Overview of tools for commissioning support
Listed below are the tools that can provide support with configuration and commissioning.
SIMATIC WinCC
A library in TIA Portal for SIMATIC WinCC is available for integration in an HMI system. This
library contains a specific number of channels and fields; setpoints can be assigned and
actual values can be displayed.
Example application
An example project and a block library for TIA Portal are available for the SIMATIC S7-1500
automation systems to support commissioning of the heating control system.
Note
There is no example project or block library for STEP 7 Classic.
HTML pages (SIMATIC S7)
SIMATIC controllers with PROFINET interface (e.g. S7-1500) have an integrated web server
that contains web pages for displaying diagnostics data. This web server can be accessed
via a standard web browser.
This supports scanning of the firmware version, diagnostics buffer, tag tables and module
status, as well as monitoring of communication links and displaying the topology of the plant.
In the event of a fault, the user can view the exact error message in plain text in the detail
view for the module.
Note
Requirement
This function requires the use of the example application or at least the data structure of the
example application.
