How to Label S7-400 Modules

Method 1: Using Templates

1.Find the templates on the Internet

You can download the templates from the Internet free of charge. Search for the templates on the Customer Supports homepage under article ID 11765788.

2.Download

The download contains templates for the labeling of S7-400 modules.

The templates for S7-400 make the labeling strips available for the outside of the front connector cover and the terminal diagrams for the inside of the front connector cover.

3.How to Print the Labeling Sheets Using the Templates

The idea is to use the templates to print directly onto the foil sheets. You can use a laser printer to label the foil sheets. Proceed as follows:

a)Select page layout view in WORD to edit the template forms.

b)Label the module by clicking in the text boxes and entering the application-specific designation.

c)Always print a preview of the form on white paper, and compare the layout with the original labeling sheets. Because there are differences between the different printers and printer drivers and their accuracy, the dimensions may vary and adjustment may be necessary. If the line and column spacing is not set correctly, you can adjust the position of the entire template under “Header>Graphics>Position” and “File>Page Setup>Margins”.

d)When some templates are printed, a message reporting that the margins are outside of the printable area appears. This message can be ignored.

e)Once you have printed the film sheets, make sure that you fold the labeling strips along the perforation before separating them. This will ensure that the edges of the strips are even. You can then apply the labeling strips to the corresponding module.

Method 2: Using the “S7-SmartLabel” Add-On Tool for SIMATIC STEP 7

You can derive the labeling directly from the STEP 7 project. The basis for application-specific labeling is the symbol table in STEP 7. Detailed information is available on the Internet under: http://www.s7-smartlabel.de/.
