PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB 33 Notes on installation 3.4 Installation of the software, software requirements 3.4.17 Remote service and remote operation Use of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is permitted only for remote maintenance of PCS 7 OS clients. The RealVNC software should be used for remote access to other computers in a distributed PCS 7 plant (for example, OS servers, engineering stations). Only one remote session is allowed per PCS 7 station at any given time. RDP Note the following constraints when using RDP: No server services (for example, WebNavigator server, DataMonitor server, OPC server) are permitted to be active on the PCS 7 OS clients. The reason for this lies in the handling of remote desktop sessions by the Microsoft operating system. The existing Windows session must be accepted using the account of the Windows user logged on locally. The remote station cannot be in the Windows logon screen. VNC The "RealVNC" Enterprise Edition software is approved for use for remote service access as of PCS 7 V8.0. You can find the RealVNC edition suitable for your PCS 7 version in the regularly updated entry ID 64847781 in the Industry Online Support: Internet link (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/64847781) CAUTION Access to the operating system level of the local PCS 7 Operator Station (OS) with remote access During remote access to an OS via RealVNC, the remote operator has the possibility of accessing the operating system level of the local OS. The local operator of the OS thus also has the opportunity - for example via Windows Explorer opened by the remote operator - to access the operating system level of the local OS at the same time as the remote operator. You can find more information about the use of "RealVNC" in PCS 7 plants in the Industry Online Support under entry ID 55422236: Internet link (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/55422236) SIMATIC Management Console Remote access to the SIMATIC Management Console is generally not approved. 34 PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB Notes on installation 3.4 Installation of the software, software requirements 3.4.18 Remote access to OS projects All users must have been assigned to the "SIMATIC HMI" user group. This also applies to users who want to open the OS projects remotely. Check in particular the following users: Users who want to connect a Connectivity Pack Client to a Connectivity Pack Server: These users must be registered members of the "SIMATIC HMI" group on the Connectivity Pack Server. Users accessing the Web center of DataMonitor: 1) If you set up a connection to the OS database, you require an additional Windows user and password. Assign this user the necessary authorizations for access to the OS database. For this purpose, set up a separate Windows user on the server and assign this user to the "SIMATIC HMI Viewer" Windows group. 2) To enable access to a remote computer from the DataMonitor server, the Windows user and the same password must have been set up on the DataMonitor server and relevant remote servers. Register this user and the password in the connection administration of the Web center. For this purpose, proceed as specified under point 1. Users who want to connect an OPC client with an OpenPCS 7 server: These users must be registered members of the "SIMATIC HMI" group on the OpenPCS 7 server. 3.4.19 Installation of WinAC software You can find the software for WinAC controllers on the "PCS 7 Software Support & Tools DVD 2014.02 in the separately available "PCS 7 V8.x Software Support Package" (article number: 6ES7 650-4XX08-0YT8) under "03_WINAC_RTX\V4.6+SP2".

Notes on the high limit of this changeover time can be found in the manual "S7 F-FH Systems - Configuring and Programming," in Section "A.7". Run, F-monitoring, and response times: A table with formulas for calculating the high limit is available under Entry ID 22557362 in the Industry Online Support: Internet link (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/22557362) If you do not follow this instruction, F modules may malfunction when the active channel is switched. You can find additional information in the Safety Engineering in SIMATIC S7 system manual under Entry ID 12490443: Internet link (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/12490443) 4.1.2 ET 200S 4.1.2.1 ET 200S diagnostics of load voltage failure The digital input/output modules of the ET 200S have no diagnostics in the event of load voltage failure. This means that when the load voltage supply fails on the channel blocks, no "Bad" is reported. When there is no voltage supply, outputs can no longer be switched via the application program and the last available value is indicated on inputs. You can get around this with the following configuration: Use DI, DO modules with 24 V DC with power module PM-E DC 24 V: 6ES7 138-4CA00-0AA0 Because the entire station (IM151 and power modules) is supplied from a common 24 V DC source, a failure in the voltage supply causes a station failure. This is reported in PCS 7 and causes passivation of all the modules involved, i.e. all channel blocks are set to "Bad". Use of DI, DO modules with 120/230 VAC with power module PM-E AC 120/230 V: 6ES7 138-4CB10-0AB0: Applicative monitoring of load voltage in an application program.

SP1. However, the data from the process image must be manually interconnected and evaluated. Observe the information about reading out measured values under entry ID 81714201 in Industry Online Support: Internet link (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/81714201) Value status The functionality "Value status" for ET 200SP modules is not supported. 4.1.4 ET 200pro The use of ET 200pro with CP 443-5 Extended is only approved with the 6GK7 443-5DX04-0XE0 module, firmware version V6.4 or later. The modules from the ET 200pro series must be configured in DPV1 mode in HW Config. In DPV0 mode, no interrupts are sent to the PCS 7 diagnostic blocks. 4.1.5 Using S7 PLCSIM Simple application tests can be carried out with PLCSIM without the availability of AS hardware. The project should be adapted as follows: 1. If the AS-OS connection is "NamedConnection" (PCS 7 Standard): compile OS "Change" and change connection to network type "Industrial Ethernet." 2. Start PLCSim from the SIMATIC Manager. 3. Load HW Config. 4. Set the PG/PC interface in PLCSIM to PLCSIM(ISO) (if this has not already been done automatically) 5. Load charts / programs. 6. Set PLCSIM to operating mode "RUN". 7. SIMATIC Manager: in the Project -> OS -> "Start OS Simulation" or "Open Object" and then "activate". 38 PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB Notes on usage 4.1 Automation system (AS) Note After using PLCSIM, it may be necessary to re-establish the real connection and recompile the changes made to relevant AS including the real connection to the OS. OS connections with a simulated WinAC Controller (WinLC RTX or WinAC Slot) are not possible. See the notes on simulation of a WinAC Controller in the PLCSIM Readme. 4.1.6 Changing the address range of HART modules in ET 200iSP/ET 200M/ET 200SP leads to address displacements If HART auxiliary variables are configured retrospectively for HART modules, this leads to an enlargement of the address field required for these modules. The I/O field may therefore be redefined. In doing this, the ability to make configuration changes in RUN is lost. Note that your project may need to be adapted (symbol tables, CFC charts). We recommend configuring the modules with a "CiR" address placeholder in the address range of the HART auxiliary variables during configuration. This ensures that the max. address range is used and avoids address displacement. 4.1.7 Fast Mode functionality for HART devices The HART Fast Mode functionality is supported as of configured module version 6ES7 33?-? TF01-0AB0 V3.x. Update 6ES7 33?-?TF01-0AB0 firmware to V3.x Download firmware: 331-7TF01-0AB0: Entry ID 33273268 (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/33273268) 332-8TF01-0AB0: Entry ID 32011516 (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/32011516) Replace modules 6ES7 33?-?TF00-0AB0 with 6ES7 33?-?TF01-0AB0 V3.x To activate HART-Fast-Mode, you will have to replace the HART module in HW Config (6ES7 33?-?TF00-0AB0 with 6ES7 33?-?TF01-0AB0 V3.x). Then delete the HART field devices and renew the configuration. Then activate "HART-Fast-Mode" in the module configuration and "HART RIO SHC Mode" in the PDM settings. Replace modules 6ES7 33?-?TF01-0AB0 with 6ES7 33?-?TF01-0AB0 V3.x To activate HART-Fast-Mode, you will have to replace the HART module in HW Config (6ES7 33?-?TF01-0AB0 with 6ES7 33?-?TF01-0AB0 V3.x). Then activate "HART-Fast-Mode" in the module configuration and "HART RIO SHC Mode" in the PDM settings. Redundant modules PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB 39 Notes on usage 4.1 Automation system (AS) HART-Fast-Mode is not possible for redundantly configured modules. 4.1.8 Configuration in RUN (CiR) with FM 350-1, FM 350-2, FM 355, FM 355-2, CP 341 The modules FM 350-1, FM 350-2, FM355, FM 355-2 and CP 341 are CiR-compatible, which means that a configuration in RUN can be used so that they can be plugged or pulled via (hotswapped) when the AS is in RUN. Note the following about these modules when configuring in operating mode RUN: FM 350-1 and FM 350-2, CP 341: Changing the module parameters when the CPU is in operating mode RUN resets the module and is equivalent to restarting the module. FM 355 and FM 355-2: Bumpless channel-specific changes to module parameters when the CPU is in operating mode RUN are possible to a limited extent; refer to the documentation of the FM modules. 4.1.9 Isochronous mode in PCS 7 PCS 7 does not support isochronous mode. 4.1.10 Fault-tolerant connections via internal ETHERNET/PROFINET interface The S7-400 H as of firmware V6.0 supports fault-tolerant connections via your internal ETHERNET/PROFINET interface. If you would like to use fault-tolerant AS-AS connections via the internal interface of the V6.0 H-CPU, you need to be aware that the connections to the communication partner can only be configured via the internal interface of the V6.0 H-CPU or CP 443-1 EX30. 4.1.11 Using PROFINET Shared Device The use of PROFINET shared devices with PCS 7 V8.1 incl. SP1 is not supported. Assigning device numbers Only device numbers up to 255 are supported by the driver generator in the PROFINET IO system. 40 PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB Notes on usage 4.1 Automation system (AS) CiR functionality If you would like to use the CiR functionality on the PROFIBUS master system for S7-400 PN/ DP CPU with firmware <= V6.0.2 (article number 6ES7 414-3EM06-0AB0 and article number 6ES7 416-3ES06-0AB0), you cannot configure PROFIBUS and PROFINET I/O simultaneously for the internal interfaces. Reporting module errors With PROFINET IO, modules errors (e.g. no external auxiliary voltage) are reported by OB82 with a general error message.

For this extension to be available, the block @SFC_BZL (FB 245) must be copied from the SFC Library to the block folder of all programs and a complete compilation and a download of changes must then be carried out. In addition to updating the FB 245, the procedure described in the SIMATIC BATCH readme file as of version V7.1 SP1 Hotfix 8 must be followed in order to use the extended functionality. 4.2.14 Note on upgrading process objects of a CPU 410-5H system expansion card During the upgrade of the process objects of a CPU 410-5H system expansion card (SEC), only one instance of the Automation License Manager (ALM) may be active. 4.2.15 Using the D7 SYS add-on package If you use components of the D7 SYS add-on package in your PCS 7 project, you currently cannot use the Step 7 function "Save As with Reorganization". 4.3 PCS 7 libraries 4.3.1 Diagnostic alarms for digital input modules SM 321-7BH00 and SM 321-7BH01 Diagnostic evaluation for channel-based diagnostic interrupts of the module When using digital input modules SM 321-7BH00 and SM 321-7BH01, the diagnostic evaluation for a channel-based diagnostic interrupt is performed in channel groups. When using digital input module SM 321-7BH01 HF, the channel-related diagnostic interrupt takes place for each individual channel. Diagnostic option: Missing encoder supply SM 321-7BH00 and SM 321-7BH01 Digital input channels 0 to 7 are combined into channel group 0. Digital input channels 8 to 15 are combined into channel group 1. Eight alarms are output for each channel group if the encoder supply is missing. "Error channel 00" .... "Error channel 07" or "Error channel 08" .... "Error channel 15" 46 PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB Notes on usage 4.4 Operator station (OS) Diagnostic option: Wire break For SM 321-7BH01 only Digital input channels 0 and 1 are combined into channel group 0. Digital input channels 2 and 3 are combined into channel group 1. . . Digital input channels 12 and 13 are combined into channel group 6. Digital input channels 14 and 15 are combined into channel group 7. The channel involved can therefore not be clearly identified in the text of the diagnostic interrupt/ diagnostic message. 4.3.2 Software update to PCS 7 V8.1 incl. SP1 Software update with utilization of new functions A software update of the Advanced Process Library (APL) from a version older than V8.1 to V8.1.x with utilization of new functions can only be performed in the STOP operating mode of the AS and complete compilation of the OS. You can find detailed update information in the APL Readme (V8.1.x). Type update in RUN (TCiR) for blocks in a PCS 7 library The type update in RUN for blocks of a PCS 7 library (APL and Basis Library) is only released when the blocks of a library version >= V8.1 are loaded in the AS. 4.4 Operator station (OS) 4.4.1 OS-specific information and notes on installation and use You will find PCS 7 OS-specific information and notes on installation and use of this component in the readme file of the product. 4.4.2 Customized user programs If you create your own applications, system tests in the relevant environment are necessary to ensure the stability of the entire system. PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB 47 Notes on usage 4.4 Operator station (OS) 4.4.3 Starting process mode on the OS server Process mode will not be started on an OS server if this server is not connected to the network. When you start process mode on a redundant server, make sure that the first server takes over process mode completely before the redundant partner is started. No client should be active before process mode is started on a server for the first time. The OS clients can then be activated. 4.4.4 Deactivating a redundant OS server Before deactivating a redundant server, ensure that the partner server is in an state that is fault-free and operational (for example, there are no process coupling faults). Archive synchronization must be competed before deactivation, which can be recognized with the corresponding process control message. 4.4.5 OS change download Procedure for extensive changes If an AS has been added, a redundancy switchover and entries in the message system may occur when changes are download. The following procedure is recommended when extensive changes are involved: Configure the changes in single steps ("packet-by-packet") on the ES and then transfer them to the OS in individual "packets". Changes to tags with access to an OPC-DA-Client application It may happen in the course of configuration that tags are deleted from a project that are requested at this time by an OPC-DA-Client application using a Subscription . Restoration of these tags in the project will not automatically initiate an update of the tags by means of OPC. Provided the tags in question are available in an OS server project and the OPC DA server is running on an OS client or OpenPCS 7 station, it is sufficient to initiate a redundancy switchover of the corresponding OS server project to trigger an update of the tags. Otherwise, the OPCDA-Client application needs to re-register the tags in question. 4.4.6 Setting access permissions in the operating system A PCS 7 OS automatically sets the "SIMATIC HMI" local user group following installation under Windows. The currently logged on user and local administrator are registered in this user group. Enter the users who should have access to PCS 7 OS in the "SIMATIC HMI" group with their logon information. You can find additional information in the WinCC Information System under "Installation Notes > Installation Requirements > Access Permissions in the Operating System" and in the document "PCS 7 - PC Configuration.pdf" located in the _Manuals\English folder on the SIMATIC PCS 7 DVD 1/2 . 48 PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB Notes on usage 4.4 Operator station (OS) All Window users who work with PCS 7-, PCS 7 OS or Route Control projects must also be members of the "SIMATIC NET" group. 4.4.7 Controls Using controls from third-party suppliers may lead to errors such as performance problems or system blockage. The user of the software must assume responsibility if problems are caused by third-party controls. We highly recommend that you run a system test to ensure safe operation before putting them into use. 4.4.8 User interface and design In PCS 7, make the following setting for the appearance of the user interface in process mode: Design "WinCC 3D" The WinCC designs "Classic", "Glass" and "Simple" are not supported by PCS 7. Note the following: Make sure that the design is set in a uniform manner for all the projects of a plant. If you change the setting of the design, check the visualization of self-generated objects and adapt these if necessary. Retain the setting if you update the software. During a software update, changing the setting for the appearance of the user interface in process mode could cause considerable changes. 4.4.9 Delaying the transfer of archives If a redundant partner is not available or is deactivated, the transfer of the archives of the redundant partner will be delayed. The transfer of archives is started or continued only when the partner becomes available again and synchronization of the archives is completed. You should therefore check the memory capacity of the circular buffer of archives in the Tag Logging editor or in the Alarm Logging editor to avoid the risk of data loss if the redundant partner fails for a long period of time. 4.4.10 Disabling / enabling messages using the WinCC Alarmcontrol The disabling / enabling messages functionality using WinCC Alarmcontrol has not been approved for PCS 7. PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB 49 Notes on usage 4.5 SIMATIC BATCH 4.4.11 Language setting for C scripts Note that WinCC now supports Unicode. To ensure your C scripts run without problems, you need to make sure that the language set in the Global Script C editor is correct. If you select "Dynamic: Project setting", scripts run in the language that was set globally for the project. You can make this global project setting under "C scripts with language setting "Dynamic" in Runtime" in the "Options" tab, which is located in the "Project properties" dialog of the WinCC Explorer. The "Operating system language for non-Unicode programs" option is preset and recommended as the global project setting for PCS 7. You can find additional information in the WinCC documentation (WinCC Information System) and the WinCC readme. 4.4.12 Consistency between the plant hierarchy and the Picture Tree Manager for SFC visualization To prevent delays during the start of OS Runtime and during SFC operation on the OS client, you need to ensure the following: all areas of the plant hierarchy (PH) that contain SFC charts must also be created by name in the WinCC Picture Tree Manager. OS areas which should not be available for selection in WinCC Runtime can be configured as invisible via the OS project editor. 4.4.13 Prevent operating system access through key combinations With the option "Disable shortcut keys for operating system access" in the properties of the PCS 7 OS computer, the key combinations for ease of access are also disabled. To prevent access to the operating system via key combinations for activating high contrast when using Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, you need to install the Microsoft patch KB2516889: Internet link (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2516889) 4.4.14 Activating OS Runtime on the engineering station (ES) An OS project can be unlocked in the OS project settings for local activation on the ES. Once an unlocked project is activated on the ES, this setting cannot be undone. 4.5 SIMATIC BATCH 4.5.1 Compiling and loading BATCH with the "Compile and Download Objects" function Note that when you modifying projects, compiling and loading should always be performed in the following sequence: AS, OS, BATCH. 50 PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB Notes on usage 4.6 SIMATIC PDM 4.5.2 Access permissions The following sharing is set for SIMATIC BATCH during the installation: BATCH The PCS 7 software manages the share permissions automatically. 4.5.3 Common server for PCS 7 OS and SIMATIC BATCH A redundant server can be used at same time as a common server for PCS 7 OS and SIMATIC BATCH. 4.6 SIMATIC PDM 4.6.1 Using the Device Integration Manager Once you have installed SIMATIC PDM, you are prompted to import the devices you are using onto the computer. Run the "Device Integration Manager" program for this. After an update installation to PCS 7 V8.1 incl. SP1, you will need to re-import the "Device Library" device catalog. The devices supported by PDM are included on the supplied "Device Library". You can download the latest version from the Support area of the SIMATIC PDM website. Internet link (https://www.siemens.com/simatic-pdm) 4.6.2 Canceling the module redundancy for HART modules of ET 200M remote IOs In order to cancel the module redundancy set in the hardware configuration (HWC), you need to adhere to the following procedure: 1. Delete the module in question and then compile the hardware project 2. Remove the deleted module from the process device plant view or network view 3. Configure the module again in HWC This ensures that the redundancy is removed correctly. 4.6.3 Note on project migration When migrating a PDM project from a previous version, it is absolutely necessary to do the following: Install all add-on packages used in the project before you open the project for the first time. Projects are migrated automatically when you first open them. PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB 51 Notes on usage 4.8 Information Server (IS) You can find additional important information in the SIMATIC PDM readme in the section "Migrating Projects". 4.7 Process Historian (PH) Commissioning the Process Historian (PH) If you want to integrate the Process Historian (PH) or a redundant PH partner into your system for the first time or perform a software update, you need to consider the following: The PH only starts to reference data from the OS servers and batch servers if it is activated before they are. You therefore may need to restart the OS server or batch server to create this sequence of events. 4.8 Information Server (IS) Displaying messages You can display reports on messages using the Information Server. If there are formatting instructions for components of the comment dialog in the message texts (for example, computer name, logged-on user, comments), they are currently not filled out. Installing the Information Server 2014 SP1 During the installation of Information Server 2014 SP1, observe the instructions in "InstallNotesINFSVenUS.pdf". You will find the file on the SIMATIC PCS 7 DVD 1/2 in the folder "27b_PH+IS_Install_and_Release-Notes". 52 PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB Notes on usage 4.9 PCS 7 Web server Updating from Information Server 2013 to Information Server 2014 SP1 When upgrading from IS 2013 to IS 2014 SP1, note that some settings and templates must be recreated under certain circumstances. 1.

Changes to tags with access to an OPC-DA-Client application Observe the section OS change download (Page 48). Downloading the OpenPCS 7 station Following installation or update of OpenPCS 7, you need to perform a "Download" of the OpenPCS 7 station on the engineering station. 4.12 Redundant systems PCS 7 as of V7.1 SP2 contains advanced self-diagnostics for redundant software systems (servers). If this diagnostics routine detects an internal fault, if the redundant partner server is fully functioning, all communication connections on the server affected by the fault are disconnected (terminal and system bus). 54 PCS 7 Readme V8.1 including SP1 (Online) Readme, 10/2015, A5E35748131-AB Notes on usage 4.13 SIMATIC NET Example: WinCC und BATCH Server are running on server (A) . The full function of the redundant partner server (B) is achieved when WinCC and BATCH Server are running on server (B) and the runtime data of WinCC and BATCH are synchronized. Automatic restart of the affected server is only performed when this full functionality is achieved. Requirements Use of a PCS 7 OS (multi-station) redundant system, SIMATIC BATCH and SIMATIC Route Control. You must make the following configuration settings on the server systems: - Automatic Windows logon (not relevant for servers in WinCC service mode) - Automatic start of the PCS 7 server applications Deactivate the "Display Shutdown Event Tracker". Proceed as follows: Call via Start > Run...: Enter "gpedit.msc" In the "Group Policy" dialog: Select Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System and open the properties of the "Display Shutdown Event Tracker". Select "Disabled". Before a PCS 7 server application is exited, an availability check is carried out on the relevant redundant partner server. The aspect of the data synchronization is not taken into account in the availability check. If the partner server is not fully functional, the user is informed of this status and can proceed accordingly. The availability check is only carried out in service mode if a user is logged on.
