Sharing Out Configuration Work - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Configuration Manual

Creating and managing a PCS 7 project

5.7 Sharing out configuration work

5.7 Sharing out configuration work
Introduction
Engineering management within a multiproject without any division of labor is a standard
practice.
However, if the goal is to shorten the configuration time by working in parallel, as of PCS 7
Version 7.0 SP1 the question of the most suitable method arises, because multi-user
engineering has now been introduced as well as multiproject engineering.
Multiproject engineering
Individual projects can be allocated to distributed engineering stations for rapid and flexible
AS configuration. PCS 7 offers the appropriate system functions for managing, distributing and
merging the projects. Projects can be separated from the multiproject in order for them to be
processed on other engineering stations, e.g. in an office environment. Once they have been
processed these projects are reintegrated into the central multiproject of the plant.
