STEP 7 basic Software
STEP 7 basic software is the standard tool for the SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC C7 and SIMATIC WinAC automation systems. It enables the user to use the performance capability of these systems easily and conveniently.
STEP 7 contains convenient functions for all phases of an automation project:

• Configuring and parameterizing the hardware.
• Specifying the communication.
• Programming. 
• Test, start-up and service
• Documentation, archiving.
• Operating/diagnostics functions 
  
  
  

  STEP 7 program tools

  SIMATIC-Manager:
  The SIMATIC Manager manages all data belonging to an automation project, regardless of the target system (SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC C7 or SIMATIC WinAC) on which they are implemented.
  It provides a common entry point for all SIMATIC S7, C7 or WinAC tools. The SIMATIC software tools that are necessary for processing the selected data are automatically started by SIMATIC Manager.
  Symbol-Editor:
  With the tool Symbol Editor all global variables (in contrast to the local formal parameters that are declared when the blocks are programmed) are managed. The following functions are available:
  
  • Definition of symbolic designations and comments for the process signals (inputs/outputs), flags and blocks
  • Sorting functions
  • Data exchange with other Windows programs
  The symbol charts that are generated when this tool is used are available to all software products. Changes to a symbol parameter are therefore automatically recognized by all tools.
  Hardware configuration:
  The tool Hardware Configuration is used for configuring and parameterizing the hardware used for an automation project. The following functions are available:
  
  • Configuration of the automation system  Racks are selected from an electronic catalog and the selected modules are assigned to the required slots in the racks.
  • 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:
    Properties such as restart characteristics and cycle-time monitoring can be set menu-driven. multicomputing is supported. The entered data are filed in system data blocks in the CPU.
  • Module parameter assignment:
    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. Thus, a change of a module can be made without another parameterization.
  • Function module (FM) and communications processor (CP) parameter assignment:
    This parameterization also occurs within the hardware configuration in the same way as the parameterization of the other modules. For this parameterization hardware-module-specific screen forms and rules are provided for each FM and CP (is included in the FM/CP functions package). The system prevents faulty inputs by offering only allowed entry options on the parameter assignment screen forms.
  Communication configuration 
  
  • Configuring and display of communication links
  • Time-driven cyclic data transmission via MPI:
     - Selection of communication partners
     - Entering of data source and data destination in a table.Generation of all system data
       blocks (SDBs) to be loaded and their complete transmission to all CPUs take place
       automatically
    - Parameterization of the selected communication blocks in the customary programming
      language (e.g., LAD).  
  • Event-driven data transmission
    - Definition of the communication links.
    - Selection of the communication function blocks (CFBs) from the integrated block library.
    - Parameterization of the selected communication blocks in the customary programming
      language (e.g., LAD).
  System diagnostics
  System diagnostics offer the user an overview of the status of the automation system. The display can be in two different forms:
  
  • Display of text messages, which can be output directly and quickly.
  • Pixel-graphics display within the Hardware Config display, offering the following options:
    - Display of general module information (e.g., order number, version, designation) and
      module status (e.g., faulty)
    - Display of module faults (e.g., channel faults) of the central I/O and DP slaves
    - Display of alarms from the diagnostics buffer
  For CPUs, additional information is displayed
  
  • Causes of malfunction during user program execution.
  • Display of cycle duration (longest, shortest and last cycle).
  • Display of the reserved and free memory.
  • Capabilities and usage of MPI communication.
  • Display of the performance data (number of possible inputs/outputs, flags, counters, timers and blocks)
    
    
    

    Programming languages

    The following well-proven programming languages are available:
    
    • Ladder (LAD,
    • Function Block Diagram (FBD)
    • Instruction List (IL)
    The user can create programs that comply with DIN EN 6.1131-3.The user-friendly, pixel-graphics LAD and FBD editors support the programmer with:
    
    • Uncomplicated and intuitive operation:
      The creation of ladder diagrams/function block diagrams is characterized by the user-friendliness familiar from PCs, such as drag and drop, cut and paste.
    • Library of predefined complex functions (such as PID controllers) or user-specific standard solutions 
    The Instruction List (IL) textual programming language makes it possible for the user to create programs in which operating time and memory location are optimized and which are “close to the hardware.” When creating these programs, the programmer is supported by the following user-friendly editing functions:
    
    • Entry option in incremental mode and free text mode: the user can either have each input immediately checked “incrementally” for correctness, or create the complete program using only symbols in a text editor and subsequently have it translated by means of the appropriate symbol chart.

Install STEP7 5.4 on Windows 7

Image via Wikipedia

1. Installing STEP7 on Windows 7

If you try to install STEP7 on Windows 7 without any tricks you’ll get the error
The software cannon be installed on your computer with the operating system ?.
The setup program requires Windows XP, 2003 Server or Vista. Other operation systems are not supported. Then setup ends.
Obviously, the install program don’t know such version of operation system as Windows 7 have. Windows Vista and Windows 7 are compatible in most situations. Knowing that fact, many people expect that Step7 will work on Win7. The problem is in setup program, so some fans try to force installing the Step 7. They got a help from siemens support forum.
You need to download and install the special program for MSI packages edit. It names Orca.

http://depositfiles.com/files/fn1ub04yi
http://letitbit.net/download/3301.b39cfa98d34fa88bb91e98bc7/orca___msi_editor.Msi.html

You must to modify several setup.msi files, which contains in STEP7 distributive. To install Step7 Professional 2006 SR6 under Windows 7 you need to edit the next files:
CD_1\STEP7\Disk1\setup.msi
CD_1\STEP7\HF1\Disk1\setup.msi
CD_1\S7PCT\Disk1\setup.msi
CD_1\S7-Plcsim\Disk1\setup.msi
CD_1\Automation License Manager\Disk1\setup.msi
CD_2\S7-Graph\Disk1\setup.msi
CD_2\S7-Scl\Disk1\setup.msi

Open every file in Orca program, choose “ControlCondition” row in Tables, then select at right row DLG_InstallationRequirements and change the contents in Action column from “Disable” to “Enable”. The screenshot is applied. Now the install program allows to skip the prevention message and you’ll be able to press the Ignore button in prerequires checking window.
If you wouldn’t to do this actions you can download the already corrected distributive of Step7 Professional 2006 SR6.

2. File S7EpaSRVx.exe not found

During the installation process of STEP7 the new error appears: “can’t find the S7EpaSRVx.exe file”. This error don’t interrupt the installation, but it appears again when work with “Setting the PG-PC interface” utility. There is no ability to add/remove any interface, for example, to start using PLCSIM.

The problem cause is the same: the setup program didn’t know OS version. The file S7EpaSRVx.exe must be located in Common Files\Siemes folder, though it’s required only in Vista not in XP. There are more some files in this folder that don’t install on Win7. The solution is simple: copy the Common Files\Siemens folder from Windows Vista with successfully installed Step7 Pro on it. You can download this folder with instuctions from

http://depositfiles.com/files/p8qrr5xsm
http://letitbit.net/download/2314.274a62325600990cd7bd8fe3f/Win7_adaptaion.zip.html

It’s recomended to place this folder before starting the Step7 setup program. Then you will not got the any error.

3. Adding CP5611, CP5612 and PC Adapter to PG/PC Interface

The problems end only for users who work only with controllers by Ethernet interface. You can’t select MPI or ProfiBus interfaces to work with PCI-card, PCMCIA extension or USB adapter, because they miss in selection list of Install/Remove Interface window. The PC_Adapter_USB drivers installation also don’t help.
The interface selection list places in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Siemens\SINEC registry tree. This tree contents were exported from Vista OS with installed STEP7 5.4 SP5. Add this content to registry in replace mode and you’ll see the full list of interfaces.

The connection to controller throught USB Adapter were tested. All functions work fine.

4. Configure the help system WinHlp32.exe

The most part of STEP7 help system build on old .hlp file format. In order to open it in Windows 7, you need to download the special addon from Microsoft site (validation required).
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=ru&FamilyID=258aa5ec-e3d9-4228-8844-008e02b32a2c

Conclusion

All the problems are caused by unknown version of Windows for the setup program. The Vista compability mode don’t working in full measure.
Siemens must do some adaptaions and tests in order to STEP7 works fine on Windows 7. You perform described operations at you own risk. You must understand that creating the project for real objects under Windows 7 is not a good idea. But learning the Step7 or starting to develop the project are seems to be acceptable.

Files to download

Siemens folder, which should be placed in C:\Program Files\Common Files  before starting the setup program, and SINEC. reg file with registry settings for connection interface list to be full.

SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS CP 5711 Released

1. Product description

The CP 5711 is an innovation of the existing SIMATIC NET CP 5512 for PGs/PCs with USB V2.0 ports. With its USB V2.0 connection, the CP 5711 can be used on many different computer platforms.
Innovation of the PG/PC connector technology for USB V2.0:The CP 5711 is connected via a USB V2.0 port, allowing flexible use of the module. USB V2.0 is available on many computer platforms and applications for the CP 5711 are therefore manifold. The CP 5711 can also be used on a USB V1.1 port, but the performance will be lower in this case.
Functionally compatible with the CP 5512, as well as PC Adapter USBApplications created for the CP 5512 can be used for the CP 5711 without any changes to the configuration or the user software.The CP 5711 is functionally compatible with the PC Adapter USB for engineering applications (e.g. STEP7)
+ 5 V Power supply from USB V2.0The communication processor is supplied with power from the USB port of the PC system.
+24 V optional external power supplyThe external 24 V power supply covers two application areas: - The power supply from the USB V2.0 port is not sufficient (power supply of the PC is too weak; USB ports are not designed for 500 mA USB standard) - PROFIBUS Termination is assured even when the USB cable is disconnected (active supply of the PROFIBUS connection termination)SIMATIC S7 or SITOP power supplies can be used to provide the external voltage supply.
Mechanical USB latchingAdditional mechanical latching of the included USB connecting cable on the housing of the CP 5711. This safeguards the USB connection in the case of mobile use and also for applications in switchboards.
Diagnostic information via LEDsFive LEDs are available on the CP 5711 communication processor to provide extensive diagnostics (power USB, power external, identify, Link/SF and Activity. - Power USB = module is supplied with 5 V from the USB port - Power Ext = module is supplied with 24 V from an external source - Identify = USB identification phase - startup phase of the module - Link/System Fault = two-colored LED (green/red) providing the user with status information: - the LED lights up green when subscribers are identified on the connected PROFIBUS network (Link Status). - the LED lights up red if an error occurs on the CP 5711.- Activity = the module has synchronized itself on the PROFIBUS network and the PROFIBUS token is available on the PROFIBUS network.
Mounting on a mounting rail (with optional accessories)A separate mounting bracket is available for use of the CP 5711 in switchboards and mounting on 35 mm standard rails.

The existing CP 5512 module with Cardbus technology will continue to be sold in parallel with the CP 5711. Our customers thus have flexibility and can decide freely whether they wish to use a vacant Cardbus slot, or a USB port to operate the relevant SIMATIC NET communication processor. An additional area of application are PC-based systems with no separate card slot and only USB ports.

S7-300/400 CPUs: Temperature Recording in the S7-CPU by Means of Pt100 Resistivity Thermometer and SITRANS TK-L Measuring Transducer

Problem

Almost everywhere where products or materials are processed or worked, the temperature has a decisive influence on the quality of the final product and the course of the process respectively. It is thus necessary to record the temperature, to interpret its influence and to specifically react to changes in temperature using control technology.

Solution

The device combination of SIMATIC products and SIEMENS temperature sensors including measuring transducers is an excellent solution to the mentioned problem. In this application, a Pt100 sensor records the temperature of a measuring object and a SITRANS TK-L measuring transducer converts the sensor's measuring signal into an injected current which is supplied to an analog input of the compact CPU. The current temperature measurement value is displayed both numerically and as a bar chart on a TP170A touch panel.

Using the special STEP7 application software, which you can download (see below), it is additionally possible to ...

• define seven temperature ranges which are displayed on the touch panel and represented by DO bits. These bits can be used to trigger various user actions.

• display limit temperature violations requiring acknowledgement, react to them (in the program) and acknowledge them.

• provide the last insufficient or excess temperature with a time stamp.

The WinCC flexible configuration of the TP170A is integrated in the STEP7 project. The user interface languages German and English can be selected.

Cara Membuka Blok Yang Diprotek Di Siemens Simatic Step 7

Baru-baru ini, saya menerima telpon dari seorang teman. Dia mempunyai masalah di mesin packaging buatan Jerman. Kebetulan menggunakan PLC Siemen S7-300. Pada saat dia membuka program PLC Siemens Simatic S7, ada beberapa block penting yang diprotek. Karena tidak mungkin menunggu berhari-hari untuk menyelesaikan problem dimesin tersebut. Sementara seandainya memanggil orang bikin program dari Jerman. Woow.. lost time lost money. Simak tulisan saya dibawah in.

Bagaimana saya membuka blok yang diprotek?

Hal pertama yang saya akan dilakukan adalah mencari tentang software ini di Google dan membaca tentang software ini semuanya. Setelah itu mencoba eksplorasi perangkat lunak ini. Seseorang (mungkin S7 programmer) menjelaskan tentang 'Generate Source' dan saya ditunjukkan olehnya sebuah contoh yang tepat. Lebih lanjut dia tunjukan pada saya bagaimana cara kunci blok melalui KNOW_HOW_PROTECT. It was amazing, mereka hanya menulis baris ini (KNOW_HOW_PROTECT) di dalam sebuah program dan cara mengkompilasi kode. Dikompilasi kode yang dikenal sebagai blok. Blok yang telah dilindungi yang berarti kode di dalam blok tidak dapat terlihat oleh orang lain. Kemudian menghapus sumber dan blok sekarang yang diprotek. Bingung deh...

Setelah saya coba, berhasil. Berikut ini langkah-langkah yang harus dilakukan untuk membuka proteksi blok programnya:

Step 1 : Download program *.dbf editor. Editor dbf yang saya gunakan. Untuk download silahkan klik berikut ini http://www.ks-soft.net/download/other/dbf_edit.zip atau dari Mr. PLC di http://forums.mrplc.com/index.php?s=e6d59e5a3589ec647fce45abc6acab04&act=Attach&type=post&id=895

Step 2: Setelah anda download file tsb. Extract file dbf_edit.exe dikomputer anda didrive mana saja dan buat folder DBFEDIT. Contohnya saja saya extract di C:\DBFEDIT\DBF_EDIT.exe.

Step 3: Untuk membuka proteksi blok tersebut (unlock), copy file SUBBLK.DBF dari folder ..\PROJECT\ombstx\offline\00000001\ dimana projek tersebut anda simpan.Kemudian paste di dalam folder C:\DBFEDIT\ (yang sebelumnya dibuat di Langkah 2).

Step 4:Kemudian jalankan Command Prompt(Dos Windows) dengan cara mengklik START -> Run -> Ketik Cmd -> Kemudian Enter atau di Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

Step 5: Ikuti perintah berikutnya,

C:\>cd dbfedit
C:\DBFEDIT>dbf_edit.exe subblk.dbf

Sebuah aplikasi DOS akan membukan, cari kolom PASSWORD dengan menekan arah panah ke kanan pada keyboard. Dan ganti angka 3 menjadi 0 dengan menekan tombol ENTER dan masukan nilai 0 untuk membuka proteksi blok tersebut (unlock the block). Kemudian tekan Esc atau F10 untuk SAVE dan Exit. Lihat di print screen di bawah ini.

Step 6: Copy the SUBBLK.DBF yang tadi ada di dalam folder C:\DBFEDIT\ dan paste dimana file tersebut berada sebelumnya. Ingat lakukan backup file original SUBBLK.DBF.

Step 7: Sekarang buka file project di SIMATEC Step 7 software. Semua blok yang terproteksi kini sudah terbuka (All the blocks are unlocked).

Jadi sekarang berhasil. Lihat print screen sebelumnya (Lock) dan sesudahnya (Unlock).

Prinscreen diatas Semua di lock

Printscreen setelah unlock, hanya utk SFC tetep lock (soalnya itu std firmware dr siemensnya).

Untuk pertama kali saya memerlukan waktu kurang lebih 1 jam, tapi kalau sudah terbiasa 5 menit saja cukup.

SELAMAT MENCOBA :) :)
