 Introduction

1. Introduction
This application example for SIMATIC Control Function Library (CFL) implements majority of the blocks offered in CFL and
serves as the showcase for process control tasks. Part of the example is a simulation of the process values based on the
states of the control blocks directly within a PLC program. The application example can be used with SIMATIC MTP Creator
to generate a MTP file according to standard series VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658.

1.1. Overview
The application example project demonstrates the practical usage of CFL. It can serve as a demonstration of good practice
for a library implementation in TIA Portal engineering. It consists of a PLC program and a WinCC Unified screen. It is
possible to run the simulation with PLCSIM Advanced and WinCC Unified PC runtime. The application example shows the
implementation of a heated reactor demo, which is also used in VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658 part 2. The PLC program contains
blocks for process values simulation and an automatic program which runs in infinite loop.

1.2. Mode of operation

The CFL supports MTP export with the SIMATIC MTP Creator TIA portal AddIn. MTP is used for fast implementation of
modules into the process orchestration layer (e.g. SIMATIC MTP Integrator). The MTP concepts are standardized in
VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658. These standards use an example of a "Stirred Tank Reactor" which served as a template for the
demo project.

1.3. Components used

This application example has been created with the following hard- and software components:

 Description of the project

2. Description of the project

The project implements a S7-1500 PLC (PLC_1) and a WinCC Unified PC RT (HMI_RT_1) with an HMI created according to
the WinCC Unified Template Suite. The PLC serves as controller for all CFL blocks and as the monitored values simulator. It
could also provide an automatic program control loop which serves as a demonstration of automatic operation.

Device name Device type IP Address

PLC_1 SIMATIC CPU 1513-1 PN 192.168.0.2

HMI_RT_1 SIMATIC WinCC Unified PC 192.168.0.1

Between both devices the PROFINET connection PN/IE_1 is established.

2.1. CFL control modules

The following table lists all the CFL blocks implemented with the description of their process function in the demo. Each
control module is represented in the project by instance DB in the PLC program and symbolic faceplate on the HMI screen
(01_Demo).

2.2. PLC program structure

The PLC program is structured into the following groups.

2.2.1. 01_Main
The main [OB1] block calls only "Demo" [FB1] (with instance "InstDemo" [DB1]) that contains calls of all CFL blocks and
Simulation FBs. The "Configuration" [DB5] database contains all the configuration data for the CFL blocks. "HMIControl"
[DB2] provides an interface for additional tags exchanged with HMI screens. "PeaInformationLabel" [DB45] is a mandatory
DB to export the MTP file with SIMATIC MTP Creator, it contains basic information about PEA.
"ModuleTypePackageRevision" [DB65] is also a mandatory data block for MTP Creator, it contains the version number of
the MTP file.

2.2.2. 02_CFL
In the "02_LCFL" folder all the CFL instances and blocks from the library folder are stored.

Entry ID: 109814588 | V4.0 | 08/2024 © Siemens 2024 | 7

 Description of the project

2.2.3. 03_Simulation
The "03_Simulation" folder contains FBs for process values simulation and their instances, also where the complete
simulation program is stored.

2.2.4. 04_Program
The Function blocks in "04_Program" folder contains FBs with a sequence of automatic procedures that can be triggered
from HMI screen.

2.2.5. 05_ProDiag
The "05_ProDiag" folder contains a function block "ProDiagFB" [FB2] (with instance "InstProDiag" [DB4]), and an
organization block "ProDiagOB" [OB250] for ProDiag alarm management.

2.3. WinCC Unified Screens

The demo for WinCC Unified uses the WinCC Unified Template Suite structure. Complete monitoring is implemented on
the screen "10_Application". This screen contains a process visualization of the "Stirred Tank Reactor". The CFL function
blocks in the PLC program are connected to the symbolic faceplates.
All connections to CFL block instances are defined in the HMI Tag table "Demo". Alarm management is implemented using
the ProDiag functionality.

 Description of the project

2.4. Simulation Program Concept

The goal of the 03_Simulation FBs is to simulate real process behavior based on states of the control modules and internal
states of the Heater and Reactor. These states are influenced, for example, by switching of valve positions, turning on/off
drive, or changing input values.

2.4.1. Opening locks and layers

To simplify the switch of all control modules into manual control of the blocks, directly after the PLC initiation, buttons for
unlocking all locks and setting correct OS layer for all the blocks were implemented and their logic is programmed in
"OpeningLocksAndSettingLayers" [FB5].

2.4.2. Values simulation

All simulation calculations of the monitored values are performed by the "PVSimulation01" [FB3] and "PVSimulation02"
[FB10] blocks, which are executed every cycle in "Demo" [FB1].
All the CFL instances blocks used in the demo are connected to the instances of those FBs. "PVsimulation01" and
"PVSimulation02" are called in the Demo function in the network called Simulation. Each FB is divided into a few regions.

 Description of the project

2.5. Automatic program description

The program in this demo does not includes MTP file exporting according to VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658 part 4. Therefore, it
cannot be classified as a MTP service. The program function blocks in this project are executed in an infinite loop while
the START PROGRAM button is pressed in HMI. The execution stops only when STOP PROGRAM button is pressed in HMI.
The program itself is divided into three FBs. Function code for initiation and termination of the program (START PROGRAM
and STOP PROGRAM) is in "ProgramInitiation&Termination" [FB4], Function logic for Heater and Reactor program is in
"HeaterAutomationProgram" [FB7] and "ReactorAutomationProgram" [FB8]. All the code in each function block is also
divided into a few regions.

2.5.1. PID control of pump M0013

This region ensures transition of process value and manipulated value into and out of PID01 block.

2.5.2. PID control of analogue valve Y0003

This region ensures transition of process value and manipulated value into and out of PID02 block.

2.5.3. Program initiation and termination

This region ensures setting up state and source channels for all the control modules. When the program is started, the
state channels are set to Automatic and source channels to Internal. When the program is stopped the "stateAutomatic" is
set to false as well as "sourceInternal".

2.5.4. Filling and emptying of the tank BA001

This region ensures cyclical change of tank BA001 state as well as subsequent opening ang closing of valves. M0014 is set
to running state during emptying state of BA001. Setpoint for PID01 process value F0016 is changes dynamically in
dependence of current state of BA001. During emptying, M0013 is running and during filling the pump is in stop mode.

2.5.5. Heating and cooling of the BA000

In this region of the FB Program, the handling of heater BA000 statuses cycle is done. It operates independently to
previous region. There are 3 automated statuses: Fast heating, Slow heating and Cooling. The program control status of
following control modules: BinBA000, AB001 and AB002. The input of AnaBA000 is also controlled by this function when
program is running.
