7.1.2

Changes in version 8.0

The Feature parameter is no longer entered in the POV. The PidConR block uses the inputs PV and Rbk for limit monitoring. Change in behavior with regard to the internal block simulation: During simulation, the switching point is set and reported in accordance with the simulation values and no longer based on the PV and Rbk inputs. With OpDi03, the last values are retained at the outputs Out1..3 during the transition to the "Out of service" operating mode. This represents a change in behavior as compared to the last version in which Out3 was set to 1. With MonAnL, the switching points GradHUpAct, GradHDnAct and GradLAct are set depending on feature bit 26 during transition to the "Out of service" operating mode. This represents a change in behavior as compared to the last version, in which they were set to "false". VlvAnL when using the external manipulated variable (MV_ExtAct.Value=1): After the auxiliary valve is opened or after an interlock, the manipulated variable MV assumes the external value (or approaches it in ramp form) without waiting for MV_Ext.Value to change. This represents a change in behavior as compared to the last version, in which the manipulated value was not assumed until the external value changed, depending on feature bit 3. VlvAnL with auxiliary valve: In local operation with LocalSetting =2/4, the auxiliary valve is controlled by means of an internal tracking of the feedback signals FbkAuxVCloseOut and FbkAuxVOpenOut. The control of the main valve by means of feedback value Rbk is not affected. This represents a change in behavior as compared to the last version, in which the auxiliary valve was controlled by the feedback signals FbkCloseOut and FbkOpenOut.

The I/O names have changed in the process tag types. In local operation with LocalSetting 2 or 4 and feature bit 27 = 0, the output LockAct is no longer set in the case of an interlock with the following blocks: MotL, MotRevL, MotSpdL, MotSpdCL, MotS, Vlv2WayL, VlvL, VlvAnL, VlvS, VlvMotL.

Changes in version 8.0 Update 1

In MotL, MotS, VlvMotL, VlvL, VlvS, Vlv2Way with MonTiStatic = 0, a change to the feedback without changing the control did not lead to a runtime error. This erroneous behavior has been corrected. A runtime error is now reported immediately. In local mode with LocalSetting 2/4, a change to the feedback messages at MonStat=0 led to a monitoring error in MotL, MotS and VlvMotL. New Feature bit 12 for VlvMotL. This Feature bit defines whether the motor feedback messages are available or not. Formulas for the Butterworth low-pass filter corrected in Smooth. The filter once again reaches the specified base frequency (time constant). Values greater than 32,768 at the PresetTime input in the CountOh are once again shown correctly at the TotalTime output.

7.3.1

Version V8.0 SP1

What's new in V8.0 SP1?

The inhibit on the "Message class" and "With confirmation" cells was removed in all blocks with indicator configuration to allow setting of the user-configured message classes. New "Small versions" PIDConS and OpAnS. New mathematical block FlowCorr for the pressure and/or temperature compensation of measurements using the differential pressure method. New digital block Trigger for detecting a rising edge and a falling edge. New "External error" state in the blocks of the Drives and Dosage families used to generate an error requiring a reset without outputting a message. In the blocks of the Drives and Dosage families, the CSF (external control system fault) input sets the block to an error state by way of a new Feature bit. Display and operation of a device infeed via the block MotSpdCL. New Feature bit in the block OpAnL to activate a separate scale range for PV_IN. New OS_Perm bits in the blocks of the Interlck family for a separate enable of the operation for setting or resetting exclusions. With new Feature bits in PIDConL, additional versions of the working method in the control zone are provided with respect to the integral component. The configured temperature units (C, F) in HW Config on the RTD and TC modules are passed to the channel block PCS7AnIn and used for calculating the output variable (standard value). The block VlvMotL supports sealing by means of torque switches. During the initialization phase of the field device (PV_ST = 16#4c to 16#4f), the channel blocks FbAnIn and FbDiIn output the status 16#60. The output value is output depending on the settings of Feature bits 28, 29 and 30. Error corrected in the calculation of the ramp value in OpAnL during extremely slow ramp travel. In the blocks of the Count family, the enable for resetting or presetting values can be specified depending on the LiOp parameter using a new Feature bit. The output GrpErr is no longer reset one cycle later in block VlvAnL. In the blocks of the Interlck family, the value 16#80 (good state) is used for the signal status values 16#00 and 16#28 of an input to form the signal status of the output Out if Feature bit 23 (Evaluate signal status) is not set. This represents a change in behavior as compared to the last version in which the signal status was used unchanged to form the signal status of the output Out. By means of a new Feature bit, the behavior of initial signal detection can be specified in the blocks of the Interlck family as a function of the input parameter FirstInEn =0.

7.3.2

Changes in V8.0 SP1

Revision of the visibility of block connections in the Typicals and in the default setting of the blocks. The simultaneous presence of both feedback messages is taken into account in VlvAnL in the monitoring function of the feedback messages. In CntOhSc, the enable for the resetting as a function of the LiOp parameter is now only possible using a new Feature bit. This is a change in behavior as compared to the latest version in which there was always a dependence on the LiOp. In the blocks of the Control family, the value is formed internally in the event of a negative dead band (Deadband < 0.0); in the case of ConZone <= 0, the function "Control zone" is switched off. Parameter adaptation in the example project to improve the noise in the simulated system.

The origin of messages from EventTs in conjunction with the blocks PIDConL, PIDConR, PIDStepL, FmCont, and FmTemp has been corrected. Correction of the function "Pulses per cycle" in the blocks Pcs7Cnt1, Pcs7Cnt2 and Pcs7Cnt3. The number of pulses per cycle is now output properly during the zero crossing. The message texts in AssetM have a new German terminology. "Wartung" been replaced with "Instandhaltung". English is not affected. Missing connections were closed and parameter values (units, measuring range) were optimized in the template "Motor with the PROFIdrive Drive Profile Telegram 1 and 20 (Namur)". In Mode 3, the output Out is no longer set to "1" automatically in TimerP after the CPU is restarted. Comments that were missing at I/Os of the blocks Pcs7Cnt1, Pcs7Cnt3, Polygon and STRep have been added. The cascade quality codes 16#C0-16#E3 from Foundation Fieldbus are now considered in the channel blocks FBAnIn, FbAnOut, FbDiIn and FBDiOut. Revision of the S7_(x)edit attribute in the blocks of the families Channel, Control, Count, Drives, Dosage, Interlck, Maint and Monitor for a consistent display of the I/Os in the PO view of SIMATIC Manager. Revision of the S7_visible attribute in the blocks and templates of the families Control, Count, Convert, Drives, Dosage, Interlck, LogicAn, Math, Monitor, Report, Operate for a smaller display of the blocks in the CFCs. Evaluation of the maintenance state in the blocks FBSwtMMS and FbDrive has been corrected. After the rapid stop is reset in manual mode, the motor can also once again be started in MotSpdL, MotSpdCL and MotRevL.

Version V8.0 SP2

Changes in V8.0 SP2

New value can be set at the parameter "Color" for the selection of the message color in MonDiL / MonDiS. New Feature bit in the family Drive, Dosage, Operate and Interlck for separate forwarding of the "Bypass interlock signal" and signal status in an interconnection. The values PZDIn3-PZDIn6 at the output are now also scaled by means of the new Feature bit 5 in FbDrive. The limit value HrsOpHiS in CntOhSc can be 786431 instead of the previous 786408. The operating mode "Out of service" cannot be selected anymore in PIDConL, PIDConR and PIDStepL using the faceplate in the operating mode "Automatic". The operating mode "Program mode for closed-loop controllers" can now also be exited in PIDConR during forced tracking of the manipulated variable (MV_ForOn =1). PCS7AnIn supports the module "6ES7 331-7SF00-0AB0" for low temperature ranges. During startup (OB100) and startup behavior (Feature bit 0 =0) the SP_Out is set to SP_Int in the OpAnL and OpAnS instead of to 0 as before. The formation of the output "Bad" and the signal status of the process outputs in the blocks FbAnIn, FbAnOu, FbDiIn and FbDiOu has been corrected when using PA devices. Block titles are shortened in MSTIn and MuxAn03 to 63 characters. Text associated values at Parameter "P_SqrtOn" are deleted in FlowCorr. Permission to reset the dosing quantity now depends on Feature bit 30 "Resetting the dosing mode depending on the operating mode" in DoseL. When the simulation is active, the reset signal is no longer output for FbDrive, FbSwitchMMS. In automatic mode with an external setpoint value, a switchover to program mode is now possible in PIDConL, PIDConR, PIDStepL, FmTemp and FmCont.

Information on Configuration and Operation

The blocks in the library have been designed exclusively for S7-400 automation systems and are not suitable for the configuration of failsafe applications. For AS blocks that include ALARM_8P blocks: If you want to add auxiliary values to the messages of the blocks, you need to interconnect the inputs AUX_PRxx (auxiliary values of the ALARM8_P) flush in ascending order. When an auxiliary value is interconnected for the first time, this takes effect after a CPU restart. Without a CPU restart, "0" is always displayed for the auxiliary value. Only the data types BOOL (not permitted: bit array), BYTE, CHAR, WORD, INT, DWORD, DINT, REAL, DATE, TOD, TIME, S5TIME, DATE_AND_TIME, COUNTER, TIMER are permitted. Copy a STRING data type into an ARRAY OF BYTE. Structures must be interconnected with the message auxiliary values via a converter block; otherwise, these message auxiliary values are always displayed with "0". The templates contain CFC charts with ready-made technological functions. These charts include the blocks and interconnections that are required as default for each of the functions. You can continue to use these charts as a template for individual automation solutions in the future. The templates are described in detail in the Online Help. You are not permitted to set the minimum cycle time of OB1 to a value other than 0. Please note that the signal status of the individual block I/Os is not evaluated by the SFC type because the SFC type does not offer any characteristics of the type Struct.

Interconnecting inputs and outputs with APL structures to inputs and outputs of blocks without structures. This new CFC function (as of PCS 7 V7.1 SP1) allows APL blocks to be interconnected to non-APL blocks without converter blocks. This simplifies the engineering. However, this function may result in an interruption of the Flow signal status. Example: Interconnection of BOOL output with structure to BOOL input without structure and further interconnection. BOOL output without structure to BOOL input with structure. If the Flow signal status is to be maintained, the signal status must be redirected around the non-APL logic using converter blocks. The user defined data types (UDT) from 1 to 50 are reserved for APL. The channel block Pcs7AnIn does not have any information on the temperature units (C, F) configured in HWConfig and always calculates the technological output variable in C. Conversion to F must be carried out in the user program. The following formula can be used for this purpose: F = C * 1.8 + 32 The functionally expanded ModPreCon block now uses up 100 PO licenses. The runtimes of the block in "Manual" and "Automatic" mode have been harmonized. For this reason, "Manual" mode requires a significantly longer runtime as compared to the predecessor version. For "Automatic" mode, runtime has been reduced by approximately 6% as compared to the predecessor version. The satellite blocks AV and EventTS no longer use up any PO licenses. If the channel block Pcs7Cnt3 is to be functionally compatible to the CH_CNT2C/CH_CNT2M blocks of the PCS 7 library, the following points must be taken into consideration: Operation of the LoadDir input for direct loading of the counter is not edge-controlled. The counting process is not started until the LoadDir input is reset and must consequently be controlled with a pulse. The MS_EXT input on the channel blocks FbDrive and FbSwitch is reserved for a future functional expansion and cannot be used in this version. The channel blocks "FbAnIn", "FbAnOu", "FbDiIn" and "FbDiOu" support FF field devices with analog or digital input or output values. The first implementation stage of the FF (introduced with PCS 7 V7.0) is no longer supported. The driver generator which generates the interconnections from the switching device (e.g. Simocode Pro) to the APL channel block FbSwtMMS only supports the channel blocks of "Simocode Pro PCS 7 Migration Library V8.0+SP1" after the installation of "Simocode Pro PCS 7 Migration Library V8.0+SP1". Users who wish to use the APL channel block FbSwtMMS must uninstall "Simocode Pro PCS 7 Migration Library V8.0+SP1". ManModLi I/O The attribute S7_contact is missing on the ManModLi I/O and must be set manually if needed at the block interface. You can reach the interface by double-clicking the appropriate block in the block folder. To retain backward compatibility with existing projects, the attribute can no longer be set because otherwise the existing connections between the SFC and the block would be changed.

Notes on the documentation

The terms or message classes Alarm, Warning, Tolerance or the corresponding acronyms in icons and colors used in the documentation are not valid when using user-configured message classes. These terms and colors depend on the project-specific setting. User-configured message classes are supported only by the block symbols of V8 and later. In the "Out of service" chapter (Basics of APL/Block modes), under the sentence "All outputs for motors and valves are set to the safe position in this operating mode", the following note is missing: "For VlvMotL, this means that, when SafePos = 0 (safe position closed) or SafePos = 1 (safe position open), the block constantly outputs a Close or Open control signal, regardless of the end positions being reached." The new Feature bit in the Drive, Dosage, Operate and Interlck family for separate forwarding of the "Bypass interlock signal" and signal status information in an interconnection is missing in the description of the VlvL, Vlv2WayL, VlvMotL and VlvAnL types. You can read the description in the section "Separate evaluation for excluded and simulated interlock signals" under "Basics of APL/Functions of the blocks/Configurable response using the Feature I/O".
