3. TCP Installation

TCP

Furness device Siemens S7-PLC

Notice:

For communication with a Siemens CP read the document:

TCP_Communication_with_CP343.doc

For communication with a Siemens PN/CPU read the document:

TCP_Communication_with_TConn.doc

4. Function Blocks

The function blocks (FB) described serves for controlling and parametrizing Furness
devices via PROFIBUS-DP in a SIMATIC-S7 controller with integrated DP master
module (e.g. CPU315-2DP). With the blocks the many functions of the Furness
device can be comfortably incorporated in the program. The blocks can be
parametrized and are capable of many instances. They are linked into the user
program for each device from where they can be accessed cyclically with a separate
instance data block or multi-instance block. Simultaneous use of other function
blocks for controlling the same device is not permitted. If additional commercially
available components such as sensors and actuators are connected, the specified
limits for pressures, temperatures, electrical data, etc. must not be exceeded. Note
also the Siemens specifications regarding the use of their PLC SIMATIC S7.

4.1 Basic principles of programmed software

Please note that it is not possible with the present state of technology to create pro-
grammed software which functions without problems and is compatible with all
applications and combinations intended by the user.
As a rule the software must therefore be used in the designated manner as specified
in the program description and in the user instructions. At the moment when the
software is transferred or made available, it is in a state in which it will function under
normal operating and application conditions.
Industrialsoft Gmbh & CoKG does not guarantee that the software will suffice for all
applications and purposes intended by the user, or that it will function without
problems when used with other programs, or that it is compatible with these
programs. The responsibility for the correct selection and the consequences of using
the software within the scope of use defined by the user, as well as for the intended
and achieved results therefore lies with the user. The same applies to the written
material supplied with the software. The use of the programmed software does not
exempt you as customer from your duties and responsibility for observing and
adhering to technical machine and safety regulations as well as for a comprehensive
functional check.

4.2 Manuals of Furness device

This manual contains information on the S7 blocks for Furness device. The following
manual is also required for understanding the function blocks:

– Product manual Furness device

– F-BUS protocol (RS232) for Furness device

This manual on the S7 blocks contains all necessary information for commissioning
the blocks. In addition, the most important extracts from the manual product are also
reproduced. However this does not replace in any way the manual for Furness
product manual. The guidelines and safety regulations listed therein must be
observed at all costs in order to guarantee correct and reliable functioning.
Siemens: When reference is made in this manual to documents from Siemens, this
always means the Step 7 version 5.5 (service pack 2). Other versions of Step 7 may
differ from that described in this manual.

4.3 General description

In order to facilitate commissioning of the Furness device, Industrialsoft GmbH &

CoKG has made available a SIMATIC STEP 7 Project. The STEP 7 Project contains
function and data blocks for controlling the Furness device via PROFIBUS-DP with a
SIMATIC-S7 controller. The blocks for the Furness will support you in programming
the PROFIBUS communication between the Siemens PLC SIMATIC S7 and Furness
device. The sources of the blocks are available with full access rights. This offers the
possibility of adapting the blocks individually to the project. However no guarantee
can be given that open blocks will function.

4.4 The blocks at a glance

With the blocks you can incorporate the functions of the Furness device directly in
your programs. Normally you will require two blocks for the various functions. The
blocks have been purposely split into groups, so that you can decide yourself which
functions you require for your application. The example project contains the following
special blocks:

– FURNESS_CP_WRITE (example project: FB415/FB425)

– FURNESS_CP_READ (example project: FB416/FB426)
The block FB416/ FB426 is using in addition the followed converting blocks:
CONCAT
STRING_DI
STRING_I

The following user defined types (UDT) include all Parameter to control the Furness
device.

- UDT 101 Furness_Test_Data

- UDT 115 Furness_Controlbits
- UDT 116 Furness_Control
- UDT 120 Furness_Status

The designation of these UDT’s may not be changed.

5.3 Device datablock

Add the Furness UDT's in your device data block (DB). To see all the parameters of the
UDT's, turn the Ctrl + 4 key combination to change to the data view.

Controlbits + tags:
Enable to control a bit to the
device. Select the device_id and
the program number.

Statusbits + tags:
Actual statusbits and values

Result status:
Actual result of the current test
and results of 2 result steps.

5.4 Example: change programmnumber

To select a program number in the unit, set the instrument ID and the new program number to
the control parameters, and then click to select the bit "Change_Program"

If the communication was successful, the new program number is displayed in the status
parameters.

5.5 Example: Changing the test data (here prefill + tolerance)

First, enter the test number for the

change in value.
If the pre-charge pressure and the
pre-charge tolerance be changed,
enter the appropriate values. Then set
the control bits for the values to True.

If values are to be transferred, it is

important that not the test data will
be displayed in Furness device.

5.6 Troubleshooting

5.6.1 No actual data exchange:

-check the ethernet cabling and adressing
-check hardware configuration of step 7 (net-pro)
-select the TCP in the Furness Fbus-setting
-select the right ID
-be sure that you installed the correct fb’s (leak/flow)
-check port and IP-address configuration
