If possible, develop your IO list in a compatible format Alternatively, build a tool to convert it to a compatible format For example, thousands of IO can be added into the symbol list in a few minutes. We’ve reduced >10 min compile times to PageĪuto-Generate Symbol Table The S7 PLC symbol table allows copy/paste directly from a spreadsheet such as MS Excel. RAM Disk is orders of magnitude faster than other forms of storage media. RAM Disk is RAM that is used as a disk drive – via 3 rd party software. RAM Disk When compiling an S7 project, many small files are read and written. Configure alarm viewer to include “S7 Alarms” Activate the check boxes in CPU Messages from Simatic Manager Start WinCC flexible and enjoy your diagnostic messages!
