User Manual

Use
The engineering tool X-PG on the Fujitsu Siemens Notebook offers a complete solution
to engineer and commission 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 SIMATIC STEP 7 software is also installed and ready to operate in addition to the
software for SICLIMAT AS engineering and the block library. The SICLIMAT packages
are designed functionally and in application to meet the needs of building automation
and control.
The tool allows you to efficiently and securely generate and commission all SICLIMAT
automation software.
A Siemens Fujitsu notebook serves as the basic hardware. The X-PG can be used both
at a stationary workspace as well as on site.
In addition to using the X-PG as SICLIMAT engineering tool, it can also be used as a
sector-neutral SIMATIC programming unit and personal computer.
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 TP177but without connection to SICLIMAT X.
• SIMATIC STEP 7 software to load, test and commissioning SIMATIC automation
stations.
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.
