Success
Story
• Customer
• Chocolate Manufacturer
• Pumping Butter!
• Developer
• DMC Engineer with <1
year experience
• Limited oversight from
Senior Engineer
Who
• Awesome 22in HMI
Results
• Awesome 22in HMI
• Modified Library to work with
continuous travel valves
• Changed PLC logic, but no
need to change HMI
Results
• Awesome 22in HMI
• Modified Library to work with
continuous travel valves
• Manual Control Right Away
• Needed something very fast
• Mapping IO to Function
blocks and HMI, allowed
customer to get manual
control.
Results
• Awesome 22in HMI
• Modified Library to work with
continuous travel valves
• Manual Control Right Away
• New Engineer Trained
• Had limited support due to tight
timeline
• Documentation allowed
engineer with basic PLC
knowledge to learn best
practices
Results
Making
Changes &
Contributing
• Just do it!
• If you find a bug or develop something you can share
with others, email Contribute@OpenPLCLibrary.com
• Make changes as needed for any project and
contribute as possible
• The goal is to improve the entire community together.
How/when to edit the Open Library
Summary
• Portal Libraries are great
• Siemens Open Library is
• Free
• Helpful
• Editable
• Improved by you
• Get it here:
OpenPLCLibrary.com
John Sullivan- Connect ID 7893
303-927-0191
John.Sullivan@DMCInfo.com
• By Type (Data Types, Faceplates,
PLC Type)
• Open to changes
• Will have an undocumented
folder, which will contain all of
DMC Lib
Open Library Organization
• Edit DMC Lib block
• Change type to Open Lib reference block
• Release the version
Resolving Duplicates
Master
Copies
• Almost all project items can be
saved
• No dependencies means that
things can break easily
• Should only be used for items
that cannot be types
Project:
• Unique to every project
• Holds types and master
copies that are only
viewable in that project
• Every type in your project is
in your project library. The
reverse is not necessarily
true.
• Project items (types) must
be instantiated from here
• Can contain items from
multiple global projects
Project Library vs. Global Libraries
Global:
• Can be opened and
viewed by any project
(only 1 at a time)
• Can be archived to a
.zal13 archive
• Cannot instantiate
types directly
• Changes made in
either project or
library can be
quickly sync’d
• Updates to your
project library
automatically
update all links to
blocks in your
project
Updating project/global libraries
• You can view what the dependencies are (both
directions)
• View by version number
• View instances in the project
• Clean up library/harmonize project
Library management
• Allows you to assign a new version
to a block
• Can’t think of a good use case for
this. High risk for messing up
dependencies
• Things this does:
• Assigns new version number
• Deletes older version in project
• Updates all references in project
to new version
Assign version…
• Need to have a instance in your project. It will ask
you which instance to use if you edit from the project
library
• Editing from your PLC block and your project library
are the same
Block editing
Faceplate editing
Releasing a new version
• This part of the library is for reference only
• Created by auto-upgrading a Simatic Manager
project. Blocks cannot be trusted.
• Try everything else before using anything in here
• Exceptions:
• Global tag table
• Pre-made DBs
DMC Library - Master copies
• Most all items and versions are tested
• Still need to be aware that these are new blocks (to
Portal)
• If you find a bug, please report/fix it ASAP
• Version 1.0 = old DMC library version with slight
upgrades
• Version 1.5 – adds HMI “status” INT that allows for
multiple colors on Siemens HMIs

  • 67. • Allows you to assign a new version to a block • Can’t think of a good use case for this. High risk for messing up dependencies • Things this does: • Assigns new version number • Deletes older version in project • Updates all references in project to new version Assign version…
  • 68. • Need to have a instance in your project. It will ask you which instance to use if you edit from the project library • Editing from your PLC block and your project library are the same Block editing
  • 70. Releasing a new version
  • 71. • This part of the library is for reference only • Created by auto-upgrading a Simatic Manager project. Blocks cannot be trusted. • Try everything else before using anything in here • Exceptions: • Global tag table • Pre-made DBs DMC Library - Master copies
  • 72. • Most all items and versions are tested • Still need to be aware that these are new blocks (to Portal) • If you find a bug, please report/fix it ASAP • Version 1.0 = old DMC library version with slight upgrades • Version 1.5 – adds HMI “status” INT that allows for multiple colors on Siemens HMIs DMC Library - Types
