1.1 Overview
Introduction
A power failure/breakdown in the automation network usually has disastrous con-
sequences. Without suitable power supply the network simply fails without saving
the data and terminating sensitive software. This has the effect that system data
gets lost, operating systems and software can get damaged. In addition, the plant
may not be in a failsafe state, which may endanger people and the machinery.
The SITOP PSU8600 power supply offers a solution for this. Apart from the basic
device with one or several outputs, there are also various additional modules for
the expansion of the number of outputs (CNX8600) and for increasing the buffer
time (BUF8600). With the help of the SITOP BUF8600 buffer modules, operation of
the connected automation components can be guaranteed for a limited period of
time during the power failure/breakdown. Thus the automation network remains
functional. All nodes can reach the SITOP PSU8600 via its two Profinet ports in the
network.
Overview of the automation task
A software controller is operated on Panel PCs and takes on the control of the au-
tomation plant. Plant-specific data is illustrated via an active visualization through
the operating system on the panel PC. A SITOP PSU8600 will secure the power
supply with a buffer module (maximum number per basic device is two).
Only a limited buffer time is available via the buffer module due to its capacity. This
is why the state of the SITOP PSU8600 needs to be monitored. If there is a power
failure, the IPC and the controller have to be terminated in a controlled way in order
to prevent damages.
The figure below provides an overview of the automation task.

During runtime the software controller communicates via Profinet with the
SITOP PSU8600 power supply. As soon as a there is a voltage drop (limit Uin,min)
on the input (input voltage Uin < Uin,min), it will go to buffer mode. The state is de-
tected by the software controller. As soon as the charge of the BUF8600 buffer
module is so low that a sufficient power supply of the IPCs can no longer be guar-
anteed, the controller shuts itself and the IPC down.
The process of the shutdown includes the stop of the WinCC Runtime and of the
software controller as well as the subsequent saving of the data and the shutdown.
1.2 Scenarios
If there is a voltage drop on the input of the SITOP PSU8600, the buffer module
takes on the power supply without interruption. There are different scenarios of
power failure.
Two scenarios can be used as an example, to be able to understand the problems
that may arise.
1. First-time power failure/breakdown
Prerequisite: Buffer module fully charged and IPC in normal mode (operating
system booted up, controller and visualization active)
Input voltage < Uin,min shutdown of visualization, operating system and con-
troller
2. Repeated power failure/breakdown
Prerequisite: Buffer module partly discharged and IPC is in boot up (operating
system and controller have been started and are in boot-up process)
Input voltage = 400 V boot up of operating system and controller input
voltage < Uin,min waiting for start-up process shutdown of visualization,
operating system and controller

1.2.1 Scenario 1 –first-time power failure
The input voltage on the SITOP PSU8600 has failed or dropped. The IPC is now
supplied by the buffer module. If the critical time (twait) has been reached, meaning
that the power supply on the output can no longer be guaranteed, all mode data is
saved, the visualization will be terminated and the panel PC with controller is shut-
down.

Buffer capacity
Shutdown
panel PC
twait
tbuffer
tshutdown
The controlled shutdown of the operating system of the panel PC and the software
controller takes an overall tshutdown time. For this to proceed properly, the following
has to apply tshutdown ≤ tbuffer.
The maximum buffer time tbuffer can be read via the characteristic of the charge cur-
rent from the device module of the SITOP PSU8600 (see References in /9/ and
/10/).
Alternatively, it can be estimated via the formula tbuffer = Ibuffer module/ Il,max * tbuffer module.
Ibuffer module andtbuffer module are the specifications on the buffer module.
The maximum occurring charge current IL,max can be determined via the maximum
consumption PIPC,max of the panel PC and the output voltage Uout applied. The for-
mula for this is: Il,max = PIPC,max /Uout.
Note
The energy consumption of the panel PC depends on the configuration in terms
of hardware. This can be found in the appropriate manual of the panel PC.
If the capacity of a buffer module is not sufficient, an additional module can be
used. There a different module versions (capacity).

1.2.2 Scenario 2 –repeated power failure after completion of scenario 1
After the first power failure the IPC was shutdown correctly and the input voltage is
available again on the SITOP PSU8600. The output is provided with voltage again
and the panel PC starts the startup ton (a brief voltage interruption on output tdelay
has to be configured in the hardware configuration of the SITOP PSU8600, since
the IPC requires a voltage pulse to start the start-up process). After a while tbreak
the input voltage is available again, the buffer module is being charged (tload).
Shortly after that there a power failure/breakdown occurs again.

After finishing the startup of the IPC and the software controller, the software con-
troller detects the insufficient buffer capacity and starts the shutdown process.
In order to ensure a correct start up (ton) and shutdown (tshutdown) it is important in
this case to provide for sufficient buffer capacity. Capacity increase can be realized
via expansion with an additional buffer module.
Note
For a correct start up and shutdown of the IPC make sure that the buffer mod-
ules are sufficiently charged.

3 Basics
3.1 Basics for operation the SIMATIC S7-1500 Software
Controller on a IPC
In order to be able to operate a software controller on an IPC, the IPC has to have
a computing unit with at least two computer cores. This is down to the fact that one
computer is only used for the SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller and the other
one for the Windows operating system.
In addition, a separate partition has to be created for the controller on the hard
drive. It has to be made sure that the DiagBase program is suitable to the software
controller version. This ensures the correct functionality of the S7-1500S. What
version is required for what controller can be found in the appropriate manual.
Information on installation and handling of software controllers on IPCs can be
found in the entries with entry ID 109478804 and 104943430.
The Profinet port X1 is used for the communication in the network by the IPC after
installing the controller and X2. The project is loaded via port X2. When the IPC
starts, the operating system and the software controller are started up in parallel.
3.2 Basics SITOP PSU8600 power supply
To start off with, the SITOP PSU8600 consists of the basic device. It is available
with one or four outputs. If the number of outputs of the basic device is not enough,
up to four additional expansion modules CNX8600 can be connected. The number
of outputs is increased by four each.
In order to be able to maintain the power supply for as long as possible in the event
of a power failure/breakdown, and to ensure a data backup, up to two buffer mod-
ules BUF8600 can be connected. They differ in their buffer capacity and thus their
construction width. The specification is based on the time during which the buffer
module can maintain the power supply with a load current of 40 A and a supply
voltage of 24 V.
The different modules can be arranged individually next to each other on a DIN rail.
The supply and communication is through the System Clip Link which is located on
the top of the main module. The input voltage of the basic device is 400 V.
NOTICE
Material damage/soiling
The sockets on the top carry a voltage of up to max. 60 V and therefore should
be provided with the protective covers included. This prevents material damages
and unnecessary soiling.

Siemens AG 2017 All rights reserved
For the communication in the network, the basic device has a Profinet interface
that is equipped with two ports. The connection to a controller is from one of the
two ports either directly, or through a network switch that is connected with the
network of the controller.
Over the network, the parameters of the SITOP modules can be read out or con-
trolled and subsequently visually displayed.
For this purpose, the Siemens AG offers ready-made faceplate or communication
blocks for various controllers and WinCC (TIA Portal) software. They can be found
in the entry with entry ID 102379345.
Note
By changing the firmware of the SITOP PSU8600 from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0, the internal
data structure has changed. Make sure to download the correct library.
The download page for the firmware update can be found in the entry with entry
ID 102295547.
The basic device can be updated via direct connection from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0. The
CNX and BUF modules can also be dragged up directly via network from 1.0.0 to
1.1.0.
The hardware settings of the outputs are done on the front side of the module. Use
the TIA Portal for the configuration of the software. You have to slide the "REN”
DIP switch to the right, in order to enable the remote access.
Note
If the outputs are switched off manually via buttons 1-4 on the front side, remote
access is no longer possible. Switch the inputs on again by clicking the buttons
again, to re-enable the remote access.
In order for the SITO PSU8600 to be configurable in the TIA Portal, it has to be
added to the hardware product tree in the TIA Portal. To do this, use the appropri-
ate hardware support package (HSP file). You can find it, together with the installa-
tion manual, in the entry with entry ID 102254062.
In addition, the SITOP PSU8600 offers a web server that can be enabled via the
"WEN” DIP switch (for basic devices with product state (PS) 1 and firmware update
1.1.0 "FUNC”). Enabling takes place by moving to the position on the right.
Further functions and information for the SITOP PSU8600 can be found in the re-
spective manuals.

The 1st part of the program is responsible for the reading out of data. For this, the
communication blocks (see References in /5/) from the SITOP PSU8600- library
are used.
Note
How to integrate the library is described in chapter 6.2.
4.2.2 Program details
The data of module SITOP PSU8600 40 A/4 x 10 A is read out with the help of
function block FB1 "SITOP_PSU8600”. The data of the buffer module
BUF8600 10 s/40 A is read out with the help of function block FB9
"SITOP_PSU8600_S”. The data read out is made available to the DB1
"PSU_global_acces_DB” data block. The DB1 includes the data structure
(UDT_PSU8600_Data) of the maximum possible hardware configuration of the
SITOP PSU8600.
The DB4 "BUF8600_S_Out data” block contains the specific parameters of the
buffer module (data type "UDT_BUF8600_S_Out”).

system
The 2nd program part contains the shutdown process of the IPC and of the control-
ler, when the SITOP PSU8600 is in buffer mode. By monitoring the device status of
the SITOP PSU8600 and the charging state of the buffer module, it is decided
through comparative operators whether a shutdown is required. For SIMATIC
S7-1500 Software Controller, TIA Portal offers a system function that is called
"SHUT_DOWN”.
4.3.2 Program details
The device status is read out via the tag "DeviceOperationState” of DB1. Is a pow-
er failure/breakdown the case the tag takes on value 16#09 as result.
The charge status of the buffer module is read out via the "Charging_state” tag of
DB3. If the charge state is lower than 75 % and the basic device in buffer mode,
the "SHUT_DOWN” system function is enabled straight away. If it is higher and the
buffer mode is active it will be waited until the limit value is reached.
Note
The limit value of 75 % is individually specified. It depends on the duration of
how long the IPC takes to shut down and how long the IPC is to be operated
after power failure.
With a SITOP BUF8600 10 s/40 A buffer module the IPC, used in the application
case, can be provided with 24 V (at a consumption of 1.71 A) for approx. 4 min
(tbuffer) after power failure/breakdown at 100 % charge state. The time can be
estimated via the formula tbuffer = 40 A / 1.71 A * 10 s.

The "SHUT_DOWN” system function becomes active, when the "EN” input is set
(to 1). It includes various processes (MODE).
MODE = 1:
–S7-1500S and running Windows applications will be stopped
–Remanent data will be saved
–S7-1500S and Windows will be shut down
MODE = 2:
–S7-1500S will be stopped
–Remanent data will be saved
–S7-1500S will be restarted
MODE = 3:
–S7-1500S remains in "RUN” mode,
–Windows applications will be stopped
–Windows will be restarted
In the application example "MODE = 1" is used as basic/presetting.
Note
More details on the "SHUT_DOWN” system function can be found in the TIA
Portal help which is located in the menu item help in "Show help”. Enter the
name of the system function as search term.
An application example on saving data via shutdown can be found in entry
ID 109479727.
