Designated use
Function block SPC200−PC" serves for reading and writing
parameters of the SPC200 from a Simatic S7 controller with
PROFIBUS. For this purpose it uses the SPC200 parameter
channel (PC = parameter channel). The SPC200 must be
connected to the S7 by means of field bus module type
SPC200−COM−PDP.
Basic components and modules for the SPC200 are described
in the user manual type P.BE−SPC200−... . The safety
instructions specified in the manuals must always be
observed and the relevant components and modules must
only be used as intended. Please observe also the safety
instructions listed in the operating instructions for the
pneumatic components used. The SPC200 and the modules
and cables to be connected are only to be used as follows:
inaccordance with designated use
 only in industrial applications
 without any modifications by the user. Only the conver
sions or modifications described in the documentation
supplied with the product are permitted.
infaultless technical condition.
When used together with commercially available compo
nents, such as sensors and actuators, the specified limits for
pressures, temperatures, electrical data, torques etc. must be
observed. National and local safety regulations must also be
observed.
Note also the Siemens specifications regarding the use of
their PLC Simatic S7.

Basic principles of programmed software
Please note that it is not possible with the present state of
technology to create programmed software which functions
without problems and is compatible with all applications and
combinations intended by the user.
As a rule the software must therefore be used in the desig
nated manner as specified in the program description and in
the user instructions.
At the moment when the software is transferred or made
available, it is in a state in which it will function under normal
operating and application conditions.
Festo does not guarantee that the software will suffice for all
applications and purposes intended by the user, or that it will
function without problems when used with other programs,
or that it is compatible with these programs. The responsibil
ity for the correct selection and the consequences of using
the software within the scope of use defined by the user, as
well as for the intended and achieved results therefore lies
with the user. The same applies to the written material sup
plied with the software.
The use of the programmed software does not exempt you as
customer from your duties and responsibility for observing
and adhering to technical machine and safety regulations as
well as for a comprehensive functional check.
Target group
This manual is intended exclusively for technicians trained in
control and automation technology, who have experience in
installing, commissioning, programming and diagnosing
PROFIBUS−DP slaves.
