Siemens S5 programming

Shawn Cassidy · Mar 22, 2004

Is there anyone out there with Siemens S5-100U cpu100 programming experiance. I'm using Step5 v7.23 ... Just need to know some of the programming basics. I need to upload the existing program from the PLC. Remove the Eprom then reload the program with a minor change. I realise I need to burn the Eprom using a burner so I want to run the PLC on the ram with battery back-up (no Eprom). Once the program is working I'll have an Eprom burned by my Siemens supplier. I've never used the software and I'm having some problems understanding this software. I work mostly with Omron, AB and Mitsubishi.

You need the manual for that version of STEP5 and I hope you can find it here . I'm not sure if it is already there because it's a very recent version, but the info for versions 7.0 and up would also be useable.

You'll see that the learning curve for Siemens is steeper than for AB, but hang on. Good luck with it.

Kind regards,

Hello,

Since the manual search is temporaly unavailable I'll try to get you started.

When you start up Step5 you see the main menu.

 Select 'PROJECT' enter

             then select 'SET' enter

         Now you can see allot of tabs first select PLC

             After 'MODE' should be OFFLINE 

             Push 'F3' and now it must change to ONLINE assuming

             you have connected your PLC with your PG.

             Also check if your interface is AS511

         In the second tab 'BLOCKS' give in your Program name

             something like [email protected] (only 6 digits)

         enter Now you gave your program a name and your PG is

         connected to your PLC

         

         Go back to the main menu 'esc'

         Select 'FILE' enter

               then select 'BLOCKS' enter

                    then select 'TRANSFER' enter

                    Select from where to where you want to transfer

                    First vink on PLC (transfer from)

                    Then vink on Programfile (and selct the file you

                    just have made ([email protected])

                    Then in Blocklist give in the

                    letter 'B' which means tranfer all blocks.

        now you have downloaded your PLC program From the PLC to 

        your PG



        If you want to change your program dothe following



        Choose 'EDITOR' in the main menu and enter

        then  select STEP5 BLOCK (F1)

          now you can select your block you want to modify

          Source is your file (not your PLC)

          select in ' BLOCKLIST' for example 'OB1' and enter

          now you can see your OB1

        now you have downloaded your PLC program From the PLC to 

        your PG

        To download your program back into your plc just do the

        it the way around.



        If you want to change your program dothe following



        Choose 'EDITOR' in the main menu and enter

        then  select STEP5 BLOCK (F1)

          select in ' BLOCKLIST' for example 'OB1' and enter

          now you can see your OB1 

          You can switch between ladder or logic or AWL with

          Functionkey SCHIFT F5.

        Explaining how to modify your program you have to figure out

        yourself it would take us to far.

If you should have some more questions please feel free to ask.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll be giving this a try on Friday afternoon. If all goes well I should have a good week-end... I got a copy of the manual with the software package but it is very different from the softwares I'm used to. I'll go over the instructions and make sure I fully understand the procedures. Thanks for all your help.

Shawn Cassidy · Mar 28, 2004

Thanks again for the help guys. Everything went well.
I'm looking forward to the Step7 software though... looks a little more user friendly than the Step5.

100U: Using EPROMS

If you use an EEPROM module in stead of an EPROM, you don't need an EPROM programming device; you can burn it by holding down the copy switch on the front of the PLC.
