Configuring Hardware and Communication Connections STEP 7 V5.3 A5E00262404-01 iii Preface Purpose This manual provides a complete overview of the procedures involved in configuring hardware and communication connections with the STEP 7 software. It is designed to support you when depicting the hardware configuration in the form of a STEP 7 project and describes how to establish data exchange between automation systems. The manual is intended for people who are involved in carrying out control tasks using STEP 7 and SIMATIC S7 automation systems. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the examples in the manual "Working with STEP 7 V5.3, Getting Started." These examples provide an easy introduction to the topic "Programming with STEP 7." Basic Knowledge Required In order to understand this manual, general knowledge of automation technology is required. In addition, you must be familiar with using computers or PC-similar tools (for example, programming devices) with the MS Windows 2000 Professional or MS Windows XP Professional operating system. Scope of the Manual This manual is valid for release 5.3 of the STEP 7 programming software package. You can find the latest information on the service packs: • in the "readme.wri" file • in the updated STEP 7 online help. The topic "What's new?" in the online help offers an excellent introduction and overview of the newest STEP 7 innovations. Preface Configuring Hardware and Communication Connections STEP 7 V5.3 iv A5E00262404-01 STEP 7 Documentation Packages This manual is part of the documentation package "STEP 7 Basic Information.“ The following table displays an overview of the STEP 7 documentation: Documentation Purpose Order Number STEP 7 Basic Information with • Working with STEP 7 V5.3, Getting Started Manual • Programming with STEP 7 V5.3 • Configuring Hardware and Communication Connections, STEP 7 V5.3 • From S5 to S7, Converter Manual Basic information for technical personnel describing the methods of implementing control tasks with STEP 7 and the S7-300/400 programmable controllers. 6ES7810-4CA07-8BW0 STEP 7 Reference with • Ladder Logic (LAD)/Function Block Diagram (FBD)/Statement List (STL) for S7-300/400 manuals • Standard and System Functions for S7-300/400 Provides reference information and describes the programming languages LAD, FBD, and STL, and standard and system functions extending the scope of the STEP 7 basic information. 6ES7810-4CA07-8BW1 Online Helps Purpose Order Number Help on STEP 7 Basic information on programming and configuring hardware with STEP 7 in the form of an online help.

Part of the STEP 7 Standard software. Preface Configuring Hardware and Communication Connections STEP 7 V5.3 A5E00262404-01 v Online Help The manual is complemented by an online help which is integrated in the software. This online help is intended to provide you with detailed support when using the software. The help system is integrated in the software via a number of interfaces: • There are several menu commands which you can select in the Help menu: The Contents command opens the index for the Help on STEP 7. • Using Help provides detailed instructions on using the online help. • The context-sensitive help offers information on the current context, for example, an open dialog box or an active window. You can open the context- sensitive help by clicking the "Help" button or by pressing F1. • The status bar offers another form of context-sensitive help. It displays a short explanation for each menu command when the mouse pointer is positioned on the menu command. • A brief explanation is also displayed for each icon in the toolbar when the mouse pointer is positioned on the icon for a short time. If you prefer to read the information from the online help in printed format, you can print out individual help topics, books, or the entire online help. This manual, as well as the manuals "Programming with STEP 7", "Modifiying the System During Operation via CiR" and "Automation System S7-400H - Fault- Tolerant Systems" is an extract from the HTML-based Help on STEP 7. For detailed procedures please refer to the STEP 7 help. As the manuals and the online help share an almost identical structure, it is easy to switch between the manuals and the online help. You can find the electronic manuals after installing STEP 7 via the Windows Start menu: Start > SIMATIC > Documentation.
