Overview 1
1.1 Product overview
The second generation of SIMATIC HMI Mobile Panels offers direct mobile operation and
monitoring of the production process. The Mobile Panels 2nd Generation system consists of a
Mobile Panel, connection box and connecting cable.
The Mobile Panels 2nd Generation is available with display sizes 4", 7" and 9" widescreen.
The figure below shows a fail-safe Mobile Panel with a 7" widescreen display connected to a
connection box advanced.
Depending on the application, either non-fail-safe or fail-safe Mobile Panels can be used. With
a fail-safe Mobile Panel, you run the plant in fail-safe mode. You meet the requirements of
Safety Integrity Level 3 and Performance Level PL e with a fail-safe Mobile Panel. An
emergency stop / stop switch and an enabling button are integrated in a fail-safe Mobile
Panel 2nd Generation. You can hardwire the safety-related operator controls or evaluate
them in a PROFIsafe-based F-system with a fail-safe controller.
The 7" and 9" devices come equipped with a keyswitch as additional option for protecting the
HMI device from unauthorized access.
You can choose from three connection boxes each with a different range of functions. The
connection box compact is designed for installation in control cabinets. The connection box
standard and connection box advanced are approved for external mounting directly on the
machine.

Overview
1.2 Design of the Mobile Panels
The device is designed for industrial use:

• High fall resistance
• High protection class
• High impact resistance
• High chemical resistance to operating and cleaning agents
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/39718396).
The enclosure type protects the emergency stop / stop button. Two protective bumpers to
prevent damage to the emergency stop / stop button during a fall of the HMI device.
All Mobile Panels can be configured with the WinCC software. WinCC is a component of the
"Totally Integrated Automation Portal" engineering framework.

The Mobile Panels 2nd Generation are available in the following device versions:
Number Illuminated Emergency stop / stop button, Keyswitch

SIMATIC HMI of function keys pushbutton acknowledgment button
KTP400F Mobile 4 2 Yes No
KTP700 Mobile 8 2 No No
KTP700F Mobile 8 2 Yes Yes
KTP900 Mobile 10 2 No No
KTP900F Mobile 10 2 Yes Yes
Note
System components
To operate a Mobile Panel, you need:
• An HMI device
• A connecting cable (Page 17)
• At least one connection box (Page 18)
• For hardwired F-systems: A safety relay (Page 23) or suitable F-DI modules.

1.8 Terms for fail-safe operation

This section defines terms relating to fail-safe operation with a fail-safe HMI device.
You can find additional information on the topic of "Safety" in the following document:
"SIMATIC Safety - Configuring and Programming" programming and operating manual
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/54110126)
Fail-safe automation system, F system

A fail-safe automation system is required in a plant with high safety requirements. An F-
system is characterized by the following features:
• Safety-related shutdown response of the system after the triggering of a stop or
emergency stop via a safety-related operator control.
• The confirmation of machine movements entailing danger via an enabling mechanism.
The following F-systems iIn conjunction with a fail-safe Mobile Panel are distinguished in this
document:
• Hardwired F-system: The safety-related operator controls are wired to a safety relay. If one
of the safety-related operator controls is activated, the safety relay triggers the safe state
or confirms a machine movement entailing danger in the F-system via the enabing
button.
• PROFIsafe-based F-system: The signals of the safety-related operator controls are
transmitted to the F-system via PROFIsafe.
Safety-related devices with fail-safe controllers communicate with PROFIsafe via PROFINET
to enable these devices to be used in fail-safe automation systems up to SIL3. PROFIsafe
implements safety-related communication with a special user data format and a special
protocol. PROFIsafe is specified for PROFINET in the standard IEC 61784-3.
Safe operating state

If an unexpected event occurs during plant operation that poses a risk to persons or
equipment, the plant must respond with a defined safety shutdown. Protection of personnel
against physical injury can only be ensured if intervention in manufacturing processes, for
example during retrofitting or troubleshooting, is safe and secure.
Based on the risk analysis, the safety shutdown and therefore the shutdown response of the
plant must therefore be configured to ensure that the plant or plant area can be switched to
a safe operating state in the event of a risk.
In addition to the qualitative risk analysis required, the machine operator also has an
obligation to make a quantitative assessment of potential hazards. On this basis, the operator
must then establish what risks could arise during plant or plant area operation and whether
the relevant safety functions are sufficiently effective for the hazard in question.
The safe operating state is assigned to the fail-safe controller by a safety program. The plant
constructor is responsible for the required configuration which should be described in the
plant documentation.

Overview
Safety-related operator controls

A fail-safe Mobile Panel comes equipped with the two safety-related operator controls
"Emergency stop / stop button" and "Acknowledgment button". All other operator controls are
not safety-related operator controls.
Fail-safe operation
In a hardwired or PROFIsafe-based F-system, you operate the plant or a plant section in fail-
safe mode. In fail-safe mode, the safety-related operator controls emergency stop/stop
button and enabling buttons are active.
• For a hardwired F-system: Fail-safe mode runs via a fixed connection with a safety relay.
• In a PROFIsafe-based F-system: The HMI device in fail-safe mode detects the signals of the
"emergency stop / stop button" and "enabling button" safety-related operator controls;
communication with the F-system is performed via PROFIsafe.
When configuring the safety functions with the STEP 7 Safety Advanced optional package,
fail-safe operation according to SIL 3 or Performance Level e and Category 4 is possible
with an HMI device of the type KTPx00F Mobile.
The safety-related operator controls can be configured as fail-safe inputs in the safety
program.
Emergency stop, stop

The operator presses the emergency stop / stop button to activate either an emergency stop
or a stop.
• The emergency stop is an emergency action that is intended to stop a process or
movement entailing danger. All machines that are assigned to the trigger are immediately
brought to a safe state via the emergency stop.
• The emergency stop / stop button of the HMI device brings about a safety-related stop of
the plant or machine in accordance with EN 60204-1, Section 9.2.5.3.
Whether the emergency stop / stop button causes an "emergency stop" or "stop" function
must be decided upon and configured on the basis of the risk assessment.

Overview
Safety-related operating mode

In fail-safe mode, you can use the HMI device in combination with a connection box in one of
the following operating modes:
• Stop button evaluated by safety relay
This operating mode is intended for a hardwired F-system. The signals of the safety-
related operator controls are wired to a safety relay. If you press the emergency stop / stop
button, the plant typically responds with a stop.
The emergency stop / stop button does not light up.
In this operating mode, the emergency stop / stop button is called the stop button.
• E-stop button evaluated by safety relay
This operating mode is intended for a hardwired F-system. The signals of the safety-
related operator controls are wired to a safety relay. When you press the emergency stop /
stop button, the plant responds with an emergency stop.
The emergency stop / stop button lights up when active.
In this operating mode, the emergency stop / stop button is called the emergency stop
button.
• E-stop button evaluated by PROFIsafe
This operating mode is intended for a PROFIsafe-based F-system. If you press the
emergency stop / stop button, an emergency stop is triggered in the plant.
The emergency stop / stop button lights up when active, that is, if the HMI device has
been registered in the safety program.
In this operating mode, the emergency stop / stop button is called the emergency stop
button.
Emergency stop / stop bypass

The emergency stop / stop bypass is a function of the connection box advanced for hardwired
F-systems.
The function ensures that no stop or emergency stop will be triggered in the plant when
reconnecting the Mobile Panel to another connection box.
PROFIsafe communication, logon and logoff in the safety program

The following applies in a PROFIsafe-based F-system for the logon and logoff of the fail-safe
Mobile Panel to a safety program:
Mobile Panel logon

If you have connected the fail-safe HMI device with a connection box and started the HMI
project, the HMI device is automatically logged onto the safety program. After logon, the fail-
safe HMI device is integrated into PROFIsafe communication and the emergency stop button
and enabling button become active.
Mobile Panel logoff

Before disconnecting the fail-safe HMI device from a connection box, you must log off the
HMI device using an appropriate operator control of the safety program or close the current

Overview
1.9 Organizational measures
project. Logoff must be confirmed in a dialog. When you log off, the HMI device is removed
from PROFIsafe communication. After logging off, the emergency stop button and enabling
button are no longer active. You can therefore disconnect the HMI device from the
connection box.
For the HMI devices KTP700F Mobile and KTP900F Mobile: If you logged off the HMI device
without closing the project from the safety program, the project remains active on the HMI
device for the duration of the backup time and you can plug the HMI device into another
connection box. After plugging into another connection box and automatic logon to the
safety program, you can continue working with the current project in fail-safe mode.
If you disconnect the fail-safe Mobile Panel without logging off the connection box, a
PROFIsafe communication error occurs and the plant goes into safe operating mode
according to the configured shutdown behavior.
Connection point recognition

The connection point recognition is a function that you can configure for connection boxes.
Once you have configured connection point recognition, you can determine the plant area in
which an HMI device is connected and the connection box used for this. This provides the
following functions, for example:
• Display of screens on the HMI device for specific plant areas
• Emergency stop / stop for specific plant areas
1.9 Organizational measures
Measures
If you are using a fail-safe Mobile Panel in a fail-safe system, you must consider the following
organizational measures:
• Install stationary emergency stop or emergency off buttons in the plant that are effective
independent of the Mobile Panel.
• Perform a risk assessment of the plant.
• If the overall plant is not to be monitored from a single location, configure plant areas.
• Select the same operating mode for all connection boxes in a contiguous plant area.
• Create a safety program.
• Run an acceptance test on the fail-safe automation system.

Safety instructions 2
2.1 General safety instructions
The device is designed for operation in industrial areas for operator control and monitoring of
plant processes.
WARNING
Personal injury or material damage due to non-compliance with safety regulations
Failure to exactly comply with the safety regulations and procedures in this document can
result in hazards and disable safety functions. This can result in personal injuries or material
damage.
Closely follow closely the safety regulations and procedural instructions in each situation.
Observe the safety and accident prevention regulations applicable to your application in
addition to the safety instructions given in this document.
Safety during configuration and operational safety of the plant
WARNING
Personal injury or material damage due to improper configuration of the plant
The configuration engineer for plant control must take precautions to ensure that an
interrupted program will be correctly integrated again after communication failures, voltage
dips or power outages.
A dangerous operating state must not be allowed to occur - not even temporarily - during
the entire execution of the control program, even during a troubleshooting.

Safety instructions
WARNING
Programming startup protection in the safety program
At a STOP/RUN transition of an F-CPU, the standard user program starts up as usual. When
the safety program starts up, all FDBs are initialized with values from the load memory,
same as during a cold restart. As a result, saved error information is lost. The F-system
performs an automatic reintegration of the F-I/O. A startup of the safety program with
values from the load memory can also be initiated by a handling error or an internal error. If
the process does not permit this, a (re)start protection must be programmed in the safety
program. The output of process values must be disabled until manually enabled; this must
not occur until the process values can be output without posing a hazard and errors have
been eliminated.
NOTICE
Exclusive operating right
Operating the plant with multiple HMI devices simultaneously can cause material damage.
Prevent simultaneous operation of the plant from multiple devices by configuring the
assignment of operating rights to only one HMI device.
Parameter assignment fail-safe Mobile Panels
WARNING
Personal injury or material damage with different operating modes in a plant area
If you assign different operating modes to the connection boxes in a contiguous plant area,
the emergency stop / stop button may light at one of the connection boxes but not at
another. When the emergency stop / stop button does not light up, it is not apparent to the
operator if the safety-related operator controls are active or not. This can result in personal
injury or material damage due to maloperation.
Only configure a single operating mode for multiple connection boxes in a contiguous plant
area.
WARNING
Do not activate Telnet service on fail-safe Mobile Panel
Remote access to a fail-safe Mobile Panel via Telnet is not permissible, because
undetectable, dangerous functions may be triggered through this access. This can result in
personal injury or property damage.
Do not activate Telnet service on a fail-safe Mobile Panel. The default setting is
"deactivated".

Safety instructions
Operational safety in the plant
WARNING
Short-term PROFINET IO interruptions possible when using protocols with alternative

observed. Suitable measures for achieving these limits for use in a mixed area, for example,
include the use of filters in power supply lines.
Individual acceptance is required.

Safety instructions
2.5 Risk assessment of the plant
Use in residential areas
Note
HMI device not intended for use in residential area
The HMI device is not intended for use in residential areas. Operation of an HMI device in
residential areas can have a negative influence on radio or TV reception.
2.5 Risk assessment of the plant
Note
Risk assessment in an F-system is always required
A risk assessment must be performed for each F-system. The responsibility lies with the
operator of the plant.
The following rules apply to the risk assessment of the plant:

• EN ISO 12100:2010, Safety of machinery – General principles for design of machinery –
Risk assessment and risk reduction
• ISO 13849-1, Safety of machinery - Safety-related parts of control systems - General
principles for design
The results of the risk assessment leads to the Performance Levels a to e in accordance with
ISO 13849-1, which indicates how the safety-related system components must be designed if
the stop or emergency stop functions are needed locally in a plant segment or globally
throughout the plant and which operating mode is to be used for the HMI devices in a safety-
related plant area.
In this context, also note the section
"Reaction times and safety characteristics for fail-safe operation (Page 239)".
Take the plant configuration as a whole into consideration in the risk assessment and not just
the individual areas. Additional information on risk assessment and risk reduction is available
at:
"Safety Technology in SIMATIC S7" system manual

Safety instructions
2.6 Important information on emergency stop / stop button
2.6 Important information on emergency stop / stop button
WARNING
Emergency stop / stop button disabled when HMI device is not connected
When the fail-safe Mobile Panel is not connected to the connection box, an emergency stop
or stop cannot be triggered with the HMI device.
Install a stationary emergency stop or stop button that will be available at all times on the F-
system.
WARNING
Stop functions of Category 0 or 1 according to EN 60204-1
If a category 0 or 1 stop circuit is implemented, the stop function must be effective
regardless of the operating mode. A category 0 stop must take precedence. Releasing the
emergency stop / stop button must not lead to any dangerous state (see also EN 60204-1,
Section 9.2.5.3).
The stop function is not to be used as a replacement for safety equipment.
Hardwired F-system
The emergency stop / stop button can trigger a safe machine stop or be looped into the
safety circuit of the F-system based on the configuration of the F-system. The signals of the
emergency stop / stop button are wired differently in the connection boxes:
• For connection box compact and connection box standard: When the fail-safe Mobile
Panel is not connected, the safety circuit is open.
• For the connection box advanced: When the fail-safe Mobile Panel is not connected, the
connection of the safety circuit is bypassed and thus closed.
NOTICE
Emergency stop / stop bypass only works with fail-safe operator panel
If you use a non-fail-safe HMI device with the connection box advanced and remove it
from the connection box advanced, the safety circuit is opened and the relevant plant
section or the plant goes into a safe state.
Only use fail-safe Mobile Panels in conjunction with the connection box advanced in an
F-system with emergency stop / stop bypass.

Safety instructions
2.7 Important notes for the enabling mechanism
NOTICE
Versions of the connection box
If you install connection boxes with and without emergency stop / stop bypass in your
fail-safe automation system, there is a risk that an accidental shutdown is triggered when
replugging an HMI device.
In a fail-safe automation system, you should therefore only use "compact" and "standard"
connection boxes together or "advanced" boxes only.
PROFIsafe-based F-system
Regardless of the type of the connection box, a fail-safe Mobile Panel must be logged off
from the safety program before removing the plug of the connecting cable from the
connection box. No accidental disconnection can be triggered if these instructions are
followed.

In a numerically controlled plant, "setup mode" requires an enabling mechanism. The
enabling mechanism consists of the enabling button installed on the HMI device and the
corresponding logic in the HMI device.
The operating modes relevant for the enabling mechanism are:
• Setup mode
In setup mode, safety has to be ensured in a different way than in automatic mode.
During setup mode, personnel enter danger zones of the plant in which controlled
movements must be possible.
Movements must be executed with reduced speed in setup mode in line with the risk
assessment of the plant. Movement of plant parts should only be possible when the
enabling mechanism is activated. Operators must have been trained accordingly and have
detailed knowledge of the intended use.
• Process monitoring in manufacturing
This operation mode is used for processing complex workpieces, for example, or in cases
when parts of the workpiece cannot be inspected. This operating mode allows additional
manual intervention in line with DIN EN 13128 "Safety of machine tools - Milling and
boring machines". Unlike in automatic mode, the user is able to monitor and control the
processing process with open separating protective devices.

Safety instructions
Safety instructions
WARNING
Injury or material damage
Enabling buttons should only be used when the following applies for the person activating
the enabling button:
• The person can see the danger zone.
• The person is capable of recognizing personal injury hazards in good time.
• The person is capable of taking immediate measures to avoid danger.
The only person allowed to remain in the danger zone is the person who is activating the
enabling button.
WARNING
Injury or material damage
If you trigger a command for a hazardous operating state with the enabling button only,
there is a risk of injury or material damage.
A hazardous operating state requires a second, specific operation with another key on the
HMI device. Consider this during configuration.
NOTICE
Enabling button must not be fixed
Fixing the enabling button in one of its positions can cause malfunctions in the fail-safe
automation system.
Make sure that the enabling button is not being held permanently in any of its positions.
Note
The enabling button is effective when the HMI device is connected to a connection box. The
following applies:
• "E-stop button evaluated by PROFIsafe" operating mode
The PROFIsafe-based F-system is configured so that the "Enabling" function is active, see
section Configuring F-FBs in STEP 7 (Page 174). The HMI device is logged onto PROFIsafe
and the emergency stop / stop button is lit.
• "E-stop button evaluated by safety relay" operating mode
The emergency stop button is lit.
• "Stop button evaluated by safety relay" operating mode
The emergency stop / stop button is not lit with this operating mode.

Safety instructions
Note
Information on discrepancy errors
The enabling button has two channels. Both channels must be activated at the same time for
the "enable" and "panic" switch positions. If only one channel is activated, a discrepancy error
occurs and "enabling" is no longer possible. To reactivate "enabling", press the enabling
button once completely into the "panic" position and then release it.

3.6.3 Equipotential bonding of connection boxes
Potential differences
Differences in potential between separated plant components can lead to high equalizing
currents over the data cables, destroying the circuits. This situation may arise if the cable
shielding is terminated at both ends and grounded at different system parts.
Differences in potential can also be caused by different mains supplies.
General requirements for equipotential bonding

Differences in potential must be reduced far enough with equipotential bonding conductors
to ensure error-free operation of the relevant electronic components. The following
information must therefore be observed when installing the equipotential bonding:
• The effectiveness of equipotential bonding increases as the impedance of the
equipotential bonding conductor decreases or as its cross-section increases.
• If two plant sections are interconnected by means of shielded data cables and their
shielding is connected at both ends to the grounding/protective conductor, the
impedance of the additionally installed equipotential bonding conductor must not exceed
10% of the shielding impedance.
• The cross-section of a selected equipotential bonding conductor must be capable of
handling the maximum equalizing current.
Equipotential bonding cables are required between two control cabinets with a minimum
conductor cross-section of 16 mm².
• Use equipotential bonding conductors made of copper or galvanized steel. Connect the
equipotential bonding conductors to the ground / protective conductor over a wide area.
Protect the equipotential bonding conductors against corrosion.
• Clamp the shielding of the data cable on the HMI device flush and near the equipotential
busbar using suitable cable clamps.
• Route the equipotential bonding conductor and data cables in parallel with minimum
clearance between them.
Note
Cable shielding is not suitable for equipotential bonding. Always use the prescribed
equipotential bonding conductors. When installing PROFINET networks, always use cables
with a sufficient cross-section. Otherwise, there is a risk that interface components will be
damaged or destroyed.

5.13.1 Overview
You can use this function to configure the HMI device for data communication in a PROFINET
network via the Ethernet port.
Note
The HMI device has client functionality in the local network. This means that users can access
files of a node with TCP/IP server functionality from the HMI device via the local network.
However, you cannot access data on the HMI device from a PC via the local network, for
example.
A PROFINET network is required for PROFINET IO or PROFIsafe.
Information on communication with SIMATIC S7 over PROFINET is available at:

SIMATIC PROFINET system description
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/us/en/view/19292127)

all)".

6.2 Configuring F-FBs in STEP 7

This section applies only to fail-safe Mobile Panels in a PROFIsafe-based F-system. This section
describes the configuration using an example of an S7-300F-type controller. Other
compatible fail-safe controllers are configured in the same way.
Requirement
• Fail-safe mode has been configured as described in the section
"Configuring a fail-safe Mobile Panel (Page 170)".
• The PROFIsafe address has been set as described in the section
"Setting the PROFIsafe address (Page 129)".
Procedure
1. Under the fail-safe controller in the device view, select
"Safety Administration > F-runtime group 1 [RTG1]".
2. Set the maximum cycle time at the point indicated. A higher cycle time can improve the
stability of the PROFIsafe communication. The F-FBs for the Mobile Panel are placed in the
"Main safety block" FB in the following steps. A data block for group communication can be
optionally selected under "I-DB for main safety block".
3. Double-click on "Program blocks > Main_Safety_RTG_1 [FB1]" under the fail-safe controller.
4. Select "Communication > Failsafe HMI Mobile Panels > -- KTP_Mobile --" to the right in the
instruction window.

5. Insert F_FB_KTP_Mobile in Network 1.
The name of the instance DB, which includes the number of F-input address, is displayed
above F_FB_KTP_Mobile.
Note
A F_FB_KTP_Mobile is required for each fail-safe Mobile Panel.
The signals of the HMI device are wired to the F_FB_KTP_Mobile in the following step.
6. Click in the "false" value of the QBAD input. Select the "F00126_HMI_1.QBAD" signal of the
HMI device using the selection button next to the text box.
Interconnect the following inputs and outputs in similar fashion:

– ACK_REQ and the ACK_REI output to the acknowledgment signals of the HMI device
with the same name.

– Interconnect the MP_DATA input with the F-input address and the MP_DATA_Q output
with the F-output address of the HMI device. You can find the corresponding addresses
in the device configuration of the HMI device under "PROFINET interface [X1] >
Operating mode > I-device communication". Click on the "false" text next to the
corresponding input or output and, for our example, use the keyboard to enter:
- MP_DATA: "IW126"
- MP_DATA_Q: "QW126"
The user data are transferred via the MP_DATA input and the MP_DATA_Q output.
Note
If you are using the F_FB_KTP_Mobile with F_FB version <2.0 in combination with a
controller of the type S7-1500F, you must change the data type of the automatically
generated PLC tags at input MP_DATA and output MP_DATA_Q from "Word" to "Int" in
the PLC tag table. The default names "Tag_1" and "Tag_2" were used for the PLC tags in
this example.
This interconnects the F_FB_KTP_Mobile with the HMI device. To operate the HMI device
with the emergency stop and enabling functions on one or more connection boxes, for
each connection box you need an F_FB_KTP_RNG that is connected to the
F_FB_KTP_Mobile.
Note
If you do not need the "Enabling" function and only want to configure a global emergency
stop, you do not need an F_FB_KTP_RNG. In this case, use the "GLOBAL_E_STOP" output of
the F_FB_KTP_Mobile in your safety program.
If you are configuring multiple connection boxes with and without F_FB_KTP_RNG in
mixed operation, you must evaluate output "GLOBAL_E_STOP" of F_FB_KTP_Mobile and
output "E_STOP" of all utilized F_FB_KTP_RNG blocks.
The following procedure describes:

– Creation of an F-data block for caching the input signals for the enabling button and
emergency stop / stop button. Caching is needed if you want to operate an HMI device
with multiple connection boxes.
Note
Alternatively, you can use the static data area of the block that calls the
F_FB_KTP_Mobile and F_FB_KTP_RNG blocks in the safety program. The calling block
can be the "MAIN safety block" or any other user block, see also the figure for step 1.
– Configuration of the connection between F_FB_KTP_Mobile and F_FB_KTP_RNG via the

F-data block.

7. Double-click "Program blocks > Add new block" under the fail-safe controller.
8. Select the "DB data block" icon, select the "Create F-block" check box, assign a name
("Data_block_1" in the example) and confirm with "OK".
9. Create the two tags "E_STOP" and "ENABLE" of the "Word" data type within the F-data block.
10.Select "Communication > Failsafe HMI Mobile Panels > -- KTP_Mobile --" to the right in the
instruction window.
11.Insert F_FB_KTP_RNG in Network 2.

12.Interconnect the MP_E_STOP and MP_ENABLE outputs of the F_FB_KTP_Mobile via the F-
data block ("Data_block_1" in the example) to the F_FB_KTP_RNG, as shown in the figure
below.
Do the same for the following application scenarios:

– Interconnect a connection box to F_FB_KTP_RNG via the ID input.
– Interconnect a second HMI device to F_FB_KTP_RNG via MP2_E_STOP and
MP2_ENABLE.
– Cascade multiple F_FB_KTP_RNG to operate an HMI device on multiple connection
boxes.
You can find additional information about these applications as well as the function blocks
F_FB_KTP_Mobile and F_FB_KTP_RNG in the following section:
"Mobile Panel 2nd Generation F-FBs (Page 259)".

6.3 Configuring plant areas in WinCC
13.Compile the project by right-clicking the fail-safe controller and selecting the following
shortcut menu commands in sequence:
– "Compile > Hardware (rebuild all)"
– "Compile > Software (compile all blocks)"
You can transfer the project to the fail-safe controller and the HMI device.

6.3.1 Overview
If you use multiple connection boxes in several plant areas, you can use connection point
recognition to determine the connection box used to connect an HMI device and the plant
area in which it is located. This provides the following functions, for example:
• Display of screens on the HMI device for specific plant areas
• Emergency stop or stop for fail-safe Mobile Panels in specific plant areas in an F-system.
This section describes how to configure a connection point recognition and screens for
specific plant areas.

6.4 Additional configuration options in WinCC
6.4.1 Configuring function and direct keys

Configure the following operator controls for the Mobile Panel based on a plant and plant
area:
• Function keys
Configure the function keys as required so that you can use operator controls such as the
message display, trend view, recipe view and Status/Force.
The function assigned locally to a function key may vary from screen to screen. A function
key can only be assigned one function within a screen, either a global or local one. The
local assignment function takes priority over the global setting.
• Direct keys
The following objects can be configured as direct keys:
– Buttons
– Function key
– Screen number
When screen numbers are used, the configuration engineer can configure direct keys
on a screen-specific basis.
Note
• You can only use direct keys if there is a connection over PROFINET IO.
• Direct keys create an additional base load for the HMI device.
You can find additional information about configuring in the online help of WinCC (TIA Portal)
under "Visualizing processes > Communicating with PLCs".
6.4.2 Setting the transfer mode

If you do not only want to start transfer from the Mobile Panel, you can configure a specific
operating element. Configure the "SetDeviceMode> Load" system function for an event of an
operator control, for example, for a button. If required, configure the corresponding data
channel on the configuration PC.
You can find more information on this topic in the online help of WinCC (TIA Portal).
6.4.3 Changing the operating mode

You can configure an operating element to allow you to change the operating mode on the
HMI device during runtime. Configure the "SetDeviceMode" system function for an event of
an operator control, for example, for a button. The following operating modes are available:
"Online", "Offline", "Load". The "Load" operating mode in the configuration software
corresponds to the "Transfer" mode on the HMI device.
If required, configure the corresponding data channel on the configuration PC.
You can find more information on this topic in the online help of WinCC (TIA Portal).

Commissioning a project 7
7.1 Overview
Configuration phase
A project – the process image of the working process – is produced during configuration to
visualize automated working processes. The process displays for the project contain displays
for values and messages which provide information about process statuses. The process
control phase follows the configuration phase.
Process control phase

The project must be transferred to the HMI device if it is to be used in process control.
Another requirement for process control is that the HMI device is connected online to a
controller. Current working processes - operating and observing - can then be subject to
process control.
Commissioning and recommissioning

Initial and re-start-ups differ in the following respects:
• When the HMI device is commissioned there is no project at first.
The HMI device is also in this state after the operating system has been updated.
• When recommissioning, any project already on the HMI device is replaced.
Operating modes
The HMI device may be in the following operating modes:
• Offline
• Online
• Transfer
"Offline mode" and "Online mode" can be set on both the configuration PC and the HMI
device if a corresponding operating element has been configured.
"Offline" operating 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.

Commissioning a project
7.2 Using existing projects
"Online" operating mode

In this mode, the HMI device and PLC communicate. You can operate the plant with the HMI
device in accordance with the configuration.
"Transfer" mode
In this mode, you can transfer a project from the configuration PC 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 Start Center.
• During operation
Start the "Transfer" mode manually within the project using an operating element. The
HMI device toggles to "Transfer" mode during automatic transfer if a transfer is initiated
on the configuration PC.
7.2 Using existing projects

To use existing projects on your HMI device, proceed as follows:
• To use an existing WinCC flexible project in WinCC, you need to migrate the project to
WinCC.
• If you are using an existing WinCC project that was created for a different HMI device,
switch to that HMI device in WinCC.
You can find additional information on migration in the online help of WinCC (TIA Portal).
7.3 Data Transmission Options

The table below shows the possible routes for data transmission between the HMI device and
configuration PC.

7.4 Transferring a project with WinCC
7.4.1 Configuring data channel and setting transfer mode
Requirement
• The project on the HMI device is complete.
Procedure
1. Proceed as described in the section "Configuring transfer (Page 109)".
2. Set the operating mode "Transfer" in the "Start Center".
7.4.2 Starting the transfer

For a project to run on the HMI device, the project must be transferred to the HMI device
from the configuration PC. With a transfer, you particularly specify whether to overwrite
existing data on the HMI device such as "User management" or "Recipe data".
Note
• You can transfer a single project using the configuration software or using Pack&Go . On
HMI devices with an HMI device image that is compatible with WinCC (TIA Portal) V14 or
higher, you can also transfer an individual project using an external storage medium.
• With automatic transfer, the HMI device only switches to "Transfer" mode automatically if
the project is running on the HMI device.
• If automatic transfer is activated on the HMI device and a transfer is initiated on the
configuration PC, the project currently running is automatically closed.
Automatic transfer
Automatic transfer is particularly suited for the test phase of a new project because transfer is
remote controlled. When automatic transfer is activated, the HMI device automatically
switches to "Transfer" mode as soon as a project transfer is started on a connected
configuration PC.

Requirement
• The project to be transferred has been opened in WinCC.
• The project tree is displayed.
• The configuration PC is connected to the HMI device.
• Transfer mode is set on the HMI device.
Procedure
1. Select the "Download to device > Software" command in the shortcut menu of the HMI
device.
2. When the "Extended download to device" dialog opens, configure the "Transfer settings".
Make sure that the "Transfer settings" match the "Transfer settings on the HMI device":
– Select the "Ethernet" protocol.
With Ethernet or PROFINET you can also configure the network address in the "Devices
& Networks" editor in WinCC. You can find more information on this topic in the online
help of WinCC (TIA Portal).
– Configure the corresponding interface parameters on the configuration PC.
– Make the specific interface or protocol settings on the HMI device as required.
– Click "Download".
You can open the "Extended download to device" dialog at any time using the menu
command "Online > Extended download to device…".
The "Load Preview" dialog opens. The project is compiled at the same time. The result is
displayed in the "Load Preview" dialog.
3. Check the displayed default settings and change them, if necessary.
4. Click "Download".
The project is transferred to the selected HMI device. If errors or warnings occur during the
transfer, alarms are displayed in the Inspector window under "Info> Download".
When the transfer is completed successfully, the project is executable on the HMI device.
NOTICE
Deactivating automatic transfer
If you do not deactivate automatic transfer after the commissioning phase, the HMI device
can be inadvertently switched to transfer mode. The transfer mode can trigger
unintentional reactions in the system.
Deactivate automatic transfer and lock access to the transfer settings. Assign a password in
the Control Panel. This locks access to the "Transfer Settings" dialog and prevents
unauthorized changes.

7.4.3 Testing a project

The options for testing a project are as follows:
• Test the project on the configuration PC
You can test a project on a configuration PC, using a simulator. You can find detailed
information on this in the online help of WinCC (TIA Portal).
• Offline testing of the project on the HMI device
Offline testing means that communication between the HMI device and the controller is
down while the test is being carried out.
• Online testing of the project on the HMI device
Online testing means that the HMI device and the controller communicate with each
other during testing.
Perform the tests, starting with the "Offline test", followed by the "Online test".
Note
You should always test the project on the HMI device on which the project will be used.
The test increases the certainty that the project will run error-free on the HMI device.
Requirement
• The project has been transferred to the HMI device.
• The HMI device is in "Offline" mode for the offline test.
• The HMI device is in "Online" mode for the online test.
Procedure
Offline test
In "Offline" mode, you can test individual project functions on the HMI device without them
being affected by the controller. Controller tags, therefore, are not updated.
• Test the operating elements and visualization of the project as far as possible without
connection to the controller.
Online test
In "Online" mode, you can test individual project functions on the HMI device without them
being affected by the controller. Controller tags are updated in this case. You have the option
to test all communication-related functions, such as alarms, etc.
• Test the operating elements and views of the project.
– Check that the screens are correctly displayed.
– Check the screen navigation.
– Check the input objects.
– Enter tag values.

Operating a project 8
8.1 Overview
Operator input options

You can use the touch screen to make entries.
NOTICE
Unintentional actions
Never carry out multiple operations on the Mobile Panel at the same time. You may trigger
unintentional actions that could cause material damage.
Never press more than one operating element on the display at once.
This section describes the operation of a project with the touch screen.
Observing the system documentation

Some operations with the project may require in-depth knowledge about the specific system
on the part of the operator. Exercise the necessary care if the plant is in setup mode, for
example. Please refer to your plant documentation for additional information.
Operation feedback from operating elements

The HMI device provides operation feedback as soon as it detects that an operating element
has been selected. This operation feedback is independent of any communication with the
controller. Therefore, this operation feedback does not indicate whether the relevant action is
actually executed or not.
Optical feedback from operating elements

The operating element receives the focus and is selected. The configuration engineer can
also configure the selection of an operating element so that it deviates from the standard.
Refer to your system documentation to find any additional information on this topic.

Operating a project
8.2 Function keys
The type of optical feedback depends on the operating element:

• Buttons
The HMI device generates different views for the "Pressed" and "Unpressed" states,
provided the configuration engineer has configured a 3D effect:
– "Pressed" state:
– "Unpressed" state:
The configuration engineer determines the appearance of a selected field, for example,
line width and color for the focus.
• Invisible button
By default, an invisible button is displayed as not pressed when it is selected. No optical
operation feedback is provided in this case.
The configuration engineer may, however, configure invisible buttons so that their outline
appears as a line when touched. The line remains visible until another operating element
is activated.
• I/O field
When you select an I/O field, the content of the I/O field is displayed against a colored
background. With touch operation, a screen keyboard opens for entering values.
See also
Control Panel (Page 90)
8.2 Function keys

The function keys are shown in "Design of the Mobile Panels (Page 14)". A function key can
be assigned a global or a local function.
• Function keys with global function assignment
A globally assigned function key always triggers the same action on the HMI device or in
the controller regardless of the screen displayed. Such an action could be, for example,
the activation of a screen or the closure of an alarm window.
• Function keys with local function assignment
A function key with local function assignment is screen-specific and is therefore only
effective within the active screen.

Operating a project
8.3 Direct keys
8.3 Direct keys

Direct keys on the HMI device set bits directly in the I/O area of a SIMATIC S7 controller. A
direct key enables operation with a short response time, for example, as required for setup
mode.
Read "Evaluating operator controls as direct keys (Page 185)".
Note
• You can only use direct keys when there is a connection over PROFINET IO.
• The direct key function is available or active from the following time:
– Key switches, illuminated pushbutton and corresponding LEDs:
As soon as the HMI device is supplied with power.
– Function keys with direct key functionality and corresponding LEDs:
As soon as a corresponding project is started on the HMI device.

NOTICE
In PROFIsafe-based F-system only use S7-12xx CPUs with firmware version ≥ 4.1.
When using a S7-12xx CPU with firmware version <4.1 in a PROFIsafe-based F-system, faults
can occur in the PROFIsafe communication.
If you are using an S7-12xx CPU in a PROFIsafe-based F-system, this CPU must have a
firmware version ≥4.1.

Using Secure HMI Communication

As of TIA Portal V17, the HMI devices support Secure HMI Communication in conjunction with
a controller that also supports Secure HMI Communication.
You can find detailed information on secure HMI communication in the:
• TIA Information System under "Editing devices and networks > Configuring devices and
networks > Configuring networks > Secure communication"
• S7-1500, ET200 Communication Manual
The following sections describe the most important steps to use Secure HMI Communication
on the HMI device.
Configuring HMI communication

1. Configure the HMI device with an alarm view.
Note
You cannot detect errors when establishing a connection without the alarm view.
2. Configure the CPU with the necessary security settings. Select a PLC communication
certificate to secure the HMI connection or have a PLC communication certificate generated
by the TIA Portal.
3. Configure the HMI connection between CPU and HMI device.
4. Load the project onto the CPU and the HMI device. During the project transfer, the PLC
communication certificate and if necessary a required CA certificate (certification authority)
as well is transferred to the CPU and to the HMI device.
Trusting the PLC communication certificate

During the connection setup, the CPU transfers the PLC communication certificate to the HMI
device. Distinguish between the following cases:
• If the PLC communication certificate on the HMI device already has the "trusted" status,
Secure HMI Communication between CPU and HMI device is automatically established.
• If the PLC communication certificate on the HMI device is not yet available with "trusted"
status, the alarm view of the HMI device shows a message indicating that the CPU is not
trusted along with an error code.
In this case, you have to mark the PLC communication certificate on the HMI device as
"trusted".
To mark the PLC communication certificate as "trusted", do the following.
1. Open the File Manager using the Windows CE desktop icon "My Device".
2. Go to the "\flash\simatic\SystemRoot\OMS\Untrusted" directory. There, you will find the PLC
communication certificate of the CPU.
3. Copy the PLC communication certificate of the CPU to the
"\flash\simatic\SystemRoot\OMS\Trusted" directory.
4. Start the HMI runtime software again.

11.13 Scope of functions with WinCC
If the PLC communication certificate on the HMI device has the "trusted" status, Secure HMI
Communication can be established.
Note
Changing a connection
In the Control Panel, you can close the active controller connection and establish a new
connection to a controller with a different IP address. The newly connected controller must
belong to the same device class (S7-1200, S7-1500, etc.) and support the same
communication security level.
It is not possible to switch alternately between controller connections with and without
Secure HMI Communication.

Configuring a communication connection (Page 162)
Mobile Panel
The following tables of system limits help you assess whether your project conforms to the
system limits of a given HMI device.
The specified maximum values are not additive. It cannot be guaranteed that configurations
running on the devices at the full system limits will be functional.
In addition to the specified limits, allowances must be made for restrictions imposed by
configuration memory resources.

11.14 Mobile Panel 2nd Generation F-FBs
11.14.1 Using F-FBs
Required F FBs
You must integrate the following fail-safe blocks in your safety program:
• For each HMI device: a FB198: F_FB_KTP_Mobile
The assigned HMI device is monitored by this F FB.
• For each connection box: a FB199: F_FB_KTP_RNG
The F_FB_KTP_RNG supplies the safety-related signals for the machine part that is
assigned to a connection box.
• FB 215: ESTOP1; with this block, you can ensure that the operator must first provide
confirmation after an emergency stop before the plant can be restarted. You can find this
block in the following block container of the "Safety Advanced" F-library:
"Communication > Fail-safe HMI Mobile Panels > -- KTP Mobile --"
NOTICE
Naming conventions for F-application blocks
Ensure the following parameters match when changing the names of an F-application
block:
• The symbolic name in the symbol table
• The name in the object properties of the block (header)
Rules for the safety program
WARNING
Emergency stop button not evaluated
The emergency stop button can only be evaluated in the following cases:
• System with emergency stop function, without enabling function: The output
GLOBAL_E_STOP of F_FB_KTP_Mobile is used in the safety program.
• System with acknowledgment and emergency stop function: F_FB_KTP_RNG is evaluated
by the safety program.
In a system with an emergency stop function, use the output GLOBAL_E_STOP of
F_FB_KTP_Mobile in your safety program.
In a system with an acknowledgment and an emergency stop function, use F_FB_KTP_RNG
in your safety program.

WARNING
Prohibited restart of the plant
Once the emergency stop button has been triggered, the plant can only be restarted after
operator acknowledgment. Use the FB 215 ESTOP1 in your safety program to ensure
acknowledgment by the operator.
WARNING
Emergency stop button is evaluated with delayed
If the cycle time for the OB 35 block (in conjunction with controllers of the type S7-300/400)
or MAIN_SAFETY (in conjunction with controllers of the type S7-1500 ) is set too high, this
can cause loss of frames and delayed evaluation of the output "E-STOP" of F_FB_RNG_n.
Set the cycle time lower than that for the PROFINET IO time.
The F FBs used are called cyclically and in a specific order in the safety program. You need to
call the F FBs in the following order in your safety program:
1. All F_FB_KTP_Mobile
2. All F_FB_KTP_RNG
The operator must always acknowledge errors, such as communication errors. You cannot
use any automatic acknowledgment in your safety program, therefore.
Interconnection of the F FBs
WARNING
Direct evaluation of the process images not allowed
You cannot directly evaluate the PII and PIQ in your program.
F I/O DB
An F I/O DB is automatically generated in HW Config for every F I/O.
The access to the F I/O and working with the F I/O DB is described in detail in the manual
"SIMATIC Safety - Configuration and Programming
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/54110126)", "F I/O Access" section.

Enable inputs EN and ENO

When you call a fail-safe block, the enable input EN and enable output ENO appear
automatically.
Note the following:
• Do not connect these I/Os
• Do not supply these I/Os with "0"
• Do not evaluate these I/Os
Wiring
You have to wire the inputs and outputs of the F-FB manually. No automatic wiring is
performed.
Purpose
The assigned HMI device is monitored with the F_FB_KTP_Mobile.
You need to use a separate F_FB_KTP_Mobile for each HMI device.
F_FB_KTP_Mobile performs the following tasks:
• The block integrates the HMI device in the safety program of the F-CPU after startup.
• The block removes the HMI device from the safety program after a communication error.
As soon as the communication error has been corrected and the operator has
acknowledged this, the block integrates the HMI device back into the safety program.

• The block sends the states of the HMI device to F_FB_KTP_RNG_n.

The following HMI device states are possible:
– "Removed"
– "Integrated"
– "Communication error"
– "Communication error, acknowledgement required"
QBAD monitors the output of the F-I/O for integrating and removing the HMI device.
• QBAD = 0: PROFIsafe communication is taking place between the HMI device and the F-
CPU.
• QBAD = 1: No PROFIsafe communication is not taking place between the HMI device and
the F-CPU.
WARNING
Inadmissible automatic restart of the plant
The safety program must ensure that automatic restart of the plant is not possible after
RESET is set. The operator must strictly ensure that he executes a separate operator
action to commence the restart.
Addresses of PII and PIQ

You can find the start addresses of PII and PIQ in the PROFIsafe settings of the HMI device in
HW Config.

When you call a fail-safe block, the enable input EN and enable output ENO appear
automatically.
Note the following:
• Do not connect these I/Os.
• Do not set "0" for these I/Os.
• Do not evaluate these I/Os.
Wiring
You have to wire the inputs and outputs of the F-FB manually. No automatic wiring is
performed.
Purpose
In an F-system with enabling function and emergency stop function, you need an
F_FB_KTP_RNG for each connection box.

Operating principle
Depending on the state of the HMI device connected to the connection box, the F-FB
switches the outputs of the F_FB_KTP_RNG and prepares the output user data.
Each HMI device can take one of the following states on the connection box:
• Logged off without communication error
The HMI device is successfully removed from the safety program of the F-CPU. The HMI
device has no influence on the outputs of F_FB_KTP_RNG.
• Logged on without communication error
The actual operating mode of the HMI device on the connection box.
F_FB_KTP_RNG responds as follows:
– The HMI device is supplied with user data, for example the ID of the connection box.
– The output ENABLE is set according to the state of the acknowledgement button of the
HMI device.
The output E_STOP is set according to the state of the emergency stop button of the
HMI device.
– If the operator wishes to disconnect the HMI device from the connection box, he must
log off the HMI device before disconnecting it from the safety program.
• Logged on with communication error
PROFIsafe communication with the HMI device is resumed after a brief interruption,
enabling user data to be exchanged again between the HMI device and F CPU. As long as
the communication error in not acknowledged, F_FB_KTP_RNG behaves as follows:
– The HMI device is supplied with user data, for example the ID of the connection box.
– The outputs E_STOP and ENABLE return the value "0" regardless of the switch position
of the emergency stop button and the acknowledgment button.
Addresses of PII and PIQ

You can find the start address of the PII and PIQ in the PROFIsafe settings for the HMI device.

Cascading
In order to use more than two HMI devices on a connection box, you can cascade multiple
F_FB_KTP_RNG blocks. Cascading F_FB_KTP_RNG works with the same ID. The following
figure shows an example of the cascade structure of the multiple F_FB_KTP_RNG.

Technical Support A
A.1 Troubleshooting
During fail-safe operation, you must be aware that the following error cases may arise:
• HMI does not start
If the HMI device does not start, the wires at interface X10 in the connection box may
have been crossed. Check the connected wires and change the connections if necessary.
• Internal error
If an internal error occurs in the HMI device, the HMI device displays the "Fatal Error"
message. Safety functions are no longer available. If the error persists after resetting the
fail-safe module, contact the Siemens hotline. You can find additional information in the
following section: "Fatal Error" dialog (Page 213)
• Communication error
If a PROFIsafe communication error occurs on the HMI device, the safety functions are not
available. The F-CPU triggers an emergency stop and switches the plant or plant area into
a defined safe operating state. When PROFIsafe communication is possible again, the
message "Confirm communication error" is displayed. Confirm the message with the
enabling button. You can find additional information in the following section:
"Confirm communication error" dialog (Page 213)
• SCALANCE firmware error in the connection box
If a SCALANCE firmware error occurs in the standard or advanced connection box, press
the SET button shown in the figure below for at least 15 seconds.
The SET button resets the firmware of the internal SCALANCE switch to the factory
settings.
Note
The setting for safety-related operating mode of the connection box is retained.
You can find additional information about the SET button in the following document:

Glossary
"Automatic mode" and "setup mode"

Program-controlled plants pose a significant safety risk for operators. EN 12417 "Machine
tools. Safety. Machining centers" and DIN EN 13128 " Safety of machine tools - Milling and
boring machines" define operating modes to ensure staff safety. A "setup mode" is required
for correct plant setup for "automatic mode". Plant functions in this mode are limited
compared to automatic mode. Devices have to be moved with the handwheel or in jog mode.
"Offline" operating mode

In this operating mode, the HMI device and the PLC do not communicate over the
connections configured in the project. You can operate the current project on the HMI device.
However, project data are not transferred.
"Online" operating mode

In this mode, the HMI device and PLC communicate. You can operate the plant with the HMI
device in accordance with the configuration.
"Transfer" mode
In this mode, you can transfer a project from the configuration PC to the HMI device or
backup and restore HMI device data, for example.
Acknowledge
Acknowledgment of an alarm confirms that it has been noted.
Automation system
An automation system is a controller of the SIMATIC S7 series, such as a SIMATIC S7-300.
Backtransfer
Backtransfer is the backup of a project from the HMI device to a configuration PC.
Bootloader
The bootloader is used to start the operating system and is started automatically after HMI
device power on. The Start Center opens after the operating system has loaded.

Glossary
Configuration PC
A configuration PC is a programming device or PC on which configuration software is
installed. You can create projects for a plant with the configuration software.
Configuration software
Configuration software is software used to create projects for process visualization and input
of process values. The SIMATIC TIA Portal is configuration software.
EMC
Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of electrical equipment to function properly in its
electromagnetic environment without influencing this environment.
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.
Field array
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.
HMI device
An HMI device is a device used for the operation and monitoring of machines and plants. The
statuses of the machine or plant are indicated by means of graphic elements or by indicator
lamps on the HMI device. The operator controls of the HMI device allow the operator to
interact with the processes of the machine or plant.
HMI device image

A file that can be transferred from the configuration PC to the HMI device. The HMI device
image contains the operating system and elements of the runtime software required to run a
project.
I/O field
An I/O field enables the input or output of values on the HMI device which are transferred to
the PLC.

Glossary
Infotext
An infotext is a configured information on objects within a project. Infotext for an alarm, for
example, may contain information on the cause of the fault and troubleshooting routines.
Object
An object is a component of a project. Example: screen or alarm. Objects are used to view or
enter texts and values on the HMI device.
Operating element
Component of a project used to enter values and trigger functions. A button, for example, is
an operating element.
Plant
General term referring to machines, processing centers, systems, plants and processes which
are operated and monitored on an HMI device.
PLC
A PLC is a general term for devices and systems with which the HMI device communicates,
e.g. SIMATIC S7.
PLC job
A PLC job triggers a function for the PLC at the HMI device.
PROFINET
Within the framework of Totally Integrated Automation, PROFINET represents the systematic
further development of the following bus systems:
• PROFIBUS DP as well-established fieldbus
• Industrial Ethernet as the communications bus for the cell level
The experience gained from both systems has been and continues to be integrated in
PROFINET. PROFINET is an Ethernet-based automation standard from PROFIBUS International
and defines a vendor-neutral communication and engineering model.

Glossary
PROFINET IO
As part of PROFINET, PROFINET IO is a communication concept that is used to implement
modular, distributed applications. PROFINET IO allows you to create automation solutions of
the type with which you are familiar from PROFIBUS. PROFINET IO is implemented by the
PROFINET standard for automation devices on the one hand, and on the other hand by the
STEP 7 engineering tool.
This means that you have the same application view in STEP 7 regardless of whether you
configure PROFINET devices or PROFIBUS devices. Programming your user program is
essentially the same for PROFINET IO and PROFIBUS DP if you use the expanded blocks and
system status lists for PROFINET IO.
Project
A project is the result of a configuration using configuration software. The project normally
contains several screens with embedded system-specific objects, basic settings and alarms.
The project file of a project that was created in WinCC is saved with the file name extension
"*.HMI".
You need to distinguish between a project on the configuration PC and an executable project
on an HMI device. A project may be available in more languages on the configuration PC than
can be managed on the HMI device. The project on the configuration PC can also be set up
for different HMI devices. Only the runtime project that has been generated for the respective
HMI device can be transferred to it.
Project file
A project file is a file from which the executable project file for use on the HMI device is
generated. The project file is usually not transferred and remains on the configuration PC.
The file extension of a project file is "*.hmi".
Proof-test interval
Recurring test for detecting hidden dangerous failures in a safety-related system so that a
repair, if needed, can restore the system to an "as new" condition or as close to this condition
as is practically possible.
Real-time Ethernet
Ethernet for isochronous cycle times of < 1 ms, for example, to meet the high real-time
requirements of drive technology.

Glossary
Runtime software
The runtime software is a process visualization software used to test a project on a
configuration PC.
Screen
A screen is a form of visualization of all logically related process data of a plant. The
visualization of the process data can be supported by graphic objects.
STEP 7
STEP 7 is the programming software for SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC C7 and SIMATIC WinAC PLCs.
Symbolic I/O field

A symbolic I/O field is a field for the input or output of a value. Contains a list of default
entries from which one can be selected.
System event
A system event is assigned to the "System" alarm class. A system event refers to internal
states on the HMI device and the PLC.
Tag
Defined memory location to which values can be written to and read from. This can be done
from the PLC or the HMI device. Based on whether the tag is interconnected with the PLC or
not, we distinguish between "external" tags (process tags) and "internal" tags.
Telnet
Telnet is the name of a network protocol widely used on the Internet. The client-server
protocol is based on character-based data exchange over a TCP connection. Programs that
implement the function of the terminal device are also frequently called Telnet.
Transfer
Transfer of a runtime project from the configuration PC to the HMI device.
