9.1 System conception
WinPLC7 is a programming and simulation software from VIPA for
every PLC programmable with Siemens STEP
®
7. This tool allows you
to create user applications in FBD, LAD and STL. Besides of a com-
fortable programming environment, WinPLC7 has an integrated simu-
lator that enables the simulation of your user application at the PC
without additional hardware. This "Soft-PLC" is handled like a real
PLC and offers the same error behavior and diagnostics options via
diagnostics buffer, USTACK and BSTACK.
