Purpose of the Getting Started
The Getting Started gives you a complete overview of the commissioning of the analog
module SM331. It assists you in the installation and configuration of the hardware of a 4-
20mA sensor and the configuration with SIMATIC S7 Manager.
The intended readership of Getting Started is a novice with only basic experience in
configuration, commissioning and servicing of automation systems.
What to expect
The procedures, from mounting the module to storing analog values in the STEP7 user
program, are explained step-by-step and in detail based on an example. In the following
sections you will be introduced to:
●
Problem analysis
●
Mechanical setup of the example station
●
Electrical connection of the example station
●
Configure hardware with SIMATIC Manager
●
Creating a small user program with STEP7 which stores the read analog values in a data
block
●
Triggering and interpreting diagnostic and hardware interrupts
