Introduction

Use of the TP 170A

The TP 170A is the basic touch panel for all SIMATIC S7 CPUs. It is the first touchpanel unit in the SIMATIC HMI product range and is based on the operating systemMicrosoft� Windows� CE.

The TP 170A is suitable for all basic functions. It has an interface which can be usedfor both the MPI and the Profibus-DP. The unit memory is designed for smallerconfigurations. The objects used for a configuration can be buttons, bar graphs,graphics and messages.

Area of use of the TP 170A

The TP 170A has been conceived for machine operation and monitoring. Itprovides a realistic graphical representation of the machine or system to bemonitored. Its area of use includes implementation in machine and apparatusconstruction as well as in the packing and electronics industry.

The high degree of protection (IP65 on the front side) and non-implementation ofmoving storage media, such as hard disks and floppy disks, ensure the TP 170A isalso suitable for use in rough industrial environments and directly on site on therespective machine.

The TP 170A can be installed in switching cabinets and operating consoles.

Due to the fact that the TP 170A is equipped with high performance basichardware and has a minimum installation depth means that it fulfills all therequirements for operation in the vicinity of the machine.

Easy to operate and observe

The TP 170A enables operating statuses and current process values concerning aconnected PLC to be graphically displayed and the relevant machine or system tobe easily monitored and operated. Display and operation of the TP 170A can beadapted optimally for the respective process requirements by using theconfiguration software ProTool/Lite, ProTool and ProTool/Pro CS (fromVersion 5.2).

The TP 170A can be used to:

� control and monitor the process intuitively. Setpoint values or control elementsettings, for instance, can be modified by entering values or touching configuredbuttons;

� display processes, machines and systems graphically;

� visualize operating and alarm messages and process tags, e.g. in output fields,bar graphs or trend curves;

� intervene directly in the operation by means of the touch-sensitive screen.

Introduction


Operating unit configuration (principles)

Graphics, texts and operating and display elements which need to be representedon the operating unit must first be created on a configuration computer (PC or PU)using the configuration software. The configuration computer must be connected tothe operating unit in order to download the project to the operating unit (refer to“Configuration phase” in Figure 1-1).

Once the project has been successfully downloaded, connect the operating unit tothe PLC. The operating unit can then communicate with the PLC and respondaccording to the information configured for running the program in the PLC (refer to“Process control phase” in Figure 1-1).

Release 12/99

4.1 Operating Touch Elements

Operating concept

The screen is used to observe the operating status of the machine or system beingmonitored and, at the same time, to intervene directly in the process runningsimply by touching the buttons and input fields displayed.

Definition

Touch elements are contact–sensitive operating elements provided on the touchpanel screen, such as buttons and input fields. Their operation is basically nodifferent from pressing conventional keys. Touch elements are operated bytouching them lightly with your finger or a suitable object.

Note

Never use pointed or sharp instruments to operate the Touch Panel to preventdamage to the plastic surface of the touch screen.

!Caution

Never touch more than one touch panel screen element at a time. If you do, anunintended action may be initiated.



Operation acknowledgement

As soon as the touch panel detects valid contact with a touch element, it respondsby displaying a visual acknowledgement. An acknowledgment is independent ofcommunication with the PLC. It is not an indication of the required action actuallyhaving been executed.

The type of visual acknowledgement is dependent on the operating elementtouched:

� Buttons

In the case of 3D–effect configurations, visual representation is distinguishedaccording to the statuses touched and untouched. Examples of representationare illustrated below by means of the Status button:

UntouchedTouched

� Input fields

After an input field has been touched, the system keyboard illustrated inFigure 4-1 appears as the operation acknowledgement.

Password protected operating elements

If an operating element is touched which has been assigned with a passwordprotection, without the user having logged in on the operating unit beforehand, asystem message is triggered. The password protected function is not executed.

Further information on this subject is available in the Chapter 5.4.



Release 12/99

4.2 Entering Values

Principles of operation

Input fields are used to enter digits and texts (characters 0 to 9 and A to F). To doso, touch the corresponding field. The system keyboard appears.

After an entry has been made correctly, the system keyboard automaticallydisappears and the entered value is accepted in the input field.

System keyboard

The buttons available for operation on the system keyboard are dependent on thetype of value to be entered. Buttons which are available for operation arehighlighted, and those not available appear simply as empty areas.

4.3 Operating Screens

What is a screen?

Screens visualize the progress of processes and display specified process values.A screen contains logically related process data which the operating unit can bothdisplay and modify by operating the individual values.

Screen partitions

A screen is basically composed of static and dynamic sections. The terms “static”and “dynamic” do not refer to the possibility of dynamically positioning screenpartitions but to the connection to the PLC.

Static partitions, e.g. text and graphics, are not updated by the PLC. Dynamicpartitions, e.g. input and output fields and bars, can be linked to the PLC anddisplay current values constantly read in from the PLC memory. Their connectionto the PLC is established by means of tags.

Screen objects

Various screen elements are used to display and operate a screen:

� Output fields

� Input fields

� Texts

� Graphics

� Status buttons

� Bar graphs

� Message view

A summary of all the screen objects which a TP 170A project may contain isprovided in Chapter 5.


Operation of Screen Objects

This chapter introduces the screen objects which may be contained in aconfiguration and explains their operation. It provides the following information:

� a summary of screen objects (Page 5-2)

� the Status button (from Page 5-3)

� messages (from Page 5-5)

� logging in and out of the operating unit (Page 5-7)

Release 12/99

5.1 Overview of Screen Objects

Table 5-1 Screen objects configurable for the TP 170A

Screen object Use/Description

Output field The output field displays the current value receivedfrom the PLC in numeric or alphanumeric form.

Input field The input field is used to enter values which are thentransferred to the PLC. The characters 0..9 and A..Fare available for input. Entries which lie outside thespecified value range are rejected according to the limitvalues which have been configured.

Input fields can be password protected. Notes on inputare provided on Page 4-4.

Text Text is used during configuration to label operating anddisplay elements, for example. Text can be configuredover several lines and cannot be altered on theoperating unit.

Graphics Graphics can be used in the configuration, e.g. torepresent a system or as an illustrative symbol forconfigured display and operating elements.

Status button A Status button is a display and input element with twodifferent statuses.

Notes on the Status buttons is provided on Page 5-3.

Bar Bars represent values from the PLC as rectangularareas. The operating unit thus provides a clearindication of how far the current value is from the limitvalues, or if a setpoint value has been reached, at aglance. Bars are often used to represent fill levels orworkpiece numbers.

Direction, scaling and labeling the axis can beconfigured as required. In order to identify limit values,limit value lines can be called in.

Message view Special filter criteria for displaying pending messagesare configured in the message view.

Notes on operation are provided on Page 5-6.



5.2 Status Button

Purpose

The Status button is an operating and display element with the two states ON andOFF. Status buttons indicate the status of a device which cannot be determinedfrom the operating unit (e.g. a motor). At the same time, it is also possible tochange the status of the device concerned on the operating unit.

Configurable properties

The behavior of the Status button can be configured:

� Option switch:

The Status button reacts as a toggle switch. Each time it is operated, itswitches to the other status and remains in that status until the button ispressed again.

In addition to the tags, which represent the current switch status, theconfiguration software can be used to define text or graphics for the twostatuses ON and OFF.

� Option push button:

The Status button reacts as a key-in button. When pressed, the Status buttonchanges to the status ON. It remains in this status as long as the Status buttonis pressed. When released, it automatically switches back to OFF.

Event-related initiation

Use the configuration software to assign the Status button one or more functionsand to define which events result in the respective function being triggered. Theevents which can be configured are:

� Changed This function is triggered as soon as the status of the Status button changes.

� OnButtonDown This function is triggered as soon as the Status button changes to the statusON.

� OnButtonUp This function is triggered as soon as the Status button changes to the statusOFF.

If the status of the Status button changes from the type switch due to amodification of the configured variables, none of the described events is triggered.



Release 12/99

Representation

When the Status button is set to switch, the configuration software can be used toassign different text or graphics to indicate the status of the button during runtime.

Figure 5-1 illustrates an example of a Status button when pressed (left) and notpressed (right).

Figure 5-1 The two statuses relate to the Status button when the Switch option is set



5.3 Messages

What are messages?

Messages which appear on the operating unit indicate events and statuses relatedto the control process and operating unit itself. A message can contain text andtags.

The operating unit differentiates between event messages and system messages:

� Event messagesindicate the status in a process, e.g. Motor ON .Event messages are configured. They are triggered when a bit is set in thePLC.

� System Messagesare triggered by the operating unit. They do not have to be configured.System messages indicate incorrect operations or communication faults, forexample. A time period can be considered for system messages in theconfiguration software. This defines how long a system message appears onthe operating unit.

A list of the most important system messages is provided in the Appendix C.

Message events

These messages are triggered according to events. Message events on theTP 170A include:

� Message arrivalA message which has been triggered is considered as having arrived. As soonas message is triggered, it is displayed in the operating unit message displayand is then considered as queued.

� Message departureA message is considered as having departed when its configured time periodhas expired or the event causing the message is no longer present. As soon asa message has departed, it is deleted from the message display.



Release 12/99

Message view

The TP 170A can display up to 16 messages in the message view. If more than 16messages are present simultaneously on the operating unit, the oldest message inthe queue is deleted.

It is possible to define specific views of the messages to be displayed in themessage view. Various filter criteria is available for this in the configurationsoftware.

The following can be configured

� Message categories (event and system messages only)

� Number of columns

� Number of lines per message

� Sorting (oldest or latest message at the top)

� Maximum number of visible messages

The figure illustrates an example of a message view with the configured columns

� Date

� Time

� Message number

12.12.99 14:27:07 140001 K Connection discontinued: Station 2, Rack 0, Slot 0

Synchronize date and time

In order to synchronize the date and time on the operating unit with the PLC, thearea pointer Date/Time PLC must be set up in the project in ProTool/Pro CS.During runtime, the operating unit accesses these data areas in the PLC forreading purposes and synchronizes the date and time in the configured acquisitioncycle with the PLC. This data is provided, for example, in the message timestamps issued in the message display.

Detailed information concerning the area pointers is provided in theProTool Configuring Windows-based Systems user’s guide, in the configurationsoftware online help and in the Communication for Windows-based Systems user’smanual.



5.4 Logging On and Off from the Operating Unit

Purpose

During the configuration, input fields and buttons can be protected againstunauthorized operation by assigning passwords. Important parameters andsettings can then only be modified by authorized personnel. The password isdefined at the moment the element is configured and cannot be modified via theoperating unit.

Logon

If operating elements are to be assigned password protection in the configuration,it must be possible for the operator to log on. In this case, the function Logon_Usermust be linked with an operating element, preferably an input field, in theconfiguration.

In order to access a password protected operating element during runtime, it isnecessary to log on on the operating unit. It is then possible to access all passwordprotected operating elements up to the point of logging off from the operating unit.

Logoff

In order to rule out operation by unauthorized personnel, the logon should notremain active on the operating unit for too long a period of time. The followingoptions are available with which to log off from the operating unit:

� Configured logoff time expiresIf the operating unit is not operated by the user within the configured period(logoff time), he is automatically logged off from the operating unit.

� Log off of the operating unit If the configuration links the function Logoff_User with an operating element,the element can be used log off from the operating unit.

ESD-Guidelines

What does ESD mean?

Virtually all present-day modules incorporate highly integrated MOS devices orcomponents. For technological reasons, these electronic components are verysensitive to overvoltages and consequently therefore to electrostatic discharge:

These devices are referred to in German as Elektrostatisch GefährdetenBauelemente/ Baugruppen: ”EGB”

The more frequent international name is:

”ESD” (Electrostatic Sensitive Device)

The following symbol on plates on cabinets, mounting racks or packages drawsattention to the use of electrostatic sensitive devices and thus to the contactsensitivity of the assemblies concerned:

ESDs may be destroyed by voltages and energies well below the perceptionthreshold of persons. Voltages of this kind occur as soon as a device or anassembly is touched by a person who is not electrostatically discharged . Devicesexposed to such overvoltages cannot immediately be detected as defective in themajority of cases since faulty behavior may occur only after a long period ofoperation.

Precautions against electrostatic discharge

Most plastics are capable of carrying high charges and it is therefore imperativethat they be kept away from sensitive components.

When handling electrostatic sensitive devices, make sure that persons, workplacesand packages are properly grounded.

D

ESD-Guidelines

D-2TP 170A Equipment Manual

Release 12/99

Handling ESD assemblies

A general rule is that assemblies should be touched only when this cannot beavoided owing to the work that has to performed on them. Under no circumstancesshould you handle printed-circuit boards by touching device pins or circuitry.

You should touch devices only if

� you are grounded by permanently wearing an ESD wrist strap or

� you are wearing ESD shoes or ESD shoe-grounding protection straps inconjunction with an ESD floor.

Before you touch an electronic assembly, your body must be discharged. Thesimplest way of doing this is to touch a conductive, grounded object immediatelybeforehand – for example, bare metal parts of a cabinet, water pipe etc.

Assemblies should not be brought into contact with charge-susceptible and highlyinsulating materials such as plastic films, insulating table tops and items of clothingetc. containing synthetic fibers.

Assemblies should be deposited only on conductive surfaces (tables with an ESDcoating, conductive ESD cellular material, ESD bags, ESD shipping containers).

Do not place assemblies near visual display units, monitors or television sets(minimum distance to screen > 10 cm).

Measuring and modifying ESD assemblies

Perform measurements on ESD assemblies only when

� the measuring instrument is grounded – for example, by means of a protectiveconductor – or

� the measuring head has been briefly discharged before measurements aremade with a potential-free measuring instrument – for example, by touching abare metal control cabinet.

When soldering, use only grounded soldering irons.

Shipping ESD assemblies

Always store and ship assemblies and devices in conductive packing – forexample, metallized plastic boxes and tin cans.

If packing is not conductive, assemblies must be conductively wrapped before theyare packed. You can use, for example, conductive foam rubber, ESD bags,domestic aluminum foil or paper (never use plastic bags or foils).

With assemblies containing fitted batteries, make sure that the conductive packingdoes not come into contact with or short-circuit battery connectors. If necessary,cover the connectors beforehand with insulating tape or insulating material.
