Hello Haystack; Your information is correct, this appears to be a S7-300 Training case for a CPU 315-2DP. For an illustration of different models of training cases for the S7-300 (of similar generation) see the following link: http://www.plcdev.com/a_siemens_s7_300_trainer The CPU is of an older generation (can't read the exact part number) that has RAM integrated load memory supported by a battery. Depending of the exact part no. of this CPU, it might be programmed with TIA Portal (newer generation software); it certainly can be programmed sith Step 7. There are 2 distinct sections in your training case: - to the left, the central CPU unit, with a 5A power supply, the CPU itself, 2 digital simulation units (they cannot be connected to external sensors and use the rocker switches to simulate input signal changes), an analog input/output module that would read the voltage and current produced by the rheostats (the knobs under the old-style analog voltage and current meters that are used to measure the output of the amalog output modules); -further to the right, you will find a Profibus-DP slave that acts as a remote I/O unit. It is identified as a ET 200M slave, with a IM 153-1 Profibus slave, and a digital simulation unit is connected to it. This type of unit is used to help students and trainees practice programming a Siemens S7-300 CPU, using Step 7 software (these days, Step 7 v5.5 is available: 6ES7810-4CC10-0YA5), and using remote I/O over Profibus. You would also need a programming cable to connect the programming PC with the CPU; easiest and cheapest would be a USB-PC Adapter cable: 6GK1571-0BA00-0AA0. I suggest you contact your nearest Siemens rep. for details of pricing and delivery for the software and programming cable, if you intend to start working with the training case. If you do, we can help provide documents, tutorials and learning material provided by Siemens, and will be here to help you out on your learning curve with this family of PLCs. HHope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hello Haystack; Of course we do. First, basic manuals you need to look at and keep close at hand for your future problem solving on Step 7: STEP 7 FUNDAMENTAL MANUALS:
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/18652511
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/45531107 Next, a well-documented tutorial (self-training modules) by Siemens for Step 7 and S7-300 CPUs; each module is developed with sample programs for your edification. S7-300 TUTORIALS : Finally, here are some links to video tutorials on Step 7 programming, showing various tasks and solutions: Video
tutorials on STEP 7
Finally, this forum gives you access to a huge amount of documents on all Siemens automation equipment and software. Simply use the Search Box at the top right of this page, using appropriate searchwords, such as "S7-300" or "Simatic Manager" or "Step 7 v5.5" in your case; then yse the filter box to choose the right type of document (and limit your search), such as Manuals, FAQsd, Application Examples... Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier
