Hallo!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report a problem with the STEP 7 Professional V13 SP1 System Manual. May be it isn't.

Pages 252 and 253 (pages 9232 and 9233 of the .pdf file) from "Visualize process"--> "Working with alarms" should be corrected, because the pictures are placed over the text. And may be entire file should be checked for similar or other problems...

i think he mean this:

yes, you said right. this is the hidden text in page 9232:

1. Creating alarm groups

You assign the alarms of your project to alarm groups according to their association, such

as by the cause of the problem (power failure) or source of the error (Motor 1).

2. Configuring Loop-In-Alarm

A Loop-In-Alarm is configured in order to change to a screen containing relevant information

on an alarm received.

The articles published by Siemens now have a a feedback section.
I can assure you that the Siemens guys do read their feedback notes.


It may be best to mention you findings there, as this is a user's forum. There is no guarantee that the right persons will see your comment about the manual when it is written here.
