Automation Task
Description of the automation task

This application describes the configuration of the "PIDCtrl" (FB 670) technology
block and the related faceplates. They are used to visualize and control a
configurable software PID controller to control technical processes with continuous
input and output variables. To calculate the variables the block uses the "CONT_C"
standard block from the "PID Control Blocks" standard library.
The block offers the following functions:
NOTE
Local / remote mode
Setpoint specification
Error signal specification
PID algorithm
Manual value specification
Processing of the manipulated value
Disturbance variable compensation
Interconnection of external errors
Before using the block in your own projects, check the proper functioning
of the block and adjust it to your individual requirements where necessary.
The block described in this application is only intended as a template for
creating your own blocks.

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.

Function Mechanisms
Basically, the interface of a faceplate 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.

Animations
The tags of this group are used to display and represent the faceplate windows;
process connection is optional.
Visibility
The "Visibility" property is used to influence the display properties of the faceplate
window during runtime.
The following properties are influenced:
opening
closing

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 is set, the faceplate window is closed.
The following table illustrates the structure of the tags.

The tag can also be defined as an internal tag without PLC connection if only a
limited number of control tags are available.
If the tag has a PLC connection, read and write access is possible from the
controller. Aside from the known screen selection, the respective faceplate
window can also be opened from the controller and a specific tab can be
selected.

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".

A dynamic property is always connected to a tag via the interface; in Runtime,

the tag supplies the property with values.
Static properties are configured either directly in the screen editor, the
properties are then saved together with the faceplate, or at the faceplate
interface. Static properties cannot be changed in Runtime.

Visibility
The "Visibility" property is used to influence the display properties of the faceplate
window during runtime.
The following properties are influenced:
Note
opening
closing
minimizing
maximizing
selection of individual tabs
When clicking the faceplate icon, the "OP_VISIBILITY" tag is always loaded with
value "1". This results in the respective faceplate window being displayed with
tab 1.

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 are set, the faceplate window is closed.

The tag can also be defined as an internal tag without PLC connection if only a
limited number of control tags are available.
Read and write access from the controller is possible if the tag has a PLC
connection. Aside from the known screen selection, the respective faceplate
window can also be opened from the controller and a specific tab can be
selected.

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 unter the "Command"
property.

"QLMN_HLM" or "QLMN_LLM" are active.
An upper or a lower warning value can be configured on the inputs "LMN_HWN"
and "LMN_LWN". When the upper warning value is exceeded or the lower warning
value is fallen short of, then the outputs "QLMN_HWN" or "QLMN_LWN" are
active.
Note
"LMN" = "LMN_HLM"
"QLMN_HLM" = 1
"LMN" = "LMN_HLM"
"QLMN_HWN"= 1
"LMN" < "LMN_LWN"
"QLMN_LWN" = 1
"LMN" = "LMN_LLM"
"QLMN_LLM" = 1
The parameters to limit the manipulated variable and to trigger a message when
a threshold value is reached are checked for plausibility and are set accordingly.
In the HMI system or on the block outputs the respective process variables of the
parameters can be read. The inputs on the blocks are not overwritten.

External error / block locked

Operating the block is not possible if a signal is pending on the "LOCK" input. All
process values at the outputs are frozen. When the signal goes to "LOCK" the
block is back in normal mode, possibly changed input states are readjusted. The
state is displayed on the "QLOCK " output:
"LOCK" = 0
"QLOCK" = 0
"LOCK" = 1
"QLOCK" = 1
Operating the block is not possible if a signal is pending on the "ERR_EXTERN"

input. All process values on the outputs receive value ,0. When the
"ERR_EXTERN"signal disappears again, the block continues to be in an incorrect
state until it is reset with "L_RESET" or the HMI operation. The state is displayed
on the output "QLOCK" and "QERR":
"ERR_EXTERN" = 1
"QERR_EXT" = 1
"QERR" = 1
"L_RESET"
When setting the "LIOP_SEL" input parameter and a positive edge on the
"L_RESET" input, the "QERR" output is reset.
"LIOP_SEL" = 1 AND "L_RESET" = 1
"QERR" = 0
"OP_dwCmd"
By pressing the "RESET" button in the faceplate window, the bit 24 is set in
controlword "OP_dwCmd". The controller evaluates this bit and resets the
"QERR" output. The "LIOP_SEL"input parameter must not be set when doing
this.

V 1.0, Entry-ID: 36435784
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 hierarchic layers within the faceplate remain.
Hierarchic layer 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 1.0, Entry-ID: 36435784
53
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 5-18
When you open a picture or edit a faceplate, all 32 layers are always displayed. In
the icon bar "Layer" you can hide all layers except the active layer. You then
specifically edit the objects of the active layer.
54
V 1.0, Entry-ID: 36435784
5.1
Configuring 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. These objects represent the faceplate window frame.
Figure 5-19
The following different screen modes exist:
opening
closing
minimizing
maximizing
V 1.0, Entry-ID: 36435784
55
Opening and maximizing

The display types "opening" and "maximizing" do not differ in "layer 0", the full
faceplate window is always displayed.
When "opening", "layer 1" (tab 1) is always additionally displayed, when
"maximizing", the tab last active ("layer 1", "layer 2", "layer 3", "layer 4", "layer 5" or
"layer 6") is displayed.
All objects of "layer 0", apart from the title bar, have the following settings for
visibility:

Starting up the Application

how to integrate the STEP 7 block "PIDCtrl" (FB 670) and the respective
WinCC flexible faceplates into an empty or existing project.
This example uses the non-interconnected STEP 7 block, the "PIDCtrlIcon"
faceplate icon and the "PIDCtrl" faceplate window.
Note
The application provides an executable project. You only need to perform the
steps explained in this chapter if you wish to integrate the blocks into your own
project.
If you only want to get an idea about the principle of operation of this application,
then it is sufficient to open the file "36435784_S7_WCF_Blocks_CODE.zip" in
the SIMATIC Manager via the command "File > Retrieve".
Save the blocks to a S7 controller of your choice and start the HMI station
(WinCC flexible RT) integrated in the project on a connected PC.
NOTE
Process interfacing was configured for Industrial Ethernet. If necessary

adjust your CPU settings, the "HMI station" and the "PG/PC interface".

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 the FB670 block to the respective directory of the S7 program.
The block uses the "CONT_C" (FB 41) standard block, it also has to be
added to the project.
If you are using a new project, also insert the calling block OB35 and the
DB670 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 include the FB670 block
in OB35. The required instance data block is generated automatically.
5.
Checking block consistency
After intergrating the blocks into an existing project it is recommended to

check the block consistency. To do this select the command "Check
block consistency" in the context menu of the block container.
NOTE
The block call of the FB670 has to be cyclically. If you are using a CPU with
timed alarms other than the OB35, you can also connect integrate the
FB670 there. However, you have to tell the block the clock cycle of the
timed alarm in ms via the "SAMPLE_T" input.
Note
In network 2 of OB35 a PT1 element for the simulation of the controlled system
was planned. In normal mode this is superfluous and can be deleted.
If you want to enable the simulation, the inputs and outputs of the block have to
be interconnected accordingly. Further notes can be found in the comment of
network 2 in OB35.
