Introduction In the past, the SIMATIC® product name was frequently used as a synonym for
programmable logic controllers.
Today SIMATIC® has come to mean much more: SIMATIC® is the basic
automation system for solving automation tasks in all industries. It consists of
standard components in hardware and software, that offer a multitude of
possibilities for customer-specific expansions.
Two factors have lead to this solution:
• the new, comprehensive SIMATIC® software, that has the optimal tool for
every phase of an automation project and
• the members of the SIMATIC® automation family, that are more than just
programmable logic controllers.
TIA Totally Integrated Automation is the new way of uniting production and process
control technology.
All hardware and software components are thus united in a single system with
the name SIMATIC®. This total integration is made possible by a threefold
integraton:
• common data management (data are only entered once),
• common configuring and programming (modular software),
• common communication (simple and uniform configuration).
In the slide you can see the individual components of TIA.
STEP 7 Basic package for project planning and programming S7-300/400 logic
controllers, with interfaces to the option packages.

and commissioning:
• S7-SCL = PASCAL-similar high level language.
• S7-GRAPH = Graphic programming of sequence control systems.
• S7-HiGraph = Graphic programming of machining sequences.
• CFC = Graphic configuring and interconnection of blocks.
• S7-PLCSIM = Testing the program logic offline on the PG/PC.
• S7-Pdiag = Process diagnostics for logic controllers and sequence
control systems.
• TeleService = Extension of the MPI interface via the telephone network.
• HARDPRO = Configuration software for hardware.
• DOCPRO = Documentation software.
Closed-loop Control Runtime Software (standard function blocks and parameter assigning tools) for
(Engineering) solving closed-loop control engineering tasks:
Function Units The function units are the smallest mechanical units of a machine or system.
As a rule, a function unit is made up of mechanical and electrical basic
elements. In programming, a state diagram is assigned to every function unit.
In it, the functional, that is, the mechanical and electrical properties of the
function unit are mapped.
State Diagram The state diagram describes the dynamic behaviour of a function unit. It
describes the states that a function unit can have, as well as the state
transitions. State diagrams can be used more than once. State diagrams that
were created once for a specific function unit, can be reused in other progam
locations.
Diagram Groups By combining parallel running state diagrams, you can describe the complete
and Instances functionality of a machine or system.
Functionality SCL offers the functional scope of a high level language such as:
• loops
• alternatives
• branch distributors, etc.
combined with control-specific functions such as:
• bit accesses to the I/O, bit memories, timers, counters etc.
• access to the symbol table
• STEP7 block accesses
Customer Benefits • The CFC product, as an option package, is smoothly integrated in the
STEP 7 architecture with a unified Look&Feel and with common data
management. CFC is easy to use, easy to learn and provides consistent
data management.
• You can use CFC for simple tasks as well as for very complex tasks.
• Simple interconnection technology makes communication between blocks
user-friendly to configure.
• Manual handling and management of machine resources is no longer
necessary.
• User-friendly testing and debugging are supported
Principle In the SFC Editor, you generate the flow chart by graphic means. The structure
Method of Operation elements of the plan are thereby placed according to fixed rules. You do not
have to worry about details such as algorithms or the allocation of machine
resources, but instead can concentrate on the technological aspects of the
configuration.
After generating the plan topology, you switch into the detail display (zoom-in
configuration) and there assign parameters to the individual elements, that is,
you configure the actions (steps) and the conditions (transitions).
In the programming of actions, functions of the basis automation, typically
generated with CFC, are controlled or selectively processed per operating
change and state change.
After configuration, you generate the executable machine code through the
SFC, download it into the PLC and test it with the SFC test functions.
Functionality S7-PLCSIM offers the following functions for running a program on a simulated
PLC:
• An icon in the SIMATIC Manager‘s toolbar switches the Simulation on or off.
If the simulation is turned on, every new connection is automatically made
to
the simulated PLC.
If the simulation is turned off, then every new connection is made to the
"real" PLC.
• You can create view objects that allow you to access memory areas, accu-
mulators and tabs of the simulated CPU. You can modify and display all the
data in these view objects.
• You can change the CPU‘s operating mode (STOP, RUN and RUN-P) just
as with a "real" CPU. The simulation also provides a "Pause" function that
allows you to halt the program execution without affecting the state of the
program.
Advantages With S7-PLCSIM, you can detect faults early in the development phase and
eliminate them. The quality of the user programs is greatly improved and the
commissioning costs are lowered.
Configuration A PG/PC is connected to the PLC using standard modems available on the
market. The following are supported:
• Analog modems
• External ISDN adapter/modems
• GSM technology (e.g. D1 network)
On the plant side, a teleservice-capable TS adapter is inserted between the
standard market modem and the MPI network. All stations (nodes) are thus
accessible on the MPI network with this connection.
Procedure To set up teleservice operation, you must carry out the following steps:
• Assigning parameters to the modem on the PG/PC side (TS adapter with
default parameters for the modem on the plant side) using the teleservice
package.
• Establishing a remote connection, supported by an electronic phone book,
which includes system management in the form of a file system.
• Carrying out remote maintenance with the full function scope of STEP 7
and the Engineering Tools.
Advantages Through the accessibility of PLCs in remote (other rooms, plants, etc.)
locations you can carry out technical services such as maintenance, update
services or fault analysis from a central service base cost effectively.
Functionality DOCPRO provides you with user-friendly functions for creating and managing
the documentation as a wiring manual of the plant:
• Creation of wiring manuals and job lists (result of print jobs);
a wiring manual is subdivided into job lists.
• Central creation, editing and managing of footer data; the individual jobs
can also be assigned footers that contain information about the particular
job.
• Standard layout templates supplied with the program in different formats as
the starting point for your own layouts and coversheets.
• Automatic and manual assignment of reference numbers; you can assign
the job‘s reference numbers according to your own criteria.
• Automatic creation of document indexes of the printed documentation.
• Printing of job lists and wiring manuals; the jobs of a job list are printed in
the predefined sequence.
You can take a look at the print reports and status list after printing is
completed.
Advantages The project data of a project/plant can be clearly documented with DOCPRO. A
structured (well-organized) documentation makes additional work on a project
as well as service work easier and thus saves time and money.
Basic Software The STEP 7 basic package already contains a series of function blocks for
PID Control solving simple control engineering tasks.
Standard This additional package contains blocks and a parameter assignment tool with
PID Control integrated control setting for standard tasks such as temperature controllers,
flow rate regulators, pressure regulators etc.
Modular Through the interconnection of supplied standard function blocks, you can
PID Control implement just about every closed-loop control engineering structure, even in
the upper performance range of process engineering.
The package contains 27 FBs and a commissioning tool.
Fuzzy Control Fuzzy Systems are used when the mathematic description of a process difficult
or even impossible, when a process behaviour is not consistent, when non-
linearities occur, but, on the other hand, experience with the process exists.
NeuroSystems Neuronal Systems are used with those problems, whose structure and solution
are only partly known.
NeuroSystems can be used in all automation levels, from the individual closed-
loop controller to the optimization of a plant.
Closed-loop Control The closed-loop control modules FM355 (for S7-300) and FM455 (for S7-400)
Modules are intelligent 4 and 16 channel modules for universal closed-loop control tasks
in chemical and process engineering, with rubber and plastics machinery, with
heating and cooling units, in the glass, ceramic and paper industry, etc.
M7- ProC/C++ The M7 ProC7C++ option software integrates the Borland C/C++ development
environment in STEP 7 and also provides a real-time capable multitasking
debugger.
Moreover, the M7-ProC7C++, provides the configuration of the Borland
development environment, so that no settings for path names for compiler and
debugger and no settings for options of compiler and linker are necessary.
M7-SYS RT M7-SYS RT is the runtime system, optimized for the M7 automation computer,
for implementing real-time tasks. With it, a powerful software base is available
for the various tasks.
M7-SYS RT includes in particular:
• the real-time and multitasking operating system RMOS32 (32-Bit Real Time
Operating System)
• a standard ANSI-C library
• the M7-API user interface (Application Programming Interface)
• interfaces for loadable drivers, as well as drivers for the serial interface
(e.g. 3964R) and TCP/IP drivers for Industrial Ethernet.
Industrial Ethernet The Industrial Ethernet network is a cell level network according the
international standard IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) and is designed for industrial use.
Extensive open network solutions are possible. A high transmission rate is
guaranteed with various transmission media. Industrial Ethernet is an industry
standard, world-wide tested and accepted. The Industrial Ethernet network
functions according to the IEEE 802.3 standardized accessing procedure
CSMA/CD (Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection).
Profibus PROFIBUS is the bus system for cell networks with a limited number of nodes.
It is based on the European standard EN 50170, Volume 2, PROFIBUS. Since
the requirements according to EN 50170 are fulfilled, PROFIBUS guarantees
openness for the connection of components from other manufacturers that
conform to standards. The PROFIBUS accessing procedure functions
according to the "Token Passing with subordinate Master-Slave" procedure. As
a result, a distinction is made between active and passive network participants.
AS-Interface The AS-Interface is a networking system for binary sensors and actuators in
the field area. With AS-Interface, binary actuators and sensors become capable
of communication, for which a direct field bus connection was not technically
possible up until now or was not economical.
Unlike the powerful PROFIBUS, the main area of use for the AS-Interface line
is the transmission of small amounts of information such as from switching
positions.
Function Modules The heart of SIMATIC WinCC is an industry and technology independent basic
system with all the important functions for operator control and monitoring,
such as:
• pixel graphic display
• measured value acquisition (archiving functions, data compression,
minimum and maximum values etc.)
• message display, archiving and reporting
• process communication to different PLC systems
• standard interfaces, for example, Microsoft programs
• documentation of machine and process sequences with individual reports.
Basis of WinCC WinCC is based on the 32-bit standard operating systems Windows 95/98 or
Windows NT from Mircrosoft. This platform gives WinCC the following
functionality:
• use of the Windows operating equipment (printer, driver, etc.)
• data exchange with other Windows applications via DDE, ODBC,
OLE and SQL.
• API programming interface
• use of hardware available in the market
Engineering The Engineering System can be designed as its own station in the system. It
System can however also be loaded as a software package in the OS components at
the same time.
The Engineering System has the following components:
• STEP 7 with the SIMATIC Manager, the central database, and with HW
Config for configuring hardware and networks. It also contains the servers,
that facilitate consistent configuration between PLC and OS.
• SCL (Structured Control Language) as PASCAL-similar higher level
programming language for block generation
• CFC (Continuous Function Chart) for graphic configuration of the basic
automation functions
• SFC (Sequential Function Chart) for graphic configuration of production
sequences
• Expansion of the SIMATIC Manager with a technological hierarchical view
• WinCC (Windows Control Center) for OS configuration
• DOCPRO for documenting configuration data
• Import–/Export wizard for bi-directional data exchange with other CAE
systems
These components are supplemented by libraries that provide pre-defined
blocks for PLC and OS.
Advantages This totally integrated automation offers you, among other things, the following
advantages:
• A scalable hardware platform, that is, the optimal (price/performance)
functionality (PLC or computer) can be chosen for the task to be solved.
• An open totally integrated automation environment, that is, an existing
system can be easily extended, or existing or future automation solutions
can be integrated.
Existing investments retain their value. The transition from an existing
SIMATIC, TELEPERM or TI environment can be carried out very easily.
• Powerful software increases the productivity in the implementation of a
project and thus reduces the engineering and life cycle costs. In addition,
expenses for commissioning, maintenance and service are reduced.
• SIMATIC is based on Windows standards and can thus easily use their
applications (standard software) and communication mechanisms.
