Big changes in small plants - the new graphic HMI devices of the 70 series
The new OP 73 and OP 77 operator panels represent low-cost devices in the class of
graphic HMI devices for first-time user. These devices offer many options ranging from a
fully graphical 3" or 4.5" display unit, to their configuration in WinCC flexible in up to 32
engineering and online languages, including Asian and Cyrillic characters. The new operator
panels are therefore highly suitable for small-scale HMI tasks.
OP 73 and OP 77 replace the text-based OP3 and OP7. Existing OP3/OP7 projects in
WinCC flexible can be migrated to OP73/OP77 projects. The previous engineering work is
thus retained.

WARNING
Unintentional Transfer mode
Ensure that the configuration computer does not inadvertently switch the HMI device to
Transfer mode during ongoing operation. This could cause unintentional actions to be
triggered in the plant.
NOTICE
Transfer mode using MPI/PROFIBUS DP
For MPI/PROFIBUS DP transfer, the bus parameters, for example the MPI/PROFIBUS DP
address of the HMI device, are read from the current project on the HMI device.
The settings for MPI/PROFIBUS DP transfer can be modified. For this, you must first close
the project and then change the settings on the HMI device. Then go back to "Transfer"
mode.
The HMI device uses the new MPI/DP settings until you transfer a new project to it. During
the next transfer of a project to the HMI device, the MPI/DP settings will be overwritten with
the values from the transferred project.
You can thus edit the MPI/DP settings irrespective of the project settings.

Operating modes
Operating modes of the HMI device:
● Offline
● Online
● Transfer
"Offline mode" and "Online mode" can be set on the configuration computer and on the HMI
device. To set these modes on the HMI device, use a corresponding operator control object
of the project.
"Offline" mode
In this mode, there is no communication between the HMI device and PLC. Although the
HMI device can be operated, it cannot exchange data with the PLC.
"Online" mode
In this mode, the HMI device and PLC communicate. You can operate the plant on the HMI
device according to your system configuration.
"Transfer" mode
In this mode, you can transfer a project from the configuration computer to the HMI device or
backup and restore HMI device data, for example.
The following options are available for setting "Transfer" mode on the HMI device:
● When the HMI device starts up
Start "Transfer" mode manually in the HMI device Loader.
● During ongoing operation
Start transfer mode manually within the project using an operator control object. The HMI
device toggles to "Transfer" mode when automatic mode is set and a transfer is initiated
on the configuration computer.
Overview
The table below shows the options for transferring data between the configuration computer
and OP 73, OP 77A and OP 77B.
7.2 Transfer
7.2.1 Overview
Transfer
During transfer, the project is downloaded from the configuration computer to the HMI
device.
The "Transfer" mode can be started manually or automatically on the HMI device.
Transferred data is written directly to the flash memory on the HMI device. The transfer
function uses a data channel you need to configure before you initiate any transfers.
Introduction
You can set "Transfer" mode manually on the HMI device using a configured operator
control object and during ongoing operation.
Requirements
● The *.hmi project is opened in WinCC flexible.
● The HMI device is connected to a configuration computer.
● The data channel is configured on the HMI device.
● The HMI device Loader is opened.
Procedure
Proceed as follows to initiate the transfer:
1. Switch to "Transfer" mode on the HMI device.
2. Proceed as follows on the configuration computer:
– Select the "Project ▶Transfer ▶Transfer Settings" menu command in WinCC flexible.
– Select the HMI device and define the parameters for the connection.
– Start the download with "Transfer".
The configuration computer verifies its connection to the HMI device. If the connection is
not available or is faulty, the configuration computer outputs an alarm. If no
communication error is detected, the project is transferred to the HMI device.
Result
When the transfer is completed successfully, the data can be found on the HMI device. The
transferred project is then started automatically.

Introduction
The HMI device can be automatically switched to "Transfer" mode during runtime as soon as
transfer is started on the configuration computer connected.
Automatic startup is particularly suited for the test phase of a new project since transfer is
completed without interfering with the HMI device.
OP 73 and OP 77A support automatic transfers only via MPI/PROFIBUS DP.
NOTICE
If the automatic transfer has been activated on the HMI device and a transfer is initiated on
the configuration computer, the project currently running is automatically stopped. The HMI
device then automatically switches to "Transfer" mode.
After the commissioning phase, deactivate the automatic transfer so that the HMI device
cannot be inadvertently switched to Transfer mode. The transfer mode can trigger
unintentional actions in the device.
You can set a password in the Loader of the HMI device to restrict access to the transfer
settings and thus avoid unauthorized modifications.
Applies to OP 77B:
The current project can not be closed if there is an active dialog. Close the dialog or cancel
the transfer operation on the configuration computer.
Requirements
● The HMI device is connected to a configuration computer.
● The data channel is configured on the HMI device.
● The automatic transfer is activated in the data channel for the transfer.
● The project is started.
Procedure
Proceed as follows on the configuration computer:
1. Select the "Project ▶Transfer ▶Transfer Settings" menu command in WinCC flexible.
2. Select the HMI device and define the parameters for the connection.
3. Start the download with "Transfer".
The connection to the HMI device is checked. If the connection is not available or
defective, the configuration computer issues the corresponding error message. In the
case of an error-free connection, the HMI device ends the running project and switches to
"Transfer" mode. The selected data is transferred to the HMI device.
Result
When the transfer is completed successfully, the data can be found on the HMI device. The
transferred project is then started automatically.

Introduction
There are two options on the HMI device testing a project:
● Offline testing of the project
Offline testing means that communication between the HMI device and PLC is down
while the test is being carried out.
● Online testing of the project
Online testing means that the HMI device and PLC communicate with each other during
testing.
Perform both tests, starting with the "Offline test", followed by the "Online test".
Note
Applies to OP 77B:
The project can also be debugged on a configuration computer by means of the Simulator.
For detailed information, refer to the "WinCC flexible" user manual and to the WinCC flexible
Online Help.
Testing a project
You should always test the project on the HMI device on which the project will be used.
Procedure
In "Offline" mode, you can test the various project functions on the HMI device without them
being affected by the PLC. PLC tags, therefore, are not updated.
Test the operator control objects and visualization of the project as far as possible without
connecting to the PLC.
Procedure
In "Offline" mode, you can test the various project functions on the HMI device without them
being affected by the PLC. PLC tags are updated in this case.
Test the operator control objects and views of the project.
You should especially test the project objects which require communication with the PLC:
● Alarms
● Screen selection by the PLC or on PLC request.
Applies to OP 77B:
● Recipes
● Print function

Introduction
When the "Enable Upload" check box is set on the configuration computer for transferring a
project, the corresponding compressed source file is included in the transfer operation. This
allows the upload from the HMI device to the configuration computer.
After you uploaded a compressed source file, you can be analyzed and modify the active
project. This is of particular importance when:
● The original configuration computer is not available.
● The project source file is no longer available.
Requirements
Requirements for uploading the project from the HMI:
● The HMI device is connected to a configuration computer.
● The compressed source file of the project must be available on an MMC which is inserted
in the HMI device.
● A project is open in WinCC flexible.
NOTICE
Project ID
The uploaded compressed source file can only be opened in the engineering software if
the following condition is satisfied:
The project ID of the currently used engineering software is higher than or equal to the
project ID of the engineering software used to create the project.
Verifying the source file
There is no check in WinCC flexible or on the HMI device to determine if the project file
on the HMI device and the compressed source file on the MMC belong to the same
project. Only the project file is transferred when the "Enable Upload" check box is
disabled. Any source file on the MMC must therefore belong to a previously transferred
project.
Procedure
Proceed as follows on the configuration computer:
1. In WinCC flexible, select the menu command "Project ▶ Transfer ▶ Communication
Settings".
The "Communication Settings" dialog opens.
2. Select the HMI device type.
3. Select the type of connection between the HMI device and the configuration computer.
4. Set the connection parameters.
5. Select "OK".
Proceed as follows on the HMI device:
1. Select transfer mode from the Loader.
Proceed as follows on the configuration computer:
1. In WinCC, select the menu command "Project ▶ Transfer ▶ Upload".
This initiates the upload.
Result
When all data are uploaded to the configuration computer, the WinCC flexible engineering
software unpacks the compressed file. The uploaded project can now be opened for editing
on the configuration computer. The file is available in *.hmi format

8.1.4.1 Overview
Overview
Operation of a project can be protected by the configuration engineer by implementing a
security system.
The security system of the HMI device is based on authorizations, user groups and users.
If operator control objects protected by a password are operated, the HMI device requests
the entry of a password. A logon screen is displayed in which you enter your user name and
password. After logging in, you can operate the operator control objects for which you have
the necessary authorizations.
The Logon dialog can be set up by the configuration engineer via an individual operator
control object.
In the same way, the configuration engineer can set up an operator control object to log off.
After logging off, objects assigned password protection can no longer be operated; to do so,
log on again.
Additional information on this may be available in your plant documentation.
Users
Each user is assigned to exactly one user group.
Users can be created as follows:
● By the configuration engineer during configuration
● By the administrator on the HMI device
● By a user with user administration authorization on the HMI device
Logoff times
A logoff time is configured in the system for each user. If the time between any two user
actions, e.g, 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.
Passwords
Users can only log on to the HMI device if they are in the list of users and enters their user
name and password. The passwords can be assigned by the configuration engineer, by the
administrator (or by a user who has administration authorization) or by the user himself.
The authorizations of a user after logging on depends on the user group to the user is
assigned.
Additional information on this may be available in your plant documentation.
The user data is encrypted and saved on the HMI device to protect it from loss due to power
failure.
Note
Depending on the transfer settings, changes to the user data is overwritten when the project
is transferred again.
User view
Use the User view to display the users on the HMI device.

Introduction
The HMI device supports multilingual projects. You need to configure a corresponding
operator control object which lets you change the language setting on the HMI device during
runtime. The project always starts with the language set in the previous session.
Requirements
● The relevant project language must be available on the HMI device.
● The language changeover function must be logically linked to a configured operator
control object such as a button.
Selecting a language
You can change project languages at any time. Language-specific objects are immediately
output to the screen in the relevant language when you switch languages.
The following options are available for switching the language:
1. A configured operator control object switches from one project language to the next in a
list.
2. A configured operator control directly sets the desired project language.
Further information on this may be available in your plant documentation.

8.2.4.1 Overview
Overview
Operation of a project can be protected by the configuration engineer by implementing a
security system.
The security system of the HMI device is based on authorizations, user groups and users.
If operator control objects protected by a password are operated, the HMI device requests
the entry of a password. A logon screen is displayed in which you enter your user name and
password. After logging in, you can operate the operator control objects for which you have
the necessary authorizations.
The Logon dialog can be set up by the configuration engineer via an individual operator
control object.
In the same way, the configuration engineer can set up an operator control object to log off.
After logging off, objects assigned password protection can no longer be operated; to do so,
log on again.
Additional information on this may be available in your plant documentation.
Users
Each user is assigned to exactly one user group.
Users can be created as follows:
● By the configuration engineer during configuration
● By the administrator on the HMI device
● By a user with user administration authorization on the HMI device
Logoff times
A logoff time is configured in the system for each user. If the time between any two user
actions, e.g, 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.
Passwords
Users can only log on to the HMI device if they are in the list of users and enters their user
name and password. The passwords can be assigned by the configuration engineer, by the
administrator (or by a user who has administration authorization) or by the user himself.
The authorizations of a user after logging on depends on the user group to the user is
assigned.
Additional information on this may be available in your plant documentation.
The user data is encrypted and saved on the HMI device to protect it from loss due to power
failure.
Note
Depending on the transfer settings, changes to the user data is overwritten when the project
is transferred again.
User view
Use the User view to display the users on the HMI device.

Alarm classes
Alarms are assigned to various alarm classes:
● Error
Alarms in this class must always be acknowledged. Alarms normally indicate critical
errors within the plant such as "Motor temperature too high".
● Warning
Warning alarms usually indicate states of a plant such as "Motor switched on".
● System
System alarms indicate states or events which occur on the HMI device.
● User-specific alarm classes
The properties of this alarm class are defined in the configuration.
● STEP 7 alarm classes (applies to OP 77B)
The alarm classes configured in STEP 7 are also available to the HMI device.

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
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.
Elements
In the figure showing the file cabinet, each suspension folder contains the same number of
sheets. Each sheet in the suspension folder corresponds to an element of the recipe data
record. All the records of a recipe contain the same elements. The records differ, however, in
the value of the individual elements.
Example:
All drinks contain the same components: water, concentrate, sugar and flavoring. The
records for soft drink, fruit juice or nectar differ, however, in the quantity of sugar used in
production.
Overview
If recipes are used in a project, the following components interact:
● HMI device recipe memory
Recipes are saved in the form of data records in the HMI device recipe memory.
The recipe data can also be saved in recipe tags.
● Recipe view / recipe screen
On the HMI device, recipes are displayed and edited in the recipe view or in a recipe
screen.
– The recipe data records from the internal memory of the HMI device are displayed and
edited in the recipe view.
– The values of the recipe tags are displayed and edited in the recipe screen.
Note
The same recipe tags can be configured in a variety of recipes. If you modify the value
of a recipe tag in a recipe, the value of this recipe tag changes in all other recipes.

Procedure
1. Customize the import settings on the user interface of the HMI device.
2. Use the button or the key on the HMI device which is assigned the "Import recipe
records" function.
Result
The recipe data records are imported. If the structure of the CSV file is different from the
recipe structure, deviations are treated as follows:
● Any additional values in the CSV file will be rejected.
● If the CSV file contains values of the wrong data type, the configured default value is set
in the recipe record.
Example:
The CSV file contains values that show the tank contents and were input as floating point
numbers. However, the corresponding recipe tag expects an integer value. In this case,
the system discards the imported value and uses the configured default.
● The system also applies the configured default value to the recipe data record if the CSV
file contains an insufficient number of values.
Scope of maintenance
The HMI device is designed for maintenance-free operation. However, you should clean the
keyboard membrane and the display unit at regular intervals.
Preparation
CAUTION
Faulty operation
Always switch off the HMI device before cleaning it. This will ensure that you do not trigger
unintended functions when you touch the keys.
Use a cloth dampened with a cleaning agent to clean the equipment. Only use water with a
little liquid soap or a screen cleaning foam.
Procedure
Never spray the cleaning agent directly onto the HMI device. Apply it to a cloth. Never use
aggressive solvents or scouring powder.
CAUTION
Do not clean the HMI device with compressed air or steam jet blowers.
Repairs
A defective device must be returned to the manufacturer's site for repair. The HMI device
may only be repaired at the manufacturer's site.

Abbreviation
The following abbreviations are commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices:
● ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
● ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device as common international designation
Labeling
ESD modules are labeled with the following symbol:
Electrostatic charge
CAUTION
Electrostatic charge
ESDs may be destroyed by voltages well below the perception threshold of persons
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 charge of your body before you touch the ESD!
Anyone who is not connected to the electrical potential of their surroundings is subjected to
electrostatic charge.
The figure indicates the maximum electrostatic charge anyone is subjected to when
contacting the materials shown. These values correspond with specifications to IEC 801-2.

① Synthetic materials
② Wool
③ Antistatic materials such as wood or concrete
CAUTION
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
charge.
As a rule, only touch the ESD if this is unavoidable. Example: for maintenance. When you
touch modules, make sure that you do not touch the pins on the modules or the PCB tracks.
This prevents any discharge of static electricity to sensitive component and thus avoids
damage.
Discharge electrostatic electricity from your body if you are performing measurements on an
ESD. To do so, touch a grounded metallic object.
Always use grounded measuring instruments.
Introduction
System alarms on the HMI device provide information about internal states of the HMI device
and PLC.
The overview below shows the causes of system alarms and how to eliminate the cause of
error.
Depending on functionality, only parts of the system alarms described in this section apply to
the various HMI devices.
Note
System alarms are only indicated if an alarm window was configured. System alarms are
output in the language currently set on your HMI device.
Acknowledge
Acknowledging an alarm confirms that you have noted it.
AG
Controller of the SIMATIC S5 series such as the AG S5-115U, for example
Alarm logging
Output of user-specific alarms to a printer, in parallel to their output to the HMI device
screen.
Alarm, acknowledging
Acknowledgement of an alarm confirms that it has been noted.
Alarm, activated
Moment at which an alarm is triggered by the controller or HMI device.
Alarm, deactivated
Moment at which the initiation of an alarm is reset by the controller.
Alarm, user-specific
A user-specific alarm can be assigned to one of the following alarm classes:
● Error
● Warning
● User-specific alarm classes
A user-specific alarm designates a certain operating status of the plant connected to the HMI
device via the controller.
AS
Controller of the SIMATIC S7 series such as a SIMATIC S7-300
AS 511
Protocol of the programming device interface of a SIMATIC S5 controller
Boot loader
Used to start the operating system. Automatically started when the HMI device is switched
on. A start screen appears during startup. After the operating system has been loaded, the
Loader opens.
Configuration computer
General term for programming devices (PGs) and PCs on which plant projects are created
using an engineering software.
Control request
Triggers a function via the controller.
Controller
General term for devices and systems with which the HMI device communicates, e.g.
SIMATIC S7.
Display duration
Defines whether and how long a system alarm is displayed on the HMI device.
EMC
Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of electrical equipment to function properly in its
electromagnetic environment without influencing this environment.
Engineering software
Software for the creation of projects for process visualization – see also project, process
visualization and runtime software
Event
Functions are triggered by defined incoming events. Events can be configured. Events which
can be assigned to a button include "Press" and "Release", for example.
Fault time
Refers to the time interval between an activated and deactivated alarm.
Field
Area reserved in configured screens for the input and output of values.
Flash memory
Non-volatile memory with EEPROM chips, used as mobile storage medium or as memory
module installed permanently on the motherboard.
Hardcopy
Output of the screen content to a printer.
Infotext
Configured information on objects within a project. An alarm infotext, for example, may
contain information on the cause of the fault and troubleshooting routines.
IO field
Enables the input or output of values on the HMI device which are transferred to the
controller.
Notation
System consisting of characters, symbols and rules. In particular used to define the write
format of a programming language in data processing.
Object
Component of a project. Example: screen or alarm. Objects are used to view or enter texts
and values on the HMI device.
Process visualization
Visualization of processes from the areas of production, logistics and services in text-based
and graphics format. Configured plant screens allow operator intervention in active plant
processes by means of the input and output data.
Project
Result of a configuration using an engineering 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 distinguish between the project on the configuration computer and that on an HMI
device. A project may be available in more languages on the configuration computer than
can be managed on the HMI device. The project on the configuration computer can also be
set up for different HMI devices. Only the project set up for a particular HMI device can be
transferred to that HMI device.
Project file
File which is generated based on a source file for a specific HMI device when the
configuration is completed. The project file is transferred to the corresponding HMI device
and is used to operate and monitor plants. Refer to Source file.
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 data record. The use of recipes
ensures that when a data record is downloaded, all the assigned data is transferred
synchronously to the controller.
Runtime software
Process visualization software which can be used to debug a project on a configuration
computer. Also refer to "Project" and "Engineering software".
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 for operating and monitoring the system, e.g. a rectangle, an IO field or a
recipe view.
Softkey
Key on the HMI device which supports user-specific functions. A function is assigned to the
key in the configuration. The assignment of the keys may be specific to an active screen or
not.
Source file
File from which various project files can be created, depending on the configuration. The
source file is not transferred and remains on the configuration computer.
The file name extension of a source file is *.hmi. Refer to Source file, compressed and
Project file.
STEP 7
Programming software SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC C7 and SIMATIC WinAC controllers.
STEP 7 Micro/WIN
Programming software for controllers of the SIMATIC S7-200 series.
Symbolic IO field
Box for the input/output of a parameter. Contains a list of default entries from which one can
be selected.
System alarms
Assigned to the "System" alarm class. A system alarm refers to internal states on the HMI
device and the controller.
Tab order
In the configuration, this sets the sequence in which objects are focused 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 controller or the HMI device. Based on whether the tag is interconnected with the
controller or not, we distinguish between "external" tags (process tags) and "internal" tags.
Transfer
The transfer of an executable project to the HMI device.
"Transfer" mode
HMI device operating mode, set to transfer an executable project from the configuration
computer to the HMI device.
