unfortunately I've no ideea about Downtime monitor, but I assume that value goes to a PLC and that is the machine speed setpoint; that case I would define a new "place" into the PLC for the speed and set it from WinCC (pdl).

dante

1. how is the speed set at this moment? (when is not set from WinCC)?
2. is it automatically adjusted?
3. do you have a potentiometer for speed?

dante

sorry. you are right, that OP is so old... no manual for it. All I could get is this (hope help you): 1. PROBLEM: How do you parameterize an OP30 on the L2 bus. ANSWER: COMGRAPH/MT (under FlexOs): The complete parameterizing can be done via the COM (except for L2 bus parameters ) COMGRAPH: The PLC p...

dante

It does nor exist PLC accepting S5 AND S7 programs.
If the PLC color is black you MUST use S7; if its light yellow/grey you MUST use S5.
If you want to change the S5 with S7 you can try automatic converting of S5 prog to S7.
Althrough, I am warmly reccomanding you to do it manually.

dante

I'm 100% sure you can find this info in the OP30 manual.

dante

It's not possible. You have to manually redraw the project for 5.1

dante

actions are executed on events. functions on calls. you have an action or a function not executed?

dante

what temperatures do you have on the cold and on the hot sources?

dante

so everythig is WRONG; you cannot use discrete valves for this application, you must use regulation valves (valves driven with analog signals). You can use PWM with electrical heaters but not with valves.

dante

Thks man, looks interesting.

dante

Course its possible. Is only a matter of how are you interpreting the output of the PID. You can, for instance, say: - between 0% and 30% one valve is controlled, the other one will not change the position; - between 31% and 100% the other valve is controlled, all this have to be impletented AFTER t...

dante

It's not clear. The setpoint is not controlled. The setopint is the "desired" value and is to be set from outside PID. Do you need cascaded PIDs?

dante

actuators do not control anything. they are only executing.

dante

after the power-up of the panel you should get a screen with 2 download buttons: 1 for serial transfer, 1 for MPI transfer. The screen is only active for few seconds; press Serial transfer & download your project using RS232 cable.

dante

Do you have licence for User Archives? If yes, is it still valid? (you may check the licence with licence manager)
If it's OK, try uninstalling and reinstalling User Archives option.

dante

...another point: you can define & use only one alarm (if you want to) for many buttons, so writing the text will be not so time consuming.

dante

Don't know if possible, I think not, but the "normal way" to log alarms and warnigs is to activate a bit, I think (not 100% sure) U can define & use internal tags (means that bits are not into the PLC, they are only WinCC internal).
Have no ideea about PCS.

dante

If U want alarm logging, my first ideea is to assign an alarm bit for any event U want to trace and activate that bit with the button script.

dante

It's very easy. Assign a script to any button the operator can press; the script must run "on button down" for example. That script have to write (as APPEND) infos in a log file (like: date, hour, button number, logged user etc).

dante

You do not need a module to simulate CFC. As long as the simulator is never linked to the real process, you do not need special modules. All the simulation take place in the RAM memory of your PC. You must simulate (give values to) all inputs used in the program. You cannot simulate PROCESSES. You w...

dante

That's for sure the right answer. Not all modules can be simulated (especially the "time-critical" ones like communication modules, for example).

dante

Ok, thank you, but... engineer888 doesn't have a MMC card, but a MC one.

dante

can u succesfuly create and run a new project?

dante

you have to install the PLC simulator and licence. This simulator runs in the memory of your PC and acts like a real connected PLC; so U don't need any communication adapter; when you download the project use the MPI address of the simulator. and don't forget to start the simulator before downloading.

dante

what is ABCIT?
SFCs blocks reside into the S7 PLCs; they are not present in the Simatic manager project neither (means you do not have their code); suppose ABCIT is not a Siemens tool, so it can't simulate SFBs and SFCs.

dante

Another ideeas: Method 1: IF U have a MC card (not MMC), try the following: 1. power off the PLC. 2. remove the MC-card 3. power the plc on 4. perform a PLC reset 5. switch PLC off 6. plug in the MC card 7. power the PLC on 8. perform again a reset (program from MC card will be loaded into the PLC) ...

For the moment the only way to recover the password is to ask a guy from Germany, called Andi Rothenbacher who is able to do it.

dante

you have a problem with user archives.

dante

I am suggesting you to NOT play with that card. Make first - if possible - a backup of it and play with the backup.

dante

Great!!! It's working!!
Many tanks Sania, and you too PPP!!!

how it's working:
for WinCC v5:
1.open WinCC project
2. open gssc.exe from the folder v5
3. now the Global Script is running; you may freely open any password protected function.

Tested.Works.

dante

can U upload the program into your PC? If not, there is no way to modify it (or, only Siemens know how to do it); that case you have to ask the manufacturer for the program; after this you must compare the offline blocks with the online ones and ONLY if they are IDENTICAL you can proceed to perform ...

dante

Unfortunately not. I would also be interested in a way to unprotect WinCC functions. Can anybody help us?
Tks,

dante

I would do like this:
1. connect all 4 monitors to the the video card
2. set video card to see your desktop splitted over the 4 monitors
3. make the WinCC project
4. change it to runtime
5. watch the result on the 4 monitors.

dante

CFC has nothing special... it is only another way (graphic) to represent and/or generate blocks . Of course, there are slight differences, (blocks are compiled with SCL, blocks are not executed every PLC scan, etc), but you don't see that differences. You have only to download the charts into the PL...

dante

So, what's the problem? Make the project and test it; why do U need a demo?

dante

With Global Script you can draw your own scripts (in C only, not VB ). This functions can be called cyclic, on event or on demand, when you ask for them. Also U can use the included library or to import other scripts. There is nothing special if you can program C, if not, apply first for a C trainin...

dante

If U want to build a larger image (from 4 monitors) U need a video card supporting this feature.

dante

Did you set the MPI address of the OP?
Have you tried downloading the project through RS232 interface?

dante

OK, sorry for the delay... Here's the link for the IOserver; note you DO NOT need a DAS server (will be needed only with IAS, wich is not the case); the IO server is really what you need; you have a .pdf document included; hope there is no need for lincence (as I remember). The variabile format for ...

dante

what TP do you have? The pass is the one set on the ProTool project; the default value for this pass is 100 that means after a project download, the level 9 pass is 100; after this, you can change the pass from the TP and the old one is no longer valid. If U loose that pass, the way to get the contr...

dante

OK, it's a bit trikky. All electronics is integrated into the 15 pin connector; the power supply comes from the PLC port. if U have a look in the documentation will find: <<PG-UNI-Kabel • Couples the PC (9pol. COM-interface) with the 15 pole X4/X5 interface port of the plc • Galvanically separably t...

dante

the simplest way (for me) would be to use an IO server from Wonderware and watch the variabiles in Excel.
regards,

dante

You have to use scripting; archives in WinCC are not very easy, if you do not know C programming, forget it.
You have to search for a demo project and see how to connect, open and close an archive. The rest is up to you.

regards,

dante

If you R so new (dummy) with Simatic, it is a good ideea to avoid for some while the communication over Profibus; any way U can use SFC's for PLC-PLC data transfer over Profibus.

dante

Thanks alot Umencho, succeded to findout a working version on the link you provided. For those still looking for such tool, here's a new link (0.38M):

Link_is_Dead :(/63595152/SC130.rar

Pass:

no key needed.tested.works.

dante

No, it's not possible. (it is but will not work!!) There is a "special" hardware (current loops) on the S5 port, so you need a special serial adapter.
Unfortunatelly.

dante

Hi everybody,

Can somebody please upload version 1.3 of S7canopener or a working kygen for version 1.31?
Or, a clack for S7KnowHowManager; or some working prog to unprotect S7 blocks?
(no posted links are working)

thanks alot!
