4 1 Task 1 Task Introduction From the point of view of production and security, it is very useful for many areas of industry and production plants to monitor the plant by means of a network camera. Monitoring via network cameras is especially useful in places where it is difficult for the operator to see the plant or where local conditions require the presence of the operator in the direct vicinity of the machines. Another application case is the monitoring of several plant parts from one central location. The operator can quickly respond to a possible cause of malfunction and already bring the respective tool on the way to the machine to eliminate the fault, e.g. a work piece being jammed in the machine. Overview of the automation task The figure below provides an overview of the automation task: Figure 1-1 Description of the automation task A large plant is monitored by several network cameras. It shall be possible to monitor each part of the plant by means of the existing HMI operator panel. Each camera image shall be output via its own HMI screen. The figure shows an example of the setup. The images" of different network cameras are to be called via buttons. In the example shown, plant part 1 is monitored by camera 1 and output via the HMI operator panel. Entry ID: , V6.0, 07/2017 4

35 5 Notes and Tips 5.1 Upgrading an existing configuration 5 Notes and Tips 5.1 Upgrading an existing configuration Configuration has been created with a version prior to WinCC V13 SP1 Introduction This chapter is relevant for you, if you have an existing configuration with a camera control which has been created with a version prior to WinCC V13 SP1 and now shall be edited with WinCC V13 SP1 (or higher). To be able to use the camera control for SIMATIC Comfort Panels, the software with the CamControlES camera control had to be installed additionally for the versions WinCC V11 to WinCC V13. The software is available for download on the support pages. For WinCC V13 SP1, the camera control is integrated in WinCC (TIA Portal). Updating the configuration Case 1 The configuration has been created with a version prior to WinCC V13 SP1. The CamControlES camera control is not installed on the PC. The configuration is opened via WinCC V13 SP1 (or higher). The configured camera control is not displayed on the screens. Case 2 The configuration has been created with a version prior to WinCC V13 SP1. The CamControlES camera control is installed on the PC. The configuration is opened via WinCC V13 SP1 (or higher) without upgrading the version of the panel. The configured camera control is displayed on the screens. Case 3 The configuration has been created with a version prior to WinCC V13 SP1. The CamControlES camera control is installed on the PC. The configuration is opened via WinCC V13 SP1 (or higher) and the version of the panel is upgraded. The configured camera control is not displayed on the screens. Recommendation Install the CamControlES camera control on the PC. Before upgrading the panel (case 2), note down the settings of the camera control. After upgrading, use the integrated camera control and enter the settings previously noted. Entry ID: , V6.0, 07/

36 5 Notes and Tips 5.2 Commissioning 5.2 Commissioning Passwords used The password used or the URL for the output of the image of the network camera is stored unencrypted in the configuration files of the operator panel and on the configuration PC. Due to the openness of the password, no default password or no password for high access levels should be used (RT Admin, administrator of Windows domain, admin password of the camera etc.). The password used should only entitle to watch the live stream. Overview of performance Depending on the settings made at the camera control and the settings for the network camera, the operator panel e. g. has to make calculations with regard to scaling. This computing power might differ depending on the operator panel used. Example Comfort Panel: The statements refer to the output of the camera image via the camera control. Figure 5-1 Perfomance comparison of the camera control Comfort Panel 4 Comfort Panel 7 / 9 / 12 Comfort Panel 15 / 19 / 22 low high Resolution of network camera <-> size of camera control If the resolution of the network camera is different from the configured size of the camera control, the panel has to carry out the scaling depending on the settings on the camera control. If possible, select a setting for which the panel does not have to carry out any unnecessary scaling. You will achieve the best performance, if the resolution of the network camera is the same as that of the configured camera control. Modifying settings of the network camera If you make any changes to the settings of the network camera, you should disconnect the network connection between the network camera and the operator panel before. Depending on the network camera used, otherwise undefined states for the output of the camera image might occur. Entry ID: , V6.0, 07/

37 5 Notes and Tips 5.2 Commissioning Bad image quality / update If updating of the image is too slow, try to increase the frame rate (fps) of the network camera. If the image tends to have "clusters" (large pixels / bad color gradient), try to increase the bit rate" (kbit/s). Try several settings in order to determine the best possible image quality. Note: A slight delay cannot be avoided when displaying the camera image via the operator panel. Interruption of the Ethernet connection If the connection between the network camera and the operator panel is interrupted during operation, the image of the camera will be output in black. No message will be output announcing that the connection has been interrupted! Over a period of approx. 15 minutes, the system will try automatically to reestablish the connection. If the connection between the network camera and the operator panel is re-established within this time, the image displayed on the operator panel will be updated automatically. If no connection is established within 15 minutes, the screen with the camera control has to be updated by calling the image again. Interruption of the power supply If the power supply of the network camera is interrupted during operation, the image of the camera will be output in black via the camera control. No message will be output announcing that the power supply of the network camera has failed! If the power supply is restored within a period of approx. 15 minutes, the image displayed on the operator panel will be updated automatically. If the power supply is not restored within 15 minutes, the screen with the camera control has to be updated by calling the image again. Connection monitoring / voltage monitoring Some network cameras are provided with configurable outputs via which certain signals/modes of the camera can be output. For this, refer to the information given in the manufacturer s manuals. Entry ID: , V6.0, 07/

38 5 Notes and Tips 5.2 Commissioning Update time of the camera <-> camera control (operator panel) Depending on the settings selected for the network camera and the camera control, there is a certain time delay concerning the output of the camera image via the operator panel. There will always be some time delay in the output of the camera image. Camera image is displayed in the Internet Explorer but not on the camera control If your camera supports several streams and you have specified/configured one of these streams, this stream has to be specified in the address field of the camera control under Camera URL as well. Example: SIEMENS IP camera CCPW3025-IR Port rtsp: 554 Stream URL: stream1 Camera URL: rtsp://<ip-adresse>:554/stream1 Precautions The functions and solutions described in this entry are mainly limited to the realization of the automation task. Please also take into account that corresponding protective measures have to be taken in the context of Industrial Security when connecting your equipment to other parts of the plant, the enterprise network or the Internet.
