S7 SmartLabel: Generation of I/O module labels
■ Overview
■ Benefits
• Addresses, symbol names and other data (e.g. resource codes
or slots) do not have to be edited individually for the printout,
but can be taken directly from the SIMATIC PCS 7 project.
• This achieves 90% time savings over manual creation of labels,
recouping the costs after just one day
• Potential editing errors are eliminated
• Printout on different media: paper, transparencies or label
sheets
• Perforated label sheets avoid the time-consuming cutting of
the individual labels
• Support in the generation of new module layouts
• Brand labeling: You can also integrate your company logos
• Support of all Microsoft Windows-compatible printers
• Software and layout templates can be downloaded from the
Internet

Siemens ST PCS 7.1 · September 2005
■ Function
A SIMATIC PCS 7 project already contains all the data for labeling
the modules.
You do not have to copy, import, export or edit any other data.
S7-SmartLabel accepts addresses, symbolic names and other
data (e.g. resource identifiers, or slot) directly from the SIMATIC
PCS 7 project. S7-SmartLabel then assigns the associated data
to the configured distributed I/O modules.
Using this information, the module-specific label strips are created
and output "with pin-point precision" on a printer that is calibrated
by S7-SmartLabel. After they have been peeled off or cut
out, the labels are inserted in the slots provided on the front panel
of the modules, if necessary with additional transparent
strips of film (colored).
S7-SmartLabel supports various print media:
• pre-perforated label sheets
• white or colored DIN A4 paper
• DIN A4 transparent film
S7-SmartLabel is an independent software program that enables
labels to be generated and printed automatically for all cen- ■ Selection and Ordering Data Order No.
