Working with S5-DOS/ST
C79000-G8576-C760-03
Information is transmitted a byte at a time via a parallel interface
(port). This means that the transmission rate is very fast. The
programming devices have one parallel interface (LPT 1).
A partition is a formatted area on the hard disk.
Personal computer
Input/output modules
Programming device
Linking two programming devices directly via a special
connecting cable is known as PG LINK.
See Programmable Controller
Output device for data, texts and graphics. Several printers are
defined as standard printers for PGs. These are, for example, the
Siemens printers DR 201, DR 211-N, DR 230-N and DR 231-N.
The programmable logical controller (PLC) of the SIMATIC S5
system consists of one central controller, one or more CPUs and
various I/O modules.
For SIMATIC S5 the term programming means writing a STEP 5
program.
These are utilities which allow STEP 5 user programs/files, which
were generated under MS-DOS, Windows, S5-DOS/ST or
S5-DOS/MT, to be copied to PCP/M media and vice versa.
