13. Compile the project by right-clicking the fail-safe controller and selecting the following
shortcut menu commands in sequence:
– "Compile > Hardware (rebuild all)"
– "Compile > Software (compile all blocks)"
You can transfer the project to the fail-safe controller and the HMI device.
Application example
You can find a Getting Started and a detailed application example including TIA Portal
project on the Internet (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/103497649).

Configuring plant areas in WinCC

6.3.1

Overview

If you use multiple connection boxes in several plant areas, you can use connection point
recognition to determine the connection box used to connect an HMI device and the plant
area in which it is located. This provides the following functions, for example:
● Display of screens on the HMI device for specific plant areas
● Emergency stop or stop for fail-safe Mobile Panels in specific plant areas in an F-system.
This section describes how to configure a connection point recognition and screens for
specific plant areas.
A PROFIsafe-based F-system can be configured as follows:

Configuring connection point detection

You can read out the box ID of the connection box to which the Mobile Panel is connected
from the project. This section describes the associated configuration steps.
Requirement
● The box ID is set via the rotary coding switch of the connection box, see section
"Setting the box ID of the connection box (Page 70)".
● The corresponding project has been opened in the TIA Portal.
