1 Task1.1 Overview

IntroductionWhether it is assembly lines, packaging lines or any other processes of the valuechain of a product, there are different forms of imprints or labels used in order toidentify or label goods or to carry out various quality checks. The informationrequired for this is attached to the goods in the form of data matrix, QR or barcodes. The stationary code reading system SIMATIC MV400 was developed to beable to read out this information and to process it in many ways. Easy integration tothe production process enables the direct connection of the code reader viaPROFINET to the control system (e.g. SIMATIC S7-1500).

Overview of the automation taskThe figure below provides an overview of the automation task.Figure 1-1

SIMATIC MV400

þ ý

Description of the automation taskGoods that are provided with a data matrix code are to be checked on the exampleof a fictitious shaping station. For this purpose, the system has to read out thecodes and check via a code comparison (“match”) whether the good may runthrough the process.This example illustrates how the code reader can be configured and integrated intothe control system for this purpose. Furthermore, practical additional functions ofthe SIMATIC MV400 code reading system will be demonstrated.

Remote Client Displaying diagnostic screens

ExplanationThe SIMATIC S7 controller takes on the control of the fictitious production process(shaping station) of this application example. It triggers the image acquisition,analyses the read result of the code reader and controls the conveyor belt of theplant. In addition, several functions of the code reader can be operated from thecontroller (e.g. change of program). The control frames required for this, aregenerated and sent by function blocks of a prepared block library. This library canbe found as download in the Siemens Industry Online Support Portal (\4\).The user-defined interface is located on the web server of the code reader and canbe called via web browser. In this application example, it is used to adjust basicimage acquisition settings (brightness, exposure time, ...).

The remote client, based on a HTTP interface, is implemented via an HMTLcommand in this application. The web page that has been created for this purposeis also located on the web server of the code reader and can be called via webbrowser.In order to display diagnostic screens of the coder reader, there is a web pagewhich is especially optimized for HMIs on the reader and that can be viewed viaweb browser.Two prepared programs for image acquisition are supplied with this application forthe code reader:· Program 1: Reading of data matrix code (DMC) and comparison with

predefined match string· Program 2: Reading of bar codes without match string comparison

AdvantagesThe solution presented here offers you the following advantages:· Easy and fast integration into your SIMATIC S7 automation system· Communication of the S7 CPU via simple interface to the code reader

(prepared block library)· Flexible expandability, for example, of read code types· The SIMATIC MV400 code reading system can be conveniently configured via

web interface (setup support)· Demonstration of different innovative functions of the SIMATIC MV400 code

reading system on a practical example

DelimitationThis application does not contain a description of:· Handling of STEP 7 and WinCC in TIA Portal· Industrial Ethernet and PROFINET· Basics of SIMATIC automation systemsBasic knowledge of these topics is assumed.

Sequence of the core functionalityTable 2-2

No. Explanation

1. Once the plant is up and running, the coder reader has to be switched toprocessing mode with a program number specification (see chap. 6.3.1). Thestatus display of the code reader (4) lights up green.

2. The production process can only be started via the START button (1). The buttonand the status display of the plant (3) lights up green.

3. The simulated conveyor belt (7) starts to shift and moves goods (rectangles) inthe direction of the shaping station.

4. When a good passes the simulated light barrier (8), the S7 controller sends acommand frame for image acquisition to the code reader.

5. The code reader takes a picture and analyzes the result.The analysis depends on the program number specification.Program 1:

· Analysis after read error· Analysis after match error

Program 2:· Analysis after read error

6. Once the images have been analyzed, the code reader generates the resultstring:

· Read OK: The result string includes the read code.· Read NOK: The result string includes the error message belonging

to the error that occurred (see step 5).7. The result string is sent to the S7 controller and displayed in the read result field

of the HMI (5).8. The S7 controller analyses the result string. If the string includes an error

message, the entire plant goes to STOP. The status display of the plant (3) andthe STOP button lights up red.If there is no error message in the result string, the goods can go through theshaping process and leave as triangles.

9. The whole process starts automatically again from the beginning.

Note If the plant goes to STOP in step 8, the user can continue the process bymanually entering a code into the read result field (5).

By clicking the START button (1) again, the user can let the process start againfrom the beginning.

The control frames between S7 controller and code reader are transmitted viaPROFINET. These frames control the image acquisition, the change of programand the match string specification. In addition, the read results of the code readerare also read out through it.The SIMATIC HMI access a DB of the S7 controller directly via a S7 connection. Alltags relevant for the HMI interface are stored in this DB.The remote client, the CustomGUI and the diagnostic screens are called in thisapplication via web browser. A HTTP interface has been especially set up in thecode reader for this purpose.The setup support to configure the code reader requires a Java VM and is alsocalled via a web browser. The Java applet communicates with the code reader viaTCP.

Note Remote client, CustomGUI and the diagnostic screens are called on theSIMATIC HMI in this application via web browser.Only the setup support is called on the programming device from web browser,since the SIMATIC HMI is not Java VM capable

3.3 Functionality of user-defined interface

General explanationsThe user-defined interface (CustomGUI) is a web interface that can be freelyadjusted by the user. It can be called via web browser and is stored in a web serverof the code reader. Via the setup support, the CustomGUI can be downloaded oruploaded (“Maintain” > “CustomGUI”). The files have to be stored there in form of aZIP archive.The CustomGUI of this application example is only an adjustment of the exemplaryinterface, supplied with the code reader, in order to demonstrate this CustomGUIon a SIMATIC HMI.The adjustments refer to the restricted display options of the internet browser of theSIMATIC HMI touch panel. The CustomGUI included, consists of HTML and Javascript elements.

InterfaceThe CustomGUI is located on the web server of the code reader as static webpage. In order for the web page or other programs to be able to poll information ofthe code reader, there is a CGI (Common Gateway Interface) on the server pagewhich can be addressed via HTTP commands.

Note A precise description of the CGI is not part of this application.

FunctionsThe setting options have been realized via the user-defined interface in thisapplication:· Information on the code reading device used· Changing camera program· Starting/stopping processing mode· Changing acquisition settings (exposure time, brightness, format, ...)The example interface which is supplied with this application can be called inhttp://<IP address or the reader>/cgui/CGUISample.html.

3.4 Functionality of the remote client

The remote client is only used to load the configuration of the code reader or tosave it.In this application example, the remote client function of the code reading systemMV400 is used by another HTML page stored on the web server of the codereader. The solution introduced here is optimal for HMIs with restricted operatingsystem, since the methods HTTP post and GET are integrated in the HTMLstandard and therefore only require a standard Internet browser.Just as for the CustomGUI, there is a CGI for the remote client function which canbe triggered via HTTP commands.The remote client example which is included supplied with this application can becalled in http://<IP address or the reader>/cgui/POSTSample.html.

Operating the plantTable 6-3

No. Action

1. Place the code under the code reader (for program1: DMC; for program 2: barcode; see chap. 7). Start the plant (1).

2. The conveyor belt moves the goods (rectangle) with the printed data matrix codein the direction of the shaping converter station. If goods pass the light barrier,the image acquisition of the code reader (6) is triggered automatically.

3. The captured image is analyzed and output in the result string (3).4. If there is no error (“Match error” or “Read error”), the goods can pass the

shaping station and leave it as triangles.If an error occurs (match error), the error is displayed instead of the result text (3)and the plant goes to STOP.

5. As long as the plant in ON, the procedure will start again automatically.

Note If an error occurs the plant automatically goes to STOP.
