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.

combinations (ALT +D +S or ALT + TAB), menu commands
(File →Save) and buttons (OK) are shown in bold print and in
brackets as in these examples.
DOS commands can also be typed in lower case letters.
Commands are triggered by pressing the Enter key.
References to sections or chapters, dialog box titles and field
names in dialogs are enclosed in “inverted commas”.

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.

2.1 Contents of the Package
The exact content of your system software is listed in the Product
Information which is supplied either with your new PG or with
your retrofit package for STEP 5.
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) in the C:\INFO\ directory. You can use the
appropriate editor (for example EDIT or WordPad) to read or print
this information. These files contain detailed information on the
individual software components.
Using the MS-DOS command
TYPE STEP5E.TXT | MORE
you can display the file STEP5E.TXT page by page.
You can enter MS-DOS commands with the option /? to display
brief information about the function and the permitted options.
Under Windows,you can obtain help on the current function at any
time by pressing F1. You can also obtain information from the
entries in the Help menu.
On PGs, you can also display help texts on the current function
under STEP 5 by pressing SHIFT +F8 or the Help key
(PG 730/750/770).
This Help key has been replaced on the PG 720 and PG 740 by the
keys Fn+F1.

2.2 Installing the STEP 5 Basic Package
If you have purchased a new programming device from Siemens,
the system software together with STEP 5 is already installed on
the programming device in compressed form in five languages.
After you have set up your programming device and turned it on, a
menu is displayed in which you can select the language in which
you want to install the system software. The remaining steps of the
installation are also menu-driven.
The most important information about the retrofit package can be
found in the accompanying Product Information.
When ordering, please remember that there are different packages
for PGs and PCs.
The following conditions must be met if you want to install
STEP 5 on your PG or PC:
Hardware:
– Hard disk:
You require a hard disk partition with at least 10 Mbytes of
free memory.
– RAM:
You need at least 640 Kbytes
(1 Mbyte is recommended)
Operating system;
– MS-DOS 5.0 or 6.2
– Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11
