Preface

Purpose of the manual

This manual represents a useful reference and contains information on operating
options, functions and technical data of the S7-400H CPU.
For information on installing and wiring those and other modules to install an
S7-400H system, refer to the S7-400 Programmable Controllers, Installation
manual.

Basic knowledge required

A general knowledge of automation technology is considered essential for the
understanding of this manual.
We presume that the readership has sufficient knowledge of computers or
equipment similar to a PC, such as programming devices, running under the
operating system Windows 2000 or XP. An S7-400H is configured using the

software. This knowledge is provided in the Programming with STEP 7 manual.
In particular when operating an S7-400H system in safety areas, you should
always observe the information on the safety of electronic control systems
provided in the appendix of the S7-400 Programmable controllers,
manual.
