Inserting discipline components into mechatronic components

In the next step, you need to link the existing discipline-specific components to the functional components of the mechatronic model. This allows the Step7 structure to be automatically created from the mechatronic configuration.

Use drag & drop to add the Step7 components SiemensCPU, OB_Cycle, FB_Sequence, and SymbolTable of the Feeder station as components.

  1. In T_Mechatronic_ModularSystem, open the Feeder station.

  1. Select the Step7 components SiemensCPU, OB_Cycle, FB_Sequence and SymbolTable.
  2. Drag & drop the Step7 components as a group in the Components field.

During instantiation, the inserted components are not arranged in a hierarchical level but according to the level configuration specified in the Step7 discipline library (see Task 1 - Creating the Step 7 program for Feeder).Task 1 - Creating the Step 7 program for Feeder).
