1. Automation function

1.1 Description of the functionality

A positioning task is implemented in the function example described here. A POSMO A (400W)
is used as drive system. This is directly connected to a linear axis (spindle).
The drive is controlled using a Simatic S7. The functions can be controlled using an HMI Touch
Panel TP 270. PROFIBUS DP is used to establish the communications between the individual
components.
The SimoCom A software tool is used to configure the POSMO A.

The following functions have been implemented.

1. Set reference point

2. Jog, up (jog 1)
3. Jog, down (jog 2)
4. MDI (Manual Data Input) incremental mode, absolute
5. Read actual value

In order to implement these functions in Simatic S7, the function blocks of SIMODRIVE POSMO
A Version 1.5 were used.
FB10 "Control Posmo A" for the functions 1 to 4 and FB11 "Parameterize Posmo A" for function
5.

The Touch Panel TP 270 is used as operator interface (HMI). It is used to control and monitor
the POSMO A.

1.2 Steps to be executed

The following steps should be executed for the implementation.

1.2.1 Implement the structure (as described in the Equipment Manual)

Ø Set the PROFIBUS addresses at Posmo
Ø Connect the 48 V supply
Ø Establish and set the appropriate PROFIBUS cabling

1.2.2 Parameterizing POSMO A

Ø Call SimoCom A and the parameterization of POSMO A
Ø Test the drive via the control panel with SimComA

1.2.3 Step 7 program
Ø De-archive the project example "S7_Posmo_A_example"
Ø Load HW Config as well as the S7 program in the CPU
Ø Program test

1.2.4 Visualization with WinCC Flexible

Ø Call WinCC flexible (standalone) and download the project "PosmoA" in the panel.
Ø Note: The HMI project is not integrated in Step 7

2 Program functions with Step 7

The program includes the blocks FB10 "Control Posmo A" for functions 1 to 4 and FB11
"Parameterize Posmo A".
After installing the Posmo A Library in Step 7, the description of the blocks is saved under the
program group SIMATIC in S7_Manuals as PDF file PosmoA_Library.
The blocks are called via OB1 in the FC1.
The individual functions are described in the blocks under the network comments.
The following operands and symbols have been used

Always off M 0.0 BOOL RLO 0

Always on M 0.1 BOOL RLO 1
Error M 20.0 BOOL Error, Posmo
Referencing M 20.1 BOOL Start referencing
Drive moving M 20.2 BOOL Feedback signal, drive
moving
Acknowledge M 20.4 BOOL Acknowledge error
Coordination M 20.5 BOOL Coordination bit memory
Jog_down M 21.0 BOOL Jog, down
Jog_up M 21.1 BOOL Jog, up
Start Posmo M 21.2 BOOL Start Posmo A
Actual value panel MD 102 DWORD Actual value display at the
panel
Setpoint Posmo MVV 100 WORD Setpoint input

Memory bits have been defined as HMI interface; these were configured as variables in the HMI
project with WinCC Flexible.

3. HMI visualization TP 270
A Touch Panel TP 270 has been used for visualization purposes. It comprises a screen with the
operator interface used to control and monitor POSMO A.
The project can also be easily converted to other panels.

4. Notes
This example involves 3 separate projects:
1. SimoCom A project
2. Simatic Step 7 project
3. WinCC flexible project

It is possible to combine all of the projects to form a TIA project under the Step 7 Manager.
For the drive side, Drive ES Basic is required and for WinCC Flexible, the integration in Step 7
has to be activated.
