Example with Siemens S7

The project used in this example consists of three S7 projects and a standard library. The standard library blocks are used in all S7 projects. The names of the S7 projects are:

  • PL1 SM 36 cells
  • PL2 SM 60 cells
  • PL3 SM 72 cells

The standard library is called S7 standard library solar modules 36-72.

The S7 project PL1 SM 36 cells is checked to see whether any changes have been made.

Integrating a standard library

  1. In the UserClient, create a directory named S7 Standard libraries solar modules.
  2. Create a component named S7 Standard libraries solar modules 36-72 based on the Simatic S7 Library component type.
  3. Copy the S7 project existing in the S7 Standard libraries solar modules 36-72 component into the Project tree.
  4. Create a new version and check it in.

Repeat this process as required to create further standard libraries for S7 projects.

Integrating an S7 project

  1. In the UserClient, create a directory named S7 Standard libraries solar modules.
  2. Create three Simatic S7 components named PL1 SM 36 cells, PL2 SM 60 cells and PL3 SM 72 cells.
  3. Copy the respective S7 projects to the corresponding components located in the Project tree.
  4. Create a new version for each component and check it in.

Repeat this process to integrate additional S7 projects if necessary.

Assigning a standard library to the projects

  1. In the Project tree in the UserClient, select the component named PL1 SM 36 cells.
  2. In the Edit component configuration dialog, select Assign standard libraries.
  3. In the Assign standard libraries dialog, under Locally available standard libraries, select the S7 standard library Solar module 36 to 72.
  4. Add the selected standard library in the LibraryManagement field assigned to the component using the !Icon Arrow R button.
  5. Confirm with OK.
  6. In the Component configuration dialog, select Apply.
  7. Create a new version and check it in.

Repeat the process for the PL2 SM 60 cells and PL3 SM 72 cells components.
