Information About the Getting Started PCS 7 - First Steps Documentation The Getting Started - First Steps documentation uses a straightforward sample project to illustrate the basic principles of the SIMATIC PCS 7 software components and how they interact in an engineering and in process mode context.
Page 6 To speed up configuration, we have included a library in the form of the archived zip file "Sim_lib.zip" which contains the ready-made CFC charts. After SIMATIC PCS 7 has been installed, the "Sim_lib.zip" file is saved in the following path: <Installation path>\SIEMENS\STEP7 \Examples_MP. For a description of this file see chapter How to Copy the CFC Charts from the Zip File to the Master Data Library (Page 27).
