STEP 7--Micro/WIN Programming Package

The STEP 7--Micro/WIN programming package provides a user-friendly environment to develop,
edit, and monitor the logic needed to control your application. STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides three
program editors for convenience and efficiency in developing the control program for your
application. To help you find the information you need, STEP 7--Micro/WIN provides an extensive
online help system and a documentation CD that contains an electronic version of this manual,
application tips, and other useful information.

Computer Requirements
STEP 7--Micro/WIN runs on either a personal computer or a Siemens programming device, such
as a PG 760. Your computer or programming device should meet the following minimum
requirements:

- Operating system:
Windows 2000, Windows XP, Vista
- At least 350M bytes of free hard
disk space
- Mouse (recommended)

Figure 1-2 STEP 7--Micro/WIN

Installing STEP 7--Micro/WIN

Insert the STEP 7--Micro/WIN CD into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. The installation wizard
starts automatically and prompts you through the installation process. Refer to the Readme file for
more information about installing STEP 7--Micro/WIN.

Tip
To install STEP 7--Micro/WIN on a Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista operating
system, you must log in with Administrator privileges.

Communications Options
Siemens provides two programming options for connecting your computer to your S7-200: a direct
connection with a PPI Multi-Master cable, or a Communications Processor (CP) card with an MPI
cable.

The PPI Multi-Master programming cable is the most common and economical method of
connecting your computer to the S7-200. This cable connects the communications port of the
S7-200 to the serial communications of your computer. The PPI Multi-Master programming cable
can also be used to connect other communications devices to the S7-200.

Display Panels
Text Display Units
The Text Display (TD) is a display device that can be connected to the S7-200. Using the Text
Display wizard, you can easily program your S7-200 to display text messages and other data
pertaining to your application.

The TD device provides a low cost interface to your application by allowing you to view, monitor,
and change the process variables pertaining to your application.

The S7-200 product family provides four TD devices:

- The TD100C has a 4-line text TD 100C TD 200

display with 2 font choices.
- The TD 200C has a 2-line text
display with 20 characters per line
for a total of 40 characters. TD400C
TD 200C
- The TD 200 has a faceplate which
provides four keys with predefined,
set-bit functions and allows up to
Text Display eight set-bit functions.
- The TD400C can have a 2- 2 or
4-line text display depending on Figure 1-3 Text Display Units
your font and character choice.
For more information about the Text Display Units, refer to the SIMATIC Text Display (TD) User
Manual on the STEP 7--Micro/WIN docuCD.

The Text Display wizard in STEP 7--Micro/WIN helps you configure Text Display messages
quickly and easily. To start the Text Display wizard, select the Tools > Text Display Wizard menu
command.

Operator and Touch Panel Displays

The OP 73micro and TP 177micro
panels are tailored to applications with
SIMATIC S7-200 Micro PLC and provide
operating and monitoring functions for
small-scale machines and plants. Short
configuration and commissioning times,
and their configuration in WinCC flexible
form the highlights of these panels. In
addition, these panels support up to 32
configuration languages and five online
languages, including the Asian and
Cyrillic character sets.
The mounting dimensions of the
Operator Panel OP 73micro with its
graphical 3” display unit are compatible
with OP3 and TD 200.
Touch Panel TP 177micro replaces the
Touch Panel TP 070/TP 170micro. It can
be mounted vertically to accommodate
additional applications. This feature
enables its use even when space is Figure 1-4 Operator and Touch Panel Displays
restricted.

Connecting the S7-200 CPU

Connecting your S7-200 is easy. For this example, you only need to connect power to your
S7-200 CPU and then connect the communications cable between your programming device and
the S7-200 CPU.

Connecting Power to the S7-200 CPU

The first step is to connect the S7-200 to a power source. Figure 2-1 shows the wiring
connections for either a DC or an AC model of the S7-200 CPU.

Before you install or remove any electrical device, ensure that the power to that equipment has
been turned off. Always follow appropriate safety precautions and ensure that power to the
S7-200 is disabled before attempting to install or remove the S7-200.

Warning
Attempts to install or wire the S7-200 or related equipment with power applied could cause
electric shock or faulty operation of equipment. Failure to disable all power to the S7-200 and
related equipment during installation or removal procedures could result in death or serious
injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment.
Always follow appropriate safety precautions and ensure that power to the S7-200 is disabled
before attempting to install or remove the S7-200 or related equipment.

3. Ensure that the DIP switches of

the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable
are set as shown in Figure 2-2. Figure 2-2 Connecting the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master Cable

Tip
Examples in this manual use the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable. The RS-232/PPI Multi-Master
cable replaces the previous PC/PPI cable. A USB/PPI Multi-Master cable is also available.
Refer to Appendix E for order numbers.

Verifying the Communications Parameters for STEP 7--Micro/WIN

The example project uses the default settings for STEP 7--Micro/WIN and the RS-232/PPI
Multi-Master cable. To verify these settings:

1. Verify that the address of the

PC/PPI cable in the
Communications dialog box is set
to 0.
2. Verify that the interface for the
network parameter is set for
PC/PPI cable(COM1).
3. Verify that the transmission rate is
set to 9.6 kbps.
If you need to change your
communications parameter settings, see
Chapter 7.

Figure 2-4 Verifying the Communications Parameters

Establishing Communications with the S7-200

Use the Communications dialog box to connect with your S7-200 CPU:

1. Double-click the refresh icon in the

Communications dialog box.
STEP 7--Micro/WIN searches for
the S7-200 station and displays a
CPU icon for the connected
S7-200 station.
2. Select the S7-200 and click OK.

If STEP 7--Micro/WIN does not find your

S7-200 CPU, check the settings for the
communications parameters and repeat
these steps.
After you have established
communications
co u cat o s with
t the
t e S7-200,
S 00, you
are ready to create and download the Figure 2-5 Establishing Communications to the S7-200
example program.

Creating a Sample Program

Entering this example of a control program will help you understand how easy it is to use
STEP 7--Micro/WIN. This program uses six instructions in three networks to create a very simple,
self-starting timer that resets itself.
For this example, you use the Ladder (LAD) editor to enter the instructions for the program. The
following example shows the complete program in both LAD and Statement List (STL). The
network comments in the STL program explain the logic for each network. The timing diagram
shows the operation of the program.
