Introduction 
This document explains the basic principles of using the PCS 7 Library for Soft Starter 
3RW44. The PCS 7 Library for Soft Starter 3RW44 is designed according to APL standards 
for both, blocks and faceplates. This library contains CFC templates to fulfill the control 
function of a Soft Starter device.  
For reducing configuration time, a module driver generator is included with this library. By 
using this driver generator it is ensured that all necessary interconnections will be handled 
automatically by the system and the device is ready to operate in PCS 7 environment.  
Custom configuration can be done by the user as well. User manual and online help will give 
detailed information about the blocks and their input and output pins.  
This document will guide you through the necessary steps for using the template and the 
module driver generator in a PCS 7 environment using a sample project. This sample uses 
minimum hardware, single station, one PLC connected to one Soft Starter via PROFIBUS.
