Welcome to the "S7-300 Getting Started for First Time Users". Using an example

of a conveyor belt, we will illustrate how easy it is to control a drive motor with an

S7-300. You will use the S7-300 to start the motor, switch the direction of rota-

tion, and then stop the motor again.

To accomplish this, you will perform the following tasks:

• Install the required software.

• Install and wire the required control components.

• Configure the hardware using the STEP 7 Lite software, and download a con-

trol program.

• Start the motor.

The example will take approximately 1 hour to implement, depending on your

prior knowledge.
