Central and distributed Process I/O Systems


The SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system offers a variety of possibilities for detecting and
outputting process signals via sensors and actuators as well as for connecting process I/O to the
automation systems:

• Signal and function modules in remote I/O stations on the fieldbus


- PROFIBUS DP (ET 200M, ET 200iSP, ET 200pro)
- PROFINET IO (ET 200SP HA, SIMATIC CFU, ET 200M, ET 200SP)

• Analog and digital I/O modules of the S7-400 operated centrally in the automation system

SIMATIC S7-400 signal modules used centrally in the automation system are suitable for small
applications or plants with few remote locations. In practice, however, distributed process I/Os
are mainly used which, depending on the type, also support redundant configurations or
operation in explosive gas/dust atmospheres:

• SIMATIC ET 200 remote I/Os in conjunction with classic field devices and HART field devices
• Intelligent field/process devices for direct fieldbus connection (PROFIBUS PA, Foundation
Fieldbus H1)

Especially convincing arguments for distributed process I/O include:


• Modularity and consistency
• Flexible adaptability to the plant structure
• Minimum cabling and engineering requirements
• Low commissioning, servicing and lifecycle costs
• Wide technical bandwidth

Bus Systems (Communication)


The plant bus and the terminal bus for multi-user systems with client/server architecture are
implemented with Industrial Ethernet, a powerful area and cell network for industrial applications
in line with the international IEEE 802.3 standard (Ethernet). Bus structures with optical rings are
particularly suitable for this because of their high noise immunity and high availability.
In medium-sized and large plants with high requirements, SIMATIC PCS 7 applies modern
FastEthernet and Gigabit technology. This combines the high reliability of optical rings with the
scalable performance of switching technology and high transmission rates of up to 10 Gbps.

Communication at field level with PROFIBUS


Distributed peripherals such as remote I/O stations with their I/O modules, transmitters, drives,
valves or operator terminals communicate with the automation systems (controllers) at field
level through a powerful real-time bus system. This communication is characterized by:
• Cyclic transmission of process data
• Acyclic transfer of interrupts, parameters and diagnostics data
PROFIBUS is predestined for these tasks because it enables high-speed communication with
the intelligent distributed I/Os by means of a communications protocol (PROFIBUS DP) as well
as communication and simultaneous power supply for transmitters and actuators (PROFIBUS
PA).
PROFIBUS is simple, rugged and reliable, can be expanded online by further distributed
components, and can be used in both standard environments and hazardous areas. It supports
the coexistence of field devices from different vendors on one line (interoperability) as well as
the vendor-independent exchangeability of devices from one profile family.

PROFINET in the process industry


PROFINET combines the benefits of PROFIBUS, the most widely distributed bus system
worldwide, with the latest Ethernet technology. PROFINET supports easy setup of flexible
communication networks and ensures integrated, reliable and secure communication throughout
the plant – in real time!
Greater flexibility, efficiency and performance in industrial communication – PROFINET has
been established for many years in the manufacturing and machine environment and is the
preeminent global standard in automation.
PROFINET more than meets the special requirements of the process industry regarding
availability, flexibility, real-time capability and ruggedness. At the same time, the Ethernet-
based technology provides easy handling.
With version 9.0 of SIMATIC PCS 7, the process industry can now also benefit from the latest
communication technology; the conditions for this are now in place:
• Scalable system redundancy
• Changes possible in runtime ("Configuration in Run")
• High-precision time-of-day synchronization for sequence of events ("SoE")

Decision aid for Industrial Ethernet switches


Different types of switches can be used for the Industrial Ethernet communication within the
SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system. Here are some examples.

SCALANCE XM-400 Switches


The switches in the SCALANCE XM-400 product line allow for the flexible design of electrical or
optical Industrial Ethernet networks with high availability. They are ideally suited for configuring
the plant bus and the terminal bus of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system in electrical or
optical Gigabit ring technology (non-redundant and redundant rings). The network topology and
number and type of ports can be easily adapted to the structure of the system.

SCALANCE XR-300 managed


The functions of the SCALANCE XR-300 Industrial Ethernet switches correspond to those of the
SCALANCE X-300 switches. Designed as rack switches, they are particularly suitable for use in
19" control cabinets. They are also fully modular, and can be adapted to the respective task
using 2-port media modules (electrical and optical).
EEC versions (Enhanced Environmental Conditions) in compact and rack design can be used in
power engineering systems and under difficult environmental conditions.

SCALANCE XC-200 managed


The managed Industrial Ethernet switches of the SCALANCE XC-200 product line are optimized
or setting up Industrial Ethernet networks with data transfer rates of 10/100 Mbps in a line, star
or ring topology. High-performance optical structures with up to 1 000 Mbps can also be set up
with the SCALANCE XC206-2SFP.

Time synchronization
To obtain process data that can be evaluated, all the components of the process control system
need to work with an identical, synchronized time of day. This allows you to assign messages in
the correct sequence over time. The result is then consistent regardless of the time zone in
which the messages originate.
One system component must be the clock for all other components so that all process control
systems components work with an identical time. The PCS 7 component that functions as timer
is referred to as the time master. Components such as the central plant clock or an OS serer
can be configured as time master.
The time master is responsible for distributing the time signal to the PCS 7 components to be
synchronized, for example, operator stations and automation systems.

For time synchronization options please refer to the PCS 7 Manual “Process control
system PCS 7 – PC Configuration”

Field Bus
The PROFIBUS DP fieldbus enables the SIMATIC PCS 7 automation systems to communicate
with distributed I/Os from the ET 200 range (remote I/Os) as well as with field/process devices,
CPUs/CPs and operator terminals that have a PROFIBUS DP interface.
It is possible to route the PROFIBUS DP into Ex zone 1 by using a fieldbus isolating transformer
(RS 485-iS coupler) and the RS 485-iS transmission technology. Connection of the intelligent,
distributed field/process devices and operator terminals on PROFIBUS PA to the automation
system takes place likewise through PROFIBUS DP.
Depending on the type of automation system and the number of available slots, 1 PROFIBUS
DP lines can be connected to a SIMATIC PCS 7 automation system through internal interfaces
in the CPU410-5H, and up to 10 PROFIBUS DP lines through additional CP 443-5 Extended
communications processors.
On a PROFIBUS DP line it is possible to operate up to 126 devices (including repeaters and
Optical Link Modules), and on a bus segment up to 32 devices (including repeaters and Optical
Link Modules), with PROFIBUS DP interface.
Electrical and optical transmission technologies offer many different configuration options for
PROFIBUS DP networks.

Electrical networks can span up to 10 km for transfer rates <= 187,5 kBit/s
(12 km for transfer rates <= 93,75 kBit/s).
With optical transmission systems, the total size of the network is governed primarily by the
cycle times as a result of the almost loss-free transmission.

PROFINET is an open standard for fieldbus communication that combines the advantages of
the PROFIBUS DP fieldbus standard with those of the Industrial Ethernet network standard. It
enables the SIMATIC PCS 7 automation systems to communicate with PROFINET devices, e.g.
remote I/O stations and switches.

Besides the prevailing simple line structures and rings via PROFIBUS DP's optical link modules
(OLM), PROFINET also supports ring, tree and star topologies with one or more IO controllers
by default. This makes the network architecture more individually adaptable to the plant and
facilitates the implementation of future system extensions.
PROFINET allows up to 1440 bytes of cyclic user data per device as opposed to PROFIBUS
DP, which allows 244 bytes. These larger data sets are easily handled by PROFINET thanks to
a higher transmission rate of 100 Mbps full duplex, when compared to PROFIBUS DP's
maximum of 12 Mbps (typically 1.5 Mbps).
For process automation PROFINET system redundancy S2, redundant PROFINET configuration
R1, MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) and CiR (Configuration in Run) are most important
functionalities of the PROFINET devices.
Depending on the type of automation system and the number of available slots, 2 PROFINET
lines can be connected to a SIMATIC PCS 7 automation system through internal interfaces in
the CPU410-5H.
On a PROFINET line it is possible to operate up to 250 devices.
Electrical and optical transmission technologies offer many different configuration options for
PROFINET networks.

OpenPCS 7
Use the OpenPCS 7 interface in order to exchange data between the SIMATIC PCS 7 process
control system and host systems for production planning, process data evaluation and
management. These higher-level systems (OPC clients) can access SIMATIC PCS 7 process
data by means of the OpenPCS 7 server. However, access to the SIMATIC BATCH data is not
possible.
The OpenPCS 7 server collects data for the OPC clients. Depending on the system
configuration, these data may be distributed across different SIMATIC PCS 7 stations (OS
server, Process Historian). It covers the distribution of data with respect to
• time period (OS1/OS2/…)
• location (OS1/OS2/...)
• redundancy (OS1 master/OS1 standby …)

The OpenPCS 7 interface is based on various OPC specifications (openness, productivity,


collaboration). In addition to Microsoft's DCOM technology (Distributed Component Object
Model), it also supports the more sophisticated OPC UA (Unified Architecture) protocol for
communication between applications.

Operator Station CEMAT Server


Overview
A multiple station system consists of operator terminals (OS clients) which receive data (project
data, process values, archive data, alarms and messages) from one or more OS servers over a
terminal bus. The terminal bus can share the transmission medium with the plant bus or it can
be designed as a separate bus (Industrial Ethernet with TCP/IP).
In this architecture, redundant OS servers may be set up to meet higher availability
requirements. Critical applications running on the OS server are monitored by Health Check for
software faults. If a fault is detected, switchover to the redundant system is triggered.
Synchronization of the redundant OS servers takes place automatically and at high speed. OS
clients can access the data of not only one OS server/server pair, but from several OS
servers/pairs of servers simultaneously (multi-client mode). This makes it possible to divide a
plant into technological units and to distribute the data accordingly to several OS servers/pairs
of servers. In addition to scalability, the advantage of distributed systems is the ability to
decouple plant areas from each other, which results in higher availability.
The OS servers are designed in addition with client functions which permit them to access the
data (archives, messages, tags, variables) from the other OS servers of the multi-user system.
This means that process graphics on one OS server can also be linked with variables on other
OS servers (area-independent displays).
Like the OS single stations, the OS servers can be connected to the Industrial Ethernet plant
bus using one of the following network components:
• IE: CP 1623 communications module (pre-installed in SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial
Workstation) or CP 1628 communications module for communication with max. 64
automation systems
• BCE: Standard Ethernet network adapter (10/100/1000 Mbps) and Basic
Communication Ethernet for communication with up to 8 automation systems (no
redundancy stations)

Redundancy
The Operator Systems (single stations or servers) communicate with the automation systems
via the Industrial Ethernet plant bus. The following special points must be observed for
redundant configurations:
BCE communication with the 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet card is generally sufficient even for
redundant operator stations. This allows the connection of up to 8 automation systems per
server pair (AS single stations only, not AS redundancy stations). The BCE license is included
for the BCE versions of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation. It is also valid for an
additional desktop adapter network adapter.
Industrial Ethernet communication via CP 1623 (pre-installed in the IE version of the SIMATIC
PCS 7 Industrial Workstation) or CP 1628 (with extra security functions) is required in the
following cases:
• The number of automation systems per OS is larger than 8.
• Redundant automation systems (AS redundancy stations) are used.
The IE versions of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation are equipped with a CP 1623 and
SIMATIC NET HARDNET-IE S7 communication software, licensed for up to four CP 1623/ CP
1628 (4x license). If lower-level AS redundancy stations are to be connected, however,
SIMATIC NET HARDNET-IE S7-REDCONNECT is required. The SIMATIC NET product
HARDNET-IE S7REDCONNECT PowerPack (license for 4 units) can be used to upgrade
features.
If an operator station with BCE communication is to be upgraded for operation with AS
redundancy stations, a CP 1623 or CP 1628 communication module is required in addition to
the SIMATIC NET HARDNET-IE S7-REDCONNECT (4x license).
If the plant bus is to be designed as a redundant dual ring, you require two interface modules (2
x Ethernet network adapters 10/100/1000 Mbps or 2 x CP 1623/CP 1628) per OS single station
or OS server.
The communication software for CP 1623 or CP 1628 is always supplied with the SIMATIC PCS
7 software and installed in line with the operating system.

Using Web Option for OS


Introduction
The Web Option for OS enables operator control and monitoring of automated processes over
the Intranet/Internet using PCS 7.
You can use the Web Option for OS in a PCS 7 plant:
• With a PCS 7 OS multiple-station system
• With a PCS 7 OS single-station system

The Web Option for OS consists of the following components:


• PCS 7 Web server/PCS 7 Web diagnostics server
• PCS 7 Web client/PCS 7 Web diagnostics client

Using the product on a PCS 7 OS multiple-station system


Within a PCS 7 OS multiple station system, the Web server is an OS client with PCS 7 Web
server functionality. An OS client that is configured as a Web server can no longer be utilized as
an operator station (OS client, SIMATIC BATCH client, or Route Control client) within the PCS 7
plant.
The Web client accesses project data provided by the Web server via the intranet/Internet using
Internet Explorer. Operator control and monitoring of the process is supported.

Example configuration
The following figure depicts the PCS 7 plant configuration for the application of Web Option for

Functions

Graphical user interface (GUI)


The predefined user interface of the operator system has all the features typical of a control
system. It is multilingual, clearly structured, ergonomic and easy to understand. Operators can
survey the process extremely easily, and rapidly navigate between different views of the plant.
The system supports them in this process with hierarchical display structures that can be
configured as required. These facilitate the direct selection of lowerlevel areas during process
control. The current position within the hierarchy can always be recognized in a window of the
Picture Tree Manager. Process displays and process tags can also be called directly by their
name, or by a "Loop-in-alarm" starting from a selected message. An online language selector
permits the user to change the display language during runtime.
The project editor in the operator system offers a wide range of different image formats and
resolutions for displaying process graphics:

Graphic standard Format Resolution *) Support of multi-


monitor mode
SXGA 5:4 1280 x 1024 Yes
UXGA 4:3 1600 x 1200 Yes
WSXGA+ 16:10 1680 x 1050 Yes
HD 1080 (Full HD) 16:9 1920 x 1080 Yes recommended
WUXGA 16:10 1920 x 1200 Yes recommended
WQXGA 16:10 2560 x 1600 …
*) Smaller Screen resolutions exist, but they are not suitable for CEMAT

Process tag browser


The SIMATIC PCS 7 process tag browser enables status information from APL-based process
tags to be displayed, filtered and sorted. Process tags that have a certain status can then be
quickly identified and selected. The faceplate of a process tag can be selected directly in the
process image via the Loop In function. The query results of the process tag browser can be
saved and printed out.

TrendControls function for table displays and curve displays


With TrendControls the operator can display archived values:
- Archive tags from the process value archive
- Online values of process tags from tag management
The display is in relation to time (table/trend window) or in relation to another value (function
window).
The time can be defined statically (absolute, as configured) or dynamically (in relation to the
actual system time) as:
- Start and end times
- Start time and period
- Start time and number of measuring points
All TrendControls have scrolling functions and a function for directly selecting the start or end.
During runtime, operators can individually adapt the TrendControls functions which have already
been predefined during plant configuration and save the settings globally or user-specific. They
are able to change the data link during runtime, and to access other data. It is also possible to
integrate exported archive databases online.
Another special feature is that the operator can set a setting called “private”. By means of this
feature the trend control is only visible to the operator, who set this setting. He can use this
feature in order to secure his own created Online Trend Control.

APL Operator Trend Control


The APL Operator Trend Control coordinated with the Advanced Process Library offers another
option to the operator for flexible online compilation of trends. The values for the trend display
are selected with a simple mouse click, in which case the value range and unit are adopted
automatically by the process tag. The selection made can be subsequently adjusted by adding
and removing values. In addition, messages corresponding to the trend selection can be called.

4 quadrant view
In connection with the Trend Controls PCS 7 offers a new special view, where up to 4 Trend
Controls can be displayed on one picture ordered in a 4 quadrant view. By means of this feature
the operator can display his Trend Controls even on a separate monitor in full screen. Both,
Trend Controls and APL Operator Trend Controls are supported. Additionally the operator is also
able to save his screen composition.

AlarmControl function for message display and processing

Up to 200 000 messages can be configured per OS single station/OS server:


• Predefined system messages, triggered by a system event
• Individual or group messages, initiated by a change in process states
• Operator input messages, resulting from the manual operation of objects
The message system integrated in the Operator System records these process messages and
local events, saves them in message archives, and displays them using freely configurable
message lists.
Flexible setting options for audio output support message signaling with a sound card or by
controlling external horns via a signal module.
The "Loop-in-alarm" and "Select display using process tag" functions support the quick
evaluation and resolution of faults. Using "Loop-in-alarm", the operator can jump directly from a
message selected in the message window to the process display with the object which caused
the fault and can then call up the associated faceplate (loop display) through the process tag
whose block icon is colored (cyan). The faceplate window (loop display) can be anchored so that
it remains visible even when the display is changed.
Group displays visually signal the messages currently present in the process display. They also
provide information on whether messages are disabled or not.

Reporting and logging system


The project created during configuring is documented with the reporting system. The logging
system allows an easy-to-read printout of data acquired during operation. Different types of
predefined logs are available:
• Message sequence log
• Message and archive log
• Measured value log
• Operator activity log
• System message log
• User log

Data archiving

Abbildung 2 OS Archivierung

The high-performance archiving system, configurable at runtime, in the OS standard software of


OS Single Stations and OS Servers temporarily records process values and messages/ events
(alarms) in cyclic archives. Intervals of approximately 1 to 4 weeks for process values and

Central user administration, access control, electronic signature


With SIMATIC Logon, the operator system has central user administration with access control
that complies with the validation requirements of 21 CFR Part 11. The administrator can divide
the users into groups and assign differently defined access rights (roles) to these groups. The
operator obtains the specific rights when logging on within the scope of the access control. Apart
from the keyboard, an optional smart card reader, for example, can be used as the logon
device. In addition, SIMATIC Logon offers the "electronic signature" function. SIMATIC Logon is
fully integrated in SIMATIC PCS 7. In the context of SIMATIC PCS 7, no software licenses need
be ordered for this. For more information on SIMATIC Logon and ordering data for an optional
smart card reader, see "Expansion components, smart card reader" in "Industrial
Workstation/IPC".

Test and Training Stations

Simulation Structure with PCS 7 and SIMIT


SIMIT is a simulation tool which can simulate all levels of automation: From the signal level
down to the process level. The easy to use HMI makes it possible that one can do signal test
quite easy via control/display elements for inputs and outputs. In addition, the Standard library
provides a huge spectrum of components to great simulation for Actors/Sensor as well as easy
process models, like filling and heating of reactors.
SIMIT has in general two basis structure types: Hardware-In-The-Loop and Software-In-The-
Loop. The second one is basically consisting out of SIMIT SP and a virtual controller which is
replacing the real PLC (300/400). The first option is directly connected to a real PLC, via
additional hardware, the so-called SIMIT Unit. This would be also the solution which fulfills the
requirements above. The advantage is to have a realistic feedback of the performance and
behavior of the plc, which therefore also maintain a better testing quality.
The PLC itself is connected to the HMI Level via standard S7-communication, that means
Server-/Client resp. Single Station is possible.

There are two different types of SIMIT Units available; one for Profibus and one for Profinet.
The preferred one for Profibus has two PROFIBUS channels and can handle up to 125
PROFIBUS device in each channel. This device has also an Ethernet connection which is
directly connected to an PC where SIMIT SP is installed. SIMIT SP can be installed on the same
or on a different PC as the Engineering Station.

Since V10 SIMIT has one Platform which provide all the functionalities. In the picture below, one
can see the spectrum:

46 Copyright  Siemens AG. All Rights Reserved.


Reference Manual System MinAS CEMAT V9.0 SP2

The Size of the simulation Platform is scaled by Simulation Tags which are the sum of all the
inputs and outputs, plus the states. For typical process industry applications, it is recommended
having an “L” package size. The PC where SIMIT is installed can be a standard PC.

Hardware Requirements
In order to work with SIMIT, you need a PC with the following minimum requirements for
processor speed/performance (recommendations from Microsoft), RAM and graphics capability:

Processo Expanded memory Graphics


r configuration
2 GHz 4GB *) DirectX 9-raphics device with WDDM
1.0- or later driver
*) At least 8 GB expanded memory configuration is recommended

In addition, you will need a CD drive and a free USB port.


The performance of your graphics architecture as well as memory configuration may have
considerable influence on the performance of SIMIT. In case you work with large SIMIT projects
with e.g. several hundred diagrams you should use a PC with up-to-date performance.

Operating System
SIMIT is a 32-bit application that is released for the following operating systems:
• MS Windows 7 SP1 (Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise, 32 and 64 bit versions)
• MS Windows 10 LTSB 2015
• MS Windows Server 2012 R2 (64 Bit)
• MS Windows Server 2016
You may use one of these operating systems as a virtual machine under the control of a
VMware host (ESXi V6.0).
SIMIT has not been tested for use in other environments; use at your own risk.

Display of PDF files


To read the supplied PDF files, you need a PDF reader that is compatible with PDF 1.7
(ISO32000-1:2008 PDF).

Security Settings
In project directories as well as in the SIMIT workspace, all users need to receive write
permission in case of non-exclusive use by one user only. These rights have to be set up by an
administrator.
Note: The standard rights available in the operating system depend on the operating system in
use. Tools used for the creation of partitions will implement their own security guidelines.

Hibernation mode
Shifting to hibernation mode is generally prevented by SIMIT.

Modifying date and time


Please do not modify the date or time of your computer while SIMIT is running since this could
cause unpredictable errors.

48 Copyright  Siemens AG. All Rights Reserved.


Reference Manual System MinAS CEMAT V9.0 SP2

Memory Requirements
SIMIT requires approx. 350 Mbytes of memory on your hard disk. The exact value depends on
your operating system and on the file system used on your personal computer.
Additionally, on the drive your project data is located you need to make sure enough hard disk
space is available. If during an operation (e.g. saving a SIMIT diagram or starting the
simulation) disk space is insufficient, this may lead to corruption of project data.
We also recommend that you do not store the project data on the same drive as the Windows
swap file.

SIMATIC PCS 7 Virtualization


Virtualization refers to the creation of a virtual machine that acts like a real computer with an
operating system. It is possible to run several virtual machines on a real computer. Each virtual
machine can run applications such as SIMATIC PCS 7.
Virtualization is getting more important in automation technology because of its advantages
which are of great importance to many operators. Reducing energy consumption and space
requirements are decisive advantages compared to the utilization of real computers.
The following document provides an overview over the possibilities of virtualization and its
usage in automation technology. The following main points are discussed in the documentation:
• Display typical configurations
• Display special features
• Experiences of practical area of PCS 7 in virtual environment

CEMAT Design and Engineering

Overview
CEMAT is a Control System based on SIMATIC PCS 7, the mainstream process control
system of Siemens. It offers a unique, open architecture for modern, future-proof and
economic solutions for the Minerals industry.
CEMAT makes use of all features of SIMATIC PCS 7 and it further adds the philosophy of
plant operation and fault diagnosis.
Special function blocks and faceplates are designed for all kind of operation, interlocking and
supervision functions as typically required in Minerals Plants.
The functions are preconfigured and well proven over many years. This makes engineering
easy, fast and reliable.
Diagnosis functions such as diagnostic dialog, loop-in-alarm function and information
dialog lead to the information very fast and help to reduce down-time to a minimum.
CEMAT contains a powerful message system with special filter functions and sophisticated
plausibility logic:
 Alarms will only be given for plant sections which are "in operation".
 In case of general faults like power supply failure, the alarms from the modules can be
blocked in order to give no misleading information to the operator.
A status report gives an overview of all unsolved problems within a plant section (group) and
prevents unnecessary group starts. This saves time and energy.
An object list shows all objects of a plant section (group). This function can be used to see the
status of the objects and to search for potential simulations or software jumpers.
The information dialog of each object provides additional information. It displays the
hardware’s installation location, I/O data, Additional I/O Information (including Signal
Addresses), MCC data, AS data, notes and object related messages.
An open user interface in the information dialog offers access to sound files, videos, PDF
descriptions and CAD drawings.
The maintenance dialog shows Statistic values like Operating hours and Maintenance data
information.

CEMAT provides assistance in all phases of the project:


 Project planning and ordering:
- CEMAT DEMO systems offline and online
- Order information for the calculation of the automation components
 Engineering and Commissioning:
- Training in the SIMATIC training center or, if desired, on site
- Extensive documentation (Object description and Engineering Manuals)
- Engineering tools
 Trouble shooting
- FAQs and information to latest versions in the internet
- Special contact partners in the PCS 7 Hotline
 Migration
- Migration tools for connecting old systems to newer versions
- Upgrade procedures and engineering tools for the upgrade to the latest versions.

Reference Manual System MinAS CEMAT V9.0 SP2

General Function Description

Operating Modes
In the CEMAT Minerals Automation Standard the following operating modes exist:
In normal operation the drives of a technological plant section are started and stopped group-
wise, in the so-called Automatic Mode. The start/stop commands are carried out by the
operator in the control room via the faceplate of the group or can be initiated by program (by a
process condition).
With a group start the group module generates a start-up warning. After the start-up warning
time has elapsed, all affiliated drives are started sequentially according to the interlocking
conditions.
With a group stop all affiliated drives are stopped according to the interlocking conditions.

In the Manual mode the drives can be started and stopped individually from the operator
station. In the Manual mode the drive module itself generates a start-up-warning. After the
start-up warning time has elapsed the start command is given.
In the Manual mode all interlocking conditions (start and operating interlocks as well as
protection interlocks) are effective.
Remark: Interlocking grades can be adjusted via Feature bit settings according to customer’s
design criteria.
The Manual mode can be enabled/disabled per group (or route), or individually for the drive.
Drives can be switched into (interlocked) Manual mode and back into Automatic mode while
the drive is running. As long as the interlocking conditions are fulfilled running devices continue
to run.

The Local mode allows starting and stopping from the field, either via a field switch or via
locally installed push buttons. The Local mode is mainly used for maintenance and must be
enabled by the operator in the control room.
The local mode is a non-interlocked mode, which means that start and operating conditions of
the drive are not effective, except the essential process interlocks and protection interlocks.
(Interlocking grades can be adjusted via Feature bit settings)
The Local mode can be enabled/disabled per group (or route), or individually for the drive.
Switching into Local mode is only possible if the drive is not running. Switching drive from
Local mode into Automatic mode or Manual mode is possible (if the field switch allows).

The Out of Service Mode inhibits the drive start. In Out of Service Mode the blocks don’t
carry out any control function and no output is set.
The Out of Service mode cannot be enabled/ disabled group-wise; this is only possible
individually per drive.
Changing feature and OS permission bits is only possible in Out of Service.

Mode feedback of the drives is returned to the group for visualization purpose (indication in the
group block icon and faceplate).

CEMAT V9.0 SP2 Reference Manual System MinAS

Operating Methodology

Start in automatic mode


In order to accept the automatic start command (normally coming from the superordinate
group), the drives must either be in automatic mode or allow “change to automatic via
automatic start command”.
The group start can either be carried out via operator faceplate of the group or via program.
The group triggers a start-up warning and after the start-up warning has elapsed the automatic
start command is given to the drives. For the start sequence, the drives consider the
interlocking conditions and time delays, configured at the drive blocks.
After the startup is completed and the last drive in the sequence is running, the group must
receive a feedback ON signal in order to indicate "completely running".

Group interlocking conditions or an unacknowledged fault for one of the objects blonging to the
group prevent the group start. After making sure that all faults are acknowledged, the operator
can use the status call function in order to check for availability of the group.
Static faults in one of the objects belonging to the group don't prevent the group start. (The
fault may come from a signal or device which is at the moment not affecting the process.)
But any incoming (dynamic) fault during the start-up of the group leads to an interrupt of the
start command. In order to avoid unnecessary group starts the operator may carry out a status
call in order to display the list of all the faulty objects and in order to decide whether any action
is required before group start.

Stop in automatic mode


In order to accept the automatic stop command (normally coming from the superordinate
group), the drives must be in automatic mode.
The group stop can either be carried out via operator faceplate of the group or via program.
The group gives a stop command to the drives. For the stop sequence the drives consider the
interlocking conditions and the time delays configured at the drive blocks.

Immediate stop in automatic mode


If the automatic mode of the drive is enabled (default setting) the drive accepts the immediate
stop command from the group. Immediate stop can be carried out via operator faceplate of the
group or via program. After pressing immediate stop, all drives are stopped instantaneously,
without time delay.

Manual start/stop of a drive


Once the Manual mode is enabled, the drives can be started/ stopped individually via drive
faceplate.
Pressing the start button a start-up warning is generated and after the start-up time elapsed the
drive gets started. Pressing the stop button leads to an immediate stop.

Local start/stop of a drive


Once the local mode is enabled, the drives can be started/ stopped via field switch (locally
installed switch or push buttons). The local mode is a non-interlocked mode and should be
used for Maintenance only and not for normal operation.
By default no start-up warning is generated, but via a change in the feature bit settings this
option exists.
Pressing local start and presuming that there is no fault, the drive starts immediately (or after
the start-up warning has elapsed). Pressing local stop will stop the drive.
Further details about mode change options you will find under “Operating modes for drive
functions”.

Reference Manual System MinAS CEMAT V9.0 SP2

Fault diagnosis and Messages


A number of indications are used in CEMAT MinAS in order to show the operator the actual
status of the plant and to allow fast and reliable trouble-shooting in case of a fault.
 The group block has summarizing indications for "Faults" or "Warnings" in any of its
affiliated objects.
 The group status call function shows a list of all faults and interlocks.
 The group instance list shows a list of all objects, including an indication for software
jumpers and simulations (override function).
 The block icons of the plant objects (drives, measures or process signals) show the
operating mode and fault status.
 The diagnosis picture shows the detailed information of the fault type.
 The information dialog shows additional information about the object regarding location,
I/O addresses, MCC etc.
 The alarm dialog shows all messages created by the specific object (events and
operations).

If a plant fault needs the attention of the operator (e. g. something has been stopped by a
wrong process condition) an alarm message will be generated. Each incoming alarm must be
acknowledged individually by the operator.
One of the main features of CEMAT MinAS is that no unnecessary alarms are generated.
 Alarms are filtered per section (AREA): Only the operator who is authorized for a plant
sections will see the alarms.
 A plausibility logic prevents fault messages caused by another fault
 In case of general faults like power supply failure, the alarms from plant objects can be
inhibited and only the alarm for power supply failure will be given.
 If the drives are enabled for local operation, no alarm message is created.
 Alarm messages are only created in Automatic mode and in Manual-start mode and only if
the drive is started or already running. Drives which are not in operation do not create
alarms.

Operation commands like start/stop/select/deselect can only be given if the operator has the
corresponding permission. Normal operation commands like “start” and “stop” of a group or a
device require permission “Operator control”.
The default operation option in CEMAT MinAS is the “single step operation”, because it is the
fastest way. Settings can be modified via OS Permissions of the block.
Single step operation
If the “operations” should be done “with one Mouse click”, the OS Permission Bit 8 has to be
set to “1”. With this setting the command buttons in the standard faceplate get visible.
With one of the selected “Manual” modes and depending “OS Permission Log Bits” the direct
Command Buttons are ready to be operated. (Black colored Text)

ad 5) Detail Information to “Mode selection and Object status”


Mode change is only possible if the operator has the corresponding permission. Mode change
to Automatic mode, Manual interlocked mode and Local mode requires permission “Operator
control”. For less interlocked Manual modes the permission for “System Operations” is required
(see chapter “Operator authorization”).
The default mode change option in CEMAT MinAS is the “single step mode change”, because
it is the fastest way. Settings can be modified via OS Permissions of the block.
Single step mode change
If the “Mode change” should be done “with one Mouse click”, the OS Permission Bit 18 has to
be set to “1”.
With this permission the Standard Dialog shows the mode change buttons for
“Auto.” (2), “Man.” (3), “Local” (4) and “OoS” (5) as shown below.
The actual mode is indicated beside the mode change buttons (1).

Operator control permission


Operator commands are restricted by the following criteria:

- Feature bit settings


 Complete function can be enabled/disabled

- OS PermissionLog
 Decides if an operator action is allowed or not allowed,
dependent on OS Permission & Status

- Operator authorization in WinCC


 Operator authorization levels in WinCC User Administrator

- Instance specific Operator authorization levels


 Operator authorization level can be modified via block parameter in the CFC

Acknowledgement in CEMAT
Talking about acknowledgement in CEMAT, it must be differentiated between the
acknowledgement of the message in the alarm line and the acknowledgement of the dynamic
fault in the CEMAT block.
The messages in the alarm line can only be acknowledged one by one,
- either via the acknowledge button in the alarm line
(only the visible alarms will be acknowledged)
- or via the acknowledge button in the Object Faceplate.

- or via the acknowledge error button in the button line


(all alarms of the selected Picture will be acknowledged)

For the fault acknowledgement in the AS (dynamic fault of the CEMAT blocks) different
options exist. It may be carried out
- together with the acknowledgement of the alarm line or the acknowledge button in the
button line (for the selected area) or via acknowledgement button in the object faceplate.
- for the complete AS, group-wise or for the individual object.
- via HMI or by program

The general configuration of the fault acknowledgement from HMI is configured in the System
chart SYSPLCxx at block C_FB_PLC, interfaces ACK_GR and ACK_OB. The settings are valid
for the complete PLC and the default setting is “AS-wide acknowledgement”.

AS-wide Acknowledgement (Default)


With the acknowledgement of the message in the alarm line, an acknowledgement command
is sent to the AS which produced the message, and all blocks within this AS are acknowledged
at the same time.
Via the acknowledgement button of any Cemat Object Faceplate an acknowledgement
command is sent to the corresponding AS, and all blocks within this AS are acknowledged at
the same time.

Group-wise Acknowledgement
The acknowledgement of the message in the alarm line is independent of the fault
acknowledgement in the block.
For fault acknowledgement in the AS the Operator must press the Acknowledgement button in
the group faceplate. The acknowledgement command is sent only to the group. From the
group it is transmitted to all connected objects. (Programming required!)
Acknowledgement of individual Objects via its faceplate is possible as well.
If annunciations, process feedbacks or measurements are child objects to a drive, the
acknowledgement of the drive block leads to the acknowledgement of the child objects at the
same time.

Object-wise Acknowledgement
The acknowledgement of the message in the alarm line leads to the acknowledgement of the
block which generated the alarm.
In this mode the acknowledgement of individual Objects via its faceplate is possible as well.

CEMAT V9.0 SP2 Reference Manual System MinAS

Fault acknowledgement by AS Program


All Cemat MinAS Objects have an interface Ack for individual fault acknowledgement by AS
program. This interface is used in case of group-wise acknowledgement, but in can also be
used wherever acknowledgement by AS program is needed.
By default setting, interface Ack works parallel to the acknowledgement command from HMI.
If acknowledgement via HMI shall not be permitted, it is possible to enalbe acknowledgement
exclusively via program interface Ack.

Block output AckQ


Block output AckQ is available for all CEMAT MinAS blocks with acknowledgement function and
contains the status of the internal acknowledgement bit of the block (according to the
acknowledgement settings in SYSPLCxx and in the block).
This output can be used in order to forward the acknowledgement command to a satellite block
or to an output (in order to forward the acknowledgement to an external device).

Additional Fault Reset via Object Facplate (optional)


For all Objects types for drives, annunciation blocks and measurements, there is an option to
memorize the trip until an additional “Fault Reset” button in the object faceplate is pressed.
Resetting the fault on object level forces the operator to look at the equipment to be reset.
Only dynamic faults are memorized, static faults don’t require additional Fault Reset.
The Fault Reset can only be carried out after the fault is cleared (after the fault is acknowledged
and gone).
The Fault Reset Function is enabled via feature bit and OS Permission at the individual objects:

For details to the acknowledgement functions see Engineering Manual, chapter


06_AS_Engineering under “Acknowledgement modes”.

CEMAT Message Functionality


Two types of messages are stored in the message system of CEMAT:
 Messages that are initiated by malfunction in the process (process specific values are
reached or violated).
These messages need the attention of the operator. They appear in the message line on
top of the screen and need must be acknowledged. Parallel the messages are entered into
the message archive.
 Messages originated by an operator action (starting, stopping, modification of a process
parameter).
These messages don't appear in the message line, but they are entered into the message
archive.

Message line

The message line displays the non-acknowledged messages from the selected plant
sections.
A newly arrived message
- always appears immediately in the message line (even when operations are being
performed on the previously displayed message).
- produces an acoustical signal that continues until it is reset by clicking an acknowledge
key.

The message line contains the following information (from left to right):
- Incoming date/time of the message
- Plant identifier
- Fault type
- Message text (Comment)

The CEMAT blocks are able to analyze and prioritize the faults in order to avoid an alarm
flooding. As a result only one alarm will be recorded and reported in detail, while all other
alarms are suppressed.
Each alarm must be acknowledged individually in the Alarm line
Only activated objects can generate alarms
Each fault is classified. CEMAT distinguishes between electrical, mechanical or process faults
or local emergency shutdowns.
The following events are displayed:
- potentially dangerous process conditions
- setpoint deviations beyond pre-selected values
- blocking of a start, stop or changeover operation
- operating interruptions

Color attributes
The messages are displayed in the following colors depending on the message class and
message state:
Error messages Warning messages Process messages
Message arrived white / red black / yellow white / red
Message gone black / light green black / light green black / light green

Operator Control
The three additional keys placed at the right of the message line initiate the following functions:

- left mouse button (SC) Invoke alarm picture (Loop in Alarm). This is
the process picture in which the faulty object is
displayed.
- left mouse button (SC) Invoke faceplate dialog for the object. From
the faceplate you have the possibility to call
the subsequent dialogs Diagnosis and Info
- right mouse button (SC) Show the CEMAT Version dialog

- left mouse button (SC) Open the Alarm dialog (list of all non-
acknowledged alarms)
- left mouse button (SC) Acknowledge pending messages until the
message line is empty. When a message is
acknowledged, an acknowledgement telegram
is sent to the automation unit from which the
message came and the next non-
acknowledged message is displayed.

Area selections for the alarm line


The messages are filtered dependent on the operating authorization "process controlling" of
the actually logged in user.

Loop in alarm Call


The loop in alarm function opens a predefined process picture in order to display the object
which created the alarm.
The name of the Alarm Picture can be defined for each object in the Info Dialog in Register
"Service". For explanation see Engineering Manual, chapter OS Engineering).
If no picture name is entered, the system looks into the 'Component list Editor' of WinCC and
opens the 'Entry point picture'.

Block I/Os
Each block has a list of input and output parameters. The function of the I/Os is explained in the
corresponding Object descriptions.
Dependent on the function, the I/Os may be connected with a signal (from the symobls file or an
output of another block) or parameterized with a value. Unconnected inputs remain in the
default status.
Some I/Os carry additional information like a Texts (Text 0 and/or Text 1), an Identifier, a Unit
or an Operator authorization level. During the OS Compile this information is transferred to the
internal Tag Management of WinCC and used for visualization purpose.
In Chapter “Operating Principle” of the Object description you find different types of I/Os:
- Hardware inputs
- Input interfaces
- Group and Object links
- Input/Output interfaces
- Output interfaces
- Hardware outputs
- Engineering Error
- Feature bits and OS Permissions

Copyright  Siemens AG. All Rights Reserved 139


CEMAT V9.0 SP2 Reference Manual System MinAS

Hardware Inputs
These inputs are connected to the inputs of the periphery, such as contactor feedback,
electrical availability, overload, contactor on command of the motor. Normally a signal from
the symbols file is assigned to this interface.

Input Interfaces
Under Input interfaces you find all kind of block inputs except the Hardware inputs and
Group/Object Links. Dependent on the function they either have to be connected by a block
output or configured with a value:
- Interlocking conditions:
Inputs for interlocking conditions are of type Structure and can be connected by a signal
(output such as “Running Signal” from another Cemat block) or by a logic (Interlock block).
The block which is connected to the interlocking condition input can be opened in the HMI
(Standard Faceplate or Diagnosis) via click on the interface.
- Interfaces for mode change:
Beside the mode change via HMI, the possibility exist to change the operation mode of a
block by program, either via LINK interface or via individual mode change inputs.
- Start-/Stop commands:
To be connected with the Start/Stop command or Quick Stop of the superordinate block.
- Feedback Signals:
Any kind of Feedback information from a subordinated block (object belonging to a group,
Subcontrol of a drive, SIMOCODE, Drive measurement, etc.).
Some feedback information can also be given via LINK interface (if the corresponding
feature bit is set).
- Process Parameters
All process parameters already contain default values and must be adapted for the
application according to the functional description. Some values, such as Scale beginning,
Scale End and Limit Values for a Measurement can be adapted in the CFC during
Engineering or FAT, other values need to be adjusted during the commissioning of the plant
or even later.
Process Parameters can also be modified online via HMI, but please keep in mind that the
“Read back” function must be used in order to save the modification in the offline CFC.
- Enable/disable functions:
The mayority of the optional block functions are enabled/disabled via Feature bit settings,
because they can not be modified online.
Functions such as “External Setpoint” or “Message Enable” need to be enabled/disabled by
a process condition and therefore special interfaces are provided which need to be
connected by the corresponding logic.
- Display functions:
The information connected to these kind of inputs has no influence in the function of the
block and is only used for display in the block faceplate.

Group and Object links


Each drive, annunciation block and measuring value block must be connected to the group via
the so-called group link interface. The blocks may directly be connected to the group or
indirectly via route module.
Annunciation blocks C_ANNUNC or C_ANNUN8 and measuring value blocks C_MEASUR can
also be linked directly to a drive (if the annunciation or measurement belongs to the same
equipment), the C_PROFB must be connected to the corresponding drive. This is done via
O_LINK connection.
For links between objects of one AS to a group in a different AS additional send and receive
blocks are needed.

Input/Output interfaces
Interfaces of type I/O contain the result of calculations within the blocks, like counter values,
runtime values, or maintenance information. The values are available for read back function.

Output Interfaces
All block stati which are needed for the connections to other blocks (e. g. start command, stop
command, running, fault, etc.) are available as block outputs.

Hardware Outputs
These outputs are connected directly to the outputs of the periphery, such as contactor on
command of the motor. Normally a signal from the symbols file is assigned to this interface.

CEMAT V9.0 SP2 Reference Manual System MinAS

Engineering Errors
In case of a wrong parameterization the block output ErrorNum contains a number different from
zero (in online-mode) and the block is switched to “Out of Service”. You have to check the
object description and correct the fault before you proceed. Only one error per instance can be
displayed at a time.

Feature bits
Via feature bits the behavior of the block can be adapted (e.g. for operating modes) and block
functions can be enabled or disabled.

OS Permissions
Via OS Permissions the Operator actions can be enabled or disabled and the type of operation
can be configured (e. g. mode change with single operation or with confirmation)

Block Functions
The following chapters contain a summary of the most important block functions of the CEMAT
Objects.

For further details and programming instructions please read the CEMAT Object
description for the corresponding block type.

SYSPLCxx System functions and Runtime sequence


CEMAT MinAS requires a number of infrastructure blocks for global settings and
configurations, such as:
- acknowledgement mode
- customization of text displays
- behavior in warning mode
- configuration of the PLC number
- sequence test mode
- text definitions for “still faulty” message
- feature master blocks
All these settings are carried out at a central location, in the so-called “System chart”
SYSPLCxx which must be installed in the S7-Program of each CEMAT AS.

The blocks in the System Chart as well es all other CEMAT objects require a certain
runtime sequence. For further information see Engineering Manual, chapter
06_AS_Engineering.

Feature Master Concept


Features and OS Permissions related to the operating or programming philosophy must be
consistent in all instances of the block. In order to ensure this, the relevant Feature bits and OS
Permission bits can be selected and defined once per block type via the corresponding Feature
Master block located in the system chart. These settings can be applied to all instances of the
block type.
Example for Feature Master block C_M_DRV_1D for CEMAT block type C_DRV_1D:

Structure bit settings:


Via Structure Feature (Feature2 or OS_Perm) of the Feature Master block the default values
for the Feature bits and OS Permission bits are defined:

Via Structure input Feat_Copy (Feat2_Co or OS_Copy) of the Feature Master block it can be
decided whether the value from Structure Feature (Feature2 or OS_Perm) is transferred to the
block instances or not.

With Feat_Copy.bitxx = 1-Signal, the status of the Feature.bitxx is transferred to all instances
of the corresponding CEMAT block.

Feature Master blocks exist for the following block types:


C_M_DRV_1D for C_DRV_1D
C_M_DRV_2D for C_DRV_2D
C_M_DAMPER for C_DAMPER
C_M_VALVE for C_VALVE
C_M_MEASUR for C_MEASUR
C_M_ANNUNC for C_ANNUNC
C_M_ANNUN8 for C_ANNUN8
C_M_PROFB for C_PROFB
C_M_PROFBx for C_PROFBx
C_M_GROUP for C_GROUP
C_M_ROUTE for C_ROUTE

Reference Manual System MinAS CEMAT V9.0 SP2

Configuration mode and Consistency check


Feature bits and OS Permissions must always be consistent and can therefore not be modified
for running (or active) devices.
Therefore, all CEMAT blocks with Feature master work with an Internal Memory, which is not
getting updated during normal operation of the block.
The internal Memory is only updated in Configuration mode
- If the block is called for the first time in the program
- During the restart of the AS
- If the block is in Out of Service mode
- In Sequence test mode (PIN protected)
The HMI always shows the status of the internal memory!
In order to allow the transfer of Features and OS Permissions from the Feature Master block to
the CEMAT Module, block parameter FeatMast of the CEMAT Module must have 1-Singal.

Update of the internal memory:

The Feature bit settings of the Feature Master blocks are checked for consistence. Only if the
setting is consistent (block output ErrorNum = 0) and if the CEMAT block is in configuration
state, the setting of the Feature Master is transferred to the instance of the CEMAT module.

C_DRV_1D Unidirectional Drive

Main Function
The main function of block type C_DRV_1D is the control of a unidirectional drive. The block
provides a contactor output signal ContOn and monitors a contactor feedback signal FbkRun.
In addition the electrical availability and thermal overload can be evaluated via inputs ElAvail
and Overload.
If additional protection signals (binary or analog) exist, a block type C_ANNUNC, C_ANNUN8
or C_MEASUR must be added and linked to the drive block.
For the monitoring of a process feedback signal (binary or analog), block types C_PROFB or
C_PROFBx must be used.
The drive can be controlled in different operation modes:
In Automatic mode the drive is started and stopped via program interface, typically by a
Cemat Group block
In Manual mode the drive is started and stopped via Operator Interface
In Local mode the drive is started and stopped via a Field switch
Out of Service mode disables any control function and it is required in order to permit the
change of configuration settings in the program.
The drive block has a standard interface for signals from the field switch (signals AutModLo,

C_MEASUR Measuring value block

Main Function
The main function of block type C_MEASUR is reading and monitoring an analog process
signal, and providing the physical value and the status for indication and further evaluation in
the process.
The block is able to read a card value via input MV_Card and to convert it into REAL format,
or it directly reads a physical value in REAL format via input PV. The physical value is then
provided at output MV (REAL format) and at Structure outputs PV_Out and PV_Stat (REAL
value + Status).
Process parameter OpSca.High and OpSca.Low are used for the definition of the measuring
range and Process Parameter UNIT must contain the dimension.
In order to convert the card value MV_Card into a physical value the scale for the card must be
defined via Process parameter Card_SCB and Card_SCE.
For the calculation of the physical value the following formula is used:
(PV_OpSca.High – PV_OpSca.Low) * (MV_Card – Card_SCB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + PV_OpSca.Low
(Card_SCE – Card_SCB)

Life Zero or bad quality is evaluated by the block as well and provided at output LZ.
In addition, limit values can be defined in order to provide binary information for undershoot of
overshoot indications and messages:
one low and one high limit for generating warning messages
one low low and one high high limit for generating fault messages
two low and two high (switching) limits which only provide binary information (without
message).
The C_MEASUR block can be linked to a drive block in order to exchange information with the
drive (e.g. for conditional supervision).
For signal evaluation the measuring value block must be in Automatic mode.
Out of Service mode disables the function and it is required in order to permit the change of
configuration settings in the program.
The following signal stati are evaluated by the measuring vale block and leads to an alarm
message (or warning message):
- HH limit exceeded
- H limit exceeded
- L limit exceeded
- LL limit exceeded

The training schedules and the training manual will be provided by the Trainer in PDF
format. It has to be printed and copied for each participant.
The CEMAT documentation is available online after the installation of CEMAT. Printing is not
needed (at least not for each participant).

Training duration and number of participants


The duration of the CEMAT training is one week, presuming that the required PCS 7
knowledge is available. The CEMAT Training includes the operating philosophy, the functions of
the CEMAT blocks and the required configuration settings for a PCS 7Project with CEMAT.
If additional support is required (e. g. for the set-up of the real project) this has to be calculated
additionally.
The maximum number of participants for a CEMAT Training is 8 to 10 Persons (= 5
Engineering Stations).

Simulation and Testing


Sequence Test Mode
The sequence test mode can be used for program test without the periphery being available.
This is very useful for general function tests, for the Factory Acceptance Test or for Operator
Training.
The sequence test mode always applies to the complete PLC and must be enabled via System
chart SYSPLCxx, block C_FB_PLC at input SEQ_TEST.

In order to enable the sequence test mode, the string ‘TEST’ on parameter SEQ_TEST has to
be entered and the AS has to be restarted.

Note: In the sequence test mode the output for contactor on commands are never set and
! the contactor feedback signals and process feedback signals of the drives are simulated
internally.

Note: Be aware that the connection of the I/Os to the block inputs and outputs cannot be
! checked with Sequence test mode. This can only be achieved with a real simulation System
like SIMIT.

The signal status of the binary inputs can be simulated via diagnosis view of the faceplates,
where the status indications are converted into simulation buttons which allow “switching” of the
inputs.
The process values can directly be entered in the faceplates and replace the real Process value.

CEMAT V9.0 SP2 Reference Manual System MinAS

- After the Sequence Test mode is enabled, by default all inputs are in healthy condition and
the simulation buttons appear. The status can be changed by toggle function.

- Contactor feedback signals and process feedback signals can only be forced to an
unhealthy condition; the same applies to the Analog process signals of ProFB blocks.
- Analog values are set to 50% (between low limit and and high limit) and can then be
modified via the Standard faceplate.

- For the blocks C_ANNUNC, C_ANNUN8, C_PROFB, C_PROFBx, C_MEASUR and for the
Process value of C_DAMPER the Sequence test mode can be disabled, for example for
cases where the program includes a calculation or an internal simulation.

The sequence test mode includes a function for saving, restoring or interrupting the simulation.
This can be carried out via block C_FB_PLC, inputs SimSave, SimLoad and SimPause in
System chart SYSPLCxx.
- With 1-Signal at input SimPause the Sequence test can be interrupted at any time. The PLC
is running in kind of an idle mode, no action any more.
- With a positive edge at input SimSave the test situation can be saved (e. g. at the end of a
day, or in order to repeat the same step several times)
- With a positive edge at input SimLoad the previously test situaion can be reloaded in order
to proceed with the same step.
In order to leave the sequence test mode, enter the string ‘NO’ at the parameter SEQ_TEST
and restart the AS. By this the sequence test mode of all blocks is reset.
