● You have downloaded the sample projects from the Internet or have the CD of sample
projects included with the Technological Functions operating instructions.
● You have set up a project for the S7-300 station.
● The PG is connected to the CPU.
● You have an external 24 V DC power supply, an encoder, a drive, and the necessary
accessories, such as a front connector and wiring material.
● You provided hardware limit switches and EMERGENCY-OFF switches for safe and
reliable operation of the system.
