1.1 Preconditions

System and clock cycle flags

The system and clock cycle flag bits have been taken from the TIA standard. They
must be activated in the Properties of the CPU under General.

Fig. 1-1: System and clock cycle flags

In the TIA default setting, MB1 is used for the system flag and MB0 is used for the
clock cycle flag. By using the system clock cycle flag bits, it is no longer necessary
to program the symbols AlwaysTrue etc., which in STEP 7 Classic still had to be

1.3 Blocks that are absolutely necessary when using HMI PRO

1.3 Blocks that are absolutely necessary when using HMI PRO
The standard blocks required for HMI PRO running under SINUMERIK Operate are
saved in the TRANSLINE library under Copy templates in directories 840evo PLC
BP and 840evo PLC BP data types.

LBP_NC [DB10] and LBP_HMI [DB19]

From the basic program, you must use LBP_NC [DB10] when using an NC, and
LBP_HMI [DB19] when using a SIMATIC PLC. It is not permissible that the
numbers of these blocks are changed, as SINUMERIK Operate and HMI PRO
directly access these blocks.

LBP_OpUnitComm [FB25000] and LBP_ConfigData [DB7]

You must call the LBP_OpUnitComm [FB25000] in the cyclic program if you
connect an HT8 or a TCU. It is appropriately parameterized via the
LBP_ConfigData [DB7].

Communication
For communication with the HT8, the DNS configuration must be parameterized in
the properties of the CPU.

A more precise description of how LBP_ConfigData is supplied and using the

LBP_OpUnitComm is provided in Chapter 4.2 Connecting an IPC with PCU Base
and additional control elements.

LTLP_HmiProInterfaceData [DB501]
This data block represents the data interface between HMI PRO and the PLC user
program. It is saved in the TRANSLINE library under copy templates in the
common directory
In exceptional cases, the data block can also be stored in the controller under a
different number. This must be entered in the configuration tool HMI PRO CS V8
under Configuration ► Default settings ► Control via PLC ► User-defined
standard DB and subsequently activated.

Types
If you are using the TRANSLINE library for the first time in your TIA project:
Open the library under Global libraries, and copy the Types directory into the
Program blocks directory of your TIA project. The folder structure from the library
is kept.

If you are already using blocks from the TRANSLINE library in your TIA project,
and wish to use a newer version:
Update the Types using the context menu ► Update project in the actual library -
or copy the Types directory to the Program blocks directory of your TIA project.
The dependencies are accepted in both cases.

The blocks from the copy templates are not accepted in the project when updating
the types. They must be separately copied into the project.

Copy the following copy templates into your TIA project:

• Blocks: all required directories, with the exception of 840evo PLC BP data
types, in the Program blocks directory
• Data types: Directory 840evo PLC BP data types in the PLC data types

This chapter includes information on how you connect IPCs (this involves the
IPC427 and IPC477 hardware released for SINUMERIK) with HT8, TCU and MPP
as well as a SIMATIC S7-1500 in a common network.

4.1 Communication levels with PROFINET and Industrial Ethernet

The solution line environment mentions 3 network structures:

Ethernet/factory/production network
Connecting the production plants and systems to the IT landscape of an end
customer.

Ethernet/system network (PN-2)

The network between machines/stations is known as the Ethernet/plant network;
PLC data can be exchanged via this network. In addition, the network is available
for other standard TCP communications (e.g. quality data, connection to the master
computer, OPC UA). Communication of safety-related and non-safety-related
signals is realized via the PROFINET interface of the controller being used. The
PLC can be programmed centrally for all machines via this network.

PN-IO network
The PN-IO network connects typical field devices with the controller of the
particular machine/station. When using intelligent field devices, by appropriately
configuring the S615, it is possible to address field devices from the system
network or the factory network.

2018 4 Connecting the control elements to the controllers
4.1 Communication levels with PROFINET and Industrial Ethernet

4.1 Communication levels with PROFINET and Industrial

Ethernet
The system network and factory network should be physically separated. Every
unit that needs to be visible on the factory network must be directly integrated into
this network. This is required, for example, if unit operating data is to be acquired
or if ePS Network Services is to be used.

PLC communication between the header-end and the machining units as well as
between the individual machining units is via the system network PN I-Device,
T-Send/Recv.

If the visualization data for transfer lines and flexible lines is transferred over the
system network as T:M:N applications, the system network and the PN system
network should be connected with one another using unmanaged switches. If
visualization is implemented as observation of the individual machines, it makes
sense to separate the system network and the PN system network. It is then
possible to structure each unit or cell identically; each cell has its own system
network. Only the PN system network covers the entire plant.

All control elements are configured in the plant/system network and the PN-2
network of the S7-1500.
• IPC, SIMATIC S7-1500 are assigned fixed addresses.
• Normally, the MPP is set as PROFINET node, and is therefore supplied with a
fixed address via the PN-2 network of the SIMATIC.
• HT8, TCUs - and possibly also the MPP - are connected via the SINUMERIK
DHCP server of the IPC. An area should be set for the IP addresses on the
IPC under Commissioning ▶Network ▶System network.

2018 4 Connecting the control elements to the controllers
4.2 Connecting an IPC with PCU Base and additional control elements to a SIMATIC PLC via the PN
interface

Input data (e.g. from keys) of the control components is transferred to the PLC, and
output data (e.g. LEDs) is transferred from the PLC to the control components. This
data is processed by the LTLP_ControlPanelMPP, LTLP_HandHeldTerminal8 …
blocks (see Chapter 6 Modes of Safe Operation).
The memory areas in which input and output data are saved must be defined in the
user program.

4.2.1 Procedure when integrating an MPP or HT8 via the Ethernet

interface (SINUMERIK DHCP client)
The HT8 must be integrated as SINUMERIK DHCP client; MPP IE can be
integrated as SINUMERIK DHCP client.
The HT8 is connected with the connection box or the MPP IE via Ethernet at the
X2P1 interface of the IPC (system network) and at PN-2 of the S7-1500.

When connecting an HT8 or an MPP to a SIMATIC PLC in the operating area

Commissioning ▶Network ▶ System network, the DHCP server of the IPC
must be set to "Low priority", "High priority" or "Master priority". (You require as a
minimum access level 3 in order to change the settings (user).) The settings are
accepted using the Distribute DHCP data.

Fig. 4-4: Setting the DHCP server of the PCU for connecting HT8 to a SIMATIC PLC

LBP_OPUnitComm [FB25000] handles the actual communication. As a minimum,

the block should be called every 40 ms so that the transfer intervals to and from
control components can be maintained.

Control signals
Communication to the individual components can be stopped using parameters
MCP1Stop, MCP2Stop, HTStop, Op1KeyStop and Op2KeyStop . You can stop
or activate communication in an active cycle.

Example: Stopping transfer from the 1st machine control panel

LBP_ConfigData.MCP1Stop = TRUE

Example: Starting transfer of the 1st machine control panel

LBP_ConfigData.MCP1Stop:= FALSE

When parameters MCP1Stop, MCP2Stop, HTStop, Op1KeyStop and

Op2KeyStop are set, then alarms are suppressed or cleared.

Switching over the bus address

If an existing communication connection to an operator component is to be
cancelled and a new communication connection established to a different operator
component with a different bus address - or the pointers for the input and output
data are changed - then proceed as follows:

1. Stop the communication of the control component to be disconnected:

Parameter MCP1Stop, MCP2Stop, HTStop, Op1KeyStop or Op2KeyStop =
TRUE
2. Communication is stopped, if in DB10 the following applies:
–MCP: E_MCP1ready or E_MCP2ready = FALSE
–HT: E_HTready = FALSE
–OpKey: E_Op1KeyReady or E_Op2KeyReady = FALSE
3. Change the bus address in DB7:
–MCP: MCP1BusAdr or MCP2BusAdr = <bus address of the new
MCP>
–HT: HTAddr = <bus address of the new HT>
–OpKey: Op1KeyBusAdr or Op2KeyBusAdr = <bus address of the new
OpKey>
4. Enable the communication (possible in the same PLC cycle as pointe 3):
Parameter MCP1Stop, MCP2Stop, HTStop, Op1KeyStop or Op2KeyStop =
FALSE
5. The communication with the new control component is active if, in DB10 the
following applies:
–MCP: E_MCP1ready or E_MCP2ready = TRUE
–HT: E_HTready = TRUE
–OpKey: E_Op1KeyReady or E_Op2KeyReady = TRUE

5.1 Axis selection screen in HMI PRO

When using blocks for the Mode of Safe Operation, the Axis selection screen
must always be integrated into HMI PRO. For applications with HT8 or when using
a PCU/IPC without MPP, the screen can be used for selecting TRANSLINE
functions.
When using an HT8 or a PCU/IPC without MPP, then the softkeys for the
TRANSLINE functions (AUT, SM, SSM etc.) are displayed.
In HMI PRO CS, under Configuration for SIMATIC PLC, the setting HT8: Display
U key menu only must be selected. Further, the labeling of the softkeys on the
U keys screen can be changed.

Axis selection screen call on an HT8 or on an IPC

The Axis selection screen is opened as follows:
• HT8: With the U key
• IPC: with <Ctrl> + <U>
• IPC with MPP1500: with <Ctrl> + <U> or
Tip/click on the active area to open the system menu, followed by softkey
U key menu
(Requirement: Configuration in HMI PRO CS under Default settings ▶

from operator panels MPP, HT8 and U keys screen as well as the signal-
processing blocks LTLP_OperatingMode and LTLP_FunctionModeTransline
support OEMs in applying Modes of Safe Operations.

Block definitions
The operating mode blocks provide a similar interface for each operator panel for
the following keys and LEDs: MPP, axis selection keys and LEDs and keys/LEDs
that OEMs can freely use.
There is an FC and parameterization data block for each operator panel.
The shared interface is the LTLP_DeviceInterfaceData [DB546].

The assignment of the keys to TL and NC functions is defined in each case for the
associated parameterization data block.

This block is required when using an MPP483 as machine control panel.
When creating the RESTART_PLC signal, the LTLP_ControlPanelMPP reads the
assignment of the keys once from the LTLP_ControlPanelMPPData [DB540],
calculates the new addresses and enters them in data area inputsAssigned or
outputsAssigned.
The FC transfers all key signals to the LTLP_DeviceInterfaceData [DB546], area

selected keys to the LTLP_DeviceInterfaceData even when there is no global
enable (ENABLE = FALSE). To do this, in the LTLP_ControlPanelMPP, area
alwaysEnabled enable the appropriate signal.
The lamps and LEDs are always read from the LTLP_DeviceInterfaceData,
outputsAssigned area and then displayed.
With the input parameter LAMPTEST = TRUE, all lamps and LEDs on the MPP
are activated. This is also realized if, for a locked MPP, a key is pressed. Keys
which were enabled in the alwaysEnabled area, are the exception.

LTLP_HandHeldTerminal8 or LTLP_AxisSelectScreen and the block for the
TRANSLINE functions LTLP_FunctionModeTransline.
Depending on the selected Mode of Safe Operation, LTLP_OperatingMode
preselects a TRANSLINE function type. An attempt is always made to retain the
existing function. The block only influences the selection of the TRANSLINE
function type. Users must program activating the TRANSLINE function as well as
the feedback signal (e.g. pSetupMode, setupMode).

Attention
LTLP_DirectKey [FC511] must be used for direct key screens.

The function block represents the link between the direct keys of the operator panel
and the data bar of HMI PRO LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData. It is required for all
screens that use direct keys.
In conjunction with HMI PRO, this block determines the function code for the
appropriate selected movement or direct key function.

Data interface
There is a transfer area for the direct keys in the LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData data
bar. This area is used to transfer the pressed direct key as well as the bits for the
+/- movement to the operator panels and calculate the actual line number. This line
number is signaled to the user via DBW79 and a lock bit is set.
This function can be deactivated with parameter PLUS_MINUS_EXTERN=TRUE
in order to connect the standard plus/minus function to external keys. If
PLUS_MINUS_EXTERNAL is set to FALSE, then the plus/minus keys are realized
with HMI PRO and the LTLP_DirectKey.

The following signals of the LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData must be used by the user

as output parameters:
• LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData.pPlus [DBX77.1] movement in the plus direction
selected.
• LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData.pMinus [DBX77.2] movement in the minus
direction selected.
Movement numbers LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData.noFunctionLow [DBB79] and
LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData.noFunctionHigh [DBB80] are only valid for status 1
at signals LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData.pPlus and
LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData.pMinus.

Note
Please note that the movement number must be interpreted as word, is
BCD-coded and low/high are interchanged.

The programming resources that implement the functions are only allocated after
the LTLP_DirectKey. The use of GRAPH is described in Chapter 9.

8.2 Type preselection, workpiece overview and part counter

8.2.3 Workpiece count

Counters are updated using the LTLP_WorkpieceCount [FB522] block. The last
station's data is documented with the aid of the workpiece count. Transfer to the
block is realized using parameter MACHINING_UNIT. The display in the HMI PRO
screen is realized by copying type
"LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData".workpieceTypeStation[MACHINING_UNIT].work
pieceType into the data word for "workpiece type at the exit belt"
"LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData".workpieceTypeExitBelt. This variable is also used
for the MDA/PDA connection to TRANSLINE Collect.

Fig. 8-9: Interrelationship between the screen Workpiece count and block LTLP_WorkpieceCount

The parameters of the LTLP_WorkpieceCount are explained in the diagram

above. (Additional information, see FB description). The workpiece types to be
counted are counted depending on the index, which supplies formal parameter
MACHINING_UNIT. Here, the workpiece type is expected with LOW/HIGH
interchanged and BCD-coded. The subsequent 16 bits (see Fig. 8-9
data excerpt above) contain the status of the workpieces for each count cycle:
available (typeXPresent = TRUE and OK/not OK (typeXOK = TRUE/FALSE). The
COUNT_START parameter is used for counting, taking the data described above
into account.

8.2 Type preselection, workpiece overview and part counter

LTLP_WorkpieceCount counts the workpiece types 1 to 32 within the

LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData.
Types > 32 are counted in a data block UPTL_ExternalWorkpieceData to be
created by the OEM, which is based on the LTLP_typeWorkpieceCount. This
data block is in the TRANSLINE library under types and under copy templates in
the ProductionDataAcquisition directory.
Count data can be reset using parameters RESET_WORKPIECETYPE,
RESET_WHOLE, RESET_DAY and RESET_SHIFT. If, at these parameters, the
data from HMI PRO are created, then the operator can reset the total counter, daily
counter and shift counter.

Note
The workpiece counter type (preselWorkpieceCountReset), which should be
reset, is BCD-coded and LOW/HIGH are interchanged.

Using "LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData".resetTotalCounter, the total counter is

reset, using "LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData".resetDailyCounter the daily counter
and using "LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData".resetShiftCounter the shift counter.
If, in the function key assignment of HMI PRO the Shift model and Utilization
screens are integrated, then there is an automated version to reset these counters.
The actual shift is stored in data byte "LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData".shiftNumber.
This can be used to determine how shift and daily counters are reset.

LTLP_WorkpieceCount [FB522]
This block is required for the Workpiece count HMI PRO screen.
The workpieces machined in the machine are counted using this block. Up to 1000
workpiece types with a maximum of 8 workpieces are possible per station.
(Configuring in the workpiece overview screen under Properties)

Fig. 8-10: HMI PRO CS – workpiece overview, workpieces per station

Workpieces are counted each shift, each day and over the entire period. Every
counter indicates the sum of all workpieces as well as correct and incorrect
workpieces. The counters can be reset.

Standard projects with a 1:1 configuration are identified in the status bar with .
1:N configuration
For a 1:N configuration, it is possible to visualize and operate up to 4 lower-level
controllers with one operator panel (i.e. one IPC with one MPP; (several TCUs or
HT8 are permitted)). Virtual stations are not possible!
An 1:N project includes a basic configuration (ROOT) and a control-specific

10.1 General information

Virtual stations
With the aid of the configuration of virtual stations, it is possible to visualize up to
20 stations on the operator panel with one controller. This means that a station is
the virtual image of a PLC on the actual SIMATIC PLC controller. A separate
HMI PRO DB with a different number is generated for each station to be visualized.
Permissible operator components are: one IPC with one MPP or HT8.
An HMI PRO project with virtual stations contains a basic configuration (ROOT)
and, for each station to be visualized, a station-specific configuration in a dedicated
data block. As a consequence, virtual stations operate with a multitude of standard
HMI PRO DBs on a controller.
Virtual stations are only permitted for a 1:1 connection.
1:N projects are designated with in the status list.

Byte LTLP_HMIProInterfaceData.net_Index [DB501.DBB49] cannot be used
here. Instead, use the screen identifier of the selected screen. Using the function
key number you can determine which screen is selected.

Fig. 10-9: Softkey/function key number of a screen in the function key screen

Example of evaluation of the function key number (softkey) 31:

DB501.DBB82 = 1 corresponds to the 1st column of the horizontal softkey bar
(upper and third levels in the function key assignment)
DB501.DBB83 = 3 corresponds to the 3rd line of the vertical softkey bar (lower
level in the function key assignment)
This means that for DB501.DBW82 = W#16#0103 setup screen 1 is currently
selected.

L DB501.DBW 82 //DB for the selected station

L w#16#0103

2018 11 Using GRAPH blocks
11.1 Specifications

11 Using GRAPH blocks

11
Step sequence programming using GRAPH is suitable for programming sequential
machine processes in PLC-controlled machines.
This chapter describes the use of GRAPH blocks from the TRANSLINE library for
using the manual control via GRAPH in the HMI PRO setup screens.

TRANSLINE library
The blocks, data types, and example DBs are stored in the TRANSLINE library
under types/copy template in the Graph directory.

11.1 Specifications
In the GRAPH blocks used for the manual control, the setting "Permanent
processing of all interlocks in manual operation" must be activated so that
executability can be accordingly displayed.
The name of the instance of a GRAPH block should not exceed 40 characters in
length because internally and in the parameterization no more than 40 characters
are reserved. Note that the quotation marks at the beginning and end of the name
in the parameterization must be taken into account. This means that only 38
characters are available for the actual instance name.

In the properties of the GRAPH block, under the General tab, you must set version
V4.0.

11.2 LTLP_GraphManualExecutable [FB562]

11.2 LTLP_GraphManualExecutable [FB562]

If you wish to execute the manual control in HMI PRO setup screens 1 and 2 via
GRAPH, then in the properties of your GRAPH block, under the Attribute tab
under Name of the extension block you must enter block
LTLP_GraphManualExecutable. It is not permissible that the block is called in the
PLC program.
For this purpose, in the interface of the GRAPH block, either a single-instance of
the FB must be defined as I/O parameter – or a multi-instance in the static area of
the GRAPH block.

12.1 DB_HMI_ALARM_SERVER [DB126]
The DB_HMI_ALARM_SERVER can manage up to 16000 alarms and messages.
Alarm and message texts are configured in the HMI PRO CS in the project
navigation under Configuration ▶ Alarms ▶ Constant alarms and messages (all
alarm sources) ▶ Alarms and messages.
As with the standard alarm system, texts are displayed in the message window on
alarm screens and in the system message line. The numbers (700000 to 715999)
are displayed corresponding to the bit set in the DB_HMI_ALARM_SERVER.
The areas for alarms or messages can be configured with HMI PRO CS. Other
supplementary conditions for evaluating errors can also be defined.
For more information about configuring alarms and messages, see the online help
for HMI PRO CS.

12.2 Error and operating messages

12.2.1 General information

DB_HMI_ALARM_SERVER is used as the interface for error and operating
messages. The block should be created in the TIA Portal as data block with a size
that corresponds to that configured in HMI PRO CS. Error and operating messages
are configured in the HMI PRO CS in the project navigation under Configuration ▶
Alarms ▶ Constant alarms and messages (all alarm sources) ▶ Alarms and
messages.
For more information about configuring alarms and messages, see the online help
for HMI PRO CS.

12.2.2 Acknowledgment concept

The following acknowledgement concepts are implemented for error and operating
messages:

Operating messages
Operating messages are intended for displaying normal operating states as
information for the operator. Acknowledgment signals are, therefore, not required.
An entry is made in the operating message buffer for incoming and outgoing
messages. The operator panel (HMI device) maintains an up-to-date log of existing
operating messages using the identifiers Operating message arrived and
Operating message gone.

Error messages
Error messages display error states at the machine, which could result in a
machine stoppage. If several errors occur simultaneously, it is important to be able
to distinguish their order of occurrence for troubleshooting purposes. This is
indicated, on one hand, by the order in which they are entered in the error
message buffer and on the other, by the time stamp, which is assigned to each
entry. If the cause of the error has disappeared, the error message is only cleared
if the user has acknowledged the message.
