First commissioning of SIMATIC IPCs

3.1

Overview

After you have completed the first commissioning of yoursupported SIMATIC IPC
configuration (Page 7) with the PCU-Basesoftware, you can configure the SIMATIC IPC like
a SINUMERIK PCU.
You can find an example workflow of the first commissioning and configuration in this tabular
overview.
Note
Do not switch off SIEMENS PC systems with Windows 7 on the hardware!
Loss of data may result on Windows-based systems if the system is not shut down properly
before it is disconnected from the power source. For technical reasons, data is still being written
to the SSD shortly after shutdown.
To avoid loss of data, use a SITOP UPS module.
See Configuring the SITOP UPS module for use with the PCU Base Software (Page 52).
