1 Introduction



1 Introduction Below we take an example to demonstrate which settings are needed to transfer a WinCC (TIA Portal) configuration to an operator panel.

The settings are described for …

• The operator panel.

• On the configuration PC.

• In WinCC (TIA Portal).

2 Settings on the Operator Panel


2 Settings on the Operator Panel The illustrations below are from the TP900 Comfort and might differ from operator panel to operator panel, because not all the functions are available for each operator panel.

The settings refer to "PROFIBUS". The settings for "MPI" are the same.

4 Settings in WinCC (TIA Portal)


4 Settings in WinCC (TIA Portal) In the following we take an example to show the separate steps needed for transferring a TP900 Comfort configuration to the operator panel.

4.1 Settings in a "Stand Alone" Project

If you have created an HMI configuration in your WinCC (TIA Portal) project without direct networking to a PLC, then read the description below.

Table 4-1

No. Action Screens

1. Device configuration Open the Device Configuration by means of "Project tree > "HMI_1" folder > Device configuration" and switch to the "Network view". Mark the "HMI_1" device to display the device's properties.




No. Action Screens

2. Device configuration, network data Under "Properties > MPI/DP Interface (X2)" you create the network data for the operator panel. Parameter Interface type: Define the interface type (PROFIBUS/MPI) in the drop-down list box. In this case "PROFIBUS". Address: Specify a unique address. In this case "1". Interface networked with Add a new subnet using the "Add new subnet" button.



No. Action Screens

3. Device configuration, network settings A subnet (PROFIBUS_1) is added to the operator panel by means of the settings made previously. Click the subnet (PROFIBUS_1) to apply the network settings. Specify the required network settings under "Properties > Network Settings". Make sure that you use the same settings throughout the entire network. In this example: Highest PROFIBUS address: 126 Transmission speed: 1.5 Mbps Profile: DP

4. Connections If you have not yet set up a connection, then create a new connection under "Project tree > "HMI_1" folder > Connections". For this you click the "<Add>" field.




No. Action Screens

5. Connection, parameters To view and edit the connection parameters you click the small arrow to increase the table area. The "Parameter" tab shows you all the required parameters. Change the parameters for the "Operator panel" and "Network" according to your configuration. If necessary, check the settings you made previously in the Device Configuration (Link). Take the parameters for the controller from the PLC hardware manual. However, this is not relevant for transfer of the HMI configuration.



4.2 Settings for the Integrated HMI Connection

If you have created an HMI configuration in your WinCC (TIA Portal) project with direct networking to a PLC, then read the description below.

Table 4-2

5. Device configuration, connect the operator panel to the PLC Create an HMI connection between the operator panel and the PLC. A detailed description of how to network devices is available in the Online Help of WinCC (TIA Portal) and in the system manual (Link).





No. Action Screens

6. Connections The settings made previously in the Device Configuration ensure that the connection data of the operator panel, network and controller are applied automatically. No other settings are needed. The connection created can also be displayed under "Project tree > "HMI_1" folder > Connections". To view the connection parameters you click the small arrow to increase the table area. All the parameters are displayed in the "Parameters" tab.

5 Transferring the Configuration



5 Transferring the Configuration When you download the project for the first time to an operator panel, the "Extended download to device" dialog opens automatically. In this dialog you define the protocol and the interface or the target path for the project depending on the operator panel.

5.1 Extended Download to Device

The menu item "Extended download to device..." is called automatically only with the first project transfer of the configuration. You can call the "Extended download to device" dialog anytime by means of the menu command "Online > Extended download to device...".

The dialog is required...

• When you want to see all the accessible devices in the subnet, for example.

• When you want to make changes to the PG/PC interface prior to transferring the configuration.

• When a different address is set on the operator panel to be reached and you still want to do a project transfer.

Table 5-1

No. Action Screen

1. Extended Download to Device

• Mark the "HMI_1" folder in the project tree.

• You can select different options in the "Load preview" window. Using the small arrow button you can view the options and select/deselect the different options as required. Alternatively you can select/deselect the "Overwrite all" option field.

• Click the "Load" button. Clicking the button compiles the configuration, establishes the connection to the operator panel and transfers the configuration.

This completes the project transfer to the operator panel.



5.2 Download to Device

If you have already transferred the configuration once to the operator panel and then you want to transfer the configuration once again to the operator panel, then the "Extended download to device" dialog no longer opens when you start the project transfer, only the "Load preview" dialog.

Table 5-2

No. Action Screen

1. Download to Device

• Mark the "HMI_1" folder in the project tree.

• Click the icon in the toolbar.

• Select the menu command "Online > Download to device".

The "Load preview" window opens.

2. "Load preview" window

• You can select different options in the "Load preview" window. Using the small arrow button you can view the options and select/deselect the different options as required. Alternatively you can select/deselect the "Overwrite all" option field.

• Click the "Load" button. Clicking the button compiles the configuration, establishes the connection to the operator panel and transfers the configuration. If this is not the case, then please refer to the Help at this Link.

This completes the project transfer to the operator panel.




5.3 Configure the Interface (PG/PC Interface)

Options for Connections to Target Systems

If the devices of the project are connected over different subnets, you must assign the PG/PC interface an appropriate network access in each case in order to be able to establish an online connection to the target systems. The interfaces below are supported automatically:

• MPI

• PROFIBUS

• Industrial Ethernet (ISO and TCP/IP)

You can parameterize the interfaces to different extents.

Please refer to the WinCC Information System to see which parameterization options are available.

You can call the interface configuration in the "Extended download to device" menu, for example. The icon for opening the interface configuration is located next to the drop-down list box of the PG/PC interface.

Figure 5-1

If you let the mouse pointer dwell on the interface configuration icon, a tooltip opens, which you can use to call additional information.

Alternatively, in the project tree under "Online", you can right-click the required interface and select the "Properties..." command in the pop-up menu.

6 Tips and Error Clearing


6 Tips and Error Clearing This chapter is designed to help you if problems should arise when transferring the configuration.

6.1 A Connection to the Operator Panel Cannot be Established

If a connection to the operator panel cannot be established, first check the points below.

• Cable

– Check the cable connection between configuration computer and operator panel.

– Check the bus connector. In particular the switch for the bus terminating resistors. Normally, the bus terminating resistor should be enabled if only one cable enters the MPI/PROFIBUS connector.

• Addresses

– Check the address set on the operator panel compared with the address set in the configuration.

– Check the network settings on the operator panel compared with the settings in the configuration (baud rate and highest station address (HSA)).

• Interface configuration (PG/PC interface)

– Check the settings of the PG/PC interface. Refer here to section 5.3.

If after running through these checks there is still no connection established, then check the point below.




6.2 Panel Not Displayed in the "Extended download to device" Dialog Window

If there is no connection to the operator panel displayed in the "Extended download to device" dialog window and you have already run the checks listed in section 6.1, then have all the network nodes on the subnet displayed.

The figure below shows the "Extended download to device" dialog with the "failed" connection setup.

Figure 6-1

Select the "Show all accessible devices" option field and then click the "Refresh" button if appropriate.

The table shows all the accessible devices in the target subnet (see figure below).



Figure 6-2

In this example, the operator panel to be accessed has the address 10. Mark the device and then click the "Load" button. The configuration is transferred to the operator panel.

6.3 Transfer Settings on the Operator Panel are Overwritten

You have made transfer settings on the operator panel. After downloading a project to the operator panel, the transfer settings are overwritten and you cannot make another project download.

• Make sure that you have assigned a subnet to the operator panel in the configuration.

• Check the settings you have made in the configuration under "Connections". The parameters stored there are adopted by the operator panel after a project download.




6.4 Operator Panel Does Not Change Automatically to Transfer Mode

If the operator panel does not switch automatically to Transfer Mode, then run through the points listed below for the operator panel.

• If messages are in the operator panel (message window is open), then close the relevant message window prior to project transfer.

• Check in the Control Panel whether "Remote Control" is enabled under Transfer Settings.

• If you do not want to enable "Remote Control", then switch the operator panel "manually" into Transfer Mode by means of the Control Panel.
