Warning notice system

This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent

damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert

symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are

graded according to the degree of danger.

DANGER

indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING

indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION

with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION

without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTICE

indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the relevant information is not taken into account.

If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will

be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to

property damage.

Qualified Personnel

The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific

task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.

Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and

avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

Introduction 1

Contents of this Getting Started Manual

The practical sample in this Getting Started manual takes you through four steps, showing

you how to commission a fully functional application. You are going to learn how to

determine and configure application-dependent data and how to operate a control circuit.

This process will take one to two hours, depending on your experience.

314C-2 PN/DP STEP 7 as of V5.5 with HSP 191

● You have downloaded the sample projects from the Internet or have the CD of sample

projects included with the Technological Functions operating instructions.

● You have set up a project for the S7-300 station.

● The PG is connected to the CPU.

● The CPU is correctly connected to a power supply.

● I/O wiring is not required for this sample.

WARNING

Operation of an S7-300 as part of plants or systems is subject to special rules and

regulations, which depend on its field of application. Please make sure that you adhere

to the applicable safety and accident prevention regulations, for example IEC 204

(emergency stop systems).

You risk severe injury, or damage to machines and equipment if you ignore these

regulations.

Ensure the S7-300 is completely disconnected before wiring!

You can come into contact with live wires if the PS 307 power supply module is turned

on or the PS power supply cable is connected to the main power supply.

\Siemens\STEP7\Examples via "File > Open ... > Sample projects" in SIMATIC Manager.

A window, divided into two sections, opens showing the title of the project.

2. Double-click the S7 program "Controlling 2 CONT_C".

The "Sources", "Blocks" and "Symbols" folders are displayed in the right-hand window.

3. Double-click on the "Blocks" container.

All blocks of the S7 program are displayed.

4. With the exception of system data, copy all the blocks to your project under "SIMATIC

300 Station > CPU 3xx > S7 Program > Blocks".

Block Name (in the toolbar) Description

OB 100 RESTART Restart OB

OB 35 CYC_INT5 Time-controlled OB 100 ms

3.3 3. Step: Setting parameters

Procedure

1. Start the parameter assignment interface with SIMATIC/STEP7/PID Control Parameter

Assignment.

The input dialog "PID Control" is displayed.

2. In PID control, open your project with "File > Open". Select instance DB 101 for SFB 41.

Acknowledge the dialog with "OK".

You are returned to the parameter assignment screen form. The configured parameters

are displayed. Changes to this sample program are not required.

3. Close the parameter assignment screen form with "File > Close".

The parameter assignment screen form is closed.

4. In SIMATIC Manager, select "SIMATIC 300 Station > CPU 3xx > S7 Program > Blocks".

All blocks of the S7 program are displayed.

5. Download all of the S7 blocks it contains to your CPU via "PLC > Download" (CPU in

STOP mode).

The program and configuration are downloaded from the PG to the CPU.

3.4 4. Step: Trial run

Procedure

1. In the "Blocks" directory, double-click on the variable table "VAT1" in your project.

The variable table for monitoring and modifying is displayed.

2. Go online with "PLC > Connect to > Configured CPU".

At the bottom right, you will see that the CPU is set to "STOP" mode.

3. Activate monitoring with "Variable > Monitor".

The current values of the addresses are displayed in the "Status Value" column.

4. Switch the CPU to RUN.

At the bottom right, you will see that the CPU is set to "RUN" mode. The controller is

started.

5. Modify the setpoint "SP_INT".

You can monitor the output value "OUTV" that is proportional to the setpoint "SP_INT".

6. Call the STEP 7 tool PID Control (see step 3). Select instance DB 101 and click "Online"

mode. In the "Test" menu, select and start the "Curve plotter" function.

You can view the graphic profile of some of the control variables (actual value, setpoint,

control offset, etc.).
