Overview of the overall solution

The simple structure of this example project includes one master station which
communicates with two other stations, whereby station 2 is used as a node station.
master CPU: CPU 314 with TIM 3V-IE Advanced
node station: CPU 314 with TIM 3V-IE Advanced
station: CPU 314 with TIM 3V-IE
Each CPU of the two stations includes a simple controller for the relevant pump.
The pump signals are simulated by the user program.

2.2 Description of the functionality
Structure
The master station consists of a CPU 314 with a TIM 3V-IE Advanced
communication module. It is connected to the node station via the Ethernet
interface integrated in the TIM 3V-IE module.
The node station consists of a CPU 314, a TIM 3V-IE Advanced module and an
MD2 dedicated line modem. This modem provides connection to the station via
dedicated line. As this station requires the use of a TIM module with two WAN
interfaces, a TIM 3V-IE Advanced module has been selected instead of a module
type TIM3V-IE.
The structure of the station is similar to that of the node station with the only
difference that it is equipped with a TIM 3V-IE and not with a TIM 3V-IE Advanced
module.
In the following, the term station refers to both the node station (station 2) and
the station 3.
Note
Delimitation
This application does not include any programs relevant to the technology for pump
control or coordination. It is only used to demonstrate the data exchange between
the master and the stations. It has been deliberately kept simple, so as to illustrate
the data correlations in the CPUs.
Required knowledge
Basic knowledge of STEP 7 is assumed.
2.2
Description of the functionality
Basic function principle

Our intention was to find an easy example that demonstrates the process
simulated in the controller. It consists of two parallel pumps that feed into a
common pipeline. In this configuration, hydraulic interactions or protective circuits
remain unconsidered. The sliders and valves are illustrated as symbols (uncolored
in this diagram), but are not activated.

2.2 Description of the functionality
The pumps in stations 2 and 3 can be operated by means of a table of variables.
The options for operating the example plant are restricted. The following operating
modes and operating statuses are available:
Operating mode:
manual
automatic
Operating status in manual mode:
ON
OFF
When starting the example system for the first time, the two stations are in
automatic mode and the pump in station 2 is set to ON. As long as the operating
modes of the two stations remain in this mode, the pumps will switch over
automatically at 30-second intervals, i.e. the pump in station 2 will be set to OFF
and the pump in station 3 will be set to ON, etc. Station 2 is used as master for
this cyclic switch-over operation.
The operating mode can be selected independently for each aggregate. In
manual mode, the operating status can be selected as desired for each
aggregate.
This leads to the following rules:
Both stations in automatic mode
Always one pump at a time is in the operating status ON (after system

start, this is the pump of station 2). The other pump is set to OFF.
When the pump of station 3 is automatically set to ON (at 30-second

intervals), the pump of station 2 will automatically be switched OFF.
In automatic mode, the pumps cannot be operated manually. In this case,

the error message "not controllable" will be displayed. This error message
remains present until the next valid command is received or the next cyclic
switchover is performed.
Station 2 in automatic mode, station 3 in manual mode
If the pump of station 3 is set to ON manually while the pump of station 2

is active, the pump of station 2 will be turned OFF automatically.
If the pump of station 3 is active and turned OFF manually, the pump of
station 2 will be switched ON automatically.
When one pump is set to manual mode, an automatic switchover at

30-second intervals is not possible.
The rules for station 2 being automatic and station 3 being in manual mode
apply vice versa, if station 3 is set to automatic and station 2 to manual mode.
Both stations in manual mode
For the pumps in the stations 2 and 3 any ON and OFF combination is
possible:

3 Basics on Telecontrol with SIMATIC

3.1 SINAUT Telecontrol
Basics on Telecontrol with SIMATIC

This chapter provides newcomers to the SINAUT telecontrol system with a brief
overview of its manifold options.
3.1
SINAUT Telecontrol
SINAUT Telecontrol (Siemens Network Automation) is based on SIMATIC S7. It
supplements the system with the hardware and software required to interconnect
the individual components via WAN (wide area network).
In the context of WAN services, the SINAUT system offers a variety of solutions for
data transmission via conventional WAN connections, such as dedicated copper
lines, telephone networks, radio etc., but also via modern WAN connections based
on Ethernet-technology, such as broadband systems or the internet.
On the basis of SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400 and WinCC, SINAUT ST7 is a very
versatile telecontrol system for the fully automated monitoring and control of
decentralized process stations, which enables data exchange between these
stations and with one or several control center stations over a variety of WAN
media.
3.2
SINAUT TD7 Library

SINAUT ST7 communication between two CPUs or between a CPU and a control
center (e.g. ST7cc) via WAN or Ethernet can be realized only with the help of the
SINAUT TD7 software.
The TD7 software is available in the following two variants:
TD7onCPU
This software is used on the CPU and its installation is mandatory for all
stations equipped with TIM modules without TD7onTIM. Configuration is
effected in the SIMATIC Manager.
TD7onTIM
This software can only be used in TIM modules suitable for TD7onTIM (e.g.
TIM 3V-IE, TIM 3V-IE Advanced or TIM4R-IE); it is part of the TIM firmware
and can be used only in combination with S7 300 systems.
In TIM modules suitable for TD7onTIM, the TD7 software may also be used as
a TD7onCPU in the CPU. Configuration is effected with the SINAUT ST7
configuration tool.
The use of both TD7 variants in one station is not admissible!
Note
3.3
The SINAUT TD7 library TD7onCPU
3.3.1
Overview of the library

The SINAUT TD7 library TD7onCPU includes:
Basic and auxiliary blocks

Most of these blocks are always required in the CPU. The basic blocks are
used to perform some fundamental tasks such as startup, connection
monitoring, communication management, etc. The auxiliary blocks are used for
supportive communication tasks.
SINAUT_WAN
V1.2, Article ID: 48283510
13

3.3 The SINAUT TD7 library TD7onCPU
Data point typicals

These blocks are integrated in the CPU program as required for the types and
volumes of data to be transmitted. They are used to compile messages on
request or if data is modified and output received process data.
The TD7 package requires several data blocks for each CPU. The central records
DB and the communication DBs are generated automatically by the SINAUT ST7
configuration tool when the SINAUT connections are configured and then stored in
the program directory for the relevant CPU.
In addition to the above data blocks, the SINAUT ST7 configuration tool also stores
the basic and auxiliary blocks essential for program execution in the CPU program
directory.
So, you only need to copy the required data point typicals from the SINAUT TD7
library to the CPU program directory before you start creating the SINAUT user
program.
The blocks stored in the CPU program directory by the SINAUT ST7 configuration
tool are available both as single blocks in the Blocks directory and as an STL
source file in the Sources directory named TD7_UserSource.
3.3.2
Structure of the SINAUT user program

The SINAUT program consists of various blocks, most of which are generated
automatically.
The function blocks for the processing of process data, the user-specific function
blocks, such as the FB10 in this application example (includes a small program to
simulate the pump signals and the automatic switchover between the pumps), and
some further optional blocks of the TD7 software are copied to the blocks directory
for the CPU as required by the user. The individual blocks are called by the cyclic
OB1 program.
The table below shows an example of an OB1 program structure for a model
station which, however, is not identical with the station in this example project. This
table includes only a selection of possible blocks.

3.3 The SINAUT TD7 library TD7onCPU
Table 3-1
Cyclic OB1
BasicTask
TimeTask
- FC BasicTask is always called at the start of the cyclic SINAUT

program. This FC includes only the parameter UserFC
(normally = 0). When receive messages are to be processed on
a user-specific basis, enter the number of the FC that contains
the user program for further processing.
- As an option, the FC TimeTask can be called next. This FC
does not include any parameters. The FC TimeTask must be
used, if the SINAUT time is required. The SINAUT time enables
SINAUT messages to be time-stamped, the start of program
components at a specified time or the scheduled transmission
of data messages. In this case, the FC Trigger described below
will be required.
Trigger
- FC Trigger can be included as an option. The output of this FC

is set for the duration of one OB1 cycle when the point in time or
the time interval set for this FC has been reached.
ListGenerator
- FC ListGenerator300 (for S7-300 CPUs) can be included as an

option. This FC is required, if the station receives messages
that contain an incomplete or no destination address at all.
Subsequent to the above FCs for the execution of SINAUT
basic tasks, data point typicals for data transmission and receipt
are called.
Usually, these data point typicals include
objects to be sent, such as binary information (alarms, status

messages), analog values or counted values
objects to be received, such as commands or setpoints

All data point typicals are FBs. When an FB is called, an instance
DB must be specified. The number of this instance DB is
identical to the object number of the data point object.

- For the acquisition and transmission of analog values
The user-specific cyclic program of the station which is required

independently of the SINAUT program, can be integrated in OB 1
before or after the SINAUT program or, where appropriate, within
the SINAUT program itself.

3.4 The SINAUT TD7 library TD7onTIM
3.4
The SINAUT TD7 library TD7onTIM

With the help of SINAUT objects, the TIM modules suitable for TD7onTIM take
over all tasks of the local CPU, so as to reduce the capacity requirements in the
CPUs main memory. SINAUT objects consist of
system objects
data objects
System objects provide system-relevant information for the CPU user program.
The transmission and receipt of process data is configured with the help of
standardized data objects.
SINAUT offers data objects with different data areas. Each data object may contain
one or several send or receive channels. The data object Bin04B_S (S at the end
for send), for example, includes four send channels for the transmission of four
bytes, the data object Cmd01B_R (R at the end for receive) includes one channel
for receiving one byte.
The management and configuration of data objects for the TIM module is
performed with the ST7 configuration tool. The data objects for the TIM can be
added with the help of a standard library. The parameters for the data objects are
assigned in two steps:
16
Definition of the basic parameters for the data objects (e.g. partner to which the
data of the objects shall be sent or from where they shall be received)
Configuration of the channel-specific properties of the individual send and

receive channels, e.g. memory area, byte address.

TIM communication modules

The communication module TIM (Telecontrol Interface Module) is a central
component of the SINAUT ST7 hardware. It is used to manage the data traffic via
WAN network for the S7 CPU or control center PC.

4 Function Mechanisms of this Application

4.1 General overview
Function Mechanisms of this Application
4.1
General overview
Communication between the stations is effected by means of the SINAUT ST7
protocol which is generally used for WAN communication between remote (and
local) subscribers in SINAUT ST7 systems. The communication modules used in
the stations are the TIM module variants TIM 3V-IE and TIM 3V-IE Advanced.
For stations equipped with an IE-TIM module, there are two TD7 software variants
for SINAUT communication one for operation on the CPU (TD7onCPU) and one
for operation on the TIM module (TD7onTIM).
In order to demonstrate both variants, the TD7 software in this example project has
been configured as follows:
TD7onCPU for the master and station 2
TD7onTIM for station 3

4.1 General overview
WAN communication (e.g. via dedicated line or telephone network) and one
Ethernet interface.
This application example demonstrates the communication between master and
node station (station 2) via Ethernet, as well as the communication between
node station and station 3 via dedicated line.
Each of the pumps configured for the stations 2 and 3 can be operated via the
variable table (VAT). The transmission of messages between these stations can be
tracked with the help of the VAT and the TIM message protocol of the SINAUT
Diagnostics and Service tool.
Communication
Each SINAUT partner is provided with a unique SINAUT subscriber number. This
number is required for connection and object configuration.
Communication is possible between the following stations:

In this application example, the SINAUT user program only includes:
the startup program OB100

used to call the ST7 startup block FC Startup.
the cyclic program OB1

consisting of only the basic block FC BasicTask, the pump simulation block
FB10 and the blocks of the required TD7 data point typicals.
The figure below shows the blocks of the CPU of station 2 with the TD7 software
configured as TD7onCPU.
Figure 4-2
The cyclic program of OB1 of station 2

The figure below describes the block OB1 of station 2. It shows that FC127
(BasicTask), FC121 (TimeTask) and FC119 (ListGenerator300) are called first.
Then the data point typicals for the send binary values (Bin04B_S), the
commands (Cmd01B_R), the receive binary values (Bin04B_R) and the pump
simulation program (FB10) are called.
FC121 (TimeTask) is not obligatory in this example project.

Pump simulation program in FB10

For this example project, a simple simulation program has been generated in FB10
which reflects the behavior of the pumps. Furthermore, it initiates the switchover
between the two pumps at 30-second intervals when the pumps are operated in
automatic mode. This block is used in both the CPU of station 2 and of station 3.

4.3 Object parameters for TD7onTIM on station 3

Since the TD7 software in station 3 has been configured as TD7onTIM on the
TIM 3V-IE module, the block directory of the CPU of station 3 only includes OB1,
FB10 and DB10.
Please see the list below that shows the parameters for the data objects and
channels configured in TD7onTIM on the TIM module in station 3.
In theory, the memory byte MB11 could also have been transmitted with MB10 in
one message. Here, the pump signals of station 3 are split into 2 messages /
memory bytes. The operating status information (MB10) is sent to the master and
to station 2, the error message (MB20), however, is only transmitted to the master.
Some bits for error and alarm messages have not been assigned in this automation
solution.

Operate the example project by entering commands in

the row of the relevant control bit in the Control value

8.2 Operation and monitoring via the table of variables (VAT)
The bit assignment of MB10 and MB11 is as follows:
Bit 0: operating mode AUTOMATIC
Bit 1: operating mode MANUAL
Bit 2: operating status OFF
Bit 3: operating status ON
Bit 4: not assigned
Bit 5: error message not controllable
Bit 6: not assigned
Bit 7: not assigned
When starting the project for the first time, both stations are set to automatic
mode and the pump of station 2 is in the operating status On (bit 0 of MB10 set
to 1). If the two pumps remain in automatic mode, they will change their operating
status at 30-second intervals, i.e. the pump of station 2 will change from On to Off,
the pump in station 3 will change from Off to On, and so on.
During this cyclic switchover operation, station 2 is defined as master.

Comments
Click the icon

(control value) to transmit the
entered value to the CPU.
The value 1 entered as control value will then be set
to true (0 would be set to false).
The status value of the pump (in MB 10) changes over
to 0000_0110, i.e. the pump is in manual mode (bit
1 has the value 1) and in the operating status off (bit 2
has the value 1).
Delete all control values entered in the Control value
column before the next entry.
Note
Always delete all entries in the Control value column before you enter new
control values; otherwise previous entries may lead to a 1-out-of-n error
(transmission of 2 commands), or to setpoint messages within one OB1 cycle
and/or a 1-out-of-8 error (transmission of 2 commands within one message).
Note
Error messages can be identified in the SINAUT Diagnostic and Service tool by
choosing the menu command SINAUT / TD7 CPU diagnosis..., or by selecting
the CPU in the SIMATIC Manager via the context menus PLC /
Diagnostics/Settings / Module Status in the Diagnostics Buffer tab (here only in
hex format).

8.3 Monitoring via the LEDs on the TIM modules
The two entries, which the TD7 software identifies as errors, cannot be
recognized in the VAT, if they comply with the user program logic.
Any invalid entries can be identified only by the fact of a missing response,
because the master CPU has not transmitted the message to the relevant target
subscriber. The bits are reset in the CPU memory.
Note
8.2.2
8.3
Operating examples:
Switch the pump of station to manual mode (M 12.1):

bit 0 in MB10 switches to 0 and bit 1 switches to 1.
Change the operating status of the pump in station 2:

On Off (M 12.2): bit 2 in MB10 switches to 1 and bit 3 switches to 0.
Off On (M 12.3): bit 2 in MB10 switches to 0 and bit 3 switches to 1.
Enter the inadmissible command to change the operating status while the
pump of station 3 is in automatic mode:
On Off (M 22.2) or
Off On (M 22.3):
Bit 1 in MB21 (pump errors) changes from 0 to 1 (not controllable)
Enter two conflicting commands at one time (On + Off or manual + automatic),
so that the two signal states switch to 1 ( ).
Monitoring via the LEDs on the TIM modules

Each transmission or receipt of a message via Ethernet is indicated by the flashing
of LED no. 4 (RX/TX) on the front panel of the TIM 3V-IE.
At a data transmission rate of 19200 bps, however, the rapid blinking of the LED
can hardly be discerned.

Further Notes, Tips & Tricks, etc.
9.1
General tips and tricks

This chapter describes a couple of possible scenarios and includes some further
tips and notes.
1. Problems with module loading.

Table 9-1
No.
Action
Make sure that all devices are connected to power and that the power supply unit is switched on.
Check the MPI address of the modules to be loaded and correct it in NetPro, if necessary.
2. Problems during commissioning, when alternative devices are used or if the

application example is installed in an existing network.
Table 9-2
No.
Action
Firstly, make sure that all steps described for question 1 have been carried out.
Then check:
correct configuration of your example project (device names/types in NetPro and HW Config),
whether all devices are correctly addressed and
whether any subnet masks have been configured.
Please refer to the relevant notes in chapter 5.5 and chapter 9.2.
Note: When using a TIM 3V-IE / TIM 3V-IE Adv, the lighting up LED no. 3 (LINK) on the front
panel of the TIM module indicates a physical Ethernet connection.
If the measures described above do not show the desired success, check your configuration on
the basis of the configuration description in chapter 5 and, if necessary, repeat the installation and
startup procedure as described in chapters 6 and 7.
3. When switching between stop/start, the CPU always returns to stop status.
Table 9-3
No.
50
Action
Choose the relevant CPU in the SIMATIC Manager and select the menu commandsPLC >
Diagnostic/Setting > Module Information, then open the Diagnostics buffer tab and read the
last two or three messages.
If one of these messages says that an attempt has been made to access a block that does not
exist, download the missing block.

9 8BFurther Notes, Tips & Tricks, etc.
4. The group error LED on the TIM 3V-IE (Advanced) and the STOP LED light up while the
RUN LED is off.
Table 9-4
No.
Action
An error occurred during the TIM module startup process, the red group error LED (SF) lights up
and a diagnostic alarm has been transmitted to the CPU. Furthermore, a corresponding message
has been entered directly in the diagnostics buffer of the TIM 3V-IE module.
The chapter Mounting and Installing a TIM in the SINAUT ST7 manual includes a table that
shows the status indications of all LEDs during the startup phase.
Check whether the corresponding message in the TIM diagnostics buffer indicates a configuration
error.
Correct the configuration error in your project and save the project including the newly generated
system data blocks.
Reload the SDBs for the relevant TIM.
5. The group error LEDs of TIM 3V-IE (Advanced) light up in a combination different than
that stated in section 4.
Table 9-5
No.
Action
The chapter SINAUT Diagnostics and Service Tool in the SINAUT ST7 manual includes a table
that provides a summary of all error messages that cause lighting up of the group error LED (SF),
as well as a detailed description of each error message.
Check the application example for any errors described in that section.
9.2
Notes on IP address assignment
IP addresses when components are replaced

When individual components are replaced by components of a different type, the
name (type) of the device must also be changed accordingly in the hardware
configuration. However, it is not necessary to change the IP address.
Configuration of the IP address is usually performed by STEP 7 and when devices
are replaced it uses the relevant device names. For this reason, you should not
assign IP addresses to the devices, unless required by the specific system
structure (e.g. if a previous system with predefined IP addresses is used).
IP addresses when an existing Ethernet connection shall be used for this example
If the application example shall be installed in an existing network where the IP
addresses have already been assigned, possibly with pre-defined and pre-masked
subnetworks, the IP addresses of the stations must be adjusted accordingly in
NetPro or HW Config.
