Hello SM; PCS7 uses a comination of SFC/CFC as engineering tools on the AS (SCL required in the background). Although CFC is offered as a Step 7 engineering tool, SFC is not. The standard stand-alone SFC tool for Step 7 (outside of PCS7 ) is named S7-Graph . you will find more information about it here: https://mall.automation.siemens.com/WW/guest/index.asp?nodeID=5000144&lang=en S7-Graph isone of the 5 PLC languagesof IEC 61131-3; as such, it differs from the PCS7 implementation of SFC. I have used it in different applications, and I find it very useful for sequential systems. Siemens offers S7-Graph also as part of its Step 7 Professional offering (Step 7 Basis + SCL + S7-Graph + S7-PLCSim). See here: https://mall.automation.siemens.com/WW/guest/index.asp?nodeID=5000906&lang=en Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
