Benefits
- Integral component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA):
increases productivity, minimizes the engineering outlay, reduces the lifecycle costs - ProAgent:
- Provides optimum support for plant and machine personnel in respect of troubleshooting and fault rectification
- Increases plant availability
- Reduces downtimes
- No further configuration overhead for diagnostics functionality
- Frees up PLC capacity with regard to memory and program execution time
- No special operator know-how is required thanks to clearly comprehensible indication of the cause of error
Application
Increased productivity is being achieved more and more by cutting costs. In this context, the focus is increasingly on maintenance. The emphasis here is on rectifying faults as quickly and efficiently as possible. Ideally, the operating personnel should also perform part of the maintenance tasks. The operating personnel are on-site, they are familiar with the procedures and can intervene quickly. This saves time and reduces costs. It is precisely here that ProAgent can assist operating personnel in identifying faults quickly, in particular in the automotive and machine tool industries.
In the event of a process fault, process fault diagnostics with SIMATIC ProAgent will provide information about the location and cause of that fault and support personnel with troubleshooting.
The ProAgent solution has been optimized specifically for use with SIMATIC S7-300/S7-400 and SIMATIC WinAC. It can be used in combination with the S7-PDIAG, S7-GRAPH and S7-HiGraph1) STEP 7 engineering tools. The ProAgent option package features standard displays that are updated with process-specific data during runtime.
1) Process diagnostics with S7-HiGraph in combination with TP/OP/MP 270/277, MP 370/377, and C7636 and PC RT systems.
Function
- Context-sensitive diagnostics initiation due to process error message
- Output of operands with symbols and comment
- Switching is possible between LAD, STL and signal list
- Supporting fault rectification with direct process access when using the motion display
- Output of the faulty operands directly in the message including address, symbol and comment1)
- Consistency test in RT:
Inconsistent diagnostics units are marked with icons. This permits quick locating of faults regarding configured data in the commissioning phase. - Direct, unit-related entry point in the diagnostics display from user displays by using ProAgent functions
- Unit or message-related entry to STEP 7 (LAD/STL/FBD editor, S7-GRAPH, HW CONFIG (upon system error messages)), supported fully automatically 2)
- Unit or message-related entry to STEP 7, supported fully automatically3)
- Graphic display of step sequences
1) In connection with WinCC/ProAgent as of V6.0
2) WinCC/ProAgent as of V5.5 on PC RT
3) Only WinCC/ProAgent as of V5.5
Standardized user interface with standard displays
- Message display
- Unit overview
- Diagnostics detail display
- Motion display
- Sequencer operating display
The displayed screen content is related to the previously selected units or messages. This means that the proper context-sensitive diagnostics screen can be called up based on a message or a selected technological unit.
Message display
All of the existing process messages are shown in the message display. Context-sensitive branching to other diagnostics displays is also possible with a selected message. The operating personnel can also take the message directly from the erroneous operands and react immediately without having to perform any other operations on the HMI device.
The function is available as of version 6.0 for WinCC/ProAgent.
Unit overview
The unit overview displays all technological units and the respective sub-units (system/machine components) in table form. In this display, the operator is able to recognize, for example, which operating mode or which status the respective unit is in. The operating mode can be changed by the operator if required.
Faulty units are marked with attributes.
Diagnostics detail display
The diagnostics detail display shows the faulty operands at the time of origination of a process error. As an option, current status information can also be displayed. The diagnostics results are either displayed in a ladder diagram (LAD), statement list (STL), or in a clearly arranged signal list overview. The output of the operands depends on the display format with symbols and comments from the S7 symbol table. Only the operands that cause the fault are displayed and marked with a highlighted attribute. Switching to a display that calls up the current status of all operands in the controller is also possible.
Motion display
The motion display is used for supported fault rectification. Every motion line contains a comment line that describes the motion (e.g. x-axis), two actions for implementing the motion, response concerning the actuation of a motion and information on the respectively achieved end positions (max. 16).
The motion itself is controlled with softkeys on the side of SIMATIC Panels and Multi Panels. For time-critical motions, the actuation can be done directly through inputs of the controller (depending on the capabilities of the target hardware: 24 V direct keys, DP direct keys via PROFIBUS).
Sequencer operating display
The sequencer operating display supports sequencer control. This makes functions such as initializing and acknowledging sequencers, activating/deactivating individual steps and operating mode settings possible analog to the status/Force in S7-GRAPH. The steps are output to a list with step number/name. Attributes for identifying an active/faulty step give the operating personnel an overview of the current status of the step sequence.
