Preface

The SIMATIC automation system unites all of the subsystems of an automation
solution under a uniform system architecture to form a homogenous whole from
the field level right up to process control.

The Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) concept permits uniform handling of all au-
tomation components using a single system platform and tools with uniform oper-
ator interfaces. These requirements are fulfilled by the SIMATIC automation sys-
tem, which provides uniformity for configuration, programming, data manage-
ment, and communication.

This book describes the hardware components of the SIMATIC S7-300 automation
system with standard controllers and the features provided for designing a distrib-
uted control concept with PROFIBUS and PROFINET. To permit communication with
other automation systems, the controllers offer integrated bus interfaces for multi-
point interface (MPI), PROFIBUS, and Industrial Ethernet.

The STEP 7 Professional engineering software inside TIA Portal makes it possible to
use the complete functionality of the S7-300 controllers. STEP 7 Professional is the
common tool for hardware configuration, generation of the user program, and for
program testing and diagnostics.

STEP 7 Professional provides five programming languages for generation of the us-
er program: Ladder logic (LAD) with a graphic representation similar to a circuit di-
agram, function block diagram (FBD) with a graphic representation based on elec-
tronic circuitry systems, statement list (STL) with formulation of the control task as
a list of commands at machine level, a high-level Structured Control Language
(SCL) similar to Pascal, and finally GRAPH as a sequencer with sequential process-
ing of the user program.

STEP 7 Professional supports testing of the user program by means of watch tables
for monitoring, control and forcing of tag values, by representation of the program
with the current tag values during ongoing operation, and by offline simulation of
the programmable controller.
This book describes the configuration, programming, and testing of the S7-300 au-
tomation system with the STEP 7 Professional engineering software Version 12 with
Service Pack 1 Update 2.
