Overview
Introduction
The sample blocks for STEP 7 and WinCC flexible are to offer the user various
automation functions or the use of these blocks as templates for the configuration
of individual blocks.
The example configuration shows how the technology blocks are called and
interconnected in STEP 7 and WinCC.
The advantages when using faceplates in WinCC flexible shall be illustrated:
central changeability
When changes are made to a faceplate, all locations of this faceplate are
automatically updated.
reuse in other projects

Faceplates are stored in a library to be able to reuse them in another project.
Reducing the workload for the configuration

It is to be possible to quickly integrate frequently used automation components
into a configuration.

Introduction
Faceplates are objects that you compile from existing picture objects.
Faceplates provide the following advantages:
central changeability
reuse in other projects
reducing the workload for the configuration
Faceplates are created and changed in the Faceplate editor. The created
faceplates are added to the Project Library and can be inserted into screens in
the same way as other objects.
Using a faceplate
After you have generated a faceplate, the faceplate appears as an object in the
project library.
Insert the faceplate into your process screens and configure it for the respective
location in the properties window.
Faceplate instance
Inserting a faceplate into a process screen generates an instance of this faceplate.
When editing the faceplate in the project library the resulting faceplate instance is
automatically updated.
Reusing faceplates in several projects
WinCC flexible enables you to add faceplates to a global library. This enables you
to reuse faceplates also in other projects.
As soon as you insert a faceplate from a global library into a screen, the faceplate
is also stored in the project library. You only change the faceplate in the project
library and the changes are not automatically adopted in the global library.

Interfaces of the faceplate window
Figure 4-1

V 1.00, Entry ID: 36435784
The interface of a faceplate generally differentiates between dynamic and static

properties:
A dynamic property is always connected to a tag via the interface; in Runtime,
the tag supplies the property with values.
Static properties are either configured directly in the picture editor, the
properties are then stored together with the faceplate, or at the interface of the
faceplate. Static properties cannot be changed in Runtime.

Bits 0..6 are used for opening or selecting the individual tabs of the faceplate
window (maximized display). If more than one bit is set, only the background of the
faceplate window is displayed. If bit 7 is set, only the faceplate window title bar is
displayed (minimized display) irrespective of the status of the remaining bits. If
none of the bits has been set, the faceplate window is closed.

Process
The tags of this group feature a process connection and are the basic interface
between controller and operating device.
Command
The Command property is used to transfer the commands of WinCC flexible to
the controller. The block in the controller evaluates the control command, executes
the desired action if necessary and subsequently resets all pending control
commands. For this purpose, the value of the control tag is set to value 0.

Service
The Service property is a HMI object and is used as access protection for the
Service tab.
ATTENTION
In the application the Service group and the Service user is used as
authorization. The password is pre-set to 100 and can be changed in
the user administration of WinCC flexible.
When you create a new instance of the faceplate window and do not
enable the Service property, the Service tab has no access
protection.

window (maximized display). If more than one bit is set, only the background of the
faceplate window is displayed. If bit 7 is set, only the faceplate window title bar is
displayed (minimized display) irrespective of the status of the remaining bits. If
none of the bits has been set, the faceplate window is closed.

Alarms and messages

This application uses the discrete alarm procedure to display messages in
WinCC flexible. The messages have to be configured in the WinCC flexible alarm
management as discrete alarms.
In the sample configuration, all discrete alarms for the used faceplate instances
have already been created, just like their trigger tags.

Processing of switching commands in the controller

The WinCC flexible OPdwCmd control tag of a block is used to transmit
commands from WinCC flexible to the controller. The block in the controller
evaluates the control command, executes the desired action if necessary and
subsequently resets all pending control commands. For this purpose, the value of
the control tag is set to value 0.
Further notes for the use in WinCC flexible can be found under the Command
property.

Simulation On/Off
The Simulation ON mode can simulate the analog signal. This function is
important, for example, if automatic functions are already to be tested during the
configuration phase, but a process interface does not yet exist. Without the
simulation of feedback, many automation functions (e.g. step sequences) cannot
be successfully performed, since the feedback signals are often required for
switching conditions in step sequences or they trigger error messages. The
SCdwInp input and the QSCdwCmd output is not evaluated in this mode.

Displaying and resetting interlock

Blocks that influence the plant process as actuators (e.g. valves, pumps,
controllers etc.) usually have signals for the interlock function (INTERLOCK).
If the interlock condition of a block is active, the actual function of the block (e.g.
open valve, switch on motor etc.) cannot be implemented.
If the specific function of the block is already active (e.g. motor on) when the
interlock condition applies, the actual function of the block is deactivated (e.g.
motor switched off).
This function is used to avoid critical plant conditions.

Configuration
Here you will find out

how the faceplates of the application are structured. This information is necessary
if you want to adapt the faceplates to your specific requirements.
Principle of layer technique
For the faceplates of this application, the principle of layer technology was used.
The layer technique enables differentiated editing of the faceplate objects.
The faceplate editor as well as the picture editor has 32 layers, however, the layers
of the faceplate are only available within the faceplate editor. After inserting a
faceplate from the library into the screen editor (creating a faceplate instance), it
can only be assigned one layer within the screen editor, just like any other screen
object.
However, the offset in depth within the faceplate remains.
Offset in depth structure

Objects of layer 0 are in the background of the pictures, objects of layer 31 are
in the front. The objects of a single layer are also arranged hierarchically. When
you create a screen or a faceplate, the object that is inserted first is placed at the
back within the layer. Each additional object is inserted one position ahead. Within
a layer, you can move the objects forward and backward.
Editing faceplates
Changes on faceplate blocks can be made centrally.
There are two options for changing a faceplate and its instances:
Changing the faceplate block via an instance (location)

Mark the faceplate in the workspace of the picture editor and select the
command Faceplates > Edit faceplates via the menu bar. Alternatively, the
command Edit faceplate can also be selected via the context menu of the
instance.
Changing of faceplate in the library

Open the project library and select the faceplate. Via the context menu of the
faceplate, select the command Edit faceplate.
V 1.00, Entry ID: 36435784
43
Configuration
Working with layers

One of the 32 layers is always active. When you insert objects into a screen or a
faceplate, they are assigned to the active layer by default. The number of the active
layer is displayed in the Layer toolbar and in the properties window of the screen,
the active layer is highlighted in color.
Figure 5-16
When you open a picture or edit a faceplate, all 32 layers are always displayed. In
the "Layer" icon bar you can hide all layers except the active layer. You then
specifically edit the objects of the active layer.

Configuration
5.1
Configuration of the faceplate window

The faceplate window is divided into several layers. Since neither the layers of a
faceplate nor the layers of a screen can be accessed during runtime, the
application uses the Visibility animation type of each object. For this purpose,
the Visibility property is connected in the faceplates.
5.1.1
Layer 0 frames
Layer 0 contains all objects that are absolutely necessary for displaying the
faceplate window. This objects represents the frame of the faceplate window.

Description
1.
Creating a new project
Create a new STEP 7 project with a S7 controller and a HMI station

(WinCC flexible) or open an existing project.
If you are using an existing project, it is advisable to create a backup

before performing the following steps.
2.
Inserting blocks
Open the project of this application with the SIMATIC Manager.
Copy block FB611 into the respective directory of the S7 program.
The block uses the standard blocks RDREC (SFB52) and WRREC
(SFB53), they also need to be added to the project.
Should you use a new project then also add the OB1 calling block and
the DB611 instance data block to your project.
3.
Completing icon table
If the project is empty, copy the icon table of the application to the
relevant directory of the S7 program.
If you are using an existing project, complete the existing icon table with
the entries of the application.
4.
Calling the blocks
If you are using an existing project, you have to integrate the FB611
block into the cycle of the PLC. The required instance data block is
generated automatically.

Configuring hardware
Integrate the SIMCODE pro into the hardware configuration:
Enable the Profibus interface of the CPU and assign a Profibus

address.
Integrate a SIMCODE pro to the Profibus (you can find it in the

catalog under PROFIBUS-DP > Additional Field Devices >
Switching Devices > SIMOCODE > SIMOCODE pro ) and
assign a Profibus address.
Insert the Basis Type 2 telegram.
For the input and output address select the range from 256 onward.
Enter these adresses also in the OB1 when calling the SimoDir
(FB611):
SCdwInp: PED256
QSCwCmd: PAW256
Open the object properties of the SIMOCODE pro and assign

8191 (1FFF) as diagnostic address. Enter this diagnostic adresses
also in the OB1 when calling the SimoDir (FB611) in hexadecimal
form:
DPV1_ID: DW#16#1FFF
Save and compile the hardware configuration and load it in the

controller.
