     Hardware Requirements
In order to work with the STEP 7 V5.4 including SP3 software, you need a programming device or a PC with the following minimum requirements for processor speed/performance, RAM and graphics capability:



Operating System
Minimum Requirements for:

Processor
RAM
Graphics
MS Windows 2000 Professional
600MHz
512 MB *)
XGA 1024x768
16-bit color depth
MS Windows XP Professional
600MHz
512 MB *)
XGA 1024x768
16-bit color depth
MS Windows Server 2003
2.4 GHz
1 GB
XGA 1024x768
16-bit color depth
MS Windows Vista Business
1 GHz
1GB **)
XGA 1024x768
16-bit color depth
MS Windows Vista Ultimate
1 GHz
1GB **)
XGA 1024x768
16-bit color depth
MS Windows Vista Enterprise
1 GHz
1GB **)
XGA 1024x768
16-bit color depth
*) At least 1 GB RAM is recommended
**) At least 2 GB RAM is recommended



Use a programming device or PC with the latest performance capabilities if you are editing extensive STEP 7 projects or working with hardware configurations containing several hundred modules (CPUs, slaves, I/O devices, etc.).

In addition, you will need an external prommer for SIMATIC memory cards / MMC if you are using a PC and want to save your user programs to EPROMs and a SIMATIC NET interface if you want to use online functions to the PLC system with your personal computer.

Additional Style” can only be used with a high-performance graphic adapter. It requires:

·         DirectX9 capability

information on Windows Vista:

The “Aero Glass 128 MB separate graphic memory

·         The performance of the graphics system architecture can have a substantial affect on the performance of STEP 7.
