SINUMERIK 840Di sl Manual (HBIsl) – 01/2007 Edition
6.1.5 STEP 7 example projects
Included in the scope of supply for the SINUMERIK 840Di sl system software
are two STEP 7 projects, on which the basic configuration of the SINUMERIK
840Di sl Station and an MCP (PROFIBUS/Ethernet) is displayed. The example
projects can be used as a basis for your own projects.
The example projects are on the SINUMERIK 840Di sl CD under:
S Example project with PROFIBUS MCP:
<CD path>\support\840dismp\840Di_sl_DPMCP_smpl.zip
S Example project with Ethernet MCP:
<CD path>\support\840dismp\840Di_sl_ETMCP_smpl.zip
Example programs must first be dearchived in the SIMATIC Manager before
they can be used. SIMATIC Manager: File > Dearchive...
The example projects can be dearchived to the default target directory:
”S7Proj”.
The example projects are listed in the SIMATIC Manager under user projects if
the target directory: ”S7Proj” is retained. SIMATIC Manager: File > Open... >
Dialog box: ”Open project” > Tab: ”User projects”
S Example project with PROFIBUS MCP: 840Disl_DPMCP
station
S Example project with Ethernet MCP: 840Disl_ETMCP
The communication link from SIMATIC STEP 7 to the SINUMERIK 840Di sl PLC
must be checked and established before loading an example project.
S External connection
The PG/PC on which SIMATIC STEP 7 runs, can be connected to the
SINUMERIK 840Di sl PLC via the MPI connection of the MCI board or via
one of the Ethernet interfaces (Ethernet 1: company network or Ethernet 2:
local network) of the PCU.
– MPI connection
The MPI interface of the MCI board is already configured in both exam-
ple projects. Configuring the PG/PC interface is described in Section
6.2.3, Page 6-135.
– Ethernet connection
Configuring the PG/PC interface is described in Section 6.2.2, Page
6-135. Configuring the communications processor (CP 840D sl) of the
SINUMERIK 840Di sl is described in Section 6.3.8, Page 6-145.
S Internal connection
A local SIMATIC STEP 7 installed on the SINUMERIK 840Di sl is linked via
the preset local ”SOFTMC” communications link with the SINUMERIK
840Di sl PLC. Configuring the PG/PC interface is described in Section 6.2.4,
Page 6-136.
