3. IMPORTANCE OF CMS:
HMI provides easy access of data.
PLC I/Os can be monitored as just “ok” or “fault”.
Provide friendly interface between PLC I/Os and Users.
Reduce brake down.
Help to increase availability of Crane.
Easy troubleshooting by visual screens.
Helpful during corrective and preventive maintenance.
CMS can run independent of Step7 software.

4. CRANE WITHOUT CMS:
No quick access to PLC I/Os.
Difficult for new engineers to trace fault.
Joystick position can not be monitored.
Voltage / Current graph can not be observed.
Troubleshooting time increase.
Increase break down time.

6. CMS PROJECT PLANNING & WORK FLOW
○ Configuration of OPC Server 2016
 Configure channel name as “STS”.
 Assigning device driver as “Siemens TCP/IP Ethernet”
 Assigning IP address of computer in network adapter.
 Configure PLC.
 Assigning PLC model as S7 400.
 Assigning PLC IP address.
 Insert Step 7 project file address.

7. CMS PROJECT PLANNING & WORK FLOW
o Selecting I/Os & Alarms Address:
 Compile all important I/Os & alarms address which need to be monitored.
 Arrange all I/Os address in different tags group.
 Assign all I/Os and alarm in different tag group of OPC Server 2016.
 Make OPC Server 2016 in Run Time.

9. CMS PROJECT PLANNING & WORK FLOW
 LabView Work:
1- LabView Project Explorer
○ Create a project file.
○ Create I/O SERVER in project.
○ Assign computer in the field of machine name.
○ Select NI OPC server.
○ Create libraries for all tags assigned in OPC Server 2016.
○ Create shared variables for all I/Os address in libraries.
○ Call all tags from OPC to LabView libraries.

2- Designing Front Panel:
o Using Tab control to make different tabs for each section of
crane like, hoisting, trolley gantry etc.
o All I/Os and indicators were designed in each tab.
o Some control were design to display hoist trolley and boom
position.

3-Coding:
o Terminal of each variables were connected with its
corresponding variable from LabView project explorer.
o Make sure to present each variable in its same tab where its
indicator are present in front panel.
o Some data type had to change in order to give user selection
from front panel.

31. OVERVIEW OF CMS PROJECT:
 Status of Hoist, Trolley, Gantry and Boom can be view on each single page.
 At any instant of time hoist, trolley and boom position can be viewed visually
and numerically.
 Display of wind speed.
 Display of container weight.
 Display of hoisting, Trolley, Gantry and Boom speed.
 Display of joystick position.
 Display of Hoist, Trolley and Gantry reference to drive.
 Display of all slow down.

32. ADVANTAGE OF IN-HOUSE CMS PROJECT DESIGN:
○ Easy to add, delete or edit any data in CMS.
○ Any new features of software can be implemented easly.
○ Not bound to designer.
○ Easy to understand for new engineers and technicians.
○ Fault can be diagnosed without step 7 software.
