1 1 1.1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration A New Concept for Your Benefit Advanced PC Configuration is the new tool with which you can commission a PC station as part of an industrial communication network. SIMATIC NET supports the option of using Advanced PC Configuration on a central engineering station (ES) to configure not only PC stations but also, for example, operator stations (OS).
1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration LDB Databases no Longer Required By configuring on a central station and with the option of downloading, LDB databases are no longer required for the DP, FMS, and S7 protocols. Configuration and project engineering data can be exported to XDB files in STEP 7; they must be imported into the central data management on the PC station using the Station Configuration Editor.
1 1.2 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration PC Stations in SIMATIC Use of PCs in Automation A “PC station” is a PC with communication modules and software components within an automation solution with SIMATIC. The hardware configuration of a PC station can be compared with the configuration of an S7 controller In SIMATIC: In an SIMATIC S7-400, modules are inserted in the slots in the rack.
1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration Uniform Engineering Environment The PC station is handled just like a SIMATIC S7 controller during project engineering with STEP 7 / NCM PC: You connect the S7 stations and PC stations to the network in the network view and specify communication connections. The project engineering data is downloaded to the stations at the touch of a button.
1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration Index for Every Component To allow communication between the components in the PC station and to receive project engineering data, each component is assigned a unique identification number. The identification number for modules, applications, and other components in a PC station is the index. Analogous to the slot of a module in an S7-400 controller, the index corresponds to a virtual slot in a PC station.
1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration 1.3 A Brief Introduction to Tools and Utilities Once you have installed the SIMATIC NET software, you have the following tools available: Basic tools: Station Configuration Editor With this tool, you insert the modules and components into the “virtual” slots of the PC station and assign them addresses and parameters. Project engineering tool SIMATIC NCM PC SIMATIC NCM PC is a version of STEP 7 specially for project engineering of PC stations.
1 1.4 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration Guide to Installation and Commissioning Before you start commissioning, you should clarify the area of operation of your PC station and select the required mode for your communication module. The steps involved in commissioning differ depending on the mode you select for your communication module. Below, you can see an overview of the steps involved in commissioning. The sections following then describe the individual steps and tools in greater detail. 1.4.
1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration Mixed operation is possible. Since you can set the mode for individual communication modules, you can also use the PC station in mixed operation. Mixed operation, in this sense, means the use of several communications modules some in the configured and some in the PG mode. Depending on the selected mode, the information below applies to the individual modules of the PC station.
1 1.4.2 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration Commissioning for PG Operation - Overview PG operation is the default mode for programming devices (PG/PC) and HMI stations. Step How does it work? 1. Installing SIMATIC NET software Install the SIMATIC NET software based on the installation instructions 2. Installing the hardware (PC modules) Install the communication module in the PC station 3.
1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration 1.4.3 Commissioning for Configured Mode - Overview When commissioning in the configured mode, three situations can be distinguished. The situation depends on whether or not project engineering data is already available in the form of an XDB file or whether commissioning is independent of project engineering (no XDB file).
1 S Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration Case b) Initial configuration with existing project engineering (XDB file) With this method, it is assumed that the PC station and its components and applications is first created in project engineering in STEP 7 / NCM PC. This produces a database (XDB file) that is then available for the commissioning engineer for the initial configuration.
1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration S Case c) Initial configuration without existing project engineering (XDB file) This is, for example, the situation when the commissioning personnel do not have an XDB file but the devices need to be installed in a plant and their functionality checked. Regardless of the initial configuration, the stations and their connections can be (PC and PLC) can be set up in the project engineering.
1 Step Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration How does it work? S for “offline mode”: Save project Tool S HW Config / NetPro engineering data of the PC station in XDB. 7. Downloading the Depending on how the PC station can Project Engineering be reached: Data to the PC Station S online: (local or remote) load project engineering data on station S Import XDB S SIMATIC Manager S Station Configuration Editor Result: PC station is ready for productive communication 8.
2 2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” Getting Started “Configured Mode” The “configured mode” should be selected for productive communication between applications in the PC station and the programmable controllers, for example SIMATIC S7-400. This chapter explains how to commission your PC station with communication modules for this mode for the first time (initial configuration).
2 2.1 Getting Started “Configured Mode” Steps in Creating Project Engineering Data To create the project engineering data, you use the SIMATIC NCM PC or SIMATIC STEP 7 tool. Why do we need project engineering data? To allow the device networked in a plant to communicate, the devices must be supplied with data on the components and the communication connections. Before devices can go over to productive operation, the project engineering data must first be created and loaded on the devices.
2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” Follow the steps below: Steps in Project Engineering 1. Start the SIMATIC NCM PC from the Start menu. (Start "SIMATIC "SIMATIC NCM PC). As an alternative if “online local” : Use the PC Station Wizard If you want to create the project engineering database on the PC station you are configuring (online local) and the initial configuration has been made, you can start the PC Station Wizard as an alternative.
2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” Steps in Project Engineering 3. Change to NCM PC Config / HW Config and enter the intended modules and applications (take them from the catalog). (omitted if data entered by the PC Station Wizard) The software applications that use communication services directly must also be specified in project engineering. One direct use is calling the protocol-specific function libraries.
2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” Steps in Project Engineering 5. Save the configuration. (omitted if data entered by the PC Station Wizard) 6. 30 Change to NetPro to network the station and to create the connections in the project engineering.
2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” Steps in Project Engineering Note: You can create the S7 station shown in the screenshot only with STEP 7/HW Config. In SIMATIC NCM PC, you can open and edit a project containing S7 stations. You can, however, only create and download project engineering data for PC stations. 7. XDB export for offline mode: When you save and compile the project, the project engineering data of the PC station is saved in an XDB file.
2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” Steps in Project Engineering 8. If the PC station is available online (local or remote), the next step is the initial configuration of the station. Note: To load the project engineering data locally, you must set the access point S7ONLINE for the PC station to PC-internal (local). Summary In the “project engineering” step described here, the following activities were explained: 1. Creating a STEP 7 project or using an existing STEP 7 project. 2.
2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” Where to go from here - optional activities Once the project engineering configuration has been accepted, the PC station is operational. The following steps allowing the use of symbols, diagnostics, and calling the OPC Scout are optional. You should, however, check that the modules in your PC station are operational using the diagnostic functions.
2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” 2.2 Steps for Initial Configuration For the initial configuration, use one of the following tools depending on the procedure: S Station Configuration Editor S STEP 7 / NCM PC Why do we need an initial configuration? When a module is started up for the first time, it must be configured. This initial configuration is necessary for all newly installed modules.
2 2.2.1 Getting Started “Configured Mode” Case a) Initial configuration using remote configuration with STEP 7 / NCM PC The target PC station that is available online is configured directly with STEP7 / NCM PC remote. The advantage of this is that the project engineering data and the PC configuration are consistent and the total effort is minimal. Address parameters are adopted from the project engineering.
2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” How to Make the ”Initial Configuration with an XDB File” 3. Follow the instructions in the online help of the dialog to create and complete the remote configuration.
2 2.2.2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” Case b) Initial configuration with XDB file In this case, you can import the XDB file with the project engineering data for the PC station directly. The advantage of this is that the project engineering data and the PC configuration are consistent and the total effort is minimal. Address parameters are adopted from the project engineering.
2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” How to Make the ”Initial Configuration with an XDB File” 3 If you want to prevent project engineering data from being transferred online at a later point in time, select the “Work offline...” option...”. The default is that project engineering data can be transferred online.
2 2.2.3 Getting Started “Configured Mode” Initial configuration without XDB file In this case, you specify the modules during initial configuration in the Station Configuration Editor. You can transfer project engineering data to the PC station later by downloading or importing an XDB file. You can also create project engineering data locally on the PC station and then import it later into the engineering system (NCM PC).
2 Getting Started “Configured Mode” How to Make the Initial Configuration without an XDB File 4 In the properties dialog that opens, give the module an address. In some cases, you can also set further module parameters, for example bus parameters, (mandatory with PROFIBUS). 5 Repeat the steps for all other modules that exist in the local station and that you want to operate in configured mode. 6 Using the “Add” button, add the applications to be operated on the station.
3 3 Getting Started “PG Operation” Getting Started “PG Operation” This chapter shows you how you can configure your PC module in PG operation. In this situation, we distinguish two modes: S Programming device (PG/PC) S HMI stations The default setting for the PC modules is PG operation. Requirement: SIMATIC NET PC software and hardware are installed Before you work through the steps described here, you must first install the SIMATIC NET software and the hardware on your PC station.
3 Getting Started “PG Operation” 3.1 Configuration for PG Operation - Programming Device (PG/PC) You configure a module using the “Set PG/PC Interface“ tool. Follow the steps below: How to Configure for PG Operation 1. You can start the configuration program from the Windows taskbar: Start " SIMATIC " SIMATIC NET " Set PG/PC Interface. As an alternative you can also start it from the Control Panel: Start " Settings " Control Panel " Set PG/PC Interface. 2.
3 Getting Started “PG Operation” How to Configure for PG Operation 3. Set the required communication parameters. With your module selected, you can click on “Properties” and then set the communication parameters. In normal situations, the parameter settings do not need to be modified (for more detailed information on the parameters, refer to the online help that you can display by clicking the “Help” button in the Settings dialog). For more information on certain module types, see below. 4.
3 Getting Started “PG Operation” 3.2 Configuration for PG Operation - HMI Stations You configure a module using the “Set PG/PC Interface” tool. Initially the procedure is identical to configuration for PG operation - programming device (PG/PC) as described in Section 3.1. The communication module remains in “PG operation”; it is then configured so that applications can communicate over communication interfaces without further connection configuration in the project engineering.
3 Getting Started “PG Operation” How to Configure for HMI Operation 2.1 Select the access point in the “Access Point of the Application” list box. The current assignment then appears at the bottom in the list box “Interface Parameter Assignment Used”. 2.2 If the suitable access point for your application is not present, click the “Select” button in the “Add/Remove” field. This opens the dialog in which you can add new access points.
3 Getting Started “PG Operation” How to Configure for HMI Operation 2.3 Confirm your entries. As an alternative, you can also specify new access points in the “Configuration Console” tool. -> see “Tools” 2.4 In the “Interface Parameter Assignment Used“ list box (or “Assigned Interface Parameter Assignment”), select the entry you require.
3 Getting Started “PG Operation” Entries in the Client Program For communication without project engineering data as described here, all the data of the partner device relevant for communication must be known. Apart from the access point described above, this includes the connection name and the station address. The necessary parameters are described in detail in the manual on OPC /1/. Below, we want to show you how to add the ITEM and its parameters to the user program.
3 Getting Started “PG Operation” After adding the item and as long as the item is active, the connection can be used like a configured connection. This means that you can browse in the name space and also add further items without using the syntax of the unconfigured connection. All you need to do is specify the connection name, for example S7:[S7_conn_1]MB1.
4 4 4.1 Using Additional Functions - Special Features to Note Using Additional Functions - Special Features to Note Checking the Configuration and Diagnostics The “Configuration Console” tool is a central tool for access to the components and data of the PC station during the following tasks: S Commissioning and operation S Editing the configuration S Diagnostics For more detailed information on the available functions, refer to the description in Chapter 16 “Tools”. 4.

18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program for example Windows 2000,... for example Windows XP The “General”, “Options” and “MSDTC” tabs only appear in Windows XP and are not discussed further in this section. The “Default Properties”, “Default Protocols” and “Default COM Security” tabs provide the same setting options as in other Windows versions. In Windows XP, the “Applications” tab is absent.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program Note In Windows XP + SP2, the “Default COM Security” tab has been renamed to ”COM Security”. Note If you lower the security settings, the system must be restarted to activate the changes. Notice The settings listed in this description guarantee simple installation and startup of the DCOM protocol. Some of the security settings of the operating system are reduced.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program Settings When operating in a domain, the default authentication level can by set to “Connect” and the Default Impersonation Level to “Identify” for security reasons. In this case the relevant accounts must be specified in the “Default Security” (see Section 18.3). For DCOM operation with the OPC server within a workgroup (no domain server available for authentication) make the settings as shown here.
18 18.3 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program ”Default Security” / ”Default COM Security” / ”COM Security” Tab Description of the Settings In this tab (Windows 2000 : ”Default Security” ; Windows XP : ”Default COM Security”, Windows XP+SP2 : ”COM Security”), you can specify the permissions for DCOM. These properties are used by all COM objects that do not have their own settings (settings made after selection in the “Applications” tab).
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program Table 18-1 Meaning Default Permissions Access permissions The default access permissions for all COM objects specify which accounts are allowed to access the object; in other words, call the methods and which accounts are explicitly denied access. Launch permissions The default launch permissions for all COM objects specify which accounts have the right to create the object and which accounts are explicitly denied this permission.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program New as of Windows XP + SP2: As of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, you can also set the limit for applications that specify their own permissions. Communication over OPC requires the following security limits: S Local and remote access for the ANONYMOUS LOGON in Access Permission You should set the following permissions for the applications used (for example, OPC.SimaticNET) (see 18.4 and 18.6.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program 18.4 DCOM Configuration / “Applications” Tab Description of the Settings In Windows XP, first open the “DCOM Configuration” folder in “My Computer” to display all the COM objects available on the computer. Here, you select a COM object you want to configure and open the configuration dialog by clicking the “Properties” button.
18 18.5 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program “Default Protocols” Tab Description of the Settings In the “Default Protocols” tab, you specify the network protocols that are available for DCOM. Note The OPC server of SIMATIC NET was tested with the “Connection-oriented TCP/IP” protocol. Since the order of the protocols in the dialog decides the priority, DCOM uses the protocol at the top of the list if it is available.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program 18.6 Configuration of the Server Computer Introduction On the PC station in which the OPC server is operated, you must set which accounts have the right to use the server. In addition to the special permissions in conjunction with OPC, the account of the user of the OPC servers must also have user permissions. Below you will see the tabs in which you can make the necessary settings. Select the application and click on the “Properties” button.
18 18.6.1 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program “General” Tab: Registering the OPC Server With the OPC server, the default setting assumes an open system and assumes that the user will adapt the settings when higher security is required. If you select the “Security” tab with this setting for the authentication level, you will see the entry “Everyone” if user-defined access right (see below in Section18.6.4).
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program 18.6.2 “Location” Tab Description of the Settings The “Location” tab is used to specify the computer on which the server is started. Since the configuration of the computer with the OPC server is described in this section, you must select the “Run application on this computer” setting.
18 18.6.3 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program “Identity” Tab Description of the Settings The settings made in the “Identity” tab specify the account to be accessed to check the permissions of the user of the object. Here, various settings are possible: S “Interactive User” S “The Launching User” S “This User” Table 18-2 Meaning Setting “Interactive User” The account of the currently logged on user is used.

18 18.6.4 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program “Security” Tab Introduction You specify the access permissions for the OPC server in the “Security” tab. For the three aspects relevant to COM objects, you can either use the default permissions or user-defined permissions for the selected COM object. Notice If you select the default settings in the “Security” tab, you must make sure that the necessary rights are available for the account entered in the “Identity” tab.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program Specifying the Standard Permissions The users that are allowed to use the OPC server must be entered in the default access permissions, launch permissions, and configuration permissions. Several users have been entered in the following examples of the required permissions: Both on the server and on the client computer, the logons (and therefore the information about permissions in the logon) must exist on the other computer.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program New as of Windows XP + SP2: As of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, communication over OPC also requires the following permissions to be set up: S Local and remote launch for the ANONYMOUS LOGON in Launch Permission; S Local and remote activation for Anonymous Logon in Launch Permission; S Local and remote access for the Anonymous Logon in Access Permission The settings are made automatically when you install the SIMATIC NET CD.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program Specifying Access Permissions Activity 1. After clicking the “Edit” button in the “Use custom access permissions” box, the following dialog box appears: 2. Add the account of the user under which the OPC server will start. If different, you must also add the account of the user under which the client runs. Access must only be permitted for the SYSTEM account to allow operation of the SIMATIC NET system services. The default setting is “Everyone”.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program Specifying Launch Permissions Activity 1. After clicking the “Edit” button in the “Use custom launch permissions” box, the following dialog box appears: 2. Add the account of the user under which the OPC Server will be started and, if different, the account under which the client runs. The default setting is “Everyone”.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program Specifying Configuration Permissions Activity 1. After clicking the “Edit” button in the “Use custom configuration permissions” box, the following dialog box appears: 2. Add the account of the user under which the OPC Server will be started and, if different, the account under which the client runs.
18 18.7 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program Configuration of the Client Computer Overview When operating with DCOM, this situation is that the OPC server runs on a different computer from the OPC clients (applications). This is why no process for the OPC server is visible in the Windows Task Manager of the client computer.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program Registering the OPC server - follow the steps below: The location of the server must be specified in the “Location” tab. For DCOM operation, only the check box “Run application on the following computer:” must be selected. Click “Browse” to locate the server computer.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program Registering the OPC Scout as Client The OPC Scout is an OPC client that you will find in DCOM as a registered object. If you display the properties of the OPC Scout application DCOM, “None” is displayed as the authentication level. The default setting therefore assumes an open system and assumes that the user will adapt the settings when higher security is required.
18 DCOM Settings with the dcomcnfg System Program It is advisable to register other OPC clients as DCOM objects. The advantage of this is that you can configure the security settings as described here with DCOMCNFG without needing to modify system-wide settings. Security Settings per User Program You can also make the settings described in the earlier sections using the user program.
