To master automation configuration, especially for Siemens products, which software programs should be learned at the same time?

S7200, S7300, S7400, WINCC, and some common monitoring software. There is also relevant control knowledge and electrical knowledge.

The PLC system is roughly as described above; in fact, Siemens also produces DCS systems. On-site instruments, valve positioners, and high/low voltage power distribution equipment.

SIMATIC Manager: project creation, library creation, project management, and diagnostics. 2. PH: Plant Hierarchy (factory hierarchy). Used for factory-level design. 3. HW Config: Hardware Configuration Environment (hardware configuration setting). Used to configure the CPU, communication processor, peripheral devices, and field buses, etc. 4. CFC: Continuous Function Chart. Used for designing libraries, automation logic, interlocks, algorithms, and controls, etc. 5. SFC: Sequential Function Chart (sequential function diagram). Used for designing sequence control, logic, and interlocks, etc. 6. SCL: Structured Control Language. Used for writing algorithm programs and creating function blocks, etc. 7、IEA: Import Export Assistant (Import/Export Assistant). Used to generate control models, process tag types, and copies. 8. WinCC: Windows Control Centre. PCS 7 operator interface and visualization. 9. Graphics Designer editor (graphic editor): Design of images, graphic objects, and animations. 10. Commissioning Wizard: When the PC is restarted, the commissioning wizard automatically detects the newly installed SIMATIC modules (plug and play) and guides the user step by step through the installation and configuration of the PC station. 11. Configuration Console: The configuration console allows you to change settings after the Commissioning Wizard has been run. Used to configure access points. 12. Station Configurator: Displays the actual PC configuration established in the PCS 7 system. 13. Multiproject: In the SIMATIC Manager, you can create projects (single project) or multiple projects. A multi-project can include several projects and a main database. 14. Master data library: A master database is associated with multiple projects. It is different from other system or application-specific libraries; a single main database exists across multiple projects, collecting all the functional types used by those projects. 15. Process Object View: Many objects are created in the configuration. The process object view contains all the configuration details of a project. These objects can be displayed in the view and edited. 16. SIMATIC NET: The debugging wizard, configuration console, and station configurator are the interfaces of SIMATIC NET. SIMATIC NET is a platform for configuring network and bus systems in SIMATIC projects. Configuring a PCS 7 project in ES can be divided into 2 phases: AS engineering (AS configuration) and OS engineering (OS configuration). The AS configuration includes the design of factory-level settings, function blocks, CFCs, SFCs, as well as hardware and communication component configurations. Using the “Compiling OS” function, the project data for the OS configuration can be obtained automatically. OS configuration is for designing operational functions and graphics.

With PCS7, things are basically taken care of. There’s also an S7200, haha.

STEP7 WINCC PCS7 MICROWIN, the first two are the most commonly used

Currently, SIEMENS uses PCS7 quite frequently. PCS7 is an extension of SETP7 and WINCC.
