2 Scope of Delivery
2.1 System Prerequisites
The project has been created for the following automation system:
- CPU 315-2 DP
- Touch Panel TP270 (Full version)
The project is made up of two parts:
- STEP7 Software for the CPU
- WinCC flexible Software for the Touch Panel TP270.
Both parts can set up again to be used with other devices:
- STEP7 Software with all CPUs from series S7-300 and S7-400 and a head ET
200M.
- WinCC flexible Software can be converted in the HMI devices which are
available in WinCC flexible.
The basic equipment is also required for the setup work – the configuration
package SIWAREX U for SIMATIC S7 (Order number 7MH4950-1AK01). This
configuration package consists of the following:
- SIWATOOL U Commissioning program for Windows
- Hardware Update (HSP) for the SIMATIC Manager hardware catalog
- Standard function block for operating the SIWAREX U in SIMATIC S7
(included in the project “Getting started”
- Device manuals in several languages
System prerequisites for using SIWAREX U “Getting started”:
- SIMATIC STEP7 Version 5.4 and higher
- WinCC flexible 2005 Version SP1 HF7 and higher
