SIMATIC S7 project overview

Steps to be taken
A SIMATIC S7 project must be created for the basic commissioning of the PLC, the Ethernet
and PROFIBUS communication as well as the input/output data areas of the NC. To do this,
perform the following steps:
● Create a project
● Insert a SIMATIC station 300
● Insert an NCU to the hardware configuration
● Configuring interfaces
● Insert the machine control panel and handwheel
What do you need to be aware of?
Loading the PLC via interface X130 is also possible if the IP address of the Ethernet interface
is known. Loading an archive may always be performed if the communication HMI↔NC is
available.
Note
Loading the PLC (CP840) is essential for the configuration of the data path for saving/restoring
the drive data.
Additional information about the interface signals is provided in SINUMERIK 840D sl "PLC
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109767449)" Function Manual.
Operating sequence
You have started the SIMATIC Manager.
1. To create a new project, select the "File" → "New" menu command in the SIMATIC Manager.
2. Enter the project data:
– Name (for example: SINU_840Dsl)
– Storage location (path)
– Type
3. Confirm the dialog with "OK".
The project window is displayed showing an empty S7 project structure.
