Introduction In the past, control tasks were solved with individual isolated Programmable
Logic Controls (PLCs) controlling a machine or process. Today in order for
companies to remain competitive, it is not enough to automate only individual
processing stations or machines in isolation. The demand for more flexibility with
higher productivity can then be fulfilled when the individual machines are
integrated in the entire system.

Totally Integrated Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) provides a common software environment
Automation that integrates all components, in spite of the diversification of applied
technology, into one uniform system. This brings together everything you need
to program, configure, operate, handle data, communicate, and maintain your
control solutions.

Step 7 SIMATIC Manager, running on Siemens PGs or PCs, provides an


integrated set of tools for all system components that allows easy creation,
testing, start-up, operation and maintenance of your control solutions. While you
are configuring and programming, the Siemens software puts all of your data in
a central database to which all of the tools have access.

Central Database A common database of all components of Totally Integrated Automation means
that data only have to be entered once and are then available for the entire
project. The total integration of the entire automation environment is made
possible with the help of:
• One common software environment (Step 7 SIMATIC Manager) that
integrates all components and tasks into one uniform easy to use system.
• Common data management
• Standard open busses such as Ethernet, PROFIBUS, MPI, AS-interface
connect all components to each other, from the management level to the
field.

Requirements SIMATIC PGs provide the optimum basis for using the STEP 7 software.
You can, however, also use a PC that fulfills the above-listed requirements. So
that you can make the necessary online connection between the automation
system (PLC) and the PC, the PC must be equipped with one of the interfaces
listed in the slide above.
If user programs are to be loaded on memory cards, the PC must also be
equipped with the appropriate programming interface.

Installation 1. Activate "Setup.exe" by selecting "Add/Remove Programs" in the "Winxx-


>Control Panel".
2. Choose Options.
3. Choose Language.
4. Insert authorization disk when prompted.
5. Re-boot when prompted.

Software Protection The STEP 7 software is copy-protected and can only be used on one
programming device at a time.
When you have installed the software, you cannot start using it until you have
transferred the authorization to the hard disk drive from the authorization disk.

Note • Be sure to read the notes in the README.TXT file on the authorization disk. If
you do not observe these instructions, you risk losing your authorization.
• As of STEP 7 V5.0, the STEP 7 basic package can also be operated without
authorization until a new authorization has been received. This, however, does
not apply to option packages, such as S7 Graph, if they have been installed .
• As of STEP 7 V4.0, the software is only available on CD-ROM
• Software Service Packs can also be downloaded from the Internet.

Service Packs Free-of-Charge
