Setting up the hardware configuration
You do not configure the hardware of the uninterruptible power supply in the
SIMATIC Manager. You configure the AS and the external peripherals according to
the PCS 7 standard. The digital inputs of the external peripherals that are
connected to the DC UPS are shown in the HW configuration using appropriate
symbols.
Proceed as follows:
1. In SIMATIC Manager, open the hardware configuration of the automation
system.
2. Highlight the digital input assembly of the external peripherals (1) and choose
menu command "Edit > Symbols…".
3. At the inputs that are connected to the DC UPS, enter an appropriate symbolic
name (2).
4. Click on "OK" to confirm your changes.
5. Compile and load the changed hardware configuration.

Copying process tag types
Before starting to create the AS program, it is advisable to copy the necessary plan
templates to the master data library of the PCS 7 project. In the example we use
process tag type "SITOP" with the APL blocks to monitor a digital signal.
