1.1 Overview

Introduction

In many companies, energy demand represents a high cost factor where only the total consumption and the total costs are known.

In times of rising energy costs, legal measures and the growing significance of environmentally friendly production processes, energy management becomes increasingly important in production.

In order to ensure efficient energy management (in accordance with ISO 50001), it is therefore necessary to make the specific energy consumption details transparent. Only when the cause is known can countermeasures be introduced and costs be saved.

The SIMATIC Energy Suite (called 'Energy Suite' below) helps you make your production plant's energy consumption transparent. Among other components, measuring and programmable controllers from the Siemens portfolio provide the data required for this purpose.

Overview of the application example

The following figure provides an overview of what a sample automation task could look like.

3 Basics


Aside from measuring devices, programmable controllers additionally provide energy data.

The following figure gives a general overview of how the SIMATIC Energy Suite works.

Figure 3-1

3.1.1 General functions

Acquisition

The Energy Suite cyclically processes energy data. The data is then provided with a time stamp and prepared accordingly using the Energy Suite's function blocks. For the detailed interaction between the Energy Suite blocks and the driver blocks, refer to the "SIMATIC Measurement Hardware for SIMATIC Energy Suite in the TIA Portal" manual. https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109741978/90969966987

Archiving

The Energy Suite archives the acquired data in archiving periods. You can use the predefined archiving periods or create user-defined periods.

Furthermore, you can choose whether to archive the energy data on the S7-1500 CPU's SIMATIC memory card or in a WinCC Professional data log.

For a detailed configuration guide, see Chapter 5.5.

Data export

In order to document the archived energy data, you can export the archived data.

The energy data archived in the data logs on the SIMATIC memory card is saved as a CSV file. For more information about exporting the data, e.g. using a Web server, see Chapter 5.7.1.

The SIMATIC Energy Suite Runtime Toolbox provides a system that enables you to easily export the data log data in WinCC Professional. For the required settings, see Chapter 5.7.2.

Visualization

Another option is to visualize the energy data using HMI operator panels. To this end, sample screens and screen elements are available in Siemens Industry Online Support. Depending on the operator panel used, different functionalities are supported. For more information and a link to the entry in Siemens Industry Online Support, see Chapter 5.6.

3.1.2 Interface to Energy Manager Pro

In a next step, the energy data you have determined with the Energy Suite can be further processed using SIMATIC Energy Manager PRO (successor to SIMATIC B.Data).

Figure 3-2

SIMATIC Energy Manager PRO scope

SIMATIC Energy Manager PRO (called 'Energy Manager Pro' below) is suitable for the company-wide energy analysis at the management level and therefore based on the Energy Suite.

While the Energy Suite provides functions for production-related energy data acquisition, processing and monitoring and simple energy reports, the Energy Manager PRO's tasks relate to commercial energy management. These tasks include, for example:

Calculating key figures and displaying them in dashboards

Advanced reporting/key performance indicators (KPI)

Energy procurement/forecast

5.3.1 Defining archiving periods

General

By default, the following two archiving periods are preconfigured in the Energy Suite:

15-minute periods (typically for acquiring electrical quantities)

60-minute periods (typically for acquiring non-electrical media)

In addition, you can define other user-defined archiving periods.

Furthermore, you have the option to define a synchronization pulse for the individual periods. Especially for electrical measured quantities, this is useful to acquire the energy data at the same interval as the utility.

For other settings for archiving the data, see Chapter 5.5.

Synchronization pulse

5.4.3 Configuring acyclic communication

Basics

Advanced energy data is exchanged between the controller and the measurement hardware through acyclic communication. Before compiling the project and downloading it to the CPU, it is necessary to configure acyclic communication.

Note The number of communication connections for each CPU is limited. Therefore, pay attention to the resources of the CPU used when configuring acyclic communication.

For more information about the resources, refer to the following FAQ: "How do you process asynchronous instructions with the S7-1500?"


Library elements

The "LAcycCom" library included in the Energy Support Library forms the basis for configuring acyclic communication.

Note With the Energy Suite V15, these library elements – except for the "LAcycCom_ResourceManager_Variant" FB – are copied to the CPU's project tree during code generation.

5.4.5 Regenerating an energy program

If you modify or extend an existing energy program, you have to customize your energy objects or add new energy objects. After that, regenerate the energy program as described in Chapters 5.4.1 and 5.4.2.

Note When regenerating the energy program, all blocks and folders of the energy program that has already been generated are deleted and re-referenced/re-instantiated in the background.

When the energy program has been fully generated, you have to reload the software.

Before you generate the energy program, you can select the archiving type. To have a reference period of the archived data, it is first necessary to synchronize the module time.

5.5.1 Synchronizing the time

Note For the time to be correct, regularly check the controller time and adjust it, if necessary. Alternatively, the time can be synchronized using an NTP server. For more information about time synchronization using an NTP server, refer to the WinCC Professional V15 manual: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109755202/106569616907

Before you synchronize the time, make sure that your PG/PC is set to the current time of the respective country.

The following section shows you how to set the time.

To be able to display and archive the energy values in a meaningful way, the CPU time must be synchronized before starting. In this way, you ensure that all the energy data is provided with correct time stamps that can also be compared to the utility's time stamps.

Table 5-17

No. Action

1. Open the CPU and click "Go online".

2. Double-click "Online & diagnostics".

3. In "Functions", open "Set time" (1).

Click "Apply" to apply the PG/PC time to the module (2).

5.5.2 Archiving using the SIMATIC memory card

The following table shows you how to set the SIMATIC memory card as the archiving type.

Table 5-18

No. Action

1. In the project tree, go to "Energy objects" and open the CPU's "Energy program settings".

2. Click "Archiving and Buffering" (1).

In "Archiving type", select "PLC (SIMATIC memory card)" (2).

Note

Number of data logs: The number of buffer DBs corresponds to the number of energy object tables. For newly created projects, the SIMATIC memory card is the default archiving type.

Note The data log's memory size can be calculated according to the following formula: data log (size) = 45 bytes + (number of data records x 190 bytes)

For more detailed information, refer to the "SIMATIC Energy Suite V15" Function Manual, Chapter "Archiving and buffering (S7-CPU)": https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109741977/90835748491

CSV contents

When archiving the energy data on the SIMATIC memory card, the data is saved in text format as a CSV file. During this process, the following parameters are recorded:

Sequence number ("SeqNo")

Tag name ("Tagname")

5.6 HMI visualization of the energy data

Aside from determining and archiving the energy data, HMI visualization of the energy data is another key point. Siemens Industry Online Support provides you with a library and a visualization example with template screens and screen elements that can be downloaded for free.

SIOS additionally provides documentation with detailed step-by-step instructions for connecting the visualization.

The visualization example basically has the following functionalities:

WinCC Basic, Comfort and Advanced

– Visualization of online data and energy data trends in the last archiving period, for example 15 min.

– Visualization of advanced energy data (current, voltage, frequency, …)

WinCC Professional

– Visualization of online data and log data from the WinCC data log

– Visualization of advanced energy data (current, voltage, frequency, …)
