Hello Avatar; Connecting a S7-300 to a SCADA system is generally quite simple, especially if you are using a Suemens product such a WinCC. But I have worked with SCADA from other manufacturers such as Citect, Wonderware, IFix... all without much trouble. You need a working S7-300 CPU, a programmed SCADA package, a network connection between the two... BUT: Designing a Safety program (such as a press)is not done in the SCADA/HMI system (runtime PC or operator panel). It requires a Safety PLC (F-CPU), F-I/O, a configuring Safety software (Distributed Safety, for example) and F-blocks provided by the Safety software. Once the F-CPU is programmed to control your process safely (as a SIL 3 system, for example) then you can use your SCADA to allow the operator to monitor and control the safety functions and the process programmed in the PLC. For a basic presentation of Distributed Safety, start by looking at this Siemens site: Note on the bottom of the right column of the website you will find a section called More Information, which has examples of burner technology and a Press function library based on Distributed Safety, this should interest you. For more information, you should study the following manual: SIMATIC Industrial Software S7 Distributed Safety - configuring and programming https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/us/en/view/22099875 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
