SIMATIC S7-300 Getting Started for First Time Users
Getting Started, 04/2007, 6ZB5310-0NC02-0BA0
Welcome to the “S7-300 Getting Started for First Time Users”. Using an example
of a conveyor belt, we will illustrate how easy it is to control a drive motor with an
S7-300. You will use the S7-300 to start the motor, switch the direction of rota-
tion, and then stop the motor again.
To accomplish this, you will perform the following tasks:
• Install the required software.
• Install and wire the required control components.
• Configure the hardware using the STEP 7 Lite software, and download a con-
trol program.
• Start the motor.
The example will take approximately 1 hour to implement, depending on your
prior knowledge.
