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 indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken. NOTICE indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken. 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.

Using SIMATIC PDM

2 2.1 Introduction SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) is a general-purpose, manufacturer-independent tool for configuration, parameter assignment, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance of intelligent field devices (sensors and actuators) and field components (remote I/Os, multiplexers, control room units, compact controllers). These are simply referred to as devices in the rest of this documentation. With one software package, SIMATIC PDM enables processing of more than 2500 devices from Siemens and 200 other manufacturers from around the world with an homogeneous user interface. 2.2 Using the documentation Scope SIMATIC PDM operates within a SIMATIC STEP 7 / PCS 7 environment or in combination with suitable function modules. Conventions The names of the user interfaces in this software are listed in accordance with the regional language of this documentation. If you have installed an MUI operating system, certain designations are still displayed in the base language of the operating system after a language change and will, therefore, differ from those used in the documentation. 2.3 Contact partner Your contact partner (not for demo version) Questions on SIMATIC STEP 7 / SIMATIC PCS 7 / hardware / SIMATIC PDM / problems with S7 communication Mailing address: SIEMENS AG Customer Support D-90475 Nuremberg, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Internet: http://www.siemens.com/automation/service&support (http:// www.siemens.com/automation/service&support) Help for SIMATIC PDM (V8.2) Operating Manual, 02/2014, A5E33203676-AA 11

Questions on devices and GSD files

Please get in touch with your contact partner at the device manufacturer. For more information, refer to the "List of integrated devices". You will find this on the "SIMATIC PDM Device Library 1#2014" DVD in the "\_manuals" directory. Follow-up installations and additional information on SIMATIC PDM are available on the Internet at "Auto-Hotspot". See also www.siemens.com/simatic-pdm (www.siemens.de/simatic-pdm) 2.4 Basis for using intelligent field devices Integration of field devices from different manufacturers into control systems Device descriptions had to be standardized In order to enable intelligent field devices from different manufacturers to be integrated into different control systems. This standard (IEC 61804-2) was developed in collaboration with the following organizations: ● PROFIBUS User Organization (PNO) ● Hart Communication Foundation (HCF) ● Fieldbus FOUNDATION (FF) ● OPC Foundation Device descriptions are based on EDDL (Electronic Device Description Language - standard IEC 61804-3). Finding the device description You can obtain device descriptions in the following ways: ● From the device manufacturer together with the device ● On the Internet ● In the device catalogs of applications that can evaluate data contained in device descriptions Note Device descriptions and EDD Below, only the term "device description" will be used to refer to "EDD" (Electronic Device Description) and "DD" (Device Description).

Plant-wide communication by means of routing

Overview In most automation systems, the programming device can only be operated via the bus cable (subnet) connected directly to the automation system. On larger networked plants you must connect the programming device to different bus cables (subnets) before you can go online to a remote automation system. Routing function The routing function allows you to reach automation systems online across subnet boundaries from a central point (Engineering Station) with the programming device or PC, in order, for example, to download user programs or a hardware configuration or to perform test functions. Requirements The following conditions must be met for S7 routing: ● STEP 7 as of version 5.5 and SIMATIC PDM, i.e., SIMATIC PDM, are integrated. ● The communication-capable modules (CPUs or CPs) which establish gateways between subnets must support "S7 routing". ● All the automation devices or communications partners that can be reached in a plant network are configured and downloaded within an S7 project. ● The SIMATIC S7 station required is networked and can be reached via the network nodes. ● The last communication interface (CPU, CP) supports the "Dataset gateway" function. ● The modules are downloaded together with the configuration information, which contains the current "knowledge" on the complete network configuration of the project. Reason: All the modules involved in the gateway must receive information on which subnets can be reached over which routes (routing tables). ● The programming device or PC to which you want to establish an online connection via a gateway is configured in the network configuration and assigned to your programming device.

Integrating a HART server network

You can use SIMATIC PDM to configure HART devices for the following networks: ● Multiplexer networks – Multiplexer network with panel (for example, MTL multiplexer) – Multiplexer network without panel (for example, P+F multiplexer) ● Wireless Hart gateway You configure a wireless HART gateway as a HART multiplexer. You need a HART server application in the project to integrate and manage these networks. You can find detailed information on the HART server in the description or the online help for this product. ● You can address multiplexers using the HART server. You can obtain more information from the device manufacturers. ● The HART server of SIMATIC PDM does not support multimaster operation. Jobs have to be coordinated to avoid conflicts. This coordination has to take place on the multiplexer network level. Requirement ● A HART server is installed on the computer. ● A multiplexer network has been integrated in the HART server. ● A project has been created in the SIMATIC Manager. ● The HART network is physically connected to the PC station. Note Integrating a HART multiplexer network In the HART server, a project has to be created for the multiplexer in order for the configuration data of the multiplex to be available in the process device network view. Starting the HART server application Note HART server The HART server application should always be open before you configure or integrate HART devices. You have the following options for starting the HART server application: Functions 7.3 Device management Help for SIMATIC PDM (V8.2) 88 Operating Manual, 02/2014, A5E33203676-AA

In SIMATIC Manager, select the menu command Options > SIMATIC PDM > HART server.

● In the Windows taskbar, select the menu command Start > Programs > HART server > HART server (path of the HART server created by SIMATIC PDM setup). Note Network address of the HART multiplexer Enter the network address of the HART multiplexer in the HART server application when you create an I/O system in the HART network. Starting the HART server application for the first time To configure communication between SIMATIC PDM and the HART server, proceed as follows: 1. Select the HART server project. Select the menu command File > Preferences. The "HART Server Preferences" dialog box opens. 2. In the "New Configuration Will Use" section, select the check box according to your settings in SIMATIC PDM. 3. Apply this setting also to the existing project, if required. After it has been applied to an existing project, the devices must be read in again with "Learn". Note SIMATIC PDM default settings The default settings for HART communication in SIMATIC PDM correspond to the "8 char (HART 5), 32 char (HART 6 +)" check box.

Configuring the HART server

1. Select the HART server project. Right-click and select the shortcut menu command Add Network. In the dialog box that opens, select the type of network through which the objects are connected: – Single Port RS485 – Single Serial Port – TCP/UDP 2. Enter a name in the "Network Properties" field. SIMATIC Manager later identifies the network based on this name. Set the properties of the interface under "Properties" and confirm your entries with "OK". The network is inserted in the project. Note TAG names Ensure that the TAG names of the components do not contain a "." (dot) character. 3. You can read in the multiplexer data automatically or configure them manually. – Automatic reading: Select the higher-level object. Right-click and select the shortcut menu command Learn. All data (multiplexers and devices) of the selected object are read out. A dialog box indicates the progress. While the addresses (multiplexer, etc.) are being checked, the status of all assigned addresses changes from "not responding" to "responding". If this does not happen, there is a connection error, such as incorrect polarity. Note Learning process in a HART server project You can start the learning process on any level. ● When you select a network, you start the learning process for the entire configuration tree. ● If you select a panel, you start the learning process for the selected partial configuration, meaning for the instruments below the panel level.

In the process device network view of SIMATIC Manager, insert the HART server in the HART multiplexer network and edit the individual devices. Configuring the devices Note the following: ● You can start a learning process for identification of the devices on the multiplexer and assign the device description files (EDD) automatically. ● You can manually configure the multiplexer and the devices. For this purpose, the devices and the computer must be connected and the device names and addresses must be known. Changing the configuration If, for example, you change an existing multiplexer network by inserting a new device or replacing a device (must be followed by reconfiguration in the HART server), you can compare the changes in the HART server with the menu command Edit > SIMATIC PDM > Synchronize. The comparative function takes the following into consideration: ● New hierarchy and devices are inserted. ● Hierarchies and devices that no longer exist are removed. ● Renamed devices are also renamed in PDM.
