SIMATIC S7-Technology
SIMATIC S7-Technology is an optional software package you need to configure
Motion Control functionality of your Technology CPU. Setup fully integrates
SIMATIC S7-Technology into the STEP 7 system. Setup installs the following tools
alongside with S7-Technology:
• Technology Objects Management
• S7-Tech library
• S7T Config, including STARTER
LAD/FBD/STL
You program the user program and Motion Control commands in the
LAD/FBD/STL block editor. In your user program, read out the actual values of
your Motion Control application, and analyze the messages and error information.
Technology Objects Management
You create and delete technology DBs in "Technology Objects Management." You
also use "Technology Objects Management" to rename technology DBs, or assign
different block numbers.
S7-Tech library
S7-Tech is a library of PLCopen-compliant technology functions you call in the user
program as FB. These are used to control your Motion Control commands.
S7T Config
In S7T Config, you configure the technology objects you require to solve your
Motion Control task. S7T Config contains the STARTER code for drives of the
MICROMASTER and SINAMICS family.
CamTool (optional)
SCOUT CamTool can be ordered separately and can be used to create cam disks
on a comfortable graphic interface.
HW Config
HW Config is used to configure the hardware of your Technology CPU, and the
subnets connected to DP/MPI and DP(DRIVE) interfaces.
Drive ES Basic / SimoCom U / DriveMonitor
The optional Drive ES Basic and/or the stand-alone tools SimoCom U
(SIMODRIVE) or DriveMonitor (MASTERDRIVE) software packages can be used
to commission the drives.
