Easy Message (828D only)

13.1

Overview

Easy Message enables you to be informed about certain machine states by means of SMS

messages via a connected modem:

● For example, you would like to be informed about emergency stop states

● You would like to know when a batch has been completed

Control commands

● HMI commands are used to activate or deactivate a user.

Syntax: [User ID] deactivate¸ [User ID] activate

● A special area is reserved in the PLC to which you can send commands in the form of

PLC bytes using SMS commands.

Syntax: [User ID] PLC DataByte

The user ID is optional and required only if a corresponding ID has been specified in the

user profile. The string PLC indicates that a PLC byte is to be written. It is followed by the

data byte to be written in the following format: Base#Value. Base can take the values 2,

10 and 16 and defines the number base. Then follows the separator # and the value of

the byte. Only positive values are allowed to be sent.

Examples:

2#11101101

10#34

16#AF

Easy Extend (828D only)

14.1

Overview

Easy Extend enables machines to be retrofitted with additional units, which are controlled by

the PLC or that require additional NC axes (such as bar loaders, swiveling tables or milling

heads), at a later point in time. These additional devices are easily commissioned, activated,

deactivated or tested with Easy Extend.

The communication between the operator component and the PLC is performed via a PLC

user program. The sequences to be executed for the installation, activation, deactivation and

testing of a device are stored in a statement script.

Available devices and device states are displayed in a list. The view of the available devices

can be controlled for users according to their access rights.

The subsequent chapters are selected for example only and are not available in every

statement list.

Machine manufacturer

Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.

Up to 64 devices can be managed.

PLC diagnostics

A PLC user program consists to a large degree of logical operations to implement safety

functions and to support process sequences. These logical operations include the linking of

various contacts and relays. These logic operations are displayed in a ladder diagram.

Ladder add-on tool

As a rule, the failure of a single contact or relay results in a failure of the whole system.

Using the Ladder add-on tool, you can perform a PLC diagnosis in order to find fault causes

or program errors.

Editing of interrupt routines

You can edit the following interrupt programs:

● INT_100 - interrupt program, (is executed before the main program)

● INT_101 - interrupt program, (is executed after the main program)

Marshalling data

Using the Ladder add-on tool, you can "re-wire" inputs (via INT_100) or outputs (via

INT_101) for service purposes.

Generating INT_100 / INT_101 block

If one or several INT_100 or INT_101 blocks are missing, they can be added via the vertical

softkey bar. If these INT blocks exist in a project, they can be deleted via the vertical softkey

bar. You also have the opportunity to change the networks of a program on the control as

well as to save and load these changes.

Note

Saving the PLC project when changing the operating area

If you have created INT_100/INT_101 blocks or inserted, removed or edited networks in an

INT block, you must save the project before you change from the PLC area into another

operating area. Transfer the project into the PLC using the "Download to CPU" softkey. If

this is not done, all of the changes will be lost and must be re-entered.

Downloading a PLC user program

Download the project data into the PLC if some changes have been made to the project data

and a new PLC user program is available.

When the project data is loaded, the data classes are saved and loaded to the PLC.

Requirement

Check whether the PLC is in Stop mode.

Note

PLC in RUN mode

If the PLC is in RUN mode, a corresponding message is displayed and the "Load in Stop"

and "Load in Run" softkeys appear.

With "Load in Stop", the PLC is set to Stop mode and the project is stored and loaded to the

CPU.

With "Load in Run", the loading operation is continued and the PLC project loaded to the

PLC. Only those data classes that have really been changed are loaded, i.e. generally

INDIVIDUAL data classes.

Procedure

• For user variables (GUDs) it is not necessary to make a specification according to global

or channel-specific GUDs. The indices of GUD arrays are, just like NC variables in the

system variable syntax, 0-based; this means that the first element starts with the index 0.

• Using the tooltip, for NC system variables, you can display the OPI notation (with the

exception of GUDs).

Changing PLC variables

Changes can only be made to the PLC variables with the appropriate password.

Setting remote access

You can influence the remote access to your control in the "Remote diagnostics (RCS)"

window.

Here, rights for all types of remote control are set. The selected rights are defined from the

PLC and using the setting at the HMI.

The HMI can restrict the rights specified from the PLC, but however, cannot extend the rights

beyond the PLC rights.

If the settings made permit access from outside, then this is still dependent on a manual or

automatic confirmation.

Rights for remote access

The "Specified from PLC" field shows the access rights for remote access or remote

monitoring specified from the PLC.

Machine manufacturer

Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.

In the "Selected in the HMI" selection box, you have the possibility of setting rights for

remote control:

● Do not permit remote access

● Permit remote monitoring

● Permit remote control

The combination of the settings in the HMI and in the PLC show the valid status as to

whether access is permitted or not. This is displayed in the "Resulting from" line.

Settings for the confirmation dialog box

If the settings made for "Specified from the PLC" and "Selected in the HMI" permit access

from outside, then this is however, still dependent on either a manual or automatic

confirmation.

As soon as a remote access is permitted, at all of the active operating stations, a query

dialog box is displayed for the operator at the active operating station to either confirm or

reject an access.

For the case that there is no local operation, then the control behavior can be set for this

particular scenario. You define how long this window is displayed and whether, after the

confirmation has expired, the remote access is automatically rejected or accepted.
