Legal information
Legal information
Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
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.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation for the specific task, in particular its warning notices and
safety instructions. Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of

Product overview 1
1.1 Introducing the S7-1200 PLC
The S7-1200 programmable logic controller (PLC) provides the flexibility and power to
control a wide variety of devices in support of your automation needs. The compact design,
flexible configuration, and powerful instruction set combine to make the S7-1200 a perfect
solution for controlling a wide variety of applications.
The CPU combines a microprocessor, an integrated power supply, input circuits, and output
circuits in a compact housing to create a powerful PLC. After you download your program,
the CPU contains the logic required to monitor and control the devices in your application.
The CPU monitors the inputs and changes the outputs according to the logic of your user
program, which can include Boolean logic, counting, timing, complex math operations, and
communications with other intelligent devices.
Several security features help protect access to both the CPU and the control program:
● Every CPU provides password protection that allows you to configure access to the CPU
functions.
● You can use "know-how protection" to hide the code within a specific block. See the
"Programming concepts" (Page 89) chapter for details.
The CPU provides a PROFINET port for communication over a PROFINET network.
Communication modules are available for communicating over RS485 or RS232 networks.
① Power connector
② Removable user wiring connectors
(behind the doors)
② Memory card slot under top door
③ Status LEDs for the on-board I/O
④ PROFINET connector (on the bottom
of the CPU)

1.5 STEP 7 Basic
The STEP 7 Basic software provides a user-friendly environment to develop, edit, and
monitor the logic needed to control your application, including the tools for managing and
configuring all of the devices in your project, such as PLCs and HMI devices. STEP 7 Basic
provides two programming languages (LAD and FBD) for convenience and efficiency in
developing the control program for your application, and also provides the tools for creating
and configuring the HMI devices in your project.
To help you find the information you need, STEP 7 Basic provides an extensive online help
system.
To install STEP 7 Basic, insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. The
installation wizard starts automatically and prompts you through the installation process.
Refer to the Readme file for more information.
Note
To install the STEP 7 Basic software on a PC running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or
Windows Vista operating system, you must log in with Administrator privileges.

1.5.1 Different views to make the work easier
To help increase your productivity, the Totally Integrated Automation Portal provides two
different views of the toolset: a task-oriented set of portals that are organized on the
functionality of the tools (Portal view), or a project-oriented view of the elements within the
project (Project view). Choose which view helps you work most efficiently. With a single click,
you can toggle between the Portal view and the Project view.
The Portal view provides a
functional view of the project
tasks and organizes the functions
of the tools according to the
tasks to be accomplished, such
as creating the configuration of
the hardware components and
networks.
You can easily determine how to
proceed and which task to
choose.
The Project view provides access
to all of the components within a
project. With all of these
components in one place, you
have easy access to every
aspect of your project. The
project contains all of the
elements that have been created
or completed.

1.5.2 Help when you need it
Finding answers to your questions quickly
To help you resolve issues quickly and efficiently, STEP 7 Basic provides intelligent point-of-
need assistance:
● An entry field provides "rollout" help to assist you with entering the correct information
(valid ranges and type of data) for that field. For example, if you were to enter an invalid
value, a message text box would roll out to provide the range of valid values.
● Some of the tool tips in the interface (such as for the instructions) "cascade" to provide
additional information. Some of the cascading tool tips link to specific topics in the online
information system (online help).
In addition, STEP 7 Basic has a comprehensive information system that fully describes the
functionality of the SIMATIC tools.
Rollout help and cascading tool tips
Entry fields of various dialogs and task cards provide feedback
in the form of a message box that rolls out and informs you
about the range or types of data required.
The elements of the software interface provide tool tips to explain the functionality of the
element. Some of the elements, such as the "Open" or "Save" icons, require no additional
information. However, some of the elements provide a mechanism for displaying additional
description about the element. This additional information "cascades" in a box from the tool
tip. (A black triangle alongside the tool tip signifies that more information is available.)
Hovering over an element of the software
interface displays the tool tip. To display
additional information, simply hover your
cursor over the tool tip. Some of the
cascading tool tips also provide links to
related topics in the information system.
Clicking the link displays the specific topic.
Information system
STEP 7 Basic provides a comprehensive online information and help system that describes

following access points:
● From the Portal view, select the Start portal and click the "Help" command.
● From the Project view, select the "Show help" command in the "Help" menu.
● From a cascading tool tip, click a link to display more information about that topic.
The information system opens in a window that does not obscure the work areas.
