symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

Preface 1
Information About the Getting Started PCS 7 - First Steps Documentation
The Getting Started - First Steps documentation uses a straightforward sample project to
illustrate the basic principles of the SIMATIC PCS 7 software components and how they
interact in an engineering and in process mode context.
This Getting Started serves as an introduction and does not contain detailed or background
information. If this Getting Started information has increased your interest in SIMATIC
PCS 7, we recommend you read the
Process Control System PCS 7, Getting Started Part 1 .
Conventions
In this documentation the designations of elements of the user interface are specified in the
language of this documentation. If you have installed a multi-language package for the
operating system, some of the designations will be displayed in the base language of the
operating system after a language switch and will, therefore, differ from the designations
used in the documentation.
Purpose of this Getting Started Documentation
This document aims to guide you quickly and successfully through the basics of
SIMATIC PCS 7. You get to know many elementary configuration steps and develop an
understanding for how SIMATIC PCS 7 functions in the process.
Requirements for the Getting Started PCS 7 - First Steps Documentation
The "fast_MP" sample project can be carried out on any PC or programming device on which
the following software is installed:
● Operating system, Internet Explorer, Message Queuing service and SQL server
(additional information is available in the manual
Process Control System PCS 7;
PC configuration and authorization
and Process Control System PCS 7;
Released Modules
)
● Software package SIMATIC PCS 7 and license keys
● S7-PLCSIM for simulating a SIMATIC S7-400 automation system

Elements of the Getting Started PCS 7 - First Steps Documentation
The document is available in online help format or can be printed out as a hardcopy PDF.
We recommend using the printed PDF for configuration on the PC.
You will find the online help and the printed manual under Start > SIMATIC >
Documentation > English following installation of SIMATIC PCS 7.
To speed up configuration, we have included a library in the form of the archived zip file
"Sim_lib.zip" which contains the ready-made CFC charts.
After SIMATIC PCS 7 has been installed, the "Sim_lib.zip" file is saved in the following path:
<Installation path>\SIEMENS\STEP7 \Examples_MP. For a description of this file see
chapter How to Copy the CFC Charts from the Zip File to the Master Data Library (Page 27).
We wish you every success!
