Danger

indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

Warning

indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Caution

used with the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may

result in minor or moderate injury.

Caution

used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may

result in property damage.

Notice

NOTICE used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potential situation which, if not avoided, may

result in an undesirable result or state.

Preface

The SIMATIC MicroComputing software uses the ActiveX (also known as OLE)

technology of Microsoft to provide you with access to the data provided by your

control engine. The MicroComputing software consists of the following:

•

A set of SIMATIC controls, which are ActiveX or OCX (OLE custom controls)

controls for accessing control engines (such as an S7-200 CPU 222)

•

An OLE container (SoftContainer) for creating process forms with the SIMATIC

controls

MicroComputing can also operate with an optional SIMATIC S7-200 OPC (OLE for

Process Control) Server that allows other OPC applications to access the data

stored in the control engine.

Note

As used by the MicroComputing software, the term “control engine” applies to a

processor that manages and manipulates data which is used to control a process

or machine, such as an S7-200 CPU 222.

Audience

This manual is intended for engineers, programmers, and maintenance personnel

who have a general knowledge of S7-200 programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

Scope of the Manual

This manual describes the features and the operation of version 1.0 of the

SIMATIC MicroComputing software.

How to Use This Manual

This manual provides information focused for different audiences. If you plan to

use the ActiveX (OCX) controls in a container application such as Visual Basic,

refer to Getting Started (Chapter 1) and Product Overview (Chapter 2). To use the

controls in Computing SoftContainer, refer to Designing Process Forms with the

SoftContainer (Chapter 6).

Chapter 3 describes how to install MicroComputing. Chapters 4 and 5 explain how

to configure the SIMATIC controls. Appendix B describes the properties and

methods for the controls, and Appendix C describes the events.
