Product overview

The SIMATIC Embedded Bundles are hardware configurations with pre-installed software

and a USB flash drive with the software license keys.

All software configurations are located on the mass storage medium. The mass storage

medium containing the pre-installed software can be used on any SIMATIC IPC of the same

device family.

Note

The default user interface for Windows Embedded is in English.

You can change the language with the "Language Management" menu item on the Recovery

DVD of the operating system.

Note that only one language can be installed on the SIMATIC IPC at a time.

SIMATIC IPC427D Bundles, SIMATIC IPC477D Bundles

Operating Manual, 03/2015, A5E31844072-AD 9

Initial startup

2.1

Commissioning SIMATIC IPC

The SIMATIC Embedded Bundles contain the hardware and software installation according

to your selected configuration. No further installation is necessary.

Note

The initia

l startup of the system can take longer than usual due to the basic commissioning.

Errors and warnings can be displayed in the status bar at the first and second startup during

initial c

ommissioning or after a restore procedure. They have no effect on the operation of

the device and can be ignored.

Procedure

To commission the SIMATIC IPC for the first time, follows these steps:

1. Connect the device to the power supply.

The SIMATIC IPC performs a self-test. During the self-test, the following message

appears: "Press <F2> to enter Setup or <Esc> to show Boot menu".

2. Wait until this message disappears.

3. Follow the subsequent instructions on the screen to configure the SIMATIC IPC.

After you have provided all necessary information and the operating system is configured,

the user interface of the Windows Embedded operating system automatically appears.

The "SIMATIC IPC Wizard" makes the final settings for the touch screen.

4. Restart the computer.

Result

Once the SIMATIC IPCs has started again, the Windows Embedded operating system

restarts and the SIMATIC IPC is ready for use.

Note

Replacing the mass storage medium

The mass storage medium is already installed in your SIMATIC IPC. If replacement

becomes necessary, the mass storage medium can only be replaced on hardware systems

with identical processors.

Initial startup

2.2 Preset configurations

SIMATIC IPC427D Bundles, SIMATIC IPC477D Bundles

Additional information

Refer to the SIMATIC IPC documentation for more information on commissioning.

2.2

Preset configurations

2.2.1

General information

The information provided in the following sections relates to examples for preset

configurations of the SIMATIC IPC427D/IPC477D Bundles.

Notes on the preset configurations

The following information applies to all preset configurations.

Note

Windows Firewall is enabled. All necessary SIMATIC protocols are registered in the Firewall

as exceptions. You can use CP 5622 or the Industrial Ethernet interface to load STEP

projects.

You do not have to perform any additional configuration in the PC Station or in WinLC

Properties. WinLC RTX submodules communicate in the RTX environment, and the PC

Station components communicate in the Windows Embedded environment.

Note

If it becomes

necessary for any reason to reconfigure your PC Station using the Station

Configuration Editor, you have to select the "IE General" option for the Industrial Ethernet

interface.

You can connect other devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or storage device to the

hardware platform via the USB ports. You can use the DVI-I interface to connect a monitor.

A monitor, USB mouse, and USB keyboard are necessary only for user interaction with the

controller or with other software. To use the Restore DVD, you need a USB DVD-ROM drive.

You only need a storage device for licensing or restoring your installation, but not for

operating WinLC RTX. Alternatively, a bootable USB stick can be generated as a recovery

medium using the Restore DVD.

The hardware platform includes NVRAM. You can use this non-volatile RAM for retentive

data storage. WinAC RTX is preset for storing up to 128 KB of retentive data in the

integrated, battery-backed NVRAM of the hardware platform.

If retentive data exceeds a length of 128 KB, you need to set the "Save to HDD" function in

the Data Storage tab on your Panel. A CompactFlash card is used to store files on the

hardware platform. Protect your system using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in order

to prevent the loss of retentive data on power failure.

Initial startup

2.2 Preset configurations

SIMATIC IPC427D Bundles, SIMATIC IPC477D Bundles

Operating Manual, 03/2015, A5E31844072-AD 11

You will usually require the enhanced write filter (EWF) to protect the C:\ drive of the

CompactFlash card. Set up the EWF accordingly if using drive C:\ to store files. The EWF

usually remains disabled for drive D:\. It is therefore not necessary to take any particular

action for storing data on drive D:\.

For information on the configuration of WinAC Data Storage, refer to the WinAC RTX

documentation.

In addition to this documentation, you can find technical specifications and other information

in the SIMATIC Embedded Bundles product documentation. For comprehensive information

on WinAC RTX and using WinAC RTX for PC-based automation solutions, refer to the

attached WinAC RTX documentation.

2.2.2

Preset configuration -HMI PROFIBUS (DP)

The HMI software package includes the Windows Embedded operating system, WinCC RT

Advanced and integrated communication interface CP 5622. All software is pre-installed and

pre-configured on your hardware platform. No additional installations or configurations are

required. However, you can use the "SIMATIC IPC Wizard" to make the settings for the

display of the SIMATIC IPC.

-HMI configuration

The HMI software package does not include a configuration for the PC station. You transfer

WinCC projects directly from the engineering station to WinCC RT Advanced on the

hardware platform. You can perform transfers over the following channels:

● Standard:

– Serial

Optionally configurable:

– MPI

– USB

You can connect other devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or storage device to the

hardware platform via the USB ports. To use the Restore DVD, you need a USB DVD-ROM

drive or the generated USB stick.

The hardware platform uses a mass storage medium to store data. You usually use the

enhanced write filter (EWF) to protect the C:\ drive when using a mass storage medium. For

WinCC RT Advanced, we recommend a D:\ drive on the mass storage medium with disabled

EWF.

Configuring a WinCC project

The Bundle HMI includes WinCC RT Advanced with recipe and archiving functions.

You need to configure your project with WinCC RT Advanced. You can then transfer the

project from the engineering station PC to WinCC RT Advanced to the SIMATIC IPC. WinCC

Advanced is a stand-alone product that is not included in the SIMATIC Embedded Bundle

product package.

The runtime configuration file settings for the default administrator user ("Administrator") are

pre-configured to D:\ locations. If you create a new Windows user on the SIMATIC IPCs, the

new user is automatically assigned the same runtime configuration file settings as the default

administrator ("Administrator"). You do not need to change the runtime settings for the

"Administrator" default user or for a new Windows user. A D:\ drive is required for WinCC RT

Advanced on the mass storage medium with disabled Enhanced Write Filter (Page 28)

(EWF).

Changing runtime settings

To change the runtime settings for a new Windows user, follow these steps:

1. Log on to the PC with the new Windows user name and password.

2. Select the menu command

Start > Programs > Startup

to change the RT Loader settings.

3. In the Directories group box, change the locations for "Configuration file" and

"Configuration backup file" to D:\ drive locations, but do not modify the "Autostart

Finalizing your SIMATIC Embedded Bundlefor operation

To make your SIMATIC IPC ready for operation, follow these steps:

1. Set the Enhanced Write Filter to the "Enabled" state for the C:\ drive.

2. Document any special settings (for example, changes to the IP address) for the

SIMATIC Embedded Bundlethat you made during your application development.

3. Store them along with your STEP 7 or WinCC RT Advancedproject.

Note

Enhanced Write Filter

Leaving the Enhanced Write Filter in the default "Disabled" state may lead to an early

failure of the mass storage medium, due to ongoing write access of the operating system.

See the topic "

Managing the Enhanced Write Filter (Page 28)" for details.

3.5

Setting up the retentive alarm buffer

WinCC RT Advanced provides the "Retentive alarm buffer" function for SIMATIC IPCs. The

alarm buffer for WinCC RT Advanced alarms is retentive (protected against voltage failure)

and stored on a partition especially reserved for it. This partition has the drive name

"WinCCMB". The alarm buffer operates as a circular buffer and stores up to 1024 messages.

The retentive alarm buffer is already set up for SIMATIC Embedded Bundles. The WinCC

RT Advanced alarms are automatically stored on the exclusively reserved partition.

Additional information

If the reserved partition no longer exists, you must create it under the Windows operating

system.

For more information on the retentive alarm buffer, refer to the readme file on the Restore

DVD and the corresponding FAQ on the Internet

(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/59844876).

3.6

Managing the Enhanced Write Filter

Definition

The Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) is a Windows Embedded utility.

Most mass storage media only permit a limited number of write operations. The EWF can

minimize the write operations to mass storage media. We therefore recommend that you

enable the EWF when you use mass storage media. When the EWF is enabled, Windows

Embedded does not write data to the mass storage medium. Instead, the file write

operations remains in virtual (RAM) memory.

Functionality

The stored file information looks the same, regardless of whether it is actually located on the

mass storage medium or in virtual memory. Users do not notice any differences when they

look at the file contents. The type of file storage only becomes evident when you reboot the

PC or the PC loses power. The data on the mass storage medium is retained. All data in

virtual memory is lost and the PC restarts with the file contents of the mass storage medium.

You can configure the EWF to store data that must be retained after a reboot. If you disable

the EWF, all files are written to the mass storage medium. This means all data remains

available even after a power failure. This greatly reduces the service life of the mass storage

medium.

Note

The default setting for

EWF is "disabled" for the D:\ and C:\ drives of the

SIMATIC

Embedded Bundles. To protect the mass storage medium from premature failure,

enable the EWF for drive C:

\ once all applications and software components have been

installed.

Using the EWF

Microsoft provides the command line program "ewfmgr" for operating the EWF.

Configuration and status requests are entered exclusively by command line.

Note

After you enter commands, you must reboot the computer for the "ewfmgr" commands to

take effect.

To use the command line program, follow these steps:

1. Open a command prompt window.

2. Enter "ewfmgr" followed by a drive designation and a command as illustrated.

3. Reboot the computer for the command to take effect.

Note

Using the EWF with the SIMATIC IPC EWF Manager

Operating the EWF is easier and more convenient with the SIMATIC IPC EWF Manager.

The status of selected partitions can be displayed and monitored in the icon tray of the

Windows taskbar. You can also configur

e the EWF using a graphical user interface.

The available "ewfmgr" commands are shown below for the C:\ drive.

Enable the EWF

Command: ewfmgr c: -enable

Writing data to a mass storage medium:

Command: ewfmgr c: -commit

The "commit" EWF command writes all data that has accumulated in virtual memory at that

time to the mass storage medium. The EWF is not disabled.

Writing data to a mass storage medium and disabling the EWF:

Command: ewfmgr c: -commitanddisable

The EWF command "commitanddisable" disables the EWF. All data that has accumulated in

virtual memory is then written to the mass storage medium. This command is typically

followed by an enable command for the EWF to once again protect the drive on the mass

storage medium.

Note that the original state of the EWF is "disabled". Following a "commitanddisable"

command, use the "enable" command to protect the mass storage medium. All subsequent

data writes will go to virtual memory.

File-Based Write Filter (FWBF)

You can use also an FBWF to protect a mass storage medium.

Additional information

Refer to the documentation for your SIMATIC IPC device for more information on the topic of

EWF.

Creating an image of your system

After you have configured the SIMATIC IPC device for your application, you can create an

image of your system using the "SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator". You can use this

image later to restore your custom application to your system, if necessary.

This system image on a custom Restore DVD is useful if you need to restore all of the files

and registry settings for your application. You can also use the BIOS Manager tool to save

BIOS settings if you changed them from the initial settings.

If your system hardware fails, you can then restore your application from this system image

(custom Restore DVD), and, if applicable, restore the BIOS settings that you saved.

Note

You cannot restore the pre

-installed WinAC RTX license key on the

SIMATIC

Embedded Bundle using the custom Restore DVD. Uninstall the WinAC RTX

license key and all other SIMATIC license keys before you make a cust

om Restore DVD in

the Automation License Manager. Keep in mind that each SIMATIC license key is only valid

for one PC, if you want to use the custom Restore DVD for multiple installations.

Basic procedure

To create a system image (custom Restore DVD), follow these steps:

1. Make all user-specific settings for your application. This includes the following tasks:

– Download a STEP 7 user program

– Changing the original configuration in the Station Configuration Editor

– Installation of user-specific software

– Configuration of WinAC data storage (only bundles with RTX)

– Transfer of a WinCC Advanced project

2. Uninstall the SIMATIC license.

3. Create the system image, for example, using the "Image and Partition Creator" for

SIMATIC IPC.

Note

Information on the Image Creator

The Image Creator is part of the Siemens

-supplied tools "SIMATIC IPC Image and Partition

Creator" or "SIMATIC IPC Service USB FlashDrive"

. You can find ordering information for

the Image Creator in: Industry Mall (

Recovery and Maintenance

4.1

Restore the original configuration

The SIMATIC Embedded Bundle product includes a Restore DVD without license key that

you can use to restore your system to the original configuration. You can restore from a

custom Restore DVD that includes all of your files and registry settings, as described in the

section Creating an image of your system (Page 31).

NOTICE

Restore process with an internal and removable mass storage

When restoring a SIMATIC Embedded Bundle with internal and removable mass storage,

the operating system is automatically stored on the removable storage media. If you want

to store it on the internal mass storage medium, you will need to remove the exchangeable

mass storage first.

Effectiveness

Restoring from the Restore DVD removes all applications and existing user data on the

selected drive. A restore also erases license keys and reloads the registry with initial values.

When a restore is performed, the entire WinAC RTX load memory and the retentive data of

the SIMATIC IPC is deleted.

When a DVD drive is not available, a "Restore USB flash drive" can also be created with the

Restore DVD. Select the drive to be restored in the Restore menu. All storage media can

remain plugged in.

Restore process

To restore your original configuration from the SIMATIC Embedded Bundle Restore DVD,

follow these steps:

1. Use the Automation License Manager to transfer the WinCC license key from the

SIMATIC Embedded Bundle to a storage medium, for example, a USB stick.

2. Connect a USB DVD-ROM drive to your SIMATIC Embedded Bundle and insert the

Restore DVD.

3. Follow the instructions to restore from the Restore DVD.

4. Transfer the license key(s) back from the storage device to the

SIMATIC Embedded Bundle.

After the restore is complete, your system consists of the original configuration for the

SIMATIC Embedded Bundle.

WinAC Data Storage when executing WinAC ODK programs

Protecting data during power loss

The WinAC Data Storage allows you to configure the integrated NVRAM of the

SIMATIC Embedded Bundle for retentive data storage. WinAC ODK programs, however, can

interfere with storing retentive data on NVRAM.

If you are executing a WinAC ODK program on a computer that has the "NVRAM Storage"

choice available, choose "File Storage" from the WinAC Data Storage tool for the retentive

data and use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). This action protects the data during a

power loss.
