined. With this setting, however, the connection takes longer.
Properties In this tab, you adapt the parameters of the interface. For "Address", enter the MPI
address of the PG. This must be unique in the network. To make communication
possible, the "Transmission Rate" and "Highest Node Address" parameters must
be the same for all nodes (stations). The "PG/PC is the only master on the bus"
setting is only activated if only slaves are connected to the PG.
Diagnostics With this, you can check whether a connection can be made.

Installation of the SIMATIC Device Drivers (S7-DOS)
SITRAIN
Driver The SIMATIC Device Drivers is required for the communication to the SIMATIC S7
via the SIMATIC S7 protocol suite.
Note The SIMATIC Device Drivers is to be selected under Communication for the
WinCC installation. If this has not taken place, it can be made later on with a Delta
Installation.

Communication Structure
SITRAIN
The Way it Works The WinCC data manager manages the WinCC tags during Runtime execution.
The various WinCC applications address their tag requirements to the data
manager. The data manager then has the task of fetching the demanded tag
values from the process by using the communication driver integrated into each
WinCC project. The communication driver makes the interface between WinCC
and the process using one of its channel units. The hardware connection to the
process is usually made using a communications processor. The WinCC
communication driver then sends request telegrams to the programmable logic
controller using this communications processor. The programmable logic controller
sends the requested process values back to the WinCC in corresponding reply
telegrams.
Data Manager The data manager takes over the administration of the data in WinCC. This is not
visible to the user. The data manager works with the data created in the WinCC
project and stored in the project database. It takes over the complete management
of the WinCC tags while WinCC is running in Runtime. All WinCC applications
have to request the data from the data manager in the form of WinCC tags. These
applications are, among others, Graphics Runtime, Alarm Logging Runtime and
Tag Logging Runtime.
Communication Driver
Various communication drivers are used so that WinCC can communicate with the
different types of available programmable logic controllers. The WinCC
communication drivers link the data manager to the programmable logic controller.
The communication driver is a C++ DLL which communicates with the data
manager through the interface specified by the data manager. This interface is a
so-called Channel API. The WinCC tags are supplied with process values through
this communication driver.
Hardware Driver The hardware connection to the process is usually made using a communications
processor. Every channel unit forms the interface to exactly one subordinate
hardware driver and therefore to exactly one communication module in the
computer.

Configuring Process Tags for SIMATIC S7
Note:
Use of S7 symbols (TIA)
is possible as of WinCC V5.
SITRAIN
Process Tags
Process tags establish the connection between the process and the HMI station.
They are configured after a PLC connection is setup.
New Group
WinCC allows you to combine tags in technological units. This results in a tag
structure that is easy to read. Before you begin with tag configuration (New Tag)
create a "New Group...".
New (Process) Tag
The slide above illustrates all the configuration steps.
Linear Scaling
The process values are scaled before they are displayed.
Internal Tags
WinCC makes it possible to define tags, which do not affect process coupling, for
an entire project. Tags can also be configured here either individually, or combined
in groups.
Limits/Reporting
On this page, the limits to be checked by the data manager are specified.
Substitute values to used in the case of connection errors and a start value to be
used by the data manager for the initial initialization.
Note
With integrated WinCC projects, access to the S7 symbols (TIA) is possible. The
tags are generated by WinCC.
When you give a tag a name, you have the following restrictions:
The @ character should be reserved for WinCC system tags; it is, however,
possible to use this character.
. : ? „ ' \ * $ % Blank
Capital / small letters is irrelevant.
The period is used as a separator in structure tags.

SITRAIN
Objective Configuration for SIMATIC S7 tag coupling, create tags

- Open the "ControlRoom" project via M> File Æ O> Last file
Legend M equals Drop-down menu, O equals Operation in drop-down menu
- In the opened WinCC project, open the SIMATIC S7 Protocol Suite in Tag
Management
- Open the connection "S7 program" under "MPI”
- Create the tag group "Filling Plant" via "New Group" (right-click on connection
name)
- Create the two tags P_Tank1_IB0 and P_Tank2_QB5 in the tag group "Filling
Plant" via "New Tag" (right-click on tag group name). Also create the four tags
for the "Motor picture" group and the three tags for the "Message events" group
.
Result The internal tags you configured can now be linked with objects to make them
dynamic (action configuration).
Excel You can create and maintain large amounts of tags very effectively and easily with
Excel, for example. You get a fixed structure in the design of the tag name in
Excel, if you use the Export via the WinCC -> Tools -> "Tag Export Import". You
can then reimport this tag list created in Excel into WinCC with same the program.
The tool is located on your WinCC DVD and must first be installed.
Excel 2000, Excel XP, Excel 2003 SP3
In addition, you can install a Configuration Tool (Add-In for Excel) from the WinCC
DVD. With this tool you can configure mass data in Excel for connections, tags,
structures, messages, archive tags etc.
The Excel spreadsheet can also be executed on computers without WinCC
installed.

Data Storage in SIMATIC S7: Motorola Format (Big-Endian)
In the Motorola format (Big-Endian (“Big End”)), the byte with the
most significant bits (i.e. most significant digits) is saved first, i.e. at
the smallest memory address.
Example: addressing of binary tag: P_message0 Æ DB1.DBX16.2
SITRAIN
Storage of process tags on the SIMATIC page
Process tags establish the connection between the process and the operator
control and monitoring station. On the SIMATIC page, storage is always organized
byte-by-byte. If, however, two bytes are combined in one word, e.g. DB1.DBW16
(byte 16, byte 17), the data is stored in Motorola format on the SIMATIC page. In
this format, the byte with the most significant bits (i.e. the most significant digits) is
stored first, i.e. at the smallest memory address (in the example above in byte 16
of the DB1 data block). The bit pattern shown in the figure corresponds to the
decimal value 1024. When individual bits are addressed, the address is specified
byte-oriented. In the figure above, bit 10 in the data word 16 is addressed with the
address "DB1.DBX16.2". The right byte of the data word 16 (DB1.DBW16) has the
address 17.

System Info Channel

Objective Configuration for SIMATIC S7 tag coupling, create tags

- Open the "ControlRoom" project via M> File ◊ O> Last file
Legend: M equals Drop-down menu, O equals Operation in drop-down menu
- In the opened WinCC project, open the SIMATIC S7 Protocol Suite in Tag
Management
- Open the connection "S7 program" under "MPI"
- Create the tag group "Filling Plant" via "New Group" (right-click on connection
name)
- Create the two tags P_Tank1_IB0 and P_Tank2_QB5 in the tag group "Filling
Plant" via "New Tag" (right-click on tag group name). Also create the four tags
for the "Motor picture" group and the three tags for the "Message events" group
Excel You can create and maintain large amounts of tags very effectively and easily with
Excel, for example. You get a fixed structure in the design of the tag name in
Excel, if you use the Export via the WinCC -> Tools -> "Tag Export Import". You
can then reimport this tag list created in Excel into WinCC with same the program.
The tool is located on your WinCC DVD and must first be installed.
Excel 2000, Excel XP, Excel 2003 SP3
In addition, you can install a Configuration Tool (Add-In for Excel) from the WinCC
DVD. With this tool you can configure mass data in Excel for connections, tags,
structures, messages, archive tags etc.
The Excel spreadsheet can also be executed on computers without WinCC
installed.

Configuring Internal Tags
SITRAIN
Internal Tags
WinCC makes it possible to define tags, which do not affect process coupling, for
an entire project. Tags can also be configured here either individually, or combined
in groups.
New Group
WinCC allows you to combine tags in technological units. This results in a tag
structure that is easy to read. Before you begin with tag configuration (New Tag)
create a "New Group...".
New (Internal) Tag

The slide above illustrates all the configuration steps.
Limits/Reporting
The limits to be checked by the data manager are specified on this page. A start
value to be used by the data manager for an initial initialization and runtime
persistency so that the data of the tag will not be deleted after a runtime restart.

Exercise 4: Configuring Internal Tags and Tag Groups
Name of 1st group: I_measurement_points

Name of 2nd group: I_message_events
Configuring Tags
Name Data type
Event1 unsigned 8-bit value
Trend_1 signed 16-bit value

IVar_Meas signed 16-bit value
SITRAIN
Objective Create a tag group (as shown above) with the associated internal tags within the
group.

- Open the "ControlRoom" project via M> File Æ O> Last file
- In the opened WinCC project, open Tag Management
- Create the tag group "I_measuring_points" via "New Group" (right-click on
internal variable)
- Create the tag "Trend_1" of the data type "signed 16-bit value" and the tag
"IVar_Meas" of the data type "signed 16-bit value" via "New Tag" (right-click on
tag group name "I_measuring_points) in the tag group "I_measuring_points".
- Implement the configuration steps also for the tag group "I_message_events"
and create the tag "Event1" there.

Status of the Connection
Please note: Runtime must be

started for this test function
SITRAIN
General A fault or an error when building up a communication connection is generally only

detected during Runtime. Objects that are made dynamic via WinCC tags and
cannot be supplied with current process values are displayed as inactive in the
process screen. These can be I/O fields, slider objects or trend displays, for
example. If a fault doesn‘t exist for all WinCC tags of a connection this indicates an
error source of a single WinCC tag. In this case you should check the tag
addressing as well as its notation in Graphics Designer, for example. If a fault
exists for all WinCC tags of a connection, this indicates that there is an error with
the connection itself.
Diagnosing You can diagnose the coupling from the WinCC side. It is done in the WinCC
Explorer. If a communication link is created using the S7 Protocol Suite, you can
access the diagnostic capabilities of the S7.
1. You reach the Standard Diagnosis by clicking on

M>Tools, O> Status of Driver Connections
If the number of read-only and/or write-only tasks that are displayed increase
continually and no reduction takes place, it can lead to an overload of the data link.
2. Expanded Diagnosis, for example,

C:\Siemens\WinCC\Diagnose\SIMATIC_S7_PROTOCOL_SUITE_01.LOG
whereby an exact error diagnosis is created.
You will find an explanation for the Error No. that is displayed in the Online Help.
You will find an example on the next page.

Connection Diagnostics with SIMATIC S7 (*.LOG)
C:\Siemens\WinCC\Diagnose\SIMATIC_S7_PROTOCOL_SUITE_01.LOG
SITRAIN
When you have a connection error, you can read out the file
"SIMATIC_S7_PROTOCOL_SUITE_01.LOG“. The LOG file records date, time-of-
day, and the events with error code. In the Online help, you will find the necessary
reference (cause of error) for the error code.
You will find further important *.LOG files in the WinCC diagnostic directory.
Storage of the *.LOG file depends on the installation path.

Channel Diagnostics with Channel Diagnosis
Call
WinCC Runtime must be activated in order to display the diagnosis.

SITRAIN
Diagnosis Call "Channel Diagnosis" can be started as an application via the Windows Start menu.
That way, "Channel Diagnosis" is always available. The Channel Diagnosis Tool
must be installed from the WinCC DVD.
The advantage compared to the Log file
SIMATIC_S7_PROTOCOL_SUITE_01.LOG,
is that the status information of the connection is displayed directly.
ActiveX Control The status information for a channel can also be displayed in a process screen
through the ActiveX Control "WinCC Channel Diagnosis Control". The ActiveX
Control is available in the "Controls" object pallet of the Graphics Designer and is
inserted in a picture. That way, you can, for example, create a diagnosis process
screen in which you can call the status of communication and other information
while in runtime without having to reconfigure this combination as required.
Protocol In addition, you can analyze the events also recorded in a *.log and *.trc.

Quality Code
WinCC Runtime must be activated in order to display the Quality Code.
SITRAIN
Handling If you point to a tag with the mouse while in Tag Management during WinCC
Runtime, a Quality Code appears. In addition to the current process value and the
time of the last change, an error code is displayed, e.g. Quality:8, - no connection
to PLC. This error code can be used to check the status and the quality of the tag.

Tags in C-Actions
Tags in actions can only then be found and replaced by the Cross Reference if the
configuration rules for tags and screen names predefined in the C-Scripts are
adhered to.
Configuration Rules for C-Scripts

// WINCC:TAGNAME_SECTION_START
// syntax: #define TagNameInAction "DMTagName„
// next TagID : 1
#define TAG_ SetM1 “SetM1„
// WINCC:TAGNAME_SECTION_END
// WINCC:PICNAME_SECTION_START
// syntax: #define PicNameInAction "PictureName„
// next PicID : 1
// WINCC:PICNAME_SECTION_END
SetTagDWord(TAG_ SetM1,100);
Note The configuration rules are already taken into consideration by the Dynamic
Wizards during generation of the scripts.
When you set up C-Scripts, a comment recognizes the configuration rules.
Screen names are to be written without the file extension ".PDL".
You can find further information in the WinCC Online Help under Contents,
Editors, Cross Reference.

Tag “P_setpoint_speed“ is automatically

listed in the Cross Reference.
SITRAIN
Tags in VBS Actions

With the WinCC CrossReference, you can also quickly find all Places of Use of
tags and screen names in VBS Actions. You can "rewire" tag triggers from actions
in the Graphics Designer with CrossReference; in other words, replace them with
other tags in all or in selected positions.
Configuration Rules for VBScripts

All tags that you address with the standard format
HMIRuntime.Tags("Tagname")
are automatically recorded by the WinCC CrossReference and are listed in the
screen properties.
Should you address tags with other formats in your code, you can access them
through the following section of the CrossReference:
'WINCC:TAGNAME_SECTION_START
'Const TagNameInAction = "TagName„
'WINCC:TAGNAME_SECTION_END
All screens that you address with the standard format

HMIRuntime.BaseScreenName("Screenname")
are automatically recorded by the WinCC CrossReference and are listed in the
screen properties.
Should you address screens with other formats in your code, you can access them
through the following section of the CrossReference:
'WINCC:SCREENNAME_SECTION_START
'Const ScreenNameInAction = "ScreenName„
'WINCC:SCREENNAME_SECTION_END
Note Screen names are to be written without the file extension ".PDL".

Tools: CrossReferenceAssistant
Call
SITRAIN
Objective A WinCC CrossReferenceAssistant, also included in the package, generates

comment and define lines in C-Action lists.
WinCC CrossReferenceAssistant is a tool which searches through scripts to find

screen (picture) names and tags and then modifies the associated scripts so that
the WinCC component, CrossReference, can find the screen (picture) names and
tags and list them in the Cross Reference List.
Note The Tool is installed from the WinCC DVD.

Tag Simulation 1/2
Simulation software on WinCC DVD

- Sine
- Oscillation
- Random numbers
- Increment
- Decrement
- Slider
Testing functions with internal and process tags.

Process tags can only be simulated if the communication
connection to the PLC has been made. Since the tag value in
the PLC can be changed by the simulation, you have to
take the necessary precautions (such as separating the load
current circuits).
SITRAIN
Simulation The simulation software provides the person configuring the system or the installer
with six different functions.
You can assign one of these six functions to each individual tag.
You can use these functions to supply the configured objects with realistic values.
Practical Functions
- Sine (as periodic, non-linear function).
- Oscillation (for simulating jumps of a reference input variable).
- Random numbers (provides you with randomly generated values).
- Increment (an up counter that begins again at the minimum value when it
reaches the maximum value).
- Decrement (a down counter that begins again at the maximum value when it
reaches the minimum value).
- Slider (a linear regulator that you can use to set a fixed value).
Note For installation, you can find this simulation program on your WinCC DVD.
To simulate process tags, you can also use the SIMATIC tool "PLCSIM", you do
not require SIMATIC hardware for PLCSIM.

Tag Simulation 2/2
Call
WinCC TAG Simulator
SITRAIN
Simulation All tags can be simulated during Runtime-mode with the simulation program
provided. The application is used for presentations and for testing functions.
Note Process tags can only be simulated if the communication connection to the PLC is
made. Since the tag value in the PLC can be changed by the simulation, you have
to take the necessary precautions (such as separating the load current circuits).
Simulating Tags
Creating tags for the tag table
1. Select M> Edit, O> New Tag
2. Enter the following settings in the properties window that is displayed

for example, Temperature 1,
the function, for example, Random,
Low Limit 0
High Limit 100
and then click (check mark) the ‘active’ check box.
Note The update time for tag values is 1 second. A change does not go into effect until
the function is activated.
A maximum of 300 tags can be configured.

Connection Status
SITRAIN
General Information If process tags or even internal tags are to be used in actions, you must read the
values via GetTag actions.
Permanent monitoring of the process connection from the PLC to WinCC can be
implemented with the GetTagState action (for example, a warning box pops up in
case of a fault or output a message).
Set Tag actions are made available for assigning the results of calculations.
The SetTagState action is available if the result of the SetTag action is to be
checked.
The success of a value change can be queried with the SetTagState action
(writing from WinCC to the PLC). This is especially important for process tags
because the most varied coupling faults can occur there.
The status is transferred as a bit register and can be either evaluated by the
Dynamic Dialog or by the status’ own actions.
Evaluation - available as a system function via display inactive. No configuration is required.
- definition of a substitute value for a process tag that pops up when there is a
connection error. The setting is made in the Limits/Reporting tab (see slide
above).
- the status of a process tag can also be evaluated with the Dynamic Dialog
(see the Chapter on Graphics Screens.
- available as a standard function in the Basic Process Control Package.
- configuration with Toggle in the Simatic program and output in WinCC,

for example.
- configuration using C-Scripts.

SITRAIN
Column B in the Symbol Table tells the program designer whether or not the
attribute has been set for operator control and monitoring.
Through the shortcut menu and the call of "Special Object Properties -> Operator
Control and Monitoring", the attribute can be set for every individual address.
This is necessary so that during compiling from S7, the tags in the Tag
Management of WinCC are created (generated).
The various possibilities of tag generation in WinCC are explained on the following
pages.
Note The Operator Control and Monitoring attributes are also set when tag generation
takes place from the WinCC side.

the compiling of symbols, the tags in the Tag Management of WinCC are created.
S7_m_c true You assign this attribute and value when the symbol is to be used for tag
generation.
The various possibilities of tag generation in WinCC are explained on the following
pages.
Note The operator control and monitoring attributes are also set when the symbol
selection takes place from the WinCC side.

Creating an S7 Program
SITRAIN
Using the symbols in the SIMATIC program.

Generating WinCC Tags
Compile Symbols
SITRAIN
There are three ways of generating connection data and tags. These are
presented on the fowling pages.
- from Step7 via the Wizard "Compile Multiple OSs" -> Start... (only if operator
control and monitoring attributes were set for the symbols)
- trigger from WinCC via "Transfer Data" (possible without setting attributes on
the S7 side manually)
- from WinCC automatically in the background (possible without setting attributes

on the S7 side manually)

Selecting the Subnet for Compiling
SITRAIN
Prerequisite: Operator control and monitoring attributes for symbols have been
set.
1. Via "Connection...", select MPI as your subnet for the transmission.

This selection causes the MPI connection to be generated in WinCC.
2. After pressing the "Next" button, select "Entire OS" and "With memory reset" in
the "Scope" area.
3. In the last Wizard screen, you start the compiling (transfer) function by pressing

„STEP7 Editing“
SITRAIN
Objective Define a network entry point with writing authority in STEP7.

In the WinCC User Administrator, a separate level for the STEP7 writing authority
is generated. The system then checks this level that is entered by the active user
before the network entry point is made and passes it as a flag to STEP7.
Depending on the status of this flag, the user has a read-only right or the authority
to change STEP7 data.
Configuration - In the User Administrator, create a function "STEP7 Writing Authority“.

- Call the Dynamic Wizard at a graphic object and assign parameters for the
function "Network Entry Point“.

Generating Reference Data for Network Entry Point
Actual reference data is needed

for WinCC „Network Entry Point“
function
SITRAIN
Reference data are used to update lists such as: Cross Reference lists,
Assignment lists, etc. The operand for the network entry point must exist in the
CPU‘s block. The reference data must be updated.

Network Entry Point to STEP 7 1/2
SITRAIN
Link a graphic object with an operand from the S7 program.

Network Entry Point to STEP 7 2/2
Script generated by
Dynamic Wizard
SITRAIN
For the network entry point with the Dynamic Wizard, select the event "Press right"
in the Wizard. The Wizard generates the script shown in the slide above. The
function can now be tested in Runtime.

Call of STEP7 Network from WinCC and Return to WinCC
Context
menu
SITRAIN
If the network entry point is triggered in WinCC, the window "Go To Location..." is
then called. If the operand is used in several blocks or networks, you can use the
list to select the block with which the LAD/FBD/STL Editor is to be started.
The function "Show Picture..." in WinCC is possible in all three STEP7
representations.

TIA Functionality, Hardware Diagnosis from WinCC Pictures
SITRAIN
The Hardware Diagnosis function enables you to start the STEP 7 Diagnosis
directly from WinCC pictures.
Depending on a configurable event, the STEP 7 "Diagnose Hardware" function is
started for the associated controller.

Configuring an Attribute for Hardware Diagnosis
SITRAIN
A process tag has to be parameterized for the attribute.

Configuration of the Event for Hardware Diagnosis
Script generated by Dynamic Wizard
Script has to be
changed to:
GetHWDiag
SITRAIN
Configuration No separate wizard currently exists for the jump to the Hardware Diagnosis. You
can however, use the wizard for the network entry point to configure the jump to
the hardware diagnosis. The jump to the hardware diagnosis can then be
configured in WinCC in an object generated in the Graphics Designer using the
"Network Entry Point" Dynamic Wizard. In a picture, insert the Windows object
"Button", for example. Start the Dynamic Wizard and select the "Network Entry
Point" from the "Standard Dynamics".
The function call created by the Dynamic Wizard has to be adjusted so that it
matches the one in the slide.

TIA Functionality, SIMATIC "Report System Error" in
WinCC Graphic Pictures
SITRAIN
"Report System Error" supports the components of S7-300 stations, S7-400

stations, DP Slaves and WinAC, provided that they support functions such as
diagnostic interrupt, insert/remove interrupt and channel-specific diagnosis.
With the function "Report System Error“, STEP 7 provides a user-friendly
opportunity to display the diagnostic information provided by the components in
the form of messages.
The blocks and message texts needed for this are automatically generated by
STEP 7. All the user has to do is download the generated blocks into the CPU and
transfer the texts to connected HMI devices.
Configuration In HW Config, select the CPU for which you want to configure the system error
reporting. Then choose the menu commands Options > Report System Error.
