Operator Control and Monitoring DevicesPanels — 170 seriesSIMATIC TP 177B■ Function• Permanent window and template concept for creating screentemplates• Input/output fieldsfor visualizing and editing process parameters• Configurable buttonswith up to 16 functions are also used to directly trigger functionsand actions• Indicator lightfor machine and plant status indication• Predefined textsfor labeling function keys, process images and process valuesin any character size•Help textsfor process images, messages and variables• Vector graphics, graphicscan be used as icons instead of text for "labeling" buttons.They can also be used as full-screen background pictures.In the configuration tool, a library is available containing extensivegraphics and a wide variety of objects. All editors with anOLE interface (e.g., PaintShop, Designer or CorelDraw) canbe used as graphics editors.• Curve functions and barsare used for the display of dynamic values in graphics-basedformat• Dynamic positioning of objects and dynamic showing/hiding ofobjects• Arithmetic functions, limit value monitoringfor reliable process control with inputs and outputs• Online language selection (5 selectable languages), incl.Asian and Cyrillic languagesThis also applies to language-specific graphics•Timerfor cyclic function processing• Password protection (security)User management – Authentication by means of user ID andpassword plus privileges specific to user groups, which is anintegral part of SIMATIC• Signaling systemFreely definable message classes (acknowledgement behaviorand display can be configured) Administration of status,fault and system messages. The message history is retainedeven if the device is switched off.Analog alarms (limit value messages) in addition to bit messages• Recipe management:- With additional data storage (on ext. storage medium)- Online/offline processing on the panel- Storage of recipe data in standard Windows format (CSV)- External processing using standard tools such as Excel andAccess is possible• Multi Media Card slotfor external standard data carrier, can be used forbackup/restoration or for transporting recipe data records• User-friendly maintenance and configuration thanks to:- Backup and restoration of the configuration, operating system,data records and firmware on a PC using ProSave- Option to download/upload the configuration via all deviceinterfaces (with automatic transfer detection)- Individual contrast setting and calibration- Clean screen function to support reliable cleaning of thetouch panel in service- Configuration simulation directly on the configuration computerConfiguringThe equipment is configured using the innovative engineeringtool SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2005 (Compact and above).SIMATIC WinCC flexible is the logical further development of thefield-proven ProTool family. Projects generated using ProToolcan be easily migrated to WinCC. When OP17 projects areimplemented, the project engineer must make certain changesfollowing conversion as a result of the innovated displaytechnology. Support is however provided by WinCC flexible.If WinCC flexible is started directly from SIMATIC Manager, datain STEP 7 can be accessed directly at the click of a mouse buttonwhen the panel is configured. Duplicated data input anddata management is, therefore, avoided.Additional options•SINUMERIKOptionally with "SINUMERIK HMI copy licenseWinCC flexible CE". The SINUMERIK HMI engineeringWinCC flexible package is also required for configuration.For further information see Catalog NC 60.•Sm@rt ServiceRemote operator control and monitoring of SIMATIC HMIsystems based on TCP/IP networks• Sm@rt AccessCommunication between HMI systems based on TCP/IPnetworks. Remote access to recipe data sets, passwords andinformation specific to the HMI system, and much more.2Siemens ST 80 · 2006 2/93
