Webinar Design• Slides will go through the steps of creating a new project in TIA Portal and Studio 5000

• Differences between the two architectures are highlighted

• Webinar assumes a high level of competency in Studio 5000

Webinar Design Part 1 (February 11, 2015)• Create a new project in programming software

• Establish communications to processor

• Configure I/O modules and assign I/O tagnames

• Download to processor

• Go online with processor

• Create other tagnames, structures, user‐defined types, etc.

• Performing “online” edits

Webinar Design Part 2 (March 11, 2015)• Creating functions and function blocks

• Using functions from other projects (libraries)

• Configuring an operator interface

• Configuring a VFD

• Troubleshooting using system diagnostics

• Troubleshooting using traces• PLC to PLC Communications

Projects in Studio 5000 (V24)• Single ACD file

• Single controller per project

• HMIs require separate software package (FT View Studio)

• Drives are integrated into controller

• Limited library support (export and import)

• One project open at a time

Projects in TIA Portal• Multiple files in multiple folders

• Multiple controllers per project

• Multiple HMIs per project

• Multiple drives per project

• Projects can be archived down to a single file for e‐mailing and sharing

• Reference projects allow quick drag‐and‐drop of objects

• Mature library functionality

Hardware Configuration in TIA Portal

Hardware Configuration in Studio 5000• Non‐graphical tree interface

• I/O tagnames tied to module location

• I/O tagnames based on module type

• “Nice” I/O tagnames assigned using aliasing or buffering

• Graphical interface

• I/O addresses auto‐assigned independent of module location

• “Nice” I/O tagnames assigned at module level

TIA Portal Communications

Studio 5000 Communications• BOOTP or DHCP

• Onboard Communication options (USB, RS‐232)

• RSLinx

• Programming station must be on same subnet for Ethernet communications

• Accessible Devices

• Onboard Communication options (Profibus, Profinet)

• No additional software required (i.e. RSLinx)

• Additional IP address added to programming station to allow immediate Ethernet communications

Studio 5000 Communications

Studio 5000 Download• Path set via “Who Active” and RSLinx

• Project compile occurs automatically

• Processor stopped during download

TIA Portal Download• Path set as part of download process

• Project compile occurs automatically

• Processor stopped during download only if hardware configuration has changed

TIA Portal Getting Online

Studio 5000 Getting Online• Path set via “Who Active” and RSLinx

• Offline and Online projects are compared and user is asked either to upload, download, or create new project

• Offline and Online differences are not highlighted without utilizing offline tools.

• Software clearly indicates the online state

• Path set as part of download process

• Offline and Online projects are compared and user is encouraged to rectify differences

• Offline and Online differences are clearly highlighted• Software clearly indicates the online state

TIA Portal Tags

Studio 5000 Tags• Controller Scope or Program Scope

• Alias tags• 40 character limit

• Not case sensitive• No special characters (numbers, letters, and underscores only)

• Tags must be defined in Controller Tags or Program Tags

• All tags are global scope (controller)

• Alias tags (via PLC tags)

• 128 character limit

• Not case sensitive

• Special characters allowed (except quotation marks)• User‐definable tag tables (data blocks and PLC tags) for increased organization
