1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration 1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration 1.1 A New Concept for Your Benefit Advanced PC Configuration is the new tool with which you can commission a PC station as part of an industrial communication network. SIMATIC NET supports the option of using Advanced PC Configuration on a central engineering station (ES) to configure not only PC stations but also, for example, operator stations (OS). The engineering station is a networked PC with the SIMATIC NCM PC p

1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration LDB Databases no Longer Required By configuring on a central station and with the option of downloading, LDB databases are no longer required for the DP, FMS, and S7 protocols. Configuration and project engineering data can be exported to XDB files in STEP 7; they must be imported into the central data management on the PC station using the Station Configuration Editor. Note For more detailed information on the differences compared with the previous proce

1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration 1.2 PC Stations in SIMATIC Use of PCs in Automation A “PC station” is a PC with communication modules and software components within an automation solution with SIMATIC. The hardware configuration of a PC station can be compared with the configuration of an S7 controller In SIMATIC: In an SIMATIC S7-400, modules are inserted in the slots in the rack. Slot In the same way, components of a PC station, for example modules, are assigned to a virtual slot per so

1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration Uniform Engineering Environment The PC station is handled just like a SIMATIC S7 controller during project engineering with STEP 7 / NCM PC: You connect the S7 stations and PC stations to the network in the network view and specify communication connections. The project engineering data is downloaded to the stations at the touch of a button. With PC stations, you have two options: Remote Configuration and Download: Direct initial configuration or modifi

1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration Index for Every Component To allow communication between the components in the PC station and to receive project engineering data, each component is assigned a unique identification number. The identification number for modules, applications, and other components in a PC station is the index. Analogous to the slot of a module in an S7-400 controller, the index corresponds to a virtual slot in a PC station. Note Be careful not to confuse this “index” with a

1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration 1.3 A Brief Introduction to Tools and Utilities Once you have installed the SIMATIC NET software, you have the following tools available: Basic tools: Station Configuration Editor With this tool, you insert the modules and components into the “virtual” slots of the PC station and assign them addresses and parameters. Project engineering tool SIMATIC NCM PC SIMATIC NCM PC is a version of STEP 7 specially for project engineering of PC stations. It provides t

1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration 1.4 Guide to Installation and Commissioning Before you start commissioning, you should clarify the area of operation of your PC station and select the required mode for your communication module. The steps involved in commissioning differ depending on the mode you select for your communication module. Below, you can see an overview of the steps involved in commissioning. The sections following then describe the individual steps and tools in greater detail.

1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration Mixed operation is possible. Since you can set the mode for individual communication modules, you can also use the PC station in mixed operation. Mixed operation, in this sense, means the use of several communications modules some in the configured and some in the PG mode. Depending on the selected mode, the information below applies to the individual modules of the PC station. Characteristics of the Selectable Modes The table below shows the differences be
