Basics of "Inter Project Engineering"

Introduction
In this section, you will learn about the benefits of team engineering and how to create the
required CPU data for an HMI project engineer. As an HMI project engineer, you will learn
how to use this CPU data in your project.
Distributed configuration
You can use "Inter Project Engineering" to develop the user program and user interface in
parallel at different locations. The HMI project engineer requires no CPU user program.
There is no need for a STEP 7 installation.
Only tags, blocks, messages and address information of the CPU interfaces are ultimately
relevant for the connection of an HMI device to a CPU. The programmer can conveniently
export this data to an IPE file, which is imported into the project by the HMI developer.
Updates are possible at any time by transferring a new IPE file.
The data are consistent after loading to the CPU and HMI device. The connections to the
CPU created in the HMI configuration remain up-to-date.
Note
You can integrate the new Basic Panels 2nd Generation and Comfort Panels to STEP 7
projects as of V5.4 SP3 with an import into the TIA Portal.
