New Functions in Version V4.02 1 Overview New and Modified Functions in STEP 7 Version 4.02 The information in this supplement will familiarize you with the additional functions of STEP 7, version 4.02 in a short and concise manner. You should already be familiar with version 4.01 of the STEP 7 software and the manual package “STEP 7 Basic Information V4.0” (Order Number 6ES7 810-4CA03-8BA0) supplied with it. This supplement is structured in a similar way to the STEP 7 User Manual. First, you wi

New Functions in Version V4.02 2 Creating and Editing Projects New Function: Password Protection for Access to Programmable Controllers With the aid of password protection you can: Protect the user program and its data in the CPU against unwanted changes (write protection), Protect the know-how in your user program (read protection), Inhibit online functions which would interfere with the process. You can only assign a password to a module if the module supports this function. If you want

New Functions in Version V4.02 3 Configuring Hardware New CPU Parameters There are many new components in version 4.02; for example, racks, C7 control systems, or CPUs in the hardware catalog. It is not possible to list all the updates or changes within the scope of this supplement; instead, only the new CPU parameters (which are relevant to the operation of the latest CPUs) are covered: CPU Parameter Remarks Test operation/ Can be set in the “Protection” tab. process operation In process operat

New Functions in Version V4.02 Configuring the ET 200X (BM 147/CPU) as a DP Slave The BM 147/CPU basic submodule is configured as an intelligent DP slave. In contrast to other intelligent DP slaves, the basic submodule can be found under “PROFIBUS DP/ET 200X/BM 147/CPU” in the “Hardware Catalog” window. Requirement: The application “Configuring Hardware” must be running. Proceed as follows: 1. Configure the DP slave ET 200X (with BM 147/CPU) as an S7-300 station. – Create a new station of the

New Functions in Version V4.02 Configuring the DP/PA Link The DP/PA link is a DP slave which for its part (acting as a kind of “master”) “opens” a PROFIBUS PA for connecting PROFIBUS PA devices. The PROFIBUS PA must be running at a transmission rate of 45.45 Kbps when you connect PA devices. To configure a DP/PA link, proceed as follows: 1. Install the optional package SIPROM; this will enable you to configure the PA slaves from the “Hardware Catalog” window at a later stage. (The PA slaves are

New Functions in Version V4.02 Configuring Software Redundancy The configuration of a “warm standby” system consists of: Two S7 stations with one PROFIBUS-DP master interface each (each of these interfaces forms its own subnet). One or more ET 200M devices with IM 153-3 which are connected to both subnets. This configuration ensures that the “standby station” takes over the processing of the user program if one station (one of the two DP masters fails) fails. Two stations, each with one PROF

New Functions in Version V4.02 Creating a Catalog Profile If the hardware catalog supplied with STEP 7 is too large or too difficult for you to use, you can create your “own” catalog. In this way different catalog profiles are produced. The basis for each new catalog profile is the modules/components catalog with which you are already familiar. The profile of this catalog is known as “standard;” you are free to assign names of your own choice to the catalog profiles you create. To create a new c

New Functions in Version V4.02 4 Configuring Networks and Connections Configuring Connections while Configuring a Network The application for configuring networks can also be used to configure connections. To configure a connection, simply select a module to which connection data can be downloaded, for example, a CPU. The connection table for the selected module will appear in the lower section of the network view. Improved Display and Print Functions The changes to the display and print functio

New Functions in Version V4.02 Connecting an S7-200 to the Multipoint Interface If you wish to connect an S7-200 to the MPI subnet (in addition to programming devices, operating panels, or S7-300/400s), you must select a transmission rate of 19.2 Kbps in the properties dialog box for the MPI subnet. The following restrictions apply: A maximum of 8 nodes are permitted (CPUs, programming devices/operator panels, communications processors/ function modules with separate MPI addresses (each node m

New Functions in Version V4.02 Effects on Existing Programs If you have been using this criterion to distinguish between different symbols, you may experience difficulties with the new definition if: Symbols differ from one another only in their use of upper and lower case characters Parameters differ from one another only in their use of upper and lower case characters Symbols differ from parameters only in their use of upper and lower case characters All three of these conflicts can, how

New Functions in Version V4.02 Parameters which Differ from One Another Only in their Use of Upper and Lower Case Characters Conflict: Source files containing such interfaces can no longer be compiled without errors. Blocks with such interfaces can be opened, but access to the second of these parameters is no longer possible. When you try to access the second parameter, the program automatically returns to the first parameter when the block is saved. Remedy: To check which blocks contain such co

Selected networks can be cut, deleted, and copied, as well as inserted into blocks of the same language. Blocks in the catalog of program elements can be opened with the right-hand mouse button. If you select a connection in an FBD box or a parameter line in STL and then press F1, a help message on the expected da

If a program is very large, you can use filters to limit the quantity of data to be displayed. This enables you to obtain the information you require more quickly. 8 Creating and Displaying Messages Assigning Value Ranges for Message Numbers Messages are identified by a number wh

New Functions in Version V4.02 9 Debugging User Programs Programming LAD/STL/FBD S7 Blocks: Test Environment for Debugging in Program Status The execution of test functions is dependent on the mode of operation set (process operation or test operation). The mode determines whether test functions are permitted and determines the increase in the scan cycle time caused by test functions. “Process operation”: test functions restricted (see Chapter 3, new CPU parameters). “Test operation”: all te
