Planning application
3.6 Effective ranges and zones
Procedure
1. On the system plan specify which parts of the system will be operated with the enabling
buttons. You require effective ranges for these areas of the system.
2. Specify the spatial expansion of the individual effective ranges. The operator must be
located within the limits of the respective effective range in order to operate the
corresponding plant unit with the enabling buttons.
3. Plan the transponders in the effective range in such a manner that the effective range is
covered by the radiated emission of the transponders. Also note that the effective range
is not too large so that it cannot be seen or that any other hazards occur.
4. Define:
5. On the system plan, note the display names and the IDs that you use during
commissioning.

Comply with the rules for the definition of effective ranges. Take special note that the
effective range is not too large so that it cannot be seen or that any other hazards occur.
– A name, a display name and an ID from the value range 1 to 65534 for each effective
range
– A name and a plant-unique ID for each transponder from the value range 1 to 65534
– For each effective range the maximum distance that the HMI device can have to the
transponders of this effective range. The distance must be the same for all
transponders of an effective range.
– The mounting location for an indicator, for example a light that shows that an HMI
device is logged in in the effective range.
Prior to commissioning you must affix the IDs of the effective ranges in the plant so that
they are easily legible.
