Overview 02.97


02.97 Configuration


3 Configuration

The Standard B-GRACIS software is a standard operator environment for WF 721, WF 723 Aand WF 723 B positioning modules. It is particularly suited for operating and diagnostics of theaxes while the machine is running. The operator can modify and optimize the data, e.g. tooloffsets, or have the status of the axes displayed by means of the actual value display, anderrors, by means of the diagnostics mask.

Addition to that, however, the Standard B-GRACIS HPF offers the possibility to create, parallelto operating and diagnostics, data blocks while the machine is running or to transfer them to themodule, e.g. for a new workpiece. This reduces setup times.

Communication between the software products Standard B-GRACIS and Standard A is effectedvia one or two of the eight B&B applications. The overview shows the relations betweenhardware and software:

3.1 Hardware Configuration

3.1.1 GRACIS HPF

Visualization of WF 721, WF 723 A and WF 723 B modules is effected with Standard B-GRACIS via the GRACIS visualization system. GRACIS can be used locally and networked viaSINEC H1 or SINEC L2. GRACIS runs on GRACIS S5 hardware, GRACIS-OP hardware andGRACIS-PG. With one SIMATIC S5, up to 28 WF modules can be operated via Standard A undvisualized with Standard B-GRACIS.

3.2 Software Configuration

Communication between the SIMATIC S5 and the WF 721, WF 723 A and WF 723 Bpositioning modules is effected via the Standard A software. Using Standard A, a standardoperator environment with Standard B-GRACIS on the GRACIS visualization system isavailable. Standard B-GRACIS enables an operation close to the machine. It is designed forlocal use and full networkability. It does not require any additional processing capacity in theSIMATIC S5, i.e. no additional software in the SIMATIC S5.

Via the Standard A interface, several applications, such as Standard B-GRACIS or COM 723,can exchange data with the WF module. The planning engineer is responsible for the division ofthe applications. Standard B-GRACIS does not check for multiple occupation nor forsimultaneous access to the data of a WF module by several applications.

A combination of WF modules with Standard I software and WF moduleswith Standard A software in the same SIMATIC S5 is not authorized. Theresponsibility for that lies with the user.

Configuration 02.97


3.3 Data Structure

Data exchange or data requests are effected in WF 721, WF 723 A and WF 723 B modules viacommands. If the WF module receives, for example, a command for reading machine data, thiscommand is processed independently by the WF module. The software Standard A provides fordata exchange with the WF modules. Standard A transfers signals and data to the WF moduleor fetches signals and data from there and enters them in the user interface. Large dataquantities are segmented by the WF module, so that even large data quantities can easily betransferred to or from the WF module. A user program, in this case Standard B-GRACIS, doesnot have to organize the data transfer, as this is done by the WF module, which also stores thedata in a place defined in the command.

Standard B-GRACIS controls screen selection, keyboard inputs as well as command processingwith the WF modules via Standard A software. Communication between Standard A softwareand Standard B-GRACIS is effected via GRACIS.

Via Standard A, several user applications, such as Standard B-GRACIS, Standard B-470 orcustomer-specific S5 applications, and data can be exchanged with WF modules via a userinterface.

Standard B-GRACIS does not check for simultaneous access to the data of aWF module by several applications.

3.4 Standard B-GRACIS Components

3.4.1 GRACIS LPF

Standard B-GRACIS LPF is part of the GRACIS firmware and requires screen and text lists,which have to be stored in the part project 254 of the active GRACIS system.

Memory requirements:

Screen lists about 75 kB

Text lists about 35 kB

For the languages German and English, the Standard B-GRACIS LPF diskette contains one setof text lists each.

3.4.2 GRACIS HPF

Standard B-GRACIS HPF is a GRACIS option, consisting of three components:

• GRACIS applications for– operating, diagnostics and data management– data supply

• Screen lists• Text lists in the respective language (German, English, French, Italian)

In addition to these three components, Standard B-GRACIS HPF requires two data blocks forscreen processing and the data to be configured with Standard B-GRACIS HPF. The datablocks are set up by Standard B-GRACIS HPF upon first program start under GRACIS. Thedata block for the data to be configured is stored in the master drive. The data block for screenprocessing is an RDB.

For a GRACIS-PG, the user must open/activate the RAM disk via systemsetting/driver under FlexOS.

Memory requirements:

GRACIS application 23STB21B.286 about 225 kB

GRACIS application 23STB21V.286 about 152 kB

Screen and text lists, German about 250 kB

4.3 Multiprocessing

In the multiprocessing mode, a certain central processor is assigned to one or more WFmodule(s). It is illegal to address a WF module from different central processors. The maximumnumber of 28 WF modules depends on the address and is valid for the entire programmablelogic controller. The number does not increase when several central processors are used. Anassignment of the 28 WF modules to the various central processors is not fixed.

Installation and Functioning 02.97


4.4 Communication

Communication between Standard B-GRACIS and the WF module is effected on the GRACIShardware via the GRACIS data request system GRADAS, and in the SIMATIC S5, via theStandard A software. Standard B-GRACIS writes via GRADAS and reads from the blocks of theStandard A software.

• In the local GRACIS system, communication is effected– either through a CP interface, i.e. the GRACIS S5 module and the WF positioning module

are in the same SIMATIC S5 control– or through the PG interface AS511, when using Standard B-GRACIS on the GRACIS-PG

or GRACIS-OP

• In a networked GRACIS system, communication is effected via the SINEC H1 or L2 bussystem.

Communication is a prerequiste, as a component of GRACIS (see GRACIS installationinstructions part 2 SIMATIC S5 interface).

4.5 Installation of GRACIS LPF

The Standard B-GRACIS LPF option is stored on a diskette:

• Screen lists

• Text list (one set of text lists is available for each language)

You need in addition:

• Standard A software

• GRACIS basic software package 1.5 "planning LPF" or "planning HPF" (see GRACISdocumentation)

• Standard handling blocks for the coupling between GRACIS and S5-CPU via page frames,for CP 470 only (see GRACIS documentation: Technical description LPF).

4.5.1 Installation of Standard A Software

Install Standard A software with the corresponding data blocks DB-WF and DB-ZU. The datablock DB-archives is not needed.

Indicate the data blocks in the Standard B-GRACIS LPF screen "planning" in text lists.

4.5.2 Setup of the Application Data Block

For communication with Standard A software, Standard B-GRACIS LPF requires one DB-APapplication data block. Install the data block in full length (256 data words). Indicate the freelyselectable data block number in the Standard B-GRACIS LPF screen "planning".

The DB-AP data block can be fixed, depending on the application, per module or for all modulesof one GRACIS LPF system.



4.5.3 Installation of Standard B-GRACIS LPF Software

Copy the screen and text lists to the part project 254 of the GRACIS system loaded on theprocess operation hardware. The list numbers must not be changed.

The part project number 254 is compulsory and must not be changed. Thelist numbers must not be changed.

The following screen lists are required:• PBL230 Jump to Standard B• PBL231 Selection of units• PBL232 Operating and diagnostics• PBL233 Machine data• PBL234 Program input• PBL235 Info program• PBL236 MDI/Setup• PBL237 Actual value• PBL238 Configuration I• PBL239 Tool offset• PBL240 Diagnostics• PBL241 IBS positioning• PBL242 Parameters• PBL243 MDI following mask• PBL244 Actual value WF723B

The following text lists are required (one set of text lists is available for each language):• TXL 4n Messages: messages output by Standard B• TXL 5n Project file: this file must be planned by you (see chapter 4.5.4)• TXL 6n Standard B fixed texts: texts for the legend of the screens• TXL 7n Signification of MADA: signification of machine data• TXL 8n Display error data traffic: error messages of the WF module• TXL 9n Parameter: signification of the parameters of the WF 723 B• TXL10n Diagnosis traversing error: error messages of the WF module

n=1: Text list in Germann=2: Text list in English

The following limit-value text lists are required:• TXL200 721__qq.PRG: limit values of the program data for WF 721 Vq.q• TXL201 721__qq.PRG: limit values of the program data for WF 721 Vq.q• TXL202 723A_qq.PRG: limit values of the program data for WF 723 A Vq.q• TXL203 723B_qq.PRG: limit values of the program data for WF 723 B Vq.q• TXL204 723B_qq.PRG: limit values of the program data for WF 723 B Vq.q

The limit-value text lists need only be loaded for those modules actually existing in the targetsystem. Make sure that the text lists with the limit values are stored consecutively, starting fromTXL200. In the text lists for the limit values, the list number may be changed, the list name mustnot be changed.

Example: If you do not use a WF 721 version 2.0, you can delete the text list 200 with the name721_20.PRG, but you have to assign other list numbers to the following text lists, so that startingfrom TXL200, limit-value text lists are available again.



To integrate Standard B-GRACIS LPF into your project, you have to plan the selection of theStandard B-GRACIS screen "BASE SCREEN" (active field) into the screen from which you wantto call the Standard B-GRACIS LPF software.

If you want to lock the Standard B screens against unauthorized access, you must plan a key-operated switch in the active field with which the Standard B "BASE SCREEN" is selected.

The screen and text lists are not locked against modifications/extensionwith GRACIS planning software. The functionality of Standard B-GRACISLPF is only guaranteed in the delivered state.

4.5.4 Planning of Standard B-GRACIS LPF Software

4.6.2 Setup of the Application Data Block

For communication with Standard A software, Standard B-GRACIS HPF requires one or twoDB-AP data blocks. Install the data blocks in full length (256 data words). Indicate the freelyselectable data block numbers in the Standard B-GRACIS screen "planning".

The data blocks DB-AP can be fixed, depending on the application, per module or for allmodules. With two DB-AP data blocks and two Standard A applications, the branchesoperating/diagnostics and supply can be operated parallelly.



4.6.3 Installation of Standard B-GRACIS HPF Software

CAUTION Different versions of GRACIS and GRAPI list will cause a system crash.Therefore, before installing the GRAPI list, adapt the corresponding file.Call the corresponding batch file (VER_14.BAT for GRACIS V1.4, VER-15.BAT for GRACIS V1.5) on the diskette. After installation of the GRAPIlist, you have to restart the system.

• Read-in the screen and text lists with GRACIS part project number 253 into your GRACISproject and system. Project and system codes of screen and text lists are freelydeterminable (see GRACIS planning instructions part 2).

The part project number 253 is compulsory and must not be changed. If thepart project number 253 exists already, delete it beforehand.

For installing the Standard B-GRACIS HPF software, select the base screen GRACIS planningbase package.

• You have to plan the selection of the Standard B screen "base screen" in the screen of yoursystem/machine operator environment from where you want to call Standard B-GRACIS.When leaving the Standard B-GRACIS software via the base screen, the last user screenprocessed by you will be displayed. Selection and deselection of user screens can beeffected via the screen change and screen deselection function (see GRACIS planning).

• If you want to lock the Standard B screens against unauthorized access, you must plan apassword input in the screen from which the Standard B screen "base screen" is selected(see GRACIS Planning Guide part 2).

Screen and text lists are not blocked against modifications/extensions withGRACIS planning basic software. The functionality of Standard B-GRACIS isonly guaranteed in the delivered state.

5 Operation

5.1 GRACIS Visualization System

Visualization, data management and data supply of the WF 721, WF 723 A and WF 723 B ofunits, e.g. in transfer lines and revolving machines, are effected via the GRACIS visualizationsystem. It enables in local and networked GRACIS systems in connection with Standard B-GRACIS easy operator guidance, safe operation monitoring, fast fault diagnosis and quick toolchange. In addition, the Standard B-GRACIS HPF software offers functions like datamanagement and data supply as well as networking possibilities.

For further information about the GRACIS visualization system, seecatalog AR10 (order No. E86060-K6310-A101-A5).

If you want to lock the Standard B screens against unauthorized access, you can plan apassword input in the screen from which the Standard B screen "base screen" is called. You canalso lock individual operating paths within Standard B-GRACIS by password input, by planning akey-operated switch in the active fields under the text fields F1 to F7.

The WF modules of the units are easily operated via Standard B-GRACIS, i.e. all WF data candirectly be input in the WF 721, WF 723 A or WF 723 B and checked (operating function). Theoperator presets a machine unit/logical axis, and not the associated module number and, ifnecessary, the hardware axis. The allocation of unit/PLC/WF module/hardware axis isdetermined once by the user in the planning phase. By means of a job list, the WF data can betransferred, retransferred and managed (management/supply function in Standard B-GRACISHPF).

The Standard B-GRACIS software indicates faults in each screen. In a diagnosis screen, thefaults are explained in plain text concerning their type, location and cause.

In principle, Standard B-GRACIS serves for operating and diagnostics of WF 721, WF 723 Aand WF 723 B modules. In standard version, it does not offer any machine control functions;these have to be implemented by the user himself.

For a detailed description of the WF 721, WF 723 A and WF 723 Bfunctions, see the description of functions/programming instructions,where traversing blocks and machine data and their units are alsoexplained.

Operation 02.97


General hints:

For operating and data input, you need the function keys F1 to F8, the numeric keypad, thealpha keys and the following special keys:

l Direction keys

l Accept key

Position the cursor with the direction keys in the corresponding field, enter the desired data andpress the accept key. Only after pressing the accept key will the data entered in a field be takenover.

You can correct a value already entered by overwriting it and pressing the accept key. In the"operating/diagnostics" branch, the entries or corrections are directly transferred to the WFmodule by means of the Accept key.

5.2 Screen Division of the Monitor

Each screen is divided into three areas:

Screen header It contains the most important message fields, the screendesignation and the selected unit with the associated axes.

Display andprocessing part

It serves for output and input of the WF data.

Screen footer It contains a message line, in Standard B-GRACIS LPF in addition asystem message line and the softkey bar.

5.5 Screens of the Function Package Operating and Diagnostics

5.5.1 General Operating Hints

By means of Standard B-GRACIS, you easily operate the WF modules of the units. You caninput the data of the WF modules and have them displayed. The data do not contain anycomments, as you are in direct dialog with the data in the WF module. For further informationabout data types, their meaning and input possibilities, please see the functional descriptionsand tables of WF 721, WF 723 A and WF 723 B.

Select the unit via the "ident." input field in the screen header. If you make an illegal input orenter a question mark, the screen "unit selection" will be displayed with the list of the alreadyplanned units (see chapter 5.6). With the cursor, you can then select one of the units.

Select axis-specific data via the "axis" input field in the screen header. The possible axisdesignation(s) was (were) assigned to the unit during planning, see "planning" screen or, forStandard B-GRACIS LPF, chapter 4.5.4. If depending on the data of the WF module type noaxis selection is necessary, the input field "axis" will not be displayed.

Status and fault indication in the field "(Standard A status message)" is only effected when datainput is active.

The screens of the function package operating and diagnostics of StandardB-GRACIS LPF and Standard B-GRACIS HPF only differ by the additionalsystem message line in Standard B-GRACIS LPF (see chapter 5.4). There-fore, in chapter 5.5, only the screens for Standard B-GRACIS HPF areshown.

Scrolling theunit list

Jump to start or endof the unit list

You select the uniton which you havepositioned the cursor

You select the unit via the input field "unit selection" in the screen header by means of an illegalinput or a question mark. All units to which communication is disturbed are displayed on a redbackground. A unit to which communication is disturbed cannot be selected.

The unit selection of Standard B-GRACIS LPF and Standard B-GRACIS HPFonly differs by the additional system message line inStandard B-GRACIS LPF (see chapter 5.4). Therefore, in chapter 5.6, onlythe screen for Standard B-GRACIS HPF is shown.

5.7 Screens of the Function Package Management(for Standard B-GRACIS HPF only)


For the manufacture of workpieces, you easily manage via "Standard B-GRACIS: managementfunction package" the data of the WF modules of the units and the job lists for the data supplyfunction package. Data of the WF modules are: machine data, programs, parameters, tooloffsets and operating data. For data types and their meaning, please see the functionaldescriptions, tables, and the programming instructions for WF 721, WF 723 A and WF 723 B.

The data are managed independently of the WF modules and the axes. Each data type ismanaged under its own path (processing branch). Each data block of a data type, e.g. aprogram, the machine data of an axis or the parameters, are filed under an 11-digit identificationin a machine file freely selectable according to DOS conventions. It is preset in the planningscreen. The structures of machine file, data types (processing branches) and data blocks areidentical with those of the COM 723 package, as from version 2.0.

The data are assigned to the units via job lists.

The organization of the Standard B-GRACIS software is unit-related andthat of the COM 723 software V2.0, module-related. Therefore, the "job list"data blocks are not compatible.

The ASCII editor implemented in Standard B-GRACIS HPF offers the following functions:

F1 Saving the data block. When the name has been changed, the function "save as" isrealized

F2 Checking the data block for syntax errors and the exceeding of input limitsF3 Importing ASCII filesF4 Exporting ASCII filesF5 Printing the data blockF6 Choosing the module typeF7 Choosing the limit-value tableF8 Abortion and exiting the ASCII editor

After pressing the function key F1, you have to input a password (password determination, seechapter 5.10).

In case of a new machine or parameter data block, a default setting with standard comments isoutput. Enter the data blocks of all data types (processing branches) in a free block format. Eachdata block consists of several blocks. Put comments in parentheses.

The data must be set up as follows (x: e.g. parameter number; y: value):

Machine data MDx=y

5.8 Screens of the Function Package Supply(for Standard B-GRACIS HPF only)


For the manufacture of different workpieces, you easily supply via "Standard B-GRACIS: supplyfunction package" the WF modules of the units with data: machine data, programs, parameters,tool offsets and operating data. In addition, you can transfer these data from the WF modules tothe management of Standard B-GRACIS HPF or delete data in the WF modules of the units.

By one or more job lists, you preset: Which data have to be transferred into which WF modulesof the units, from which WF modules of the units data have to be transferred to the managementor in which WF modules of the units data have to be deleted. For data types and their meaning,please see the functional descriptions, tables, and the programming instructions for WF 721, WF723 A and WF 723 B.

Choose a job list from the job list directory and start processing it. Via the "status of data supply"screen, you can have the status of the activated job lists displayed and modify job lists which arenot yet completely executed or not processed. Job lists correctly processed are automaticallydeleted from the job list directory.

If you plan two applications for Standard B-GRACIS HPF, operating anddiagnostics will remain active during job processing, so that you cansupply the WF modules with data and at the same time operate themodules.

Scrolling function for PLC, WF module and unit

Operation 02.97


General data:

• Customer name and machine designation are valid for the entire system and are displayedin the screens "base screen", "operating and diagnostics", "management", "data blockprocessing", "data supply", and "status of data supply".

• The name of the machine file must be input completely, including drive designation anddirectory. The complete path name can comprise up to 25 digits. The path name is fixed at"M:/GRAOPT" or "A:/GRAOPT". The machine file with extension *.700 can be furtherprocessed by the COM 723 software.

• For Standard B-GRACIS HPF, only one form of communication can be selected.

• For the function F1 Store in the ASCII editor, a password is determined.

When the form of communication is changed, all data already planned willbe lost. Because of the password determination for the ASCII editor, the"Planning" screen should also be locked by password input (see chapter4.6.3 and GRACIS planning guide Part 2).

PLC-related data:

• The number in the input field "PLC No." refers to a programmable logic controller. Thenumber can have values between 1 and 99. Up to 12 PLC’s can be planned. In the screens"base screen" and "diagnostics - positioning", this number can be selected, in the otherscreens it is displayed in the header.

• The node number is determined by the GRACIS system (see GRACIS manual). It is neededfor communication with the PLC. If "local" was selected, node number 000 will automaticallybe chosen.

• Number of CPU’s to which WF 721 / WF 723 A / WF 723 B modules are assigned.– If "SINEC L2" or "serial" was selected, the CPU number 1 will automatically be chosen.– If "local" or "SINEC H1" was selected, up to 4 CPU's can be indicated for one PLC,

depending on the PLC type.

• Indicate a DB-ZU data block for each CPU of the PLC. The number of the DB-ZU is fixedupon installation of the Standard A software. Entry of the value 0 deselects the data block.

• With a PLC, only a Standard A software version may be used. If the Standard A software isversion 1.x, enter a 1 in the input field, otherwise, no entry is required.

Versions 1.x and 2.x of the Standard A software must not be usedsimultaneously in a PLC. Non-observance will lead to a faulty sequence offunctions of the Standard B-GRACIS HPF software.

02.97 Operation


WF-related data:

• The WF number can have values between 1 and 28, when a Standard A software version≥ 2.0 is used. The WF number is fixed upon installation of the Standard A software. It isentered in the "planning" screen and displayed in the "configuration" screen.

• A planned CPU number is assigned to the WF module.

• The number of the DB-AP data block is fixed upon installation of the Standard A software.

• Standard B-GRACIS HPF can be operated with one or two applications. The applicationnumbers can have values between 1 and 8 (see planning instructions, interface description,of the Standard A software).

Please make sure that the application numbers are not used for furtherapplications, e.g. COM 723 or user-specific. Standard B-GRACIS does notcheck for multiple occupation.

Unit-related data:

• A unit is related to an NC channel: one WF 721, one to three axes of a WF 723 A or oneWF 723 B. The unit is assigned a maximally 6-digit alphanumeric character string foridentification.

• The axis (axes) of a unit must be designated with a sign. The axis designations are used inthe screens for axis selection and output in the corresponding screens. The possible axisdesignations are listed in the screen.

• The unit can be provided with a maximally 25-digit station/unit designation. The station/unitdesignation is displayed in the screens "operating and diagnostics" and "unit selection".

You can only leave the screen after complete entry of a unit.
