Simatic ET 200 PLC configuration: Transfer data to PC|SCHEMATIC Automation
When you use the Simatic ET 200 configuration tool, PLC symbols and article data can be transferred to PC|SCHE-MATIC Automation automatically

The Siemens Simatic ET 200 PLC series is among the most used PLC's worldwide. Siemens has already created a Simatic ET 200 PLC configuration tool, that can create a parts list for the PLC's in the configuration. This parts list can now be imported into PC|SCHEMATIC Automation intelligently.

Then install the Siemens database and the Simatic ET 200 configuration tool, and try it out for yourself.


Cooperation with Siemens: Transfer parts list &
Place PLC symbols
Cooperation between PC|SCHEMATIC and Siemens has now made it possible to import the parts list directly into PCschematic. In PC|SCHEMATIC Automation you then automatically get the corresponding electrical symbols for the PLC's. All you now have to do is to place the symbols in the schematic diagrams. Article data is attached to the PLC symbols automatically.

From the Simatic ET 200 configuration tool
- to PC|SCHEMATIC Automation
To transfer PLC data to PCschematic, just do this:

  • Configure the Simatic ET200 PLC in the ET200 configuration tool
  • Export a parts list from the configuration tool
  • In PC|SCHEMATIC Automation: Import the parts list

In PC|SCHEMATIC Automation, a window then opens, containing all the applied PLC's (The so-called "Show available" window). You are therefore guaranteed to get all of the components from the database, that you selected via the Simatic ET 200 configuration tool.

Place the PLC symbols & lists are updated with PLC data
Then place the symbols in PC|SCHEMATIC Automation:

  • Click on a component in the window, and a new window with all PLC symbols for the component opens
  • Place the symbols for the components in the schematic diagrams
  • Article data are attached to PLC's and accessories automatically
  • All lists in PC|SCHEMATIC Automation can therefore be updated with PLC data automatically

- See how to do it on video.

First you must install the Siemens PLC database
To make all this possible, you must first install the free Siemens PLC database for PC|SCHEMATIC Automation. Here you'll find both the electrical PLC symbols and their article data. This is why PC|SCHEMATIC Automation can give you the electrical symbols automatically, when you import the parts list from the Simatic ET 200 configuration tool.
