Mode of operation

The object-oriented graphical programming or configuration is performed with the engineering editors CFC and SFC.

The function blocks are positioned and connected in the diagram with the help of the graphical editor continuous function chart (CFC) in accordance with the technological requirements.

The sequential function chart (SFC) editor with an easy-to-use and clear sequence control can optionally be used to combine CFC programs. Program sections which execute sequentially can be easily created with the SFC by controlling and selectively editing the (technology) functions created with the CFC.

The SIMATIC Manager contained in STEP 7 manages the program and project administration. The required hardware is compiled and configured with the provided HW Config.
