How to add a SIMATIC H station to your project

Introduction
The SIMATIC H station is contained in the hardware catalog of HW Config as a stand-alone
station type. This station type is required if you want to configure two central devices each with
a H CPU, thereby configuring the entire process control system with redundancy.
The direct connection of a singular CPU to the redundant, fault-tolerant plant bus is possible
with a CPU 410H.
Procedure
1. Open your PCS 7 project in the component view of SIMATIC Manager.
2. Select the menu command View > Component View.
3. Select the project.
4. Select the following menu command: Insert > Station > SIMATIC H Station.
5. Click the inserted SIMATIC H station.
