Overview of simulation software for SIMATIC PCS 7 

Using the S7-PLCSIM simulation software, user programs cre-

ated with CFC/SFC can be tested on a PG/PC, regardless of 

whether the target hardware is available. The detection and 

elimination of errors is thus brought forward into an early phase 

of development. This results in faster commissioning, lower 

costs and better program quality.

■

S7-PLCSIM simulates a SIMATIC S7 CPU with the associated 

process images. The program to be tested is loaded into the 

simulated S7 CPU in a manner identical to the procedure with 

real hardware, and is executed there. S7-PLCSIM is completely 

integrated in STEP 7. Process data can be exchanged between 

S7-PLCSIM and other Windows applications via an interface.
