  15. System requirements - hardware Introduction Ordering information System requirements STEP 7 goes Internet Multi-project Configuration in Run LAD/STL/FBD Editor Multi-language projects Symbols Block comparison DB parameterization Symbol table Monitor/force Networks/connections Hardware Config Explanation: Windows NT 4.0 and free memory 1GB. I want to use STEP 7 Professional on this. How much RAM do I require? Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 6a with Internet Explorer V4.01 alone requires 64MB. To this are added a further 64MB for STEP 7 Professional. With 128MB RAM, I’ll be able to load all my desired applications in parallel. Note: The values listed are recommendations from Microsoft. STEP 7 V5.2 can, of course, run on hardware platforms with lower specifications. However, performance restrictions can then result.

  22. Configuration in RUN (CiR) • There are plants that must not be shut down during operation. Nevertheless, dismantling work or conversion work can become necessary. • With the help of CiR, it is possible to carry out certain changes to the hardware configuration during operation (that is, in the RUN state of the S7-CPU). In doing so, operation of the process is interrupted for one second at the most. • This requires the use of an S7-400-CPU (from FW V3.1*) or an S7-400-H-CPU of expansion stage 1v1 (from FW V3.1*). • *Planned start of delivery: start of 2003 Introduction Ordering information System requirements STEP 7 goes Internet Multi-project Configuration in Run LAD/STL/FBD Editor Multi-language projects Symbols Block comparison DB parameterization Symbol table Monitor/force Networks/connections Hardware Config Topology display Data on MMC Messages Report system fault Online help Compatibility

  23. Configuration in RUN (CiR) • Principle of CiR • In configuring the hardware, provision is made for later hardware modifications by setting “CiR capability activated”. • CiR elements are defined that can be replaced later, step-by-step, with actual objects (slaves and/or modules) in the RUN operating state. • CiR means • During the CiR synchronization time, the process inputs and outputs are maintained at their last values. • The CiR synchronization time depends on the degree of expansion of the line (input and output bytes of the DP master system) Introduction Ordering information System requirements STEP 7 goes Internet Multi-project Configuration in Run LAD/STL/FBD Editor Multi-language projects Symbols Block comparison DB parameterization Symbol table Monitor/force Networks/connections Hardware Config Topology display Data on MMC Messages Report system fault Online help Compatibility

  24. Configuration in RUN (CiR) • Permissible configuration changes • Addition of modules in the case of the ET 200M modular DP slave • Re-parameterization of ET 200M modules; selection of other alarm limits, for example, or the use of previously unused channels • Addition of DP slaves to an existing DP master system • Addition of PA slaves (field devices) to an existing PA master system • Addition of DP/PA couplers behind an IM157 • Addition of DP/PA Links (including PA master systems) to an existing DP master system • Assignment of added modules to a partial process image • Modification of partial process image assignment in the case of existing modules or compact slaves • Undoing of changes: added modules, DP slaves and PA slaves (field devices) can be removed again.

  46. Hardware Configuration • New versions of the CPU 31xC have additional functions already familiar in other CPUs, for example: • Distributed reading and writing of consistent data (> 4 bytes) • In "DP slave" mode, the option "Startup/test mode" can be set. This option allows powerful execution of the programming device functions and it enables S7 routing. • The new S7-400-CPUs (V 3.1) offer the possibility of operating up to four DP master systems in clocked mode with the help of OBs 61 to 64. • Parameterization of acknowledgement-triggered signaling (SFB 33 to 35) for CPUs used for PCS 7: if this function is activated on the tab "Diagnostics/Clock" of CPU Properties, the above-named SFBs only report a signal change again if the previous fault message has been acknowledged. This prevents the piling up of messages that cannot then be processed. • New versions of the DP/PA Link support DPV1 mode. When the DP/PA Link is plugged in, the mode of the higher-level DP master is automatically adopted.

  47. Hardware Configuration • Online coordination of identification data: • For the new ET 200M interface module (153-2AA03) and the new DP/PA Link (157-0AA82) as well as for other signal modules of the S7-300, modifiable identification data such as plant designation and creation date can be coordinated (that is coordination between configuration and loaded identification data). • The times specified for events in the diagnostics buffer can be displayed both as module time and as local time. • In module status (PLC >Module Status), specific help can be called up for many of the displayed hardware channel faults. In the case of DP slaves integrated via GSD file, help for device-specific diagnostics can be called up, provided the associated GSD file contains the relevant help texts. • The module status of slaves can be called up via accessible nodes.

This saves searching the Hardware Catalog Introduction Ordering information System requirements STEP 7 goes Internet Multi-project Configuration in Run LAD/STL/FBD Editor Multi-language projects Symbols Block comparison DB parameterization Symbol table Monitor/force Networks/connections Hardware Config Topology display Data on MMC Messages Report system fault Online help Compatibility

  49. Topology display - diagnostics repeaters • In conjunction with diagnostics repeaters Stage 2 (6ES7 972-0AB01), it is possible to display the topology of the PROFIBUS network in addition to displaying PROFIBUS line diagnostics. • In contrast to the network view with NetPro, it is not the "logical" view of a PROFIBUS sub-network that is presented but the physical arrangement of the PROFIBUS nodes with the actual order and distanced to the nodes.
