2.Notes on programming for SIMATIC S7-300

2.1SIMATIC S7-300 automation system

The SIMATIC S7-300 automation system is a modular microcontroller system for the low and medium performance range.

A comprehensive range of modules is available to optimally adapt the system to the automation task. The S7 controller consists of a power supply, a CPU, and input and output modules for digital and analog signals.

If necessary, communication processors and function modules are also used for special tasks such as stepper motor control.

The programmable logic controller (PLC) uses the S7 program to monitor and control a machine or a process. The I/O modules are queried via the input addresses (%I) and addressed via the output addresses (%Q) in the S7 program.

The system is programmed with the STEP 7 software.
