PCS7 Web Option V8.0 Mobile

This document provides instructions for visualizing PCS 7 process control systems on mobile devices. It discusses the required hardware and software, how to configure resolutions and scaling for different devices, and how to initialize remote access. The user first installs a remote app on the mobile device and initializes it. They can then establish a secure connection to a Web server to remotely view and interact with PCS 7 processes. Proper internet settings and a holistic security concept are also recommended.

1 Task
The process visualization is an essential part of a system. The larger and more
complex a system is, the more information must be processed and visualized.
Stationary operating stations are localized over Ethernet cables and are matched
to the visualization of specific units. The central control room together with its
process operating stations is located far away from the sensors and actuators.
To increase flexibility, one would wish to be able to move freely with a mobile
operating unit inside the system next to the process level components.

2.1 PCS 7 Process visualization on mobile terminal
devices
The use of mobile terminal devices enables one to get close to all the process-
specific information.
Thanks to the portability, weight and computing power, smartphones and tablets
offer the best conditions for a comfortable and process-oriented operation of the
system. Currently, there is no standardized app for smartphones and tablets, which
connects them directly to a plant. However, there are many apps are available that
can establish a remote connection to a terminal server, which in turn is connected
to the system.
When using mobile devices, process pictures must be scaled as required by the
particular device resolution. The Application Example will help you achieve the best
possible display results.

2.2 Range of functions


Terminal server
A terminal server with installed "PCS 7 Web Server" software serves as the
interface between the mobile terminal devices and the system. If a mobile terminal
device connects to the terminal server, a session will be assigned to it. Sessions
are limited depending on the server operating system. Therefore, the number of
mobile terminal devices that can be connected concurrently to the terminal server
is limited.

Remote Desktop Protocol


The communication between the mobile terminal devices and the terminal server
is done via Remote Desktop Protocol.
Internet Explorer is opened via the terminal server. Plug-ins allow you to receive
graphical information via Internet Explorer while the terminal server takes over the
computing power. This allows you to control and monitor process pictures and to
get a complete process control.

Object properties of process pictures


Changes to the object properties of the process pictures allow you to fit the process
pictures to any screen size and to hide the bulky scrollbars.

2.3 Required hardware and software components


This is implemented via the PCS 7 Web Option. The type of hardware and software
components required can be found in the following manual:
SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 Web Option for OS (V8.0 SP1)
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/68154057

This document only deals with the representation and scaling of process pictures
as well as the establishment of the remote connection between the mobile terminal
devices and the terminal server.

Mobile terminal devices


The mobile terminal devices must meet the minimum requirements of the remote
app. It's up to you to decide which model you use.
In this case, the larger the screen, the clearer and easier the process pictures are
displayed. A smartphone with a 5-inch screen is enough for pure observation
purposes and is easier to carry than a tablet with a 10-inch screen. If you place
more emphasis on controlling process objects or want a better overview of the
process pictures, it is recommended to have a larger model (from 7 inches).
Siemens AG 2014 All rights reserved

NOTE Please note that when applying this example in hazardous areas, the mobile
devices used must be certified accordingly.

Remote app
To enable remote access, there are various apps available from
different providers for Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
Some apps like TeamViewer require additional software on the desired target
computer and a commercial license, while others are based on Remote Desktop
Protocol but are available for free. The remote app "2X RDP Client" has been used
in this Application Example.
This provides the following advantages:

Free of charge
There is no separate software needed on the target computer because"2X
RDP Client" is based on Microsoft's already existing "Remote Desktop"
operating system function and its RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol).
Simple and clear operation
Available for:
- Android smartphones (from V1.5), Android tablets (from V3.0)
- From iOS 3.1.3 for Apple iPad, iPhone und iPod Touch
- Windows Phone 8

Note For more information about the remote app, see the manufacturer's website.

3 Resolution and scaling

3 Resolution and scaling


3.1 Aspect ratio
Process pictures are scaled linearly. Devices with an aspect ratio of 4:3 will not
display correctly or will be distorted if your monitor resolution corresponds to an
aspect ratio of 16:9. This also applies the other way around. The following figure
shows this problem:
Siemens AG 2014 All rights reserved

For this reason, it is recommended to use a mobile terminal device having the
same aspect ratio as that of the monitor.

Note When purchasing the mobile terminal device/monitor pay particular attention to
the aspect ratio.
To calculate the aspect ratio, divide the horizontal pixel width by the vertical pixel
width.
Example:
1920 1080 =
