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.
Note

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.
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button are no longer active.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.
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.
F-systems
The table below shows the F-systems that can be configured or installed for a given
connection box. Requirement is that you are using a fail-safe Mobile Panel.

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.
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.
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.
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".
WARNING
Short-term PROFINET IO interruptions possible when using protocols with alternative
communication paths
The following applies when you use a protocol with alternative communication paths, for
example, MRP, STP or RSTP, for PROFINET communication: When an interruption in the
network occurs, for example, due to a cable break, PROFINET IO interruptions can occur
during the switching time to the alternative communication path. This can result in personal
injury or property damage.
Take appropriate protection measures to prevent physical injury or material damage.
You can find additional information in the following document:Configuration manual
"SCALANCE X-200" (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/de/view/109476763)

WARNING
The device may only be used in machines which comply with the Machinery Directive
The "Machinery Directive" governs, among other things, the precautions to be taken when
commissioning and operating machines within the European Economic Area.
Failure to follow these precautions is a breach of the Machinery Directive. Such failure may
also cause personal injury and damage depending on the machine operated.
The machine in which the HMI device is to be operated must conform to Directive
2006/42/EC.
Note
These safety steps must always be taken in the above order before any work on electrical
systems. Once work on an electrical system is finished, cancel the safety steps starting with
the last and finishing with the first.
Label the electrical system in accordance with the applicable safety provisions when work is
to be carried out.
Always adhere to the safety provisions applicable in the country of use.
NOTICE
Safety is the responsibility of the assembler
The safety of any plant or system incorporating the equipment is the responsibility of the
assembler of the plant or system.
ESD
A device with electronic components is an electrostatic sensitive device. Due to their design,
electronic components are sensitive to overvoltage and thus to the discharge of static
electricity. Note the applicable regulations for ESD.
WARNING
Danger of injury
If the HMI device is to be used for manual movements in setup mode and the enabling
button is not active, there is a serious risk for the operating personnel.
For a project used to set up a plant, make sure that each movement requires the operation
of the enabling button. Only allow movements with the enabling button and at a reduced
speed.
WARNING
HMI device failure
A strong shock or impact can impair the proper functioning of the Mobile Panel.
After any mechanical shock or impact, check that the Mobile Panel and the safety-related
parts are in working order.
Note
The emergency stop / stop button can be triggered unintentionally when the HMI device is
dropped. This can result in an unintended shutdown of the plant.
Note
The function of the emergency stop / stop button must be checked regularly.
See "Testing Mobile Panel readiness for operation (Page 85)".

Operate the device only in a normal atmospheric environment
The technical characteristics of the device described in the operating instructions are
guaranteed if you operate the device in normal ambient air conditions with usual air
composition.
Note
The device is intended for operation in an SELV/PELV circuit according to IEC/EN 61131 or
IEC/EN 61010-2-201 in a dry environment, which means a dry environment inside the
building.
Additional information is available in the section "Operating Conditions (Page 224)".
Industrial applications
The HMI device is designed for industrial applications. It conforms to the following standards:
• Requirements on interference emission EN 61000-6-4:2019
• Requirements on immunity EN 61000-6-2:2019
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

6.5.3 Controlling the LEDs of the function keys by means of system functions
LEDs are integrated in the HMI device's function keys. The connected PLC can control the
integrated LEDs. For example, the LED signals to the operator that they should or can operate
the corresponding function key during project runtime.
The following table shows the possible states of the LEDs and the corresponding entries in bit
n+1 and bit n of the LED tags.
The following table shows the bit assignment for the LED tags of the illuminated
pushbuttons:
Note
If you use a tag of the "Boolean" type for the keyswitch, the following assignment applies:
• Status "0": Central position of the keyswitch
• Status "1": Keyswitch turned clockwise or counter-clockwise to the stop
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.
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.
"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.
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".
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.
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.

Number of connections
The table below shows the maximum number of controller connections for a Mobile Panel
2nd Generation.
Compatible controllers
The table below shows the controllers that you can connect to the HMI device via the
connection boxes.
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.
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.
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.

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)
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.
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.
Application example
You can find a Getting Started and a detailed application example including TIA Portal project
on the Internet (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/103497649).
11.14.2 F_FB_KTP_Mobile
Inputs
Outputs
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.
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.
11.14.3 F_FB_KTP_RNG
Inputs
Outputs
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.
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.
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:
Operating instructions "SCALANCE X-200"

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.
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.
I/O field
An I/O field enables the input or output of values on the HMI device which are transferred to
the PLC.
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.

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.
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.

requirements of drive technology.
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.
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.
