Introduction

Your requirements

Do you want to bring new products quickly onto the mar-ket? And at the same time be flexible and in a position to change your product range at short notice and shorten your time-to market? Do you want to be able to manufac-ture efficiently at low costs? And at the same time optimize the capacity of your plant/machine and minimize possible downtimes?Then all the machines in your plant should work together perfectly. Therefore, rely upon open, integrated automa-tion communication not just within the whole company but also for external communication. Avoid isolated auto-mation and information technology solutions by assuring:

• A seamless flow of information from the actuator/sensor level through to the corporate management level

• Availability of information at any location• High-speed data exchange between the different plant

sections• Easy, plant-wide configuration and efficient

diagnostics• Integrated security functions that prevent unauthorized

access• Fail-safe and standard communication via the same

connection

The advantages of Totally Integrated Automation already pay off as regards design and engineering, but also assem-bly and commissioning and operation and maintenance.

Automation solutions can be implemented at little cost. New scope for development allows a quicker and more flexible response to new market requirements.Systems can be easily expanded or converted without having to interrupt ongoing operations.

Thanks to the increased use of Industrial Ethernet in auto-mation all the way down to the field level, the following topics within Totally Integrated Automation are becoming more and more important: • PROFINET, including failsafe communication

PROFIsafe• Industrial Wireless Communication with GSM/GPRS,

IWLAN and WirelessHART• Industrial security concepts, e.g. with SCALANCE S

PROFINET ...for increasing the productivity of your plant

You need a seamless information flow for your strategic decisions within your company – from the first manufac-turing step through operation up to the corporate manage-ment level. In order to achieve this, you rely on efficiency and transparency already during engineering.

PROFINET, the open and innovative Industrial Ethernet standard fulfils all the demands of industrial automation and ensures integrated, company-wide communication.

PROFINET supports the direct connection of distributed field devices to Industrial Ethernet and the solution of isochronous Motion Control applications. PROFINET also allows distributed automation with the support of com-ponent technology, as well as vertical integration and the solution of safety-oriented applications. PROFINET also supports controller-controller communication.

Wirelessly networked with Industrial Wireless Commu-nication – the future of industrial communication has begun

The key to market success lies in the provision and avail-ability of information, no matter when or where you need it. With Industrial Wireless Communication, the efficiency processes can be significantly improved. The primary of benefit of wireless solutions is the simple and flexible availability of mobile or hard to access stations.

The use of wireless communication to automation devices helps to achieve greater flexibility. As a result, it is possible to simplify maintenance work, reduce service costs and downtimes and optimize the utilization of personnel. With Safety, even fail-safe communication is possible via a wire-less network. This increases a company’s competitiveness considerably.

Industrial Security – playing safe

Due to its widespread use in industrial automation, Ethernet offers numerous advantages in terms of costs and productivity, but also makes greater demands in terms of IT security. Industrial plants must be protected with appropriate industrial solutions. The “cell protection con-cept” represents the basis for this. This is implemented using the industrial security product SCALANCE S. The con-cept is supplemented by numerous security mechanisms in the automation and communication modules that look after access protection, secure authentication and encryp-tion of data, for example.

Industrial Ethernet/PROFINETIndustrial Ethernet

Industrial Ethernet offers a powerful area and cell network conforming to IEEE 802.3 (ETHERNET) and IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/h (Wireless LAN) for industrial applica-tions. Ethernet is the basic Internet technology for world-wide networking.

The numerous various options of the intranet, Extranet and Internet that are already available today in the office sector can also be used in factory and process automation by means of the Industrial Ethernet.Ethernet technology has been successfully used for many years for switching, Industrial Wireless LAN and security and gives users the opportunity to adapt the required per-formance precisely to the requirements in their network. The user can select a data rate of 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s or 1000 Mbit/s, depending on their needs, as integrated com-patibility makes it possible to introduce new technology in stages.

Ethernet offers important advantages:

• Fast commissioning thanks to a simple connection tech-nology

• High availability, as existing plants can be expanded without any side effects

• Virtually unlimited communication capabilities, since scalable performance using switching technology and high data rates are available if required

• Networking of many different applications such as of-fice and production applications

• Company-wide communication due to interface options via WAN (Wide Area Network) technology such as ISDN or the Internet

• Precise time-based assignment of events in the overall plant by means of plant-wide clock control.

• Flexibility due to wireless expansion using Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN)

SIMATIC NET relies on this proven technology. Siemens has established well over two million connections worldwide in tough industrial environments subject to electromagnetic interference.

SIMATIC NET provides important supplements to Ethernet technology for industrial environments:• Network components for use in harsh industrial environ-

ments• Fast local assembly using the FastConnect cabling sys-

tem for electrical and optical cabling• Failsafe networks due to high-speed redundancy

and redundant power supply • Continuous monitoring of network components by

means of a simple yet effective signaling concept• Future-proof network components for switching

(SCALANCE X), Industrial Wireless LAN (SCALANCE W) and Security (SCALANCE S)

• Gigabit communication at the control level for large amounts of data, e.g. WinCC, web applications, multi-media applications, etc.

• Network separation, e.g. by means of CP 443-1 Advanced

Communication functions/services

PG/OP communicationComprises integrated communication functions which allow data communication via SIMATIC, SIMOTION and SINUMERIK automation systems with every HMI device and SIMATIC PG (STEP 7), also beyond network boundaries (S7 Routing).

S7 communicationS7 communication is the integrated communication func-tion (System Function Block) for S7-400 or loadable func-tion blocks for S7-300, that have been optimized within SIMOTION, SINUMERIK and SIMATIC S7/WinAC. It also en-ables PCs and workstations to be connected.The S7 communication provides simple, powerful and net-work-independent communication services.

Open communicationOpen communication permits communication between the SIMATIC S7 controllers and other SIMATIC S7-, SIMATIC S5 controllers, PCs/IPCs and third-party systems. CPs support open communication by means of the SEND/ RECEIVE function blocks. CPUs with an integral PROFINET interface use T-blocks for the open communication.For the simple connection of HMI stations, FETCH and WRITE are offered.

Database Server

Socket interface for Industrial Ethernetallows data communication with computers via TCP/IP. On this interface which is widespread in the PC and UNIX world, users can freely program the data exchange. In the SIMATIC S7 and SIMATIC TDC, the SEND/RECEIVE blocks are used as an access to TCP/IP.

OPC (Openness, Productivity & Collaboration)is a standardized, open, vendor-independent interface. This permits the connection of OPC-capable Windows applications to S7-communication, open communication (SEND/RECEIVE) and SNMP.

Industrial Ethernet

Information technology (IT) with e-mail, FTP and web technology

integrates SIMATIC, SIMOTION and SINUMERIK into the information technology via Industrial Ethernet. In the of-fice environment, e-mail and web browsers have prevailed as widespread means of communication. The file transfer protocol (FTP) permits simple, universal coupling, e.g. PLCs can be connected to various computers or embedded sys-tems. Ethernet is used as the main communication route, in addition to telephone cables and the Internet.

Other servicesMedia redundancy with MRPIn the standard IEC 61158 Type 10 this procedure is specified for increasing the network availability in a ring topology. Clock synchronizationBy means of the SIMATIC procedure or NTP (Network Time Protocol), plant-wide time synchronization is achieved.SNMPSNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a stan-dardized protocol for the transport of network manage-ment information that has been specifically designed for administration of TCP/IP networks. The individual nodes in the network (network components or data terminals) are equipped with an SNMP agent that provides information in structured form. By means of this access to device informa-tion, for example, it is possible to implement a network visualization, system diagnosis or the monitoring of plant states.

Vertical integration

For the vertical integration, i.e. the consistent communica-tion from the field level up to the management level (ERP/MES), not only network separation, but also the option of the direct coupling of controllers to the management level is available.

Network separationThe network infrastructure enables two completely inde-pendent IP subnetworks to be constructed. This in turn enables a selective decoupling of the load to be achieved in the network or the different responsibilities within an enterprise (e.g. office and production network) to be con-trolled.Via a defined interface, selective communication between the subnetworks is possible.

ERP interface Based on TCP/IP, a universal database interface is made available via the communications processor CP 343-1 ERPC which supports the database applications of ORACLE, MySQL, MS-SQL, DB2 by means of partner software. To a large extent, the CP processes the protocol autono-mously, thereby removing the burden of memory-intensive function blocks from the CPU.The necessary parameter settings, e.g. of which data area on the CPU is transferred to the database, are performed with a simple PC tool belonging to the partner software.

When combined, the current Industrial Ethernet technolo-gies can boost performance in the network by a factor of 50 and more in comparison with the original 10 Mbit/s technology. These technologies are:

• Fast Ethernet at 100 Mbit/s: Messages are transported much faster than Ethernet

at 10 Mbit/s and therefore only occupy the bus for an extremely short time.

• Gigabit Ethernet with 1 Gbit/s: Gigabit Ethernet is faster than Fast Ethernet by a fac-

tor of 10, the bus is occupied for only one tenth of the time.

• Full duplex prevents collisions: The data throughput increases enormously because the

usual message repetitions are avoided. Data can be sent and received simultaneously between two stations. The data throughput for a full-duplex connection therefore rises to 200 Mbit/s with Fast Ethernet and to 2 Gbit/s with Gigabit Ethernet. With full duplex, a greater exten-sion of the network is possible. This means, for example, that when glass fiber-optic cables of 50/125 µm are used, distances of up to 26 km can be achieved.

• Switching supports parallel communication: When a network is subdivided into several segments

using a switch, this results in load separation. Data communication is possible in each individual segment independently of the other segments. In the overall net-work, several message frames can therefore be en-route simultaneously. The performance gain is due to the simultaneity of several message frames.

• Autocrossover automatically crosses the send and re-ceive cables on twisted pair interfaces.

• Autosensing describes the characteristic of network nodes (data terminals and network components) that automatically detect the transmission rate of a signal (10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s or 1 Gbit/s) and support auto-negotiation.

• Autonegotiation is a configuration protocol in Fast Ethernet. Before the actual data transfer the devices on the network agree a transfer mode that each partici-pating device can master (1000 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s or 10 Mbit/s, full or half duplex)

• Gigabit cabling system The 8-wire FastConnect cabling system of SIMATIC NET

with cables, plugs and outlets supports transmission rates of up to 1 Gbit/s.

Network infrastructure

Network Topologies

Network topologies are oriented toward the requirements of the devices to be networked. The commonest topolo-gies include star, line, tree and ring structures. In practice, however, plants usually consist of a mixture of topologies. These can be implemented not only with copper cabling, but also with fiber-optic (FO) cables. Glass fiber-optic cables are used for long distances. The FastConnect system enables users to assemble both copper and glass fiber-optic cables themselves. Plastic fiber-optic cables such as polymer optic fibers (POF) or polymer cladded glass fibers (PCF) are an easy, do-it-your-self alternative for short distances. Industrial Ethernet switches and media converters, as well as distributed field devices with integral POF / PCF interfaces are available for PROFINET.

StarThe characteristic feature of the star topology is a central switch with individual connections to all terminals in the network. Applications for star structures include areas with a high device density and short distances, for example small production cells or a single production machine.

TreeThe tree structure arises from the connection of several stars to create one network – possibly combining fiber-optic and twisted pair cabling. This structure is used when dividing complex plants into subsystems.

LineThe linear topology can be implemented by a switch near to the terminal device to be connected – or by a switch that is integrated into the terminal device. A line topology is preferred in plants with an extensive configuration, e.g. conveyor systems and for connecting production cells.

RingIf the two ends of a line are connected by means of an ad-ditional connection, a ring topology is created. This is used in plants with higher availability requirements to provide protection in the event of a cable break or the failure of a network component. This media redundancy is made possible by implementing the media redundancy protocol (MRP) in controllers, devices and network components and guarantees reconfiguration times of 200 ms.

Cabling system

For quick and error-free installation or changes on site, with FastConnect, Siemens has developed a sophisti-cated quick-assembly system of cables, plug-in connec-tors and assembly tools. FastConnect is available for Industrial Ethernet/PROFINET and PROFIBUS, for RJ45, M12 or sub-D/RS485. FastConnect components are also avail-able for fiber-optic cables (BFOC and SC-duplex) of up to 3 km in length.

Industrial Ethernet switching components

The communication network is of the utmost importance for automation solutions. With SIMATIC NET, Siemens of-fers Industrial Ethernet switching components for structur-ing networked machines and plants, and for integrating into the overall corporate network. A graded portfolio of switches (CSM, SCALANCE X) in various designs and also of communications processors with integral switch enables optimum solutions for all types of switching tasks, and not only in harsh industrial environments.

Different topologies such as line, ring or star offer wide-ranging possibilities, e.g. when implementing a production line or manufacturing cell.

Extremely fast reconfiguration of the network in a ring fol-lowing an error is indispensable for industrial applications, because the connected data terminals will otherwise dis-connect logical communication links. This would result in a process running out of control or emergency shutdown of the plant. In order to achieve the very fast reaction times required, various standardized procedures are used.

Simple and quick installation with FastConnect

In addition to the possibility of configuring and diagnosing SCALANCE X switches in STEP 7, they provide optimized data transmission of the PROFINET real-time messages by means of prioritization.

Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN)

Thanks to wireless communication with programmable controllers, even greater flexibility is achieved, mainte-nance work is simplified, and service and standstill times reduced. The IWLAN solution from Siemens Industry makes these advantages available through a coordinated portfolio of WLAN equipment for industrial use, even for fail-safe communication in the context of operator and machine safety. This includes IWLAN access points and client mod-ules (SCALANCE W), wireless interfaces for PROFIBUS and distributed I/O, mobile operator panels, planning software, and extensive accessories.

Industrial Security

By integrating into the corporate network, the increased wired and wireless networking of industrial plants enables a degree of integration and openness that provides many benefits such as remote access to plant sections over the Internet. However, this also results in certain risks with regard to data security. With its industrial security concept, Siemens offers a safety solution specially designed for in-dustrial automation engineering that satisfies the specific requirements of this application environment.The security modules (SCALANCE S) and software are easy to handle, and reaction-free integration into existing net-working concepts is possible.

PROFINET is the innovative and open Industrial Ethernet standard (IEC 61158/61784) for industrial automation. With PROFINET, devices can be linked up from the field level through to the MES level. PROFINET enables system-wide communication, supports plant-wide engineering and uses the IT standards right down to the field level.

Fieldbus systems such as PROFIBUS can be easily inte-grated without any modification of existing devices. PROFINET takes account of the following aspects:

Real-time communication

PROFINET is based on Industrial Ethernet and uses the standard TCP/IP (Transport Control Protocol/Internet Proto-col) for parameterization, configuration and diagnostics. Real-time communication for the transmission of user/pro-cess data is performed on the same line. PROFINET devices can support the following real-time properties:

Real time (RT)Real-Time (RT) is used for time-critical process data – i.e. for cyclical user data or event-controlled alarms. For real-time requirements in automation, PROFINET uses an optimized real-time communication channel. This mini-mizes throughput times and accelerates process data updates. The performance exceeds that of conventional fieldbuses and allows response times in the microsecond range. The processor performance required in the device is significantly reduced at the same time. RT is the real-time communication for standard applications in order to connect field devices, e.g. distributed peripherals and drives, or implement distributed automation structures with PROFINET CBA.

PROFINET with distributed field devices

Isochronous Real-Time (IRT):For especially challenging applications, there is the hard-ware-supported real-time communication Isochronous Real-Time (IRT) – for such things as motion control applica-tions and high-performance applications in factory auto-mation.With IRT, a cycle time of up to 250 μs with a jitter (syn-chronization accuracy) of less than 1 μs is achieved. To this end, the communication cycle is split by means of band-width reservation into a deterministic part and an open part and is presented to the other nodes in the network by a Sync-Master. The cyclical IRT message frames are sent in the deterministic interval and TCP/IP communication takes places in the open interval. Thus, both data transmissions exist side-by-side without interfering with each other.

Thanks to the IRT functionality, some SIMATIC controllers with an integrated PROFINET interface can also handle high-speed processes. For example, process data and stan-dard Ethernet data can be sent in a network with large volumes of data (e.g. Voice over IP) without affecting the process data. In addition, machine/system structures with linear interconnection can be made up of many stations, which nevertheless have a short updating time.

ERTEC (Enhanced Real-Time Ethernet Controller)The ASIC family of ERTEC supports PROFINET real-time communication (RT and IRT) and it is the basic technology for integrated system solutions with PROFINET. The ERTEC 400 is integrated in controllers and network components and the ERTEC 200 is integrated in simple field devices (I/Os, drives). Development Kits and Com-petence Centers support the user in developing his own devices.

Distributed field devices (PROFINET IO)

PROFINET enables distributed field devices (I/O devices such as signal modules) to be integrated directly in Indus-trial Ethernet. During configuration with STEP 7, these field devices are assigned to a central controller (IO Controller). Existing modules or devices can continue to be used with PROFINET-compatible interfaces or links, thereby safe-guarding investments already made by PROFIBUS or AS-Interface users. A configuration with standard and failsafe modules in one station is also possible.

An IO Supervisor serves HMI and diagnostics purposes – as on PROFIBUS – using hierarchical diagnostics dialogs (over-view and detailed diagnostics). The user data is transferred by means of TCP/IP or IT standards. The simple engineering field-proven with PROFIBUS was adopted for PROFINET.

From the viewpoint of programming with STEP 7 there is no difference between PROFIBUS and PROFINET when ac-cessing an I/O device. Users can thus very easily configure field devices on Industrial Ethernet on the basis of the know-how acquired with PROFIBUS.

By retaining the device model of PROFIBUS, the same diag-nostics information is available on PROFINET. As well as de-vice diagnostics, module-specific and channel-specific data can also be read out from the devices, enabling simple and fast location of faults.

Alongside the star, tree and ring topologies, PROFINET also supports the line topology shaped by established field bus-es. By integrating switch functionality into the devices, for example as with the S7-300 with CP 343-1 Lean, CP 343-1, or the SIMATIC ET 200S, ET 200M or ET 200pro distributed field devices, line topologies that are oriented around the machine or plant structure can be formed. This results in savings in cabling overhead and cuts down on components such as external switches. In addition to the products with degree of protection IP20, a complete portfolio is available for IP65, such as the ET 200pro field device or the SCALANCE X208PRO switch.

Fieldbus integration via a proxy

Moving towards the green factory: PROFIenergy

PROFIenergy is a profile that provides functions and mechanisms for PROFINET field devices that sup-port energy-efficient production. The cross-vendor profile defined by the PNO is independent of devices and enables the user to reduce energy consumption and costs significantly: PROFIenergy enables specific loads that are not required to be switched off. This noticeably reduces energy costs during pauses in production. PROFIenergy facilitates automated ac-tivation and deactivation of technologically related plant sections. The coordination is performed cen-trally by means of a higher-level controller, and the networking via PROFINET. This means that during long pauses, as much energy as possible is saved. Plant sections that are switched off for short periods contribute to the even distribution and most effi-cient use of energy. The use of PROFIenergy is made easier for the machine builder by its integration into well-known series of products.In addition, PROFIenergy is defined in such a way that the necessary function blocks can be integrated into existing automation systems at a later date.

The Fast Start-Up function allows rapid start-up of PROFINET IO Devices that are connected to SIMATIC con-trollers within less than a second. This allows tool changes for robotics applications to be accelerated. It optimizes the time linking of robot applications, enabling a faster retool-ing of robots, e.g. in the body shop of a car production plant.

Replacement of devices without replacement medium /PG and simple commissioning of series machinesDuring startup, the IO controller determined the config-ured names and the topology of the connected devices. When replacing a device due to a defect, a new device can be given a name with the aid of the the topology. The pro-cess can run completely automatically even at the initial commissioning of a complete plant. For this reason, series machines can very quickly be brought into operation.

Fieldbus integrationPROFINET permits easy integration of existing fieldbus sys-tems. This requires the use of a proxy, which is a master of the PROFIBUS or AS-Interface system on the one hand and a station in the Industrial Ethernet on the other hand and which supports PROFINET communication. This protects the investments of plant operators, mechanical and plant engineers, and device manufacturers.

PROFIenergyDriven by legal requirements, such as the obligation to re-duce CO2 emissions, but also economic considerations, the Automation Initiative of the German Automobile Industry (AIDA) commissioned the PROFIBUS Organisation (PNO) to define a new PROFINET profile. Similar to the overrun fuel-cut off of the engine and automatic engine start-stop for cars, loads that are not required during production breaks should also be switched off.

Motion Control

Extremely fast isochronous automatic speed control for high-performance Motion Control applications can be achieved with isochronous real-time based on PROFINET. The standardized drive profile PROFIdrive enables vendor-independent communication between motion controllers and drives, regardless of whether the bus system isIndustrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS.

Isochronous real-time communication and standard IT communication can be implemented simultaneously on the same cable without affecting each other.

Distributed intelligence with component-based auto-mation

For the implementation of modular plant structuresPROFIBUS and PROFINET International have defined a standard: PROFINET CBA (Component Based Automa-tion). Positive experiences have already been made with modularization in mechanical and plant engineering: Fre-quently-required parts are ready-made and can be rapidly combined into an individual unit when an order is placed. With PROFINET CBA, modularization can be extended to the automation engineering of the plant with the help of software components. Communication takes place via the real-time channel.

Flexible software componentsSoftware components are understood to be encapsulated, reusable software functions. These can be individual technological functions such as closed-loop controllers, or user programs for entire machines. Like blocks, they can be flexibly combined and easily re-used – regardless of their internal programming. Communication between the software components is carried out exclusively via the component interfaces. On the outside, only those variables are accessible on these interfaces which are required for interaction with other components.

Configuration of the communication between machines of different manufacture by means of graphic interconnection


© Siemens AG 2009


Software components are created with STEP 7 or other vendor-specific tools. SIMATIC iMap is used for plant-wide configuring of the overall plant using graphical intercon-nection of the components. The degree of modularization does not determine the number of programmable control-lers required. Allocation to one central automation device or several distributed automation devices allows optimum utilization of the automation hardware.

Network installation

With PROFINET, the network can be installed without any specialist knowledge. The open standard based on Indus-trial Ethernet meets all the requirements relevant to the industrial sector. PROFINET permits the simple construc-tion of the usual network topologies such as star, tree, line and ring for greater reliability and using industry-standard cabling.

The “PROFINET Installation Guide” provides network instal-lation support for manufacturers and users. Symmetrical copper cables or RFI-resistant fiber-optic cables are used de-pending on the application. Devices from different manu-facturers are easily connected via standardized and rugged plug connectors (to IP65/IP67).

For address assignment and network diagnostics, PROFINET uses the IT standards DCP (Discovery Configura-tion Protocol) and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).

PROFINET offers new functions and applications for wire-less communication with Industrial Wireless LAN. This en-ables technologies subject to wear, such as contact wires, to be replaced and permits automated guided vehicle systems and mobile operator panels to be used. Industrial WLAN is based on standards, but also offers additional functions.

In wireless transmission, these industry features (iFea-tures) ensure the deterministics required in automation processes when communicating between controllers and IO devices and also ensure uninterrupted roaming when mobile stations move from one cell to the next.

IT standards & security

In the context of web integration, the data of PROFINET components is presented in HTML or XML format. Regard-less of the tool used, information at the automation level

can be accessed from any location using a standard Inter-net browser, which considerably simplifies commissioning and diagnosis.

PROFINET defines a graduated security concept that can be used without any special knowledge and that largely rules out any operating errors, unauthorized access or manipula-tion without impeding the production operation. For this, the SCALANCE S product range is available with software or hardware modules.

Safety

The PROFIsafe safety profile, which has been tried and tested with PROFIBUS and which permits the transmission of standard and safety-related data on a single bus cable, can also be used with PROFINET. Standard switches, prox-ies and links can also be used for fail-safe communication. In addition, fail-safe communication via Industrial Wireless LAN (WLAN) is possible.

PROFINET thus permits the implementation of standard and fail-safe applications with integrated configuration throughout the network – not only when designing new plants, but also when upgrading existing ones.

Process

PROFINET is the standard for all applications in automa-tion. By means of the PROFIBUS integration, it also in-cludes the process industry - including hazardous areas.

Sensor technology

Sensors are an important part of a transparent manufac-turing industry. They allow production and quality data to be acquired in an integrated way and logistics processes to be efficiently controlled.

Reliable, wireless communication with IWLAN

Industrial Wireless Communication

Wireless communication is in no way the only option for improving the convenience of an application by eliminat-ing the need for cables. In fact, it is the key to new kinds of application and offers enormous advantages – particularly when used in the industrial environment:

• Increased competitiveness with higher mobility and flexibility

• Reduced maintenance work, service costs and down-times by using low-wear components

• Constant availability and accessibility of data regardless of the network connections indoors and outdoors

Siemens Industrial Wireless Communication offers the op-timum solution for each task by the use of the best techno-logy for each application, regardless of whether it is mobile radio (GSM/GPRS), Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN) or WirelessHART.

GSM/GPRS

Mobile technology on the basis of uniform standards per-mits world-wide access to machines and plants in every sector. The field of application extends from tasks involv-ing remote maintenance and diagnostics, through the continuous communication between distantly located stations, to the transmission of job, position, or video data between mobile vehicles (e.g. buses, trains, trucks) and a control center. Mobile radio modems and routers from the

telecontrol product range are used for this purpose and ensure reliable con-nections. This makes it possible, for example, to reduce or eliminate costs for service calls, to monitor distributed stations eco-nomically and to improve safety in the vehicles.

Industrial Wireless LAN

Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN) offers a reliable, robust and secure complete solution on the basis of the WLAN standard IEEE 802.11 for local wireless networking. Ap-plications range from networking across machines and buildings, through the connection of mobile stations (e.g. automated guided vehicle systems, overhead monorails, cranes), to mobile plant operation by means of SIMATIC Mobile Panels.

The IWLAN complete solution includes:• SCALANCE W Access Points and Client Modules for the

construction of the radio infrastructure and for the wire-less connection of terminals and even PROFIBUS seg-ments

• an extensive range of accessories with antennas, con-necting cables, connectors, mounting brackets and power supply units

• Software for the planning, simulation, illumination and documentation (SINEMA E)

• Wireless devices such as the SIMATIC Mobile Panel 277(F) IWLAN for the wireless operation of standard and safety-related plants (PROFINET with PROFIsafe Profile) and the distributed IO moduleET 200pro IWLAN.

WirelessHART

WirelessHART is an open industry standard, developed for the particular requirements of wireless communica-tion at the field level in the process industry. It meets all specific requirements for reliability, safety, economy and user-friendly operation. WirelessHART opens up new com-munication options that were previously not practicable or possible due to the operating environment or for eco-nomic reasons.

With Industrial Wireless LAN, extensions to the IEEE 802.11 standard are made available that address the requirements of industrial customers in particular with regard to deter-ministics and redundancy (iFeatures). This gives custom-ers a single radio network for process-critical data (e.g. IO communication, safety-related communication) and for non-critical communication (e.g. service and diagnosis).

Other advantages are the multifunctional infrastructure, e.g. for both voice and data transmission across corporate areas, as well as the elimination of complicated and expen-sive cable and contact-wire installations.

SCALANCE W – Infrastructure for wireless communication

In the case of SCALANCE W, it is a matter of IWLAN access points and client modules for the construction of the wireless infrastructure and connection of terminals in the industrial environment. The products offer a unique com-bination of reliability, robustness and security. The IWLAN components SCALANCE W and the PROFINET communica-tion that can be implemented over them provide a mobile solution for applications right down to the the field level.The reliability of the radio channel is reflected in the dustproof and waterproof design (IP65) of the rugged en-closure, with the high demands on mechanical stability fa-miliar from SIMATIC. Modern security mechanisms for user identification (authentication) and data encryption protect against unauthorized access and can be integrated in exist-ing security policies without any problems.

Wireless devices – panels and IO

In order to make optimum use of the IWLAN infrastructure, mobile operator panels and distributed I/O devices with inte-grated wireless clients are part of the complete solution:• SIMATIC Mobile Panel 277(F) IWLAN for mobile HMI

even of safety-related applications with integral emer-gency stop pushbutton

• SIMATIC ET 200pro IWLAN for control cabinet and wire-less construction of a distributed I/O directly at the ma-chine

RCoax radiating cable – the special antenna for particularly demanding installations• In areas with difficult radio coverage (e.g. in tunnels,

channels and elevator shafts) where a mechanically wear-free and thus low-maintenance solution is important for ensuring reliable data transmission. This is made pos-sible by the defined, spherical radio field along the RCoax cable.

• RCoax cables offer a wear-free and reliable radio link, especially for conveyor systems, robots and every type of rail-mounted vehicle.

Examples of applications and their advantages are:• Flexible installation, replacement or retrofit: ideal for

temporary measurements and for measurements on ro-tating equipment.

• Access to distributed plants and sites in poorly acces-sible areas: considerable savings on cabling, commis-sioning and engineering, as well as reduced operating costs thanks to higher plant efficiency and lower main-tenance overheads.

• Access to diagnostics information for the development of predictive maintenance strategies: there is no longer any expenditure on cable maintenance or the manual checking of the device status.

The advantages of WirelessHART can be exploited by using SITRANS field devices with an integrated WirelessHART in-terface, or by an adapter for wired HART devices. For the connection to the plant network, the IE/WSN-PA LINK is available as a network transition between Wire-lessHART and Industrial Ethernet.

PROFIBUS

PROFIBUS is used to link field devices such as distrib-uted I/O devices or drives with automation systems such as SIMATIC S7, SIMOTION, SINUMERIK or SIMATIC IPCs. PROFIBUS, which is standardized in IEC 61158/61784 is a powerful, open and rugged fieldbus system with short response times. PROFIBUS is available in different forms for various applications.

PROFIBUS DP(distributed I/O)

connects distributed field devices, e.g. SIMATIC ET 200 or drives with very fast response times. PROFIBUS DP is used when actuators/sensors are distributed on the machine or in the plant (e.g. field level). The actuators and sensors are connected to the field devices.

26 PROFIBUS

The field devices are supplied with output data in accor-dance with the master/slave technique and transfer input data to the controller or Industrial PC.

Openness all along the lineThanks to the openness of PROFIBUS DP, standardized components from different manufacturers can also be con-nected. The IEC 61158/61784 standard provides future protection for your investment.

Member companies worldwide offer the most diverse products with PROFIBUS DP interface for the field area. Siemens has a complete range of products of standard and fail-safe controllers, network components, commu-nication software and field devices. And for field device manufacturers, Siemens offers everything to do with the PROFIBUS DP interface, such as ASICs, training, certifica-tion, and much more.

PROFIsafepermits standard and safety-related communication on one and the same bus cable. It is an open solution for safety-related communication over standard buses and uses the PROFIBUS services.

expands PROFIBUS DP with intrinsically safe transmission of data and power (e.g. transducers in the food processing industry) in accordance with the international standard IEC6158-2 (same protocol, different physical properties).

AS-Interface

Sensors, valves, actuators, drives – many different compo-nents work on the field level. All of these actuators/sensors must be connected to an automation system. Distributed I/O devices are used for this; to a certain extent as intelli-gent outposts directly on-site.

As a cost-effective alternative to the cable harness, theAS-Interface links the components of the field level by means of a simple 2-wire cable for data and power.AS-Interface is standardized as an international industrial standard according to EN 50295 and IEC 62026-2 and is supported worldwide by a number of member companies of the AS-International Association, including the leading manufacturers of actuators and sensors. AS-Interface is used wherever individual actuators/sensors are spatially distributed throughout the machine (e.g. in a bottling plant).

AS-Interface is a single master system. There are communi-cations processors (CPs) for SIMATIC and for SIMOTION and links that control field communication as masters. With the AS-Interface specification V2.1 or V3.0, up to 62 slaves can be connected. The AS-Interface specification V3.0 allows a maximum of 1000 digital inputs/outputs to be connected (profile S-7.A.A: 8DI/8DO as A/B slave). New profiles allow advanced addressing to be used for analog slaves, too. The analog value transmission is accelerated via “fast analog profiles”. Thanks to the integrated analog value processing in the masters, the access to analog values is just as easy as the access to digital values.

28 AS-Interface

For connecting the AS-Interface to PROFIBUS DP, the DP/AS-i LINK Advanced, DP/AS-i F-Link or DP/AS-Interface LINK 20E are available with IP20 protec-tion. This enables the use of AS-Interface as a subnet for PROFIBUS DP. The IE/AS-i LINK PN IO allows AS-Interface to be connected to Industrial Ethernet and thereby a direct embedding in the PROFINET environment.

Cost savingsAS-Interface replaces costly cable harnesses and connects binary actuators and sensors such as proximity switches, valves or indicator lights, as well as analog signals with a controller such as SIMATIC.

In practice this means: Installation runs smoothly because data and power are transported together over one single line. Thanks to the specially developed ribbon cable (yel-low in color) and insulation piercing technology, theAS-Interface slaves can be connected anywhere.

Example of a system configuration

This concept is extremely flexible and has a big effect on savings. No expert knowledge is required for installation and commissioning. Furthermore, through simple cable laying and the clear cable structure as well as the special design of the cable, you not only significantly reduce the risk of errors, but also service and maintenance costs.

Transparency and on-of-a-kind integration thanks to Totally Integrated Automation

As an innovative and standardized point-to-point connec-tion, the IO-Link standard is the logical extension of func-tions of the fieldbus systems to the field devices. With the Siemens IO-Link solution, sensors and actuators with all of their performance capability are optimally integrated be-low the fieldbus level into the Totally Integrated Automa-tion (TIA) environment.

In addition to process data, diagnostic interrupts and sen-sor and switchgear parameters are also available through-out the plant. This accelerates commissioning, increases plant availability and reduces maintenance costs that typi-cally arise due to the large number of sensors and switch-ing devices in the plant. Recurring parameterizations of sensors or switching devices can be reconstructed as often as necessary thanks to central data management and the devices do not have to be set individually.

downtimes, because the parameters are automatically reloaded after a device is replaced. The compatibility with conventional sensors and switchgear always remains in-tact, because conventional field devices can also be oper-ated on IO-Link interfaces.

The connection is made in the proven flexible layout via the master module of the ET 200S or ET 200eco PN, each with 4 IO-link ports. In addition to sensors and switchgear, IO-Link devices and IO-Link field distributors with 4 or 8 digital standard inputs in IP67 are available for the cost-effective integration of standard sensors.

The integration of the device configuration into the STEP 7 environment allows faults to be found and cleared quickly and easily. Thus, productivity is increased across all phases of the machine cycle – configuration, commissioning and operation .

Secure communication with SCALANCE S

In this manner, industrial communication interacts increas-ingly with the IT environment and is subjected to the same dangers that are known from the office and IT environment, such as hackers, viruses, worms and Trojan horses.

Industrial security

Industrial Security safeguards industrial networks both lo-cally and when accessing the Internet and differs from con-ventional IT security as follows:• Protection from data espionage and data manipulation• Protection against overloading of the communication system• Protection against mutual interference • Protection against addressing errors, e.g. by means of access lists• User-friendly and simple configuration and administration

without specialist knowledge of IT security• No changes or modification of the existing applications or

network stations or structures are necessary• Rugged, industry-standard design

With its industrial security concept, Siemens has created a security solution especially for industrial automation technol-ogy and its specific requirements. SCALANCE S security mod-ules from Siemens offer a scalable security functionality:

• Firewall for protecting the programmable controllers from unauthorized access regardless of the size of the network to be protected.

• Supplementary or alternative VPN (Virtual Private Net-work) for reliable authentication of the communication partners and encryption of the transmitted data.

• SOFTNET Security Client for secure access of PCs/note-books to programmable controllers protected by SCALANCE S.

Machine safety – Safety

The aim of safety technology is to protect personnel, ma-chines and the environment from danger and damage caused by the malfunction of the machine (hardware faults or software errors). Here it is always necessary to consider the entire system, from the sensor via the evaluation unit to the actuator. This objective is achieved with functional safety: This means that the machine always performs the safety function cor-rectly. The capacity for resisting faults that may occur de-termines the safety integrity of a machine (i.e. what effects does a fault have on a machine). The safety integrity can be increased using the following technical measures:• Diagnostic functions• Redundant configuration• Selection of interference-resistant and rugged compo-

nentsWith “Safety Integrated”, Siemens provides an integrated,secure system, certified according to IEC 61508, that meets the most stringent safety requirements and thus facilitates compliance with the relevant standards: EN 954-1 up to Cat. 4, IEC 62061 up to SIL 3, and EN ISO 13849-1 up to PL e. For communication, it is supported by:• PROFIsafe, the safety profile that is based on PROFIBUS

and PROFINET• ASIsafe, the safety-oriented characteristic of the actuator-

sensor communication system AS-Interface

Expansion by PROFINETThis range has been expanded by PROFINET-enabled com-ponents, thus providing a complete product range with fail-safe controllers, fail-safe I/O and a corresponding engi-neering environment. This includes controllers for the mid to upper performance range, digital input/output modules, motor starters and frequency converters with IP20 and also with IP65/67 degree of protection for a cabinet-free configuration. The fail-safe controllers have interfaces for PROFIBUS and PROFINET. The fail-safe input/output modules can be operated via corresponding interface mod-ules either on PROFIBUS or PROFINET.

PROFIsafe protocolThe communication between the fail-safe controllers (SIMATIC, SINUMERIK) and the fail-safe I/Os takes place via the protocol profile initially developed for PROFIBUS DP, i.e. “PROFIsafe”. PROFIsafe was the first communication stan-dard according to IEC 61508 that permits both standard and safety-related communication on one bus. With SIL 3 and PL e, PROFIsafe meets the strictest requirements in the production and process industry. PROFIsafe is tested and authorized by the TUEV Group (German Technical Inspec-torate) and by the BGIA (institute for work safety of the statutory industrial accident institutions).

Openness of PROFIsafeThe PROFIsafe protocol V2 supports secure communica-tion for the open standard buses – whether it is the proven PROFIBUS DP or all variants of the new, fast bus system PROFINET IO. With the transmission variant PROFIBUS PA (IEC 61158-2), the integrity of the distributed automation extends into the processing world, e.g. in hazardous envi-ronments. PROFIsafe is also used in modern radio technol-ogy.

PROFIsafe functionality PROFIsafe prevents errors such as false addressing, loss, delay, etc. when transmitting messages, e.g. by consecu-tive numbering of the PROFIsafe data and time monitoring.

By means of slave nodes, safety-related encoder signals of a BUS node reach the safety-oriented CPU. After these sen-sor signals are linked, a corresponding output signal is sent to a fail-safe slave. The transmission takes place on a single channel without the use of a redundant path.

ASIsafe Solution local: Design and components

The “ASIsafe” concept supports direct integration ofsafety-related components, such as EMERGENCY-STOP switches, protective door switches or safety light arrays, on the AS-Interface network. These are fully compat-ible with the familiar AS-Interface components (masters, slaves, power supply, repeaters, etc.) in accordance with EN 62026-2 and are operated in conjunction with them on the yellow AS-Interface cable. Thus, safety-related shutdown is possible with ASIsafe up to Category 4/PL e (DIN EN ISO 13849-1) or SIL 3 (IEC 61508) while retaining the advantage of simple, inexpensive wiring options.

Some advantages at a glance

Fail-safe communication ASIsafe

• Minimum maintenance times and downtimes due to integrated diagnostics

• Low-cost configuration possible without a fail-safe PLC or special master

• Greater flexibility due to software-supported graphi-cal configuration

• Ability to conveniently duplicate a solution on multi-ple machines/systems by copying the safety program

• Fast overview of safety functionality of the system available using a simple graphics tool

• Simple direct integration of hardware such as emer-gency stop switches, protective door switches, or safety light barriers using integrated AS-Interface slaves

The fail-safe components are part of Safety Integrat-ed, the Siemens safety program based on devices for safe acquisition, analysis and response. For failsafe communication, ASIsafe and PROFIsafe are used.

ASIsafe Solution local: the safety monitor

For the local ASIsafe solution, the safety monitor monitors the safe inputs acquired via the safe slaves, links them us-ing a parameterizable logic, and ensures safe shutdown by means of built-in safety relays. In the event of a tripping operation or a communication failure, the safety moni-tor disconnects its two-channel enabling circuits with a maximum response time of 40 ms. At the same time as the second enabling circuit of the safety monitor, distributed valves or motor starters could also be activated for safety (device version 3).

All of the data is transferred via a dynamic, safe protocol. In each bus cycle, the safety monitor expects from each slave a specific message frame that changes continuously in accordance with a defined algorithm. The asimon con-figuration software is used to parameterize the shutdown logic of the safety monitor and it can respond accordingly in each case when the safe nodes trip. The safety monitor can be diagnosed via the controller. No additional wiring is necessary for the safety components.Ready-made images for operating and monitoring tasks allow users to visualize the safety-oriented events on SIMATIC HMI Panels.

PROFIsafe ASIsafe solution: the DP/AS-i F-link

The DP/AS-i F-link allows the use of AS-Interface among fail-safe SIMATIC or SINUMERIK controllers and converts the ASIsafe input signals into the PROFIsafe protocol. Safe signals are recorded with ASIsafe modules or safety sen-sors with integral ASIsafe slave. The existing fail-safe con-troller takes over the analysis. On the PROFIsafe level, the F-Link is the best choice:

• When large quantities of safe slaves are used• When numerous trip circuits have been installed• For safety-oriented further processing at the higher-

fieldbus levels• For extensive, nested logical operations

Configuration and parameterization are done via STEP 7 HWConfig. The safe logic is programmed with the aid ofSTEP 7 Distributed Safety in F-LAD or F-FBD. Diagnosis is carried out using the system functions provided by STEP 7 as well as locally on the devices by means of messages on the display.

Fail-safe network transition DP/AS-i F-Link


© Siemens AG 2009


Network transitions from one bus system to another are implemented using links, controllers (PLC) or PCs. In the case of controllers or IPCs, this can take place via integrat-ed interfaces and communications processors (CPs). Links pass on the data from one network to the other without further linking. The following links are available:

• IE/WSN-PA LINK for the transition between WirelessHART and Industrial Ethernet

• IE/PB Link PN IO for the transition from Industrial Ethernet to PROFIBUS

• IE/AS-i LINK PN IO for the transition from Industrial Ethernet to AS-Interface

• IWLAN/PB Link PN IO for the transition from IWLAN to PROFIBUS

• DP/AS-i LINK Advanced, DP/AS-Interface Link 20E and DP/AS-i F-Link for the transition from PROFIBUS to AS-Interface

Network transitions between the bus systems

For controllers such as SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, SINUMERIK or SIMOTION C, data is exchanged be-tween the individual networks via communications processors or integrated interfaces. The data is linked by means of a controller, and therefore passed on to the other network already preprocessed.

PROFINET network transition with proxy functionality

PROFIBUS segments can be connected to Industrial Ethernet via PROFINET proxies. This connection can be made not only with the SIMATIC WinAC PN optional pack-age, SIMATIC S7-300/400 CPUs with DP and PN interface, but also via the IE/PB Link PN IO. For a wireless network transition, a SCALANCE W-700 access point with the IWLAN/PB Link PN IO can be used. This allows all PROFIBUS standard slaves to be used un-changed for PROFINET.

Highly available communication with Industrial Ethernet

High availability communication and redundancy

Process or field communication

Production plants are designed and calculated for 24-hour operation. The consequences of a system failure are costly downtimes, high restarting costs and the loss of valuable data or materials. Redundant control systems, such as the SIMATIC S7-H system, protect against failures of the auto-mation systems.

High availability systems The S7-400H is a high-availability controller. Handling, pro-gramming, configuring and communicating are all done as in the standard systems. Depending on the network topology, redundant connections are created to which the system can automatically switch in the event of a fault without any loss of data. The peripherals are connected via redundant PROFIBUS DP cables to S7-400H. For the safe, fault-tolerant design, the communication takes place between the fail-safe CPUs via fail-safe S7 communication blocks.

Redundant networks

The problem-free communication from PC applications (e.g. WinCC) via redundant networks with S7-400H is en-sured by S7-REDCONNECT. PC applications that already use S7 communication today (e.g. via the OPC interface) can be adopted unchanged.

Media redundancyTo achieve the extremely fast response times requiredby the industry, SIMATIC NET uses a specially developedprocedure for controlling the redundancy. The reconfigura-tion of a network after a fault (broken cable or switch fail-ure) into a functioning network infrastructure is ensured in the sub-second range (less than 0.3 seconds in a ring of 50 switches) and no logical connections are disconnected.

Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)A greater plant availability can be achieved with a redun-dant installation (ring topology). The media redundancy can be created on the one hand with the aid of switches, and, on the other hand, directly via the PROFINET inter-faces to SIMATIC controllers and distributed IOs.Thanks to the MRP (IEC 61158 Type 10), reconfiguration times of just 200 ms, depending on number of stations, can be achieved. In the event of a break in communication in just one part of the ring installation this means that a plant standstill is prevented.

Router redundancySCALANCE X414-3E allows router redundancy in order to increase the availability of a network considerably and is therefore suitable for use in high-performance plant networks (e.g. with high-speed redundancy). Due to the modular design, the switch can be adapted to the task at hand. Due to the support of IT standards (e.g. VLAN, IGMP, RSTP), the seamless integration of automation networks into existing office networks is possible. Routing functions on Layer 3 support communication between different IP subnets.

Database Server

The availability of production data in higher level data-bases for analyses and subsequently the optimization of processes is essential for the lasting success of businesses, but has until now been associated with certain expense. Connection to databases can be configured without inter-mediate network transitions or PCs. The path leads via con-trollers at the control level with connection to databases via Industrial Ethernet.

The communication processor CP 343-1 ERPC, together with a partner software package, connects the SIMATIC S7-300 Controller directly to databases over Industrial Ethernet and converts the data between formats as required.

Simple solutions to demanding problems

In addition to the familiar communication possibilities with programming devices, operator control and monitoring devices and SIMATIC S7 systems, direct interfacing to da-tabase applications such as ORACLE, MySQL, MS-SQL and DB2 can be implemented easily. Controllers can therefore be supplied by means of CP 343-1 ERPC with data or or-ders from the databases of the Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) level.

Diagnostics

Network and device diagnostics simplify commissioning and the operation of the system. They keep network fail-ures to a minimum and increase the operational reliability and system availability.

Diagnostics on Industrial Ethernet/PROFINET

The exchange of process and control data almost always takes place via Industrial Ethernet/PROFINET in modern production plants. Diagnosis is Essential for this. Most analysis and management systems are complicated and expensive, however.

Diagnostics concept

PROFINET IO supports an integrated diagnostics concept for being able to efficiently find and clear any faults. If a fault occurs, the faulty IO Device sends a diagnostic alarm to the IO Controller. This in turn calls up a corresponding program routine in the user program in order to respond to faults. Alternatively, diagnostic information can be read directly from the field device (IO Device) and displayed on an IO Supervisor (PG or PC). The IO Device then gener-ates a diagnostic alarm if a fault occurs on a channel. An acknowledgement mechanism allows the faults to be pro-cessed sequentially in the IO Controller.

Within the scope of Totally Integrated AutomationSiemens provides the freely downloadable PNIODiag di-agnostics package on the Internet, in order to simplify the diagnostic analysis of distributed I/O systems in connection with SIMATIC S7. A function block in the CPU determines such things as:

Topology editor: graphical representation of communicating ports

• the statuses of the connected I/O systems and• the station statuses of an I/O system.

The diagnostic analysis and operation are done completely via the visualization with WinCC flexible or WinCC. The SCALANCE network technology is also integrated in this system solution. The tried and tested Industrial Ethernet switches are configured with STEP 7 and diagnosed during operation like field devices. The diagnostic information is processed in the PLC user program. This integrated func-tionality has advantages for engineering, commissioning and operation of the plant.

Topological plant view for more transparency

For PROFINET networks, the topology editor in SIMATIC STEP 7 or SIMOTION SCOUT can graphically dis-play the port interconnections of the devices quickly and easily. Devices can be combined into groups so that the presentation is clearer when there are large numbers of components. In addition, SIMATIC IPCs and HMI stations are recognized and displayed. An offline/online compari-son identifies the communicating ports and presents them in tabular or graphical form. By detecting, presenting and monitoring the physical connections between devices on PROFINET IO the administrator can monitor and service even complex networks more easily. In addition, with the topology editor the user receives comprehensive diagnos-tics functions for all of the components during operation and support in generating the system documentation.

Integrated diagnostics concept: graphical display of system faults on the HMI


© Siemens AG 2009


Swapping a device without PG or swap medium

If a device has to be swapped in the event of a failure, a setpoint topology is specified via the topology editor or it is acquired online. The replacement device must be in-stalled in the same location with the same port cabling. The IO Controller can accommodate the device indepen-dently in the production communication.

Electronic rating plate

The “electronic rating plate”, e.g. for SIMATIC ET 200 field devices, simplifies maintenance planning. Specifying the manufacturer and serial number, for example, allows the respective device to be identified. Other data, e.g. plant ID, installation date, facilitate the maintenance itself.

Diagnostics via the webSystem diagnosticsVia integrated web servers, template diagnostics pages can be called up from any location in the plant using standard web browsers. In this way, the topology and module status of connected PROFINET and PROFIBUS field devices can be displayed. The module status and variable status are au-tomatically updated. Various controllers, communications processors and network components support the diagnos-tics via IT functions.

Process diagnosticsVia the PLC program, simple process diagnostics can be im-plemented via e-mail, via FTP functions or custom-made, dynamic websites. This is supported by various Industrial Ethernet communications processors.

Monitoring and diagnosis of networks The network management product SNMP-OPC-Server pro-vides support when monitoring and diagnosing wireless and wired networks. It is used exclusively for the process-ing of SNMP message frames and their forwarding for dis-play in other systems.The SNMP OPC Server enables diagnostic and configura-tion data to be read from any Ethernet devices and dis-played on the Maintenance Station. Alongside standard maintenance data, simple plant network problems such as failure of a line can be quickly and easily detected by means of this software.

Diagnostics for PROFIBUS

Commissioning with the bus testerThe BT200 but tester can ensure the functional capability of bus segments in offline mode, i.e. without a connected master. The bus tester provides the following functions, for ex-ample:

• Bus cable diagnostics, e.g. broken cable, short circuit• Testing of the PROFIBUS interfaces of master and slaves• Testing of the availability of all slaves (life list)

Operating with the diagnostics repeaterThe diagnostics repeater is available for cable diagnostics during normal plant operation. It shows the topology of the automation system and detects the following cable faults, for example:

• Broken cable • Short circuit in signal line• Absent bus terminating resistors

Diagnostics in STEP 7/SIMOTION SCOUTSTEP 7/SIMOTION SCOUT provide an “overview diagnos-tics”. Diagnostics symbols refer to diagnostic information of the monitored devices (e.g. PROFIBUS slave faulted). A detail window shows addition information with exhaus-tive fault information for the individual modules (module status), e.g.

• Module slot• Channel number• Cause of fault in plain text

Communication between SIMATIC S7-200 stations via SINAUT MICRO SC control center

TelecontrolRemote control and remote maintenance

The SINAUT Telecontrol system is based on SIMATIC. It supplements the SIMATIC system with corresponding hardware and software, and permits individual compo-nents to be networked over a WAN (Wide Area Network). Telecontrol is primarily used when remote process stations are to be connected to one or more control centers.

The data for this is transmitted via conventional WAN, such as dedicated copper cable, telephone network, radio, but also via modern, IP-based networks such as the Internet.

Telecontrol consists of two independent systems:

• SINAUT MICROSimple telecontrol system for monitoring and control of distributed plants using mobile radio communication (GPRS) on the basis of SIMATIC S7-200 and WinCC flexible or WinCC.

• SINAUT ST7Multifaceted telecontrol system based on SIMATIC S7-300,S7-400 and WinCC for fully automatic monitoring and con-trol of distributed process stations, which exchange data with one another and with one or more control centers via the most diverse WAN media.

SINAUT MICRO

SINAUT MICRO is a low-cost supplement for monitoring and controlling simple telecontrol tasks. It consists of a GSM-GPRS modem, OPC and connection management software optimized for GPRS, and an S7-200 program block package. With this package, up to 256 SIMATIC S7-200 stations per OPC server (cascadable) can easily and safely communicate with one another and with the control cen-ter using GPRS mobile radio. They remain permanently online.

SINAUT MICRO is suitable for use wherever small volumes of data have to be transferred via wireless connections. The system is configured using STEP 7 Micro/WIN.The maintenance personnel can access the secured center even from home via an Internet browser and query or set current values of connected S7-200 stations. In this way, for example, text or fax fault messages which are sent directly from S7-200 remote stations and are received via mobile telephone can be analyzed via the center. Corre-sponding modems are connected via the serial interface or Industrial Ethernet to the communications module TIM. This allows a faster response to process interrupts.

The routing functionality of the OPC server SINAUT MICRO SC also allows bi-directional communica-tion between S7-200 stations that are connected via the SINAUT MD720-3 modem. Under WinCC, the OPC server SINAUT MICRO can be combined with SINAUT ST7cc to form a cost-optimized central fault message and telecon-trol system that can grow to meet increased requirements.

SINAUT ST7Transmission networks

SINAUT ST7 demonstrates its versatility in the selection of the transmission network. In the classical WAN sector, these are:

• Dedicated lines (private or leased)• Private radio networks (optionally with time slot proce-

dure)• Analog telephone network• Digital ISDN network• Mobile radio network (GSM)

For this purpose, SINAUT ST7 also offers appropriate modems for conventional WANs. In addition to classi-cal networks, SINAUT communication is also possible over Ethernet-based WANs, namely:

• Via fiber-optic conductors, e.g. through use of SCALANCE X switches with optical ports; distances of up to 120 km can then be spanned

• Via public networks and Internet using DSL and/or GPRS

All networks can be combined as required in a SINAUT proj-ect. Star, line, node and mixed network topologies of these basic structures can be established.A station can be linked to two transmission paths for re-dundant data transmission. The two paths can be of the same type or also different, e.g. dedicated line combined with telephone network or ISDN with DSL.

SINAUT ST7cc/sc control center systemSINAUT ST7cc is the standard SINAUT I&C system based on WinCC. Using the SINAUT ST7sc program package with the Data Access OPC interface, the the SINAUT ST7 stations can also be linked to control systems from other vendors. It supplies the archives with process data in line with the provided time stamp and is also able to link sector-typical logging systems such as ACRON. In order to increase the

availability, the control center can also be designed as a redundant system in conjunction with the WinCC redun-dancy package.

Remote programming and diagnostics Both in the commissioning phase and during operation, program modifications or remote diagnostics are easy to carry out in the remote stations via the SINAUT telecontrol network, even without interrupting ongoing process data communication. This saves travel times and maintenance visits.

Future-oriented and economicalSINAUT ST7 is a telecontrol system produced on the basis of the SIMATIC S7 automation system and it resumes and continuously evolves the successful properties of the previ-ous SINAUT ST1 system based on SIMATIC S5. The consis-tent use of the SIMATIC platform ensures the long service life and economy of plant investments and ensures com-patibility with previous and future systems.

TeleService adapter with integrated modem

Remote maintenance via TeleService

Machines and plants are increasingly being at locations that are distant from the point of generation. Plant con-structors must nevertheless be able to provide support in the event of a fault. In particular during the warranty period this can result in high costs. TeleService helps to reduce this risk.The possible applications for TeleService are manifold. Plants can be diagnosed, values set and data transmitted from any place on earth via a telephone cable.

TeleService contributes significantly to reduce travel and personnel costs for service calls and has therefore been a standard tool in automation for a long time.

Field of application

Remote connections with TeleService can be used for remote maintenance and remote linking. Remote main-tenance permits access to a CPU with STEP 7 or an HMI device over WinCC. A remote link is a connection for data transmission. As an additional function, TeleService en-ables text messages to be sent to cell phones or as e-mail through SIMATIC controllers.

Remote maintenanceFor remote maintenance a technician dials into a remote plant by telephone. STEP 7 can be used to read status in-formation or to correct the user program remotely.

Remote linkRemote links are used to transmit data over the telephone network. TeleService supports program-controlled connec-tion buildup between the PG or PC and automation system. Process data exchange between several automation sys-tems can also be coordinated.

Connection build-up

Access to the automation network is not implemented via the virus-prone office network, but instead using a login and password over a secure connection from the telephone network through the TeleService adapter directly into the automation network.

In addition to password protection, a call-back function is provided. If this function is activated, the plant calls back a predefined number and only establishes a connection with this number. In the case of Industrial Ethernet, the firewall integrated into the TeleService Adapter IE that is pre-pa-rameterized for automation tasks ensures that only the relevant ports and utilities are enabled.

The call is dialed up on the TeleService adapter via the integrated analog or ISDN modem, or alternatively via an externally connected GSM modem MD720-3.

Remote diagnostics and remote maintenance of production plants have become indispensible in modern automation technology. They are more efficient and more cost-effec-tive than an on-site service employee on site. This allows faults to be detected and cleared much faster, downtimes of machines are reduced and their availability is increased.

Optimum remote maintenance is based on reliable, per-manently available, secured and economical data connec-tions.

Depending on the application, SIMATIC NET provides the appropriate solution to this:• For continuous connections or simultaneous access to

several plants, a solution using SCALANCE S is recom-mended, both on the service and the plant side.

• For flexible access for remote maintenance from any Internet connection – whether in the office, home of-fice or hotel room – SOFTNET Security Client is the right software solution for connecting to the SCALANCE S installed on the system.

• For plants, on which a wired network connection is not possible or not desirable, the mobile router MD741-1 establishes remote maintenance access to the SCALANCE S in the Service Center.

Typical remote access scenarios to distributed S7 stations via a secure GPRS-based Internet connection

Some advantages at a glance

Optimized servicing of remote plants

External stations can be reached around the world

All remote stations can be parameterized and diagnosed using standard STEP 7 resources

High availability of the communication by means of standardized mobile radio and Internet technology

GPRS ensures short transmission times and continu-ous online connection

Economical data transmission by billing on the basis of the data volume

VPN functionality allows a secure, protected and en-crypted data connection via the standard IPSec

High degree of security thanks to integrated firewall

Simple and user-friendly configuration of the VPN tunnel using the Security Configuration Tool

Remote access via the Internet via the GPRS router

In all cases, the communication is reliably protected by authentication and encryption via a virtual private network (VPN) tunnel, in order to rule out the possibilty of indus-trial espionage or manipulation.

Telecontrol with standardized protocols

Future-oriented and economical – with standards of SIPLUS RIC

SIPLUS RIC (Remote Interface Control) is a telecontrol system based on the SIMATIC S7 automation system with interna-tionally standardized communications protocols for:• Serial transmission IEC 60870-5-101• Ethernet (TCP/IP) IEC 60870-5-104• Protective equipment connection IEC 60870-5-103

It provides secure communication with reduced data vol-ume for reliable operation in the Wide Area Network (WAN) thanks to event-driven, time-stamped transmission and monitored output of commands.

SIPLUS RIC is an integrated, scalable system with the same functionalities, starting with the ET 200S as compact device all the way to the fault-tolerant S7-400H system, as well as for PCS7 systems. The SIPLUS RIC software libraries are based on the standard SIMATIC Manager and can be used on vari-ous, mutually compatible types of SIMATIC S7 devices. This saves hardware and programming costs.SIPLUS RIC is available in bundles based on the SIMATIC S7 standard components or on SIPLUS extreme components with:• extended temperature range• Protection against increased humidity, condensation and

corrosive conditions

Types of communication

Classical WAN• Dedicated line via modems, e.g. SINAUT MD2• Dedicated line via fiber-optic cables• Private radio networks

TCP/IP-based WAN• Ethernet networks, e.g. SCALANCE X with fiber-optic cables• Wireless, e.g. SCALANCE W with Ethernet wireless• Public networks and the Internet using DSL and/or GPRS• Satellite communication, e.g. Inmarsat

Data security• Time stamp at the data source• Time synchronization is possible via the NTP or IEC protocol• Data buffer for bridging communication breaks• Monitored output of commands for reliable detection of

malfunctions

Applications• Easy integration of SIPLUS RIC products into SCADA systems• Migration of legacy SCADA systems• Migration of automation functions into existing third-party

systems• With SIPLUS RIC, you can set up star and line topologies.• A station can be linked to two transmission paths for redun-

dant data transmission.

Advantages at a glance

Overall solution from the bus system to engineering and diagnostic tools

Security of investment due to compatible, continu-ing development based on international standards

Setting up of networked, safety-oriented applica-tions through the PROFIsafe safety profile for PROFIBUS and PROFINET

Integrated communication from the field level to the enterprise resource planning (ERP) level

Real-time communication and data transmission on an Ethernet bus system

High degree of mobility and flexibility through industrial wireless communication

Reliable protection of the automation solution, e.g. against addressing errors or unauthorized access

Reliable, rugged and safe network components with integrated diagnostics functions

In various SIMATIC NET components (e.g. SCALANCE, OSM/ESM, CPs with IT functions), extensive parameter-ization and diagnostics functions are provided through open protocols and interfaces (e.g. web server, net-work management). These open interfaces provide access to those compo-nents which can also be used for illicit activities.

When the above-mentioned functions and the open interfaces and protocols are used (e.g. SNMP, HTTP and Telnet), appropriate security precautions must be implemented to suppress unauthorized access to the components or network, especially from the WAN/In-ternet. For this reason, automation networks can be isolated from the remaining corporate network using suitable firewall systems (e.g. SCALANCE S).
