Creating and managing a PCS 7 project

5.6 Creating the plant hierarchy

5.6 Creating the plant hierarchy
Introduction
The individual stations have been added and the configuration of the automation system has
been stored in the SIMATIC Manager component view. The plant view is used to portray the
hierarchy of the process structure in the project.
One of the first and most important tasks in a project is defining the plant hierarchy (PH). The
PH is the basis for the outward appearance of the OS runtime or for the integration of SIMATIC
BATCH.
Creating the PH
In the example project "Comp_MP" the PH of the AS projects is structured as shown below:
Create a PH in the "01_Plant_A" and 02_Plant_B" projects for the two automation systems.
You can either create the individual hierarchy folders one by one or generate them
automatically using a script file in the Import/Export Assistant (IEA).
