New Functions in Version V4.02

1 Overview

New and Modified Functions in STEP 7 Version 4.02

The information in this supplement will familiarize you with the additional functions of STEP 7, version 4.02 in a short and concise manner.

You should already be familiar with version 4.01 of the STEP 7 software and the manual package ªSTEP 7 Basic Information V4.0º (Order Number

6ES7 810-4CA03-8BA0) supplied with it.

This supplement is structured in a similar way to the STEP 7 User Manual. First, you will find details of the most important updates/changes in creating and editing projects; then, information on configuring hardware, networks, and connections; and finally, notes on creating and debugging user programs.

Minor changes are not documented here. If, for example, dialog boxes have been changed, these changes are explained in the online help.
