S5 for Windows provides the tools to create, modify, test, and document programs for programmable logic controllers (PLCs). S5 for Windows is designed to program the Siemens SIMATIC S5 PLC family with STEP5. Function block diagram (FBD), ladder diagram (LAD), and instruction list (STL) are used as presentations for S5. Existing S5 programs can be edited directly without importing/exporting. S5 for Windows is compatible with the original Siemens programming unit. For automatic troubleshooting, the functions of the S5 Doctor are also integrated.
A convenient editor is integrated for creating and editing symbolic tables. It is possible to search and replace according to any criteria, as well as to rewire. A syntax check is integrated. The new and convenient multi-segment editor for creating instruction lists, function block diagrams, and ladder diagrams also allows the representation of complex functions. The focus has been on ease of use with the mouse and/or keyboard. Cross-references and/or corresponding symbol files are displayed with the correct addresses. In this window, the symbol file can be edited simultaneously. The assignment of new addresses with syntax verification is integrated. Statement lists are created with the convenience of the integrated editor. The Windows clipboard can be used for program manipulations or configurations anywhere. Declaration lists can be transformed into function block diagrams or ladder diagrams, to the extent that they are visualizable. The visualization of function block diagrams and ladder diagrams in the form of statement lists is always possible. OsciCAM allows analyzing movement processes by synchronizing previously recorded videos and process signals. The recorded videos can be displayed in a synchronized manner to process signals and a recorded block status of the PLC with time stamp. With the Statusrecorder, dynamic procedures can be explored by means of the subsequent analysis of the block status frame by frame. Statusrecorder records the status of the block and displays it with a time stamp, which allows changing later between the STL, CSF and LAD presentations.
With the Oscilloscope, the diagnostic capabilities of the programming system are further enhanced. Dynamic processes can be monitored and analyzed on an integrated screen, with an appearance adapted from the front panel of an oscilloscope. Pointing to I/O signals with a virtual test probe is sufficient to monitor multiple signals within the virtual oscilloscope. The recording of signals can be stopped at any time to carry out a more detailed investigation of the machine failure. In addition to observing the I/O signals, the status of the local variables can also be observed in a defined position of program execution, simply by pointing to the variable with the test probe in block status. This is only possible thanks to the integration in the S5 programming system for Windows. The recorded data can also be saved for further investigation, for archiving purposes or to send the information by e-mail.
With S5 for Windows, multiple segments can be displayed in the state showing the list of statement representations, the function block diagram and the ladder diagram. The CPU status function provides information on the interrupt stack, the block stack and the system data. S5 for Windows allows calling COM packages. Communication with a PLC can be established via a USB adapter. The Step Sequence Programming of the G5 for Windows (now included in S5 for Windows) is a tool for easily programming sequential steps (sequencer control) within a STEP5 PLC program. A step sequence programmed in a step sequence block (SB) is formed by steps and transitions. The logic of transitions is used to enable the next step. The G5 graphic for Windows step sequence programming supports linear sequences, alternative branches, simultaneous branches and jumps. The steps are shown with boxes. There is a differentiation between an initial step, a permanent step and a selective step. The initial step is used for an unconditional start of the step sequence. The instructions of a permanent step will always be executed even if the step indicator is not active. The instructions of a selective step will be omitted if the step indicator is not active. The transitions are shown as lines. The next step will only be executed if the logic of a transition is true. With a simultaneous branch it is possible to branch up to eight (8) more steps. The graphic visualization of steps and transitions can include comments. With the exception of the initial step, each step can be assigned a time. This could be a waiting time (delay timer) or a monitoring time (watchdog). The G5 graphic step sequence programming is compatible with the SIEMENS GRAPH5 and GRAPH5/II PLC programming package and therefore also needs the SIEMENS standard function and step blocks (FB70/71 – SB0, FB72 – SB2, FB73 – SB3). Simultaneously to the actual step sequence, the logic of the selected step or transition is displayed in a separate window. This logic can be displayed and edited in ladder logic (LAD), control system flowchart (CSF) or instruction list (STL). The size of the logic window can be adjusted. The corresponding Symbolic Library can also be displayed and edited at the same time. The size of the step boxes is adjustable to the size (number of characters per line, number of lines) of the comments used. The status display has the same design as the editor window. Active and corrupt steps are specially indicated.
ATTENTION: leave a valid serial number (S5W -xxxxxx-xxxx) in the message area for each update during the control out. A serial number can only be updated once. The update from V6 to V7 is free.
