1.3.3 Creating non-STEP 7 stations
Creating non-STEP 7 stations
SINAUT ST7 supports the configuration of different types of non-STEP 7 stations. These
include SINAUT ST1 devices, a SINAUT ST7cc control center or an SMS center. As with the
STEP 7 stations, they are created by double-clicking on the icon in the station catalog or by
dragging them to the project window. The following objects must be selected for these
subscribers:
● For a SINAUT ST7cc/ST7sc control center:
SIMATIC PC station
● For an SMS center:
Other station
For more information on SINAUT ST1, refer to release 05/2007 of the manual.
Note
The non-STEP 7 stations listed above are used as placeholders in the network configuration.
Hardware configuration of a non-STEP 7 station of the type
SMS center
is not possible since
its content is unknown to STEP 7.
To attach created stations to the networks of the project, communication-compliant modules
are first configured for the STEP 7 stations in
HW Config
so that the required interfaces can
then be configured.
With non-STEP 7 stations, the interfaces can be created immediately.
Creating the interfaces for non-STEP 7 stations
● SMS center:
An SMS center (SMSC) configured as an
other station
is configured in the
Properties
dialog available over the context menu with exactly 1 SINAUT dial-up network node.
● ST7cc / ST7sc control center:
A SINAUT ST7cc or ST7sc control center configured as a
SIMATIC PC station
is
equipped with the suitable communications module in hardware configuration and
