Introduction
The application describes how to integrate an HMI Operator Panel into an
existing office/automation network.
In Section 1.2, the individual configurations are graphically represented and
described in detail.
In Section 4, the engineering for the individual configurations is described.
Note For a better understanding of the solutions presented in Section 4, you should
first familiarize yourself with the fundamentals in Section 3.
General overview of the automation task

The following figure provides a general overview of the automation task.

Description of the automation task

SIMATIC HMI Operator Panels offer the option of archiving process values and
generating logs/reports.
The aim is to avoid archiving this production data locally on the individual Panels,
but instead centrally on one or more PCs.
Furthermore, the logs should be printable directly via a standard printer.
The HMI Operator Panels and the PCs/printers are connected via an Ethernet
network.
The application example uses four typical configurations to show how you can
implement this and which settings are required in each case.
Please refer to the following section for details on how the networks are
structured.

1.2.1 Configuration 1: Standard network
Figure 1-2
PC 1 PC 2 Printer
Network
File storage on PC1 File storage on PC2 Print data
Panel x PLC
There is one common Ethernet network through which all stations are connected to
each other.
Each station in the network is assigned a fixed (static) IP address.
The production data can be stored on a maximum of two PCs.
Logs are printed out via the network on a network-compatible standard printer.
The implementation of this configuration is described in Section 4.1.
Advantages
• Simpler configuration.
• All stations are in the same network.
• Simple configuration of the network stations.
Disadvantages
• Spatial dispersion restricted.
• Maximum access to 2 PCs.

There are two Ethernet networks.

• Office network (Ethernet network in the office environment).
• Factory network (Ethernet network in the production facility).
Both networks are connected via a router.
Each station in the network is assigned a fixed (static) IP address.
The production data can be stored on a maximum of two PCs.
Logs are printed out via the network on a network-compatible standard printer.
Advantages
• Networks are separated by the router.
• Station separated into "Office" and "Factory".
• Simple configuration of the network stations.
• Differentiated access protection possible (protection via sharing properties).
Disadvantages
• Maximum access to 2 PCs.

1.2.3 Configuration 3: WINS Server
Figure 1-4
PC 1 PC 2 Printer WINS-Server
Office-Network
Router
Factory-Network
Panel x PLC
The structure of "Configuration 3" is similar to "Configuration 2".

The difference is that in "Configuration 3", a "WINS Server" is used.
The WINS Server is used to resolve the names of the PCs assigned to the WINS
Server. Through this functionality, for example, more than two PCs can be
specified for archiving production data.
Note Due to the WINS Server in the "Office network", the IP addresses of the PCs
(except those from the WINS Server) do not necessarily have to be statically
specified, provided that the new IP addresses are adapted in the WINS Server.
Advantages
• Changing the IP address from the PC has no effect on the Panel settings.
• Via the WINS server, access to the individual PCs is possible using the
computer name. (The Panels can resolve the PC names via the WINS Server.)
• Stations are separated into "Office" and "Factory".
Disadvantages
• Static IP address.
• Basic knowledge about the configuration of a WINS Server is required.

The structure of "Configuration 4" is similar to "Configuration 3".

The difference is that in "Configuration 4". a "Server Operating System" is used,
which has an integrated "DNS Server" and "WINS Server".
In the "Office network", IP addresses are automatically (dynamically)
assigned to the individual PCs via a DHCP Server (not shown in the image).
The stations (PCs) in the "Office network" do not have static IP addresses. The IP
addresses are dynamically assigned to the PCs. The name resolution is done via
the DNS or WINS Server.
Advantages
• No static IP addresses for the PCs in the "Office network".
• Central administration of the PCs possible.
• WINS Server supports name resolution for communication between Panel and
PC.
• Stations separated between "Office" and "Factory".

3.5 Customizing Login Data

Store PC login data on the Panel
For example, in order to archive a tag archive from a Panel directly to a PC, a drive
or folder must be shared on that PC. The process for sharing a drive/folder is
described in Section 3.2.
If a user's login data is stored on the PC (user/password), the following login dialog
appears after starting the Panel Runtime.
Figure 3-1
To avoid having to enter the user data after each "reboot" of the Panel (Panel has
been switched off and on again), you can permanently store the login data on the
Operator Panels.

3.7 Notes about the Windows 10 Operating System

SIMATIC Operator Panels with Windows CE operating system use the "SMB
protocol" for file access to shared folders.
As of Windows 10, version 1709, the "SMB v1.0 protocol" has been deactivated on
the PCs by default.
This measure prevents Operator Panels that use the "SMB protocol" from
accessing shared folders.
See the Microsoft support pages for detailed information about this action.
https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows-server/storage/file-
server/troubleshoot/smbv1-not-installed-by-default-in-windows
Remedy
To continue accessing the shared file folders on a PC, you have the following
options.
1. SIMATIC HMI Option+ Manager (recommended)

With the "SIMATIC HMI Option+ Manager", you can manage your Operator Panels
under a uniform user interface and, for example, exchange data between the
Operator Panel and a PC. Please refer to Section 5.
2. Enabling "SMB v1.0 protocol" (not recommended)

Microsoft has fixed a security vulnerability for the Windows 10 operating system by
disabling the "SMB v1.0 protocol", among other things.
You can manually reverse this action and re-enable the SMB v1.0 protocol, but
doing so creates a security vulnerability.
Enable SMB v1.0 protocol

The following section shows you how to reactivate the "SMB v1.0 protocol" under
Windows 10 in order to be able to again access a folder shared by the PC with the
Operator Panel.
CAUTION Enabling the "SMB v1.0 protocol" in Windows creates a potential security
vulnerability in your system.
Before you re-enable the "SMB v1.0 protocol", please refer to the Microsoft
support pages to find out what effects enabling the "SMB v1.0 protocol"
may have on your installation.

4.3 Configuration 3
Short description
Configuration 3 uses a WINS Server that creates a static IP address.
Note The process for configuring a WINS Server is not part of this documentation. For
more information, please refer to the technical literature.
When a "WINS client" is started (e.g., PC1), this PC reports its IP address and
computer name to the WINS Server. The WINS Server enters this information into
a database.
The image shows a section of the WINS Server configuration database.
Figure 4-3
When the Panel Runtime is started, the Panel sends a "request" to the
WINS Server. The WINS Server searches its database for the requested
"computer name" and forwards the "request" to the IP address that is stored next to
the computer name.
In the HMI configuration, for example, the path specification for the archives does
not include the
IP address, but instead the computer name.

5 Data exchange with the HMI Option+ Manager
5.1 Project Description
5 Data exchange with the HMI Option+

Manager
SIMATIC HMI Option+ Manager is, among other things, software for the central
management of Operator Panel data. The software runs on a PC which is
connected to the Operator Panels via a network connection.
The web server functionality of the SIMATIC HMI Panel is used for data exchange.
Data can be written to Operator Panels as well as read from them.
Detailed information, as well as a description, can be found under the following link
\10\.

The application example is accompanied by an example configuration. The project
contains two configurations of a TP1200 Comfort Panel.
• Configuration 1: CircularLogFile
(Application, in connection with a circular archive)
• Configuration 2: SegmentedLogFile
(Application, in conjunction with a segmented circular archive).
Figure 5-1
The configuration contains all necessary objects such as a curve display, tag
archives, scripts, etc.
The following description shows how, in conjunction with the SIMATIC HMI
Option+ Manager, you can
• store/save a tag archive created on an Operator Panel on a PC.
• write a tag archive stored on a PC back to the Panel.

Entry ID: 92346478 , V2.0, 03/2021 71
Functional description
The tag archives are initially stored on an SD memory card on the Operator Panel.
The configured SIMATIC HMI Option+ Manager then continuously transfers the
data from the SD memory card to a
PC drive.
In an additional step, the tag archives stored on the PC are transferred back to the
Operator Panel.
Figure 5-2

PC
D:\DriveArchives HMI Option+ Manager
Note After the SIMATIC HMI Option+ Manager has transferred the tag archives from
the Operator Panel to the PC, they are automatically deleted from the SD
memory card.
The same applies to the reverse case. When the data has been transferred from
the PC back to the Operator Panel, the data on the PC is deleted.
The following instructions describe a solution if "deleting" the original files is not
desired.
Note The description refers to configuration 2, "SegmentedLogFile" (an application, in

connection with a segmented circular archive).
Open the enclosed configuration for a better understanding of the following
project description.

Entry ID: 92346478 , V2.0, 03/2021 72
5.1.1 Transfer Data from the Operator Panel to a PC
Requirement
You have created a segmented tag archive (10 segments) with the name
"100_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrg". The tag archive contains two process tags
that are archived once per second.
1. Create a folder named "101_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrgDownload" on the

SD memory card of the Operator Panel.
Note: The folder "100_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrg" is the segmented tag
archive and is automatically created by the system when Runtime is started.
Figure 5-3
2. Open the Task Scheduler in the configuration.

a. Create a new task (CopyData_SegmentedLog).

b. Select "1 minute" as the trigger.
c. Under "Properties > Events", assign the script "Script_SegmentedLog" to
the task.
Note: The script is called once per minute via the Task Scheduler.
The script copies the content from the folder "100_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrg"
to the folder "101_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrgDownload".
Information about the script can be found in Section 5.4.1, Scripts.
Figure 5-4

Entry ID: 92346478 , V2.0, 03/2021 73
3. Create the following directory and folder on the PC.

"D:\00_Manager\01_SegmentedLog_DataOrg"
Figure 5-5
Note: The configured "SIMATIC HMI Option+ Manager" accesses the folder from
the Operator Panel "101_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrgDownload" and transfers
the data to the PC in the folder "01_SegmentedLog_DataOrg".
The required configuration of the "SIMATIC HMI Option+ Manager" is described in
Section 5.3.
The tag archive is now located on the PC in the folder

“01_SegmentedLog_DataOrg " and can be evaluated, saved, or further processed
there.

To ensure that the "original" data of the tag archive is not overwritten when the
data is read back from the PC, a second tag archive is required.
1. Create a second tag archive with the same properties as the "original" tag
archive.
a. Create a copy of the existing tag archive
"100_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrg" (1) and rename the copied tag
archive to "102_SegmentedLog_PanelDataCopy" (2) (Ps011).
b. Adjust the process tags in the copied tag archive (3).
With reference to the example, you must create two new process tags.
Figure 5-7

2. Create the three folders on the SD memory card from the Operator Panel.
a. "101_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrgDownload".
In the folder, there is a copy of the tag archive
"100_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrg" (Ps003).
b. "103_SegmentedLog_PanelDataCopyDownload".
In the folder there is a copy of the second tag archive
"102_SegmentedLog_PanelDatacopy" (Ps013).
c. "104_SegmentedLog_PanelDataCopyUpload".
The tag archive that is transferred from the PC back to the Operator Panel
is then located in this folder (Ps016).
Note: The folders "100_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrg" (Ps002) and
"102_SegmentedLog_PanelDataCopy" (Ps012) are created automatically by the
system.
Figure 5-8

Entry ID: 92346478 , V2.0, 03/2021 76
3. Open the Task Scheduler in the configuration. A task with the name
"CopyData_SegmentedLog" should already be stored here (see Section 5.1.1.
Should this not be the case,
a. create a new task.
b. select "1 minute" as the trigger.
c. under the "Properties > Events" assign the script "Script_SegmentedLog"
to the task.
Note: The script is called once per minute via the Task Scheduler. The script
copies the contents of the folder
• "100_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrg" to the folder
"101_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrgDownload" (Ps002 - Ps003).
• "102_SegmentedLog_PanelDataCopy" to the folder
"103_SegmentedLog_PanelDataCopyDownload" (Ps012 - Ps013).
Further information about the script can be found in the Section 5.4.1.
4. Create the following directories and folders on the PC.

a. "D:\00_Manager\01_SegmentedLog_DataOrg" (Ps004).
b. "D:\00_Manager\02_SegmentedLog_DataCopy" (Ps014).
c. "D:\00_Manager\03_SegmentedLog_UploadCopyData" (Ps015).
Figure 5-9
Note: The configured "SIMATIC HMI Option+ Manager" accesses the following two
folders from the Operator Panel and transfers the data to the PC.
• The data from the folder "101_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrgDownload" is
transferred to the PC folder "01_SegmentedLog_DataOrg" (Ps003 - Ps004).
• The data from the folder "103_SegmentedLog_PanelDataCopyDownload" is
transferred to the PC folder "02_SegmentedLog_DataCopy"
(Ps013 - Ps014).
Note: The data of the tag archive in the PC folder "01_SegmentedLog_DataOrg"
can now be evaluated, saved, or further processed.
Section 5.3.

Entry ID: 92346478 , V2.0, 03/2021 77
5. Transfer the data of the tag archive back to the Operator Panel.
Note: To prevent the "SIMATIC HMI Option+ Manager" from accessing the PC
folder "02_SegmentedLog_DataCopy" in a "reading" and "writing" manner at
the same time, the data of the PC folder "02_SegmentedLog_DataCopy" is
copied to the PC folder "03_SegmentedLog_UploadCopyData"
(Ps014 - Ps015).
a. Create the following directory and folder on the PC.
"D:\00_VBS_TaskScheduler".
Figure 5-10
b. Place the CopyArchiveFolder.vbs script in this folder.

The script is part of the enclosed configuration.
c. Call the "CopyArchiveFolder.vbs" script via the
Windows Task Scheduler every 5 minutes.
The configuration of the "Windows Task Scheduler" is described in Section 5.4.3.
6. The configured SIMATIC HMI Option+ Manager accesses the PC folder

"03_SegmentedLog_UploadCopyData " and transfers the data back to the
Operator Panel in the folder "104_SegmentedLog_PanelDataCopyUpload"
(Ps015- Ps016).
Section 5.3.
7. As a last step, the content of the folder

"104_SegmentedLog_PanelDataCopyUpload" is copied to the folder
"102_SegmentedLog_PanelDataCopy" by the script "Script_SegmentedLog"
(Ps016- Ps011). The script is called once per minute by the Operator Panel via
the "CopyData_SegmentedLog" Task Scheduler.

5.4 Info and Further Explanation of the Configuration
The following figure shows the fully configured SIMATIC HMI Option+ Manager. In
the "Download Process" field (1), you can see whether the function is being
executed.
Figure 5-16
Note The process for the enclosed 1st configuration "CircularLogFile" (an
application, in connection with a circular archive) is functionally similar to that of
the 2nd configuration.

5.4.1 "Script_SegmentedDataLog" Script
The example described is a tag archive that uses a segmented circular archive as
the archiving method.
The script reads the individual files of the tag archive and writes it to a new folder.
To do this, the individual file names must be read out and rewritten. Depending on
the number of circular archives ("elements"), the individual numberings are
adapted to the name via the tag "index".
=> 100_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrg"& index &".csv"
The names of the individual archive files are composed as follows
• 100_SegmentedLog_PanelDataOrg0.csv"
• etc.
The script is executed via the Task Scheduler on the Operator Panel.
5.4.2 "CopyArchiveFolder.vbs" Script
The script runs on the Windows PC and is used to copy data from one folder to
another. In this application example, the folder contents are copied from
"D:\00_Manager\02_SegmentedLog_DataCopy" to
"D:\00_Manager\03_SegmentedLog_UploadCopyData".
The script is executed via the Task Scheduler of the Windows PC. The script is
part of the project file.

6 Troubleshooting Tips and Help
6.1 Network Connection

6.1 Network Connection
• Are all network stations properly networked?
• Are all network stations switched on?
• Check the network configuration. The settings regarding the network
configuration differ greatly depending on the set configuration.
• When using a router, ensure that you have used the correct "default gateway
address" for the network station in each case.
• Check the individual connections to see if you can "ping" them.
• Check the path stored for the archives in the HMI configuration.
– Is the computer name correct?
– Is the share name correct?
• Settings on the PC
– Did you check the computer name used?
– Is a drive/folder shared?
– Check the share name used?
• Open the Windows Explorer on the Panel. In the address line, enter the path
that you also stored for the archives. The selected PC must be accessible this
way.
• Check whether the PCs can be reached by each other.
6.2 Archive
• Check the path specification in the HMI configuration.
– \\ComputerName\ShareName\FileFolder
Note
The file folder must exist.
• Is the computer on which the archives are stored switched on?
• ~Ensure that the computer on which the archives are stored is switched on and
booted before starting the Panel Runtime.
• Check the network configuration on the Panel.
– Settings under "Default Gateway".
– Settings under "Primary WINS".
– Settings under "Secondary WINS".
• Check the system messages on the Panel.

Entry ID: 92346478 , V2.0, 03/2021 89
6.3 Miscellaneous
6.3 Miscellaneous
Switch
If a router and a configurable switch are used, ensure that the corresponding router
address is also specified during the network configuration of the
switch → gateway address.
Printers
If there is a router between the network connection of the Panel and the printer,
ensure that the corresponding router address is specified in the network
configuration of the printer → gateway address.
Login dialog (Panel)

You can store archives on different PCs, depending on the network constellation.
When starting the Panel Runtime, a login dialog appears.
The time between logon dialogs can vary.
Login dialog does not appear (Panel)

If you change existing login data frequently, the login dialog or automatic login may
no longer work (the new login data is not recognized). In this case, you must
update the operating system (a factory reset is not necessary).
Curve archive
If you use a curve archive, take into account that the initialization of the archives
can take several seconds.
DHCP server
If the IP addresses are assigned to the PCs via a DHCP server, then these
addresses only become effective after a restart of the respective PC.
Note that restarting the PC interrupts an existing connection to an Operator Panel
(archiving). This is especially important if you want to archive data for a period
longer than 24 hours.

Entry ID: 92346478 , V2.0, 03/2021 90
6.3 Miscellaneous
Starting the archives

Configure one button each with the following system function on one screen.
– Button 1: Press > StopArchiving
– Button 2 Press > OpenAllArchives
– Release > StartArchiving
Background
For archiving the data, it is important that the PC on which the data is to be stored
is fully booted before the Panel Runtime is started.
If the Panel Runtime has been started before, then archiving must be started
manually on the Panel.
The same is the case if the network connection between the Panel and the PC has
been interrupted. After the network connection has been re-established, archiving
must be restarted manually on the Panel.
Procedure
• First press "Button 1"
• Then press "Button 2"
Temporary loss/failure of the network resource

If the Panel tries to write archives to a non-existent network resource, a
"CloseAllArchives" and "OpenAllArchives" must be performed after the network
resource is brought back online (reinitializes)
