PrefacePurpose of the ManualPCS 7 Getting Started provides you with an initial overview of the process controlsystem PCS 7 and helps you to create a simple project yourself. You can configurethe project on an existing SIMATIC Station.Getting Started – Part 1 is intended for newcomers to PCS 7 active in the followingareas: Configuration Commissioning and serviceRequired ExperienceYou should already have experience in the following areas: Microsoft operating system Windows 2000 Functions and configuration of SIMATIC S7 (S7-400, STEP 7) Functions and configuration of SIMATIC NET (network components,transmission media)Scope of the ManualGetting Started applies to the "PCS 7 Engineering Toolset V 6.0".Process Control System PCS 7, Getting Started - Part 1A5E00164244-01iii

PrefaceGuide to the ManualGetting Started explains the individual steps required to create the "color gs"project. You will find the most important background information required tounderstand the steps in Getting and detailed instructions on how to work throughthe steps.You also receive the finished "color gs" project as a sample project in the form of afile. This is installed along with the system documentation of PCS 7. You can openthis project on an existing engineering system (ES) to view the configuration dataand compare the data with your own configuration data. You can activate theproject on an operator station (OS) to control and monitor the process.NoteTo test the sample project in the process mode, you may need to adapt thehardware configuration of the project to the hardware that is actually installed; inother words, you must replace the hardware components of the sample projectwith the actual existing hardware components.For more detailed information on opening the sample project, refer to "Starting andAdapting the Sample".Notes on Getting StartedIn Getting Started, all the instructions are explained based on the full menucommands. You can also activate the majority of functions with the contextsensitive menu or by double-clicking.In PCS 7, you can use standard Windows functions in many situations: Multiple selection with the "CTRL" and "Shift" keys Sorting columns in tables by clicking on the column header Using Drag & Drop instead of Copy and PasteIf you open the HTML version of Getting Started, you can open video sequences.These video sequences show the exact steps that you can follow on screen beforeperforming them yourself. Video sequences are indicated by the following icon:VideoClick on the word "Video" to start a video sequence. You can freeze, stop andrestart video sequences. You have buttons available similar to those of theWindows Media Player.One tutorial in Getting Started leads on to the next and you will create a completePCS 7 project yourself step by step. This makes it essential to work through thetutorials in the correct order.ivProcess Control System PCS 7, Getting Started - Part 1A5E00164244-01
