want to use one language version of STEP 5, you can deactivate all
the other installed languages via the submenu Language. Active
language versions are displayed when this menu is called. The next
time you start STEP 5, the language selection screen is no longer
displayed and the program goes straight to the main STEP 5 menu.
Installed but inactive language versions can be reactivated again by
calling the Language submenu in the S5DRV.EXE program.
Procedure The program for changing the language selection is started under
MS-DOS:
Type in the command S5DRV.

C79000-G8576-C760-03 2-11
User Memory Management 3
The management of the user memory is already optimized on a PG
supplied with STEP 5.
If you install STEP 5 later or if you change the configuration of
your system or load other drivers or programs, it may be necessary
to change the assignment of the user memory to avoid errors.
This chapter describes the structure of the user memory and the
standard assignment and explains how to change the assignment.

C79000-G8576-C760-03 3-1
User Memory Management
In the MS-DOS environment, the most important system resources

are the user memory and the storage space on a hard disk or
diskette. The memory configuration and management can affect
the following:
Which programs can be run
How fast programs can be run
How much data a program can work with
3
How much data can be stored between one working session and
the next.
The basic configuration of the user memory is on the motherboard
of your programming device. This can be extended by a memory
expansion card. All programs must be loaded in the user memory
before they can be run.
Your PG has two different types of user memory:
Conventional user memory
Extended memory.
Programs running under MS-DOS normally use the PG’s
conventional memory. To allow programs to use the extended
memory, you must install a memory manager to coordinate access
to this memory.

C79000-G8576-C760-03 3-3
Conventional User The conventional user memory has a standard capacity of

Memory 640 Kbytes in all PGs. Programs can use the conventional user
memory without the special commands required for other types of
memory.
MS-DOS occupies part of the conventional user memory. The
device drivers and commands specified in the CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files take up further user memory space. The
remaining memory is available for user programs.
3
Upper Memory In addition to the conventional user memory, your PG also has a
Area 384 Kbyte memory known as the upper memory area. This area is
immediately next to the 640 Kbytes of the conventional user
memory. This area is normally reserved for your additional
hardware, however parts of it can be made available by a memory
manager.
High Memory Area The high memory area (HMA) is a special 64 Kbyte field in the
additional memory located directly above the 1 Mbyte address.
Extended Memory, Most programs use the conventional user memory. They cannot
XMS use the extended memory because the addresses which identify the
locations of the programs in the extended memory are too high for
these programs to recognize. Only the addresses in the 640 Kbyte
area of the conventional user memory are recognized by all
programs.
You can activate more user memory in your programming device
by installing a memory manager. These programs allow access to
the extended memory and the upper memory area.

3.2 MS-DOS Memory Manager
A memory manager is a device driver that allows access to or

manages certain types of memory.
MS-DOS (5.0 and 6.2) has the following installable memory
managers:
HIMEM.SYS manages access to the extended memory
EMM386 allows access to the extended memory. It also allows
3
access to the upper memory blocks (UMBs).
To install a memory manager, use the DEVICE command in your
CONFIG.SYS file. Although memory managers occupy a part of
the conventional user memory, they make up for this by allowing
access to far greater areas of memory in the extended memory or
upper memory area than they themselves occupy.
Running MS-DOS MS-DOS is usually run in the conventional user memory. This
in the High restricts the conventional user memory available for user
Memory Area programs. MS-DOS can also be run in the extended memory. In
this case, it uses the 64 Kbytes of the high memory area (HMA).
Since few programs use this area it may prove useful to run
MS-DOS here.
Running MS-DOS in the extended memory area has the following
advantages:
Approximately 40 Kbytes of conventional user memory are
released
It uses the high memory area, part of the extended memory
used by very few programs.
The command DOS=HIGH,UMB specifies the area of the user
memory in which MS-DOS will be located and determines
whether or not upper memory blocks will be used.

C79000-G8576-C760-03 3-5
Using the Upper Another way to gain more memory over and above the 640 Kbytes
Memory Area of user memory is to install the memory manager EMM386.EXE.
The memory manager can make available part of the extended
memory area from 640 Kbytes to 1 Mbyte reserved for hardware.
These parts are known as the upper memory blocks or UMBs.
Use: with the command DEVICEHIGH<driver file> in the
CONFIG.SYS file, you load drivers in the high memory area.
3
Setting up a Larger Even when your memory capacity is adequate, you may not be
User Memory able to run a program. Memory-resident programs often occupy
part of the user memory so that there is not enough user memory
free.
Normally this results from having too little conventional user
memory.
In this situation, making use of HIMEM.SYS has the following
advantages:
It makes the extended memory available to programs which use
this memory according to XMS (the EXtended Memory
Specification).
It prevents system errors caused by programs with
contradictory memory requirements.
It allows you to run MS-DOS in the high memory area of the
extended memory.
It allows EMM386 to use the extended memory.
It allows the use of the upper memory areas (UMBs) in
conjunction with EMM386.EXE.

3-6 C79000-G8576-C760-03
Order of the The order of the drivers in your CONFIG.SYS file can be
Drivers important. It can have an effect on the rational utilization of
memory and the problem-free running of various programs.
The following list shows the order in which you should load device
drivers in your CONFIG.SYS file (with the command DEVICE or
DEVICEHIGH):
1. HIMEM.SYS.
Example: 3
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM:SYS /M:1
The option /M:1 stipulates the ROM-BIOS used.
The driver HIMEM.SYS should be the first driver to be loaded
in CONFIG.SYS.
2. EMM386.EXE
Example:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM I=B000-B7FF
I=C800-DFFF X=E000-E0FF I=E100-F5FF FRAME=D000
This command loads the MS-DOS memory manager
EMM386.EXE from the \DOS directory in the user memory. It
manages the extended memory and the upper memory area.
3. All device drivers which use the extended memory.

C79000-G8576-C760-03 3-7
Parameters
RAM This parameter provides you with an EMS
window.
FRAME This parameter indicates the place in the
memory at which the EMS window should
be located.
I=B000-B7FF This 32-Kbyte area is normally intended
for the Hercules software video interface.
3 Since this area is not occupied on your
programming device, it can be used as user
memory.
I=C800-DFFF When your programming device is shipped,
this area is not occupied by hardware. It
can therefore be used as user memory.
X=E000-E0FF If this area is occupied by hardware, it must
be excluded (not for the PG 740 and
PG 760).
I=E100-F5FF The area for the SETUP program can be
used since EMM386 activates the protected
mode and SETUP cannot be run in this
mode (not for the PG 740 and PG 760).
Explanation: I = Include, X = Exclude
3.3 Optimizing Hard Disk Access
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.SYS 2048
SMARTDRIVE is an optimizer program that uses part of the
extended memory to accelerate hard disk access.
The above command loads SMARTDRV.SYS in the upper memory
area of the user memory above the 640 Kbyte boundary. The
number 2048 stipulates the maximum size of the cache as
2048 Kbytes. Values between 128 Kbytes and 8182 Kbytes
(8 Mbytes) can be selected.

4.3 Connecting an EPROM Programmer to the PG
The PGs have an integrated EPROM programming interface. If

you are using a PC as a PG, you can connect an external EPROM
programmer. Various devices are available for connection to the
parallel or serial port.
The device connected to the parallel port is known as the “external
prommer”, the device connected to the serial COM port is simply
called “prommer”.
Parallel Prommer Port: LPT 1

The cable for the parallel connection is supplied with the “external
prommer”. The external prommer has a connection which extends
the parallel port for a parallel printer.
Serial Prommer Port: COM 2 or other COM port

(only with PCs)
The prommer does not have to be connected to operate the PC. The
prommer is supplied with an instruction manual which you should
read before installing and using the prommer.
Select Other COM To set a different COM port (the default value is COM 2), use the
Port program S5DRV.EXE (see section 2.3).

Editing PCP/M Files in MS-DOS 5
STEP 5 user programs and files which you generated in S5-DOS
(PCP/M) can also be processed on your PG/PC under the operating
system MS-DOS. To be able to access a data medium formatted
and managed in S5-DOS from DOS and to copy files from the
DOS data medium, there are several commands (the P Tools)
available.

C79000-G8576-C760-03 5-1
5.1 What the P Tools Do
With the P Tools, you can access PCP/M data media under
MS-DOS. PCP/M data media are hard disk partitions or diskettes
formatted with S5-DOS (PCP/M). This allows you to work with:
STEP 5 user programs/data created under S5-DOS (PCP/M)
using MS-DOS, or
STEP 5 user programs/data created under MS-DOS using
S5-DOS
An emulator allows the S5-DOS basic package with STEP 5
applications to run under MS-DOS (refer to the STEP 5 manual).
Programming device with MS-DOS

PCP/M diskette
The following P Tools are available:
PCOPY copies files from or to PCP/M media.

PDEL deletes files on PCP/M media.
PDIR displays the PCP/M media directory.
PFORMAT formats diskettes for PCP/M.
PSET changes file attributes to PCP/M media.
PTYPE displays the contents of a PCP/M file.
Alternative If the programming device you are operating under S5-DOS

(PCP/M) has an ARCNET interface and the program FTARC is
available, you can connect it directly to the ARCNET hardware
running under MS-DOS and transfer files with the FTARC
program (see Chapter 6).

5-2 C79000-G8576-C760-03
5.2 Using the P Tools
The P Tools are in the \STEP5\S5_ST directory and are started at

the MS-DOS operating system level.
Copying an S5 File It is assumed that the programs are on diskette, in which case you
from S5-DOS should proceed as follows:
(PCP/M) to
1. Insert diskette with or for the S5-DOS (PCP/M) files in a drive,
MS-DOS
for example, A.
2. Type in command and parameters on the PG/PC keyboard, for
example, copy an S5 file with the name EXAMPLE from
diskette = user 0 to the hard disk in the directory \STEP5:
PCOPY 0A:EXAMPLE.CMD C:\STEP5.
3. Press Return. The file is copied from diskette to the hard disk. 5
HELP Function You should be familiar with the PCP/M and MS-DOS file
conventions. You can also get help to explain the syntax via the
help function. Enter the utility program name (for example,
PCOPY). The corresponding text then appears on the screen.
The square brackets listed in the command should not be entered;
these are to distinguish optional parameters. Be careful always to
enter any blanks which are required.
When copying data from PCP/M media to MS-DOS media and
vice versa, no disk cache program should be in use, as is often the
case under MS-DOS. This will lead to errors and possibly also to
loss of data.

C79000-G8576-C760-03 5-3
5.3 Command Syntax
PCOPY Copies files from or to PCP/M media.

The MS-DOS operating system on your programming device has

been optimized to the requirements of the supplied software.
Above all, this means that the existing memory is put to its best

File Transfer
The memory assignment for your PG is described in detail in the

hardware description of your PG (for example, the PG 740
manual).
Memory Normally the memory area from 640 Kbytes to 1 Mbyte (upper
Addressing memory) is available for hardware expansions. By using
EMM386.EXE, this area can be accessed on your PG as a user
memory for STEP 5.
If you install additional hardware in the programming device, you
must once again enable the address range that the hardware uses in
the upper memory area. This involves modifying the
CONFIG.SYS file.
Please refer to the information about modifying the CONFIG.SYS
file in Section 5.1 (STEP 5 Manual).
EMM386.EXE provides two optional parameters (eXclude and
Include) with which you can manage the upper memory area. You
can obtain more information with the on-line help function (HELP
EMM386.EXE). 6
The setting of EMM386.EXE parameters is explained below based
on a few configuration lines (see figure on page 6-2).
Configuration Line If you want to plug in an L2 interface module in the standard

for SINEC L2 address area D000, the configuration line for EMM386.EXE in
your CONFIG.SYS file must be adapted as follows:
Example:
DEVICE = EMM386.EXE NOEMS I=B000-B7FF I=C800-CFFF
x=D000-DFFF X=E000-E0FF
I=E100-F5FF

C79000-G8576-C760-03 6-3
File Transfer
Configuration Line If you want to plug in an H1 interface module in the standard

for SINEC H1 address area E000 (not on the PG 740 + PG 720), the configuration
line for EMM386.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS file must be adapted
as follows:
Example:
DEVICE = EMM386.EXE NOEMS I=B000-B7FF I=C800-DFFF
X=E000-EFFF I=F000-F5FF
The address area for the H1 interface module overlaps with the
internal ARCNET interface module. The ARCNET node number
in SETUP must be set to 0 to release the address area occupied by
the internal ARCNET interface.
Note
On the PG 740 and PG 760, for example, the address area E000 is
not available for interface modules. Only the address area D000 is
available.
6
Configuration Line If you want to plug an H1 and an L2 interface module (with the
for H1 and L2 PG 740 and PG 760 only one is possible) in their standard address
Interface Module areas, the configuration line for EMM386.EXE in your
CONFIG.SYS file must be adapted as follows:
Example:
DEVICE = EMM386.EXE NOEMS I=B000-B7FF I=C800-CFFF
X=D000-EFFF I=F000-F5FF
Once again the internal ARCNET interface must be switched off

by setting the ARCNET node to 0. In this configuration, you have
128 Kbytes less user memory available.
Graphics Memory Under certain conditions, you can compensate for this reduction in
the user memory by using the video memory. This 64 Kbyte area is
only used by graphics programs and is located between addresses
A000 and AFFF (see figure on page 6-2).

6-4 C79000-G8576-C760-03
File Transfer
You can only use this address area if you do not run any programs
in the graphics mode.
You can activate this area with the following configuration line:
Example:
DEVICE = EMM386.EXE NOEMS I=A000-AFFF I=B000-B7FF
I=C800-CFFF X=D000-EFFF
I=F000-F5FF
MSNET / PG-NET Users of MSNET or PG-NET can modify the load batch of their
network software so that as many network drivers as possible run
in the upper memory area. To do this, precede each load command
for the network drivers with the command LOADHIGH (LH).
This makes more memory available in the conventional user
memory.
Configuring the The Ethernet address is no longer entered in the batch file
CP 141 STARTCP, but via the configuration program ECONFIG.EXE.
Change to the directory C:\SINEC\BIN using the following 6
command:
c:\>cd SINEC\BIN
Start the ECONFIG program with the following command:
ECONFIG
With the ECONFIG program, you can assign parameters to the
driver EPORTSCI.EXE (enter node number etc.).
Note
On the PG 740/PG 760, the DEVICE command in the
CONFIG.SYS file must also be extended so that D = 128.

6.2 FTARC for File Transfer via ARCNET
This section is intended for users whose PG has an ARCNET

interface module and who still have the FTARC program from the
previous operating system S5-DOS/ST.
Uses of FTARC The FTARC program is used to transfer files between two
computers directly linked together via the ARCNET interface with
fiber optic cables (point-to-point link).
FTARC versions were previously available for the operating
systems S5-DOS (PCP/M), S5-DOS/ST (MS-DOS) and
S5-DOS/MT (FlexOS). This means that you can also communicate
with PGs operating under S5-DOS, S5-DOS/ST or S5-DOS/MT.
Installation Hardware requirements:

Both devices must have a suitable ARCNET connector.
Connecting cables
6
FTARC is designed for a straightforward point-to-point link.
The devices are linked via fiber optic cables.
ARCNET node number
The ARCNET node number of older interface modules is set
using a DIP switch on the module, whereas the node number is
set on the PG 7xx programming devices with an integrated
ARCNET interface module using the SETUP function
(ARCNET node nos. 1 through 255, 0 = not installed).

Software requirements
– There must be no ARCNET network software already
installed on the device.
– For FTARC under MS-DOS, the device driver ANSI.SYS
must be installed (entry “device=[dr:] [path]ansi.sys” in the
CONFIG.SYS file).
– Windows SMARTDRV must not be installed.
To start FTARC, you require one of the following program files
depending on the operating system:
FTARC.EXE for MS-DOS
FTARC.286 and ARC.DRV for FlexOS
FTARC.COM for PCP/M
Starting the Start FTARC on both devices by

Program
Typing the command FTARC at the command level or
6
Double-clicking on the program file FTARC.EXE under
Windows.
The FTARC main menu appears on the screen (see page 6-10).
The program must only be operated on the local device; the partner
program (on the remote device) runs independently.
As long as FTARC is not started on the partner device, the message
line at the bottom of the main menu shows the status “currently no
connection”. As soon as FTARC is started on the partner device,
the link between the two devices is established.

C79000-G8576-C760-03 6-7
File Transfer
If the link is established successfully, FTARC displays the status

“connected” at both devices and determines, for both the local and
remote partner, the type of device, the ARCNET node number set,
the operating system and the path (user area under PCP/M) under
which FTARC was started. This information is displayed in the
lower part of the main menu.
If the status “connected” is not displayed, although FTARC is
started on both devices, or if an error message appears at the start,
check the installation.
Additional When you start FTARC you can also specify additional parameters
Parameters (from FTARC V 1.4):
ftarc [-tim=<sec>] [-v]
-tim=<sec> watchdog time interval in seconds (standard = 30 secs).

The parameter must be entered identically at both devices.
6 -v verify function on (form checksum). Checksum is formed

for source and destination. If the comparison is negative,
the error information is reported to an error file. The
parameter must be entered identically at both devices.
-? display help text
-h display help text
Notes on operation:
Functions are started by pressing the function keys indicated.
In fields where you can type in an entry, the DEL key can be
used for correction purposes.
To jump between fields, use the TAB key and cursor control
keys.

6.3 Exchanging S5 Program Data between PGs/PCs
Uses of the PG With the PG Link package, you can exchange STEP 5 blocks and
Link Package files between PGs or PCs. For this function, one of the PGs is set
to passive. The active PG can then send STEP 5 blocks or files to
the passive PG or fetch them from it. The PG Link package is
described in detail in the STEP 5 manual.
What is Required To exchange STEP 5 blocks and files between PGs, you require the
for the PG Link? following:
1. A point-to-point link via the TTY interface (COM 1) of the two
devices using a connecting cable. This is described in the PG
manual for your device.
2. The software package “PG Link”. This is part of the STEP 5
basic package and is described in the STEP 5 manual.
PG Interface
COM 1
The data exchange with the partner PG requires an active TTY
interface (20 mA).
6
If the existing COM 1 port is a V.24 interface (PC), the S5 port
must be simulated with a converter (for example, a Köster box).

C79000-G8576-C760-03 6-19

7.1 Introduction
Why Change Key If your PC has a keyboard other than the international standard
Assignments? keyboard or if you wish to assign additional key combinations for
STEP 5, for example add the key combination ALT + N for
segment end, it may be useful to be able to change the key
assignments. If your PC has a standard keyboard (MFII keyboard),
you will be able to work comfortably with the existing key
assignments.
In the default setting of the editor the keyboard assignments are
given in German; you can, however, select another language.

V.24/TTY Converter 8
This chapter is only intended for specialists interested in the
structure and technical data of the interface converter required to
convert the V.24 port of a PC used as a PG to an active TTY
interface.
The data exchange with the programmable logic controller or the
point-to-point link with another PG requires an active TTY
interface (20 mA current loop) as the COM interface.
If the existing COM 1 port is a V.24 port, the “PLC-S5” interface
must be simulated by an S5 converter.
The company Köster GmbH has developed a special V.24/TTY
converter for PCs (known as the Köster box).

C79000-G8576-C760-03 8-1
V.24/TTY Converter
Connection The V.24/TTY converter is connected between the PC with a V.24

port and the PLC. The port on the PC (male or female connector,
9-pin or 25-pin) should be stated when ordering the box. The
second port corresponds to the normal PLC output of the S5
programming devices, so that existing PLC connecting cables can
be plugged in directly.

S5 Package The complete programming device software cannot be loaded into

the working memory (RAM). Thus it is divided according to its
functions into so-called packages. These packages are displayed by
the S5 command interpreter and loaded into the working memory
only when they have been selected. In addition to the LAD, CSF,
STL package there are other packages, for example, SYMBOLS
EDITOR, EPROM/EEPROM, GRAPH 5 etc.
S5 Tools All S5 packages which are based on S5-DOS use the operating
system utilities by calling up “tools”. The tools are a collection of
subroutines which make complex tasks such as reading a file on
diskette or communicating with the PLC possible. The tools do this
by accessing the S5 drivers and functions of the basic operating
system.
Serial Interface Data is transmitted one bit at a time via a serial interface (port),
therefore serial interfaces are slower than parallel interfaces.
SETUP The SETUP is a program for transferring information about the

device configuration (that is, the configuration of the PG
hardware) to the battery-backed memory. The device configuration
of the PG is preset with defaults. Changes must therefore be
entered in the SETUP if a memory extension, modules, a new
