1 Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The purpose of the LAlarmHdl library is to collect all messages from SINAMICS
drives. These messages can be displayed at Siemens HMIs via the standard
control “Alarm View”, the web server of the PLC as well as the TIA Portal
Engineering in the diagnostics alarm display. The messages are removed when the
problem in the drive is resolved.
In contrast to the system diagnostics, where only one error out of the 19
PROFIdrive error classes is sent, Alarm Handling integrates the detailed
SINAMICS message text.
The library contains two different software automation levels that meet the
requirements of the software structure:
- A fully autonomous solution that scans the configured IO system for SINAMICS
drives and adds automatically messages from the found drive objects to the
alarm display of the PLC. This is preferred for central alarm handling. This
should be selected if many drive objects are included in the project. This
functionality is provided by using the function block (FB)
LAlarmHdl_DriveAlarmsIOSystem.
Note: the functionality is not available for the PROFIdrive Integrated IO system
of the SIMATIC Drive Controller.
- A modular and efficient approach where a programmer can add the messages
of a single SINAMICS drive object to the alarm display of the PLC. This should
be chosen when only a few drives are present in the project. This functionality
is provided by the function block (FB) LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms.

Definition of
messages in
text list
LAlarmHdl_DriveAlarmsIOSystem is the FB for an autonomous application that

scans an IO system for connected SINAMICS drives and afterwards watches the
drives for appearing alarms or faults. If an alarm or fault is detected the FB
LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms block is used to report the message to the
system diagnostics.
LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms is the FB that collects messages of a SINAMICS

drive via acyclic data exchange and sends a program alarm with the text of the
SINAMICS message. This FB needs a signal from the user for reading the different
alarm types.
After the message is reported via a program alarm, the messages can be seen via
system mechanism “alarm view” in the panel, the SIMATIC webserver and the
TIA Portal Engineering.
The messages generated in the controller contain the following information:

• Message type (Alarm, Fault, Safety Message)
• Name of the drive object
• Message code and additional information (value)
• Message description
• Timestamp for message arrived of the drive object.
NOTE A cyclic time synchronization between the drive systems and the PLC is required
for this application.

After solving the problem in the SINAMICS (e.g. by resetting the technology object)
the message is automatically deleted from the alarm view.

Principle of operation
The FB LAlarmHdl_DriveAlarmsIOSystem is a fully autonomous solution for alarm
and message handling for all SINAMICS drives in a PROFINET or PROFIBUS IO
system. All devices / slaves that are configured in the hardware configuration are
detected and stored in the ioSystemData data structure. Afterwards it is determined
if a module is a SINAMICS drive or another IO module.
All SINAMICS drives of an IO system are monitored for faults, alarms and safety
messages automatically. If a SINAMICS drive reports a problem the according
message is polled and added to the alarm view.
The messages can be seen in TIA Portal engineering in the diagnostics alarm view
section, in the SIMATIC webserver and in all SIMATIC Comfort panels in the alarm
view control.
NOTICE The PROFIdrive standard alarms must be activated in all drives in the
hardware configuration. Otherwise messages cannot be read.
For more information see chapter 2.2.3
NOTE By using this solution, the FB LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms is not allowed to

be used additionally for polling drive alarms from a single drive object.
NOTE If Safety Integrated Extended/Advanced Functions in SINAMICS S120 are used,

set the Control Unit parameter p3117 = 1 to save both the Basic Functions
messages and the Extended/Advanced Functions messages in the standard
fault buffer. This optimizes the code and communication performance of this
solution because the separate safety message buffer does not need to be read.

2.2 Project integration

2.2.1 Set up project languages
First of all, the correct project languages have to be chosen. The library includes
PLC alarm text lists for the SINAMICS drive systems in Chinese, English, French,
German, Italian and Spanish. The LAlarmHdl message texts are a combination of
the message texts of the following SINAMICS drive systems: S210, S120, G120
and V90 PN (descending order). That means, in case of equal error numbers but
different texts, e.g. at S120 and S210, the text of the S210 is used.
To have the messages available in the corresponding languages set up the project
languages in STEP 7 before integrating the LAlarmHdl PLC alarm text lists and the
LAlarmHdl blocks.

2.2.2 Device configuration of the PLC
To show the messages from the text lists correctly in your PLC, the languages
must be configured in the device configuration. The messages can only be
displayed if the language is configured and the according texts are available in this
language. In the following example, the project languages German and English are
selected to be loaded to the PLC.

2.2.3 Device configuration of the SINAMICS drive systems
To get the correct device state from the SINAMICS drive systems, the standard
alarms for PROFIdrive must be activated. This can be done in the device
configuration of the SINAMICS drive system (e.g. S120).

2.2.6 Engineering of the fully autonomous alarm handling solution
To add the fully autonomous alarm handling solution for SINAMICS drive systems
the following steps must be done for every IO system.
Call in Startup OB
To have the best performance and prevent buffer overflow, the FB
LAlarmHdl_DriveAlarmsIOSystem must be called in the Startup OB. Then the
complete hardware configuration is scanned for IO devices at startup of the PLC.
For every IO system, one instance of the FB LAlarmHdl_DriveAlarmsIOSystem
block is required and one data block of type LAlarmHdl_typeIOSystem. In the
library a data block (DB) LAlarmHdl_IOSystemData of this type is already included.
If a second IO system includes also SINAMICS drive system, this block can be
copied and renamed.
Figure 2-9: Call of FB LAlarmHdl_DriveAlarmsIOSystem in Startup OB


Entry-ID: 109761931, V1.1, 02/2022 23
2 Engineering
Call in program cycle OB or cyclic interrupt OB

To scan the IO system cyclically for faults, alarms, … in the SINAMICS drive
systems, the FB LAlarmHdl_DriveAlarmsIOSystem must be called in a program
cycle OB (e.g. OB1) or a cyclic interrupt OB. Therefore, the same instances must
be used as in the Startup OB.
NOTE For operating the LAlarmHdl blocks the LAcycCom Resource Management and
Drive based functionalities are required in the PLC. More information can be
found in the LAcycCom manual.
Figure 2-10: Call of LAlarmHdl_DriveAlarmsIOSystem in program cycle OB


Entry-ID: 109761931, V1.1, 02/2022 24
2 Engineering
2.2.7 Engineering of the modular alarm handling approach
To add the modular approach for alarm handling an instance of the FB

LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms function block must be added for every drive
object operated with alarm handling.
NOTE For operating the LAlarmHdl blocks the LAcycCom Resource Management and
Drive based functionalities are required in the PLC. More information can be
found in the LAcycCom manual.
NOTE To ensure most resources for other program parts the blocks should be operated
in a program cycle OB (e.g. OB1) or in a cyclic interrupt OB with low priority.
Use of status word to detect existing messages in the drive object

If the drive object has a cyclic communication and returns a status word with alarm,
fault and safety status this can be used to trigger the reading of the messages. This
solution guarantees the optimal calculation and communication performance.
In the following example the status word (ZSW1) is used to detect alarms and
faults. The readAlarms and readFaults inputs are triggered by means of this
information.
If the separate safety message buffer at SINAMICS S120 is used, the trigger
information for reading these messages (via input readSIMessages) can be taken
from the Safety Information Channel status word S_ZSW1B (not shown in the
following example).

Entry-ID: 109761931, V1.1, 02/2022 25
2 Engineering
Figure 2-11: Use of status word to detect existing messages

Cyclic reading of messages from a drive object

If no information of the status of the drive object is available, the messages can
also be read cyclically. The cycle is configured at the updateInterval input.
The cyclic reading of messages decreases the performance in comparison to use
the status of the drive object.
In the following figure the alarms and faults are read cyclically from a control unit.
The reading of safety integrated messages is disabled.

Entry-ID: 109761931, V1.1, 02/2022 26
2 Engineering
Figure 2-12: Cyclic reading of messages
Determining the hardware identification number

The hardware identifier of type “HW_IO” refers to an addressable component of the
IO device, e. g. the SINAMICS S120 CU. These hardware identifiers are created by
TIA Portal when a new SINAMICS drive is added to the project.
For acyclic data exchange the hardware identifier of the according module access
point or, if this is not available, the hardware identifier of the telegram can also be
used.
In the picture below, the relevant system constant has the value 266 and the
symbolic name
SINAMICS-S120-CU320-2PN~DO_Control_Unit_1~Module_Access_Point.
Figure 2-13: Determining the hardware identification number
When calling the FB LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms the system constant has to

be interconnected via tag name or the decimal value to the hardwareId input. The
symbolic name of the system constant depends on the selected device name and
the project language. The value of the constant in the above picture may deviate to
the value in the user project.

Entry-ID: 109761931, V1.1, 02/2022 27
2 Engineering
Addressing of the drive object only by hardware identifier (for local parameter access)
By setting the driveObjectId input to -1 the FB LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms
function block communicates with the module selected by the hardware identifier
set at the hardwareId input.
The correct hardware identifier is selected by using the module access point
hardware identifier or the hardware identifier of a telegram. Therefore, the drive
object identifier is not needed for accessing the module of the drive.
In the example below the module access point of the control unit is selected. This
leads to a communication with the drive object 1, the control unit itself. The drive
object identifier is selected by the hardware identifier.
Figure 2-14: Example block call without drive object identifier

When -1 is selected at the driveObjectId input, the FB

LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms block sets the communication mechanism to
local parameter access via PROFIdrive (dataset 0xB02E). The local parameter
access is mandatory for every PROFIdrive compliant drive system.
Every value >= 0 is leading to an access to the drive object with global parameter
access (dataset 47). Then the hardware identifier is only specifying the drive
system and the drive object is addressed via the drive object identifier. This access
method is optional for PROFIdrive compliant drives but works with every
SINAMICS drive system.

2.2.8 WinCC “Alarm view” settings
To view the messages in the text lists included in LAlarmHdl, the following steps
have to be done in the engineering of the HMI in WinCC Comfort.
1. Choose background colors for the alarm classes in the HMI

2.2.9 Cycle time reduction and data storage adaption in fully autonomous
solution
To guarantee the best performance in cycle time and to have the best use of data
storage in the PLC some constants should be adapted to the needs of the project.
LALARMHDL_DOS_PER_IO_SYSTEM_UPPER_LIM
The most import constant is LALARMHDL_DOS_PER_IO_SYSTEM_UPPER_LIM.
This constant defines the number of instances of instruction Program_Alarm that
are strictly limited depending on PLC type.
The drive objects are counted for each drive system in the instance data block at
tag statNextFreeAlarmIdx. Keep in mind that only connected and fully detected
drive systems are counted.
The constant should be set one less than the accumulated number of drive objects,
because the corresponding array starts with 0.
LALARMHDL_MAX_DOS_PER_DEVICE
The constant LALARMHDL_MAX_DOS_PER_DEVICE influences the memory
usage in the PLC but doesn’t have any influence on cycle time.
The constant should be set to the maximum number of drive objects existing at any
drive system at any IO system.
LALARMHDL_MAX_DEVICES_PER_IO_SYSTEM
The constant LALARMHDL_MAX_DEVICES_PER_IO_SYSTEM influences the
memory usage in the PLC but doesn’t have any influence on cycle time.
The constant should be set to the maximum number of devices available at any IO
system at the PLC where alarm handling should be integrated.

2.3 Operation
2.3.1 Operation of the fully autonomous solution
If the fully autonomous solution with the FB LAlarmHdl_DriveAlarmsIOSystem is

used, no further operation is necessary.
If a SINAMICS drive system, configured in the hardware configuration, is not
available at the IO system (e.g. device is disconnected), all messages for this
device are deleted. When the device returns, it is checked for pending messages
and reintegrated in the alarm handling.
2.3.2 Operation of the modular approach
Activation
The FB LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms is activated via the enable input. After
enabling the block, the other inputs of the interface are used to read the messages
from a drive object. With a falling edge at enable input the FB is stopped and all
messages are deleted from the alarm view.
If an error occurs, the error can be acknowledged by restart of the FB with a new
rising edge at enable input.

1) The function block is activated by setting the enable input. After enabling
the FB, the output status is changing to STATUS_FIRST_CALL and
afterwards to STATUS_SUBSEQUENT_CALL. All configuration
parameters are stored internally at the rising edge of the enable input.
In case there is a configuration error, (e.g. the number of read messages
per cycle is too high) the error output is set and a respective status is
displayed.
2) With a falling edge of enable, the function block is reset.
3) The constant is corrected now, and the FB enable input is set again.
4) Enabling of function block is finished when valid output is signalizing
TRUE. The function block is ready for operation.
5) The FB is deactivated with reset of the enable input. The valid output is
reset immediately. When deactivating is finished the output busy is reset
and the output status changes to STATUS_NO_CALL.

Entry-ID: 109761931, V1.1, 02/2022 31

Reading of messages
Messages are read according to the input that is set.
Alarms are read as long as the readAlarms input is set or as long as the alarm is
pending on the drive object.
The same handling is used for faults with the readFaults input and safety integrated
messages with the readSIMessages input.

1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8)
1) The reading of alarms is started with a rising edge at readAlarms input.

The first scenario shows the connection of the input to the status word of
the drive object. So, at the same time the readAlarms input is set an alarm
is active in the drive.
2) After the reading has been finished and an alarm was detected, the
alarmActive output is set and the alarm is sent to the alarm view of the
PLC. The drive object is checked for alarms in the updateInterval.
3) The readAlarms input is reset, but the alarm was not cleared in the drive.
In this case the block keeps on reading the alarms in the updateInterval
until the alarm has been cleared in the drive object. After recognizing that
the alarm is cleared the alarm is deleted from the alarm view.
4) No alarm occurred in drive. The readAlarms input is set. In this case the
drive object is checked immediately and afterwards in the updateInterval
with acyclic data exchange.
5) An alarm in the drive object occurs. In the next updateInterval the alarm is
read from the drive object, the alarmActive output is set and the alarm is
sent to the alarm view of the PLC.
6) The alarm is cleared in the drive object. In the next updateInterval the reset
of the alarm is recognized by the block and the alarm is reset in the alarm
view of the PLC.
7) The readAlarms input is reset and the reading of the alarms is stopped. For
some reason an alarm is stuck in the alarm view and was not reset by the
PLC.
8) Stuck alarms set by this instance can be cleared by setting the
resetAlarmView input. If the error was not cleared in the drive object and
the resetAlarmView input is set, the message is also deleted. After
resetting the input, not acknowledged alarms are set again when the
readAlarms input is set.

2.3.3 Operation of the WinCC Comfort Panel
To show the messages in the WinCC Comfort Panel the configured alarm view has
to be opened. The messages are automatically shown in the alarm view at the time
they appear.

2.4 Error handling

2.4.1 Error handling of fully autonomous solution
The fully autonomous solution with the FB LAlarmHdl_DriveAlarmsIOSystem sets

only errors at the commissioning phase. That means if all drives are connected to
the PLC and no error is appearing, also no error is shown at the polling phase. The
errors can all be solved with configuring the according constants and restarting the
PLC.
WARN_ADD_SINA_DRIVE_ALARMS – 16#7200
Error at an instance of the subfunction LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms occurred.
More information can be found in the diagnostics output of the function block.
The according instance can be found in the instance data block of the FB
LAlarmHdl_DriveAlarmsIOSystem. The according index of multi instance array
(instAlarmHdl) is diagnostics.instanceIndex.The device where the error occurred
can be found in ioSystemData.devices[diagnostics.deviceIndex].
NOTE Most likely the call of the LAcycCom_ResourceManager is missing if this error
occurs.
ERR_MAX_DEVICES_PER_IO_SYSTEM – 16#8401
More devices are configured in the IO system than could be stored in the
predefined storage.
To solve the problem, increase the constant LALARMHDL_MAX_DEVICES_
PER_IO_SYSTEM in tag table LAlarmHdl_Tags to the number of devices
configured in your hardware configuration for this IO system.
ERR_NO_OF_DOS_PER_IOSYSTEM – 16#8402
More drive objects were found in the IO system than could be polled with the
predefined storage.
To solve the problem, increase the constant LALARMHDL_DOS_PER_IO_
SYSTEM_UPPER_LIM in tag table LAlarmHdl_Tags to the number of DOs that are
configured in your IO system.
ERR_NO_OF_DOS_PER_DEVICE – 16#8403
More drive objects were found in a configured device than could be saved in the
predefined storage
To solve the problem, increase the constant LALARMHDL_MAX_DOS_PER_
DEVICE in tag table LAlarmHdl_Tags to the number of DOs existing in the device
with the most drive objects.
ERR_GET_DEVICE_STATE – 16#8600
Error at called system function DeviceStates. Have a look at the Online Help of
STEP 7 Professional with the error code displayed in the output
diagnostics.subfunctionStatus.
ERR_GET_NAME – 16#8601

2.4.2 Error handling of modular approach
The modular approach with FB LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms can have errors

that must be solved after first start as well as errors which must be solved at
runtime.
ERR_READ_DRIVE_MESSAGES – 16#8601
An error in the subfunction LAcycCom_ReadDriveMessagesDateTime occurred.
For more detailed information the error code of the subfunction is displayed in the
output diagnostics.subfunctionStatus.
NOTE More information about the error code in diagnostics.subfunctionStatus can be

found in the LAcycCom manual:
The diagnostics of the LAcycCom_ReadDriveMessagesDateTime block can be
found in the instance data block of LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms at the tag
instReadDriveMessages.diagnostics.
NOTE Most likely the call of the LAcycCom_ResourceManager is missing if this error
occurs.
ERR_TRIGGERED_ALARMS_PER_CYCLE – 16#8602
For a drive object more alarms are triggered in a cycle than possible. Please
decrease the internal constant NO_OF_TRIGGERED_ALARMS_PER_CYCLE in
the FB LAlarmHdl_AddSINADriveAlarms.

2.5 Time synchronization of SINAMICS drive systems

When using an alarm handling system which integrates the drive messages into
the alarm view, it is necessary to synchronize the time between the controller and
the drives. The advantage of synchronized times is that the messages from the
drives and the messages of the controller (e.g. technology object) are sorted by
timestamp in the alarm view. This allows a first fault analysis.
If the timestamp of a drive and the PLC differs too much, the alarm handling blocks
use automatically the timestamp of the PLC when transferring the alarm to the
alarm display in the PLC.
Table 2-19:Time synchronization methods according to drive system
