Specifying The Measuring Ranges - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Operating Manual

Engineering in PAA

14.16 Specifying the measuring ranges

Requirement
● Paramater of a CM (or function) is connected with a paramater of another CM (or function)
● Parameter from one CM is connected to a signal on another CM
● Parameter from one CM is connected to a parameter on two different CMs
Procedure
1. Open the function diagrams of the created CMs.
2. Right-click on a parameter and select "Navigate > Documents > (partner function diagram
with slot number)".
3. The navigation will show the partner on document with the slot number (current or another
document).
Note
Based on the connected parameters, the context menu will show the corresponding
connected partners.
In case of the function diagram where two parameters are connected to a parameter of the
other CM, two connected partners are shown.
4. Click on the partner, the function diagram of the connected parameter opens and the object
selected is CM (or function) with slot number shown.
14.16 Specifying the measuring ranges
Signals
The tab of the CM signal becomes a new "Measuring range" attribute.
When a unit is set, the measuring range can be specified through the mapping table from the
measuring function.
See "Attributes > Automation Interface < Signal configuration > Measuring range".
Database name Y00A00404
Parameter
It is also possible to specify a unit for a parameter.
If the value and the device are transferred from PCS 7, you have to make sure that the change
in the unit does not change the transferred value.
See "Parameter configuration > Measuring range"
