S7-PLCSIM Advanced V6.0 Core Content

1. Basic characteristics of the product

Positioning: Virtual simulation software for SIMATIC S7-1500 series PLC, capable of testing STEP 7 programs without the need for a physical controller

Support CPU:

Mainstream series: S7-1500 (standard/fail safe/technical type), S7-1500R/H redundant system ET 200SP/ET 200pro CPU

Special models: SIMATIC Drive Controller (1504D TF/1507D TF), S7-1500 software/open controller

Core functions:

Communication modes: local communication (Softbus), distributed communication (TCP/IP single adapter/multi adapter mode)

Scalability: API interface supports C++/C # joint simulation, supports OPC UA server and web server functions

Special simulation: ODK function simulation, motion control simulation, redundant system simulation (RUN Solo mode)

System requirements:

Minimum Hardware/Software Configuration Remarks

Processor Intel Core i7 6th generation or above, single instance 1 core+system 1 core+application 1 core virtual machine requires corresponding physical CPU allocation

1GB memory per instance, minimum 4GB system. When installing TIA Portal, the virtual machine needs to be ≥ 8GB

5GB of free space on the hard drive-

Operating system Windows (non Home version), supports VMware/Hyper-V/AWS Cloud and needs to be compatible with the corresponding TIA Portal version

2. Key operational procedures

Installation and License:

Installation process: Run the installation package → Select product components → Configure firewall exceptions (port 4410) → Restart the computer

License type: Floating license (single license supports 2 instances), 21 day trial license

Antivirus exception: The installation directory (such as C: Program Files Common Files Siemens PLCSIMADV) needs to be added to the antivirus software exception list

Communication configuration:

Local communication (Softbus): default mode, restricts communication within the local PC/virtual machine to avoid accidental downloading to the physical CPU

TCP/IP communication:

Single adapter mode (hybrid mode): supports distributed communication across PCs/virtual machines, requires activation of virtual switches

Multi adapter mode (non hybrid mode): Communication is achieved through MAC address mapping, suitable for cloud environments/enterprise networks

Enable distributed communication: Activate "S7-PLCSIM Advanced Virtual Switch" in the Windows network adapter properties

Simulation operation:

Instance creation: Enter the instance name (3-29 characters) through the control panel, select the CPU family, and configure the IP address

Project Download: Select PG/PC interface (PLCSIM/Virtual Ethernet Adapter) in TIA Portal, download hardware configuration and program

Operation monitoring: Switch the instance to RUN mode, support virtual time adjustment (scaling factor 0.01-100), and simulate acceleration/deceleration

Joint simulation: Connect third-party software (such as SIMIT) through API interfaces, supporting hardware interrupt simulation and synchronous control

Data management:

Virtual storage card: stores user programs, configuration data, supports backup/restore (only applicable to simulation environment)

Offline project provision: Create a "user-defined card reader" in STEP 7 and export project data to the virtual storage card directory

3. Common limitations and troubleshooting

Core limitations:

Does not support S7-1200 CPU, PROFINET/PROFIBUS fieldbus simulation

When communicating on a soft bus, multiple instances default to the same IP address and need to be started and downloaded one by one

Motion control simulation does not support isochronous mode or technical module logic

Typical faults and solutions:

Core causes of fault phenomena and solutions

Instance cannot start antivirus software interception, Npcap service is not running, add antivirus software exception, run 'net start npcap' in administrator mode

TCP/IP communication failure, virtual switch not activated, IP address conflict, activate virtual switch, ensure instance IP is unique and matches subnet

Project download failed due to incompatible CPU firmware version. Upgrade TIA Portal project firmware version and recreate simulation instance

Simulation lag/overflow scaling factor too high, insufficient system resources reduce virtual time scaling factor, close redundant background programs

Core content of 1FK6 series servo motor

1. Basic characteristics of the product

Type: Permanent magnet excitation three-phase synchronous servo motor, compatible with motor controlled AC converter, following the principle of sinusoidal current

Application scenarios: Drive and positioning of machine tools, production equipment, robots, and handling devices

Key parameters:

Category specific parameter notes

Protection level IP64 (basic model), optional IP65/IP67 driver end flange optional IP67

Working environment temperature -15 ℃~+40 ℃ Power coefficient 0.92 at 50 ℃, 0.82 at 60 ℃

Altitude adaptation ≤ 1000m (2000m coefficient 0.94, 2500m coefficient 0.9) requires load adjustment according to altitude

Structural parameters IM B5/V1/V3 installation form, self cooling bearings with permanent grease lubrication, maintenance free

Acoustic characteristics below 3000rpm: 55-70dB (A) 1FK6 03./04. Approximately 55dB (A), 1FK6 10. Approximately 70dB (A)

Electrical parameters: When the rotor rotates, the terminal voltage can reach 300V, and the brake is powered by 24V DC ± 10%. The brake is only used for emergency stop

2. Key operational procedures

Transportation and Storage:

Transportation requirements: The weight can reach 50kg, and lifting equipment that complies with Directive 98/37/EU must be used to avoid hitting the shaft end

Storage conditions: dry, low dust, low vibration (effective vibration<0.2mm/s), away from pacemaker wearers and electronic data media

Installation requirements:

Surface treatment: Use commercial solvents to remove the anti-corrosion agent from the shaft end, leaving a heat dissipation gap of ≥ 100mm

Fixed specification: Use hexagon socket screws with a strength grade of ≥ 8.8, and motors with integrated brakes are prohibited from bearing axial forces

Environmental taboos: Prohibited from use in explosive hazardous areas, vertical installation must prevent liquid from seeping into the upper bearing

Electrical connection:

Wiring specification: Use shielded power and signal wires, plug torque ≤ 12Nm (signal plug)/20Nm (1FK6 101/103 power plug)

Safe operation: Electrical work requires power-off inspection, following EN 50110-1 standard, and only professional personnel are allowed to operate

Start up and maintenance:

Pre start inspection: wiring fastening, activation of protective devices, brake testing (rotor rotates freely under 24V power supply)

Operating restrictions: maximum speed not exceeding the nameplate marking, surface temperature ≤ 140 ℃

Maintenance cycle: The bearing life is 20000 hours, and the radial shaft seal (oil lubrication) is about 5000 hours. After disassembly, the encoder needs to be recalibrated

3. Troubleshooting

Core causes of fault phenomena and solutions

Check for insufficient shielding of irregular motor/encoder cables and high controller gain, and adjust converter parameters for shielding and grounding

Abnormal vibration, unbalanced transmission components, poor alignment of the drive chain, loose screws. Rebalance the transmission components, correct alignment, and tighten screws

Motor overheating, overload, heat dissipation obstruction, load verification (refer to nameplate), clean surface to ensure ventilation

Contact the manufacturer for professional repair if there is abnormal noise during operation, foreign objects inside, or damaged bearings. Disassembly by oneself is prohibited
