Totally Integrated Automation - Automation Technology - Siemens

Graphical sequential programming –
SIMATIC S7-GRAPH
Automation software
Intuitive sequence chart for the programming of sequential
functions (component of SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional)
• Configuration of sequential functions
without the need for a complex interlocking
logic between the individual steps
• Integrated process diagnostics for faster
troubleshooting in the event of process
faults
• In accordance with IEC 61131-3, Sequential
Function Chart (SFC)
Programming of function block diagrams –
SIMATIC S7-CFC
Function block diagram programming for continuous processes,
motion control, and PID control
• Graphical interconnection and parameterization
of standardized or user-defined
function blocks
• Extensive library with pre-defined,
pre-tested functions
• Intuitive operation for users who are
familiar with function block programming
or circuit diagrams
• Extended implementation of the function block diagram (FBD)
according to IEC 61131-3 by means of higher-level function blocks
Controller simulation –
SIMATIC S7 PLCSIM

Checking and testing of applications before commissioning
(component of SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional)
• Testing and correcting the program logic
without hardware
• High program quality thanks to comprehensive
test functions
• Short startup times
• Open interface (API) for integration of the
dynamic simulation
• Easily integrated diagnostic functions which enable process faults to
be detected and expensive downtimes to be avoided
