CHAPTER-I

Working With Projects

Opening the WinCC !plorer

"ntroduction

When you start WinCC, the WinCC !plorer normally opens.

fter installation, WinCC is entered in the start menu of the operating system. WinCC can $e

started with the 1WinCC 23.41 command.

The WinCC !plorer can also $e opened from the des"top or using the Windows !plorer.

#ote$

5f you only ha#e a runtime license installed on a computer, you can only wor" in the WinCC

!plorer or in a WinCC editor for one hour. 5f the WinCC !plorer or a WinCC editor

remains open for more than one hour, WinCC changes to the demonstration mode.

Principle

You can open the WinCC !plorer in the following ways:

• from the Windows /tart menu

• $y clic"ing the WinCC!plorer.e!e file in the Windows !plorer

• using a shortcut from the Windows )es"top


4/388

• in the Windows !plorer using a project file 6'7CT8.%C

• with utostart

• with a project that opens in utostart

You can start WinCC only once on a computer. 5f you attempt to open the WinCC !plorer

when it is already open, this will $e pre#ented without an error message. You can continue towor" normally in the open WinCC !plorer.

Start %ode o& the WinCC !plorer

Open project

When you start WinCC the first time, the WinCC !plorer is opened without a project.

Whene#er you start WinCC again, the last project you had open will $e opened again.

With the "ey com$ination 6/H50T8 and 6&T8, you can pre#ent WinCC from opening a project immediately. ress the 6/H50T8 "ey and the 6&T8 "ey when WinCC starts. 9eep

the "eys pressed until the window of the WinCC !plorer appears. The WinCC !plorer

opens without opening a project.

Acti'ated Project

5f the project was acti#ated when you e!ited WinCC runtime, it will $e opened in runtime

again when you restart WinCC.

5f you close a project and open another project that was opened the last time in the acti#ated

state, WinCC once again opens the project in runtime.

With the "ey com$ination 6/H50T8 and 6CT'&8, you can pre#ent WinCC acti#atingruntime immediately. ress the 6/H50T8 "ey and the 6CT'&8 while WinCC is opening.

9eep the "eys pressed until the project is open and displayed fully in the WinCC !plorer.

WinCC opens the last project without starting runtime.


Windows Start %enu

You can open the WinCC !plorer from the Windows /tart menu. 5n the folder 1/5%T5C1

8 1WinCC1, select the entry 1WinCC 23.41. WinCC !plorer opens.

Windows !plorer

You can start WinCC with the 1WinCC!plorer.e!e1 start file. You can locate the

1WinCC!plorer.e!e1 file in the Windows !plorer in your installation path in 1WinCC$in1.

Windows (esktop


5/388

You can create a shortcut for the 1WinCC!plorer.e!e1 file. You then place this shortcut on

the des"top of the computer.

Opening a Project in the Windows !plorer

You can start WinCC $y opening a WinCC project in the Windows !plorer. pen the file

6'7CT8.%C in the installation path of the project.

You can only start a project from the Windows !plorer when WinCC has not yet started.

Autostart

You can also start WinCC using utostart when the computer starts up. Create a shortcut forthe 1WinCC!plorer.e!e1 file and mo#e this shortcut to the 1utostart1 folder of your

computer. ach time you start the Windows system, WinCC will also $e started

automatically.

Opening the WinCC !plorer with a Project Open

You can close the WinCC !plorer without closing the open project. You can reopen theWinCC !plorer from the Windows /tart menu or $y clic"ing a shortcut on the des"top. This

also applies e#en if you open a project using utostart only in runtime.

)emote WinCC Startup

You can start WinCC of another computer in the networ". You will find more detailedinformation in the WinCC 5nformation /ystem under 1Configurations1 8 1%ulti-;ser

/ystems1 8 1'emote Configuration1.

Opening a Project

*+ile* , *Open* %enu Command

5n the WinCC !plorer, you open a project with the 1pen1 command in the 10ile1 menu. 5nthe 1pen1 window, select the project folder and open the project file 6'7CT8.%C.

*+ile* , *Last +ile* %enu Command

5n the 10ile1 menu, you can open one of the last files opened with the 1&ast 0ile1 menu

command. ;p to eight projects are displayed.

*Open* -utton

You can open a project with the $utton in the tool$ar.


6/388

Opening a Project with Autostart

You can open a specific project using utostart when your computer starts up. To do this, you

use the 1utostart1 tool of WinCC.

#ote$

5f you open a project while another project is acti#e in runtime, runtime is deacti#ated andthe pre#iously acti#e project is closed.


"ntroduction

When you close the WinCC !plorer, you normally close the project that was last open at thesame time.

5f runtime is acti#ated, or if you ha#e opened a WinCC editor, you can close the WinCC

!plorer separately. The project remains open and acti#e if it was already acti#e. pen

editors are not closed. You can open the WinCC !plorer again from the Windows /tart

menu or from a shortcut on the des"top.

You can close the WinCC !plorer regardless of whether a project is open. The rele#ant

WinCC processes continue to run in the $ac"ground. When you open the WinCC !plorer

again, WinCC does not need to reload the project data and the !plorer ta"es less time toopen.

Principle

You can e!it WinCC in the following ways:

•

With the 1!it1 menu command in the WinCC !plorer menu $ar • With the 1/hut )own1 menu command in the WinCC !plorer menu $ar

• With the 1Close1 $utton

• When you shut down Windows

• With a C action in the acti#ated project


7/388

#ote$

fter starting, WinCC always opens the last project that was open $efore you e!ited. 5f the

project was acti#ated when you e!ited WinCC, it will $e opened in runtime again.

Closing the WinCC !plorer

*+ile* %enu *!it* Command

You close the WinCC !plorer with the 1!it1 menu command in the 10ile1 menu. The 1!it

WinCC !plorer1 dialog $o! opens.

5n the list $o!, you can select one of the following options:

Close project and e!it WinCC!plorer

5f acti#e, the project is also deacti#ated and closed. TheWinCC !plorer and all open WinCC editors are closed.

!it WinCC !plorer nly the WinCC !plorer closes. The project remains open

and acti#e if it was already acti#e. WinCC editors remain

open.

*+ile* %enu *Shut (own* Command

5n the 10ile1 menu of the menu $ar, there is a command called 1/hut )own1. )epending on

your computer configuration, you can e!it WinCC with 1/hut )own1 and at the same time

shut down the computer.

*Close* -utton

You can close the WinCC !plorer with the $utton in the top right corner of the window .

!iting Windows

When you e!it Windows or log off the current user, WinCC closes completely.

C Action in the Acti'ated Project

You can, for e!ample, configure a $utton in the project with which you can e!it Windows. To

do this, you use the 1!it WinCC1 or 1!it WinCC or Windows1 dynamic wi

Types o& Project

"ntroduction

There are three types of project a#aila$le in WinCC:

• /ingle-user project

• %ulti-user project

• Client project

Single2User Project"ntroduction

5f you only want to wor" with one computer in a WinCC project, create a single-user project.

The WinCC project runs on one computer that functions as the ser#er for processing the data

and as an operator input station. ther computers cannot access the project.

Principle

The computer on which you create the single-user project is configured as a ser#er.

The computer is connected to the programma$le controller #ia the process communication.

)edundancy

You can also create a single-user project as a redundant system. 5n this case, you configure a

single-user project with a second redundant ser#er.

Archi'e Ser'er

You can also create an archi#e ser#er for a single-user project. 5n this case, you configure asingle-user project and a second ser#er on which the data of the single-user project is

archi#ed.

%ulti2User Project

"ntroduction


16/388

5f you only want to wor" with se#eral computers in a WinCC project, create a multi-user

project.

0or a multi-user system, there are two $asic options:

• %ulti-user system with one or more ser#ers:

/e#eral ser#ers with one or more clients. ne client accesses se#eral ser#ers. The

runtime data is distri$uted on different ser#ers. The configuration data is on the

ser#ers and on the clients.

• %ulti-user system with only one ser#er:

ne ser#er with one or more clients. ll the data is on the ser#er.

Principle

You create a multi-user project on the ser#er. The ser#er is connected to the programma$le

controller #ia the process communication.

5n the multi-user project, you configure the clients that access the ser#er. 5n a second step,

you create the reuired client projects on the rele#ant computers.

5f you want to wor" with se#eral ser#ers, duplicate the multi-user project on the second

ser#er. dapt the duplicated project accordingly. You can also create a second multi-user

project on the second ser#er that is independent of the project on the first ser#er.

ser#er can also access another ser#er in the role of client. You can use this option, fore!ample, when you use an archi#e ser#er or a file ser#er.

Client Project

"ntroduction

5f you create a multi-user project, you must then create the clients that access the ser#er. Youcreate a client program on the computer that will $e used as a client.

0or a WinCC client, there are two $asic options:

• %ulti-user system with one or more ser#ers:

The client accesses se#eral ser#ers. The runtime data is distri$uted on different

ser#ers. The configuration data on the multi-user projects is on the rele#ant ser#ers.There may $e local configuration data in the client projects on the clients: ictures,

scripts, and tags.

• %ulti-user system with only one ser#er:

The client accesses a single ser#er. ll the data is located on the ser#er and isreferenced on the clients.

n archi#e ser#er or a file ser#er can also access another ser#er in the role of client.


17/388

#ote$

The WinCC client replaces the clients and multi-clients that were used in WinCC up to

#ersion 2D.F. )epending on the configuration, a WinCC client ta"es o#er the role of a 2D.F

client or a 2D.F multi-client.

Principle

You create a multi-user project on the ser#er. The ser#er is connected to the programma$le

controller #ia the process communication. 5n the multi-user project, you create the clients that

access the ser#er.

5f you configure a multi-user system with only one ser#er, you do not create a separate client

project on the WinCC client.

5f you configure a multi-user system with se#eral ser#ers, you must create a separate client

project on each client. This also applies when you only want to access one ser#er $ut reuireadditional configuration data on the client.

%ulti2User System with One or %ore Ser'ers

To access more than one ser#er, you create a client project on the client. You specify the

project properties on the WinCC client.

n the ser#er, you create pac"ages using the /er#erdata component. The pac"ages contain allthe important configuration data of the multi-user project. You load the pac"ages on the

WinCC client.

You only need to create and compile the pac"ages once manually. 5f the configuration data on

a ser#er is modified, WinCC automatically generates the reuired pac"ages. The pac"agescan $e downloaded to the clients automatically or manually.

Central Ser'er Con&iguration &or a %ulti2User System with One Ser'er

5f you want to configure a client that accesses only one ser#er, specify all the settings in the

multi-user system on the ser#er. When you edit the startup list of the client, you should onlystart applications that are actually reuired on the client.

You do not create a separate project on the client. You start the ser#er project using remoteaccess. You will find more detailed information in the WinCC 5nformation /ystem under

1Configurations1 8 1%ulti-;ser /ystems1.

We1 Client


18/388

You can configure a client that accesses the ser#er o#er the intranet or o#er the 5nternet. 5f

you reuire this type of access, you create a We$ client with the WinCC We$ =a#igator

option.

0ow to Create a Project

"ntroduction

5f you want to create a new project, you must first ma"e se#eral $asic settings in WinCC.

Based on these settings, WinCC creates a project that you can edit immediately.

Principle

0ollow the steps outlined $elow when creating a project:

• )efine project type

• /pecify the project name and project folder

• 5f reuired, enter the name of the configuration engineer, the project #ersion, and a

comment

• /pecify the computer properties

• /pecify the settings for runtime

You can specify the computer properties and the settings for runtime immediately aftercreating the project or during configuration. 0or more detailed information, referred to the

Acti'ating a Project

"ntroduction

5f you wish to operate and o$ser#e a process , you must acti#ate the respecti#e project.

WinCC starts runtime and acti#ates communication with the programma$le controller. ll process data is stored in the runtime data$ases.

This section e!plains

• the settings you can ma"e in runtime

• how to acti#ate a project

• how to deacti#ate a project

• how to acti#ate a project automatically when you $oot your computer

#ote$

When you start WinCC or open a project, holding down the "eys 6CT'& @ /H50T8 pre#entsWinCC from acti#ating runtime at the same time.

When starting WinCC, if you hold down the "eys 6&T @ /H50T8, you pre#ent WinCC

opening a project at the same time. This also pre#ents runtime $eing started at the same time.

Settings you can make in runtime

"ntroduction

When you acti#ate a project, additional program modules reuired for e!ecution in runtime

are loaded. 5n the startup list, you specify which applications will $e started when youacti#ate a project.

)epending on the configuration, WinCC itself enters some applications in the startup list.

(raphics 'untime is always started and is acti#ated as default.

To achie#e $etter performance, you should only start applications that you actually reuire in

runtime.

CHAPTER-II

Creating (ata -ase o& Tags

Tag %anagement

"ntroduction

Tag %anagement administers the tags and communication dri#ers used in the project. You

will find Tag %anagement in the na#igation window of WinCC !plorer.

Usage

Tags with #alues supplied $y the process are referred to as process or e!ternal tags in WinCC.

5n the case of process tags, Tag %anagement determines the communication dri#er $y meansof which WinCC is connected to the automation system and how the e!change of data is

ta"ing place. The associated tags are created in the directory structure of this communication

dri#er.

Tags not supplied with #alues $y the process, "nown as the 1internal tags1, are created in the15nternal Tags1 directory.


33/388

To pro#ide a $etter o#er#iew, you can arrange the tags in Tag %anagement in groups.

Creating tags in Tag %anagement leads to a directory structure in which you can na#igate in

a manner similar to Windows directories.

Con&iguration o& Tag %anagement

#a'igation window

You will find Tag %anagement in the na#igation window of WinCC !plorer.

5nternal tags and associated tag groups will $e found in the 15nternal Tags1 directory.

WinCC creates a new directory in Tag %anagement for each communication dri#er that is set

up. ;nder the communication dri#er you will find a channel unit, its connections andassociated tag groups and process tags.

Tag %anagement uses the following icons:

• The current process #alue of a tag

• The uality code of a tag

• The date on which a tag was last changed

• &icense: =um$er of licensed process tags >power tags?

+ind

5n Tag %anagement you can open the search function from the shortcut menu.

You can search for tags, tag groups, connections, channel units and communication dri#ers.

Tag %anagement and tags

"ntroduction

Communication $etween WinCC and the automation system ta"es place $y means of

communication dri#ers. )ata generated $y the automation system or the WinCC project are

transferred $y means of tags.

This chapter pro#ides infomation on managing tags and on the different types of tags.

Tags

"ntroduction

)ata are passed on in a WinCC project $y means of tags. tag has a data address and a

sym$olic name, which is used in the project. The data address is used in communication withthe automation system.

WinCC wor"s with two "inds of tags:


36/388

• rocess tags

• 5nternal Tags

WinCC simplifies tag handling $y means of two other o$ject types:

• Tag groups

• /tructure types

=ame con#entions

When naming tags, you must respect certain con#entions:

• Tag names must $e uniue throughout the project. When tags are created, WinCC

does not distinguish $etween upper and lower case characters in a name.

• Tag names must not $e longer than FIK characters. 5n the case of structure tags, this

limit applies to the whole e!pression 1structure tag name @ dot @ structure tag

element name1.

• You must not use certain characters in tag names. You will find the characters youmust not include in a name in the WinCC 5nformation /ystem at 1Wor"ing with

projects1 8 1uthori


37/388

You can also create tags e!ternal to WinCC and import them into your project.

0or e!ample, you can esta$lish a connection to the WinCC configuration tool for your project

and create the tags with the help of the configuration tool in an !cel ta$le. You assign

certain properties to these tags in the ta$le. WinCC can use the configuration tool to read inthe data and then automatically creates the tags with the specified properties.

Process Tags

(e&inition

You use process tags for communication $etween WinCC and the automation system.

The properties of process tags depend on the communication dri#er $eing used. Therefore,

create process tags in Tag %anagement also under a specific communication dri#er, its

channel unit and its connections.

You can set the following properties for process tags:

• =ame

• )ata type

• ddress on the channel unit

• dapt format

• &imit #alues

•

/tart #alue

• 'eplacement #alue

• /caling

#ote$

rocess tags are also referred to 1e!ternal tags1 on the system.

Usa1le data types

You can use the following data types for process tags:


38/388

• Binary tag

• /igned K-$it #alue

• ;nsigned K-$it #alue

• /igned F3-$it #alue

• ;nsigned F3-$it #alue

• /igned MI-$it #alue

• ;nsigned MI-$it #alue

• 0loating-point num$er MI-$it 5 JDA

• 0loating-point num$er 3A-$it 5 JDA

• Te!t tag K-$it

• Te!t tag F3-$it character set

• 'aw data tag

Licensing o& Power Tags

0or WinCC, you purchase licenses to $e a$le to use a certain num$er of process tags and

archi#e tags.

ower tags are licensed process tags. With a license co#ering F4IA power tags, for e!ample,

you are a$le to operate a WinCC project in 'untime on a computer which uses up to F4IA process tags. The num$er of licensed and configured process tags will $e seen in the status

$ar of WinCC !plorer.

&icenses are di#ided into the following types

• 1'C1: for configuration and 'untime of a certain num$er of process tags

• 1'T1: only for 'untime of a certain num$er of process tags

#ote$

The process tags reuired for the 1/ystem 5nfo1 channel need no licenses. Thus, the tags are

not entered in the license count.


39/388

"nternal Tags

(e&inition

5nternal tags are not connected to the process.

You use 5nternal tags to manage data within a project or to transfer data to an archi#e.

You can set the following properties for internal tags:

• =ame

• )ata type

• ;pdates project-wideGon local computers >only rele#ant with multi-user projects

without additional client projects?

• &imit #alues

• /tart #alue

Usa1le data types

You can use the following data types for internal tags:

• Te!t reference

• Binary tag

• /igned K-$it #alue

• ;nsigned K-$it #alue

• /igned F3-$it #alue

• ;nsigned F3-$it #alue

• /igned MI-$it #alue

• ;nsigned MI-$it #alue

• 0loating-point num$er MI-$it 5 JDA

• 0loating-point num$er 3A-$it 5 JDA

• Te!t tag K-$it


40/388

• Te!t tag F3-$it character set

• 'aw data tag

System tags

WinCC applications create tags reuired for internal administration of the project. The names

of these tags $egin with an 1O1 character. You cannot delete or rename these tags. You can

e#aluate, $ut not change, the #alue of the tag.

!ceptions to this rule are tags created with the 1'edundancy1 option. They can $e set $y

means of scripts, for e!ample:

• O'%P%/T'

• O'%P%/T'P=%

#ote$

You must not create tags whose name starts with an NON. Tags with an O prefi! are created

only $y WinCC and C/ J.

Structure types and structure tags

(e&inition

WinCC /tructure types simplify the creation of se#eral tags ha#ing identical properties.

)esignation )efinition )isplayed in...

/tructure

type

structure type denotes a scheme that is used in

WinCC to create a certain group of tags. structure

type contains at least one structure element.

Component 1/tructure

/tructure tag

structure tag is a tag that was created with the help

of a structure type. The template of a structure tag is a

structure element.

The name of a structure tag consists of the name of the

help of structure type.

/tructure

instance

5f the tags defined in a structure type are created withthe help of the structure type, a structure instance

occurs. The structure instances created with the same

structure type are displayed under this structure type

in the data window.

The name of a structure instance is also referred to as

the tag prefi!.


Types1 8 /tructure Type

Principle

You define a certain tag structure when you create a structure type.

You create a structure type in WinCC !plorer. You create a structure element for each tag.You assign the properites to a structure element which the tag created $y that should possess.

When creating a tag, assign a created structure type as data type. The structure types aredisplayed in the 1)ata Type1 selection window according to standard data types. WinCC

creates a structure instance under the associated structure type and the structure tags in Tag%anagement. The created structure tags are defined $y the structure elements of this type.

5n the same structue type, you can define structure elements for internal tags and process

tags. When a structure instance is created under the connection of a communication dri#er,

the process tags defined in the structure type are created under the connection. The internaltags, howe#er, are created in Tag %anagement at 15nternal tags1.

%odi&ying structure types

5f you ha#e created a structure instance with a structure type, you can no longer modify the

properties of this structure type. You must first delete the structure instance. 5n doing so, youalso delete all associated structure tags. fter that you can change the properties of the

structure type and the structure elemets and regenerate a structue instance.

You can modify the properties of structure instances and structure tags later. 5f you rename

the structure instance, then rename the associated tags at the same time.

Usage

5f a certain tag configuration occurs se#eral times in your system, use structure types. 5n thisinstance, for e!ample, se#eral temperature controllers can $e in#ol#ed that are always set up

according to the same principle.

Consider which tags you re3uire &or the temperature controller.

Then create a T%'T;' structure type in which each tag is represented $y a structure

element, for e!ample &%=TPF, &%=TPI, &%=TPM. ach time you create a


42/388

new structure instance with this structure type, WinCC automatically generates all structure

tags for the corresponding temperature regulator.

You use the created structure tags when, for e!ample, you configure pictures which you

would li"e to integrate $y means of picture windows.

Structure types in picture windows

You configure a picture, T%P'(&'.)&, for the temperature regulator. You do not

connect the o$jects in the picture with tags $ut with structure elements.

To do this, you ha#e to enter the name manually, since you cannot directly enter elements $y

means of a dialog $o!. lternati#ely, you can connect structure tags you ha#e created anddelete the first part of the name, which is determined $y the structure instance. You lin" e.g.

the structure tags of the structure '(&'P. 5n the tag name displayed, e.g.

'(&'P.&%=TPF, delete the '(&'P and the lin"ing point in the input field.

Configure a picture window and integrate the picture T%P'(&'.)&. pen the o$ject properties of the picture window. ccept one of the created structure instances with a dot

$ehind the name, such as 1C=T'&&'P.1, as the tag prefi!.

Configure a second picture window with the picture T%P'(&'.)& and the ne!t

structure instance, e.g. '(&'PB, as tag prefi!, e.g. 1'(&'PB.1.

5n 'untime, WinCC composes the names of the reuired structure tags from the following

elements:

• Tag prefi!es of the picture window

• =ames of the structure elements lin"ed in the pictureT%P'(&'.)&

Then the first picture window displays the state of regulator and the second picture windowthe state of regulator B.

#ame con'entions

When naming, you must respect certain con#entions:

• Tag names must $e uniue throughout the project. When tags are created, WinCC

does not distinguish $etween upper and lower case characters in a name.

• Tag names must not $e longer than FIK characters. 5n the case of structure tags, this

limit applies to the whole e!pression 1structure tag name @ dot @ structure tag

element name1.

• There are certain characters which you cannot use in the names of structure types,

structre elements and structure tags. You will find the characters you must not includein a name in the WinCC 5nformation /ystem at 1Wor"ing with projects1 8 1=on-

authori


43/388

You must not create tags whose name starts with an NON. Tags with an O prefi! are created

only $y WinCC and C/ J.

=ote:

'emem$er that WinCC distinguishes $etween upper and lower case characters in a

configuration. 5f you change upper and lower case characters in a tag name, you must adaptyour configuration accordingly.

Tag groups

(e&inition

You can sort your tags into tag groups in Tag %anagement.

You create a tag group as a directory at 15nternal tags1 or at the connection of a channel unit.

/u$groups are not possi$le.

Usage

When creating a large num$er of tags in your project, you can com$ine them in groupsaccording to su$ject.

You can create, for e!ample, a tag group for e#ery picture in your project. You create the tags

you use in one of your pictures in the appropriate group.

5n this way WinCC ma"es it easier for you to assign and retrie#e tags.

#ame con'entions

The names of tag groups must $e uniue in the whole project. You must use a namesimultaneously for tags and tag groups. When tags and tag groups are created, WinCC does

not distinguish $etween upper and lower case characters in a name.

You must not use certain characters in the names of tag groups. You will find the characters

you must not include in a name in the WinCC 5nformation /ystem at 1Wor"ing with projects18 1=on-authori

Tag types

"ntroduction

When you create a tag, you assign one of the possi$le data types to the tag.

This data type depends on the type of data for which you would li"e to use the tag.

#ote$


47/388

5f you modify the data type of an e!isting process tag, the pre#iously defined tag address is

deleted. This reason for this is that the &C address changes when the data type is modified.

Adapt &ormat

The data type of a tag in WinCC can differ from the data type used in the automation system.

You can then set that WinCC con#erts the data type of a tag for transfer to the automationsystem.

You use te!t references, for e!ample, when you want to display different $loc"s of te!talternately. You assign the corresponding te!t 5) of the entry in the Te!t &i$rary to the tag.

Creating a te!t re&erence

!ternal Tags

"ntroduction


64/388

WinCC tags are reuired to access specific data in an /. These tags, which reuire a

connection to an /, are referred to as e!ternal tags. Tags, which do not ha#e a process

connection, are called internal tags.

(ata Types and Type Con'ersion

When configuring e!ternal tags, in addition to the tag name, you must also specify a datatype and - for some data types - a type con#ersion:

The data type agrees with the data format in WinCC. Type con#ersion determines thecon#ersion from / format to WinCC format. The type con#ersion applies in $othtransmission directions:

• in the /: e.g. for certain functions >such as timer #alues G BC) displays? or #ia the

information to $e addressed >such as $yte address, word address in data $loc" or 5G

range?

• in WinCC: e.g. for analog #alues - for processing or calculating.

s a rule, the / data format is fi!ed. There are then the following options for selecting the

WinCC format:

• The WinCC data format can match the / format. 0or this purpose, select the type

con#ersion, which uses the same format on $oth ends and considers the sign of theWinCC data type, e.g. 1WordTo/ignedWord1. 5f this cannot $e achie#ed with the

selected data type, change it in WinCC.

• The WinCC format follows the #alue processing in WinCC.

You must o$ser#e the following points when selecting the data type and - if necessary - type

con#ersion:

• /ign: /hould it $e considered in the con#ersionR Can negati#e tag #alues occur during

operationR >for e!ample, when differences in regulation #alues are presented in

percent?

• 2alue range: )o the tag #alues, which can occur in operation, all fall within the #alue

range a#aila$le in each format or is it possi$le that the #alue could o#erflow the range

in WinCC or on the /R 5n the e#ent of an o#erflow, a #alue may not $e possi$le to

display on the end or may lead to an error in the later processing.

• )ifferent type con#ersions with the same #alue range: 5t is possi$le that se#eral

con#ersions of a data type may ha#e the same #alue range, e.g.

1ByteTo;nsigned)word1 and 1ByteTo;nsignedWord1 with the #alue range 4...FIJU.

f 5n such cases you should always determine the format of the data on the / andchec" whether this format is not perhaps o#er-dimensioned and thus wasting

resources. >e.g. )Word instead of Word?.


65/388

5f the #alue range reuired in the / is not co#ered $y the selected type con#ersion, change

the data type in WinCC.

WinCC (ata Types and Type Con'ersion

The following ta$le shows which WinCC data types support type con#ersion.

When using type con#ersions, ma"e certain that the data sent from the / can $e interpreted

$y WinCC within the selected type con#ersion. 5f the data cannot $e interpreted $y WinCC,an error will $e logged in the file 1WinCCPsysP4!.log1 in the directory

1../iemensWinCC)iagnose1.

Linear Scaling o& #umerical Tag Types

&inear scaling can $e used with numerical data types. The #alue range of a #alue in a process

can $e represented linearly in a specific #alue range of a WinCC tag.


66/388

s an e!ample, a process could reuire that a nominal #alue $e entered in the unit $arU,

while WinCC should permit the user to enter this #alue in m$arU. ;sing linear scaling, the

#alue range in the process 4 ...FU can $e con#erted to the #alue range 4 ...F444U of theWinCC tag.

Setting Te!t Tag Lengths

You must set the length of tags with the data type 1Te!t Tag K-Bit Character /et1 or 1Te!t Tag

F3-Bit Character /et1. te!t tag, which should later ta"e F4 characters, must $e assigned a

length of F4 in the case of an 1K-Bit Character /et1 or, in the case of a 1F3-Bit Character /et1,a length of I4.

Addressing in an Automation System

WinCC tags are assigned to data areas in the /. They must addressed in a particular manner

in the /. The type of addressing depends on the type of communication partner.

0ow to create a new connection
