Getting Started with C7-621-AS-i 5
Introduction
The SIMATIC C7-621-AS-i control system gives you a variety of options for clearly structured, convenient
automation, operation and monitoring of your process. The integrated AS-Interface allows high-powered
automation solutions at the process level.
This brochure shows you how easily and quickly you can solve your tasks with the C7-621-AS-i, the
programming software STEP 7 or STEP 7-Mini
*)
and the configuring software ProTool or ProTool/Lite
**)
under Windows 95. We take a sample assignment from real life and show you how to solve it step by
step.
In self-contained chapters, we explain the essential functions of the SIMATIC C7-621-AS-i, typical tasks
on a sample system, and further tips and tricks.
All chapters are structured as follows:
Þ First the task is explained.
Þ Then the individual solution steps are described, with the help of selected dialog boxes.
Þ Finally, we show you the result so that you can check your own result immediately after each
programming/configuring step.
Conventions:
