SINAUT ST7 configuration software for the PG
The configuration tools operate under Windows 2000 or XP. An installed version of the
STEP 7 software V5.1 SP 2 or higher is also required; for SINAUT connections over
Ethernet, STEP 7 V5.3 SP 2 or higher.
The configuration software includes the following components:
● A module manager that expands the
HW Config
STEP 7 tool. It handles the display and
parameter assignment of the TIM modules in
HW Config
.
● A WAN manager that expands the
NetPro
STEP 7 tool. This is responsible for the display
and parameter assignment of the SINAUT WAN networks SINAUT network nodes in
NetPro
.
● The SINAUT ST 7 configuration tool is used for project-wide functions such as SINAUT
connection configuration and SINAUT subscriber management.
● The SINAUT ST7 diagnostics and service tool. In addition to the diagnostic functions
familiar from STEP 7. Using the service tool, it is, for example, possible to load new
software on a TIM.
The module manager for SINAUT ST7
The SINAUT module manager expands the catalog of the STEP 7 hardware configuration
tool HW Config. The
SIMATIC 300
folder was extended by the
SINAUT ST7
folder. This lists
all available TIM modules.
You can select the required TIM module from the
SINAUT ST7
folder and install it in the S7
rack.
You can then open a properties dialog and assign the required parameters to the module.
This dialog is also available in the
NetPro
network configuration tool.
