LDB Databases no Longer Required
By configuring on a central station and with the option of downloading, LDB
databases are no longer required for the DP, FMS, and S7 protocols. Configuration
and project engineering data can be exported to XDB files in STEP 7; they must
be imported into the central data management on the PC station using the Station
Configuration Editor.
Note
For more detailed information on the differences compared with the previous
procedure and handling the software and modules, refer to Appendix A.
