Overview
S7-Graph Programming Language
The S7-Graph programming language extends the range of functions of STEP 7 by
allowing you to program sequential control systems graphically.
With S7-Graph, you can configure and write programs to control sequential
processes with a SIMATIC programmable logic controller (PLC). The process is
divided into single steps with a clearly defined range of functions. The process
sequence is represented graphically and can be documented both as graphics and
text.
In the steps, you specify the actions to be executed. The progression from one step
to the next is controlled by transitions (step enabling conditions). The definitions,
interlocks and monitoring of the transitions are programmed using a subset of the
Ladder Logic (LAD) or FBD (Function Block Diagram) programming languages.
S7-Graph for the S7-300/400 complies with the sequential control language
"Sequential Function Chart" specified in the DIN EN 61131-3 (IEC 1131-3)
standard.
