SIMATIC STEP 7 program tools:
1. SIMATIC-Manager:
It provides a common entry point for all SIMATIC S7, C7 or so WinAC tools.

2. Symbol-Editor:
So The following functions are available:

3. Hardware configuration:
The following functions are available:

-So The configuration of the distributed I/Os is done in the same way as the configuration of the non-distributed I/Os; channel-granular I/O modules are also supported.

– CPU parameter assignment:

– Module parameter assignment:
So The user can specify all the adjustable parameters of the modules in input screen forms.

Adjustments via DIP switches become unnecessary.

Parameterization of hardware modules occurs automatically during the CPU’s acceleration.

– Function module (FM) and communications processor (CP) parameter assignment:

This parameterization also occurs within the hardware configuration in the same way as

So the parameterization of the other modules.

So The system prevents faulty inputs by offering only allowed

entry options on the parameter assignment screen forms.

4. Communication configuration:

– Configuring and so display of communication links

– Time-driven cyclic data transmission via MPI:

– Selection of communication partners

– Parameterization of the selected communication blocks in the customary programming language (e.g., LAD).

5. System diagnostics:
System diagnostics offer the user an overview of the status of the automation system.

So The display can be in two different forms:

– Display of text messages, which can be output directly and so quickly.

– Pixel-graphics display within the Hardware Config display, offering the following options:
