QUESTION:
What do I have to observe when coupling a Operator Panel to a WinAC
Basis/WinAC RTX V4.0?
ANSWER:
In the following entry you find an instruction to couple a OP via
PROFIBUS to a WinAC RTX V4.0. The procedure for a WinAC Basis is
analogous.
Prerequisites:
- MS Windows 2000 SP3 or MS Windows XP SP1
- as per WinAC Basis V4.0or RTX V4.0
- ProTool V6.0 SP2
- as per SIMATIC NET V6.0 SP5 or V6.1
- as per STEP 7 V5.2
Note:
A description of the coupling of a OP to a
WinAC RTX V3.0 you find in Entry-ID: 9868440.
Configuring SIMATIC PC Station with WinAC RTX V4.0
- Open SIMATIC Manager and design a new STEP 7 project.
- Insert a PC station via "Insert > Station > SIMATIC PC
Station" into the project.
- Double click on "Configuration" opens the hardware
configuration of the PC station.
Fig. 1: Inserting PC-Station in STEP 7 Project
- Set the respective WinLC - e. g. WinLC RTX V4.0 (from hardware
catalog "SIMATIC PC Station > Controller" ) - in the rack of the
PC-Station to index 2.
- Insert the CP5613 as IF module of the WinLC RTX.
Attention:
WinLC RTX can only be run with the
CP5613.
Fig. 2: Inserting WinLC and CP5613
- Save and compile the configuration.
- Then open station configuration editor on the WinAC
computer.
- The table of the station configuration editor must match
exactly the assignments of the rack of the SIMATIC
PC-Station.
Note:
In the station configuration editor the IF
module will be inserted in the property dialog of the WinLC RTX.
For this the CP5613 must be in the configured
mode.
- Start the WinAC controller on the WinAC PC.
- In order to be able to load the configuration on the WinAC, the
name of the PC-Station in SIMATIC Manager must match the name of
the station in the station configuration editor on the WinAC
computer.

- Furthermore, on the STEP 7 configuration PC the PG/PC interface
must be adapted to the respective mode of transmission (here:
S7ONLINE (STEP 7) --> CP5613_CP5614 (PROFIBUS)).
- Load the STEP 7 project into theWinLC.
Note:
Further information on transfering the STEP 7
project onto the WinAC you find in Entry-ID:
18602609.
Configuring of SIMATIC OP
- Add an OP to your STEP 7 project via "Insert > Station >
SIMATIC OP".
Note:
ProTool must be started with the option (STEP
7-integrated) as to edit the OP project in SIMATIC
Manager.
Fig. 4: Inserting SIMATIC OP
- Set up a ProTool project with the project wizard - e. g.
for the OP7.
- Then select "Control" and open by couble clicking the property
dialog for coupling of the OP to the WinAC.
- For a coupling between the WinLC and a OP, the protocol
"SIMATIC S7-300/400 V6.0" is recommended. Select this protocol and
open "Parameters".
Note:
The protocol "SIMATIC S7 - WinAC V6.0" is no
longer recommended for the coupling of a OP to the WinAC. If you
use this protocol please note restrictions such as no support of
string tags!
Fig. 5: Setting the Control Protocol
- Connect the OP7 with PROFIBUS and choose the WinLC RTX program
as communication partner.
Fig. 6: Conneting the OP with Control
Terminate the dialog with "OK" as to end the configuration.
