Supplement to the STEP 7 User Manual V4.0
C79000-Z7076-C552-01

The changes to the display and print functions are listed below in detail, with a brief
description of how each function can be used.

Object names, for example, the
description of a CPU can be
stored in the programmable
controller.

Menu command Options 

 Customize;

Option “Save Object Names in the
Programmable Logic Controller.”

These object names are displayed when the
configuration is uploaded to the programming
device and during diagnosis (improved
overview).

Print preview possible

Menu command Station 

Address list can be printed

Menu command View 

 Address Overview;

then click the “Print” button

Or, menu command Station 

 Print; then

select the “Address List” option.

Information on DDB files used is
also printed

When the station configuration is printed,
details relating to the DDB file for each of the
DP slaves are also printed; for example,
revision, revision number, DDB revision,
firmware release, hardware release.

You can use the new menu command Options 

 Configure Network to switch to

the application for network and connection configurations.

The original procedure for supplying STEP 7 with new device database (DDB) files
has been improved. You can now use the menu command Options 

DDB Files and the subsequent dialog boxes to locate the DDB file you require.

Another new feature in STEP 7, version 4.02 and above, is that type files (DDB
files (.GSD)) and DP slave symbols (bitmaps) are now also stored in a project.
When you configure a new station, you can refer back to the type/DDB files and
symbols which were used to create another project (for example, on another
programming device). The new menu command Options 

Files enables you to do this.

The menu command for updating the hardware catalog is now Options 

Catalog, rather than Options 

 Update DDB Files.
