S Case c) Initial configuration without existing project engineering (XDB
file)
This is, for example, the situation when the commissioning personnel do not
have an XDB file but the devices need to be installed in a plant and their
functionality checked.
Regardless of the initial configuration, the stations and their connections can be
(PC and PLC) can be set up in the project engineering. The project engineering
data is then transferred to the previously configured PC stations in the system.
Depending on the availability of the station, this is achieved by download or
loading the station (XDB import).
To ensure that the configuration on the PC station and the project engineering
are consistent, it is advisable to import the configuration data from the PC
station.
Step
1. Installing SIMATIC
NET software
2. Installing the
hardware (PC
modules)
3. Initial configuration
4. Testing the
configuration
5. optional:
Data export
6. Project engineering
(this is not dependent on
the previous steps that is
necessary for step 7.)

How does it work?
Install the SIMATIC NET software
based on the installation instructions
Install the communication module in the
PC station
Module configuration
Result:
The PC station with its modules and
applications is configured and ready to
receive project engineering data
Configuration Console
Enter the configuration in a new
(temporary) STEP 7 project "PC
station".
Steps in project engineering of the PC
station:
S
Create the PC station in NCM PC
S
optional (see Step 5): Adopting the
configuration from the project
created in Step 5.
S
Enter modules in applications
(identical to changes in the Station
Configuration Editor)
S
Create connections in NetPro
S
Use symbols (in the project
engineering of the OPC server)
