Overview of simulation software for SIMATIC PCS 7

Using the S7-PLCSIM simulation software, user programs cre- ated with CFC/SFC can be tested on a PG/PC, regardless of whether the target hardware is available. The detection and elimination of errors is thus brought forward into an early phase of development. This results in faster commissioning, lower costs and better program quality.

■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.
