Area of use
The MP 370 enables operating statuses, current process data and faults concerning a connected PLC to be graphically displayed and the relevant machine or system to be easily monitored and operated. The MP 370 has been conceived for easy machine operation and monitoring. It provides a realistic graphical representation of the machine or system to be monitored. They can be used, for example, in machine and apparatus construction sectors, in the printing and packing industries, in the automobile and electrical industries and in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The high degree of protection (IP65 on the front side) and non-implementation of moving storage media, such as hard disks and floppy disks, ensure the MP 370 is also suitable for use in hostile industrial environments and directly on site on the respective machine. Installation locations for the MP 370: S S Panels/Consoles 19 racks (keyboard units)
Connection options for external periphery units (keyboard, mouse and printer), e.g. via a USB interface, and the possible use of CF and PC boards support multifunctionality. Due to the fact that the MP 370 is equipped with high performance basic hardware and has a minimum installation depth means that it fulfills all the requirements for operation in the vicinity of the machine.

Initial Startup
When the MP 370 is started up for the first time, no configuration has been loaded on it. In order to download the necessary project data and the runtime software from the configuration computer to the operating units, proceed as follows, observing the sequence.
Step 1 Action Use a suitable standard cable to connect the MP 370 via the IF2 (serial), IF1B (MPI/PROFIBUS-DP), USB or Ethernet interfaces to the configuration computer according to the required download type. Downloading is also possible via modem. Default setting: Serial connection 2 3 Switch on the MP 370s power supply. When the unit is started up, it automatically switches from the Start menu to download mode. Press the Cancel button to access the Start menu and, from there, the Windows CE Control Panel. Check the settings defined for the interface in the download settings (serial, MPI, USB or Ethernet) and adapt them as necessary (refer to Chapter 3.4). Default setting: Serial connection 5 6 Close the Control Panel and activate download mode. Start downloading the configuration on the configuration computer. Further settings necessary on the configuration computer for the download operation are provided in the ProTool Configuring Windows-based Systems Users Guide. The configuration computer checks the connection to the MP 370. If the connection is not available or defective, the corresponding error message appears. If downloading from the configuration computer is terminated as a result of a compatibility conflict, the MP 370s operating system must be replaced (refer to Chapter 13). If the connection is correct, the project data is downloaded to the MP 370. Following successful downloading, the configuration is started and the unit displays the start screen of the configuration that has just been loaded.

Download settings
The MP 370 can be switched to download mode automatically when in normal operation as soon as downloading is started on the configuration computer connected to it. This option is particularly recommended for the test phase involving a new configuration project because the data is transferred without having to intervene on the MP 370. A condition for this is that the required connection is set in the Download option in the Windows CE Control Panel and the corresponding Remote Control function is activated. A detailed description of the possible download settings is provided on Page 3-7.
Recommendation
Following the start-up phase, switch the automatic download option off to prevent inadvertently switching the MP 370 to download mode in a system which is running. To do this, deactivate the Remote Control option in the download settings defined for the MP 370 (Figure 3-2, Page 3-7).

Notice Deactivate the Remote Control option when selecting the communication channel if a serial printer is connected to the MP 370.
Notice If no communication channel has been enabled using the Enable Channel option, it is not possible to download a configuration from the configuration computer to the MP 370.
Note The bus parameters for the MPI transfer (e.g. MPI address, baud rate, etc.) are read out of the configuration currently loaded on the MP 370. The settings for MPI transfer can be modified. To do this, stop the runtime, modify the settings and switch to download mode. When the runtime is subsequently started, the bus parameters are overwritten by values from the configuration.
Warning In the case of Profibus-DP, modifications here may only be made for start up purposes. Each modification of the settings for Profibus-DP, the operating units only set one corresponding standard bus parameter set. In unfavorable conditions, this can lead to faults on the DP bus. In order to calculate the bus parameters exactly, the entire bus topology must be known. Correct definition of the bus parameters for runtime is automatically ensured by the integrated operation of ProTool in STEP 7.
Note Modifications must not be carried out when the runtime is in operation or the unit is in download mode.
Note Downloading is not possible using an interface which is busy with another program.

Uploading
Purpose
During transfer, generally only the run-capable configuration (*.fwd) which has been generated is downloaded on the MP 370. If the original project file is to be used for further development of the configuration or for fault analysis, it must remain on the configuration computer. Not only the generated configuration can be stored on the MP 370, but also the source file (*), so that it can be retrieved (uploaded) from the MP 370 later, if necessary.
Advantage
After uploading a configuration, it can be analyzed and modified even if the original configuration computer cannot be accessed or the source file on it for the configuration is no longer available.
Conditions
The following conditions must be fulfilled in order to retrieve the source file from the run-capable project file: S S Sufficient memory space must be available on the MP 370 for the additional source file The storage location for the source file must be set on the MP 370 (refer to Page 3-9). The storage location can be defined separately: Network path or memory card Note The uploaded file is considerably larger than the run-capable configuration. The internal Flash memory is not large enough to store this file. S Transfer of the current project file from the configuration computer to the MP 370 must be performed using the Upload option. This option can be activated in ProTool CS via File Download Preferences.

Overview
This chapter describes the general operation procedures for the MP 370 touch panel model. Information on the general operation procedures for the keyboard model is provided in Chapter 4.2. The MP 370 screen is used to observe the operating status of the machine or system being monitored and, at the same time, to intervene directly in the process running simply by touching the buttons and input fields displayed on it. Information regarding operation of screens and screen objects is provided in Chapter 5.
4.1.1
Definition
Touch elements are contact-sensitive operating elements provided on the MP 370 screen, such as buttons, input fields and message windows. Their operation is basically no different from pressing conventional keys. Touch elements are operated by touching them lightly with a finger. Caution Be sure to touch only one screen element of the MP 370. Never touch more than one touch element at a time. Otherwise, an action may be unintentionally initiated.
Caution Never use pointed or sharp instruments to operate the MP 370 to prevent damage to the plastic surface of the touch screen.
Direct key
In the case of a DP connection, buttons can be configured as direct keys in order to achieve fast keyboard operation. Fast key operation is a condition for Jogging mode (Inching mode), for example. PROFIBUS direct keys set bits in the I/O area of a SIMATIC S7 directly from the MP 370.

Release 09/02
Operation acknowledgement
As soon as the MP 370 detects contact has been made on a touch element, it responds with an optical and acoustic acknowledgement. An acknowledgment is independent of communication with the PLC. It is not an indication of the required action actually having been executed.
Acoustic acknowledgement
As soon as the MP 370 detects contact has been made on a touch element, it responds with an acoustic signal. This acoustic signal can be deactivated if required (Page 8-11).
Optical acknowledgement
The type of visual acknowledgement is dependent on the operating element touched: S Buttons In the case of 3D-effect configurations, visual representation is distinguished according to the statuses touched and untouched. The figures below illustrated examples of representation by means of the Status button:
Touched
Untouched
The way in which the selected field appears on the screen can be configured (line widths 1 - 10 for the focus and the color of the frame). S Hidden buttons The focus for hidden buttons does not appear following selection (value for the focus line width is 0 , default setting). If the value for the focus width is changed, the dotted outline of the button changes to a line when touched. The outlines remain visible until the focus is moved to another operating element. Input fields After touching an input field, the screen keyboard appears as the operation acknowledgement.
Screen keyboard
In order to enter values, the MP 370 automatically displays a screen keyboard within the ProTool configuration after touching an input field, for example. The screen keyboard is also displayed automatically if a password needs to be entered in order to activate a password protected function (also refer to Page 5-40). After completing the input, the screen keyboard is automatically hidden.
4-3
Release 09/02
The screen keyboard can be activated in the following ways: S S The screen keyboard is always displayed during runtime as soon as the operator selects an input field (default setting). A button is configured with which the user can automatically activate or deactivate the appearance of the screen keyboard as necessary. This is useful, for example, when an external keyboard is connected to the operating unit rendering the screen keyboard unnecessary. Configure a button, call in the context menu and select the Properties dialog. In the Functions tab control, select click as the event and assign this event to the Use_Screen_Keyboard_On/Off function in the Keyboard category. During runtime, the operator can use the button to activate or deactivate the mechanism controlling the appearance of the screen keyboard. S The screen keyboard is activated via the corresponding icon in the toolbar (refer to Chapter 4). The position of the screen keyboard can be defined in the Input Panel option in the Windows CE Control Panel.
Note Use the Start Screen Keyboard function to display the screen keyboard permanently. The screen keyboard remains visible until it is explicitly closed by the user. It can, thus, be used for input in other applications.
Depending on the input field configured, the screen keyboard button provides buttons for purely numeric input or alphanumeric values.

In this chapter
Operation of the visualization processes on the MP 370 is dependent on the configuration created with the ProTool CS configuration software.This chapter provides general information on screens and on operating predefined screen objects for touch panels and keyboard units. Information on the general operation procedures for the touch panel model is provided in Chapter 4.1. Information on the general operation procedures for the keyboard units is provided in Chapter 4.2.
5.1
Operating Screens
What is a screen?
Screens visualize the progress of processes and display specified process values. A screen contains logically related process data which the MP 370 can both display and modify by operating the individual values. Screens display the current process status in the form of numeric values, bar graphs or trend curves for example. Dynamic screen objects enable, for instance, the current position of a production process to be tracked on the MP 370.
Screen partitions
A screen is basically composed of static and dynamic sections. The terms static and dynamic do not refer to the possibility of dynamically positioning screen partitions but to the connection to the PLC. Static partitions, e.g. text and graphics, are not updated by the PLC. Dynamic partitions, e.g. input and output fields, trend curves and bars, are linked to the PLC and display current values constantly read in from the PLC memory. Their connection to the PLC is established by means of tags. A summary of all the screen objects which a ProTool configuration may contain for an MP 370 is provided from Page 5-6. The display area of a screen can be divided into various areas. These areas are either moveable (message area and message indicator) or fixed (fixed window, icons for function keys).

Fixed window
The fixed window is an area at the top of the screen. The height of the fixed window can be configured. Since the content of the fixed window is independent of the screen currently displayed, it is especially suited for displaying important process magnitudes or date and time. An operating element configured in the fixed window is available in every screen. In the case of a touch panel, a button located in the fixed window can represent a globally effective function key.
Message indicator
The message indicator is a configurable graphical symbol which is displayed on the screen when at least one alarm message is present or needs to be acknowledged on the MP 370. The indicator continues to blink as long as unacknowledged messages are present. The number (in this case 3) represents the number of alarm messages present. The message indicator can be operated on touch panels. Operate message indicator on touch panels: The response of the message indicator is dependent on whether or not alarm messages are present on the MP 370 which still have to be acknowledged at the moment the indicator is touched. S Alarm messages to be acknowledges (message indicator flashing): The alarm message window opens on touching the message indicator (Page 5-25). No alarm messages to be acknowledged: The alarm message window opens on touching the message indicator (Page 5-27). Use the button illustrated to close the alarm window on touch panels in order to operate screens. The alarm message window can be opened again by touching the message indicator. In the case of keyboard units, the messages must be acknowledged by pressing the ACK button.

Purpose
Operable screen objects, such as input fields and buttons, can be assigned passwords during configuration to prevent them being modified by unauthorized personnel. Important parameters and settings can then only be modified by authorized personnel. Information on the Password List screen object is provided on Page 5-40.
Login
In order to access password protected operating elements, it is necessary to log in on the MP 370. If an element is operated which is protected by a password, the login window automatically appears. In addition, the Logon_User function can be linked to an input field, for example, in the configuration. The user then has access to all the protected operating elements on the MP 370 for which the password is valid until logging off. When correspondingly configured, it is also possible to log on via an input field for confidential password entry (Page 5-10). The character string entered is represented by placeholders (*).
Logoff
In order to rule out operation by unauthorized personnel, the login should not remain active on the operating unit for too long a period of time. The following options are available with which to log off from the MP 370: S Configured logout time expires If the MP 370 is not operated by the user within a configured period (logout time), the user is automatically logged off Log out of the operating unit If the configuration links the function Logoff_User with an operating element, the element can be used log off from the MP 370.

After pressing the button, the functions configured for the event press are triggered. On releasing the button, the functions configured for the event release are triggered.
Bars represent values from the PLC as rectangular areas. The MP 370 thus provides a clear indication of how far the current value is from the limit values, or if a setpoint value has been reached, at a glance. Bars are often used to represent fill levels or workpiece numbers. Direction, scaling, bar and background color and labeling the Y-axis can be configured as required. In order to identify limit values, limit value lines can be called in.
A trend view provides a particularly clear representation of process data when displayed as a continual progression. Several different trends can be displayed simultaneously in the trend view, e.g. current and archived trend curves.
Use a slider control to enter and display numeric values in analog form. To enter values, move the slider to the required position. When used as a display element, the value is represented by the position of the slider.
Message view (Page 5-30) Single message view (Page 5-31) Status/Force (Page 5-44)
Special filter criteria are configured in the message view for displaying the volatile message buffer and/or message archive. A single message display can provide a subset of the functionality of a message display. It can be used, for example, to simply realize a message line in a screen. By implementing Status/Force, the MP 370 can be used to access the connected PLC (SIMATIC S5 and SIMATIC S7) in order to read and write values directly. PLC operands can be monitored and modified without having to connect an additional programming unit or PC to the PLC. This facility is of special use during the testing and commissioning phases of the configuration.

Purpose
Status Button
The Status button is an operating and display element with the two states Pressed and Released. Status buttons indicate the status of a device which cannot be determined from the MP 370 (e.g. a motor). At the same time, it is also possible to change the status of the device concerned on the MP 370.
Behavior
The behavior of the Status button can be configured: S Switch: The switch has two stable states. It toggles from one state to the other each time it is operated, and remains in the respective state until it is operated again. Key: The button has a fixed, stable home position. When operated, it switches to the status pressed and remains in this state as long as it is kept pressed. When released, it automatically switches back to its released position.
Functions which have been assigned to the Status button can be triggered, for example, by the following configurable events: S S S Status change Pressing Releasing
If the status of a switch type Status button changes as a result of a modification of configured tags, not through operation, the corresponding function is not executed.
Display
The two indicator statuses of the types Switch and Button with acknowledgement can be assigned different texts or graphics in ProTool CS which are then displayed on the Status button during runtime. Figure 5-3 illustrates an example of a Status button of the type Switch when pressed (left) and not pressed (right).

Purpose
Switch
A switch serves for the input and output of a binary status. It can only be switched on or off. It is linked to a tag to do this. The status OFF corresponds to the value 0 (a logical FALSE) of the tag linked to the switch. All tag values other than zero (a logical TRUE) are interpreted as the status ON.
Behavior
Functions which have been assigned to the switch, can be triggered, for example, by the following, configurable events: S S S Status change Switched on Switched off
If the switch status changes as a result of a modification of configured tags, not through operation, the corresponding function is not executed.

Messages
Message categories
Messages on the MP 370 indicate events and statuses related to control processes. The MP 370 differentiates between the following message categories: S Event messages indicate a status in the process, for example, Motor ON. Event messages are configured. Alarm messages indicate an equipment failure, for example, Motor temperature too high. Alarm messages are configured. Alarm messages must be acknowledged due to their critical nature. HMI system messages are triggered by the MP 370. They are not configured. System messages indicate, for example, incorrect operations or communication faults. A selection of important system messages is provided in Appendix C. SIMATIC diagnostic events provide information on the status of the SIMATIC S7 and SIMOTION. They are not configured in the ProTool CS configuration software. Refer to the S7 manual for the error number indicated on the MP 370 to determine the cause of the error.
5-21
Release 09/02
If several messages are displayed at the same time and the user acknowledges alarm messages, the acknowledgement acts in hierarchical sequence on the various message displays: 1. Message display with focus 2. Alarm window 3. Message line 4. Message display in basic screen When configuring messages, it is possible to define whether the operator must acknowledge each message individually or whether the acknowledgement is valid for a group of messages (group acknowledgement). The use of group acknowledgement in respect of messages is particularly useful when they relate to the same cause, e.g. the messages for the first-up fault and the follow-up faults.
Buffering messages
All message events (arrived, departed, acknowledged) are stored in an internal volatile buffer. If a message archive has been configured, the message events are also stored in this message archive.
Display messages
The events stored in the message buffer can be displayed according to different criteria. The following predefined objects are available for display purposes: S S S S S Message line (Page 5-25) Message window (Page 5-25) Message page (Page 5-27) Message buffer (Page 5-28) Message view Message display with full functionality (Page 5-30) Single message display with restricted functionality (Page 5-31)

Release 09/02
Deleting messages
All message events concerning event and alarm messages are automatically stored in the message buffer. There are two methods of deleting message events from the message buffer: S Automatic deletion on buffer overflow When the message buffer is no longer capable of accepting new message events, the MP 370 automatically deletes a number of message events until the configured remaining buffer capacity is reached. In this case, the oldest message events are deleted first. Deletion by operating the MP 370 In order that message events can be deleted manually from the message buffer, the function Delete_message_buffer must be defined in the configuration, e.g. linked to a button or function key. In this way, the following message categories can be selected for deletion according to the configuration: All messages Alarm messages Event messages HMI system messages SIMATIC diagnostic events
Print messages
When correspondingly configured, event messages can be printed out directly when the message events Arrived and Departed occur, and also alarm messages when the event Acknowledged occurs. System messages are not logged. Information on setting printer parameters is provided in Chapter 8.

5.11.1
ALARM_S
Definition
ALARM_S is a message number procedure. The message identification numbers are assigned automatically by the configuration in STEP 7 or SIMOTION SCOUT. The unique assignment of the message text is made according to these numbers. The advantage here is that the message texts can be used on various operating units but only need to be entered once. If a fault occurs, the operating unit receives the message by means of the message number. The associated message is determined and issued according to the number. In addition to the message status (arrived, cleared, acknowledged), the PLC also stores time. This information is retained even after the message has been sent, so that individual network components (e.g. operating units) can log on later and be updated.
Restarting S7 CPUs
Depending on the hardware configuration of the CPUs, it is possible that under certain circumstances all queued ALARM_S messages will be deleted when S7 CPUs are restarted. Older stocks of S7 300 CPUs cannot inform the operating units involved of the restart. The result of this is that messages are indicated on the operating unit as being queued although the CPU has already deleted them. Remedy: Disconnect the connection between the operating unit and CPU and then reconnect them again. Use the function Connect_Disconnect_PLC if configured.

Purpose
Message line
When a message line has been configured it is always displayed, regardless of the screen selected. The message line displays the last alarm or event message received. The message line is a permanent feature on the MP 370 and always displays the current message. If a separate window has been configured for alarm messages, the message line only receives the current event message.
Display priorities
Alarm messages always have priority over event messages. If no alarm messages are present or they have all been acknowledged, event messages are displayed. In order to differentiate between event and alarm messages, alarm messages can be configured to flash in the display.
5.11.3
Purpose
Message window
The message window displays all messages in the respective message categories which are queued or need to be acknowledged. It is possible to configure how the alarm messages are sorted. It is also possible to select whether the latest or oldest message is displayed first.

Purpose
Trend View
The trend view is a particularly clear form of displaying process data in a continuous manner. In the case of processes that only change slowly, the trend view can visualize events that have already occurred and provides access to, and estimate of trends in the process sequence. On the other hand, data issued concerning processes which run quickly can be easily evaluated using this form of trend view.
Configurable properties
A number of different trends can be displayed simultaneously in the trend view. The following properties are among those which can be configured for a trend graphic: S S S Trend Type: Realtime trend or History trend Triggering: Cycle triggering or Bit triggering Limit values: Upper and lower limits The MP 370 displays the points at which configured limit values are reached or exceeded by changing the color of the trend display. Color: Uncertain status The uncertain status function highlights areas of the trend view in which communication to the unit was interrupted and, as a result, no values could be recorded.
Read line
The read line function is used in a trend graphic to display or hide a read line which displays Y-values associated to an X-value. The read line can be activated by means of the Trend_view_read_mark_on_off function or the X-axis tab control of the trend view Properties dialog (default: Off). When the function is activated, a button is provided in the trend view with which to activate and deactivate the read line. The color of the read line can be configured in the Color tab control. If the Display Values Table function is activated in the Value Table tab control, a table appears in the trend view containing the values of the trend curve displayed. The read line can be operated in the trend view by means of touch, mouse (cursor), keyboard (Ctrl + Alt + cursor right/left) or button. It is also possible to configure buttons for the functions Trend_view_read_mark_forward and Trend_view_read_mark_backward. When the read line is moved, the values in the value table (when activated) are automatically updated accordingly.

Password List
Purpose
While the system is being configured using ProTool CS, additional operating elements can be protected against unauthorized use by means of passwords. Important parameters and settings can then only be modified by authorized personnel. The password level and user name are stored with the password. The Report_password_change function causes a system message to be issued when a different password is entered on the operating unit, i.e. a new user logs on. If the system messages are archived, all login and logout procedures can be established. The Write_user_name_to_tag function is used to write the name of the user currently logged on into a tag of type STRING. If the tag is one with a PLC link, the user name also exists in the PLC and can be used for the user-dependent enabling of certain functions. User names must always be unique for the assignment. They are stored in a password file.
Password hierarchy
Hierarchically defined password levels from 0 to 9 exist for password protection purposes. When a password is assigned to an individual user or to a whole user group, the permission to execute functions at a specific level is assigned simultaneously. If, for example, a user is assigned to password level 4, he or she is authorized to execute functions of password levels 0 to 4.
Password level
Password level 0: This minimum password level is assigned to functions that have no, or only a minimal effect on the course of the process. In order to trigger functions assigned to Password Level 0, no password needs to be entered. Password levels 1 to 8: Functions are assigned to levels 1 to 8 according to their increasing importance. Before triggering a function with a password level greater than 0, the MP 370 requests the corresponding password to be entered. Password level 9: Only the supervisor (system support specialist or service technician) is granted authorization to execute functions assigned to password level 9. The supervisor is authorized to access all the functions on the MP 370.

Recipe Recipes correspond to the individual drawers of the filing cabinet illustrated (e.g. grapefruit or lemon). The reference value fields (tags) belonging to the particular recipe are defined in each drawer. The recipes define the data structure in ProTool CS. This structure cannot be modified later on the MP 370. Data record Data records correspond to the filing cards in the individual drawers of the cabinet (e.g. Drink, Juice and Nectar). A data record contains the values for a recipe. Data records are created, modified and deleted on the MP 370. The data records are also stored on the MP 370. This saves storage space on the PLC. The Import/Export function provides the additional option of using external tools to edit exported data records, e.g. using Excel and then reimporting them on the MP 370.
Example of a recipe
An example for use of a recipe is its application on a filling station of a fruit juice system. The same filling station is used to produce orange drink, orange juice and orange nectar. The mixing ratios are different for each product. The ingredients are always the same. Assume that a recipe called Mixture is created, which has the following data structure:
Tag Var_2 Var_3 Var_4 Var_5 l orange l water kg sugar g flavor Name
The designations l Orange, g Aroma etc. of the tags are the so called entry names. The entry names are also displayed on the MP 370. In this way, for example, the tag Var_2 can be identified as the tag designating the mixture component Orange. The data records contain the values for the different drink types. The data records may appear as follows, for instance:
Orange drink l orange l water kg sugar g flavor 90 10 1.5 200 Orange juice l orange l water kg sugar g flavor 95 5 0.5 100 Orange nectar l orange l water kg sugar g flavor 70 30 1.5 400

Use of Recipes
The following section contains a description of the data flow for recipes and three application scenarios illustrating the use of recipes in the form of short, practical examples. They should provide a top level overview of the possibilities for using recipes: S The first scenario illustrates a recipe configuration in which the data entered is not immediately transferred to the PLC. This configuration is used, for example, when it is necessary to enter data on the operating unit without interfering with an active process. In the second scenario, data is immediately transferred to the PLC. This configuration can be used, for example, to start up a machine and correct the positioning data online. The third scenario implements data record functions in order to control production automatically via a job list.

The data record can be exported to an external data medium (C), e.g. a PC. The data record is saved in CSV format, regardless of the recipe. This file can then be loaded and edited in MS Excel, for example. A data record can be loaded (2) from the operating unit storage medium or import (1) it as a *.CSV file from an external data medium.
A recipe data record can also be transferred (4) directly from the storage medium to the PLC or loaded from the PLC to the storage medium. In the same way, a recipe in the display can be transferred (3) to the PLC or loaded from it.

Recipe Configuration
Basic procedure
The basic steps to configuring a recipe are listed below: 1. Define the structure of the recipe: Assign tags to the recipe structure. These tags are provided with entries from the data records. Define a name for the recipe. This name is used to select the recipe in the configuration and on the MP 370. 2. Set recipe tag properties The following options can be configured in ProTool CS: Synchronize tags This option defines that the data from a data record has been read from the PLC or data medium and written in the tag or read from the tags configured for the recipe. This establishes a connection between the tags configured in the recipe and the tags in the screens. When a data record is loaded, the values are written to the tags used in the screens. Tags offline If this option is also activated, the values entered are only stored in the tags, and not transferred to the PLC. Otherwise, values entered are transferred directly to the PLC. 3. Define storage location for data records on the MP 370 The data storage location for data records can be configured. The following settings are possible: Storage location Internal Flash memory Memory card S PC card S CF card Network Setting in ProTool CS \Flash\...
Caution Cyclical writing access is not permitted for the internal Flash memory because it reduces the service life of the Flash memory and thus the service life of the unit. Use an external memory card instead.

4. Set download synchronization It is possible to configure whether the data records are downloaded to the PLC with or without synchronization. 5. Creating a recipe screen Configure one or more screens in order to create, store, and download data records on the MP 370. Depending on the application, use either the recipe view or create a copy of the system, e.g. using input/output fields in recipe screens. Recipe view: The recipe view enables an uncomplicated, quick method of handling recipes and data records with a minimum of configuration work. Normally, they are used to process data records with smaller recipes in table form. Recipe screen: The operator can use recipe screens to customize the user interface for editing data records and, for example, simulating the system visually, providing graphics and individual masks for entering data records. Recipe screens are particularly recommended for data records with a relatively large number of entries.

Methods
Data records can be edited on the MP 370 in tables or screens: S Tabular editing The recipe view is available for the tabular editing of data records (Page 6-11). The recipe view enables recipes and data records to be handled in an uncomplicated, quick way. Normally, they are used to process data records with smaller recipes offline. Values entered on the MP 370 are not directly transferred to the PLC when entered. Editing in recipe screens The project engineer can use recipe screens (Page 6-19) to customize the user interface for editing data records and, for example, simulating the system visually, providing graphics and individual masks for entering data records. This method is typically used for processing medium and large data records offline in the recipe view. The values entered on the MP 370 are only saved in the tags, but not transferred directly to the PLC on input.

Archives
Overview
Process data can be archived on the MP 370, i.e. stored permanently and evaluated. Different archives are possible depending on the process data stored: S Message archive Message archives are used to store message events from one or more message categories (e.g. event messages/alarm messages/system messages). However, each message category can only be assigned to one specific archive. The message archive can be used, for example, to store login and logout procedures on the operating unit as system messages. In this way, it is possible to determine which user is currently logging in on an operating unit at any time. S Tag archive A tag archive contains the values from one or more tags at specific points of time. However, each tag can only be assigned to one specific archive. The properties of an archive, e.g. memory location and archive size, is defined by the configuration planner in ProTool CS.

Archives
Release 09/02
Storage location
The memory location for archive files is defined during configuration. Possible targets are: S S Memory card (PC and/or CF card) Any path in the network
Caution The internal Flash memory is not permissible as the memory location for archive files because cyclic archiving reduces the service life of the Flash memory and thus, that of the MP 370.
Archive functions
The following functions are available in the ProTool CS configuration software in order to be able to work with archives on the MP 370: S S Open_archive The connection between the MP 370 and all archive files is established. Close_archive All archive files are closed and the connection between the MP 370 and all archive files is disconnected. A memory card can then be removed or exchanges without any risks involved. Archive files queued during this time are puffered, up to a limit of 512 entries. Copy_archive The content of an archive is copied to another archive. This enables backup copies of archives to be produced. Start_archive, Stop_archive Starts or stops the archiving process in the selected archive. Normally, messages and tags are archived throughout the entire process. The function can be used to start the archiving to the specified archive by pressing an operating element on the operating unit and stopped with the Stop_archive function. Delete_archive Deletes all the entries in the selected archive. Start_sequence_archive Switches from the current archive to the following one. If no sequence archive has been configured, the function is not executed. Archive_tag Archives the status of a tag in the archive configured for the tag. This function can be used to trigger the archiving of a tag to the specified archive by pressing an operating element on the MP 370. The archive must have been started beforehand.

functionality (the MP 370 only has client functionality). It is not possible to access MP 370 files on a PC connected via Ethernet.
Condition
Within a TCP/IP network, computers are addressed by means of network names. These network names are translated from a DNS or WINS server to TCP/IP addresses. Direct addressing via TCP/IP addresses is not currently supported by the operating system. Therefore, to ensure the functionality of the MP 370 in a TCP/IP network, it is useful to employ a DNS or WINS server. Appropriate servers are available in common TCP/IP networks. Please contact your network administrator.

Overview
The MP 370 must be appropriately configured before setting into network operation. The configuration is basically divided into the following steps: S S S S Set computer name of the MP 370 Configure network address Set login information Save settings
Preparation
Before beginning with the configuration, request the specific network parameters from the network administrator. The following information is of particular interest: S S S S Does the network use DHCP for dynamic assignment of network addresses? If not: Instigate the assignment of a new TCP/IP network address for the MP 370. What is the TCP/IP address of the default gateway? What are the DNS addresses of the name server? (if DNS is used in the network) Which WINS addresses has the name server? (if WINS is used in the network)
Procedure
The following instructions describe how to define the general settings step by step. Additional steps or procedures may be necessary depending on the network infrastructure.
Step Open Control Panel 1 Open the Control Panel as described on Page 8-4. Procedure
Set computer name of the operating unit 2 In order to identify the MP 370 within the network, it must be assigned a unique name (device name) within the network using the Control Panel option Communication. Apply the settings and close the dialog by pressing ENTER. Configure network address 3 Use the Network option to call in the network configuration. Select an appropriate network driver in the Adapters tab control. When using operating units with an integrated Ethernet card, use Onboard LAN, with network cards, normally use the NE2000-compatible driver.

Procedure
In order to be able to use the network functions in the ProTool CS configuration software, it is only necessary to specify the relevant UNC assigned names at those points where paths have been entered for files or directories. S Example 1: Archives If, for example, it is necessary to carry out archiving on the server in the example above (Step 2 in the table on Page 8-18), replace the predefined archive memory location \Storage Card\ProCSVarc by the UNC assigned name for the server, i.e. \\mrnbg2\daten\ProCSVarc. Example 2: Recipe data records In order to store recipe data records in the network, replace the predefined path name \Flash\ProCSVdata by the UNC assigned name for the server, i.e. \\mrnbg2\daten\ProCSVarc. The same applies for exporting and importing recipe data records using the functions Export_Data_Records and Import_Data_Records. In this case, too, replace the parameter File name with the UNC assigned name for the server.

In this chapter
This chapter contains a selection of important HMI system messages for Windows-based systems. The table indicates when the messages occur and how they, or their cause, can be cleared. Not every message is relevant for each operating unit.
Number 10000
Effect/Cause The print job could not be started or was terminated for an unknown reason. The printer is incorrectly configured. Or: There are no rights for a network printer available.
Remedy Check the printer settings and cable connections. If a fault occurs repeatedly, contact the hotline. Install a printer and/or mark one as standard printer. Do not issue print jobs so quickly in succession. Do not issue print jobs so quickly in succession.
No printer has been installed or no standard printer configured. The intermediate buffer for printing graphics is full. Up to two graphics can be buffered. Graphics can be buffered again. The intermediate buffer for printing lines in text mode (e.g. messages) is full. Up to 1000 lines can be buffered. Lines of text can be buffered again.
10005 10006
The Windows print system reports an error. Repeat the action, if necessary. For information on the cause, refer to the text printed and, if available, the error number. Printing is not performed or it is incorrect.
C-1
Release 09/02
Number 20010
Effect/Cause A fault has occurred in the script line called in from the specified script. Execution of the script function was, therefore, terminated. In this case, it is advisable to check any previous system messages too.
Remedy Select the specified script line in the configuration. Check tags, whether the types used are permissible. Check Functions, whether the number and types of parameter are correct. Select the scripts from the configuration which are called in directly or indirectly via the specified script. Check tags, whether the types used are permissible. Check Functions, whether the number and types of parameter are correct. Compile the configuration again. Re-install ProTool/Pro RT. Select the specified script in the configuration. Check whether the script name has been assigned a value. Check where the scripts are being triggered from. Extend the times, e.g. the polling time of the tags, which trigger the scripts.
20011
An error has occurred in a script called in by the script specified. Execution of the script function- has, therefore, been terminated in the subscript. In this case, it is advisable to check any previous system messages too.
Inconsistent configuration data is present. Therefore, the script could not be created. VBScript.dll is not correctly installed. Therefore, no scripts can be executed. A value is returned by the script function which is not written in any configured return tag. Too many scripts have been triggered in quick succession. If more than 20 scripts are queued to be processed, any subsequent scripts are rejected. In this case, the script indicated in the message is not executed. The tag could not accept the function result, e.g. in the case of exceeding the value range.

Number 60000
Effect/Cause This message is generated by the function Display system messages. The text to be displayed is transferred to the function as a parameter. The file could not be copied in the direction defined because one of the two files is currently open or the source/target path is not available. It is possible that the Windows NT user has no access rights to one of the two files.
Remedy
60010
Restart the function or check the paths of the source/target files. Using Windows NT with NTFS: The user executing ProTool/Pro RT must be granted access rights for the files. Check the path of the source/target file. Using Windows NT with NTFS: The user executing ProTool/Pro RT must be granted access rights for the files. Check whether the application exists in the specified path or close other applications.
60011
An attempt was made to copy a file to itself. It is possible that the Windows NT user has no access rights to one of the two files.
70010
The application could not be started because it could not be found in the path specified or insufficient memory space was available. The system time could not be modified. The error message only appears in connection with area pointer Date/Time PLC. Possible causes:
70011
Check the time which is to be set. Under Windows NT: The user executing ProTool/Pro RT must be assigned the rights to modify the system time from Windows NT (administration/user manager, guidelines).

Number 70016
Effect/Cause An attempt was made to select a screen by means of a function or job. This is not possible because the screen number specified does not exist. Or: a screen could not be generated due to insufficient system memory.
Remedy Check the screen number in the function or job with the screen numbers configured. Refer the number to a screen, if necessary.
70017
Date/Time is not read from the area pointer because the address set in the PLC is either not available or has not been set up. Acknowledgement that the password list has been successfully imported. Acknowledgement that the password list has been successfully exported. Acknowledgement for activation of message recording. Acknowledgement for deactivation of message recording. Acknowledgement to starting the Import Password List action. Acknowledgement to starting the Export Password List action. Backing up the RAM file system has been started.
Backing up of the RAM file system has been completed successfully. The files from the RAM have been copied in the Flash memory. Following a restart, these saved files will be copied back in the RAM file system.
70029
Backup of the RAM file system has failed. No backup copy of the RAM file system has been made.
Check the settings in the OP Properties dialog and save the RAM file system using the Save Files button in the Persistent Storage tab control. Compare the parameters configured for the function with the parameters configured for the PLC and correct them as necessary. Compare the S7 PLC name parameter configured for the function with the parameters configured for the PLC and correct them as necessary. Store the file or table by executing a move or copy function.
70030
The parameters configured for the function are faulty. The connection to the new PLC was not established.
70031
The PLC configured in the function is not an S7 PLC. The connection to the new PLC was not established.
80001
The archive specified is filled to the size defined (in percent) and must be stored elsewhere. A line is missing in the specified archive.
80002
C-4
Release 09/02
Number 80003
Effect/Cause The copying process for archiving was not successful. In this case, it is advisable to check any subsequent system messages, too.
Remedy
80006
Since archiving is not possible, this causes a permanent loss of the functionality. A copying action has been completed successfully. Since the path was incorrectly entered in ProTool, this causes a permanent loss of the functionality. Archive values are stored in a buffer. If the values are read to the buffer faster than they can be physically written (e.g. using a hard disk), overloading may occur and recording is then stopped. The overload status no longer applies. Archiving resumes the recording of all values.
In the case of databases, check whether the corresponding data source exists and start up the system again. Configure the path for the respective archive again and restart the system when the full functionality is required. Archive less values. Or increase the recording interval.
80009 80010
80012
80013
80014
The same action was triggered twice in quick succession. Since the process is already in operation, the action is only carried out once. The archives are separated by the function Close archive and the incoming entries exceed the defined buffer size. All the jobs in the buffer are deleted. The incoming entries cause the defined buffer size to be exceeded. This can be caused, e.g. by several copying actions being activated at the same time. All the copy jobs in the buffer are deleted. All the archives are reconnected by means of the DB layer, e.g. after executing the function Open_archive. Values are then written back into the tables. All the archives are separated from the DB layer and all connections terminated, e.g. after executing the function Close_archive. Values are temporarily buffered and written in the tables when the connection is re-established. There is no connection to the storage medium and a change can take place. Reconnect the archives.

Release 09/02
Number 80021
Effect/Cause An attempt was made to delete an archive which is still involved with a copy action. Deletion has not been executed. An attempt was made to start a sequence archive, which is not a sequence archive, from an archive using the function Start_sequence_archive. No sequence archive is created.
Remedy Wait until the current copying action has been completed and restart the last action. Check the project for the following:

Check the configuration, the ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) and the specified drive.
C-6
Release 09/02
Number 80030
Effect/Cause The structure of the table(s) available does not match the archiving structure expected. The archiving process is stopped for this archive.
80032
Archives can be configured with a function trigger. This is triggered as son as the archive is full. If runtime is started and the archive is already full, the trigger function will not be initiated. The archive specified no longer archives data since it is full.
Stop the runtime, delete the archive and restart the runtime again. Or: Configure a button in the runtime which contains the same actions as the function trigger and press it. Check the connection to the PLCs. Check whether the address area for the area pointer Coordination in the PLC is available.
The operating mode status has been changed. The operating mode is now offline. The operating mode status has been changed. The operating mode is now online. The operating mode status has not been changed.
110003
The operating status of the PLC specified is changed by the function Connect/Disconnect PLC. The operating mode is now offline. The operating status of the PLC specified is changed by the function Connect/Disconnect PLC. The operating mode is now online. An attempt was made to use the function Connect/Disconnect PLC to switch the specified PLC to operating mode online although the entire system is in operating mode Offline. This switch-over is not permissible. The PLC remains in operating mode offline. The Colorado system has been extended by the addition of the User Version area pointer. If the user version is not correct, the runtime is stopped. Switch the complete system to operating mode online and execute the function again.
110004

Number 140012
Effect/Cause There is an initialization problem (e.g. when ProTool/Pro RT has been terminated in the Task Manager). Or: another application (e.g. STEP7, WINCC) is active with different bus parameters and the driver cannot be started with the new bus parameters (e.g. baud rate).
Remedy Restart the operating unit. Or start ProTool/Pro RT first and then the other applications.
The MPI cable is not plugged in and, thus, there is no power supply. Incorrect baud rate Or: incorrect bus parameter (e.g. HSA) Or: OP address HSA Or: incorrect interrupt vector (interrupt does not arrive at the driver)
Check the connections. Modify the operating unit address in the configuration in PLC. Correct the incorrect parameters.
The consistency check was deactivated by Simotion Scout. Only one appropriate note appears. Simotion Scout loads a new project in the PLC. Connection to the PLC is interrupted. The version in the PLC and that in the configuration (FWD file) do not match. Connection to the PLC is interrupted.

ESD Guidelines
What does ESD mean? Virtually all present-day modules incorporate highly integrated MOS devices or components. For technological reasons, these electronic components are very sensitive to overvoltages and consequently therefore to electrostatic discharge: These devices are referred to in German as Elektrostatisch Gefhrdeten Bauelemente/ Baugruppen: EGB The more frequent international name is: ESD (Electrostatic Sensitive Device) The following symbol on plates on cabinets, mounting racks or packages draws attention to the use of electrostatic sensitive devices and thus to the contact sensitivity of the assemblies concerned:
ESDs may be destroyed by voltages and energies well below the perception threshold of persons. Voltages of this kind occur as soon as a device or an assembly is touched by a person who is not electrostatically discharged . Devices exposed to such overvoltages cannot immediately be detected as defective in the majority of cases since faulty behavior may occur only after a long period of operation.
Precautions against electrostatic discharge Most plastics are capable of carrying high charges and it is therefore imperative that they be kept away from sensitive components. When handling electrostatic sensitive devices, make sure that persons, workplaces and packages are properly grounded.
D-1
ESD Guidelines
Release 09/02
Handling ESD assemblies A general rule is that assemblies should be touched only when this cannot be avoided owing to the work that has to performed on them. Under no circumstances should you handle printed-circuit boards by touching device pins or circuitry. You should touch devices only if S S you are grounded by permanently wearing an ESD wrist strap or you are wearing ESD shoes or ESD shoe-grounding protection straps in conjunction with an ESD floor.
Before you touch an electronic assembly, your body must be discharged. The simplest way of doing this is to touch a conductive, grounded object immediately beforehand for example, bare metal parts of a cabinet, water pipe etc. Assemblies should not be brought into contact with charge-susceptible and highly insulating materials such as plastic films, insulating table tops and items of clothing etc. containing synthetic fibers. Assemblies should be deposited only on conductive surfaces (tables with an ESD coating, conductive ESD cellular material, ESD bags, ESD shipping containers). Do not place assemblies near visual display units, monitors or television sets (minimum distance to screen > 10 cm).
Measuring and modifying ESD assemblies Perform measurements on ESD assemblies only when S S the measuring instrument is grounded for example, by means of a protective conductor or the measuring head has been briefly discharged before measurements are made with a potential-free measuring instrument for example, by touching a bare metal control cabinet.
Shipping ESD assemblies Always store and ship assemblies and devices in conductive packing for example, metallized plastic boxes and tin cans. If packing is not conductive, assemblies must be conductively wrapped before they are packed. You can use, for example, conductive foam rubber, ESD bags, domestic aluminum foil or paper (never use plastic bags or foils). With assemblies containing fitted batteries, make sure that the conductive packing does not come into contact with or short-circuit battery connectors. If necessary, cover the connectors beforehand with insulating tape or insulating material.

A
Acknowledgement Acknowledgement of an alarm message on the operating unit confirms that it has been noted. After acknowledgement, the message disappears from the operating unit. Alarm messages can be acknowledged either on the operating unit or PLC. Alarm messages can be compiled into groups so that several messages can be acknowledged simultaneously.
Acknowledgement groups During configuration, several alarm messages can be compiled to form an acknowledgement group. After acknowledging the first message, all the other messages belonging to the same group are simultaneously acknowledged. This enables, for example, acknowledgement of alarm messages for the cause of a fault and all resulting faults (group acknowledgement).
Alarm message Provides information on the operating unit concerning operating errors on the machine or system connected to the PLC. The message text may also contain current measured values. Since alarm messages indicate abnormal operating status, they must be acknowledged.
