4.4 Using S7T Config
4.4.1 Starting S7T Config
Requirements
• SIMATIC Manager is opened.
• The Technology CPU was configured in HW Config, and the configuration is
saved.
Starting S7T Config
S7T Config is included in your optional S7-Technology software package, and
provides comfortable features for programming the technology objects of your
motion control command.
To start S7T Config in SIMATIC Manager, select the object "Technology objects"
from the "Technology" folder. The object is only visible if the Technology CPU is
configured in HW Config and compiled.
Select the "Technology objects" object, then select Edit > Open Object in order to
run "Technology Objects Management."
In "Technology Objects Management," select Options > Configure technology to
edit the technology objects in S7T Config. S7T Config starts automatically if you
have not created any technology objects yet.
You can also start S7T Config without running "Technology Objects Management."
Select the "Technology objects" object from the "Technology" folder in SIMATIC
Manager, 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.
