Features: The S7-300/400 from Siemens is one of the most widely used medium and large-scale PLCs. This book introduces: the hardware structure, performance specifications, and hardware configuration methods of S7-300/400; the instruction system, program structure, and usage of programming software STEP7; the empirical design method for ladder diagrams, relay circuit conversion method, sequential control design method, and the design method using Sequential Function Chart (S7Graph). These design methods are easy to learn and use, saving a significant amount of design time. The book also covers the network structure of S7-300/400, AS-i, and industrial Ethernet, providing detailed explanations of MPI, PROFIBUS networks, point-to-point communication, the configuration and parameter-setting programming of PRODAVE communication software, and PID control implementation using system function blocks. The book includes the main content of the S7-300/400 programming manual and common user manuals. The accompanying CD-ROM contains numerous Chinese and English user manuals, software, and examples. The book introduces methods for learning and experimenting based on STEP7 programming software and PLCSIM simulation software, enabling users to quickly master the use of S7-300/400 without an actual PLC. The book focuses on practicality and emphasizes application, making it suitable for self-study by engineering technicians or as a training textbook. It offers great reference value for users of S7-300/400 and can also serve as a reference textbook for relevant majors in higher vocational colleges.
