SIMATIC PCS 7 Process Control System The modern concept and architecture of SIMATIC PCS 7 allow cost-effective implementation of a plant during all its life cycles from planning, engineering, training, and commissioning followed by operation and maintenance and including future expansion and economic operation of the plant. By adhering consistently to international industrial standards for data exchange with the enterprise management level such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, or SAP R3/PP-PI, the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system can be fully integrated into the company-wide information networks. A5E

12 PC Components of a PCS 7 System 1.2 PC Components in PCS 7 PCs are used in the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system as follows: For configuring and commissioning process control systems with the engineering station: - AS Engineering - OS Engineering - BATCH Engineering For monitoring and controlling the processes from operator stations: - OS Single Station - OS Server - OS Client For configuring, monitoring, and controlling batch processes with SIMATIC BATCH: - SIMATIC BATCH - Server - SIMATIC BATCH - Client an entire automation system for small plants - PCS 7 BOX (engineering station, OS station and integrated CPU) 1-2 A5E

13 PC Components of a PCS 7 System 1.3 PCS 7 Software The PCS 7 software includes the following software packages: For engineering (see section "PCS 7 Engineering Station"). For operator control and monitoring of the automation process including necessary evaluation options (see section "PCS 7 Operator Station"). For operator control and monitoring of batch processes including the necessary evaluation options (refer to the section "SIMATIC BATCH"). These sections also mention optional packages (for example for redundancy, failsafe systems) with which special solutions can be implemented. Installation How to install a PC is described in the section: "The PCS 7 PC - Hardware, Software, and Installation". Authorizations The section "Software Packages and Required Authorizations" lists the individual software packages with the required licenses and authorizations. Operating system For PCS 7 PCs, a suitable operating system is used depending on the application (standalone PC, server or client) (refer to the section "Software Packages and Required Authorizations"). A5E

14 PC Components of a PCS 7 System 1.4 PC Hardware PCs You will find recommendations on the PCs used in PCS 7 in the section "The PCS 7 PC - Hardware, Software, and Installation" and in the catalog Process Control System PCS 7; Catalog ST PCS7.

17 2 PCS 7 Engineering System 2.1 PCS 7 Engineering Station Overview This section explains the structure of a PCS 7 engineering station (simply referred to as PCS 7 ES below). The chapter explains the required hardware and software components and the essential combinations for application. PC Configurations of the PCS 7 ES Hardware of the PCS 7 ES Software of the PCS 7 ES Notes on Installing a PCS 7 ES Introduction SIMATIC PCS 7 provides a comprehensive engineering system for configuring process control systems that allows projects to be worked on throughout a system and plant. The engineering system can be used for the entire range of projects from small systems to large manufacturing complexes. The same tools are used to work with and manipulate the project database from the initial configuration of a plant through to the running of the plant. This means that the project data are created and maintained with identical tools during the entire life of a plant. Engineering Station The PCS 7 ES is a PC or PC network on which the software for the essential configuration work for a PCS 7 project is installed (an example is shown in the figure below). A5E

18 PCS 7 Engineering System 2.2 PC Configurations of the PCS 7 ES Examples of Configurations In a PCS 7 system, the following PC configurations are typical: PCS 7 ES on a Single PC PCS 7 ES for a Small System PCS 7 ES - Working on a Project with Several PCs 2.3 PCS 7 ES on a Single PC Simple structure with one PCS 7 ES on a single PC (an example is shown in the figure below). 2.4 PCS 7 ES for a Small System In a small system (for example a training station), a combination of PCS 7 ES and operator station can be used (for an example, see below). 2-2 A5E

19 PCS 7 Engineering System 2.5 PCS 7 ES - Working on a Project using Several PCs It is possible for more than one user to work on a project. If it is not acceptable to perform the engineering tasks with only one PCS 7 ES, you can distribute the engineering work over several PCs. How to do this is described in Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station. The following variants are possible: Branching and Merging Projects Multiproject Engineering Multi-user Configuration Branching and Merging Projects The figure below illustrates the distribution of the project on separate engineering PCs. How to distribute (branch) and reassemble (merge) a project is described in the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station. A5E

20 PCS 7 Engineering System Advantages You can do the engineering work on PCs that are not part of the network (for example configuring at different locations). If you break up a master project, the connections between the charts are retained in the form of "textual interconnections". As long as you keep to the procedure as described in the Configuration Manual (Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station), you can configure as if you were working on independent projects. Multiproject Engineering The figure below illustrates the distribution of the multiproject (total project of a system) on separate engineering PCs. Advantages Compared with working in the multiuser mode, a multiproject allows you to work more quickly because several users can work on parts of the multiproject (entire project of a system). How the users work: See table below. The entire project of a system can be divided into several smaller projects. Simple branching of the multiproject and merging of the projects (implementation of projects). Projects can consist of the configuration data for AS stations, OS stations or BATCH Engineering. Several projects can be stored on a PC. (See table below) The BATCH engineering can be done on a separate PC for a multiproject. The failure of the PC of a project affects only the data that are being edited on this PC. Functions that are required to run in the multiproject for all projects can be repeated when all the projects are available. By saving the multiproject, all projects are automatically backed up in one path. Within the context of a multiproject, PC 1 ("Client", operator) with PCS 7 can access a PCS 7 project stored on PC 2 ("Server") (for example for inter-project functions). How the user works depends on the way the projects are stored. A distinction is made between the following: - central storage of the projects of a multiproject on a server and 2-4 A5E

21 PCS 7 Engineering System - distributed storage of the projects of a multiproject. Working Methods Dependent on the Type of Storage of the Projects of a Multiproject Operating system Storage of the data of the multiproject Editing the data Restrictions Central storage of the projects of a multiproject on a server: Since several projects can be open at the same time on a central server and inter-project functions can be started, only the use of the Windows 2000 Server operating system is permitted for the server (this is due to the restrictions that apply if other operating systems are used). The operating system on the other engineering PCs can be Windows 2000 Professional. The projects of the multiproject are located on one central server. Every user can access the projects on the server from their engineering PC. It is advisable to select one user for interproject functions. Distributed storage of the projects of a multiproject: The operating system of the engineering PCs is Windows 2000 Professional. Due to the distributed storage of the projects (only one project per PC), the limitations of the Windows 2000 Professional operating system are not reached. One project is located on one PC (every user has their "own project" on their PC). Each user only works on their own project. When inter-project functions are required, the PC on which the multiproject is stored must be used. It is advisable to select one user for inter-project functions. You avoid operating system restrictions and access conflicts if the users make sure that they open the projects separately; in other words not from within the multiproject. If the PC with the multiproject is a server with the Windows 2000 Server operating system, both working methods can be used one after the other or alternately. Example: During the initial phase of a multiproject, the projects can be distributed and are then edited locally. In the final phase of commissioning, the last jobs are performed only on the central server. Further information For further information on the requirements and recommendations for working with multiprojects, refer to: The online help: Help on STEP 7 The Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station. Multi-user Configuration The graphic below illustrates engineering with separate PCs. How to edit project data is explained in the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station. A5E

22 PCS 7 Engineering System Caution! Install the PCS 7 Toolset on the server PC. If neither the PCS 7 Toolset nor STEP 7 is installed on the server, the first client to log in to the project (for example Client 1) adopts the function of the (active) database server. If this client fails (for example due to a network failure or the client is turned off), no client that logged in after the failed client can access the project any longer. In the worst case, the failure of the database server on the client can lead to a loss of data since the data required for reorganization (for example following a power outage) are no longer available to the server. The data for reorganization is kept only locally on the client on which the database server is active. The PCs of the individual users function as terminals in a network. All users store the project data on one PC. Advantage There is no additional effort required for data backup or data consistency Note Make sure that only one user ever works on one AS. If you require several users to perform engineering work, multiproject engineering is recommended. You should also read the information in the section "Notes on the Multiuser Configuration and on Using Network Drives" in the readme.wri file of the software package PCS 7 Toolset CD V6.0. Configuring PCs for the Multiuser Configuration If you want to perform your engineering work in a multi-user configuration, we recommend that you use a client-server configuration. Clients If a user wants to compile the program for a SIMATIC station, while other users work on the project, the following points should be noted: 2-6 A5E

23 PCS 7 Engineering System To avoid loss of performance, it is not advisable for more than 3 or 4 engineering clients to be connected to one engineering server. Make sure that the users coordinate the compilation programs of the SIMATIC stations and archiving of the projects with each other. Engineering of the hardware and network configuration of a station should be handled by only one user or be performed centrally from one PC. 2.6 Hardware of the PCS 7 ES Basic Hardware The basic hardware used with PCS 7 is listed in section "The PCS 7 PC Hardware, Software, and Installation". We recommend that you use the tested components (refer to Process Control System PCS 7; Catalog ST PCS 7).

PC Configurations of the PCS 7 OS Hardware of the PCS 7 OS Software of the PCS 7 OS Notes on Installing a PCS 7 OS Introduction SIMATIC PCS 7 provides a fully integrated system for operator control and monitoring of process control systems. This meets all the requirements of a modern operator control and monitoring system. SIMATIC PCS 7 can be used for systems ranging from small to extremely large. The configuration is created on the engineering system (PCS 7 ES) and the process is controlled during runtime from the PCS 7 OS. The sections of configured data relevant for control of the plant must be transferred from the PCS 7 ES to the PCS 7 OS. Operator Control and Monitoring Stations A PCS 7 OS is a PC or a PC network on which the software for operator control and monitoring of a plant is installed. A5E

34 PCS 7 Operator Station 3.2 PC Configurations of the PCS 7 OS Examples of Configurations The following configurations are typical for a PCS 7 OS: OS Single Station Client-Server Configuration An OS can be created with servers and assigned clients. - OS Server - Redundant OS Server - OS Client - OS Archive Server (OS server for archiving functions) - Redundant OS Archive Server (structure as for Redundant OS Server) Application OS Server Server/client systems Redundant OS Servers Server/client systems OS Client Operator Control and Monitoring OS Single Station Single OS Redundancy no yes not relevant no Communication yes yes - yes with the AS Number of ASs Load-dependent, maximum 30 Load-dependent, maximum 30 No connection to the AS Load-dependent, maximum 30 Number of monitors - maximum on one station Interface from client Access to server during run-time Permanent operability achieved when... Load-dependent, max. 32 OS clients (max. 32 monitors) Dependent on load of server-server communication More than one OS client is used with the same configuration. Load-dependent, max. 32 OS clients (max. 32 monitors) Dependent on load of server-server communication Different preferred servers are configured in client projects - not possible Max. 12 servers simultaneously OCM stations distributed on several servers not relevant Several separate PCs are used with the same configuration 3-2 A5E

35 PCS 7 Operator Station 3.3 OS Single Station You can use the OS single station (single user system) for operator control and monitoring in small systems or sections of a system. Permanent operability of a plant can be achieved by using more than one OS with the same configuration. Application You can use the OS single station for the following: Small plants Local operator stations Training systems Recommendation If you want more than three OS single stations to access an AS, it makes more sense to use an OS server with three OS clients since with a client-server configuration: only the server accesses the data of the AS. The server distributes the data of the AS to the OS clients. the load on the AS and plant bus is reduced. common operator logs are kept. Redundant OS Single Station The OS Single Station can also be configured redundantly with the optional package "WinCC Redundancy". A5E

36 PCS 7 Operator Station 3.4 OS Server Application You can use an OS server: In all types of system. To supply up to 32 clients with process data. Up to a total of 32 monitors can be operated on these clients (for example 8 clients each with a maximum of 4 monitors ). When you require a minimum load on the AS and require several operator control and monitoring stations. Permanent operability of a system can be achieved by using more than one OS server with the same configuration or redundant OS servers. Number of servers: see section "Number of Workstations" Note Using an OS server as an operator control and monitoring station is permitted as of PCS 7 V6.0 SP3 is no more than 4 OS clients are operated with this server. Difference between Client-Server and Several Single Stations One advantage of a client-server structure for operating the plant is that a uniform operator log is kept. On an OS single station, operator input is only registered locally. 3-4 A5E

37 PCS 7 Operator Station 3.5 Redundant OS Servers Application You should always use redundant OS server pairs when the availability of the operator control and monitoring system is essential in your system. Properties A redundant OS server pair requires only one configuration (like one OS server). From client PC perspective, a redundant OS server pair behaves just like one OS server. In a project with a redundant OS server pair, the advantage is that if one of the OS servers fails, the process can continue to be operated and monitored using the redundant OS server without any interruption. Number of servers: see section "Number of Workstations" Note Using an OS server (redundant) as an operator control and monitoring station is permitted as of PCS 7 V6.0 SP3 is no more than 4 OS clients are operated with this server. A5E

38 PCS 7 Operator Station Setting Redundancy The installation of a component of a redundant OS server pair is just the same as the installation for an OS server. To install a redundant OS server pair: Transfer the "SIK/SIMATIC WinCC Redundancy" authorization to the PCs that will operate as a redundant server pair. After creating a project, you must make the project-specific settings. Refer to the online help on WinCC "Redundancy". The Redundancy optional package of WinCC ensures the data integrity of the operator stations in PCS 7 following the failure of an OS. Redundant OS servers have to be connected via a redundancy cable. OS Failover In a system with redundant OS servers, you can achieve permanent operability by configuring different preferred servers for the client projects. The clients fail over to the redundant partner (OS server): Immediately when an OS server is deactivated by the runtime user interface. Delayed for seconds (< 30 seconds, typically 15 seconds) if there is an interruption on the terminal bus (TCP/IP timeout). Immediately when the OS server becomes invalid (for example triggered by the failure of an OS server). When a communication connection to an AS component is interrupted and when this connection is capable of functioning with the redundant partner (OS server). When one or more applications fail on a PCS 7 OS (server, client). The signs of life of the installed WinCC applications are monitored by the WinCC application "Health Check". Health Check "Health Check" monitors the installed WinCC applications that are required to run on the computer. "Health Check" performs the follow checks automatically: Checks the functionality of the required WinCC applications. If "Health Check" detects a problem, redundancy control triggers a failover after a certain time if the problem persists. Checks the status of processes (running, exists, entering state, exiting state). Health Check is an expansion of the redundancy control for the applications that cannot be monitored by redundancy control. If Health Check detects a problem, redundancy control triggers the failover. 3-6 A5E

39 PCS 7 Operator Station 3.6 OS Client Application In PCS 7, an OS client is used as an operator control and monitoring station. The plant data is provided by an OS server. An OS client can access the data of up to 12 OS servers at the same time (for example plant sections within a project). You can achieve permanent operability by configuring different preferred servers for the OS client projects in a system with redundant OS servers. Caution! If OS clients access servers of different PCS 7 projects, you must assign different OS names (not the PC names) (for example Proj1OS1, Proj2OS1 etc.). Overview of a Client Client Technological You can distribute a project on several OS servers (redundant distribution of a project OS servers must be configured identically). Configuration data When the OS is compiled, the project data for the OS stations (clients and server) is generated. The client and every OS server has its own project. Process interface The attachment to the plant bus, data storage, and the processing of process data is implemented by the OS server. A5E

40 PCS 7 Operator Station 3.7 OS Archive Server In PCS 7 Version 6, you can specify the maximum number of process values that can be archived in a system within a certain time during the configuration of your server. The following options are available to you for archiving process values: Configuration OS server with all server applications on one PC OS archive server only for archive applications (TAG logging) Maximum Number of Process Values Archiving of up to 1000 process values per second Archiving of up to 5000 process values per second An OS process value for archiving corresponds to one archive TAG. Note The changes to process values over time are stored on the OS archive server. Alarms and events are archived on the OS server. Authorization The authorization required depends on the number of process values (yatg) see section "Authorizations for the PCS 7 OS". Number of Servers See section "Number of Workstations" OS server with all server applications on one PC On an OS server that is used for all server tasks, up to 1000 process values can be archived per second. 3-8 A5E

41 PCS 7 Operator Station OS archive server only for archive applications (TAG logging) Implemented by server-server communication WinCC server without process interface (no interface to the plant bus necessary). The process values are transferred from the OS servers to the OS archive server. Clients fetch the archive values from the archive server (redundant archive server possible). With one OS archive server, up to 5000 process values (TAGs) can be archived per second. Further information Long-term archiving with the optional package "StoragePlus": StoragePlus is meant for archiving diverse data from PCS 7 in a central database on a long-term period. Note StoragePlus is are not part of the PCS 7 Toolset CD Version 6.0 program package. see section "Long-term archiving with StoragePlus" A5E

42 PCS 7 Operator Station 3.8 Hardware of the PCS 7 OS Basic Hardware The basic hardware used with PCS 7 is listed in section "The PCS 7 PC Hardware, Software, and Installation". We recommend that you use the tested components (refer to Process Control System PCS 7; Catalog ST PCS 7). Graphics With a suitable multi VGA card, you can connect up to 4 monitors for operator control and monitoring of the process on one OS client PC. Bus Interfacing Terminal bus A PCS 7 OS interfaces with the terminal bus over an Ethernet card. Plant bus The attachment of PCS 7 OS components (OS single station, OS server redundant, and OS server) to the plant bus can be implemented using various interface modules for Industrial Ethernet: - CP 1613 recommended - Standard Ethernet module or CP 1612 or CP 1512 PCMCIA (no attachment of redundant connections and only a maximum of 8 AS connections possible) Signaling Devices The possible options are available for outputting message signals: You can activate up to 3 signal contacts (for example for different signaling devices - acoustic/optical) using a standard signaling module for PCS 7 PCs. You can use a PC sound card for outputting signals. You can use sound cards and standard signaling modules at the same time. With the sound card, you can play an individual sound for each of the maximum 16 message classes. You create the configuration in the "Acoustic signal" editor A5E

44 PCS 7 Operator Station Brief Description of the Programs for the OS You can install the following programs using the Setup program of the PCS 7 Toolset CD. To use the software, you require authorizations (license keys) (see section "Software Packages and Required Authorizations"). Program Name Automation License Manager WinCC SFC Visualization PCS 7 PCS 7 SIMATIC NET PC software SIMATIC Logon Service SIMATIC Logon Admin Tool SIMATIC Electronic Signature Brief Description To transfer and manage authorizations (license keys). With the introduction of the Automation License Manager, license keys and authorizations are handled in the same way. This is a visualization and configuration software for visualization in the single user or multiuser mode. Staging of the authorizations - see section "Authorizations for the PCS 7 OS" allows you to display and control sequential control systems. contains standardized libraries with tested, ready-to-use blocks (connection to AS and faceplates) with interface offers a basis for company-wide data exchange. Contains the software components for configuring and detecting the network adapters installed in the PC The SIMATIC Logon Service activates the user dialogs for the applications managed with SIMATIC Logon and assigns users are specific permissions after successful logon. It supports the functions login, logoff, change user and change password. With the SIMATIC Logon Admin Tool, the roles defined for the applications can be assigned to Windows users/user groups. With suitable administrator permissions, Windows users and user groups can also be edited. With SIMATIC Electronic Signature, operations can only be executed after they have been enabled by the previously assigned Windows users/user groups. The assignment of the users and user groups is made in the application. Long-term archiving with the optional package "StoragePlus" StoragePlus is meant for archiving diverse data from PCS 7 in a central database on a long-term period. Note StoragePlus is are not part of the PCS 7 Toolset CD Version 6.0 program package. For further information, see section "Long-term archiving with StoragePlus" 3-12 A5E

45 PCS 7 Operator Station 3.10 Authorizations for the PCS 7 OS The PCS 7 Toolset package contains the software for several software products. With the software packages for PCS 7, you receive only the authorizations (license keys) required for the specific program package. PCS 7 OS Authorization For each PCS 7 OS station, you require a scalable authorization. PCS 7 OS distinguishes between the following authorizations: RT authorizations allowing unlimited (in terms of time) use of WinCC in the runtime mode. The use of the editors is possible only in the demonstration mode for a limited time. RC authorizations allowing the use of WinCC in the runtime mode and in the configuration mode with no time limits. For process objects (PO), different numbers of external variables (PowerTag - PTg) are required for visualization. To calculate which authorization is necessary, an average of approximately 30 external variables is assumed per process object. The authorization required to archive process values in the OS project depends on the number of process values (archive TAGs - ATg). The RT (xptg)(yatg) / RC (xptg)(yatg) authorization specifies how many external variables (xptg) and process values (yatg) are permitted for the configuration. Example RC 8000 PTg 512 ATg With this authorization, you can define the following configuration: Up to 8000 external variables (8000 PTg) and up to 512 process values (512 ATg). A5E

46 PCS 7 Operator Station Scaling of the authorization for external variables ( PowerTag - PTg) If you use the "Compile OS" function in the SIMATIC Manager, you can obtain the number of configured external variables in the WinCC Explorer as follows: 1. Select the OS. 2. Result: In the right-hand dialog window, you will find the number of configured external variables (see figure below "External Variables 1328" configured). The authorization allows you to configure a certain number of external variables that can be controlled and monitored at the PCS 7 OS. Projects in which SIMATIC BATCH is used require higher authorizations. Authorization Number of external variables OS single station, OS server, redundant OS server 8000 external variables = authorization 250 PO 64K external variables = authorization 2000 PO 100K external variables = authorization 3000 PO 150K external variables = authorization 5000 PO 256K external variables = authorization 8500 PO OS Client 128 (with 512ATg see Authorization Process Values) Scaling of the authorization process values (archive TAG - ATg) You will find the number of process values used in the OS project in the "Tag Logging" editor (see figure below, bottom right, 15 process values configured of 512 authorized process values) A5E

47 PCS 7 Operator Station The authorization allows you to archive a certain number of process values with PCS 7 OS. The basic package is supplied with an authorization for 512 process values. The following scaled authorizations are available for OS server and OS single station: Maximum of 512 archivable process values (for OS client and basic authorization for OS server) 512 through 1500 archivable process values (powerpack) 1500 through 5000 archivable process values (powerpack) 5000 through archivable process values (powerpack) through archivable process values (powerpack) You care increase the number of archivable process values using powerpacks. Example: If you need to archive approximately 20,000 and process values, install the basic authorization and the powerpacks for 1500 through process values (3). Note If you open a project with an inadequate number of authorized variables, the OS program automatically switches to the demonstration mode. On a client with an RT/RC authorization, the maximum number of power tags (PTg and archive tags (ATg) is permitted since the number of tags is checked only on the server. Further information For more detailed information on authorizations - see section "Software Packages and Required Authorizations". A5E

51 4 SIMATIC BATCH 4.1 SIMATIC BATCH Overview This section explains the structure of PCs for implementing batch process control in a PCS 7 system. The required hardware and software components and the basic application combinations are explained. PC Configurations for SIMATIC BATCH Hardware for the BATCH PC Software for the BATCH PC Notes on Installing SIMATIC BATCH Introduction To implement batch process controls, SIMATIC PCS 7 uses the SIMATIC BATCH software. SIMATIC BATCH can be used for the entire range of projects from small systems to large manufacturing complexes. SIMATIC BATCH is fully integrated in the PCS 7 system. Operator Control and Monitoring with SIMATIC BATCH PCs for operator control and monitoring of batch processes are simply called BATCH PCs in the rest of this section. The BATCH PC is a PC on which the software for working with SIMATIC BATCH is installed. To make sure that the information required for a BATCH client is available, the following condition must be met: A BATCH PC always requires access to the run-time data of a PCS 7 OS station via the BATCH server. A5E

52 SIMATIC BATCH Configurations Normally, the following client combinations are used with SIMATIC BATCH: Separate PCs for PCS 7 OS and SIMATIC BATCH PCS 7 OS and SIMATIC BATCH combined on one PC. BATCH Engineering The process cell (plant) data are created on the PCS 7 ES with BATCH Engineering. The process cell data contain the following information for SIMATIC BATCH: The PCs belonging to the process cell and the tasks assigned to the PCs The communications interfaces The parameters to be transferred The interface blocks to be used 4-2 A5E

53 SIMATIC BATCH 4.2 PC Configurations for SIMATIC BATCH Using separate PCs speeds up the processing of all data. The following configurations are typical for a BATCH PC: BATCH Single Station Client-Server Configuration A SIMATIC BATCH network can be set up with servers and assigned clients. - BATCH Server - Redundant BATCH servers - BATCH Client Prior to installation, make sure that you are aware of the configuration options. Application BATCH Server Server/client systems Redundant BATCH servers Server/client systems BATCH Client Operator Control and Monitoring BATCH Single Station Single BATCH PC Redundancy no yes not relevant no Interface from client max. 32 client PCs recommended (see BATCH client) max. 32 client PCs recommended (see BATCH client) - Not possible - use a server with client PCs 4.3 BATCH Single Station You can install BATCH on a single PC. This configuration is suitable only for small systems. A5E

54 SIMATIC BATCH 4.4 BATCH Server The process data is processed by the BATCH server. The BATCH server can access the process data only using the OS components. The project data and the process data are kept on the BATCH server where they are available to the BATCH clients. There can only ever be one BATCH server in a BATCH project. There can only ever be one BATCH server in a PCS 7 project. There can be more than one BATCH Server in a network. Number of servers: see section "Number of Workstations" 4-4 A5E

55 SIMATIC BATCH 4.5 Redundant BATCH servers You can increase the availability by setting up redundant BATCH Server PCs. A redundant server pair behaves like one server from the perspective of the process. Redundant BATCH Server PCs allow the software to be updated during operation. Redundancy with Data Replication The implementation of a redundant BATCH Server PC depends on the requirements for data storage, the failover times, and the resources. Redundancy is achieved by two BATCH Servers with a master/standby failover if a problem occurs. Databases are installed on each of the BATCH Servers. Data is stored on each BATCH Server. The standby server synchronizes the data using database functions. By constantly synchronizing the databases (data replication) between the servers, the BATCH applications can always access the current data of the active BATCH Server. If one BATCH Server PC fails, the other continues with the current data. Number of Servers See section "Number of Workstations" A5E

56 SIMATIC BATCH 4.6 BATCH Client The BATCH client opens the server project over the network; in other words, it does not have its own BATCH project. The data of several BATCH projects/servers can be stored on one BATCH client. A client application can only work with one project/server. The number of BATCH clients on one BATCH server is limited only by the load on the server (32 clients on one server did not cause any problems during load tests). Data Exchange The link between different BATCH PCs and between BATCH stations and OS stations is over the terminal bus. Points to Note about the BATCH Client Note the following special situations: The user login depends on the run status of the OS client. When the BATCH client applications start, the following login is adopted: - OS client in RUN status - the OS user of the OS client. - OS client not in RUN status - the operating system user of the PC. The BATCH client applications work with only one BATCH Server and all OS servers configured in the BATCH project that have relations with the BATCH server. If you install BATCH client applications on an OS client, the OS servers always remain the same for the BATCH client applications regardless of the active OS server of the OS installation. 4-6 A5E

57 SIMATIC BATCH 4.7 Hardware for the BATCH PC SIMATIC BATCH client installations can also be installed on PCS 7 OS clients because the program package is integrated in the PCS 7 process control system. The basic hardware used with PCS 7 is listed in section "The PCS 7 PC Hardware, Software, and Installation". We recommend that you use the tested components (refer to Process Control System PCS 7; Catalog ST PCS 7). Required hard disk space SIMATIC BATCH software To install the files on the hard disk of a BATCH station, you require space of approximately 60 Mbytes. SIMATIC BATCH database If you make a standard installation of SIMATIC BATCH, databases are created in the following folders: Database Drive folder: Required hard disk space Dictionary (schema) database Global database Offline database Online database...\siemens\batch\sbdata\ global\dict\......\siemens\batch\sbdata\ SB6_xxxxxxxxxx\offline\......\Siemens\BATCH\sbdata\ SB6_xxxxxxxxxx\online\......\Siemens\BATCH\sbdata\ SB6_xxxxxxxxxx\project\... Approx. 1-2 Mbytes Approx. 1-2 Mbytes Dependent on the size of the process cell data, recipes, and library objects Dependent on the size of the process cell data and number of batches Restoring data To restore the data following a system problem, SIMATIC BATCH creates a database recovery file. - This file grows depending on the actions performed on the database. - The size of the file can be restricted. Printers You require a printer if you want to print out recipes or batch reports. All graphics printers supported by Windows 2000 are suitable. The software was tested with HP laser printers. Multi VGA cards If you use multi VGA cards (up to 4 monitors on one PC), SIMATIC BATCH is always displayed on the first monitor. A5E

58 SIMATIC BATCH 4.8 Software for the BATCH PC The PCS 7 Toolset CD V6.0 software package contains the necessary software on several CDs. You can start the installation program of SIMATIC BATCH within the system setup of PCS 7. You will find information on program versions and on the operating system in the section "Software Packages and Required Authorizations". How the individual components of SIMATIC BATCH are used is explained in the online help of SIMATIC BATCH.

Order the next higher authorization. An upgrade is possible. Further information For more detailed information on authorizations - see section "Software Packages and Required Authorizations" A5E

61 SIMATIC BATCH 4.10 Notes on Installing SIMATIC BATCH Installing SIMATIC BATCH PCs. Redundant Systems If you want to install and configure redundant SIMATIC BATCH PCs, please contact : the service center and the contacts named in the section "PC Components of a PCS 7 System > "Configuring and Ordering". Requirements Note For communication between BATCH PCs and the AS, access to the PCS 7 OS is necessary. SIMATIC BATCH can only handle the process data in conjunction with an OS component. Control system messages of the BATCH PCs are displayed on the PCS 7 OS (OS server, OS single station system or OS client). To use SIMATIC BATCH, you must have the software for a SIMATIC PCS 7 OS version 6.x installed on the relevant OS stations. Batch data management can only be installed on one BATCH Server. You must make sure that the BATCH server on which the batch control and batch data management will run can access WinCC V6.0. If you want to use the BATCH server as an operator control station for SIMATIC BATCH, the BATCH Server should be assigned a maximum of one BATCH client to avoid performance problems. You should not link more than 32 BATCH clients to a BATCH server. Note Projects converted from SIMATIC BATCH versions earlier than V6. can continue to use the interface blocks of the AS configuration in CFC and SFC.

71 6 PC Components in the Network 6.1 Communication with PCs In PCS 7 version 6.0 Industrial Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) is recommended for communication on the terminal bus and the plant bus. The following bus systems will be looked at more closely: Terminal bus Plant bus Terminal bus In PCS 7, the terminal bus is used for the following: To download to the operator stations (OS) from the engineering station (ES). To transfer the data prepared by the OS servers to the operator control and monitoring station. To provide communication between the OS stations and BATCH stations. To communicate 7 components. The TCP/IP protocol is used. A5E

72 PC Components in the Network Plant Bus In PCS 7, the plant bus is used for the following: For communication between AS and AS For communication between AS and OS For downloading to the AS For downloading to the PC station You can set the following protocols on the plant bus : ISO protocol: This is recommended to achieve better performance on the connections between PCS 7 PC components and SIMATIC stations. TCP/IP protocol Note A mixture of ISO protocol and TCP/IP protocol is not permitted. OPC Server In PCS 7, you can use an OPC server (see section "Interfacing OCM Systems over OPC"). Further information For more detailed information on network components, refer to the catalog Process Control System PCS 7; Catalog ST PCS A5E

73 PC Components in the Network 6.2 PC Components in the Network This section provides you with an overview of the networks with PC components used in PCS 7. The type of network used depends on the following factors: The number of connected PCs The span of the planned network The required transmission rate for the data The design of the network depends on other factors such as: Availability (redundancy) Expandability (maximum number of bus nodes) Immunity to noise (cable shielding, problems resulting from magnetic and electrical fields) By selecting suitable components you can influence operation and performance: Break networks down into smaller subnets (gateways, bridges, switches) Reduce or eliminate the effects of interference caused by magnetic and electric fields (fiber-optic components) Establish communication with distant stations (modem, router) Simplify commissioning and service in the LAN Planning and Design Notes In PCS 7, Industrial Ethernet is recommended as the network type for communication with PC components and between PC components. If you want to exchange data with non-pcs 7 networks, note the following points: - Design and structure the network for the PCS 7 components so that no noise can affect the PCS 7 network. - To interconnect (and isolate) the networks use suitably configured switches, routers or gateways. If you want to establish communication between a redundant AS (SIMATIC H Station) and an OS server/an OS Single Station, this communication should be established via a CP A5E

74 PC Components in the Network 6.3 Downloading the AS Configuration The first time you download to the AS you have the following options: Downloading to the AS over Industrial Ethernet Download to the AS over MPI Downloading to the AS over Industrial Ethernet Requirement: The AS must have a SIMATIC CP installed with a fixed MAC address (for example, type: 6GK7443-1EX11-0XE0 firmware 2.0). The SIMATIC CP with a fixed MAC address should be accessible directly (without connectivity devices, for example switches) over Industrial Ethernet from the PCS 7 ES. Further information For more detailed information on downloading over Industrial Ethernet, refer to the following manual: Manual; S7-CPs for Industrial Ethernet / Part B4 - CP 443-1; Section Configuring with STEP 7 - Assigning Addresses the First Time. Downloading to the AS over MPI Requirement: a PC with an MPI card (for example a PCS 7 ES with a CP 5611). an MPI cable PCS 7 or STEP 7 installed a project with the correct hardware configuration. Downloading the hardware configuration is explained in the help on STEP 7 "Setting the PG/PC Interface" and in the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station. 1. Establish a connection between the PC and AS with an MPI cable. 2. Set the access path to the AS to the MPI card. 3. Download the hardware configuration to the AS. After successfully downloading of the hardware configuration to the AS, change over the access path to the AS to Industrial Ethernet. This allows you to download the configured data to the AS more quickly. 6-4 A5E

75 PC Components in the Network 6.4 Interfacing OCM Systems over OPC OLE for Process Control (OPC) provides a standard mechanism for communication with numerous data sources. It is does not matter whether these sources are machines in your factory or a database in your control center. Interfacing OCM Systems over OPC OPC is based on the OLE/COM technology of Microsoft. The OPC interfaces of PCS 7 meet the requirements of the OPC Foundation. For PCS 7, data exchange based on process variables (data access) is possible. For more detailed information on OPC, refer to the documentation "OLE for Process Control Data Access Standard, Version 2.0" published by the OPC Foundation. PCS 7 OS Server with OPC Data Access Server The applications of the OPC interface are based on the client-server model. Along with the PCS 7 Toolset CD program package, an OPC Data Access Server is also installed. Each OPC client application can access process data (tag management) of this OPC server. The PCS 7 OS server provides the functionality of data access as the interface to the systems in industrial communication. The PCS 7 OS server can be used as OPC Data Access Server or OPC Data Access Client. On the PCS 7 OS server, you can use OPC to establish a connection to several operator stations. You can also established the direction to the operator station over a network (for example a local data network).

76 PC Components in the Network 6.5 Time-of-Day Synchronization Time-of-Day Synchronization in the PCS 7 Project In a PCS 7 system, all the systems should work synchronously. This requires synchronization of all components: Synchronizing the AS Synchronization of the systems for operator control and monitoring in the system. Note To synchronize the Systems of the PCS 7 Box, please use the manual; Process Control System PCS 7, SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX. Synchronizing the AS There are several ways of synchronizing the time of day on the AS in PCS 7 as shown below: An AS can operate on the plant bus as: Time master or Time slave Further information For information on configuring the time-of-day synchronization for an AS, refer to the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Engineering Station. Synchronizing the Systems for Operator Control and Monitoring of the Plant To synchronize the time-of-day of the PCs you have the following options in PCS 7: Synchronizing the Time of Day over the Plant Bus Synchronizing the Time of Day over the Terminal Bus Further information on synchronizing an operator station The configuration and synchronization of the time-of-day on an operator station is described in the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Operator Station. Further information on synchronizing BATCH stations You can synchronize the time-of-day of a BATCH station using operating system tools. 6-6 A5E

77 PC Components in the Network Synchronizing the Time of Day over the Plant Bus Note To synchronize the Systems of the PCS 7 Box, please use the manual; Process Control System PCS 7, SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX. OS servers and automation systems are connected to the plant bus. As a rule, all OS servers are specified as time masters, so that every OS server acting as a passive time master can become an active time master in the event of a timer failure. All automation systems are basically time slaves. Requirement Time synchronization via the plant bus requires one of the following interfaces: CP1613 Network card in combination with BCE software The interfaces provide the following options: Sending and receiving of time message frames Saving of time Configuration as time master or time slave Further information For more detailed information on configuring synchronization of the time-of-day on an operator station, refer to the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Operator Station. A5E

78 PC Components in the Network Synchronizing the Time of Day over the Terminal Bus Note To synchronize the Systems of the PCS 7 Box, please use the manual; Process Control System PCS 7, SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX. The terminal bus connects OS clients to OS servers. In certain network configurations, the terminal bus can also connect the remaining company network. In the PCS 7 environment, you will use the following two settings for the terminal bus to assign parameters for time synchronization: The "Use the time from a connected WinCC server" option is important for the time synchronization of OS clients: All OS servers on the terminal bus for which the OS client has downloaded server data can act as time masters for an OS client. OS clients have only simple network cards. They cannot send or receive time message frames; instead, they query the time from the OS server in fixed cycles. The "Use the time from a specific computer" option is important for time synchronization of OS servers. The computer names input in this case correspond to the computer names of the domain controllers in the Windows 2000 network. By default, the OS server receives the time from computer 1. If this domain controller fails, then the OS server receives the time from the second, redundant domain controller. Setting the Time of Day Using External Components The "Let time be set by external (third party) components" option is not applicable in the PCS 7 environment. Synchronization of Runtime Components of PCS 7 OS With the "Time Synchronization" editor, you can make the settings for configuring the components of PCS 7 OS. You can open the editor in the WinCC Explorer with the following menu command: Editors > Time Synchronization. Further information For more detailed information on configuring synchronization of the time-of-day on an operator station, refer to the Configuration Manual Process Control System PCS 7; Operator Station. 6-8 A5E
