Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 219 Fail-safe mode 88.1 Organizational measures The HMI device should only be operated in the system with a battery or in the charging station. To ensure fail-safe operation of the HMI device the organizational measures described below must be complied with. Storing the HMI device WARNING Non-functional emergency stop button If the HMI device is not integrated, the emergency stop button does not function. To avoid confusion between effective and non-effective emergency stop buttons, only one integrated HMI device should be freely accessible. If the HMI device is not in use, it must be stored in a locked area. Handling the HMI device during operation CAUTION Shutdown or rampdown of the system due to empty battery An integrated HMI device with flat battery triggers a communication error. This results in the following reaction of the F CPU: • If the HMI device is logged on at the effective range: Shutdown • If the HMI device is not logged on at the effective range: Global rampdown Check the charge status of the battery of the ready-for-operation device via the "BAT" LED. • Recharge the HMI device in good time. To charge the batteries, the ambient temperature / battery temperature must not exceed 40 °C The higher the temperature, the longer it will take for the battery to charge. Find a place with a cool ambient temperature for the charging station. If necessary, allow the battery to cool first. You can check the battery temperature in the "OP" dialog box, "Battery" tab in the Control Panel. Alternatively, change the main battery.
Fail-safe mode 8.2 Switch-off behavior Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 220 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 The following must be noted when working with the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN: ● Pay attention to the "SAFE" LED. If the HMI device is integrated in fail-safe communication, the "SAFE" lights up and the emergency stop button is active. ● Pay attention to the "COM" LED. If you leave the area with sufficient WLAN coverage, the "COM" LED will flash. Communication between the HMI device and PLC is down. You can no longer operate the system with the HMI device. ● Check the "RNG" LED when the HMI device is logged onto the effective range. The "RNG" LED indicates when the HMI device is logged onto the effective range. Logging onto the effective range is required for the enabling button to be active. CAUTION Unauthorized operation possible It is not permitted to leave the effective range without an HMI device while the HMI device is logged on to the effective range. 8.2 Switch-off behavior Introduction Different switch-off behavior is possible depending on the situation in the plant: ● Emergency stop ● Shutdown ● Local rampdown ● Global rampdown Plant switch-off differs in its triggers and effects. DANGER No triggering of safety states The switch-off behavior described is only triggered in the system if the F CPU has been programmed accordingly. Emergency stop Press the emergency stop button to trigger the emergency stop. The emergency stop depends on the effective ranges. If the emergency stop button is pressed, the F CPU triggers an immediate stop of the machines assigned to it.
Fail-safe mode 8.2 Switch-off behavior Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 221 The emergency stop button is always active if there is PROFIsafe communication between HMI device and F CPU, i.e. if the HMI device is integrated in the PROFIsafe communication. If PROFIsafe communication is present the "SAFE" LED lights up. Shutdown Shutdown is triggered by the F CPU. The shutdown is specific to the effective range. If the F CPU detects a communication error for an HMI device logged on in the effective range, it triggers the emergency stop of the machines that belong to the effective range. Local rampdown Local rampdown is triggered if the HMI device is logged on at the effective range and if it leaves the effective range for longer than 30 seconds. Local rampdown is specific to the effective range. Local rampdown triggers a defined slow stop of the machines of the effective range. Global rampdown Global rampdown is triggered by the F CPU. Global rampdown is independent of the effective ranges. For global rampdown the following response must be programmed in the safety program of the F CPU: If the F CPU detects a communication error for an HMI device integrated in the PROFIsafe communication, it triggers a defined slow stop of the machines subordinate to it. Fact Trigger Switch-off behavior can be triggered by the following: ● The emergency stop button is pressed. ● A communication error occurs. ● Timeout: The HMI device is logged onto the effective range and the operator leaves the effective range with the HMI device for longer than 30 seconds. Triggering the switch off The following table shows the effect of the different triggers depending on the operating situation: Trigger Operating situation Emergency stop pressed Communication error Timeout HMI not integrated --- --- --- HMI integrated HMI device logged on at the HMI device is in the effective range Emergency stop Shutdown ---
Fail-safe mode 8.3 Integrating the HMI device Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 222 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 Trigger HMI device is outside of the effective range for less than 30 seconds Emergency stop Shutdown --- effective range HMI device is outside of the effective range for longer than 30 seconds Emergency stop Shutdown Local rampdown HMI device is logged off from the effective range Emergency stop Global rampdown --- 8.3 Integrating the HMI device Introduction During fail-safe operation, a safety program runs in the F CPU. This safety program communicates with the HMI device. The F CPU monitors the communication for errors and evaluates the signals. The terms "integrate" and "remove" refer to integrating the HMI device in and removing it from the safety program of the F CPU. Integrating If the HMI device is configured for the safety program, it is automatically integrated in the safety program when the project is started. The "SAFE" LED lights up to indicate that integration is complete. The emergency stop button becomes active as soon as the HMI device is integrated. Requirements ● WLAN communication is established. ● The Loader is displayed on the HMI device. ● Effective ranges and transponders are accepted. Procedure Proceed as follows: 1. If the project does not start automatically, start it in the Loader. PROFIsafe communication is established. While the connection is being established, the "Establishing secure connection" dialog box is displayed. The HMI device is integrated in the safety program of the F CPU. The "Test enabling button" dialog box opens. 2. Fully press both enabling buttons.
Fail-safe mode 8.4 Removing the HMI device Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 223 Result The project start screen appears. The "SAFE" LED lights up. 8.4 Removing the HMI device Removing This concept refers to intentionally removing the HMI device from the safety program. You have the following options for removing the HMI device: ● Close the project. ● Press and hold the ON/OFF button for at least 4 seconds. After it has been removed, the HMI device switches off. No side effects (such as a global rampdown) occur as a result of the operator removing the HMI device. Once the removal procedure is complete, the "SAFE" LED goes out and the emergency stop button is no longer active. WARNING Non-functional emergency stop button If the HMI device is not integrated, the emergency stop button does not function. To avoid confusion between effective and non-effective emergency stop buttons, only one integrated HMI device should be freely accessible. If the HMI device is not in use, it must be stored in a locked cabinet. Requirements ● The project is started. ● The HMI device is integrated in the safety program of the F CPU. Procedure Proceed as follows: 1. To close the project, use the operating element designed for this purpose. Alternatively, press and hold the ON/OFF button for at least 4 seconds. Following a prompt, the "Confirm removal" dialog box is displayed. 2. Press the enabling button to confirm the dialog box. Result The "SAFE" LED on the HMI device goes out as soon as you have pressed the enabling button to confirm the removal.
Fail-safe mode 8.5 Logging onto and off from the effective range Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 224 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 PROFIsafe communication is terminated. The HMI device is removed from the safety program of the F CPU. The project is terminated. If you have pressed the ON/OFF button, the HMI device switches off. Removal in the event of a communication error In the event of a communication error, the F CPU removes the HMI device and initiates a global rampdown. The "SAFE" LED on the HMI device goes out. The project is terminated. 8.5 Logging onto and off from the effective range Introduction An effective range is the range in which sections of the system, for example a machine, can be operated with the enabling buttons of the HMI device. As soon as you are in an effective range with the HMI device, you can log the device onto the effective range. Fail-safe operation of the system section delimited by the effective range is only possible after the HMI device has been successfully logged on. Note Before leaving the effective range with the HMI device, you must log it off from the effective range. Requirements for logging on ● The HMI device is integrated. The "SAFE" LED lights up. ● The ID of the effective range is marked in the system. ● The HMI device is located within the effective range. ● No other HMI devices are logged onto this effective range. ● The "Effective range name" operating element is configured and displayed as follows: . "Rangename" indicates the name in the case of any effective range. Procedure for logging on 1. Touch the "Effective range name" operating element. The "Effective range logon" dialog box opens. 2. Read the ID of the effective range from the machine or system to be operated. 3. Enter the ID of the effective range. 4. Confirm your entries.
Fail-safe mode 8.5 Logging onto and off from the effective range Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 225 The dialog closes. Result ● If the ID entered matches the ID configured for the effective range, the HMI device is logged onto the effective range. ● No other HMI device can log onto this effective range. The "RNG" LED lights up. ● You can use the enabling buttons to operate the machine in the effective range. ● The "Effective range name" operating element is displayed as follows: . Behavior in the effective range following successful logging on CAUTION Shutdown If the HMI device is in a state where it is constantly ready for operation, the battery will lose its charge. A flat battery will result in a communication error. The F CPU initiates a shutdown. Under no circumstances should the effective range be left without an HMI device while the HMI device is logged onto the effective range. CAUTION Rampdown If you leave the effective range without logging off, or the HMI device no longer recognizes the transponder, the following steps are carried out: • After 5 seconds, the "Effective range left without logging off" dialog box appears. If you do not return to the effective range within 25 seconds, the HMI devices initiates a local rampdown and begins logging off from the effective range. The HMI device is logged off from the effective range once logging off has been confirmed. This means that other HMI devices are free to log onto the effective range. Return to the effective range in good time. Always align the HMI device so that it is possible to measure the distance between the HMI device and the transponder. Note the displays of the HMI device LEDs; in particular, the "RNG" and "BAT" LEDs. The HMI device will trigger the vibration alarm under the following circumstances (if configured): ● The charging status of the battery is < 10%. ● You leave the effective range with the HMI device without logging the HMI device off from the effective range.
Fail-safe mode 8.6 "Override" mode Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 226 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 Requirements for logging off ● The HMI device is logged onto the effective range. The "RNG" LED lights up. ● The "Effective range name" operating element is configured and displayed as follows: Procedure for logging off Before leaving the effective range or project, you must log off from the effective range. 1. Touch the "Effective range name" operating element. The "Effective range logoff" dialog box opens. 2. Confirm logging off with the "OK" button. Result ● The HMI device is no longer logged onto the effective range. The "RNG" LED goes out. ● Other HMI devices can now log onto this effective range. ● The "Effective range name" operating element may be displayed as either of the following: or See also Distance measurement between HMI device and transponder (Page 61) Displaying the effective range name (Page 247) 8.6 "Override" mode Introduction The effective range functionality of the HMI device can be extended with the "Override" mode. "Override" mode can be used in the following cases: ● Application of existing protective measures instead of the effective range functionality If there are already safety measurements in your system, e.g. safety gates, they can be integrated into the safety concept with the "Override" mode. ● When sections of the system that are not covered by transponders (inside a robot cell, for example) are to be operated with the enabling buttons. In this case the system area must be secured by additional safety measurements, with a safety gate for example.
Fail-safe mode 8.6 "Override" mode Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 227 "Override" mode must only be used in defined system zones that are secured by additional protective measures, such as a safety gate. The switch for activating "Override" mode must be inside the protective device, and in an effective range. Sample configuration:  352),VDIH ① Safety gate ② Switch for activating "Override" mode ③ Transponder for logging onto the effective range ④ Foot grating for access monitoring ⑤ HMI device ⑥ Machine to be operated For additional notes on this subject, refer to the System manual "Safety Integrated" and the Function manual "Fail-safe operation of the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN". Requirements for activating "Override" mode ● The system has the protective devices specified for "Override" mode. ● The HMI device is integrated. The "SAFE" LED lights up.
Fail-safe mode 8.6 "Override" mode Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 228 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 ● The HMI device is logged onto the same effective range in which the override switch located. The "RNG" LED lights up. NOTICE If "Override" mode is activated and you leave the defined system area, "Override" mode will be automatically deactivated. You must reactivate the override switch when you return to the defined system area. Procedure for activating "Override" mode 1. Enter the protection zone. The protective device is thereby activated. 2. Activate the override switch. Result "Override" mode is active. The "Effective range quality" screen object is displayed entirely in green. The transponders are not evaluated when forming the effective range. Use the HMI device to operate the machine as though you were in the middle of the effective range. This approach applies for the entire override range. No other HMI device can log onto the effective range. Requirements for deactivating "Override" mode "Override" mode is activated. NOTICE It is only possible to log back onto this effective range once you have performed the following actions: • You have deactivated "Override" mode using the override switch. • You have logged the HMI device off from the effective range. The "RNG" LED is off. Procedure for deactivating "Override" mode 1. Use the override switch to deactivate "Override" mode. Result "Override" mode is deactivated.

Operating a project 9.2 Error cases Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 232 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 1. If one of the 3 WLAN networks is available when the HMI device is started, the HMI device connects automatically. The "COM" LED will flash as long as the WLAN connection is established. The configured sequence of SSIDs determines the order in which the HMI device will attempt to connect to the WLAN networks. 2. If the HMI device cannot establish a connection with any of the 3 configured WLAN networks, the HMI device will attempt to connect to other WLAN networks. For this to happen, connection to other WLAN networks must be authorized in the project. 3. Once the HMI device has established the WLAN connection, the "COM" LED lights up. 4. If the HMI device was unable to establish a connection with any of the WLAN networks, Not Connected is displayed in the status line of the dialog box. The project cannot be started. Operation Note Notes on fail-safe operation It is imperative that you observe the chapter titled "Fail-safe operation", and in particular the Organizational measures (Page 219). Starting the project When the HMI device is in the Loader, the project can either be started manually using the "Start" button, or will start automatically, depending on how the project has been configured. An automatic start occurs either immediately or after a configured delay time. The following steps are carried out when the project is starting: 1. The HMI device is integrated. 2. The emergency stop button becomes active. 3. The HMI device will show the project start screen or the zone-specific screen.

Operating a project 9.3 Direct keys Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 234 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 9.3 Direct keys Introduction Direct keys on the HMI device are used to set bits in the I/O area of a SIMATIC S7. Direct keys enable operations with short reaction times, that are, for example, a jog mode requirement. NOTICE PLC stop Please note that leaving the WLAN area will cause the PROFINET IO device to fail and will therefore result in a PLC stop. Determine suitable programming measures in the PLC, in order to prevent a PLC stop. Please refer to your system documentation to check whether additional information on this subject is available there. NOTICE Effectiveness of direct keys in offline mode Direct keys are active when both of the following conditions are satisfied: • The HMI device is in an area with sufficient WLAN coverage. • The HMI device is in "Offline" mode. NOTICE If you operate a function key with direct key functionality in a running project, the direct key function is always executed, independent of the current screen contents. Direct keys The following objects can be configured as a direct key: ● Buttons ● Function keys ● Screen numbers ● Handwheel ● Illuminated pushbutton ● Key-operated switch Note Direct keys result in additional basic load on the HMI device. Additional information about direct keys is available in the system manual "WinCC flexible communication".
Operating a project 9.4 Operator input options Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 235 9.4 Operator input options Once the project is transferred to the HMI device, current processes can be operated and monitored in the process control phase. You have the following options for operating the HMI device: ● Touch screen The HMI device is operated by means of the touch screen. The operating elements shown in the dialogs are touch-sensitive. Touch objects are basically operated in the same way as mechanical keys. You activate operating elements by touching them with your finger. To double-click them, touch an operating element twice in succession. CAUTION Do not use any pointed or sharp objects when operating the touch screen. Otherwise this may damage the plastic membrane of the touch screen. ● External input devices The following operator controls can be connected externally: – Keyboard, connected via USB – Mouse, connected via USB The use of external input devices is recommended for commissioning. Operating a project with an external keyboard An external keyboard can be used to operate a project in exactly the same way as with the HMI keyboard or screen keyboard. Note The function keys of the external keyboard are disabled. Use other keys on the external keyboard, which correspond to the HMI device keys. Operating a project with an external mouse An external mouse can be used to operate a project in exactly the same way as with the HMI touch screen. Click the described operating elements with the mouse.
Operating a project 9.4 Operator input options Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 236 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 Unintentional actions CAUTION Do not carry out several operations simultaneously. You may otherwise trigger unintentional actions. • With touch control: Always touch only one operating element on the screen • With key operation via an external keyboard: Do not press more than two keys simultaneously Observing the plant documentation Some operations with the project may require in-depth knowledge about the specific plant on the part of the operator. Proceed with caution, for example, when you use jog mode. Please refer to your system documentation to check whether additional information on this subject is available there. Operation feedback from operating elements The HMI device provides optical feedback as soon as it detects that an operating elements has been selected. The operating element receives the focus and is selected. This selection is independent of any communication with the PLC. Therefore this selection does not indicate whether the relevant action is actually executed or not. The configuration engineer can also configure the selection of an operating element so that it deviates from the standard. Please refer to your system documentation to check whether additional information on this subject is available there. Optical feedback from operating elements The type of optical feedback depends on the operating element: ● Buttons The HMI device outputs different views of the "Pressed" and "Unpressed" states, provided the configuration engineer has configured a 3D effect: – "Pressed" state: A "Unpressed" state:
Operating a project 9.5 Function keys Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 237 The configuration engineer determines the appearance of a marked field, for example, line width and color for the focus. ● Invisible buttons By default, invisible buttons are not displayed as pressed when they are touched. No optical operation feedback is provided in this case. The configuration engineer may, however, configure invisible buttons so that their outline appears as lines when touched. This outline remains visible until you select another operating element. ● I/O fields When you select an I/O field, the content of the I/O field is displayed against a colored background. With touch operation, a screen keyboard is displayed for the entering of values. 9.5 Function keys Function keys Function key assignment is defined during configuration. The configuration engineer can assign function keys globally and locally. Function keys with global function assignment A globally assigned function key always triggers the same action on the HMI device or in the PLC irrespective of the screen displayed. Such an action could be, for example, the activation of a screen or the closure of an alarm window. Function keys with local function assignment A function key with local function assignment is screen-specific and is therefore only effective within the active screen. The function assigned locally to a function key can vary from screen to screen. The function key of a screen can be assigned one function only, either a global or local one. The local assignment function takes priority over the global setting. The configuration engineer can assign function keys in such a way that you can operate operating elements with function keys, for example, the alarm view, trend view, recipe view or status / PLC. Multi-key operation Unwanted actions may be triggered, if the operator unintentionally actuates a key combination.

The security system is based on authorizations, user groups and users. If operating elements protected by a password are pressed, the HMI device first requests that you log on. A logon screen is displayed in which you enter your user name and password. After logging on, you can press the operating elements for which you have the necessary authorizations. The logon dialog can be set up by the configuration engineer via an individual operating element. In the same way, the configuration engineer can set up an operating element to log off. After logging off, objects assigned password protection can no longer be operated; to do so, log on again. Please refer to your system documentation to check whether additional information on this subject is available there.
Operating a project 9.16 Project security Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 262 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 Central user administration using SIMATIC Logon Users, user groups and authorizations can be stored on a central server. If user administration cannot contact the server, an error message is displayed. If this is the case, you can only log on locally. Check whether additional information is available in your plant documentation. The operation of SIMATIC Logon differs as follows: ● The simple user display is not supported ● Users cannot be deleted ● You cannot change your logout time ● When changing the password, you must enter it twice for security reasons ● The domain name is also indicated in the "User" field User groups and authorizations Project-specific user groups are created by the configuration engineer. The "Administrators" and "PLC User" groups are included in all projects by default. User groups are assigned authorizations. Authorization required for an operation is specifically defined for each individual object and function in the project. Users and passwords Each user is assigned to exactly one user group. The following persons are allowed to create users and assign them passwords: ● The configuration engineer during configuration ● The administrator on the HMI device ● A user with user management authorization on the HMI device Irrespective of the user group, each user is allowed to change his own password. Logoff times A logoff time is specified in the system for each user. If the time between any two user actions, such as entering a value or changing screens, exceeds this logoff time, the user is automatically logged off. The user must then log on again to continue to operate objects assigned password protection. Backup and restore Note Backup and restore is not available to central user administration with SIMATIC Logon. The user data is encrypted and saved on the HMI device to protect it from loss due to power failure.

Alarm groups The configuration engineer can group alarms into alarm groups. When you acknowledge an individual alarm of an alarm group, you acknowledge all alarms which belong to the same alarm group. Alarm buffer The alarm events are stored in an internal buffer. The size of this alarm buffer depends on the HMI device type. Alarm report The configuration engineer can activate alarm reporting on the project. In this case, alarm events are output directly on the connected printer. The configuration engineer can define whether each individual alarm is logged. An alarm of this type is printed when the alarm events "Incoming" and "Outgoing" occur. If you want to print alarms of the "System" alarm class, you have to print the contents of the associated alarm buffer. For this case the configuration engineer has to configure an operating element for printing the alarm buffer. Alarm log Alarm events are stored in an alarm log, provided this log file is configured. The capacity of the log file is limited by the storage medium and system limits. 10.2 Recognizing pending alarms You can recognize pending alarms that must be acknowledged by means of the alarm indicator. The alarm indicator is a graphic symbol indicating pending alarms or alarms requiring acknowledgment, depending on the configuration. The configuration determines whether an alarm has to be acknowledged or not. This is also defined by the alarm class which an alarm belongs to.

Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 277 Operating recipes 1111.1 Overview Introduction Recipes are used when different variants of a product are manufactured with the same process. In this case, the product variants differ in terms of their type and quantity of the components, but not in terms of the manufacturing process sequence. The configuration engineer can store the combination of each individual product variant in a recipe. Field of application Recipes can be used everywhere the same product components are used in variable combinations to create different product variants. Examples: ● Beverage industry ● Food processing industry ● Pharmaceutical industry ● Paint industry ● Building materials industry ● Steel industry 11.2 Structure of a recipe Recipes The recipe collection for the production of a product family can be compared to a file cabinet. A recipe which is used to manufacture a product corresponds to a drawer in a file cabinet. Example: In a plant for producing fruit juice, recipes are required for different flavors. There is a recipe, for example, for the flavors orange, grape, apple and cherry.

Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 321 Appendix BB.1 ESD guideline Definition of ESD All electronic modules are equipped with large-scale integrated ICs or components. Due to their design, these electronic elements are highly sensitive to overvoltage, and thus to any electrostatic discharge. These electronic components are therefore specially identified as ESDs. Abbreviations The following abbreviation is commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices: ● EGB – Elektrostatisch Gefährdete Bauteile/Baugruppen (Germany) ● ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device (internationally recognized term) Labeling ESDs are labeled with the following symbol:
Appendix B.1 ESD guideline Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 322 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 Electrostatic charging CAUTION Electrostatic charging ESDs may be destroyed by voltages far below the level perceived by human beings. Voltages of this kind develop when a component or an assembly is touched by a person who is not grounded against static electricity. Usually, it is unlikely that damage to an ESD as a result of overvoltage is detected immediately but may become apparent only after a longer period of operation. Prevent electrostatic charging of your body before you touch the ESD! Anyone who is not connected to the electrical potential of their surroundings is subjected to electrostatic charging. The following figure indicates the maximum electrostatic charge anyone is subjected to when coming into contact with the materials shown. These values correspond with specifications to IEC 801-2.         >N9@>@9ROWDJH5HODWLYHKXPLGLW\ ① Synthetic materials ② Wool ③ Antistatic materials such as wood or concrete Protective measures against electrostatic discharge CAUTION Observe grounding measures When working with electrostatic sensitive devices, make sure that the person, the workplace and the packaging are properly grounded. This helps to avoid electrostatic charging.
Appendix B.2 System alarms Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 323 As a rule, only touch the ESD if this is unavoidable, for example for maintenance. When you touch modules, make sure that you do not touch the pins on the modules or the PCB tracks. In this way, the discharged energy cannot reach and damage the sensitive devices. Discharge electrostatic electricity from your body if you are performing measurements on an ESD. Do so by touching grounded metallic parts. Always use grounded measuring instruments.

Glossary Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 331 PROFINET Within the framework of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA), PROFINET represents an enhancement of the following bus systems: ● PROFIBUS DP as well-established fieldbus ● Industrial Ethernet as the communications bus for the cell level The experience gained from both systems has been and continues to be integrated in PROFINET. PROFINET as an Ethernet-based automation standard from PROFIBUS International (PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V.) defines a vendor-independent communications and engineering model. PROFINET IO controller Device used to address the connected IO devices. That is: The IO controller exchanges input and output signals with assigned field devices. The IO controller is often the controller on which the automation program runs. PROFINET IO device A decentralized field device that is assigned to one of the IO controllers (e.g. remote IO, valve terminals, frequency converters, switches) PROFINET IO As part of PROFINET, PROFINET IO is a communication concept that is used to implement modular, distributed applications. PROFINET IO allows you to create automation solutions of the type with which you are familiar from PROFIBUS. PROFINET IO is implemented by the PROFINET standard for automation devices on the one hand, and on the other hand by the STEP 7 engineering tool. This means that you have the same application view in STEP 7 regardless of whether you configure PROFINET devices or PROFIBUS devices. Programming your user program is essentially the same for PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS DP if you use the expanded blocks and system status lists for PROFINET IO. PROFIsafe Fail-safe bus profile of PROFINET for communication between the safety program and the F I/O in an F system. PROFIsafe address Every F I/O has a PROFIsafe address. The F I/O uses this address to receive safety message frames from the F CPU or send safety message frames to the F CPU.
Glossary Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 332 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 Project Result of a configuration using a configuration software. The project normally contains several screens with embedded system-specific objects, basic settings and alarms. The project file of a project configured in WinCC flexible is saved under the file name extension *.hmi. You need to distinguish between a project on the configuring PC and that on an HMI device. A project may be available in more languages on the configuring PC than can be managed on the HMI device. The project on the configuring PC can also be set up for different HMI devices. Only the runtime project that has been generated for the respective HMI device can be transferred to it. Project file File generated from the runtime project file for use on the HMI device. The project file is normally not transferred and remains on the configuring PC. The file name extension of a source file is *.hmi. Project file, compressed Compressed format of the project file. The compressed project file can be transferred together with the runtime project file to the respective HMI device. For this purpose, backtransfer must be enabled in the project on the configuring PC. The compressed project file is normally stored on an external memory card. The file extension of a compressed file is *.pdz. Proof-test interval The proof-test interval is the time period after which a component must be put into fail-safe state. That is, it is replaced by an unused component or it is proven to be completely error-free. Recipe Combination of tags forming a fixed data structure. The data structure configured can be assigned data on the HMI device and is then referred to as a record. The use of recipes ensures that all the assigned data is transferred synchronously to the PLC during the transfer of a record. Runtime project file File generated from the project file for a specific HMI device. The runtime project file is transferred to the corresponding HMI device and used to operate and monitor plants. The extension of a compressed file is *.pdz. Runtime software The runtime software is a process visualization software used to test a project on a configuring PC.
Glossary Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 333 Safe state State of a unit in which safety is assured. In other words, the risk is acceptably low because it has been established that safety-related malfunctions do not occur or because of the safety measures taken to prevent possible safety-related malfunctions. The basic principle of the safety concept in a fail-safe system is the existence of a safe state for all process variables. Safety function Safety function is a mechanism integrated in fail-safe I/Os and CPUs, enabling them to be used in fail-safe systems. In accordance with IEC 61508: A safety function is implemented by a safety system to ensure that the system is kept in a safe state or brought into a safe state in the event of a particular fault. (user safety function) Safety integrity level Safety integrity level (SIL) in accordance with IEC 61508 and prEN 50129. The higher the safety integrity level, the more comprehensive are the measures to avoid systematic errors and control systematic errors and random hardware failures. Safety mode Operating mode of the HMI device in which safety-related communication can be performed via safety message frames. Safety-related communication Communication used to exchange fail-safe data. Screen Form of the visualization of all logically related process data for a plant. The visualization of the process data can be supported by graphic objects. Screen object Configured object used to display or operate the plant, for example a rectangle, I/O field or alarm view. STEP 7 STEP 7 is the programming software for SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC C7 and SIMATIC WinAC PLCs. Symbolic I/O field A symbolic I/O field is a field for the input and output of the value. Contains a list of default entries from which one can be selected.
Glossary Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN 334 Operating Instructions, 12/2007, A5E01003940-01 System alarm A system alarm is assigned to the "System" alarm class. A system alarm refers to internal states on the HMI device and the PLC. Tab sequence During configuration, this defines the sequence in which objects are activated on pressing the <TAB> key. Tag Defined memory location to which values can be written to and read from. This can be done from the PLC or the HMI device. Based on whether the tag is interconnected with the PLC or not, we distinguish between "external" tags (process tags) and "internal" tags. Transfer Transfer of a runtime project from the configuring PC to the HMI device. Transponder A transponder is a – usually wireless – communications, display or control device that receives incoming signals and automatically responds to them. The term transponder is derived from transmitter and responder. Transponders can be passive or active. Zone A zone is a defined area in the system. The HMI device recognizes the zone it is in. When entering and leaving the zone, the HMI device can display a specific system image. This allows zone-specific operator inputs to be disabled or enabled.
