2 PCS 7 Engineering System

2.1 PCS 7 Engineering Station

Overview This section explains the structure of a PCS 7 engineering station (simply referred to as PCS 7 ES below). The chapter explains the required hardware and software components and the essential combinations for application.

• PC Configurations of the PCS 7 ES

• Hardware of the PCS 7 ES

• Software of the PCS 7 ES

• Notes on Installing a PCS 7 ES

Introduction SIMATIC PCS 7 provides a comprehensive engineering system for configuring process control systems that allows projects to be worked on throughout a system and plant. The engineering system can be used for the entire range of projects from small systems to large manufacturing complexes.

The same tools are used to work with and manipulate the project database from the initial configuration of a plant through to the running of the plant. This means that the project data are created and maintained with identical tools during the entire life of a plant.

Engineering Station The PCS 7 ES is a PC or PC network on which the software for the essential configuration work for a PCS 7 project is installed (an example is shown in the figure below).

PCS 7 Engineering System


2.2 PC Configurations of the PCS 7 ES

Examples of Configurations

In a PCS 7 system, the following PC configurations are typical:

• PCS 7 ES on a Single PC

• PCS 7 ES for a Small System

• PCS 7 ES - Working on a Project with Several PCs

2.3 PCS 7 ES on a Single PC

Simple structure with one PCS 7 ES on a single PC (an example is shown in the figure below).

2.4 PCS 7 ES for a Small System

In a small system (for example a training station), a combination of PCS 7 ES and operator station can be used (for an example, see below).



2.5 PCS 7 ES - Working on a Project using Several PCs

It is possible for more than one user to work on a project. If it is not acceptable to perform the engineering tasks with only one PCS 7 ES, you can distribute the engineering work over several PCs. How to do this is described in Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station. The following variants are possible:

• Branching and Merging Projects

• Multiproject Engineering

• Multi-user Configuration

Branching and Merging Projects

The figure below illustrates the distribution of the project on separate engineering PCs. How to distribute (branch) and reassemble (merge) a project is described in the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station.



Advantages

• You can do the engineering work on PCs that are not part of the network (for example configuring at different locations).

• If you break up a master project, the connections between the charts are retained in the form of "textual interconnections".

• As long as you keep to the procedure as described in the Configuration Manual (Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station), you can configure as if you were working on independent projects.

Multiproject Engineering

The figure below illustrates the distribution of the multiproject (total project of a system) on separate engineering PCs.

Advantages

• Compared with working in the multiuser mode, a multiproject allows you to work more quickly because several users can work on parts of the multiproject (entire project of a system). How the users work: See table below.

• The entire project of a system can be divided into several smaller projects.

• Simple branching of the multiproject and merging of the projects (implementation of projects).

• Projects can consist of the configuration data for AS stations, OS stations or BATCH Engineering.

• Several projects can be stored on a PC. (See table below)

• The BATCH engineering can be done on a separate PC for a multiproject.

• The failure of the PC of a project affects only the data that are being edited on this PC. Functions that are required to run in the multiproject for all projects can be repeated when all the projects are available.

• By saving the multiproject, all projects are automatically backed up in one path.

• Within the context of a multiproject, PC 1 ("Client", operator) with PCS 7 can access a PCS 7 project stored on PC 2 ("Server") (for example for inter-project functions). How the user works depends on the way the projects are stored. A distinction is made between the following:

- central storage of the projects of a multiproject on a server and



- distributed storage of the projects of a multiproject.

Working Methods Dependent on the Type of Storage of the Projects of a Multiproject

Central storage of the projects of a multiproject on a server:

Distributed storage of the projects of a multiproject:

Operating system Since several projects can be open at the same time on a central server and inter-project functions can be started, only the use of the Windows 2000 Server operating system is permitted for the server (this is due to the restrictions that apply if other operating systems are used). The operating system on the other engineering PCs can be Windows 2000 Professional.

The operating system of the engineering PCs is Windows 2000 Professional. Due to the distributed storage of the projects (only one project per PC), the limitations of the Windows 2000 Professional operating system are not reached.

Storage of the data of the multiproject

The projects of the multiproject are located on one central server.

One project is located on one PC (every user has their "own project" on their PC).

Editing the data Every user can access the projects on the server from their engineering PC.

Each user only works on their own project. When inter-project functions are required, the PC on which the multiproject is stored must be used. It is advisable to select one user for inter-project functions.

Restrictions It is advisable to select one user for inter-project functions.

You avoid operating system restrictions and access conflicts if the users make sure that they open the projects separately; in other words not from within the multiproject.

If the PC with the multiproject is a server with the Windows 2000 Server operating system, both working methods can be used one after the other or alternately.

Example: During the initial phase of a multiproject, the projects can be distributed and are then edited locally. In the final phase of commissioning, the last jobs are performed only on the central server.

Further information

For further information on the requirements and recommendations for working with multiprojects, refer to:

• The online help: Help on STEP 7

• The Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station.

Multi-user Configuration

The graphic below illustrates engineering with separate PCs. How to edit project data is explained in the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station.



Caution!

Install the PCS 7 Toolset on the server PC.

• If neither the PCS 7 Toolset nor STEP 7 is installed on the server, the first client to log in to the project (for example Client 1) adopts the function of the (active) database server.

• If this client fails (for example due to a network failure or the client is turned off), no client that logged in after the failed client can access the project any longer.

• In the worst case, the failure of the database server on the client can lead to a loss of data since the data required for reorganization (for example following a power outage) are no longer available to the server. The data for reorganization is kept only locally on the client on which the database server is active.

The PCs of the individual users function as terminals in a network. All users store the project data on one PC.

Advantage

There is no additional effort required for data backup or data consistency

Note

Make sure that only one user ever works on one AS.

If you require several users to perform engineering work, multiproject engineering is recommended.

You should also read the information in the section "Notes on the Multiuser Configuration and on Using Network Drives" in the readme.wri file of the software package PCS 7 Toolset CD V6.0.

Configuring PCs for the Multiuser Configuration

If you want to perform your engineering work in a multi-user configuration, we recommend that you use a client-server configuration.

Clients

If a user wants to compile the program for a SIMATIC station, while other users work on the project, the following points should be noted:



• To avoid loss of performance, it is not advisable for more than 3 or 4 engineering clients to be connected to one engineering server.

• Make sure that the users coordinate the compilation programs of the SIMATIC stations and archiving of the projects with each other.

• Engineering of the hardware and network configuration of a station should be handled by only one user or be performed centrally from one PC.

2.6 Hardware of the PCS 7 ES

Basic Hardware

The basic hardware used with PCS 7 is listed in section "The PCS 7 PC Hardware, Software, and Installation".

We recommend that you use the tested components (refer to Process Control System PCS 7; Catalog ST PCS 7).

Optional Hardware Components

Work Memory

The size of the work memory used on the engineering s an essential factor governing the speed of the system.

2.10 Authorizations for the PCS 7 ES

With the software packages for PCS 7, you receive only the authorizations (license keys) required for the specific program package. With the introduction of the Automation License Manager, license keys and authorizations are handled in the same way. The PCS 7 Toolset package contains the software for several software products.

Authorizations for PCS 7 Engineering with CFC

In PCS 7 ES, a scalable authorization is required for engineering with CFC. The authorization required depends on the number of process objects configured in the CFC chart.

You can find out how many process objects are configured as follows:

1. Open any chart in CFC.

2. Click on the menu command Options > Chart Reference Data. The "Chart Reference Data" dialog opens.

3. Click on the menu command View > Statistics.

4. Result: You will find the number of "Process objects (x)" and the scale of the authorization (in the following example, see Figure: 430 Process Objects) in the "OCM-relevant process objects in the project" path.

Authorizations are available for the numbers of process objects shown below:

• 250 process objects




• Unlimited - unlimited number of process objects can be configured (per OS server limited to 8000 process objects)



Example: SIK/SIMATIC CFC V6.0

Authorization for an unlimited number of process objects (measuring points).

Note

When compiling an OS, approximately 30 external variables are obtained for the OS stations per process object. The authorizations for the OS stations differ from the ES authorizations since the authorization is per OS server.

Authorizations for SIMATIC PDM

In PCS 7, a scalable authorization is required for SIMATIC PDM. The authorization required depends on the number of configured devices. The authorization SIK/SIMATIC PDM basic software V5.2 includes the following authorizations:

• Communication over HART modem,

• Communication over RS-232,

• Communication over PROFIBUS DP/PA up to 4 TAGs (devices)

For SIMATIC PDM, the following authorizations are available for greater numbers of devices:

• 128 TAGs (This PDM authorization can be used to configure a maximum of 128 devices.)

• 512 TAGs

• 1024 TAGs

• 2048 TAGs

• unlimited number of devices

Example: SIK/SIMATIC PDM up to 512 TAGs

SIMATIC PDM for configuring up to 512 devices.

3 PCS 7 Operator Station

3.1 PCS 7 Operator Station

Overview This section describes the structure of PCs for operator control and monitoring (simply known as PCS 7 OS below ) of a PCS 7 system. The chapter explains the required hardware and software components and the essential combinations for application.

• PC Configurations of the PCS 7 OS

• Hardware of the PCS 7 OS

• Software of the PCS 7 OS

• Notes on Installing a PCS 7 OS

Introduction SIMATIC PCS 7 provides a fully integrated system for operator control and monitoring of process control systems. This meets all the requirements of a modern operator control and monitoring system. SIMATIC PCS 7 can be used for systems ranging from small to extremely large.

The configuration is created on the engineering system (PCS 7 ES) and the process is controlled during runtime from the PCS 7 OS. The sections of configured data relevant for control of the plant must be transferred from the PCS 7 ES to the PCS 7 OS.

Operator Control and Monitoring Stations A PCS 7 OS is a PC or a PC network on which the software for operator control and monitoring of a plant is installed.

PCS 7 Operator Station


3.2 PC Configurations of the PCS 7 OS


The following configurations are typical for a PCS 7 OS:

• OS Single Station

• Client-Server Configuration

An OS can be created with servers and assigned clients.

- OS Server

- Redundant OS Server

- OS Client

- OS Archive Server (OS server for archiving functions)

- Redundant OS Archive Server (structure as for Redundant OS Server)

Permanent operability achieved when...

More than one OS client is used with

the same configuration.

Different preferred servers are

configured in client projects

OCM stations distributed on

several servers

Several separate PCs are used with

the same configuration



3.3 OS Single Station

You can use the OS single station (single user system) for operator control and monitoring in small systems or sections of a system. Permanent operability of a plant can be achieved by using more than one OS with the same configuration.

Application

You can use the OS single station for the following:

• Small plants

• Local operator stations

• Training systems

Recommendation

If you want more than three OS single stations to access an AS, it makes more sense to use an OS server with three OS clients since with a client-server configuration:

• only the server accesses the data of the AS. The server distributes the data of the AS to the OS clients.

• the load on the AS and plant bus is reduced.

• common operator logs are kept.

Redundant OS Single Station

The OS Single Station can also be configured redundantly with the optional package "WinCC Redundancy".



3.4 OS Server

Application

You can use an OS server:

• In all types of system.

• To supply up to 32 clients with process data. Up to a total of 32 monitors can be operated on these clients (for example 8 clients each with a maximum of 4 monitors ).

• When you require a minimum load on the AS and require several operator control and monitoring stations.

• Permanent operability of a system can be achieved by using more than one OS server with the same configuration or redundant OS servers.

• Number of servers: see section "Number of Workstations"

Note

Using an OS server as an operator control and monitoring station is permitted as of PCS 7 V6.0 SP3 is no more than 4 OS clients are operated with this server.

Difference between Client-Server and Several Single Stations

One advantage of a client-server structure for operating the plant is that a uniform operator log is kept. On an OS single station, operator input is only registered locally.



3.5 Redundant OS Servers

Application

You should always use redundant OS server pairs when the availability of the operator control and monitoring system is essential in your system.

Properties

• A redundant OS server pair requires only one configuration (like one OS server).

• From client PC perspective, a redundant OS server pair behaves just like one OS server.

• In a project with a redundant OS server pair, the advantage is that if one of the OS servers fails, the process can continue to be operated and monitored using the redundant OS server without any interruption.


Note

Using an OS server (redundant) as an operator control and monitoring station is permitted as of PCS 7 V6.0 SP3 is no more than 4 OS clients are operated with this server.



Setting Redundancy

The installation of a component of a redundant OS server pair is just the same as the installation for an OS server.

To install a redundant OS server pair:

• Transfer the "SIK/SIMATIC WinCC Redundancy" authorization to the PCs that will operate as a redundant server pair.

• After creating a project, you must make the project-specific settings. Refer to the online help on WinCC "Redundancy".

The Redundancy optional package of WinCC ensures the data integrity of the operator stations in PCS 7 following the failure of an OS.

Redundant OS servers have to be connected via a redundancy cable.

OS Failover

In a system with redundant OS servers, you can achieve permanent operability by configuring different preferred servers for the client projects.

The clients fail over to the redundant partner (OS server):

• Immediately when an OS server is deactivated by the runtime user interface.

• Delayed for seconds (< 30 seconds, typically 15 seconds) if there is an interruption on the terminal bus (TCP/IP timeout).

• Immediately when the OS server becomes invalid (for example triggered by the failure of an OS server).

• When a communication connection to an AS component is interrupted and when this connection is capable of functioning with the redundant partner (OS server).

• When one or more applications fail on a PCS 7 OS (server, client). The signs of life of the installed WinCC applications are monitored by the WinCC application "Health Check".

Health Check

"Health Check" monitors the installed WinCC applications that are required to run on the computer.

"Health Check" performs the follow checks automatically:

• Checks the functionality of the required WinCC applications. If "Health Check" detects a problem, redundancy control triggers a failover after a certain time if the problem persists.

• Checks the status of processes (running, exists, entering state, exiting state).

Health Check is an expansion of the redundancy control for the applications that cannot be monitored by redundancy control. If Health Check detects a problem, redundancy control triggers the failover.



3.6 OS Client

Application

In PCS 7, an OS client is used as an operator control and monitoring station. The plant data is provided by an OS server.

• An OS client can access the data of up to 12 OS servers at the same time (for example plant sections within a project).

• You can achieve permanent operability by configuring different preferred servers for the OS client projects in a system with redundant OS servers.

Caution!

If OS clients access servers of different PCS 7 projects, you must assign different OS names (not the PC names) (for example Proj1OS1, Proj2OS1 etc.).

Overview of a Client

Client

Technological distribution of a project

You can distribute a project on several OS servers (redundant OS servers must be configured identically).

Configuration data When the OS is compiled, the project data for the OS stations (clients and server) is generated.

The client and every OS server has its own project.

Process interface The attachment to the plant bus, data storage, and the processing of process data is implemented by the OS server.



3.7 OS Archive Server

In PCS 7 Version 6, you can specify the maximum number of process values that can be archived in a system within a certain time during the configuration of your server. The following options are available to you for archiving process values:

Configuration Maximum Number of Process Values

OS server with all server applications on one PC

Archiving of up to 1000 process values per second

OS archive server only for archive applications (TAG logging)

Archiving of up to 5000 process values per second

An OS process value for archiving corresponds to one archive TAG.

Note

The changes to process values over time are stored on the OS archive server.

Alarms and events are archived on the OS server.

Authorization

The authorization required depends on the number of process values (yATg) see section "Authorizations for the PCS 7 OS".

Number of Servers

See section "Number of Workstations"

OS server with all server applications on one PC

On an OS server that is used for all server tasks, up to 1000 process values can be archived per second.



OS archive server only for archive applications (TAG logging)

• Implemented by server-server communication

• WinCC server without process interface (no interface to the plant bus necessary).

• The process values are transferred from the OS servers to the OS archive server.

• Clients fetch the archive values from the archive server (redundant archive server possible).

• With one OS archive server, up to 5000 process values (TAGs) can be archived per second.

Further information

Long-term archiving with the optional package "StoragePlus":

StoragePlus is meant for archiving diverse data from PCS 7 in a central database on a long-term period.

Note

StoragePlus is are not part of the PCS 7 Toolset CD Version 6.0 program package.

see section "Long-term archiving with StoragePlus"



3.8 Hardware of the PCS 7 OS

Basic Hardware

The basic hardware used with PCS 7 is listed in section "The PCS 7 PC Hardware, Software, and Installation".


Graphics

With a suitable multi VGA card, you can connect up to 4 monitors for operator control and monitoring of the process on one OS client PC.

Bus Interfacing

• Terminal bus A PCS 7 OS interfaces with the terminal bus over an Ethernet card.

• Plant bus The attachment of PCS 7 OS components (OS single station, OS server redundant, and OS server) to the plant bus can be implemented using various interface modules for Industrial Ethernet:

- CP 1613 recommended

- Standard Ethernet module or CP 1612 or CP 1512 PCMCIA (no attachment of redundant connections and only a maximum of 8 AS connections possible)

Signaling Devices

The possible options are available for outputting message signals:

• You can activate up to 3 signal contacts (for example for different signaling devices - acoustic/optical) using a standard signaling module for PCS 7 PCs.

• You can use a PC sound card for outputting signals.

• You can use sound cards and standard signaling modules at the same time.

• With the sound card, you can play an individual sound for each of the maximum 16 message classes.

You create the configuration in the "Acoustic signal" editor.



3.9 Software of the PCS 7 OS

3.10 Authorizations for the PCS 7 OS

The PCS 7 Toolset package contains the software for several software products. With the software packages for PCS 7, you receive only the authorizations (license keys) required for the specific program package.

PCS 7 OS Authorization

For each PCS 7 OS station, you require a scalable authorization.

PCS 7 OS distinguishes between the following authorizations:

• RT authorizations allowing unlimited (in terms of time) use of WinCC in the runtime mode. The use of the editors is possible only in the demonstration mode for a limited time.

• RC authorizations allowing the use of WinCC in the runtime mode and in the configuration mode with no time limits.

For process objects (PO), different numbers of external variables (PowerTag - PTg) are required for visualization. To calculate which authorization is necessary, an average of approximately 30 external variables is assumed per process object.

The authorization required to archive process values in the OS project depends on the number of process values (archive TAGs - ATg).

The RT (xPTg)(yATg) / RC (xPTg)(yATg) authorization specifies how many external variables (xPTg) and process values (yATg) are permitted for the configuration.

Example

RC 8000 PTg 512 ATg

With this authorization, you can define the following configuration:

• Up to 8000 external variables (8000 PTg) and

• up to 512 process values (512 ATg).



Scaling of the authorization for external variables ( PowerTag - PTg)

If you use the "Compile OS" function in the SIMATIC Manager, you can obtain the number of configured external variables in the WinCC Explorer as follows:

1. Select the OS.

2. Result: In the right-hand dialog window, you will find the number of configured external variables (see figure below "External Variables 1328" configured).

The authorization allows you to configure a certain number of external variables that can be controlled and monitored at the PCS 7 OS. Projects in which SIMATIC BATCH is used require higher authorizations.

OS single station, OS server, redundant OS server OS Client

Authorization

Number of external variables

8000 external variables = authorization 250 PO 64K external variables = authorization 2000 PO 100K external variables = authorization 3000 PO 150K external variables = authorization 5000 PO 256K external variables = authorization 8500 PO

128 (with 512ATg see Authorization Process Values)

Scaling of the authorization process values (archive TAG - ATg)

You will find the number of process values used in the OS project in the "Tag Logging" editor (see figure below, bottom right, 15 process values configured of 512 authorized process values).



The authorization allows you to archive a certain number of process values with PCS 7 OS. The basic package is supplied with an authorization for 512 process values. The following scaled authorizations are available for OS server and OS single station:

• Maximum of 512 archivable process values (for OS client and basic authorization for OS server)

• 512 through 1500 archivable process values (powerpack)




You care increase the number of archivable process values using powerpacks.

Example:

If you need to archive approximately 20,000 and process values, install the basic authorization and the powerpacks for 1500 through 30000 process values (3).

Note

If you open a project with an inadequate number of authorized variables, the OS program automatically switches to the demonstration mode.

On a client with an RT/RC authorization, the maximum number of power tags (PTg and archive tags (ATg) is permitted since the number of tags is checked only on the server.

4 SIMATIC BATCH

4.1 SIMATIC BATCH

Overview

This section explains the structure of PCs for implementing batch process control in a PCS 7 system. The required hardware and software components and the basic application combinations are explained.

• PC Configurations for SIMATIC BATCH

• Hardware for the BATCH PC

• Software for the BATCH PC

• Notes on Installing SIMATIC BATCH

Introduction

To implement batch process controls, SIMATIC PCS 7 uses the SIMATIC BATCH software. SIMATIC BATCH can be used for the entire range of projects from small systems to large manufacturing complexes.

SIMATIC BATCH is fully integrated in the PCS 7 system.

Operator Control and Monitoring with SIMATIC BATCH

PCs for operator control and monitoring of batch processes are simply called BATCH PCs in the rest of this section. The BATCH PC is a PC on which the software for working with SIMATIC BATCH is installed.

To make sure that the information required for a BATCH client is available, the following condition must be met:

A BATCH PC always requires access to the run-time data of a PCS 7 OS station via the BATCH server.

SIMATIC BATCH


Configurations

Normally, the following client combinations are used with SIMATIC BATCH:

• Separate PCs for PCS 7 OS and SIMATIC BATCH

• PCS 7 OS and SIMATIC BATCH combined on one PC.

BATCH Engineering

The process cell (plant) data are created on the PCS 7 ES with BATCH Engineering.

The process cell data contain the following information for SIMATIC BATCH:

• The PCs belonging to the process cell and the tasks assigned to the PCs

• The communications interfaces

• The parameters to be transferred

• The interface blocks to be used

SIMATIC BATCH


4.2 PC Configurations for SIMATIC BATCH

Using separate PCs speeds up the processing of all data.

The following configurations are typical for a BATCH PC:

• BATCH Single Station

• Client-Server Configuration

A SIMATIC BATCH network can be set up with servers and assigned clients.

- BATCH Server

- Redundant BATCH servers

- BATCH Client

Prior to installation , make sure that you are aware of the configuration options.

4.3 BATCH Single Station

You can install BATCH on a single PC. This configuration is suitable only for small systems.

SIMATIC BATCH


4.4 BATCH Server

• The process data is processed by the BATCH server.

• The BATCH server can access the process data only using the OS components.

• The project data and the process data are kept on the BATCH server where they are available to the BATCH clients.

• There can only ever be one BATCH server in a BATCH project.

• There can only ever be one BATCH server in a PCS 7 project.

• There can be more than one BATCH Server in a network.


SIMATIC BATCH


4.5 Redundant BATCH servers

You can increase the availability by setting up redundant BATCH Server PCs.

A redundant server pair behaves like one server from the perspective of the process.

Redundant BATCH Server PCs allow the software to be updated during operation.

Redundancy with Data Replication

The implementation of a redundant BATCH Server PC depends on the requirements for data storage, the failover times, and the resources.

Redundancy is achieved by two BATCH Servers with a master/standby failover if a problem occurs. Databases are installed on each of the BATCH Servers. Data is stored on each BATCH Server. The standby server synchronizes the data using database functions. By constantly synchronizing the databases (data replication) between the servers, the BATCH applications can always access the current data of the active BATCH Server. If one BATCH Server PC fails, the other continues with the current data.

Number of Servers

See section "Number of Workstations"

SIMATIC BATCH


4.6 BATCH Client

• The BATCH client opens the server project over the network; in other words, it does not have its own BATCH project.

• The data of several BATCH projects/servers can be stored on one BATCH client. A client application can only work with one project/server.

• The number of BATCH clients on one BATCH server is limited only by the load on the server (32 clients on one server did not cause any problems during load tests).

Data Exchange

The link between different BATCH PCs and between BATCH stations and OS stations is over the terminal bus.

Points to Note about the BATCH Client

Note the following special situations:

• The user login depends on the run status of the OS client. When the BATCH client applications start, the following login is adopted:

- OS client in RUN status - the OS user of the OS client.

- OS client not in RUN status - the operating system user of the PC.

• The BATCH client applications work with only one BATCH Server and all OS servers configured in the BATCH project that have relations with the BATCH server.

• If you install BATCH client applications on an OS client, the OS servers always remain the same for the BATCH client applications regardless of the active OS server of the OS installation.

SIMATIC BATCH


4.7 Hardware for the BATCH PC

SIMATIC BATCH client installations can also be installed on PCS 7 OS clients because the program package is integrated in the PCS 7 process control system. The basic hardware used with PCS 7 is listed in section "The PCS 7 PC Hardware, Software, and Installation".


Required hard disk space

• SIMATIC BATCH software To install the files on the hard disk of a BATCH station, you require space of approximately 60 Mbytes.

• SIMATIC BATCH database If you make a standard installation of SIMATIC BATCH, databases are created in the following folders:

Database Drive folder: Required hard disk space

Dictionary (schema) database

....\Siemens\BATCH\sbdata\ global\dict\...

Approx. 1-2 Mbytes

Global database ....\Siemens\BATCH\sbdata\ SB6_xxxxxxxxxx\offline\...

Approx. 1-2 Mbytes

Offline database ....\Siemens\BATCH\sbdata\ SB6_xxxxxxxxxx\online\...

Dependent on the size of the process cell data, recipes, and library objects

Online database ....\Siemens\BATCH\sbdata\ SB6_xxxxxxxxxx\project\...

Dependent on the size of the process cell data and number of batches

• Restoring data To restore the data following a system problem, SIMATIC BATCH creates a database recovery file.

- This file grows depending on the actions performed on the database.

- The size of the file can be restricted.

Printers

You require a printer if you want to print out recipes or batch reports.

All graphics printers supported by Windows 2000 are suitable. The software was tested with HP laser printers.

Multi VGA cards

If you use multi VGA cards (up to 4 monitors on one PC), SIMATIC BATCH is always displayed on the first monitor.

SIMATIC BATCH


4.8 Software for the BATCH PC

6 PC Components in the Network

6.1 Communication with PCs

In PCS 7 version 6.0 Industrial Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) is recommended for communication on the terminal bus and the plant bus. The following bus systems will be looked at more closely:

• Terminal bus

• Plant bus

Terminal bus

In PCS 7, the terminal bus is used for the following:

• To download to the operator stations (OS) from the engineering station (ES).

• To transfer the data prepared by the OS servers to the operator control and monitoring station.

• To provide communication between the OS stations and BATCH stations.

• To communicate with @PCS 7 components.

The TCP/IP protocol is used.

PC Components in the Network


Plant Bus

In PCS 7, the plant bus is used for the following:

• For communication between AS and AS

• For communication between AS and OS

• For downloading to the AS

• For downloading to the PC station

You can set the following protocols on the plant bus :

• ISO protocol: This is recommended to achieve better performance on the connections between PCS 7 PC components and SIMATIC stations.

• TCP/IP protocol

Note

A mixture of ISO protocol and TCP/IP protocol is not permitted.

OPC Server

In PCS 7, you can use an OPC server (see section "Interfacing OCM Systems over OPC").

Further information

For more detailed information on network components, refer to the catalog Process Control System PCS 7; Catalog ST PCS 7.



6.2 PC Components in the Network

This section provides you with an overview of the networks with PC components used in PCS 7.

The type of network used depends on the following factors:

• The number of connected PCs

• The span of the planned network

• The required transmission rate for the data

The design of the network depends on other factors such as:

• Availability (redundancy)

• Expandability (maximum number of bus nodes)

• Immunity to noise (cable shielding, problems resulting from magnetic and electrical fields)

By selecting suitable components you can influence operation and performance:

• Break networks down into smaller subnets (gateways, bridges, switches)

• Reduce or eliminate the effects of interference caused by magnetic and electric fields (fiber-optic components)

• Establish communication with distant stations (modem, router)

• Simplify commissioning and service in the LAN

Planning and Design Notes

In PCS 7, Industrial Ethernet is recommended as the network type for communication with PC components and between PC components.

• If you want to exchange data with non-PCS 7 networks, note the following points:

- Design and structure the network for the PCS 7 components so that no noise can affect the PCS 7 network.

- To interconnect (and isolate) the networks use suitably configured switches, routers or gateways.

• If you want to establish communication between a redundant AS (SIMATIC H Station) and an OS server/an OS Single Station, this communication should be established via a CP 1613.



6.3 Downloading the AS Configuration

The first time you download to the AS you have the following options:

• Downloading to the AS over Industrial Ethernet

• Download to the AS over MPI

Downloading to the AS over Industrial Ethernet

Requirement:

• The AS must have a SIMATIC CP installed with a fixed MAC address (for example, type: 6GK7443-1EX11-0XE0 firmware 2.0).

• The SIMATIC CP with a fixed MAC address should be accessible directly (without connectivity devices, for example switches) over Industrial Ethernet from the PCS 7 ES.

Further information

For more detailed information on downloading over Industrial Ethernet, refer to the following manual:

Manual; S7-CPs for Industrial Ethernet / Part B4 - CP 443-1; Section Configuring with STEP 7 - Assigning Addresses the First Time.

Downloading to the AS over MPI

Requirement:

• a PC with an MPI card (for example a PCS 7 ES with a CP 5611).

• an MPI cable

• PCS 7 or STEP 7 installed

• a project with the correct hardware configuration.

Downloading the hardware configuration is explained in the help on STEP 7 "Setting the PG/PC Interface" and in the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station.

1. Establish a connection between the PC and AS with an MPI cable.

2. Set the access path to the AS to the MPI card.

3. Download the hardware configuration to the AS.

After successfully downloading of the hardware configuration to the AS, change over the access path to the AS to Industrial Ethernet. This allows you to download the configured data to the AS more quickly.



6.4 Interfacing OCM Systems over OPC

OLE for Process Control (OPC) provides a standard mechanism for communication with numerous data sources. It is does not matter whether these sources are machines in your factory or a database in your control center.

Interfacing OCM Systems over OPC

OPC is based on the OLE/COM technology of Microsoft. The OPC interfaces of PCS 7 meet the requirements of the OPC Foundation.

For PCS 7, data exchange based on process variables (data access) is possible.

For more detailed information on OPC, refer to the documentation "OLE for Process Control Data Access Standard, Version 2.0" published by the OPC Foundation.

PCS 7 OS Server with OPC Data Access Server

The applications of the OPC interface are based on the client-server model. Along with the PCS 7 Toolset CD program package, an OPC Data Access Server is also installed. Each OPC client application can access process data (tag management) of this OPC server.

The PCS 7 OS server provides the functionality of data access as the interface to the systems in industrial communication. The PCS 7 OS server can be used as

• OPC Data Access Server

or

• OPC Data Access Client.

On the PCS 7 OS server, you can use OPC to establish a connection to several operator stations. You can also established the direction to the operator station over a network (for example a local data network).

6.5 Time-of-Day Synchronization

6.5.1 Time-of-Day Synchronization in the PCS 7 Project

In a PCS 7 system, all the systems should work synchronously. This requires synchronization of all components:

• Synchronizing the AS

• Synchronization of the systems for operator control and monitoring in the system.

Note

To synchronize the Systems of the PCS 7 Box, please use the manual; Process Control System PCS 7, SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX.

Synchronizing the AS

There are several ways of synchronizing the time of day on the AS in PCS 7 as shown below:

An AS can operate on the plant bus as:

• Time master or

• Time slave

Further information

For information on configuring the time-of-day synchronization for an AS, refer to the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station.

Synchronizing the Systems for Operator Control and Monitoring of the Plant

To synchronize the time-of-day of the PCs you have the following options in PCS 7:

• Synchronizing the Time of Day over the Plant Bus

• Synchronizing the Time of Day over the Terminal Bus

Further information on synchronizing an operator station

The configuration and synchronization of the time-of-day on an operator station is described in the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Operator Station .

Further information on synchronizing BATCH stations

You can synchronize the time-of-day of a BATCH station using operating system tools.



6.5.2 Synchronizing the Time of Day over the Plant Bus

Note


OS servers and automation systems are connected to the plant bus.

• As a rule, all OS servers are specified as time masters, so that every OS server acting as a passive time master can become an active time master in the event of a timer failure.

• All automation systems are basically time slaves.

Requirement

Time synchronization via the plant bus requires one of the following interfaces:

• CP1613

• Network card in combination with BCE software

The interfaces provide the following options:

• Sending and receiving of time message frames

• Saving of time

• Configuration as time master or time slave

Further information

For more detailed information on configuring synchronization of the time-of-day on an operator station, refer to the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Operator Station.



6.5.3 Synchronizing the Time of Day over the Terminal Bus

Note


The terminal bus connects OS clients to OS servers. In certain network configurations, the terminal bus can also connect the remaining company network. In the PCS 7 environment, you will use the following two settings for the terminal bus to assign parameters for time synchronization:

• The "Use the time from a connected WinCC server" option is important for the time synchronization of OS clients: All OS servers on the terminal bus for which the OS client has downloaded server data can act as time masters for an OS client. OS clients have only simple network cards. They cannot send or receive time message frames; instead, they query the time from the OS server in fixed cycles.

• The "Use the time from a specific computer" option is important for time synchronization of OS servers. The computer names input in this case correspond to the computer names of the domain controllers in the Windows 2000 network. By default, the OS server receives the time from computer 1. If this domain controller fails, then the OS server receives the time from the second, redundant domain controller.

Setting the Time of Day Using External Components

The "Let time be set by external (third party) components" option is not applicable in the PCS 7 environment.

Synchronization of Runtime Components of PCS 7 OS

• With the "Time Synchronization" editor, you can make the settings for configuring the components of PCS 7 OS.

• You can open the editor in the WinCC Explorer with the following menu command: Editors > Time Synchronization.

Further information

For more detailed information on configuring synchronization of the time-of-day on an operator station, refer to the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Operator Station.
