    Study Notes

    Calculate Instruction

    • The Calculate instruction provides two input parameters and an output parameter.
    • The input and output parameters must be of the same data type.
    • For example, select the "Real" data type for the input and output parameters.
    • The equation for scaling a raw analog value is: Out value = ((Out high - Out low) / (In high - In low)) * (In value - In low) + Out low
    • The equation can be rewritten with parameter names: OUT = ((in4 - in5) / (in2 - in3)) * (in1 - in3) + in5

    Adding an HMI Device

    • To add an HMI device to the project, double-click the "Add new device" icon.
    • Select the "SIMATIC HMI" button in the "Add new device" dialog.
    • Choose the specific HMI device from the list.
    • The TIA Portal adds the HMI device to the project.
    • The HMI wizard can be used to configure the screens for the HMI device.

    Creating a Network Connection

    • To create a network connection, go to "Devices and Networks" and select the Network view.
    • Drag a line from the green box (Ethernet port) on one device to the green box on the other device.
    • A network connection is created for the two devices.

    Creating an HMI Connection

    • To create an HMI connection, select the network connection and click the "Connections" button.
    • Select "HMI connection" from the drop-down list.
    • The HMI connection allows you to configure the HMI tags by selecting a list of PLC tags.
    • Alternative methods for creating an HMI connection include:
      • Dragging a PLC tag from the PLC tag table, program editor, or device configuration editor to the HMI screen editor.
      • Using the HMI wizard to browse for the PLC.

    Creating an HMI Screen

    • To create an HMI screen, use the standard set of libraries provided by STEP 7.
    • Insert basic shapes, interactive elements, and standard graphics by dragging and dropping them onto the screen.
    • Configure the appearance and behavior of the element using the properties in the Inspector window.
    • Drag and drop PLC tags from the Project tree or program editor to the HMI screen to create elements on the screen.
    • Use the properties to change the parameters for the element.
