Configuration in STEP 7
5.2 Creating a project in the SIMATIC Manager
Downloading the SDBs to a TIM
Note
The SDBs of a TIM can be stored on the TIM or the S7-300 CPU (not on stand-alone TIMs).
This is decided during the parameter assignment of the module (properties dialog of the TIM
> "Options" tab).
If you decide to store the SDBs on the TIM, the SDBs must be transferred to the module as
described above. If the SDBs are stored on the CPU, it is not necessary to transfer the SDBs
separately. The TIM receives the SDBs from the CPU during the common startup of the
modules in the S7-300 rack.
With the TIM 3V-IE DNP3 and TIM 4R-IE DNP3, the SDBs are transferred to a TIM via the
MPI interface of the CPU or via the Ethernet interface of the TIM.
The SDBs may only be transferred after the TIM has completed its startup. The TIM's LEDs
indicate when startup is completed. You will find more detailed information in the section
Commissioning the TIM (Page 70).

Creating a project in the SIMATIC Manager
The first step in configuring a new installation is to create a new project in the STEP 7
SIMATIC Manager
installation. You create the project in the SIMATIC Manager by selecting the
menu and entering the name of the project.
5.3
Copying projects in the SIMATIC Manager
In the SIMATIC Manager, you can copy entire projects by saving them under a different
name (File / Save As... menu). After selecting the function, the dialog for saving the project
opens in which you enter the name and storage path.
● "With reorganization" option
When you save, you can also select the With reorganization copy option.
Note
Copying projects with / without reorganization
When you copy projects with reorganization, the subscribers and connection data are not
copied. These must be reconfigured following the copy function.
If you copy projects without reorganization, the telecontrol configuration data is also
copied. There are no disadvantages of using this variant.
The without reorganization variant is preferable.
