STEP7-Micro/WIN32 V3.2 Programming Software
Siemens STEP 7-Micro/WIN is the surprisingly affordable, easy-touse software for the S7-200 PLC's. The simpleness, flexibility, and
power of this programming tool astonishes PLC programmers.
Add-On Library
With STEP7-Micro/WIN software, you have a complete development environment for all phases of the application including program development, documentation, and machine startup. The
software is easy to learn and easy to use since it adheres to the
Windows programming standards. If you know Windows, then you
already know how to get started with STEP7-Micro/WIN. The
straightforward project structure and screen layout, the drop and
drag instruction tree, the comprehensive help system, and the
world-class printing use common Windows interfaces that help
maximize engineering productivity. Flexible and instantaneous
switching between Ladder Diagram, Function Block, and Statement List editors allows the program logic to be viewed and edited
in the programming language of your choice. IEC 1131 is also
supported. The powerful collection of STEP 7-Micro/WIN wizard
configuration and library tools are un-matched by any other micro
PLC programming package. Configuration and programming of
PLC tasks for PID, TD200 HMI, Positioning, Ethernet Modem communications, PLC-to-PLC communications, etc. reduce configuration and programming times by over 50%. User-defined libraries
are another time-saving, productivity tool in STEP 7-Micro/WIN.
Your code can be re-used, password protected, and ported between projects with your own customized, user-defined library investments.
STEP 7-Micro/WIN Add-On Instruction Library
STEP 7-Micro/WIN Add-On Instruction Library includes a set of libraries to simplify interfacing the S7-200 micro PLC's to third-party
devices. Based on your application needs, you simply supply the
necessary instruction (subroutine call) parameters. The code is already written for you. This concept reduces your setup time to
minutes instead of days! The latest instruction library includes the
improved USS Micro-master 3/4 4 drive interface instructions, plus
a set of MODBUSâ interface instructions.

The TP Designer software is used to configure the TP070 Touch
Panel display screens. This package provides "what you see is
what you get" look of the TP screens as you build them. The configuration interface has the same intuitive look-and-feel as the
STEP 7-Micro/WIN software so that programmers can use the software without additional training.
