Hello Mike; Along with your Step 7 installation, basic manuals were downloaded to your computer. You can find them under START-->Simatic-->Documentation. I highly recomemend you look at two of them: -Working with Step 7 -Programming with Step 7 Between them they contain most of the answers to a beginner's problems when first encountering S7 PLCs. They will save you a lot of headaches in your new environment. For the ones that come up later, thew forum will still be there... Another source of basic information is the Step 7 tutorials offered by Siemens: http://www.automation.siemens.com/fea/html_76/down_module.htm For a quick answer to the different programming blocks and their use in the S7 world, see the B section, "Datablocks", and "Programming with FBs". Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
