User Manual

Use
The software package X-PG installs the engineering tool X-PG on an existing
programming device or professional notebook.
The engineering tool X-PG offers a complete solution for engineering and
commissioning SICLIMAT automation stations SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400. The X-PG
is especially well suited as an engineering tool when flexible on-site use is required or
when the SICLIMAT automation station is operated stand-alone or networked with
operation/monitoring/reporting (e.g. locally using the SICLIMAT TP177).
The software package includes the SICLIMAT engineering tool AS engineering and the
block libraries. The SICLIMAT packages are designed functionally and in application to
meet the needs of building automation and control.
You can efficiently and securely generate and commission all the SICLIMAT
automation software using the software package X-PG and the STEP 7 toolset (not
included in the software package).
Software
The following software packages are installed and ready for operation when used as
SICLIMAT engineering tool:
• SICLIMAT AS engineering for graphical engineering and testing of automation
station software using SICLIMAT blocks. In addition to the automation software, the
engineering data for the touch panel SICLIMAT TP177 or the
DESIGO INSIGHT building automation and control system or SICLIMAT X is
generated.
• SICLIMAT standard block library for complex, networked building automation and
control plants with optional connection to SICLIMAT X or DESIGO INSIGHT.
• HVAC Lite Library, the new block library for simpler building automation and control
plants using SICLIMAT TP177 but without connection to SICLIMAT X.
The SICLIMAT AS Engineering software package is used to create and test automation
station software with SICLIMAT standard blocks or the HVAC Lite Library. The program
offers a menu-based graphical interface for creating block software. Blocks are
positioned with the mouse on the graphical interface and parameterized or
interconnected (technology chart). Software generation is hierarchically structured and
comfortable copy, drag and delete functions result in efficient engineering. An online
test function allows the display of dynamic process values directly in the technology
chart. Thanks to block technology and corresponding plausibility tests, there is no
special knowledge required for SIMATIC structures, data maintenance, commands, etc.
allowing engineering personnel to fully concentrate on the technological task at hand. In
addition to automation software, AS Engineering can be used to create engineering
data for the SICLIMAT TP177 touch panel, the SICLIMAT X automation and control
system or third-party products such as SCADA systems.
