    Product Description Use of TP27 and By implementing the Touch Panels TP27 and TP37 operating statuses, current TP37 process values and faults in respect of a connected PLC can be graphically represented and the monitoring machine or system easily operated. This is made possible by using the Touch Panels which have of a number of standard functions for this purpose.
  • Page 15 Product Description Set up data areas Before commissioning, the Touch Panel must be prepared for the task of visualizing data from the PLC. This means that data areas must be created in the PLC memory in your configuration which are then used by the Touch Panel to communicate with the PLC.

    Status/Force Variable Using the TP Purpose The Touch Panels provide two functions, namely Status Variable and Force Variable, which enable operand values from the connected PLC to be dis- played in a standard screen and modified in a second screen. This means that PLC operands can be edited directly on the TP in online mode without having to connect a programming unit to the PLC to do it.

  • Page 209 System Messages Message Cause Remedy: Event message is not configured Configure event message (–> message num- ber) fully. Alarm message is not configured Configure alarm message (–> message number). Internal error Press key to restart. PLC co-ordination area not receivable during startup. If the fault is not corrected by performing a restart, please contact the SIMATIC Hot- line.
  • Page 210 System Messages Message Cause Remedy: Overload caused by too many variables (setpoints/actual Check the interface parameters. values). Fault in connection between the OP and PLC. Incorrect interface parameters configured. Configure fewer process links for the screen displayed. Configuration error: Correct the limits and retransfer configura- upper limit = lower limit tion.
  • Page 211 During startup, set the OP to download mode, downlaod the configuration again and then restart the OP and PLC again. c) If the fault recurs, please contact your nearest Siemens representative. When doing so, please quote the number of the error that has occurred and any variables referred to in the message.

  • Page 218 Glossary Alarm message Calls attention to high-priority operating states and has therefore to be ac- knowledged. Alarm time Time between the arrival and departure of an alarm message. Area pointer Required for data exchange between the TP and the PLC. It contains informa- tion concerning the length and size of data areas on the PLC.

Control Panel Option for Touch Panel with 16 (TP27–6) or 32 TP27–10/TP37) digital input/ Interface outputs for fast key input without any communication–based delay. Can be used with SIMATIC S/ and PROFIBUS–DP.

This operating mode is only possible when connection to the PLC is made via the AS511 protocol. Message log Printout of alarm messages and event messages simultaneously with their out- put to the display.
  • Page 221 Glossary Screen Form of displaying logically associated process data which may be shown col- lectively on the TP and modified individually. Selection field Field for the value setting of a parameter (one value can be selected as the de- fault value). Startup test Checks the state of the CPU and memories every time the power supply volt- age is turned on.
