Testing functions with internal and process tags.

Process tags can only be simulated if the communication
connection to the PLC has been made. Since the tag value in
the PLC can be changed by the simulation, you have to
take the necessary precautions (such as separating the load
current circuits).

Making things dynamic with

Performance high -Properties
>tag connection
>faster dynamic dialog with tag trigger and a tag that is assigned parameters
>slower dynamic dialog with tag trigger and several tags that are assigned parameters or
C-actions that are called (Global Script Function)
Performance low >C-actions, VBS actions
-Event
>a mouse click or object change (C-action or direct connection) has no effect on the
picture selection time

Type of Update
-tag trigger (use the same cycle for all tags)
-select a uniform update of a picture
-avoid using Change

Functions
-SetTagMultiWait for several tags is better than many SetTagxxx
-GetTagxxx ( tag is cyclically introduced to the data manager) ,SetTagxxx

Providing PLC Data

-For optimized communication, the data areas of the PLC are to be supplied for specific
pictures.

 Configuration Notes

Bit Message Procedure “Reporting in the Correct Chronological Order“

- WinCC polls the message bits every 500ms + message telegrams are only sent when events occur
+ exact time-stamp for messages
+ easy to configure (length of the CPU cycle; e.g. 50ms)
- with PMC “central acknowledgement“ without
- “central acknowledgement“ through additional work
acknowledgement tags - S5-PMC: higher capital expenditure (PMC channel;
PMCPRO and special FBs)

- S5-PMC: higher CPU scan cycle time and higher

memory usage

+ Advantage with S5 communication: S5-PMC

does ‘Blocking‘

+ S7 blocks integrated in the operating system
