How to Add Unspecified CPU in Tia Portal?

This article is about to add an unspecified CPU in Siemens TIA portal.

Unspecified CPU in Tia Portal

During software setup, you get to know that CPU which installed in hardware doesn’t contain a part number and you also don’t have anything else related to its which can give us a part number.

In such a case, siemens provide an option to detect unspecified CPU. Do follow the below steps to know the process of adding such CPU.

Step 1:

Open TIA PORTAL. Create a new project or open an existing one.

Step 2:

Do follow the steps as shown in the below window.

In Simatic option, you Can expand any option to add CPU which you want to add.

Step 3:

Here. I will add the CPU using the Simatic-1500 option.

Expand CPU and choose unspecified CPU as shown in the below window.

Click “Add” to proceed.

Step 4:

The following window will open up. You can see unspecified CPU is added.

Step 5:

Click on “Detect” as shown in the below window.

Step 6:

The following window will open.

Step 7:

As you can see in the below window when I drop down the list it won’t contain a simulator option.

But simply you have to choose the method of communication you are using and hit the “start search” button. Where you can find a CPU and click on “detect” to add CPU.

As I don’t have actual PLC, I can’t show you detect procedure but you can find it by following the last step (online).

What is a Torbar? – Averaging Pitot Tubes

The Torbar is employed for flow measurement of liquids, gases, or steam in circular, square, or rectangular section ducts for large flow rates. The Torbar is an insertion type multi-port self-averaging primary sensor for flow measurement. Torbar TORBAR is a set of Pitot tubes mounted on a bar across the pipeline with no moving parts. An averaging Pitot tube is a technology, while TORBAR is a manufacturing brand name. There are several brands available in the market with VERABAR, ANNUBAR, etc. Averaging Pitot Tube Principle Purpose Averaging Pitot tube can be employed when the average velocity of the flow profile, rather than the velocity in a specific point in the cross-section is desired. Averaging Pitot Tubes Principle It measures the differential pressure between the static pressure tap and the tap of full pressure of a stream. Thus such magnitude of differential pressure is directly proportional to the square of the flow rate. Working The TORBAR is designed in such a way that ...

Ferrules and Cross Ferruling

Ferrules are identification labels provided for every wire terminations in an instrument, equipment, or electrical/instrumentation control panels. These tube-shaped sleeves can be inserted easily on each individual wire in a multi-core cable. In earlier days fixed digits/letters are used as ferrules, but now Instrumentation engineers/technicians prints out desired ferrules by using a ferrule printing machine. Typical Ferrule The numbers/ letters on the ferrules will be given as per the approved electrical hook up or loop diagrams. This helps technicians to easily identify a particular loop/wiring from a series of terminal blocks and to troubleshoot the desired terminal connection. Separate numbers on the ferrules distinguish the positive and negative polarities of wires, thus ensure the polarity protection of the instrument. Cross Ferruling As a wire is connected on its both ends, it is quite useful to use a cross reference method for wire identification. Unlike normal ferru...

Thermowell Insertion and Immersion Length

The thermowell is the industrial housing for temperature elements like RTD or thermocouple or temperature gauges. Thermowell is directly exposed to process fluid/media. Inside the thermowell, element/gauge is installed. Thermowell transfers the heat to the temperature element. Depending upon the element type, the fluid temperature can be known. So Thermowell protects the temperature element against harsh conditions and process fluid. It enables removal of the temperature element for replacement, repair, or testing without affecting the process system. Generally, thermowells are provided with all-temperature Elements like RTD or Thermocouple or temperature gauge. A few exceptions would be bearing RTD, skin type thermocouple, air duct thermometer, etc where thermowell is not applicable / required. When the thermowell assembly is inserted into the pipe, it is subjected to vibration. This vibration is caused by vortices to be generated alternately on either side of the thermowell. The...
