5 Operation of the Tool 5.1 Overview of the functions of the SIMATIC Ident Wizard

This section describes all functions of the SIMATIC Ident Wizard.

Creating parameterizations Using the SIMATIC Ident Wizard, you can create new parameterizations (data blocks) for SIMATIC identification systems. The parameters are stored directly in your project in a data block. During this process, a new global data block is generated.

Reading back parameterizations The SIMATIC Ident Wizard is used to read the existing parameterizations out of the STEP 7 project. In the STEP 7 project, the SIMATIC Ident Wizard searches the blocks of a station for structures that contain the parameterizations for SIMATIC identification systems. The loaded data can be used for further processing.

NOTE Reading back parameterizations that have not been created using the SIMATIC Ident Wizard is possible only to a limited extent.

Exporting the overview of read back parameterizations An overview of read back parameterizations of an identification station can be saved as a *.csv file. This data can, for example, be used for your documentation.

NOTE Parameterizations that have not been created with the SIMATIC Ident Wizard cannot be changed. In the overview, parameterizations that cannot be changed are grayed out. However, you can use this data as a template and use the wizard’s Copy function to create a new DB.

Changing existing parameterizations The tool enables you to change read back parameterizations. Subsequently, the data is stored in the same location in the STEP 7 project.

Creating new parameterizations using the Copy function New parameterizations can be created by copying and changing a read back parameterization. This facilitates the creation and data input if there are many identification stations with identical design. Grayed out parameterizations can be copied to a new data block using the Copy function.

Assigning a name for the identification device A name for the identification device can be specified for the parameterization. (For example, the plant identification code can be used as a name.) This provides a better overview if there are several parameterized identification devices. This name is stored in the comment of the data block.

NOTICE This name is stored in comment lines of the parameterizations. These comment lines in the data block are recognizable by the “#!” character and must not be used for other purposes.

Generating the call of FB45 as text At the end of wizard execution, the prepared call of FB45 is offered to you as text or to be saved to a text file. This enables you to copy the call of FB45 directly to the desired location in your user program.

Assigning symbolic name A symbolic name can be assigned for a data block. This facilitates clarity for several configurations. This name is imported in the symbol table of the STEP 7 projects and can be utilized in the user program. Existing symbolic names can be read back by the SIMATIC Ident Wizard and displayed in the list of configuration data.

5.2 General information on the interactive screenforms

The following sections describe the dialog boxes of the SIMATIC Ident Wizard from an overall view. The interactive screenforms are largely self-explanatory.

it is inserted. In this case, the other block folder will be read back and the data block number will be checked once again after clicking on the “Next” button. Assign the desired data block number. The SIMATIC Ident Wizard checks whether the specified block already exists in your S7 program. If the block does not yet exist in your S7 program, it will be generated. If the block does exist, you have to enter a different number. You also have the option to assign a symbolic name for the data block. As suggestion for a symbolic name the PIC / Name is used if this name is not present in the symbol table. The name for the symbolic can be changed by user input. If the PIC / Name is already present in the symbolic table, the entry field will stay empty at first and can be filled by the user. The SIMATIC Ident Wizard checks whether the specified symbolic name already exists in your S7 program. If the name does exist, you have to enter a different name. If parameterizations are changed (“Change” function), selections in this dialog box cannot be changed. The parameterizations are stored in the same data block.

Interactive screenform: Overview Figure 5-13

To check the changes to be made, this dialog box once again provides an overview of parameterizations. The changes are highlighted in gray. The SIMATIC Ident Wizard checks the used combination of ASM address and ASM channel for multiple use and outputs a warning if there are overlaps. The relevant fields are marked in red.

NOTE Until this interactive screenform is displayed, no changes have been made in the STEP 7 project. When selecting the “Finish” button, the block will be compiled and inserted into your selected project.

NOTICE The SIMATIC Ident Wizard stores wizard-specific information in the generated data block. The wizard writes this information to the comment fields of the STRUCT variable. These comments start and end with the special characters #! and !#.

You must not change or delete these comments; otherwise, the wizard can no longer correctly read back the identification information of the data block!

Interactive screenform: Compilation report Figure 5-14

This dialog box displays the compilation results. If no errors are displayed in the report, the changes in the STEP 7 project have been successfully made. Otherwise, no changes have been made. If an error message is displayed in the report, check whether the used block has been opened for other purposes.

NOTE The AWL file displayed in the compilation report is created temporarily, compiled and subsequently deleted.

“Call list” button in the “Compilation report” screenform Figure 5-15

The “Call list” button provides the prepared text for calling FB45. It enables you to copy the call of FB45 directly to the desired location in your user program. You can do this in two different ways: 1. Select the text and copy this text to the Windows clipboard by simultaneously

pressing “CTRL” and “C”. You can then copy the clipboard contents directly to your STEP 7 block.

2. Select the “Export as text-file” button and enter the name of the file under which you want to save this text. From this text file, the saved call of FB45 can now be copied to your STEP 7 block at all times.

6 Further Notes, Tips and Tricks Why can the identification data block not be read back?

The SIMATIC Ident Wizard searches for exactly the parameters in the blocks that are defined as a data structure for FB45. The wizard checks whether variable name, variable type and the correct order match. Check whether the data structure of the block corresponds to the necessary data structure (UDT 10). Data blocks created using the SIMATIC Ident Wizard are read back.

Why can an existing identification parameterization not be changed but only copied? For parameterizations that have not been created using the wizard, the wizard cannot uniquely assign the relevant command structures (e.g., structures in UDTs, instance DBs, nested structures, etc.). Therefore these self-created parameterizations can be read in only to a limited extent and further edited. However, you can apply the basic parameterization (device parameters) and use the Copy function to generate a new identification data block.

Why are only a specific number of commands permissible when changing? The size of the command data structure cannot be subsequently increased using the wizard. Therefore the wizard always creates at least 20 structures for the command data when reparameterizing. If commands are added when changing a parameterization, these unused command structures (max. 20) are initially used. More than 20 commands can only be parameterized in the modification parameterization if not more commands are needed than have been created in the original reparameterization.

How is the data block created with the SIMATIC Ident Wizard structured? The wizard creates the “RFID_1” structure. This structure contains parameters for one channel and further subordinate “cmd_x” structures for commands (x stands for 1…n number of command structures, n = at least 20).

Why does the generated DB contain so many Reserved commands? See: “Why are only a specific number of commands permissible when changing?”

Why are comments marked with !# stored in the identification data block? The wizard stores important information in these comments. The wizard needs these comments for its Read Back function and therefore they must not be changed.

I have an already existing parameterization that has been recognized by the wizard, but I cannot execute the “Change” function. How can I add commands to this structure?

Use the Copy function to copy the data to a new data block. You can now edit the data in the new data block using the wizard. If you want to continue to use the same data block number, delete the original DB and rename the new data block generated by the wizard in the SIMATIC Manager.

How do I proceed in my project after creating the identification data block? You can integrate the call of FB45 into your STEP 7 program. The wizard provides the call of FB45, incl. call parameters, as a txt file (see Wizard – Call list).

In the generated identification data block, the wizard has created the data for the terminal device, incl. interface module, and the command data (Read, Write). Make sure that the pointers to the data areas (data DB) parameterized in this data block are correct. You can program command calls in your S7 program.
