S7-200 PLC for UMS Biotech Lab Waste Treatment Plant

Beside enabling the plant to be operate in auto condition. The installation of S7-200 couple with TD-200 & conventional mimic provide the following benefits to operators:

- Plant process variable can be change easily via TD200.

- Plant operating errors can be display at TD200.

- Plant component status can be display at 2 tone LED mimic.

A low cost implementation that optimize enclosure size & minimize usage of relays & timers.

Using EM277 to test S7-200 system with only 1 port

Step 1 - Update to Microwin 4.0 to SP7 (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/33005232).

Step 2 - Connect the PPI cable to EM277

Step 3 - Access via Profibus, the PG/PC interface has to be configured to "S7ONLINE --> PROFIBUS". For example CP5611 (Profibus). Then in properties "mark" "Only Master on the Bus", select address and baud rate should be bigger then 187kbaud.

Step 4 - You are online & connected to the S7-200 system with only 1 port.

S7-200 in Power Plant

The deployment was successfully carry out in Sept 2009.

In this installation, S7-200 PLC act as a data collector, process control centre & interface device between 1 touchscreen + 1 SCADA workstation.

Communication between SCADA workstation ( at Main Control Room ) with S7-200 ( at Local Control Panel, WWTP ) is via WiFi.

This installation exibit the agile, compact & flexible features of low cost S7-200!
