1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

Motivation

WinCC V14 makes it possible to establish a communication with the S7-1500S software controller.

Task

In this example a connection between WinCC V14 SP1 Runtime Professional and a S7-1507S software controller is set up.

This is where runtime and the software controller are on a joint PC station. A configuration where both systems are running on separate IPCs can be found on the entry page.

This is how you are guided through the required configurations step by step. Screenshots and notes also support you.

Assumed knowledge

Basic knowledge on WinCC V14 and TIA Portal is assumed.

Note Basics are explained in the SITRAIN course “SIMATIC WinCC SCADA in TIA Portal”.

1.2 Mode of operation

Overview

The following figure shows you how the components interact in this configuration example.

Figure 1-1

IPC

S7-1507S WinCC V14 SP1 RT Prof.

Communication channel

Communications driver/channel

A communications driver is a software component that establishes a connection between an automation system and the WinCC Tag Management, enabling the exchange of WinCC tags with process values. WinCC provides a large number of communications drivers for connecting different automation systems using different bus systems, for example, "SIMATIC S7-1200, S7-1500 Channel". Communications drivers in WinCC are also called "channels".

A communications driver has different channel units for different communications networks.

Channel unit

Each channel unit is the interface to exactly one lower-level hardware driver, i.e., to exactly one communications processor in the PC. As a result, each channel unit used must be assigned the associated communications processor.

For some channel units, additional configuration is performed in the so-called system parameters.

Logical connection

If the connection between WinCC and the automation system is physically correct, WinCC requires a communications driver and an associated channel unit to establish / configure a logical connection to the automation system. In Runtime, this connection is used for data exchange.

In the project tree, select the individual PC systems and compile the configuration. If errors occur during the compilation, fix them.

Download the configuration into the provided IPC (277E), using the software controller. When downloading the project for the first time, the PC station is configured on the IPC first and then the software controller is loaded.

Note With a SIMATIC IPC, always use the "X1" interface to download the project. When changing the hardware configuration in STEP 7 as well as when downloading for the first time, you must not download the project via the interface assigned to the CPU ("X2").

When downloading the project for the first time and when certain changes are made, a STEP 7 message indicates that the target system must be restarted. The target system is automatically restarted.

The CPU starts in STOP mode to allow that the download process continues. STEP 7 automatically establishes a connection to the CPU. To complete the download process, click the "Load" button again.

Result

When downloading has successfully completed, the CPU shortcut appears in the Windows Start menu; its name is the one you assigned in the CPU settings in STEP 7. The name assigned in STEP 7 is also visible on the CPU's display. Now you can start the software controller.

Loading Runtime in the IPC

Load the PC station with the configured Runtime of the IPC.

When loading Runtime it has to be observed that the target path of the “WinCC project” folder of the target computer is selected via the network.

Result

If loading was successfully completed the project is located on the target system in the path “C:>User>public>documents>Siemens>WinCCProjects”.

Checking the created connection

When the software controller has been started and Runtime is active you can check the connection using the “WinCC Channel Diagnosis” tool. This tool is automatically installed with Runtime Professional.

All existing connections of the PC station are automatically listed by the tool. Once the connection has been successfully established, it will be marked by a green check mark. By selecting the connection, you can call up more detailed information.
