SIMATIC Manager
The SIMATIC Manager manages all the data that belong to an automation project − regardless of
which programmable control system (S7/M7/C7) they are designed for. The tools needed to edit
the selected data are started automatically by the SIMATIC Manager.
Symbol Editor
With the Symbol Editor you manage all the shared symbols. The following functions are available:
• Setting symbolic names and comments for the process signals (inputs/outputs), bit memory,
and blocks
• Sort functions
• Import/export to/from other Windows programs
The symbol table created with this tool is available to all the other tools. Any changes to the
properties of a symbol are therefore recognized automatically by all tools.
