3. Compile the hardware configuration and download it to S7-PLCSIM. After download, the
connection type set in S7-PLCSIM is applied and displayed in the status line of SIMATIC
Manager.
4. Open NetPro. Save and compile your network configuration. Then select your AS and
download the selected station to S7-PLCSIM as well. The PC station does not have to be
downloaded because the communication with the AS is not controlled by the Station
Configuration Editor. Close Netpro and HW Config.
5. Open a CFC and compile the entire program. After loading the CFCs to the AS, close CFC.
6. Select the PCS 7 OS in your PC station and compile it. Click on the "Connection" button

in the "WinCC Unit" column for the Ethernet subnet and click "OK". Then perform all further
steps in the wizard and click "Compile" at the end.

"Unit" tab and check whether "PLCSIM.TCPIP.1" is set in the selection list under "Logical

BATCH configurations there.

the properties. Then load the SIMATIC BATCH server. Make sure that memory
configuration of your CPU and the corresponding allocation used for the recipe logic are
entered and selected for AS-based mode.
10.Save the simulation with the menu command Simulation > Save target system as.
