Preface

Purpose

This manual provides a complete overview of programming with STEP 7. It is designed to support

you when installing and commissioning the software. It explains how to proceed when creating

programs and describes the components of user programs.

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 V5.5, 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 XP, MS Windows Server 2003 or MS Windows 7

operating system.

Scope of the Manual

This manual is valid for release 5.6 of the STEP 7 programming software package.

You can find the latest information on the service packs:

?

in the "readme.rtf" 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

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 contextsensitive 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.
