Siemens PLC programming support

Siemens SIMATIC software

Every automation project consists of different individual tasks to come to a solution that can vary from programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and distributed I/0, defining communication links and configuring visualisation systems.

Siemens SIMATIC software provides an integrated engineering environment with premium tools for a wide range of operations and applications. AGE has decided to support two of Siemens’ leading software packages: Step 5 and Step 7.

SIMATIC Step 5 PLC

Replaced by Step 7, but is still supported by AGE.

Step 5 PLC: An automation system used for programming, testing, commissioning and for documenting programmes for S5 PLCs.

• It controls process equipment & machinery used in manufacturing.

SIMATIC Step 7 Programming Software

Has various editors & functions for a variety of tasks in an automation project.

• SIMATIC Step 7 Basic Software: Programming software for automation systems SIMATIC S7/SIMATIC C7/Software PLC SIMATIC WinAC.
• SIMATIC S7 GRAPH – Programming of sequential controls.

Describing procedures with alternative or parallel step sequences.

• SIMATIC S7-SCL – Structured control language.

Programming complex algorithms & arithmetic functions for data processing tasks.

• SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM – PLC simulation tool

Simulates a control for functional testing of user blocks and programmes for S7-300 and S7-400
