Overview
Overview of simulation software for SIMATIC PCS 7
The S7-PLCSIM simulation software supports functional testing
of the user programs generated with CFC/SFC on a program-
ming device/PC, irrespective of the availability of the target hard-
ware. Detection and elimination of programming errors is
thereby shifted to an earlier development phase. This enables
faster commissioning, reduces the costs and increases the pro-
gram quality.
Note:
S7-PLCSIM as of V5.4+SP8 is compatible with SIMATIC PCS 7
V9.0.
■
Function
S7-PLCSIM simulates a SIMATIC S7 CPU with the associated
process images. The program to be tested is loaded into the
simulated S7 CPU in a manner identical to the procedure with
real hardware, and is executed there. S7-PLCSIM is completely
integrated in STEP 7. Process data can be exchanged between
S7-PLCSIM and other Windows applications via an interface.
