Preface
The STEP 5, V 6.6 sofware package runs under MS-DOS. STEP
5 can be started under MS-DOS or from Windows.
The package installed on your PG not only contains the STEP 5
application but also the program S5DRV.EXE for installing
drivers and other programs.
This manual explains the software configurations within which
STEP 5 and the appropriate applications and drivers (networks)
can be run under MS-DOS or Windows.
Special hardware configurations and utilities required or useful
with STEP 5 are also described.
The operating systems MS-DOS and Windows are not described
in this manual.
The manual also contains chapters that are only of interest if you
want to use a personal computer (PC) as a programming device
(PG). If you order STEP 5 as a retrofit kit, note that different
software packages are necessary for PCs and PGs. The functions
provided by the packages are nevertheless the same.
You do not need to read this manual from cover to cover. Have a
look at the list of contents or the index to see what you need to
read to find the solution for your problem or task.

When your PG or retrofit kit is delivered, one of the items
included is a Product Information. This contains supplementary
information about special situations and restrictions to the manual
or the product. It should be regarded as a separate part of this
manual, and in case of doubt the information in the Product
Information should be considered as being more up-to-date. The
Product Information should always be kept together with the
manual.
After installing the software, you will find files of the type *.TXT
(for example STEP5E.TXT) or of the type *.WRI (for example
PRODINFE.WRI)1in the directory C:\INFO\. The *.WRI files
contain the product information in electronic form.
You can use the appropriate editor (for example WordPad) to read
or print this information.
1The last letter in the file name is the language code (for example ”D” for German, ”E” for English,
”F” for French, ”S” for Spanish, ”I” for Italien).

Product Overview
The programming devices of the SIMATIC range with their
system software are the standard devices for configuring,
programming and assigning parameters in all SIMATIC S5
automation tasks.
This chapter provides you with an overview of the components of
the STEP 5, V.6.6 software package, the environment in which the
software runs and additional programs you can order extra or can
use from earlier STEP 5 versions.

In the PG 740, for example, the system software Windows 95,
STEP 5, V 6.6 etc. is installed on the hard disk in compressed form
in five languages. The advantage of this for you is that you can use
your STEP 5 software on the PG after making only a few basic
entries. The first time you power up the PG, you can decide on the
language in which the software is to be installed.
The following diagram shows you which components may be
contained in the software on your PG. The actual configuration
depends on the system configuration you have used to install the
STEP 5 package, and on whether you own a PG or operate a PC as
a PG.
