Notice

Protection class IP65

Protection class IP65 at the terminal box is ensured with plugged-in Mobile Panel 177 or

plugged-in dummy cap.

Variants

The terminal boxes are available in the following variants:

• Terminal Box Basic

• Terminal Box Plus

The two types of terminal boxes differ in the manner in which the circuit evaluates the Stop

Circuit or Emergency Stop signal of the system to be monitored and the corresponding

response to the system itself that is being monitored.

Note

The exterior of the terminal box variants differ only in the printing on the side.

Note

Recovery time

Wait for approx. one second after you have removed the connecting cable from the terminal

box before you plug the connecting cable back in.

After power failures of less than one second the connecting cable has to be disconnected.

Division of the system into zones

You can divide a system into several zones or functional areas by using several terminal

boxes, whereby the safety functions can also be set up to be zone-specific. This means that

both enabling switches and STOP buttons can act in only one particular zone and not in

others.

Connection point recognition

You can set an individual box ID for each terminal box. The box ID allows connection point

recognition to be implemented.

Combination of connecting cable and terminal box

It is ensured by mechanical means that only the following combinations can be plugged:

• Mobile Panel 177 DP with connecting cable DP to the terminal box DP

• Mobile Panel 177 PN with connecting cable PN to the terminal box PN

Compatibility with the Mobile Panel 170

You can operate a Mobile Panel 170 on a terminal box DP for the Mobile Panel 177 DP. The

additional features of the new terminal box, for example the box ID, cannot be used with the

Mobile Panel 170.

A suitable measure to achieve Limit Class B for suppression of radio interference is, for

example:

• Use of filters in electrical supply lines

2.6 2.6 Risk analysis

Carrying out a risk analysis

The following standards must be used to perform the risk analysis:

• EN 292, General Machinery Directives

• EN 1050 Risk Assessment for Machinery

• EN 954-1 Safety of Machinery

These considerations lead to a safety category (B, 1, 2, 3, 4) in accordance with EN 954-1

that ultimately dictates how the safety-related aspects of the system to be monitored are to

be furnished.

The connection examples with three different monitoring devices show how Category 3 in

accordance with EN 954-1 can be achieved with the safety-related features of the Mobile

Panel 177. Attention must be paid that the overall concept of the system is designed with this

in mind.

2.7 Enable switch

Mobile Panel 177 (WinCC flexible)

Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0 2-7

2.7 2.7 Enable switch

Introduction

Enabling equipment consists of the enabling switches positioned on both sides of the Mobile

Panel 177.

Numerically controlled machines and systems are equpped with the operating modes

"Automatic mode" and "Special operation".

Safety is ensured in automatic mode by means of closed, isolating protective devices and/or

with functional non-isolating protective devices that block access.

In special operation the safety has to be ensured in a different manner than in automatic

mode. In special operation mode the danger zones of the machine or system are entered,

where controlled movements have to be possible.

Special operation

A reduced speed on the machine or in the system has to be specified for special operation

based on the risk assessment. An action must be possible only when the enabling

equipment is activated. The operator must have the necessary qualifications and be

acquainted with the details of the intended application.

Safety information

The safety-related aspects of the velocity reduction control and those for the enabling

equipment are designed in such a way that they satisfy the EN 954-1 safety category

determined by the risk analysis.

Safety Category 3 in accordance with EN 954-1:1996 can be achieved by implementing

enabling equipment with two circuits. The draft C standard for machine tools notes the

following:

"Enabling equipment can either be a 2-position command device in conjunction with a Stop

device or a 3-position command device. The 3-position command device is preferable."

The operating principles of enabling equipment are described in EN 60204. Through the

findings from accident investigations and the existence of technical solutions, the 3-stage

enabling switch became state of the art. Positions 1 and 3 of the enabling switch are Off

functions. Only the middle position allows the enabling function. EN 60204-1:1997 is

identical to IEC 60204-1, whereby the 3-stage enabling switch is gaining international

importance.

The Stop category of the enabling equipment must be selected on the basis of a risk

assessment and correspond to a Category 0 or 1 Stop.

Warning

Enabling switches may only be used if the person activating them promptly recognizes a

danger to personnel and can immediately take steps to avoid the danger!

Commands for unsafe conditions are not permitted to be issued with one enabling switch

alone. For this purpose, a second deliberate start command via a button on the Mobile Panel

177 is required. The only person allowed to remain in the danger zone is the person who is

activating the enabling switch.

Mobile Panel 177 (WinCC flexible)

2-8 Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0

Risk from improper use

To avoid risk from improper use of the enabling switches, the following actions must be

deliberately taken:

• Scan the enabling switches.

The scan has to be carried out for the followed processes:

– When the system being monitored is being switched on

– When the operating mode changes from "Automatic" to "Manual mode"

In both cases, the enabling function may not be used.

• The enabling switch must be released within a specified time frame and returned to the

"Enable" setting.

Select the time frame according to the activity on the system being monitored.

2.8 2.8 STOP button

Safety information

The STOP button on the HMI device brings about a safety-related stop of the system or

machine in accordance with EN 60204-1:1997, Section 9.2.5.3. You have the option of

implementing a Category 0, 1 or 2 Stop function in accordance with EN 60204-1: 1997,

Section 9.2.2. The Stop function category must be selected on the basis of a risk

assessment.

The Stop function of the HMI device can, therefore, be used as a reliable machine stop as

well as for looping in the Emergency Stop circuit of the system.

The signals of the STOP button are connected up differently in the Terminal Box Plus and in

the Terminal Box Basic.

• Terminal Box Plus

In the terminal box, the signals control the Stop or Emergency Stop circuit of the system

or machine. If the HMI device is not connected, the Stop or Emergency Stop circuit is

closed.

• Terminal Box Basic

With the Terminal Box Basic the signals of the Stop or Emergency Stop circuit are

controlled via the STOP button. If the Mobile Panel 177 is not connected, the Stop or

Emergency Stop circuit of the system or machine is open.

Stop loop through

The Stop or Emergency Off circuit of the system or machine is looped through the Terminal

Box Plus and not interrupted. The Stop or Emergency Stop circuit is interrupted if:

• The STOP button is pressed on a connected Mobile Panel 177

• A Mobile Panel 177 with pressed STOP button is connected

This functionality is only available in the Terminal Box Plus.

Warning

HMI device with STOP button

If the HMI device is equipped with a STOP button and is not connected to the terminal box, a

Stop cannot be initiated using the HMI device. The STOP button of the HMI device is then

ineffective!

Install stationary Emergency Off buttons that are available at all times in the system.

Stop of Category 0 or 1:

If the circuit is implemented as a category 0 or 1 Stop, the Stop function must be effective

regardless of the operating mode. A Category 0 Stop must have priority. Releasing the

STOP button must not initiate a dangerous situation (see also EN 60204-1:1997, Section

9.2.5.3).

The Stop function is not to be used to replace safety equipment.

Notice

4.4.6 Connecting the Equipotential Bonding Circuit

Potential differences

Differences in potential between spatially separated system parts can lead to high equalizing

currents via the data cables and therefore to the destruction of their interfaces. This situation

may arise if the cable shields are fitted at both ends and grounded at different system parts.

Potential differences may develop when a system is connected to different network inputs.

General requirements of equipotential bonding

Potential differences must be reduced by means of equipotential bonding in order to ensure

trouble-free operation of the relevant components of the electronic system. The following

must therefore be observed when installing the equipotential bonding circuit:

• The effectiveness of equipotential bonding increases as the impedance of the

equipotential bonding conductor decreases or as the size of its cross-section increases.

• If two system parts are connected to each other via shielded data lines with shielding

connected to the grounding/protective conductor on both sides, the impedance of the

additionally installed equipotential bonding cables may not exceed 10% of the shielding

impedance.

• The cross-section of a selected equipotential bonding conductor must be capable of

handling the maximum equalizing current. Experience shows that the best results for

equipotential bonding between cabinets are achieved with a minimum conductor cross-

section of 16 mm2.

• Use equipotential bonding conductors made of copper or galvanized steel. Establish a

large-surface contact between the equipotential bonding conductors and the

grounding/protective conductor and protect these from corrosion.

• Clamp the shielding of the data cable on the HMI device onto the equipotential bonding

strip so that it is flush and near using suitable cable clamps.

• Route the equipotential bonding conductor and data cables in parallel with minimum

clearance between these.

Notice

Equipotential bonding conduction

Cable shielding is not suitable for equipotential bonding. Always use the prescribed

equipotential bonding conductors. The minimum cross-section of a conductor used for

equipotential bonding is 16 mm². When you install MPI and PROFIBUS DP networks,

always use cables with a sufficient crosssection since otherwise the interface modules

may be damaged or destroyed.

Compressing the internal program memory with SIMATIC S5

Caution

Compressing the internal program memory

Compressing the internal program memory of the SIMATIC S5 PLC ("Compress" PU

function, integrated FB COMPR) is not permitted if an HMI device is connected! When

memory is compressed, the absolute addresses of the blocks in the program memory

change. Since the HMI device only reads the address list during startup, it does not

recognize the address change and accesses the wrong memory areas.

If you cannot avoid compressing memory during operation, turn off the HMI device before

running the compress function.

5.1.3 Enable switch

Introduction

Enabling equipment consists of two enabling switches arranged on both sides of the Mobile

Panel 177. The switch setting of the two enabling switches is determined by electrical

momentary contact switches. The associated evaluating logic involves two channels for each

enabling switch. Each channel converts the information of the enabling switch into digital and

analog information (diversity).



Figure 5-2 Enable switch

① Enable switch

Operation

You only have to activate one enabling switch. No feedback is provided to the PLC on

whether the Mobile Panel 177 is operated with one hand or two hands.

Note

Because there is no electrical connection between the enabling switch and the membrane

keyboard, the enabling switches and the membrane keyboard can be operated

simultaneously.

When an external monitoring device is used, the enabling switches satisfy Category 3 safety

requirements as defined in EN 954.

5.1.4 STOP button

5.1.4.1 Overview

Introduction

The STOP button is an optional control element on Mobile Panel 177. The STOP button is

designed with 2 circuits and allows a safety-related stop of the system being monitored.

When an external monitoring device is used, the STOP button fulfils Category 3 safety

requirements as defined in EN 954. For further safety instructions please refer to the safety

instructions and general notes chapter.

Depending on the terminal box utilized, the stop circuit will be opened when the Mobile Panel

177 is unplugged or the circuit will be automatically short-circuited by the terminal box.

Possible application areas for the STOP button:

• The STOP button can be used to quickly stop the system being monitored (system,

machine, or machine zone) according to the process cycle. The Stop operation can occur

with or without a power shutdown.

Advantages:

– Containing the sphere of action

– Faster restart

– No loss of machine coordinates and, thus, no recalibration upon restart

– Preservation of tool and workpiece

• Triggering the Emergency Stop function of a system being monitored by looping it in in

the Emergence Stop circuit.

Advantage:

Simple integration in an existing Emergency Stop circuit when the system to be

monitored has no option for a fast process stop.

Due to its profiled design, the STOP button is easily accessible. The STOP button is fall

protected by a special collar. As a result, while the STOP button can still be triggered if the

Mobile Panel 177 is dropped, it is nonetheless largely protected from damage.

Operation

The STOP button is operated by pressing the button. Once the stop operation has been

initiated, the STOP button remains engaged in the stop position.

Note

The STOP button engages compulsorily when activated.

Releasing the STOP button

Warning

If you activate the STOP button, thus bringing the system being monitored to a standstill, you

may only release the STOP button if the reason for stopping the system has been eliminated

and a safe restart is provided for.

To release the STOP button, it must be turned in a clockwise direction. The STOP button

then returns on its own to the starting position.

5.1.4.2 Safety functions of the STOP button

A STOP button is available as an optional operator control element on the Mobile Panel 177.

The STOP button on the Mobile Panel 177 brings about a safety-related Stop of the system

being monitored in accordance with EN 60204-1:1997, Section 9.2.5.3. You have the option

of implementing a Category 0, 1, or 2 Stop function in accordance with EN 60204-1: 1997,

Section 9.2.2. The stop function category must be selected on the basis of a risk

assessment.

The Mobile Panel 177's stop function can, therefore, be used as a reliable machine stop as

well as for looping in the Emergency Stop circuit of the system to be monitored.

The signals of the STOP button are wired differently in the two versions of the terminal box.

In the Terminal Box Plus, the signals control the Stop or Emergency Stop circuit of the

system being monitored. If the Mobile Panel 177 is not connected, the Stop or Emergency

Stop circuit is closed. In the Terminal Box Basic, on the other hand, the signals of the Stop or

Emergency Stop circuit are fed via the STOP button. If the Mobile Panel 177 is not

connected, the Stop or Emergency Stop circuit of the system being monitored is open.

The term "Stop loop through" has the following meaning:

The Stop or Emergency Stop circuit of the system being monitored is looped through the

terminal box and not interrupted, irrespective of whether the Mobile Panel 177 is connected

to the terminal box (and STOP button not activated).

This functionality is only available in the Terminal Box Plus.

Warning

Mobile Panel 177 with STOP button

If the Mobile Panel 177 is equipped with a STOP button and is not connected to the terminal

box, a Stop cannot be initiated using the Mobile Panel 177. The STOP button of the Mobile

Panel 177 is then ineffective.

Install stationary Emergency Off buttons that are available at all times on the system being

monitored.

Category 0 or 1 stop

If a Category 0 or 1 stop circuit is implemented, the stop function must be in effect

regardless of the operating mode. A Category 0 Stop must have precedence. Releasing the

STOP button must not initiate a dangerous situation (see also EN 60204-1:1997,

Section 9.2.5.3).

The stop function is not to be used as a replacement for safety equipment.

Notice

Several terminal boxes

Install only one type of terminal box (i.e., Terminal Box Plus or Terminal Box Basic) for

monitoring your system.

STOP button can trigger when falling down

If the Mobile Panel 177 is connected to the terminal box, the STOP button on the Mobile

Panel 177 can trip if it comes off, thus causing the system to come to a standstill.

6.2.20 Configuring network operation

6.2.20.1 Overview

Introduction

The HMI device with a PROFINET interface can be connected to a TCP/IP network.

Connection to a TCP/IP network can offer the following advantages:

• Printing via a network printer

• Saving recipe records to a server

• Exporting recipe records

• Importing recipe records

• Transferring a project

• Backing up data

These advantages are not available with a direct PC connection. However, peripherals

connected to the PC can be used. For example, you can use a local printer for printing.

Configuring the operating system

6.2 Control Panel

Mobile Panel 177 (WinCC flexible)

6-34 Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0

Notice

The HMI device can only be used in TCP/IP and PROFINET networks.

The HMI device only has client functionality in the PC network. This means that users can

access files of a subscriber with TCP/IP server functionality from the HMI device via the

network. However, it is not possible to access files on the HMI device via the network from a

PC.

Note

Information on communication using SIMATIC S7 via PROFINET is provided in the

"WinCC flexible Communication" user manual.

Requirements

Within a TCP/IP or PROFINET network, computers are addressed using network names.

These network names are translated from a DNS or WINS server to TCP/IP and PROFINET

addresses. Direct addressing via TCP/IP and PROFINET addresses is also supported by the

operating system. This is why a DNS or WINS server is needed for addressing via device

name names when the HMI device is in a TCP/IP or PROFINET network. Appropriate

servers are available in common TCP/IP and PROFINET networks. Consult your network

administrator if you have questions in this regard.

Printing via a Network Printer

The HMI device's operating system does not support the direct alarm logging via a network

printer. All other printer functions, such as printing hardcopies or logs, are possible via the

network without restriction.

General Procedure for Configuring the Network

The HMI device must be appropriately configured before setting into network operation. The

configuration is basically divided into the following steps:

• Set device name of the HMI device.

• Configure the network address.

• Set the logon information.

• Save the settings.

• Switch off the HMI device once the network is configured.

If your network address is assigned automatically:

Before switching the HMI device on, insert the network cable in the corresponding

interface so that a unique IP address for the HMI device can be assigned during startup.

• Switch on the HMI device.

Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0 6-35

Preparation

Before beginning the configuration, request the following network parameters from your

network administrator.

• Does the network use DHCP for dynamic assignment of network addresses?

If not, get a new TCP/IP network address for the HMI device.

• What is the TCP/IP address of the default gateway?

• If a DNS network is used, what is the address of the name server?

• If a WINS network is used, what is the address of the name server?

Configuration and Process Control Phases

HMI devices can be used to operate and monitor tasks in process and production

automation. The plant screens on the HMI devices are used to provide a clearer overview of

active processes. The HMI device project, which includes the plant screens, is created

during the configuration phase.

Once the project is transferred to the HMI device and the HMI device is connected to a PLC

in the automation system, processes can be operated and monitored in the process control

phase.

Transferring the Project to the HMI Device

The following can be performed to transfer a project to an HMI device:

• Transfer the project from the configuration computer

• Restore the project from a PC using ProSave

In this case, an archived project is transferred from a PC to the HMI device. The

configuration software need not be installed on this PC.

These procedures are available for commissioning and recommissioning a project.

Commissioning and Recommissioning

• When the HMI device is commissioned there is no project at first.

The HMI device is also in this state after the operating system has been updated.

• When recommissioning, any project on the HMI device is replaced.

7.1.1 Setting the operating mode

Operating Modes

Operating modes of the HMI device:

• Offline

• Online

• Transfer

"Offline mode" and "Online mode" can be set on the configuration computer and on the HMI

device. To set these modes on the HMI device, use a corresponding operator control object

of the project.

Switching the Operating Mode

The configuration engineer must have configured an appropriate operator control object to

allow a change of the operating mode on the HMI device during ongoing operation.

Further information on this may be available in your plant documentation.

"Offline" Operating Mode

In this mode, there is no communication between the HMI device and PLC. Although the

HMI device can be operated, it cannot exchange data with the PLC.

"Online" Operating Mode

In this mode, the HMI device and PLC communicate. You can operate the plant on the HMI

device according to your system configuration.

7.2 7.2 Transfer

7.2.1 Overview

Transfer

During transfer, the project is downloaded from the configuration computer to the HMI

device.

The "Transfer" mode can be started manually or automatically on the HMI device.

Transferred data is written directly to the flash memory on the HMI device. The transfer

function uses a data channel you need to configure before you initiate any transfers.

7.2.2 Starting the transfer manually

Introduction

You can set "Transfer" mode manually on the HMI device using a configured operator

control object and during ongoing operation.

Requirements

• The *.hmi project is opened in WinCC flexible.

• The HMI device is connected to a configuration computer.

• The data channel is configured on the HMI device.

• The HMI device Loader is opened.

Procedure

Proceed as follows to initiate the transfer:

1. Switch to "Transfer" mode on the HMI device.

2. Proceed as follows on the configuration computer:

– Select the "Project ▶Transfer ▶Transfer Settings" menu command in WinCC flexible.

– Select the HMI device and define the parameters for the connection.

– Start the download with "Transfer".

The configuration computer verifies its connection to the HMI device. If the connection is

not available or is faulty, the configuration computer outputs an alarm. If no

communication error is detected, the project is transferred to the HMI device.

7.2.3 Starting the transfer automatically

Introduction

The HMI device can be automatically switched to "Transfer" mode during runtime as soon as

transfer is started on the configuration computer connected.

Automatic startup is particularly suited for the test phase of a new project since transfer is

completed without interfering with the HMI device.

Automatic transfer is available for the following data channels:

• MPI/PROFIBUS DP

• PROFINET

• Serial

Notice

If the automatic transfer has been activated on the HMI device and a transfer is initiated

on the configuration computer, the project currently running is automatically stopped. The

HMI device then automatically switches to "Transfer" mode.

After the commissioning phase, deactivate the automatic transfer so that the HMI device

cannot be inadvertently switched to Transfer mode. The transfer mode can trigger

unintentional actions in the device.

You can set a password for the Loader of the HMI device to restrict access to the transfer

settings and thus avoid unauthorized modifications.

Requirements

• The *.hmi project is opened in WinCC flexible.

• The HMI device is connected to a configuration computer.

• The data channel is configured on the HMI device.

• The automatic transfer is activated in the data channel for the transfer.

• The project is started.

7.2.4 Testing a project

Introduction

There are two options on the HMI device testing a project:

• Offline testing of the project

Offline testing means that communication between the HMI device and PLC is down

while the test is being carried out.

• Online testing of the project

Online testing means that the HMI device and PLC communicate with each other during

testing.

Perform both tests, starting with the "Offline test", followed by the "Online test".

Note

You should always test the project on the HMI device on which the project will be used.

Check the following:

1. Check the correct layout of the screens.

2. Check the screen structure.

3. Check the input objects.

4. Enter the tag values.

The test increases the certainty that the project will run error-free on the HMI device.

7.4 7.4 Updating the operating system

7.4.1 Overview

Overview

A compatibility conflict may occur when transferring a project to the HMI device. This is

caused by difference between the versions of the configuration software used and the HMI

device image available on the HMI device. If there are different versions, the configuration

computer cancels the transfer of the project with a message indicating a compatibility

conflict.

There are several ways to match the versions:

• Update the HMI device image if the project was created with the most recent version of

the configuration software.

• Load a previous version of the HMI device image if you do not want to adapt the loaded

project to the most recent version of the configuration software.

Notice

Data loss

An operating system update deletes all data such as projects, passwords and license

from the HMI device.

Data channels

An operating system update resets all parameters for the data channels. You then have

to configure the data channels again before starting a transfer in the Loader.

Bootstrapping

In ProSave or WinCC flexible, you can update the operating system with or without

bootstrapping, depending on the HMI device used.

• Updating the operating system without bootstrapping

First, set "Transfer" mode on the HMI device or use the automatic transfer function if the

project is active. Then start the operating system update in ProSave or WinCC flexible.

• Updating the operating system with bootstrapping

First, start the operating system update in ProSave or WinCC flexible. Then switch the

power on the HMI device off and on again.

Note

You have to perform an operating system update with bootstrapping if the HMI device

does not yet have an operating system or if the operating system of the HMI device is

corrupt.

Point-to-point coupling with a PC-PPI cable is necessary in order to update the operating

system with bootstrapping.

In ProSave or WinCC flexible, set the "Bootstrap" check box status according to your

selected operating system update mode.

Operating a project 8

8.1 8.1 Overview

Using Operator Controls on the Touch Screen

Operator controls are touch-sensitive objects on the HMI screen such as buttons, I/O fields

and alarm windows. Touch objects are basically operated in the same way as mechanical

keys. You activate operator controls by touching them with your finger.

Some operations with the project may require in-depth knowledge about the specific plant on

the part of the operator. It is therefore important to take special care, for example, in

displaying typing. Further information on this may be available in your plant documentation.

Caution

Always touch only one operator control on the screen. Never touch more than one operator

control at a time, otherwise you may trigger unintentional actions.

Caution

Do not use any pointed or sharp objects when operating the touch screen as this may

damage the plastic membrane of the touch screen.

Locking operator controls

The HMI provides optical feedback when it detects that an operator control has been

touched. This feedback is independent of any communication with the PLC. Therefore, this

feedback does not indicate whether the relevant action is actually executed or not.

The configuration engineer may also have configured the feedback function in a different

manner. Further information on this may be available in your plant documentation.

Operating a project

8.1 Overview

Mobile Panel 177 (WinCC flexible)

8-2 Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0

Optical Feedback from Operator Controls

The type of optical feedback depends on the operator control object:

• Buttons

The HMI outputs different views of the "Touched" and "Untouched" states, provided the

configuration engineer has configured a 3D effect:

– "Touched" state:

– "Untouched" state:

The configuration engineer defines the appearance of a selected field, for example, its

line width and color for the focus.

• Invisible buttons

The focus for invisible buttons is not identified after selection by default. No optical

operation feedback is provided in this case.

The configuration engineer may, however, configure invisible buttons so that their outline

appears as lines when touched. This outline remains visible until the you select another

operator control object.

• I/O fields

After you touch an I/O field, a screen keyboard appears as optical operation feedback.

Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0 8-3

8.2 8.2 Key operation

Soft keys with global function assignment

A soft key with global function assignment always triggers the same action on the HMI

device or in the PLC, regardless of the current screen. An example of such an action is the

activation of a screen or the closing an alarm window.

Soft keys with local function assignment

A soft key with local function assignment is screen-specific and is therefore only effective

within the active screen.

The function assigned to a soft key can vary from screen to screen.

The soft key of a screen can be assigned one function only, either a global or local one. The

local assignment function takes priority over the global setting.

Soft Keys as System Keys for the OP 177B

Soft keys can also be configured as system keys. For example, they can function as the

numerical keypad, the cursor keypad or as a section of the alphanumerical keypad.

Multi-key operation

Unwanted actions may be triggered if the operator unintentionally actuates a key

combination.

Caution

Unintentional actions

In "Online" mode, simultaneous operation of more than two keys may cause unintentional

actions in the plant.

Never press more than two keys simultaneously.

Mobile Panel 177 (WinCC flexible)

8-4 Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0

8.3 8.3 Direct keys

Introduction

Direct keys on the HMI device are used to set bits in the I/O area of a SIMATIC S7.

This makes rapid key operations possible. For example, jog mode requires rapid operator

inputs using keys.

Notice

Direct keys are still active when the HMI device is in "offline" mode.

Notice

Removing the connecting cable

Take into account when removing the connecting cable that this corresponds to the failure of

a PROFIBUS DP slave or PROFINET slaves and therefore causes the controller to be

stopped.

Therefore, take appropriate programming measures in the PLC to prevent this from

occurring. For more detailed information, refer to the PLC manufacturer's documentation.

Note

Direct keys cause an additional base load of the HMI device.

Direct keys

The following objects can be configured as direct keys at a PROFIBUS DP coupling or

PROFINET coupling:

• Buttons

• Screens (building and removal)

• Softkeys

• Hand wheel

• Illuminated pushbutton

• Key-operated switch

Note

PROFINET direct keys are available as from WinCC flexible 2005 SP1.

Further information about direct keys is available in the system manual "WinCC flexible

communication".

8.4 8.4 Setting the project language

Introduction

The HMI device supports multilingual projects. You need to configure a corresponding

operator control object which lets you change the language setting on the HMI device during

runtime.

The project always starts with the language set in the previous session.

Requirements

• The relevant project language must be available on the HMI device.

• The language changeover function must be logically linked to a configured operator

control object such as a button.

Selecting a language

You can change project languages at any time. Language-specific objects are immediately

output to the screen in the relevant language when you switch languages.

The following options are available for switching the language:

1. A configured operator control object switches from one project language to the next in a

list.

2. A configured operator control directly sets the desired project language.

Further information on this may be available in your plant documentation.

8.10.1 Overview

Overview

The configuration engineer can protect the operation of a project by implementing a security

system.

The security system of the HMI device is based on permissions, user groups and users.

If operator control objects protected by a password are operated, the HMI device requests

the entry of a password. A logon screen is displayed in which you enter your user name and

password. After logging in, you can operate the operator control objects for which you have

the necessary permissions.

The logon dialog can be set up by the configuration engineer via an individual operator

control object.

In the same way, the configuration engineer can set up an operator control object to log off.

After logging off, objects assigned password protection can no longer be operated; to do so,

Further information on this may be available in your plant documentation.

User Groups and Permissions

Project-specific user groups are created by the configuration engineer. The "Administrators"

group is included in all projects by default. User groups are assigned permissions.

Permission required for an operation is specifically defined for each individual object and

function in the project.

Users

Each user is assigned to exactly one user group.

Users can be created as follows:

• By the configuration engineer during configuration

• By the administrator on the HMI device

• By a user with user management permission on the HMI device

Logoff Times

A logoff time is specified in the system for each user. If the time between any two user

actions, e.g, entering a value or changing screens, exceeds this logoff time, the user is

automatically logged off. The user must then log in again to continue to operate objects

assigned password protection.

Passwords

If an administrator or a user with administrator permission is logged on, all users on the HMI

device are displayed in the User view.

If no administrator or user with administrator permission is logged on, only the personal user

entry is displayed.

The permissions of a user after logging in depends on the user group to the user is

assigned. Further information on this may be available in your plant documentation.

The user data is encrypted and saved on the HMI device to protect it from loss due to power

failure.

Note

Depending on the transfer settings, changes to the user data are overwritten when the

project is transferred again.

User View

Use the User view to display the users on the HMI device.

All users on the HMI device system are displayed in the User view to the administrator or to

a user with administrator permissions. When user management permission is lacking, only

the personal user entry is displayed.

The configuration engineer can implement simple or advanced User view in the project. The

two user views offer the same functions and differ only in the display of information.

Simple User View

The simple user view only displays the user name and user group.

Advanced User View

The advanced user view displays more information about the users.

A recipe is a configurable object in WinCC flexible and consists of at least one recipe record.

It can be compared to a drawer in a file cabinet.

Example

① File cabinet Recipe collection Recipes for a fruit juice plant

② Drawer Recipe Beverage variants made of grapefruit juice

③ Drawer Recipe Beverage variants made of apple juice

④ Hanging folder Recipe record Juice made from apples

⑤ Drawer Recipe Beverage variants made of orange juice

The hanging folders in the drawers represent records required for manufacturing various

product variants, such as beverage variants. What is special about a recipe is that the

records can involve the same product components. The records of a recipe, therefore, only

differ in the quantities combining the same product components.

Product variants of a recipe for a fruit juice plant might be a soft drink, a juice and a nectar,

for example. The product components are the same but at least the proportion of fruit juice

differs.

By exchanging the fruit juice as the product component, additional recipes can be created for

similar products. For example, in a fruit juice plant this might involve:

• A soft drink, juice and nectar made of grapefruit juice

• A soft drink, juice and nectar made of apple juice

• A soft drink, juice and nectar made of orange juice

• A soft drink, juice and nectar made of pineapple juice

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

1. Touch the "Import data record" button.

The data record is imported from an external data medium as a CSV file and then

displayed in the Recipe view.

Result

The imported recipe record is saved on the HMI device.

If the structure of the CSV file differs from the structure of the recipe, deviations are handled

as follows:

• Any additional values in the CSV file will be rejected.

• The system applies the configured default value to the recipe record if the CSV file

contains an insufficient number of values.

• If the CSV file contains values of the wrong data type, the configured default value is set

in the recipe record.

Example:

The CSV file contains values that were entered as floating point numbers.

However, the corresponding tag expects an integer value. In this case, the system

discards the imported value and uses the configured default.

10.4.8 Synchronizing tags

Introduction

Differences may occur between the display values in the Recipe view and the actual values

of tags in an ongoing project when input is made in the Recipe view or when tags are

changed. To avoid such differences, the "Synchronize data record" function can be

configured.

Depending on the project, the values displayed in the Recipe view can be synchronized as

follows:

• With the values of the tags

• With the values of the controller

This synchronization is performed for each one of the tags contained in the recipe record.

Requirements

• The "Synchronize data record" function has been configured.

• A recipe containing the recipe record to be synchronized has been selected on the HMI

device.

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

1. Select the recipe record to be synchronized.

2. Touch .

The elements of the recipe record are synchronized with the values of the controller. It is

synchronized as follows:

– When the value of a tag has more recent value than the Recipe view, the most recent

value is applied to the Recipe view.

– When the displayed value in the recipe view is more recent than the tag value, the

most recent value is applied to the tag.

Notice

Changed Tag Names

Synchronization cannot be performed if the tag names in the data records to be

synchronized do not match. The tags in question are not synchronized.

Result

After synchronization, both the tags in the controller and the tags in the Recipe view contain

the most recently updated values. The values in the Recipe view and the values in the tags

are now identical.

The following three configurations can be made with the settings:

• Recipe without "Synchronize tags"

• Recipe with "Synchronize tags" and with "Tags offline"

• Recipe with "Synchronize tags" and with "Tags online"

Recipe without "Synchronize tags"

The data of a recipe record are only displayed in the Recipe view or Recipe screen and can

only be edited there. If you use the same tags outside the Recipe view or Recipe screen, this

has no effect on the values in the Recipe view or Recipe screen

Recipe with "Synchronize tags" and with "Tags offline"

The "Synchronize tags" setting specifies if the values in a recipe record that have been read

from the controller or a data store, is written to the tags in a recipe record on the HMI device.

The data transfer can also be performed in the opposite direction, from the HMI device to the

controller or to external data store.

The "offline" setting causes the entered values to be saved but not automatically transferred

to the controller or HMI device.

Recipe with "Synchronize tags" and with "Tags online"

The "Synchronize tags" setting specifies if the values in a recipe record that have been read

from the controller or memory, is written to the tags in a recipe record on the HMI device.

The data transfer can also be performed in the opposite direction, from the HMI device to the

controller or to external data store.

The input or read data are transferred immediately to the controller:

A.1 A. 1 Connection point recognition

A.1.1 Function method

Introduction

You can divide a system into several zones or functional areas by using several terminal

boxes. For this purpose it may be necessary for different system screens to be displayed,

depending on the terminal box used.

This is achieved by means of connection point recognition.

Note

The following sections are intended for the configuring engineer of the HMI device.

Note

If the same screens and functions are used predominantly for all PLCs and the PLCs are of

the same type, the configuration can be designed in such a way that only one PLC

connection is configured.

The configuring engineer can enable you to switch between the various PLCs usig a single

operating object.

Connection point recognition

You can implement the connection point recognition as follows:

• Reading out of the box ID set in the terminal box by the HMI device

• Wiring the terminal box to a digital input of the PLC.

Note

Connection point recognition via box ID

The solution with box ID functions for different system configurations.

Appendix

Mobile Panel 177 (WinCC flexible)

A-2 Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0

Note

The "Project ID" range pointer can be used to ensure that the HMI device is connected to

the PLC that forms the basis of the project.

The "Project ID" range pointer can be assigned to only one PLC for each project (see

"WinCC flexible Communication" user manual).

Note

A box ID cannot be set in a terminal box of the Mobile Panel 170. In this case connection

point recognition is only possible via the digital input of the controller.

A.1.2 Connection point recognition via box ID

Box ID

You can read out the box ID of the terminal box to which the Mobile Panel 177 is connected

in the project.

Note

If you connect the Mobile Panel 177 to a terminal box of the Mobile Panel 170, the value 255

is always supplied as the box ID.

Requirements

You have set the respective box ID in each of the terminal boxes. Each terminal box must

have a unique box ID assigned to it.

Example for the evaluation of the current box ID

In order to ensure that the box ID is transferred correctly to the controller when the HMI

device is plugged in, proceed as follows when carrying out configuration in WinCC flexible:

1. Specify the connection to the PLC in the "Connections" editor. Activate the "Coordination"

area pointer to ensure that the live bit is available on the PLC side.

2. Create three tags in the "Tag" editor.

– Internal tag: "Internal_Box-ID"

– External tag: "Auxiliary Tag"

– External tag: "External_Box-ID"

3. Open the "Device settings" editor.

4. Select the "Internal_Box-ID" tag in the "Settings for runtime" section at the "Access point".

When you connect the HMI device to the terminal box, the box ID is written automatically

into the "Internal_Box-ID" tag.

Appendix

Mobile Panel 177 (WinCC flexible)

Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0 A-3

5. When communication is established between the HMI device and controller, the old value

currently existing in the controller is then written automatically into the "External_Box-ID"

tag. The "Auxiliary Tag" is required so that the current value of the box ID can be

transferred to the PLC.

6. A program in the PLC evaluates the live bit. After the control program has determined

that communication has been established, the control program changes the current value

of the "Auxiliary_ Tag" tag once in order to induce a change in value.

7. The value change in the "Auxiliary_ Tag" executes the "SetValue" system function. The

system function now re-assigns the value of the "Internal_Box-ID" tags to the

"External_Box-ID" tags.

8. To configure this system function open the properties view of the "Auxiliary Tag". Click

"Change value" in the properties view of the "Auxiliary_Tag" tag in the "Events" group.

The "Function list" dialog box opens. Click the first line of the function list. The list opens,

showing the system functions available in the project.

9. Select the system function "SetValue" from the "Calculation" group. Select the

"External_Box-ID" tag at "Tag (output)". Select the "Internal_Box-ID" tag at "Value".

Result

The box ID of the terminal box to which the Mobile Panel 177 is connected is transferred to

the controller.

A.2 A. 2 Evaluation of the operator control elements

A.2.1 Overview

Operator control elements

The following information can be transferred between the HMI device and the controller:

• Direction pulses of the handwheel

• Status of the softkeys

• Status of the key-operated switch

• Status of the illuminated pushbutton

• Status of the LEDs of softkeys and illuminated pushbuttons

There are two alternatives:

• Direct keys

• System functions of WnCC flexible

Note

The following sections are intended for the configuring engineer of the HMI device.

A.2.2 Evaluating operator control elements as direct keys

Introduction

You can configure the operator control elements of the HMI device as direct keys.

Direction pulses of the handwheel and the switch state of the softkeys, key-operated switch,

or illuminated pushbutton are then directly available in the I/O area of the PLC.

Byte assignment

The following figure shows the byte assignment in the I/O area for the operator control

elements of the HMI device.

• Bit coding of handwheel

– A setpoint is not specified for the handwheel.

– After startup of the HMI device, bytes n+3 to n+4 (see figure) are set to zero.

Rotation of the handwheel produces positive or negative pulses depending on the

rotation direction. The number of positive pulses is stored in bits I0-I7, and the number

of negative pulses is stored in Bits D0-D7.

Values are entered in binary format, whereby Bit 0 is the least significant bit and Bit 7

is the most significant bit.

A complete handwheel revolution yields 50 pulses.

– Each pulse of the handwheel is added to the appropriate byte (n+3 or n+4),

depending on the direction or rotation. There are no negative values. If the possible

value range is exceeded, an overflow occurs.

If a value of 255 is increased by one pulse, a value of 0 results.

Appendix

Mobile Panel 177 (WinCC flexible)

Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0 A-7

Example of bit coding for handwheel

The following table contains an example showing how to determine the rotation direction

using pulses stored in Bytes n+3 and n+4 that were measured between time t1 and t4.

The numbers in the following table represent a byte in the PLC.

Handwheel Evaluation

time Pulses, forwards Pulses, backwards

Evaluation

t1 255 (≙ -1) 245 (≙= -11) --

t2 10 245 (≙ -11) Pulses, forwards: 11

Pulses, backwards: 0

Resulting value: +11

t3 10 4 Pulses, forwards: 0

Pulses, backwards: 15

Resulting value: -15

t4 15 5 Pulses, forwards: 5

Pulses, backwards: 1

Resulting value: +4

Based on the difference in pulses at times tn and tn+1, the resulting value and, thus, the

rotation direction can be determined. From the table, take the number of pulses forwards and

pulses backwards

• at the tim tn and

• at time tn+1.

From this, you determine the resulting value. This is calculated as:

Resulting value =

pulses, forwards, tn+1 - pulses, backwards, tn - (pulses, backwards, tn+1 - pulses, backwards,

tn)

Response time

Bytes n+3 and n+4 must be scanned on the PLC side within a second and cyclically. This

ensures that no more than 256 pulses can be added between two scans of the handwheel.

For 256 pulses, approximately 4.5 revolutions of the handwheel are required.

The rotary pulse encoder supplies a maximum of 200 pulses per second.

Notice

The input pulses should take effect immediately on the PLC and cause a response in the

system. Therefore, set up a scan cycle <= 100 ms in the PLC to achieve this.

A.2.3.2 Basic procedure

Introduction

You can use WinCC flexible system functions to evaluate the operator control elements of

the HMI device or to control the LEDs of the softkeys and of the illuminated pushbutton.

Direction pulses of the handwheel and the switch state of the softkeys, key-operated switch,

or illuminated pushbutton are then transferred via tags to the PLC.

Consistent data

If tags with process interface are assigned directly to the operator control elements, this may,

for example, result in inconsistent values of the operator control elements between operator

control element, HMI device and PLC.

1. The HMI device is connected directly to the terminal box.

2. The HMI device starts.

3. The values of the operator control elements are determined and entered in the tags in the

HMI device.

4. Communication between the HMI device and PLC is established.

5. After communication has been established, the old values of the tags are transferred from

the PLC into the tags of the HMI device.

6. Not until a change has been carried out to an operator control element, is the valid value

written into the tag of the HMI device and transferred to the PLC.

Procedure

In order to ensure consistent values for the operator control elements, proceed as follows

when configuring in WinCC flexible:

1. Specify the connection to the PLC in the "Connections" editor. Activate the "Coordination"

area pointer to ensure that the live bit is available to the PLC side.

2. Create three tags in the "Tag" editor.

– Internal tag: "Status_Control_Element"

– External tag: "Auxiliary_Tag"

– External tag: "Control_Element_PLC"

3. For illuminated pushbuttons, key-operated switches and handwheels (global assignment):

Open the template in the "Screens" editor. Select the operator control element in the

template. Click on the "General" group in the properties window. Select the

"Status_Control_Element" tag at "Tag" in the "Settings" section. When you operate the

operator control element, the value is written into the "Status_Control_Element" tag. For

illuminated pushbuttons you can additionally configure the "LED_Tag" tag in order to

control the integrated LED.

Figure A-2 Tag assignment using illuminated pushbuttons as an example

4. For a handwheel (local assignment):

Open the screen in which you want to assign the handwheel locally in the "Screens"

editor. Configure the function "ConnectTagWithHandwheel" on a command button or

directly into the screen structure. Select the "Status_Control_Element" tag at "Value".

When you operate the operator control element, the value is written into the

"Status_Control_Element" tag.

5. The "Control_Element_PLC" tag writes the value of the "Status_Control_Element" tags

into the PLC. The "SetValue" system function has to configured at the

"Status_Control_Element" tag in order for the value to be transferred.

6. Open the properties window of the "Status_Control_Element" tag. Click "Change value" in

the properties view of the "Status_Control_Element" tag in the "Events" group. The

"Function list" dialog box opens. Click the first line of the function list. The list appears,

showing the available project functions.

Appendix

Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0 A-11

7. Select the system function "SetValue" from the "Calculation" group. Select the

"Control_Element_PLC" tag at "Tag (output)". Select the "Status_Control_Element" tag at

"Value".

8. When communication is established, the possibly old value currently existing in the

controller is then written automatically into the "Control_Element_PLC" tag. The "Auxiliary

Tag" is required for transfer of the current status of the operator control element to the

PLC.

9. A program in the PLC evaluates the live bit. After the control program has determined

that communication has been established, the control program changes the current value

of the "Auxiliary_Tag" tag once in order to induce a change in value. The value change in

the "Auxiliary_Tag" triggers performance of the "SetValue" system function. The system

function assigns the value of the "Status_Control_Element" tag again to the

"Control_Element_PLC" tag. In order to configure the system function, open the

properties window of the "Auxiliary Tag".

10. Click "Change value" in the properties window of the "Auxiliary_Tag" tag in the "Events"

group. The "Function list" dialog box appears. Click the first line of the function list. The

list opens, showing the available project functions.

11. Select the system function "SetValue" from the "Calculation" group. Select the

"Control_Element_PLC" tag at "Tag (output)". Select the "Status_Control_Element" tag at

"Value".

Result

The values for the operator control elements are consistent between operator control

element, HMI device and PLC.

A.2.3.4 Key-operated switch

Application

The key-operated switch is an optional operator control element of the Mobile Panel 177. In

an active project the key-operated switch is used to lock functions that are triggered by the

Mobile Panel 177.

Bit assignment

The following table shows the bit assignment for the tag of the key-operated switch:

Bit 1 Bit 0 Key position

0 0 In central position

1 0 Turned clockwise to the end

stop

0 1 Turned counterclockwise to the

end stop

Note

If you use a tag of the "Boolean" type for the key-operated switch, the following assignment

applies:

• Status "0": Central position of the key-operated switch

• Status "1": Key-operated switch turned clockwise or counterclockwise to the end stop

A.2.3.5 Handwheel

Application

The handwheel is an optional operator control element of the Mobile Panel 177. In an active

project you can input incremental values with the handwheel.

Evaluation of the incremental values

If the signals of the handwheel are assigned to a WinCC flexible tag, the forwards and

backwards increments are offset against each other and the absolute value of the

increments is specified. The maximum or minimum value of the increments until an overflow

depends on the type of tags assigned.

A complete handwheel revolution yields 50 pulses. The rotary pulse encoder supplies a

maximum of 200 pulses per second.

Example

The handwheel has a starting value of 120 increments.

The wheel rotates 10 increments forwards and 3 increments backwards.

This results in a new value of 127 increments.

A.3 A. 3 ESD Guidelines

What does ESD mean?

All electronic modules are equipped with highly integrated modules or components. Based

on their design, these electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage and thus to

discharge of static electricity. These electronic components are therefore specially identified

as ESD.

Abbreviations

The following abbreviations are commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices:

• ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Devices

• ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device as common international designation

Labels

ESD modules are labeled with the following symbol:

Figure A-3 ESD label

Electrostatic Charge

Caution

Electrostatic Charge

ESDs may be destroyed by voltages well below the perception threshold of persons

Voltages of this kind develop when a component or an assembly is touched by a person who

is not grounded against static electricity. Usually, it is unlikely that damage to an ESD as a

result of overvoltage is detected immediately but may become apparent only after a longer

period of operation.

Prevent electrostatic charge of your body before you touch the ESD!

Anyone who is not connected to the electrical potential of their surroundings is subjected to

electrostatic charge.

Appendix

Mobile Panel 177 (WinCC flexible)

Operating Instructions, Edition 07/2005, 6AV6691-1DK01-0AB0 A-15

The figure indicates the maximum electrostatic charge anyone is subjected to when

contacting the materials shown. These values correspond with specifications to IEC 801-2.

Protective Measures against Discharge of Static Electricity

Caution

Grounding Measures

When working with electrostatic sensitive devices, make sure that the person, the workplace

and the packaging are properly grounded. This helps to avoid electrostatic charge.

As a rule, only touch the ESD if this is unavoidable. Example: for maintenance. When you

touch modules, make sure that you do not touch the pins on the modules or the PCB tracks.

This prevents any discharge of static electricity to sensitive component and thus avoids

damage.

Discharge electrostatic electricity from your body if you are performing measurements on an

ESD. To do so, touch a grounded metallic object.

Always use grounded measuring instruments.

A.4 A. 4 System alarms

Introduction

System alarms on the HMI device provide information about internal states of the HMI device

and PLC.

The overview below shows the causes of system alarms and how to eliminate the cause of

error.

Depending on scope of functions, only parts of the system alarms described in this section

apply to the various HMI devices.

Note

System alarms are only indicated if an alarm window was configured. System alarms are

output in the language currently set on your HMI device.

System Alarm Parameters

System alarms may contain encrypted parameters which are relevant to troubleshooting

because they provide a reference to the source code of the Runtime software. These

parameters are output after the text "Error code:"

10004 Overflow of the buffer for printing lines in text mode

(e.g.alarms). Up to 1000 lines are buffered.

Allow sufficient intervals between successive print jobs.

10005 Text lines can now be buffered again. —

10006 The Windows printing system reports an error.

Refer to the output text and the error ID to

determine the possible causes. Nothing is printed

or the print is faulty.

Repeat the action if necessary.

20010 An error has occurred in the specified script line.

Execution of the script was therefore aborted. Note

the system alarm that may have occurred prior to

this.

Select the specified script line in the configuration.

Ensure that the tags used are of the allowed types.

Check system functions for the correct number and types

of parameters.

20011 An error has occurred in a script that was called by

the specified script.

Execution of the script was therefore aborted in the

called script.

Take the system alarm that may have occurred

prior to this into account.

In the configuration, select the script that has been called

directly or indirectly by the specified script.

Ensure that the tags used are of the allowed types.

Check the system functions for the correct number and

type of parameters.

20012 The configuration data is inconsistent. The script

could therefore not be generated.

Recompile the configuration.

20013 The scripting component of WinCC flexible Runtime

is not correctly installed. Therefore, no scripts can

be executed.

Reinstall WinCC flexible Runtime.

20014 The system function returns a value that is not

written in any return tag.

Select the specified script in the configuration.

Check if the script name has been assigned a value.

20015 Too many successive scripts have been triggered

in short intervals. When more than 20 scripts are

queued for processing, any subsequent scripts are

rejected. In this case, the script indicated in the

alarm is not executed.

Find what is triggering the scripts. Extend the times, e.g.

the polling time of the tags which trigger the scripts.

30010 The tag could not accept the function result, e.g.

when it has exceeded the value range.

Check the tag type of the system function parameter.

30011 A system function could not be executed because

the function was assigned an invalid value or type

in the parameter.

Check the parameter value and tag type of the invalid

parameter. If a tag is used as a parameter, check its

Tab order

In the configuration, this sets the sequence in which objects are focused on pressing the

<TAB> key.

Tag

Defined memory location to which values can be written to and read from. This can be done

from the PLC or the HMI device. Based on whether the tag is interconnected with the PLC or

not, we distinguish between "external" tags (process tags) and "internal" tags.

Transfer

The transfer of an executable project to the HMI device.
