Fundamental safety instructions

1.1

General safety instructions

WARNING

Electric shock and danger to life due to other energy sources

Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.

● Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified for this job.

● Always observe the country-specific safety rules.

Generally, the following six steps apply when establishing safety:

1. Prepare for disconnection. Notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.

2. Isolate the drive system from the power supply and take measures to prevent it being

switched back on again.

3. Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.

4. Check that there is no voltage between any of the power connections, and between any of

the power connections and the protective conductor connection.

5. Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are de-energized.

6. Ensure that the motors cannot move.

7. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems, or

water. Switch the energy sources to a safe state.

8. Check that the correct drive system is completely locked.

After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness in the inverse sequence.

WARNING

Electric shock due to connection to an unsuitable power supply

When equipment is connected to an unsuitable power supply, exposed components may

carry a hazardous voltage. Contact with hazardous voltage can result in severe injury or death.

● Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV-

(Protective Extra Low Voltage) output voltages for all connections and terminals of the

electronics modules.

Configuration Manual, 12/2019, 6FC5397-8FP40-0BA2

Fundamental safety instructions

1.1 General safety instructions

WARNING

Electric shock due to equipment damage

Improper handling may cause damage to equipment. For damaged devices, hazardous

voltages can be present at the enclosure or at exposed components; if touched, this can result

in death or severe injury.

● Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the technical data during transport,

storage and operation.

● Do not use any damaged devices.

WARNING

Electric shock due to unconnected cable shields

Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnected

cable shields.

● As a minimum, connect cable shields and the cores of cables that are not used at one end

at the grounded housing potential.

WARNING

Electric shock if there is no ground connection

For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices with

protection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when touched,

can result in death or severe injury.

● Ground the device in compliance with the applicable regulations.

WARNING

Spread of fire from built-in devices

In the event of fire outbreak, the enclosures of built-in devices cannot prevent the escape of

fire and smoke. This can result in serious personal injury or property damage.

● Install built-in units in a suitable metal cabinet in such a way that personnel are protected

against fire and smoke, or take other appropriate measures to protect personnel.

● Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and monitored paths.

downtime and reduced service lives for devices/systems.

● Ensure compliance with the specified minimum clearance as ventilation clearance for the

respective component.

NOTICE

Overheating due to inadmissible mounting position

The device may overheat and therefore be damaged if mounted in an inadmissible position.

● Only operate the device in admissible mounting positions.

WARNING

Unexpected movement of machines caused by inactive safety functions

Inactive or non-adapted safety functions can trigger unexpected machine movements that

may result in serious injury or death.

● Observe the information in the appropriate product documentation before commissioning.

● Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to safety on the entire system, including

all safety-related components.

● Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and automation tasks are adjusted and

activated through appropriate parameterizing.

Introduction

2.1 Functional scope

2.1.1

WinCC Sm@rtServer Standalone supported

SINUMERIK Integrate Create MyHMI /WinCC helps to support the use of WinCC Sm@rtServer

Standalone.

WinCC Sm@rtServer Standalone allows you to use the Sm@rtServer functionality on PC

systems on which WinCC RT Advanced is not installed.

So, for example, you can operate an HMI device with WinCC RT Advanced and a configured

Sm@rtClient display without having to install WinCC RT Advanced on the PC system (server)

connected via the Sm@rtClient display.

Differences from the standard version of WinCC Sm@rtServer

Communication principle

WinCC uses different communication drivers to access these subcomponents.

● PLC

- Behaves like an S7-300 controller in respect to data communication.

- Uses the communication driver "SIMATIC S7-300/400".

● NCK

- Requires special tag descriptions and specific services.

- Uses the communication driver "SINUMERIK NC". The "SINUMERIK NC"

communication driver allows you to read/write NC tags and GUDs as well as to access

PI services.

3.2.4

Activating the virtual keyboard

If you use WinCC Runtime as a customer-specific framework application on an HMI device with

a touch screen, you can use the SINUMERIK Operate Virtual Keyboard as an on-screen

keyboard. You make the setting in SINUMERIK Operate (or in the registry) as described in this

chapter.

Alternatively, you can fall back on a hardware keyboard that must be additionally connected in

use cases that are not supported by the NC keyboard view (Page 133) (e.g. WinCC Runtime

system dialogs).

To adapt these settings after you have installed SINUMERIK Operate, you can execute the

setup again or check and modify the registry entries made by the setup.

In addition, you must define that you are using an virtual keyboard in the TIA Portal (Page 129).

Behavior during runtime

Basically, two different on-screen keyboards are available during runtime with Create MyHMI /

WinCC:

● SINUMERIK Operate Virtual Keyboard

(described in this chapter)

● Create MyHMI /WinCC NC keyboard view

If both on-screen keyboards are activated, the NC keyboard view has priority. There will never

be more than one on-screen keyboard displayed at a time. This also applies, for example, if the

NC keyboard view has been configured as a "NUM" type keyboard.

Display of the virtual keyboard during runtime

An (activated) virtual keyboard is always displayed when user entries are required. The virtual

keyboard is not displayed in SINUMERIK Operate (or in the NC operate view), but outside of

it or on a different layer of WinCC RT Advanced. The exact positioning can be defined in the

settings. The keyboard layout and the remaining configuration correspond to SINUMERIK

Operate or the standard on-screen keyboard of WinCC Runtime.

Comparison of functions

SINUMERIK Integrate Create MyHMI /WinCC provides a number of functional changes in

comparison with the SINUMERIK HMI configuration package WinCC flexible 2008. The

following tables compare the configurable scope of functions for the following possible

applications:

● Customer-specific SINUMERIK Operate operating area on a PC system

● Standalone user interface (without SINUMERIK Operate connection) on a SIMATIC Panel

(or PC system)

SINUMERIK Integrate Create MyHMI /WinCC also provides the capability of using WinCC

Runtime as a customer-specific framework application. This possible use is not configurable in

the SINUMERIK HMI configuration package WinCC flexible 2008.

4.2 Configure PLC variables symbolically

4.2

Configure PLC variables symbolically

You can continue to use the PLC tags you declared in STEP 7 V5.x in WinCC (TIA Portal).

To do this, you can basically either import your PLC tags, migrate or integrate the STEP 7 V5.x

project in the TIA Portal via a device proxy.

● Configuring a device proxy with the STEP 7 V5.x project as a data source (recommended)

- Read access to PLC tags that are declared in the STEP 7 V5.x project without migrating

them.

- Management of PLC tags in STEP 7 V5.x project and easy updating of the data source

in the TIA Portal for changes.

Further information can be found in Chapter Using device proxies (Page 72) and in the

respective application description under Shared configuration with WinCC (TIA Portal) and

STEP 7 V5.x (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/73502293 ).

● Conversion of the tag with the WinCC TagConverter

- You can use the WinCC TagConverter tool to create a conversion format with your tags

from your STEP 7 V5.x project, which you can used to import them into WinCC (TIA

Portal).

- If changes are made to the tags, they need to be updated using source export, WinCC

TagConverter and import source.

You can find this tool and relevant documentation on the Service & Support pages on the

Internet:

Tag converter for WinCC (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/56078300 )

You can find additional information in the related application description (for WinCC as of

V12) under Shared configuration with WinCC (TIA Portal) and STEP 7 V5.x (http://

support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/73502293).

4.3 Post processing of migrated GUD variables

4.3

Post processing of migrated GUD variables

After you have migrated a WinCC flexible project with GUD variables into the TIA Portal, you

must import the GUD variables (DEF files) into the TIA Portal and re-assign them in the "HMI

variables" editor to the migrated variables.

Requirement

● The configured GUD variables were migrated as HMI variables into TIA Portal.

● The GUD variables are imported (Page 92).

Procedure

To edit the migrated GUD variables, follow these steps:

1. In the project navigation in folder "HMI variables" click on the command "Show all variables",

e.g. "PC system_1 > HMI_RT_1 > HMI variables > Show all variables".

The editor "HMI variables" is opened, in which all variables are on display, including

migrated GUD variables.

2. In the "Address" field, click on the "Expand" symbol.

The dialog for selecting the SINUMERIK variables opens. You can find the migrated GUD

variables under "GUD: dynamic user data".

Figure 4-1

Dialog for selecting SINUMERIK variables with GUD

3. Navigate through the structure to the desired variable, select it and click the "Confirm" icon.

4. Click on the "Expand" icon in the "Address" field for each migrated variable, and select the

GUD variable to be addressed.

4.4 Indexing of R parameters and GUD arrays

4.4

Indexing of R parameters and GUD arrays

The method for indexing R parameters or GUD arrays in the TIA Portal depends on the

employed Runtime version or the corresponding SIMATIC Panel:

● If you configure a WinCC RT Advanced with a version earlier than 13.0.0.0 or a SIMATIC

Panel that uses an older Runtime version (CE Panel), note the following when indexing R

parameters and GUD arrays:

Address the R parameter higher by 1 than required during configuration. To display R5 in

runtime, for example, you need to configure R6. (This indexing method is the same method

used in WinCC flexible for SIMATIC CE panels.)

When configuring GUD arrays, address the first GUD element with index 1 (as already done

in WinCC flexible), e.g. def CHAN INT MyGUD[3]

Address the individual elements with MyGUD[1], MyGUD[2], MyGUD[3].

Note

Compatibility of simulation with RT Advanced < V13

The function "Simulation" (menu command "Online > Simulation > Start") uses a WinCC RT

Advanced V13. This only supports the new indexing method.

If you start a simulation for a WinCC RT Advanced with an older version, the tags will be

addressed incorrectly in the simulation.

● If you configure a WinCC RT Advanced as of version 13.0.0.0 (for example, all SIMATIC

Comfort Panels or a PCU 50.5 with WinCC RT Advanced), the exact R parameter you have

configured is displayed in runtime.

Projects integrated in STEP 7 cannot be migrated.

If a WinCC flexible project is integrated in STEP 7, then WinCC flexible ES can be selected

under "Project > Copy from STEP 7". After selecting an archive location, a copy of the

integrated STEP 7 project is saved there. This autonomous WinCC project can then be

migrated into the TIA Portal.

The connection of the symbols in STEP 7 is lost in the process.

4.6 Migration of two-dimensional GUD tags with column tag

4.6

Migration of two-dimensional GUD tags with column tag

Migrated two-dimensional GUD tags for which an index tag has been configured as "Column"

in WinCC flexible cannot be modified in the TIA Portal.

As can be seen in the screenshot, this index tag is entered in the "Column" field and grayed out

(cannot be edited) after migration of such a tag.

Figure 4-3

Migrated GUD tag with tag in the "Column" field

However, no index tags are allowed in the "Column" field in the TIA Portal, only fixed numbers.

The position of these GUD tags in the DEF file for this GUD group must be in the "Column" field.

● If a fixed value is entered in the "Column" field after migration, this value is correctly adjusted

when the tags are transferred to the TIA Portal.

● If there is a tag in the "Column" field after migration, it cannot be changed in the TIA Portal.

In this case, delete the GUD tag and create a new one.

There can be a tag in the "Row" field in the TIA Portal; this tag then determines the linearized

GUD array element.

4.7 Migration of alarm texts in the HMI-Advanced format

4.7

Migration of alarm texts in the HMI-Advanced format

In order to be able to continue to use your available alarm texts in SINUMERIK Operate and

WinCC, you can migrate these PowerLine alarm texts (HMI Advanced, HMI Embedded, e.g.

myalm_en.com). The DB2 alarms converted to the TS format, can be imported directly into the

TIA Portal (Page 105).

You can perform the migration with one of the following software products:

● HMI SolutionLine Alarm Text Converter

- Contained on the product DVD "CNC software <version> with SINUMERIK Operate":

\tools\alarm_text_converter\Setup_AlarmTextConverter.exe

- User alarm texts of the "com" format of HMI-Advanced/HMI-Embedded are converted to

the "ts" format of SINUMERIK Operate.

● SINUMERIK Integrate Access MyMachine /P2P

- Extensive software that is available separately in the SIEMENS Industry Mall.

- You will find general information on the software at SINUMERIK Integrate Access

MyMachine /P2P (Page 121).

- Specific information on the migration of alarm texts with AMM/P2P can be found in the

associated online help.

Migrating projects

You can migrate a SINUMERIK project as well as other projects from WinCC flexible to the

TIA Portal.

As a result of the various operating systems that can be used, you cannot install "SINUMERIK

HMI configuring package WinCC flexible 2008" and WinCC (TIA Portal) on the same PG/PC.

For the migration, you need the migration tool "Project migration for WinCC flexible 2008 SP2/

SP3", which you must select when setting up WinCC (TIA Portal) in the product configuration.

Figure 4-4

Setting up WinCC (TIA Portal): Set the option box for project migration

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to migration of SINUMERIK projects:

● You can migrate projects from WinCC flexible 2008 SP2

● WinCC flexible projects integrated in STEP 7 V5.x cannot be directly migrated (Page 53)

Read the information on migration provided below as well:

● SINUMERIK PCs and SIMATIC Panel PCs

● SIMATIC Panel

A tabular comparison of the functions in WinCC flexible and WinCC (TIA Portal) is available in

Special features for SINUMERIK projects

The following HMI devices with SINUMERIK components can be migrated:

● SINUMERIK PCs and SIMATIC Panel PCs

● SIMATIC Panel

SINUMERIK PCs and SIMATIC Panel PCs

The following must be observed when migrating SINUMERIK projects:

● In the TIA Portal, you configure the PC system (e.g. PCU 50.5) instead of the operator panel.

This is changed automatically during the migration. You enter the screen resolution of the

operator panel front in the runtime settings.

● The input controls specific to HMI Advanced are not transferred.

● HMI controls for file management and NC editor are not supported.

● Integration in the m:n concept is not supported.

● The communication driver for the PLC-channel SINUMERIK PLC is switched over to the

SIMATIC S7-300/400 communication driver.

● Automatic display of DB2 alarms is not supported.

Import the DB2 alarms separately to the TIA Portal.

For this, you need to add a SINUMERIK NCU or device proxy with a STEP 7 V5.x project as

the data sources.

● GUD tags are not automatically associated with the migration.

Connect migrated GUD tags again after the migration. (Page 50)

● Multidimensional GUD arrays are not used in the TIA Portal even with PC systems (as in

WinCC flexible for CE HMI devices).

Linearize multidimensional GUD arrays or create new ones.

● To use PLC tags from your STEP 7 V5.x project, you must either add a device-proxy or

convert the tags with the WinCC TagConverter.

See: Configure PLC variables symbolically (Page 49)

SIMATIC Panel

● SIMATIC panels as of version 13.0.0.0 support the SINUMERIK parameter indexing

method and must no longer contain the parameter number incremented by 1.

If you configure a SIMATIC Panel as of version 13.0.0.0, adjust the configuration of the R

parameters (Page 52).

system (Page 27) or add SINUMERIK functionalities to the SIMATIC Panel (Page 28).

Make a different selection for Runtime or the Runtime version depending on the HMI device

used:

● If you add a SIMATIC Panel, you do not need to insert Runtime separately. SIMATIC Panels

have integrated Runtime, which is automatically available when added. You select the

Runtime version when you add the SIMATIC Panel.

● When you add a PC HMI device and switch to the device view, Runtime is shown in the

hardware catalog. When you select Runtime, you can select the Runtime version in the

"Information" area of the hardware catalog.

Setting the screen resolution for the RT Advanced

If you have inserted a SINUMERIK PCU 50.5, a SIMATIC Box PC, or a standard PC, the

following screen resolution is reset for the runtime:

● SINUMERIK PCU 50.5 or SIMATIC Box PC: 800 x 600 (corresponds to SINUMERIK OP 12)

● Standard PC: 1024 x 768

Depending on the screen used, you must adapt this setting so that the configured display fills

the screen on the target system. If you enter the wrong screen resolution, the scroll bars or the

picture will not fill the screen on the HMI device. If you subsequently change the screen

resolution in the runtime settings, you must first enable the "Fit to screen" option in the settings

before making the settings in the TIA Portal (see below).

When you configure a SIMATIC Panel or a SIMATIC Panel PC, you do not have to adapt these

settings.

Requirement

● A project with a PC system and runtime software has been created.

See: Inserting PC system and Runtime (Page 62)

● The project view is active.

Procedure

To set the screen resolution of the target system, proceed as follows:

1. Activate the "Fit to screen" option button in the "Tools > Settings > Visualization > Resize

screens and screen objects" menu.

2. Open the runtime settings in the project tree, for example, under "PC_System_1 >

HMI_RT_1 > Runtime settings > Screen resolution".

Using device proxies

You can embed your STEP 7 V5.x project in the HMI configuration without having to migrate the

project. In this way, you can continue performing the programming and configuration of the PLC

project in STEP 7 V5.x and use WinCC (TIA Portal) for the HMI configuration.

Using a device proxy offers the following advantages when working with SINUMERIK Integrate

Create My HMI /WinCC:

● Configuration of an integrated connection to the PLC without installing STEP 7 (TIA Portal).

● Configuration of SINUMERIK DB2 alarms in the TIA Portal without installing STEP 7

(TIA Portal).

● Read access to PLC tags that are declared in the STEP 7 V5.x project without migrating

them.

● Management of PLC tags in STEP 7 V5.x project and easy updating of the data source in

the TIA Portal for changes.

Configure a device-proxy for this in the TIA Portal with the STEP 7 V5.x project as a data source.

Even if you subsequently change something in the STEP 7 V5.x project, you can easily apply

these changes in the TIA Portal by updating the device proxy data.
