Welcome
Welcome
Welcome to the Getting Started "TIA Portal V13".
In this Getting Started, we show you an example of how to use the CPU SIMATIC S7-1500
with the TIA Portal to create an automation solution for a "color mixing plant". Video clips will
illustrate the approach for creating a solution for the automation task.
In the first part, you assemble the hardware and prepare your configuration PC.
In the second part, you configure the CPU and HMI visualization using the example of a
color mixing plant.
In addition, you can find options and extensions for your automation solutions.
Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are
important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens’
products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly
that you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should
also be considered. You can find more information about industrial security on the Internet
(http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).

Introduction
Introduction
In the following section, you will become familiar with the automation task.
You can find out more about the application example, the hardware configuration and the
components of the sample project.
Application example
The application example for this Getting Started is a color mixing plant for mixing and filling a
previously selected color recipe.
There are four color components for the recipe, cyan, magenta, yellow and black, which
means the colors of the CMYK color space.
Filling takes place in four steps.
●Selection of the color mixture using the HMI recipe function.
●Filling the recipe components or the four basic colors by opening the respective tank
valves.
●Mixing the colors.
●Filling the finished color mixture into tins and transportation by a conveyor belt.

Design of the hardware configuration
The hardware configuration consists of the following devices:
●The CPU 1511-1 PN with an S7-1500 load current supply, a digital input module and a
digital output module.
●HMI Panel TP1200 Comfort that can also be simulated with the TIA Portal.
●Distributed ET 200MP I/O system with IM 155-5 PN ST interface module and digital input
and digital output modules.
●Distributed ET 200SP I/O system with IM 155-6 PN ST interface module, digital input
modules, digital output modules and server module.
1.2
Sample project
Sample project for the application
To configure the color mixing system with the TIA Portal, create the sample project
"Color_Filling_Station".
The following project components already exist for the sample project:
●The program blocks of the CPU
●The visualization of the HMI on a Comfort Panel
In this section, we will explain the relationships between the individual project components of
the sample project.
You will carry out the necessary configuration steps yourself at a later point in time.

Selecting the recipe
①
The HMI screen "Recipes" includes the "Color selection recipe". This is a prefabricated
ob
ject from the library of the TIA Portal. You can use this object to select data records
and to create new data records.
②
The data records (color mixtures) and elements (color components) are stored in the
"Recipes" HMI editor. Each color mixture consists
of the four color components cyan
(C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), black (K). The proportion of each of the four color
components in a color mixture is stored in the "Recipes" editor.
③
The values for the respective color components are written in PLC tags
when you load
a color mixture. The PLC tags are stored in the "Tags_Filling_Process" tag table of the
CPU.
④
The HMI screen "Recipes" also includes a slider. You use this slider to specify the
number of tins to be filled.

Displaying the CMYK and RGB values
①
When the required color mixture is selected in the HMI screen "Recipes", the values
are displayed in the CMYK color space by means of a bar diagram.
②
The
color mixture can be shown with an additional display. This requires the
"Recipescreen" script to be run.
③
You run the "Recipescreen" script by clicking the "Display RGB Value" button. The
script assigns the RGB value assigned to the CMYK value to the di
splay, because
CMYK values cannot be output directly on screens.
④
The required RGB value is calculated by the "SCL_Convert_CMYK_TO_RGB"
program block.

Filling the recipe
①
The "Fill recipe" button starts the filling of the color components in the HMI screen "Start screen". The
button activates the "LAD_Control_Color_Valves" program block.
②
The program block calculates how long each of the four valves needs to
stay open for the color mixture
based on the specified recipe and the number of tins that have to be filled.
③
LEDs below the tanks indicate that the valves are opened.
④
The "LAD_Tanks_Filling_Level" program block is executed at the same time as the fi
lling. The program
block calculates the quantity remaining in the tank for the tank fill level. The fill levels of the tanks are
stored in the global data block "Filling".
⑤
The fill level indicators in the HMI screen are directly linked with the global d
ata block and are updated
with each runtime acquisition cycle.

Starting the mixing process
①
The "Start mixing process" button starts the mixer of the color mix
ing plant in the HMI
screen "Start screen".
②
The "LAD_Mixer" program block is called for this purpose at the CPU end. It activates
the mixer for three seconds.
③
The activation of the mixer is indicated by flashing in the HMI screen.

Filling the color mixture
①
The "Fill Color Mixture" button starts the filling of the tins in the HMI screen "Start
screen".
②
The "SCL_Valve_Conveyor" program block is activated
for this purpose at the CPU
end; it controls the valves and the conveyor belt.
③
The tins are animated according to the movement of the conveyor belt in the HMI
screen.
④
A counter indicates the number of tins that have already been filled.

Resetting the fill level
①
There is a button to reset the fill level of each of the four color tanks in the HMI screen
"Start screen".
②
The reset of the respective fill
level has been implemented in the "Main" program
block in networks 6 to 9.
③
Networks 6 to 9 reset the values to the Start value in the global data block "Filling".
