About Siemens Simatic Step
SIMATIC is the name of an automation system which was developed by the German company Siemens. The automation system controls machines used for industrial production. This system makes it possible for machines to run automatically. Depending on the needed function of the machine you have to upload the right program on your Simatic unit. This unit is kept in a control cabinet near the machine.
Function
Simatic is similar to a digital computer which can store and run programs. The Simatic also has some inputs and outputs. The running program on the Simatic controls these inputs and outputs. Both are connected by electrical wires with the machine. That makes a communication between the Simatic and any machine possible. As the case may be the inputs and outputs are set on a ?High? signal or on a ?Low? signal by the program. These are different electrical definitions. Finally these signals are important if an action in the machine happens or not.
About Simatic S7-PLCSIM
Simulation systems provide effective support with the development of programs and the following actual application. In the automation environment, a simulated test environment including PLC and process reduces startup times and thus costs, for example. Early discovery of programming errors and optimization of program sections enable the optimized and errorfree use of the programs in the actual system. If a program is modified, it can be tested prior to loading it onto the plant control system.
