Function
(continued)
SIMOCRANE CMS Crane Management System
Additional components
S7 Pdiag and WinCC ProAgent on CMS stations – advanced
system diagnosis on SCADA level (fault cause analysis and
drill down analysis)
ProAgent is available for various devices and software platforms
from the SIMATIC HMI whereas SCADA WinCC as well.
ProAgent contains standard views, which are tuned to the re-
quirements of the process error diagnosis of a plant or machine.
During configuration, the data that is relevant to process error
diagnostics such as symbols, comments and alarm texts are
saved in a standardized data management system. During run-
time, the standard screens are then filled with process-specific
data.
Benefits
Component of Totally Integrated Automation Siemens concept:
•
Increases productivity, minimizes engineering outlay, reduces
lifecycle costs
•
Support for troubleshooting, increased machine and plant
availability, shorter downtimes
•
No additional configuration costs for the diagnostics functio-
nality due to automatic generation of the diagnostics-related
parts for the controller and HMI
•
Frees up controller capacity with regard to memory require-
ments and program execution time
•
No special knowledge required to operate Design and func-
tion
In the event of a process fault, process error diagnostics with
SIMATIC ProAgent will provide information about the location
and cause of that fault and support personnel with troubleshoo-
ting.
The ProAgent solution has been optimized specifically for use
with SIMATIC S7-300/S7-400 and SIMATIC WinAC. It can be
used in combination with the S7-PDIAG, S7-GRAPH STEP 7 en-
gineering tools. The ProAgent option package features standard
displays that are updated with process-specific data during run-
time.
Process diagnostics with WinCC/ProAgent and the Step 7 Engineering
Tools
Functional scope
•
Context-sensitive diagnostics initiation due to process error
message
•
Output of the operands with symbols and comment Switch-
over capability between LAD, STL and signal list
•
Supporting fault rectification by means of direct process ac-
cess when using the motion view
•
Output of the faulty operands directly in the alarm including
address, symbol and comment
•
Consistency test in runtime: Inconsistent diagnostics units are
marked with icons. This permits quick locating of faults regar-
ding configured data in the commissioning phase.
•
Direct, unit-related entry point in the diagnostics view from
user displays (by using ProAgent functions)
•
Unit or alarm-related entry to STEP 7, e.g. LAD/STL/FBD edi-
tor, S7-GRAPH, HW CONFIG upon system error messages, is
supported fully automatically
•
S7-GRAPH OCX for the graphical display of step sequences
(overview display)
S7-PDIAG supports the configuring of process diagnostics for
SIMATIC with the LAD, FBD or IL programming languages.
Using process diagnostics it is possible to recognize faulty
states outside the automation system (such as limit switch not
reached).
In conjunction with WinCC/SIMOCRANE CMS and the special
process diagnostics option package SIMATIC ProAgent, it is
possible to design a powerful system:
•
to display errors in user-defined text
•
to display the cause signal (criteria analysis) at link level
•
to clear process errors
S7-PDIAG offers the following functions:
•
Configuration for detection of process faults:
•
S7-PDIAG permits definition of signal monitoring (including
criteria analysis) and the associated message texts within the
LAD/CSF/IL editor.
•
Configured FB call (optional) on diagnostics event
•
Online modification of monitoring times Supporting trouble-
shooting
•
In addition to the display and detection of process faults,
S7-PDIAG and ProAgent provide the user with the facility to
control or modify movements and operating modes directly
from the HMI display unit.
