• DMC
• Dynapar
• Siemens
Traditional Solution
• Single Controller with Remote I/O
Traditional Solution
Advantages
• Single controller
• Initial setup
• One copy of code to
manage
• I/O local to remote racks
• PN communication
Traditional Solution
Disadvantages
• Cost ($$)
• 8 Remote Racks
• More Complicated Panel
Design for Sheave (EX)
• Need Ethernet in addition to
power to sheave
• Not Flexible
• PLC program must be
modified for different configs
• Reel HMI’s must look at
unique tags
Traditional Solution
TIA Portal and the S7-1200
• Each Reel controlled locally
• Sheaves all wired into central ET200SP (CPU)
• 4 encoders/load cells
Distributed Control
S7-1200
• Minimizing Cost
• Built in I/O on 1200
• Single ET200SP (CPU)
in remote panel for
load cell/encoder
• Simple junction box on
sheave
Leveraging the S7-1200
S7 Comm
CUSTOMER BENEFIT = lower cost per system
• Flexibility
• Distributed control
• More options
• Tension/payout
• Multiple reel options
Leveraging the S7-1200
CUSTOMER BENEFIT = ‘custom’ options for Patco’s
customer with no additional development
• Maintainability and Service
• Fewer parts to maintain
• Easy to program via
MMC
• Transfer Cards
• Program Cards
Leveraging the S7-1200
CUSTOMER BENEFIT = easy system setup, service,
and configuration without needing DMC
TIA Portal
Leveraging TIA Portal
• Integrated Projects
• 5 PLCs + 5 HMIs = 1 Project
• Drag & Drop Tags
• Easy PLC to PLC Communication
• Easy to configure HMI
Connections
CUSTOMER BENEFIT = easier for Patco to maintain
should features need to be added
Leveraging TIA Portal
• Extended Diagnostics
• Integrated device level
diagnostics
• Webserver/HMI
• Improves ability to
remotely diagnose any
issues
CUSTOMER BENEFIT = easier troubleshooting in
the field, remote support vs onsite
Leveraging TIA Portal
• Library Functionality
• Typed Function Blocks
• All reels share same code
• Changes only needed in
one place
• Shared PLC/HMI Datatypes
• Easy Faceplate linking
CUSTOMER BENEFIT = minimize testing and
development time, save $$ and time
Leveraging TIA Portal
• Configuration Control
• Define optional modules in
ET200SP rack
• Can set hardware
configuration from HMI
CUSTOMER BENEFIT = One project, multiple hardware
configuration options
Conclusions
• TIA Portal and Siemens
Factory Automation Products
• Flexible/Modular
• Expandable
• Minimize Cost

Editor's Notes

  1. DMC locations – Started in Chicago, opened in Boston two years ago, Denver this past year, Houston, New York. We have customers all over the world (China, India, Turkey, Russia, Mexico, etc.). We now have over 85 engineers with many more starting this year.
  2. TEST & MEASUREMENT AUTOMATION Our Test & Measurement Automation Services help automate laboratory testing using the latest technologies.     CUSTOM SOFTWARE & HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT We can help with your product or application development needs. Our services include product conception, custom electronic hardware development, application development for web, desktop, embedded, and mobile, and the development of developer tools (SDK, Drivers, API, etc.).     MICROSOFT CONSULTING SERVICES DMC has been a certified Microsoft Gold Partner since 2005. We work on software solutions using Microsoft-centric technologies (SharePoint, Office 365, Azure, CRM, .NET, etc.).
  3. We are Siemens Solutions partners with the Factory Automation Group and with WinCC OA and as WinCC Specialists. We are certified with the Control Systems Integrators Association. Member of Solution Partner Program since 2003 Exhibited and presented at Automation Summits since 2006 Involved in multiple strategic engagements with SIIL Funded projects Frank Riordan (DMC President) became Chair of Siemens Solution Partner Council in 2010, serves on User Advisory Board Connect Events @ Automation Summit (’11,’12,’13,’14) Awarded Siemens Customer Excellence Award (2011)
  4. Everything with Siemens except PCS7 and nc/cnc TIA Portal and Step 7 Safety and Wireless Safety SCADA/HMI – WinCC, WinCC Redundant, WinCC Flexible, WinCC Advanced
  5. Our diverse experience in technology, industry and processes allows us to bring best practices from many areas.  We deliver solutions not available from singularly focused organizations. Our experience is broad and deep.  We have a proven track record in a wide range of industries.

  10. RSTAHL Complicated panel design and build – require ATEX/IECEx Class 1 ratings R Stahl has team of experts familiar with zoned/classified spaces Panel design and fabrication DMC Controls/Automation, guidance on hardware selection and architecture Dynapar Encoder help Siemens The best hardware in the industry
  11. Traditional approach: Centralized control, remote I/O racks for each reel/sheave -> 8 SIPLUS ET200SPs 1 for each Sheave Encoder input (TPOS INPUT 1) for absolute encoder Load Cell input to measure tension 1 for each Reel Local I/O – discrete and analog I/O for control -> 5 HMIs (1 Remote Stand, 4 reels)
  12. If we wanted to use 2, 3, or 5 reels, would require hardware and software changes All PLCs
  13. Build in IO reduced need for remote I/O modules Replaced ET200SP’s in sheaves with signal condition, ran signal wires to remote panel for a single ET200SP Controller (1510) 1200’s set up for distributed control with 1510 as data concentrator to get encoder/load cell data (preconditioned in junction box). Turn ET200SP to simple shared I/O rack aggregating and conditioning data for all reels. Also makes it optional – don’t need the encoder/load cell option to function. Configurable from HMI. Also gives ability to have a single point of access for DCS (Modbus/profinet, etc) if need to tie it into existing system
  14. Distributed control each CPU controls a specific reels Number of reels flexible No software changes Can operate in stand alone mode Reel HMI programs can be identical – look at the same tags. Configuration on unit to select the ‘theme.’ Just looking at different IP addresses.
  15. Fewer i/o module types Can easily replace PLC and program using memory card Program cards allow the card to be moved from PLC to PLC (can swap plc’s and move card) Transfer cards allow a ‘master’ card to be inserted to program a PLC
  16. Many advantages to working in Portal vs other automation software packages
  17. Integrated projects Working in RSLogix/FactoryTalk View Studio would require 5 controller projects, 5 HMI projects Drag and drop tags between HMI and PLC Custom data types created on PLC can be shared with HMI and mapped to faceplates Library functionality Use libraries and types. Can edit a single type if change to logic needed and update all 4 reels simultaneously. No copy/paste, no export/import.
