WinPLC7
8.1 System conception
WinPLC7 is a programming and simulation software from VIPA for
every PLC programmable with Siemens STEP
®
7. This tool allows you
to create user applications in FBD, LAD and STL. Besides of a com-
fortable programming environment, WinPLC7 has an integrated simu-
lator that enables the simulation of your user application at the PC
without additional hardware. This "Soft-PLC" is handled like a real
PLC and offers the same error behavior and diagnostics options via
diagnostics buffer, USTACK and BSTACK.
Detailed information and programming samples may be
found at the online help respectively in the online docu-
mentation of WinPLC7.
There is also the possibility to use according configuration tools from
Siemens instead of WinPLC7 from VIPA. Here the proceeding is part
of this manual.
