SIMATIC manager and hardware

configuration

This chapter describes how the modules are configured with the SIMATIC

manager, a PLC ladder program development tool.

The SIMATIC manager runs in the Windows NT environment, and is used to

configure the PLC hardware, develop PLC ladder programs online/offline,

debug through online monitoring, and do other important functions. The man-

ager is capable of real time processing on the Windows NT, and can be used to

edit a PLC ladder program during machining (some restrictions apply to sav-

ing).
