Printing Program Data - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Operating Manual

Changes, tracking changes, and acceptance

9.7 Printing program data

The signatures shown in the "Edit Safety Program" window do not need to match the
signature in the AS. It may, for example, be possible that the most recent changes were
compiled, but not downloaded and checked.
For this reason, you must also check the signature in the AS.
● To do this, go online in CFC and open the @F_Shtdn chart.
● While online, you can view the signature of the safety program in the AS at output
F_SIG_OUT of the F_SHUTDN block.
For change tracking purposes, it is worth manually documenting both the signature value of
the safety program and the name of the project backup in a log file.
9.7 Printing program data
You can use the "Edit Safety Program" dialog box to view, compare, and document many of
the attributes of the safety program. It lists all the blocks that are contained in the safety
program. F-runtime groups and charts can also be displayed.
Here, you will also find options for documenting the current safety program:
If you want to print all the charts, select the "Chart (standard and F-chart)" option. Individual
charts or all F-charts can be printed from the SIMATIC Manager. If the printout is made from
the "Safety Program" window, a footer containing the F-system version and the program
signature is printed on each page.
