1 Introduction
1.1.1 About this document

This document is a reference guide for setting up an application based on a MICRO PLC coupled
with a smartPanel HMI, containing relevant information about the devices and software necessary
for its realization, and the necessary steps to reproduce and run the example project.
1.1.2 Application Example

The application example is based on a water filtering and supplying system, able to pump filtered
water to a storage tank and identify when it is time to stop the supplying, and execute a wash cycle
to prevent a flow blockage caused by the buildup of particles in the filter.
In this example project, the application’s logic is not extensively covered; however, some
programing examples are present in other to demonstrate general functionalities of the targeted
systems.
1.1.3 Process & Instrumentation Diagram

The system consists of a pump, solenoid vales which direct the water flow depending on the
operation mode, a filter, pressure transducers measuring the pressure at the entry and exit points of
the filter, and a tank storing the filtered water for later use and washing operation.
Figure 1-1 – P&ID Diagram of the system
The example system works on two distinct modes of operation:
1 – Filling mode: Water is drawn from a water supply, pumped through a filter and then into a tank,
where it is stored for later use. During this process, particles get trapped in the filter, creating a flow
resistance (measured by the pressure difference in the entry and exit points of the filter, acquired by
PT1 and PT2) which after a critical value triggers the washing operation.
Figure 1-2 – P&ID Diagram of the filling operation
1 – Washing mode: On this mode, the system now draws filtered water from the storage tank, and
pumps it back through the filter, carrying away the particles that settled in the filter into the waste
drain pipe.
Figure 1-3 – P&ID Diagram of the washing operation
1.1.4 Target systems
This project is not restricted to, but was realized for the following devices and software:
 MICRO PLC
 7” smartPanel
 SPEED7 Studio Basic, version 1.8 service pack 3 or higher
 VIPA Movicon editor (integrated in SPEED7 Studio versions Basic and Pro)
1.1.5 MICRO PLC

The MICRO PLC is a S7-instruction controller, with the form factor of a compact PLC but with the
performance of a modular PLC.
It comes with a fully retentive 64KB available for the PLC program, and with the following
integrated I/Os and communication interfaces:
 16 Digital inputs
 12 Digital outputs
 Analog inputs (0 – 10 V)
 Active Ethernet port (switch) for Modbus TCP, S7 Ethernet and PROFINET communication.
This controller can also be expanded with up to 8 modules and an extra interface for serial
communication (MPI and PROFIBUS slave). Additionally, its 64KB can be expanded to 128KB via a
VSC card
Figure 1-4 – System MICRO overview
Contrary to other S7 controllers in its category, the MICRO’s processor is able to run S7 instruction
natively, making it light years faster than its rivals, which must first convert (interpret) the
instructions to a different instruction set which their processors can understand.
Figure 1-5 – S7 Instructions exectution – MICRO vs Others
1.1.6 smartPanel
The smartPanels are designed for medium-sized application and are up to the date of creation of
this document, our fastest Movicon HMI, being surpassed only by our Panel PC line.
The example project was made with a 7” smartPanel in mind, other sizes may be used but the
project pages will require a manual scaling in the editor, in order for the screens to be shown as
they were intended to.
Figure 1-6 – smartPanels 4.3“, 7“, 10“
1.1.7 SPEED7 Studio
SPEED7 Studio is our engineering tool for the MICRO PLC and SLIO systems.
In the Basic and Pro versions, a license for the VIPA Movicon editor is included, enabling the
development of HMI applications for our Movicon panels and the tag-database synchronization
between PLC and HMI, reducing the overhead time when developing an integrated PLC+HMI
system.
Figure 1-7 – SPEED7 Studio Features
2 Quick Start
