Commissioning for Configured Mode - Overview

When commissioning in the configured mode, three situations can be
distinguished. The situation depends on whether or not project engineering data is
already available in the form of an XDB file or whether commissioning is
independent of project engineering (no XDB file).
Initial configuration means the step in commissioning at which the module is
switched to "configured mode" and obtains addresses and network parameters .
S Case aInitial Configuration by Remote Configuration with STEP 7 / NCM
PC
With this method, it is assumed that the PC station and its components and
applications is first created in project engineering in STEP 7 / NCM PC. The
target PC station that can be reached over an Ethernet adapter (online) is then
configured remotely over STEP 7 / NCM PC (applies to Ethernet and
PROFIBUS).
The advantage of this is that the project engineering data and the PC
configuration are consistent and the total effort is minimal.
Step
1. Installing SIMATIC
NET Software on the
Engineering PC/PG
and on the PC Station
2. Installing the
hardware (PC
modules)
3. Project Engineering
on the PC Station
4. Initial configuration
5. Downloading the
Project Engineering
Data to the PC Station
6. Testing the
configuration

How does it work?
Install the SIMATIC NET software
based on the installation instructions
Install the communication module in the
PC station
Steps in project engineering of the PC
station:
S
Create the PC station in NCM PC
S
Enter modules and applications
S
Create connections in NetPro
S
Use symbols (in the project
engineering of the OPC server)
Remote configuration with the menu
"
command "PLC Configure"
Download the project engineering data
with the menu command "PLC
Download"
Result:
PC station is ready for productive communication
