Use In Combination With Combivis Connect; Limitations And Recommendations - KEB COMBICONTROL C6 SMART Instructions For Use Manual

COMMISSIONING A PROjeCT
The CONTROL Runtime running on a C6 SMART device can be reached also from a
panel which has been configured to belong to the same sub network.
When having on the same sub network more than one C6 SMART system, you need to
assign different names to them.

5.1.6 Use in combination with COMbIVIS connect

The C6 SMART systems are featuring COMBIVIS connect Runtime as preloaded and
pre-configured.
The COMBIVIS connect VPN connection can be naturally used to connect from remote
to the CONTROL PLC through the integrated gateway. Once the VPN is activated, just
follow the usual steps to get the online connection.
Please see the COMBIVIS connect control center online manual for further information
about how to use the COMBIVIS connect software.

5.1.7 Limitations and recommendations

In order to get the best balancing between functionalities and performances we strongly
suggest to follow some guidelines when designing the applications for COMBIVIS STU-
DIO 6 and COMBIVIS studio HMI.

The COMBIVIS studio HMI project can be configured to communicate with
more than one controller; in these cases the system can act as a gateway and
transfer data through the different channels. For further information about this
feature consult the COMBIVIS studio HMI online manual searching for "Varia-
ble Commands" and then "Move Value".
The PLC cycle time must be greater or equal than 1ms.
The maximum CPU time usable for the COMBIVIS studio 6 application is fixed
from a system parameter; in case the PLC program gets more than 25% of the
CPU time, the CONTROL PLC will be stopped. The user shall then properly
change the PLC task timing in order to respect the limitation.
The COMBIVIS studio 6 application shall use only one at a time of the two availa-
ble I/O fieldbuses (EtherCAT and CAN) in synchronous mode.
The maximum number of bytes exchanged between COMBIVIS studio HMI Runt-
ime and COMBIVIS studio 6 runtime shall not be greater than 1024.
The sampling time specified for data acquisition shall not be less than 15s.
The scripting shall be carefully used in order to leave enough time to the other
tasks to run without impacting too much with the general reaction of the entire
system.
If the project has been configured to use the Web Client, you should consider that
when an external client is connect you may experience a slowdown of the page
change performance of the COMBIVIS studio HMI Runtime.
The "S7-MPI COMx" communication protocol from COMBIVIS studio HMI is not
supported.
