2-2 System- and communication configuring D7-SYS - SIMADYN D
Edition 03.2001
2.1 Configuring
2.1.1 General description
This Chapter provides instructions and support when configuring
SIMADYN D. It explains the general requirements when configuring
SIMADYN D hardware and software.
It is assumed that the reader is knowledgeable about Windows 95/98/NT,
handling the SIMATIC Manager, HWConfig and the CFC Editor; they will
not be explained in this document. The configuring instructions are
illustrated using diagrams and graphics. These illustrations are intended
to highlight specific features, and do not necessarily precisely illustrate
the CFC window. This Manual does not discuss the hardware (e. g.
CPUs, memory modules, cables etc.), even if hardware designations are
used in the configuring examples; if hardware information is required,
then please consult the "Hardware" User Manual.
This Manual is sub-divided into the following Chapters:
• General description
• Configuring the hardware
• Creating CFC charts
• Operating statuses of a CPU module
• Configuring example for a CPU module
• Using signal transfer mechanisms
• Significance and uses of the process image
• Significance and uses of the CPU synchronization
• Significance of processor utilization
To implement most of the applications, the information in Chapter
"General description" up to the Chapter "Creating CFC charts" is
sufficient. More detailed information regarding special system
characteristics of SIMATIC TDC/SIMADYN D is described in the following
Chapters.
2.1.1.1 Configuring tools
In practice, a configuring engineer can select the required hardware
modules from a module spectrum and achieve the desired technological
functions by generating function diagrams and block diagrams. SIMATIC
TDC/SIMADYN D supports these activities using HWConfig (configuring
tool to define the hardware configuration of SIMATIC TDC/SIMADYN D
stations) and CFC (block technology using numerous standard function
blocks).
