4.3 Using Technology Objects Management
4.3.1 Starting Technology Objects Management
Use S7T Config to configure the technology objects for your motion control task.
The technology DBs form the interface between the user program and the
technology objects. Technology DBs are managed in "Technology Objects
Management."
"Technology Objects Management" can be used in parallel to SIMATIC Manager.
Requirements
• SIMATIC Manager is opened.
• The Technology CPU was configured in HW Config, and the configuration is
saved.
Starting Technology Objects Management
In SIMATIC Manager, select "Technology objects" from the "Technology" folder to
run "Technology Objects Management."
Select the "Technology objects" object, then select Edit > Open object in SIMATIC
Manager.
You can also start S7T Config without running "Technology Objects Management.
In SIMATIC Manager, select "Technology objects" from the "Technology" folder,
and then select Options > Configure technology. Using the menu command in
SIMATIC Manager to start S7T Config is useful in a scenario where you do not
create any new technology objects, and therefore do not have to create any new
technology DBs.
