Plant View Structure; Adapting Default Names - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 SMART Getting Started

Initial work for the project
5.5 Working in the plant hierarchy
5.5.3

Plant view structure

Plant hierarchy of the color_gs project
You have now specified four hierarchy levels with the PCS 7 Wizard 'New Project'. As a result,
you will find the following hierarchy folders in the tree view of your project:
● Process cell - level 1
● Unit - level 2
● Function - level 3
● Device - level 4
The names of the hierarchy folders are default names assigned automatically by PCS 7
SMART when the project is created.
For your "color_gs_prj_MP" project, you must adapt this structure to the individual requirements
of the "color_gs" project, change the default names, and insert new hierarchy folders. This
gives you a clear structure and makes it easier to navigate through your project. You can also
treat all the objects as individual units.
The following hierarchy folder names are specified in the Getting Started for the various
components of the plant:
