3.4 Creating the Drill Project in the SIMATIC Manager
Creating a Project
Projects for sequential control systems do not differ from other projects in STEP 7.
To create a new project in the SIMATIC Manager, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Select the menu command File > New.
2. Name the project “Drill".
Inserting an S7 Program
In this example, hardware configuration is unnecessary since the default
addressing of the input/output module in slot 4 is used. You can therefore
immediately insert an S7 program in the project folder in the SIMATIC Manager.
The S7 program serves as a folder for the blocks of the user program, the source
files and the symbols. Follow the steps below:
1.
Select the “Drill" project.
2.
Select the menu command Insert > Program > S7 Program.
3.
Name the S7 program “Drill Program".
The folders for source files, blocks and symbols are created automatically when
you insert an S7 program. An empty OB1 is also created in the Blocks folder.
