Introduction
1.3 Configuration steps
PCS 7 block library for SIRIUS Soft Starter 3RW44 V6.1/V7.0 + SP1
10 Programming and Operating Manual, 11/2010, A5E02845977020-02
1.3 Configuration steps
Procedure
1. Configuring with HW Config
2. Make the necessary interconnections for the inputs and outputs in the CFC Editor
In so doing, all of the inputs and outputs used must be within the process image.
3. Compile the CFC chart using the "Generate Module Driver" function.
1.4 Handling the driver generator
The "Generate Module Driver" function is available for signal processing in PCS 7. Once the
hardware has been configured in HW Config and the technological functions have been
configured in the CFC, this function automatically generates, interconnects, and
parameterizes the required module drivers. These module drivers are responsible for
diagnosing and reporting errors during signal processing.
The Setup program installs XML files for the connection between the 3RW44 soft starter and
the driver generator.
Supported modules and configurations
The driver concept for the 3RW44 soft starter includes operation of the soft starter:
As a DP slave directly on the DP master system
The connection is made by means of the GSD file.
As a DP slave following a Y link
DPV1 or DPV0 is possible depending on the version of the communication module used.

Programming and Operating Manual, 11/2010, A5E02845977020-02 11
More information
Additional information regarding GSD files is available in the "SIRIUS 3RW44 Soft Starter"
System Manual > Chapter "Configuration with the GSD File".
1. The GSD files for the 3RW44 soft starter are available for download on the Internet. To
download, go to:
GSD files (http://support.automation.siemens.com)
2. Enter the following search term in the "Product Name or Part Number" field under
"Search Product Support Documents:
3RW44*BC* GSD
3. Under Downloads click the relevant entry, e.g., "PROFIBUS GSD files: Switchgears".
4. This displays another Internet page where you can download the GSD files.
Purpose of the driver generator
A signal-processing block is inserted in the CFC for each soft starter, and the connection to
the hardware is established using symbolic addressing. You assign this address in
HW Config of SIMATIC Manager. For detailed information on this, refer to the online help in
"Getting Started".
The "Generate Module Driver" option inserts the additionally required OB_DIAG1 and
SS_DIAG blocks and then connects and assigns the corresponding parameters.

3.5.5 Operating modes
Operating mode Manual operation LOCAL/REMOTE
Soft Starter ES uses the introductory commands Automatic mode (remote control by the
CPU) and Manual mode (Manual operation LOCAL mode) to enable switching between
Manual operation LOCAL and Remote control operations. The process image input 0.0
indicates whether the starter is running in REMOTE or Manual operation LOCAL mode.
The specified operating mode is displayed at the QREMOTE output.
1 = Remote
0 = Manual operation LOCAL/Soft Starter ES
The device is controlled either locally or via Soft Starter ES. When Soft Starter ES is used,
operations are available, such as:
Motor CW
Motor CCW



Note
Slow speed must be enabled in order for the Motor CCW operation to be active.

Trip reset
Emergency start
Slow speed
Output 1
Output 2
Disable Quick Stop
The same information is monitored in the faceplate views.
In Manual operation LOCAL mode, the OUT_01 output of the function block monitors the
process image output (PIQ; byte 1 and byte 2). This ensures that the status of the control
output does not change while the CPU switches back to Remote mode.
In Manual operation LOCAL mode, parameterize the parameter sets with Soft Starter ES or
directly in the hardware of the soft starter. These parameters are synchronized with the
parameters of the function block. This ensures that the status of the parameterized values
does not change while the CPU switches back to Remote mode.
The monitoring function does not monitor in Manual operation LOCAL mode.

1) PIQ = Process image output
2) PII = Process image input, feedback parameters
3) For Motor CCW, the slow speed function must be enabled:
SLSPD_LI = 1 in Auto mode and PIQ 0.6 = 1
The MONITOR parameter indicates whether the monitoring function is enabled or disabled:
MONITOR = 1 enables the monitoring function.
MONITOR = 0 disables the monitoring function.
If the feedback signal of the process image input changes, the monitoring function performs
another check to determine whether a discrepancy exists between the feedback signal and
the process image output. Once the specified monitoring time elapses, any discrepancy is
indicated with monitoring error QMON_ERR.
If the block is in Manual operation LOCAL mode, monitoring errors are not checked. The
process image outputs 0.0 and 0.1 monitor the feedback signal of the process image
input 0.1. This prevents a bump from occurring when the operating mode is changed from
Manual operation LOCAL to Auto or Manual mode.
The monitoring time is specified in seconds. If the monitoring time is less than the sampling
time, the monitoring time will be calibrated to the sampling time.

3.5.6.4 Trip reset
Purpose and trigger of trip reset
Trip reset acknowledges all errors currently pending in the starter that require
acknowledgement. An error can be acknowledged once it has been resolved or if it no longer
exists.
Trip reset can be triggered as follows:
Locally on the device
By actuating TRPRST_OP in the Standard View (command reset), if this view has been
enabled for the Trip reset function:
TRPRSTOP_EN = 1
By the TRPRST_LI link parameter. This is a signal with rising edge.
This sets the process image output DP bit 0.3.
Output parameter QTRPRSTOP indicates whether the Trip reset function is enabled for the
operator.
3.5.6.5 Slow speed
Purpose
This function allows you to temporarily operate an asynchronous motor in both directions of
rotation at a speed that is less than the rated speed.
The slow speed factor and the slow torque can be entered individually for both directions of
rotation in the Parameters View.
Various parameters are used in the different operating modes to set the slow speed.

Operator authorizations
The enable parameters allow the operator to issue the desired commands. These
commands are interconnected to the corresponding outputs. This permits operation to be
enabled from the Standard View of the faceplate.
Example:
If the block is in Manual mode and AUTOP_EN = 0, the operator must not change the
operating mode of the block to Auto. He must not change the operating mode from the
Standard View of the faceplate or in the CFC. QAUTOP = FALSE is set in this process.
In a similar manner, every _EN parameter enables the corresponding operation.

3.5.6.16 Substitute value
SUB_VALUE
The operator parameterizes the substitute value. The SUB_VALUE parameter is 2 bytes
long. The data contained are written to the soft starter via data set 131. If the Response to
CPU/master stop event occurs, the soft starter is switched to the substitute value
parameterized in SUB_VALUE or it retains the last value.
This activation is parameterized at the START_OFF parameter:

START_OFF = 1: Switch substitute value
START_OFF = 0: Retain the last value
The SUB_VALUE parameter can only be written to the OUT_01 output of the block, if
START_OFF = 0:
While a warm restart is performed on the CPU
A rack error is detected
A module error is detected
3.5.6.17 Active parameter sets
PS_SETACT
The process images of output bit PIQ 1.2 and PIQ 1.3 correspond to the settings that the
operator makes for the active parameter sets. These are based on the parameterization of
parameter PS_SETACT = 1, 2, or 3. The digits 1, 2, and 3 refer to the corresponding
parameter sets 1, 2, and 3.

PS_SETACT = 1 (Standard)

These data sets are based on the read authorization and/or write authorization. The
RDREC function is used to read the values and the WRREC function is used to write the
setting in the soft starter.
The Q_ENRDWR parameter indicates: The read function or write function is being executed.
Read function
Data sets are read with the following parameters:

RD_DATA = 1 : Operating parameters for reading values
L_RD_DATA = 1 : Linkable parameters for reading values.
EN_RDWR = 1
QERR_RD = 1 : Error when reading data sets.
The WRREC write function is supported in this case.
Write function
The WRREC function writes all values changed by the user to the device.
QERR_WR = 1 indicates errors when writing a data set.

Note:
To facilitate the symbolic interconnection of the block inputs and outputs IN_01 and OUT_01
with the inputs and outputs of the device, symbols can be created in the symbol table.
You can find the symbol table in the HW Config Options > Symbol Table.
The inputs and outputs for the device are created here. Since the addresses are available in
BOOL, and the blocks are interconnected with WORD, the data type must be stored
accordingly in the symbol table.

In this example, the symbols In01 and Out01 are assigned for the addresses IW 3 and QW 3
in data type WORD.

The symbolic designator in the symbol table of the library for the respective function block (FB). It must be unique within
the project.
2)
Composed of the block type, e.g., FB for function block and the number.
3)
Memory requirement of program code, once per block type
4)
Memory requirement for an instance data block.
5)
The memory required for the local data when the block is called in an execution level. This is limited according to the
specific CPU. If this amount is exceeded, you must check the setting in the CPU configuration and redistribute it among
the organization blocks based on the actual requirement.
6)
The relevant driver block uses these blocks. They are now located in the user program They are stored in the same
library.
