It has been adopted as European and German standard EN 61131. It replaces several international standards. PLCopen: The organization Different manufacturers and users of control and program- ming systems have founded the international organization PLCopen, which promotes the use and distribution of pro- gramming in accordance with IEC 61131. PLCopen aims to make application software portable between the hardware of different manufacturers. Siemens is actively participating in PLCopen and has introduced PLC programming to IEC 61131. The certification of programming systems from different man- ufacturers is an important prerequisite for making software portable. To allow this, the standard compliance classes were redefined by PLCopen: •Base Level •Conformity Level • Reusability Level. Independent institutes carry out the test procedures and issue the respective certificates. Siemens has been awarded the base level certificate for S7-GRAPH (SFC) and the base level and reusability level certificate for S7-SCL (ST). 4 Introduction © Siemens AG 2008 STEP 7 Tools and functions STEP 7 contains numerous tools and functions for the most SIMATIC Manager varied tasks in an automation project.

Furthermore, it is used for creating, copying, downloading and archiving of projects. The main components of STEP 7 are: •Multiproject • SIMATIC Manager for administrating all tools and data of an With this function, a project can be generated out of differ- automation project ent subprojects and processed locally by different users • Hardware configuration for configuring and parameteriz- simultaneously.

This data is then systems from other manufacturers available on-site for service purposes. • Open command interface for importing/exporting data from other Windows tools • Creating PROFINET components • The SIMATIC Logon and SIMATIC Version Trail options are PROFINET components are encapsulated programs which available for increased traceability can contain the function of a whole machine or plant. They are used to implement distributed intelligence in the con- text of Component Based Automation.

But this is often extremely important for diagnostics.
