Fundamental safety instructions 1
1.1 General safety instructions
DANGER
Danger to life due to live parts and other energy sources
Death or serious injury can result when live parts are touched.
● Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified for this job.
● Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, six steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for shutdown and notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.
2. Disconnect the machine from the supply.
– Switch off the machine.
– Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.
– Check that it really is in a no-voltage condition, from phase conductor to phase
conductor and phase conductor to protective conductor.
– Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are de-energized.
– Ensure that the motors cannot move.
3. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems, or
water.
4. Isolate or neutralize all hazardous energy sources by closing switches, grounding or short-
circuiting or closing valves, for example.
5. Secure the energy sources against switching on again.
6. Ensure that the correct machine is completely interlocked.
After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness in the inverse sequence.
WARNING
Danger to life from hazardous voltage when connecting an unsuitable power supply
Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
● Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV
(Protective Extra Low Voltage) output voltages for all connections and terminals of the
electronics modules.

Fundamental safety instructions
WARNING
Danger to life from touching live parts on damaged devices
Improper handling of devices can result in damage.

Overview 2
2.1 Comfort Panels with SIMOTION SCOUT
Inter Project Engineering (IPE) in the TIA Portal

The TIA Portal makes it possible to carry out the technological and HMI configuration in various
projects. For example, one processor can carry out the HMI configuration and a second
processor can carry out the technological configuration. In the TIA Portal, this working method
is called "Inter Project Engineering".
Note
The "Device Proxy" functionality in the TIA Portal can only be used for SIMOTION when
SIMOTION SCOUT TIA V4.4 has been installed.
Using Comfort Panels with SIMOTION SCOUT

Inter Project Engineering is primarily used with SIMOTION to make flexible HMI panels
available for SIMOTION SCOUT, SIMATIC STEP 7 V5 and WinCC,which can only be
configured in the TIA Portal.
The following application scenarios are relevant to SIMOTION SCOUT:
● Migration of an existing HMI configuration from a SIMOTION SCOUT project.
● Use of panels in SIMOTION SCOUT/WinCC flexible that can only be configured via the
TIA Portal, e.g. Comfort Panels.
For this purpose you configure a device proxy in the TIA Portal with which you connect the
Comfort Panel for the HMI visualization. The device proxy is a proxy object in the TIA Portal
for devices that are not part of the TIA project. Through initialization of the device proxy, the
configuration of the SIMOTION controller is simulated in the TIA Portal.
Distributed working with SIMOTION SCOUT TIA

It is also possible to carry out the technological and HMI configuration in various projects for
SIMOTION SCOUT TIA via a device proxy.
Procedure for using Comfort Panels with SIMOTION SCOUT

The following steps must be performed in the TIA Portal for the editing:
1. Create a project in the TIA Portal
2. Create a device proxy.

Overview
2.1 Comfort Panels with SIMOTION SCOUT
3. Initialize the device proxy, see also Create a device proxy and initialize via a project file
(Page 23)
The project file of the source project must be available and suitable.
4. Create an HMI Panel and establish a connection to the device proxy, see also Configuring
Comfort Panels in a SIMOTION SCOUT project (Page 38).
5. Interconnect the HMI tags.
Procedure for "Distributed working with SIMOTION SCOUT TIA"

A controller with the technological configuration is already present.
The following steps must be performed in the TIA Portal for the editing:
1. Create the device proxy data in the TIA Portal.
2. Export the settings in the TIA Portal as an IPE file, see also Creating and configuring device
proxy data (Page 29).
In order to create the HMI visualization in a separate project, the following steps must be carried
out:
1. Create a project in the TIA Portal
2. Create a device proxy.
3. Initialize the device proxy with the exported IPE file, see also Initialize a device proxy via
an IPE file (Page 30)
The IPE file of the source project must be available and suitable.
4. Create the HMI Panel and establish a connection to the device proxy.
5. Interconnect the HMI tags.

Overview
2.2 Basics of Inter Project Engineering (IPE)/device proxy
Introduction to Inter Project Engineering (IPE)

The functionality of Inter Project Engineering, hereinafter referred to as IPE, is used to extract
the HMI data in a source project to exchange it using a device proxy. You can then transfer
this data to other projects, for visualization in HMI, for example, and use it there for further
configuration.
You can exchange the following PLC data between projects via the device proxy for SIMOTION
SCOUT:
● Variables
● Messages
The following data is automatically included in the exchange:
● Controller communication interfaces
● Configured communication processors and communication modules
This automatic data exchange ensures that the interfaces and the configured communication
are transferred along with the data you selected. This data is required to allow you to continue
working consistently and without problems in your target project.
Cross-project data exchange

The following options are available for cross-project data exchange with Inter Project
Engineering:
● Exchanging PLC data via a project file
– for data from SIMOTION SCOUT; the project file may contain several controllers.
● Exchanging PLC data via an IPE file
– for data from TIA Portal projects V13 or higher; an IPE file must also be generated for
each controller.

Overview
Exchanging PLC data via a project file

The PLC data from the source project is transferred to the PLC in the target project via a
SIMOTION project file (*.mcp).
You can transfer data from STEP7/SIMOTION SCOUT projects that are not integrated in the
TIA Portal relating to the HMI visualization conveniently into your current TIA Portal projects
and continue to use it there.

4.1 SIMOTION SCOUT data
Data for the device proxy

With the initialization, the device proxy accepts the data set present in the project file:
● System variables
● Config data
● Global variables
● Message configuration
The device proxy accepts the message configuration of the source. When you create a
new message, you must update the device proxy accordingly.
TO alarms are also synchronized and created in the TIA Portal.
Alarm_S messages are created only when they are used in the source project via a
message call in a program. If you use the Alarm_S messages only after the initialization,
you must update the device proxy.
● Communication configuration
During the initialization, the settings for the communication interfaces are transferred
automatically (e.g. IP address, subnet mask). If you change the settings in the source
project, you must update the device proxy.

SIMOTION SCOUT with Comfort Panels
4.2 Using Comfort Panels with SIMOTION SCOUT
Using HMI panels

The device proxy is intended for applications in which the automation is still to be configured
with SIMOTION SCOUT but the HMI connection made via the TIA Portal.
This is the case, for example, when functions are used in the project that are not available in
the TIA Portal (e.g. SIMOTION Drive Control Chart, DCC) and on the other hand HMI panels
are being used that are only available in the TIA Portal.
In this case, the automation project remains in SIMOTION SCOUT and only the HMI
configuration is carried out in the TIA Portal.
See Requirements for Inter Project Engineering (IPE) / device proxy (Page 22) for an overview
of the software requirements.
Note
Comfort Panels are available only for WinCC Comfort, WinCC Advanced and WinCC
Professional V13 or higher.
This may result in the following application scenarios:

● You are setting up a new project in SIMOTION SCOUT and using the TIA Portal for HMI
configuration.
● You already have a project and would like to reconfigure an HMI in the TIA Portal.
● You already have a project with an HMI configuration and would like to switch to a Comfort
Panel.
You generally proceed as follows:
● Configure the SIMOTION components in SIMOTION SCOUT.
● Configure the HMI in the TIA Portal.
● For the SIMOTION part, perform a download from SIMOTION SCOUT.
● For visualization in HMI, perform the download from the TIA Portal.

4.3 Configuring Comfort Panels in a SIMOTION SCOUT project
Integrating a Comfort Panel via a device proxy

If you use Comfort Panels, you require a connection between the TIA Portal and SIMOTION
SCOUT.
If you use an older project, you must first upgrade it to SIMOTION SCOUT V4.4.
Note
PROFIBUS interfaces
Three PROFIBUS interfaces are shown in the network view and device view for SIMOTION
D4xx devices, although there are only two interfaces on the devices. The third interface
symbolizes the PROFIBUS Integrated. Open the device overview to find out which icon
represents the PROFIBUS Integrated interface.
To configure an HMI Panel, proceed as follows:

1. Create a project in SIMOTION SCOUT and add the modules that you need.
2. Configure the communication and the technology.
– If you have not fully configured the project, you can update the device proxy at a later
date (see also Updating a device proxy via a project file (Page 27))
3. Save and compile the project.
4. Open the TIA Portal (as of V13).
5. Create a project and insert a device proxy.
6. Initialize the device proxy using a project file (see also Create a device proxy and initialize
via a project file (Page 23)).
7. To do that, in the device view right-click the device proxy and execute "Initialize device
proxy".
The "Open data source for device proxy" dialog box opens.
8. Select "SIMOTION Project" as the filter for the data source.
9. In the file system, navigate to your project and select the project file.
10.Apply the setting with "Open."

Result
The device proxy has now been initialized with the settings of the SIMOTION module.
Figure 4-2 Device proxy initialized
Inserting and connecting HMI

Once you have initialized the device proxy, add the HMI and configure the connection.
1. Change to the network view.
2. Select a Comfort Panel in the hardware catalog ("HMI > SIMATIC Comfort Panels").
3. Drag the Comfort Panel into net view.

4. Configure the communication between device proxy and HMI panel in the same way as
the SIMOTION SCOUT project:
– Use the same interfaces and ports (PROFINET only) for the network connection with
PROFIBUS or PROFINET as in SIMOTION SCOUT.
5. Change the net view from "interconnect" to "connections", select the "HMI connection" entry
in the drop-down list and drag a connection from the device proxy to the HMI panel.
The connection is created.
Figure 4-3 Device proxy HMI connection
This connection is an integrated connection and like the connections with SIMOTION devices,
it cannot be edited in the WinCC connection editor.
Download
1. Carry out the additional configuration in SIMOTION SCOUT and in the TIA Portal.
2. Load the SIMOTION configuration from SIMOTION SCOUT into the controller.
3. Load the HMI configuration from the TIA Portal into the Comfort Panel.

4.4 Project with integrated WinCC flexible HMI configuration
Migrating a Classic HMI configuration

If you have a project that contains an HMI configuration, you can migrate this HMI project from
WinCC flexible to the TIA Portal. To do this, you must extract the integrated HMI configuration
from the SIMOTION SCOUT V4.4 project. This migration can also be used to switch from a
panel to a Comfort Panel.
You will find an FAQ in the Internet about extracting the HMI configuration and subsequent
migration:
Migrating an integrated project from WinCC flexible to WinCC (TIA Portal) (http://
support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/54695062)
After the migration, the project contains the migrated HMI with the old connections.
Figure 4-4 HMI migration

You must then perform the following additional steps:

1. Insert a device proxy and initialize it to the Classic project (see also Configuring Comfort
Panels in a SIMOTION SCOUT project (Page 38)).
The Classic project must reference the same HMI tags as the migrated project.
2. If you want to use a Comfort Panel, perform a device replacement.
3. Right-click the panel in the net view and select the "Device / change version" entry.
The "Replace device" dialog opens.
Figure 4-5 Replacing a device
Note
Note the compatibility information.

Establishing a connection and synchronizing HMI tags

1. Establish a connection between the device proxy and the HMI. This connection is an
integrated connection and like the connections with SIMOTION devices, it cannot be edited
in the WinCC connection editor.
2. Click the "Connections" button and select the device in the net view. Also select "HMI
connection" in the drop-down list.
3. Move one device to the other one using drag-and-drop. The TIA Portal creates an HMI
connection.
Figure 4-6 HMI device proxy connection
4. Double-click the "Connections" entry under HMI variables in the project navigation.
The panel settings are displayed.
Figure 4-7 Customizing connections
5. Note the name of the old connection (here "Connection_1") and delete this connection. The
old connection is invalid after the migration.
6. Change the name of the new connection (between panel and device proxy) by entering the
name of the old connection.

7. Perform a comparison of the old HMI variables.

8. Right-click the "HMI variables" entry in the project tree and "Synchronize for comparison
with the PLC variable".
The following dialog opens:
Figure 4-8 Synchronizing PLC variables dialog
9. Activate the "Data type and absolute address match" option. If you have renamed one of
the variables, it is possible that it is connected with an incorrect variable. Consequently,
renamed variables should be reassigned manually.
If a variable is incorrectly connected, this error will not occur until during RT communication.
10.Activate the "Replace WinCC variable name with PLC variable name" option.
The project that was used for initializing the device proxy must contain the same set of tags
as the old project.
Add new tags after the migration and synchronization, and interconnect them. If you change
the source project settings in SIMOTION SCOUT, you must update the device proxy.

4.5 Using direct keys
Use of panel keys as direct keys

The direct keys are used to directly influence the machine status from the HMI Panel. For
example, a direct key can be pressed to stop an axis.
The following files must exist for the configuring:
● For PROFIBUS DP, a GSD file for the panel
● For PROFINET IO, a GSDML file for the panel
Requirement
You already have a project with a device proxy that is connected with a Comfort Panel, and a
SIMOTION controller exists.
Configuring in HW Config
As you cannot select the Comfort Panel in the HW Config of SIMOTION SCOUT, you must
add the device to the HW Config using GSD import. Only then can you configure the direct
keys. The GSD/GSDML files are not currently available; contact SIEMENS Customer Support
in this connection.
To configure a Comfort Panel, proceed as follows:
Configuring in HW Config
1. Switch to SIMOTION SCOUT and open HW Config.
2. Perform "Options > Install GSD files".
The "Install GSD files" dialog box is displayed.
3. Select the GSD/GSDML file, and click "Install" and "Close".
The file will be installed.
4. Navigate in the hardware catalog, for example to the "PROFINET IO > Further field devices
> HMI" entry.
The installed Comfort Panels are displayed in the folder.
5. Drag the panel to the PROFIBUS master system or to the PROFINET IO subsystem.
Ensure that the panels have the same bus addresses (PROFIBUS address, IP address,
etc.) as the devices configured in the TIA Portal.
The help system of the TIA Portal describes how you complete the configuration of a direct
key with WinCC flexible.
Configuring the HMI in the TIA Portal for the use of direct keys
If you intend to use direct keys, you need to take a number of general conditions into account
when configuring the Comfort Panel in the TIA Portal. The PROFINET device name and the
converted device name of the HMI must be identical. The Comfort Panel must not be configured
as an IO device. The configuration must be saved as a GSD/GSDML before the Comfort Panel
is exported.

The proxy is set up in the TIA Portal and connected to the panel in the network configuration.
The HMI connection has been configured.
Configuration in the TIA Portal

1. Check to make sure that the Comfort Panel is not configured as an IO device. The IO device
operating mode must not be activated.
Figure 4-9 HMI operating mode not as IO device
2. Configure the PROFINET device name at the connected interface PNxIO (150) port X1.
3. Enter the device name, e.g. "hmi1_panel". The TIA Portal automatically generates a
converted device name. In this example, this is hmi1xbpanel7da2.
Figure 4-10 Device name of the Comfort Panel with converted device name
4. Copy the converted name into the field labeled "PROFINET device name".
Figure 4-11 Converted name and PROFINET device name are identical
5. All essential configuring steps have now been completed. Continue the configuring process
as described in previous chapters.

You can check which device name has been configured by selecting the Startcenter at the
fully configured panel.
1. Select the "Startcenter" at the panel.
2. Select "Settings > PROFINET". The PROFINET window appears. The converted name of
the panel and the PROFINET device name configured in the TIA Portal must be identical
in this window. The name is hmi1xbpanel7da2 in our example.
