The S5 for Windows® is an excellent software tool for creating, modifying, testing, and documenting programs for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). S5 for Windows® is used to program the Siemens PLC family SIMATIC® S5 with the programming language STEP® 5. The logic presentation is available in Ladder Diagram (LAD), Control System Flowchart (CSF), Statement List (STL), and Graphical Step Sequence (G5 for Windows®) for programming, editing, and testing. Import and Export Functions are available to convert existing programs in the S5 for Windows® format and vice-versa.

 

 

Creating and Editing

The Editor, integrated under S5 for Windows®, can create, modify, and manage the contents of an entire Symbol Library, as well as search and replace functions with multiple criteria. This Editor provides the same easy to use tools as supplied with other Windows applications. The function "Rewire" is extremely easy to use. A Syntax check for existing addresses, absolute or symbolic is also integrated.
The Editor, when used to create Ladder Diagrams or Control System Flowchart, can display complex functions. Special care has been taken to allow easy operations with the Mouse and / or the Keyboard. A Cross Reference List and / or the corresponding Symbol Library with the correct address is displayed simultaneously. The Symbol Library may be edited in its own window simultaneously. The allocation of new addresses with a syntax check is integrated.
Statement Lists may be created with the same easy to use tools of the Symbol Editor. The Windows Clipboard with the Cut-, Copy-, and Paste Functions is supported for easy Statement List manipulation. Statement Lists may be converted to Ladder Diagrams or Control System Flowchart, if they can be displayed. Converting Ladder Diagrams or Control System Flowchart into Statement Lists is always possible.

Documentation

S5 for Windows® supports the installed Windows Printer. The program created will be printed with multiple comments and preset headers and footers. The selection of font and size are obvious. A separate dialog box is provided to select groups of operands to be printed as a Cross Reference list. Open windows, such as the status window, may also be printed.
