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 serves as an introduction and largely dispenses with detailed
information and background information.
Basic knowledge of how to create a PCS 7 project. You can find information on creating a
project in the following documents:
● For PCS 7 V6.1:
"SIMATIC PCS 7 Process Control System V6.0 Getting Started - First Steps
Documentation"
● For PCS 7 V7.0:
"SIMATIC PCS 7 Process Control System V7.0 Getting Started - First Steps
Documentation"
● For PCS 7 V7.1:
"Process Control System PCS 7 Getting Started Part 1 (V7.1)"
"Process Control System PCS 7 Getting Started Part 2 (V7.1)"
● For PCS 7 V8.0:
"Process Control System PCS 7 Getting Started Part 1 (V8.0)"
"Process Control System PCS 7 Getting Started Part 2 (V8.0)".
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.
Software required for the Getting Started of the PCS 7 block library for soft starters
Note
The versions required conform to the version of PCS 7 installed.
● You can execute the example project on any PC or programming device on which the
following software is installed:
– Windows operating system
– Internet Explorer
– Message Queuing service
– SQL server
You can find further relevant details in the following manuals:
– "SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 PC Configuration and Authorization"
– "SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 V7.0 Released Modules"
– "SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 V6.1 Released Modules"
– SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 Released Modules (V7.1)
– SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 Released modules (V8.0)
● You create the PCS 7 project with the SIMATIC Manager.
To create a project in PCS 7, follow the instructions in the documentation "Process
Control System SIMATIC PCS 7 V6.0 Getting Started - First Steps Documentation" or
"Process Control System SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0 Getting Started - First Steps
Documentation".
For PCS 7 V7.1:
"Process Control System PCS 7 Getting Started (V7.1)"
For PCS 7 V8.0:
"Process Control System PCS 7 Getting Started (V8.0)".

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are
important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, Siemens’
products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly
that you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should
also be considered. For more information about industrial security, visit
http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
