S7-CHARTS
Do you prefer to program PLCs using flowcharts?
S7-CHARTS does just that! Just add it to your Step 7 Basis or
Pro package to design, develop, and program flowcharts for the
SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 programmable logic controllers. It
includes:
- Full graphical editor for multi-chart programs
- Powerful instruction editor with compiler
- System-wide cross-referencing and tag name browsing
- State-of-the-art documentation preview and printing
|
S7-CHARTS has an open interface for generating flowcharts
automatically by using common languages such as Visual Basic.
This reduces the development time for creating large amounts of
standard flowcharts that would otherwise be programmed manually.
S7-CHARTS uses Structured Text as it is defined in the IEC
61131-3 standard to program the flowchart elements. This
powerful language supports high-level language elements such as
math and trig functions for complex calculations, array
manipulation or control statements for data management.
It's time to go with the flow… with
S7-CHARTS!
S7-SCL
|
SCL can be an extremely time-saving method when you're dealing with
complex algorithms and extensive data processing tasks. And with
S7-SCL, you can make the fullest use of this.
S7-SCL corresponds exactly to the "Structured Text"
high-level language defined in DIN IEC 1131-3 and it has strong
similarities to PASCAL, but a PASCAL expanded specifically to deal
with PLCs and SIMATIC:
- allowing accesses to I/O,
timers and counters,
- supporting the S7 blocks,
- providing high-level debug
functions
- fully integrated into the
Simatic environment,
- and certified to PLC open Base
Level.
|
|
 |
When you program with S7-SCL, your programs are clearer, simpler and
significantly easier to read. The error rate plummets - and the speed
takes off.
S7-GRAPH
 Are you right-brained or left-brained? With S7-GRAPH,
you can be both!
S7-GRAPH uses graphics to easily describe sequential
and simultaneous processes instead of using complex programming
methods.
The process is broken down into a sequence of steps and transitions
between the steps. Then you program the contents of the steps by
defining the individual actions in text form. You can program the
transitions as a ladder diagram or as a function block diagram.
The Results? S7-GRAPH lets you program quickly and view an extremely
clear (and error-free!) program draft. Downtimes are drastically
reduced because there are integrated diagnostics functions available
and the sequencer is automatically synchronized with the machine
status again following a simple manual intervention.
S7-CFC (Continuous
Function Chart)
 Can
you visualize the program you're about to create?
With S7-CFC you can create programs by
drawing a process flowchart. Just connect the blocks to show data
flow!
Simply combine ready-made blocks
independently of the hardware.
S7-CFC complies with IEC1131-3, and does NOT
require expert PLC or computer skills. Yet, you will be able to create
PLC programming solutions.
Debugging and startup are also carried out in
the technology-oriented diagram. And an extensive library of standard
functions (that can be supplemented with your own standards) eliminate
the need for most programming tasks in the preparatory phases. CFC,
the final word in software re-use!
S7- PLCSIM
 Now
you can test your Step 7 programs before touching the hardware!
If startup costs are dragging you down, take
a long hard look at the benefits simulation offers. A simulated test
environment can reduce startup costs by detecting programming errors
early and dramatically decreasing commissioning time.
S7-PLCSIM simulates a PLC CPU; therefore, a
COMPLETE application including control programs and HMI can be tested.
With S7-PLCSIM loaded on your PC, you can simulate your S7-PLC and
test all related SIMATIC STEP 7 user programs. Or, you can test as you
program. Either way, you won't need ANY hardware (PLCs, CPUs, I/O
modules, power supplies, or wiring) to find your errors.
What can you lose by testing early and
testing cheap?
S7-PDIAG
 Whew!
The project is up and running normally. Can you rest now?
All it takes is a defective actuator or
sensor, a faulty movement, an unfulfilled interlock or an elapsed
monitoring time and… CRISIS! PANIC! BLAME!
With the help of S7-PDIAG, process faults are
detected and reported. You get clear information concerning the
location and cause of the fault and information for immediate
correction.
With S7-PDIAG you can implement powerful
process diagnostics without extensive overhead because the signal
monitoring is imbedded in the program.
So, if you're worried that you'll be in the
middle of the next process snafu, think about diagnostics. Think about
S7-PDIAG.
S7-VersionStore
 Are
you having difficulty keeping track of changes in automation projects?
You're not alone.
Even in development phases, PLC programs and
program libraries are continually being changed to fix errors or
conform to changed parameters. Consequently, managing and logging
these changes can become very tedious or are just ignored!
Version control makes it easy to keep an
entire history of program versions at a central location, track
changes during the PLC program life cycle and grant access to any
specific version within this history list. When problems arise, with
S7-VersionStore, you'll be able to find the documentation you need as
quickly as possible.

you need to service (maintenance or diagnostics) a PLC
that is a little more than a hop, skip and a jump away.
Maybe it's on the other side of the planet?
Let Siemens TeleService come to
the rescue.
TeleService is
designed specifically for the remote servicing of SIMATIC
S7/C7 automation systems. All it takes is a PC or
programming device over a fixed-line network or a radio
network. Once setup, the familiar functions of Step 7 and
its wide array of Engineering Tools are available to you.
With TeleService, you'll increase
availability of plant and machines as well as personnel.
