This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by

The Getting Started of the PCS 7 library for SIRIUS Soft Starter uses a simple example
project to show you the basic procedures:
● Basic configuration steps
● Handling and monitoring different signal blocks
● Parameterization
This Getting Started manual is intended to be an introduction and largely dispenses with
detailed information and background information.
Basic knowledge of creating a PCS 7 project is necessary. You will find information about
this in the Process Control System PCS 7; Getting Started (V8.0 or higher with APL)
documentation on the Internet
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109485954
).
This documentation contains designations of the software interface elements. If you have
installed a multi-language package for the operating system, some of the designations will
be displayed in the base language of the operating system after a language switch and will,
therefore, differ from the designations used in this documentation.
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept.
Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines
and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the
enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security
measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. For more information about industrial security, please visit:

iemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
S
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to
always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported,
and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.

This document explains the basic principles of using the PCS 7 Library for Soft Starter
3RW44. The PCS 7 Library for Soft Starter 3RW44 is designed according to APL standards
for both, blocks and faceplates. This library contains CFC templates to fulfill the control
function of a Soft Starter device.
For reducing configuration time, a module driver generator is included with this library. By
using this driver generator it is ensured that all necessary interconnections will be handled
automatically by the system and the device is ready to operate in PCS 7 environment.
Custom configuration can be done by the user as well. User manual and online help will give
detailed information about the blocks and their input and output pins.
This document will guide you through the necessary steps for using the template and the
module driver generator in a PCS 7 environment using a sample project. This sample uses
minimum hardware, single station, one PLC connected to one Soft Starter via PROFIBUS.

● Project creation
● HW-Config
● CFC-Editor
● WinCC-Explorer
● WinCC
Refer "Process Control System PCS 7 Getting Started
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109485954)" for further details. You can
find the manuals for your PCS 7 Version in the manual collection.
The Setup program will guide you through the required steps. Use "< Back" and "Next >"
buttons to navigate through the screens during the installation process. The installation
program supports German and English. You can choose your language at the initial screen.
The Library Soft Starter 3RW44 has two components:
● AS = Components for Automation System
● OS = Components for Operator Station
For example, this library has:
● Library for Soft Starter 3RW44 PCS 7 V8.2 AS
● Faceplates for Soft Starter 3RW44 PCS 7 V8.2 OS
Installation program will ask you to decide, which product you want to install. Below is the

For using the library in a plant, it is recommended to store the Soft Starter template in the
Master data library. Since this would be beyond the scope of this document, we recommend
you to take a look in: Process Control System PCS 7 CFC for SIMATIC S7 Function manual
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109736727
With the template stored in the Master data library, follow the below steps.
1. Open CFC-Editor by double clicking on the desired CFC-Object.
2. Select the tab

Now you have two options:
– Setting the HW input address manually, as seen in HW-Config.
– Use symbol table for selecting the input address.
Since this is a short example, we will just hand over the devices input address as it is
displayed in HW-Config. We recommend using the symbol table for large projects. Refer
