1.1 A New Concept for Your Benefit
Advanced PC Configuration is the new tool with which you can commission a PC
station as part of an industrial communication network.
SIMATIC NET supports the option of using Advanced PC Configuration on a
central engineering station (ES) to configure not only PC stations but also, for
example, operator stations (OS). The engineering station is a networked PC with
the SIMATIC NCM PC program or STEP 7 installed.
Characteristics - Comparison with Previous Products
The new features of the SIMATIC NET software involve several changes to the
previous configuration and project engineering procedures and these are
summarized below:
S You can make all settings with one tool during project engineering and
download them completely to the PC station.
The tool is SIMATIC NCM PC or STEP 7. Depending on your system
configuration, you also use the Station Configuration Editor during the initial
configuration.
The functions of these two tools are now so clearly delineated that you no
longer need the aid of a further tool the Commissioning Wizard.
S Properties that you previously configured using the “Set PG/PC Interface”
program are now part of the project engineering and are downloaded to the PC
station. These include, for example, the station address and the bus
parameters. It is no longer necessary to create several databases.
S Properties that were previously specified in various project engineering
programs are now configured in the project engineering in SIMATIC NCM PC /
STEP 7. Examples of such project engineering tools include COML S7, COM
PROFIBUS.
S Configuration parameters for the OPC Server that were previously stored in
TXT files are now configured in the project engineering in SIMATIC NCM PC /
STEP 7 and downloaded to the PC station.
S The OPC server can also handle communication on unconfigured S7
connections in PG operation. This function is, for example, required for use in
HMI stations.
Supported Modules
You will find a list of modules supported and not supported by Advanced PC
Configuration in the “hinw_e.rtf” file on the SIMATIC NET product CD (<CD drive>
/ sw / cdintern / hinw_e.rtf).

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.

1.2 PC Stations in SIMATIC
Use of PCs in Automation
A “PC station” is a PC with communication modules and software components
within an automation solution with SIMATIC.
The hardware configuration of a PC station can be compared with the configuration
of an S7 controller In SIMATIC:
In an SIMATIC S7-400,
modules are inserted in the
slots in the rack.
1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration
In the same way, components of
a PC station, for example
modules, are assigned to a
virtual slot per software.
The virtual rack is implemented
on the PC station by software.
Virtual rack in the PC stationVirtual rack in the PC station

Software - The OPC Server as Central Component
A PC station contains SIMATIC NET communication modules and software
applications. One typical software application with which user programs can
communicate is the SIMATIC NET OPC server.

1 Welcome to Advanced PC Configuration
Uniform Engineering Environment
The PC station is handled just like a SIMATIC S7 controller during project
engineering with STEP 7 / NCM PC: You connect the S7 stations and PC stations
to the network in the network view and specify communication connections.
The project engineering data is downloaded to the stations at the touch of a button.
With PC stations, you have two options:
S Remote Configuration and Download:
Direct initial configuration or modification of a configuration and transfer of
project engineering data to an (online) PC station over an Ethernet adapter.
S Load a PC Station (XDB import)
In this situation, project engineering data is saved to a file and can be imported
into the PC station using any method of data transfer (applies to PROFIBUS
and Ethernet).

Index for Every Component
To allow communication between the components in the PC station and to receive
project engineering data, each component is assigned a unique identification
number. The identification number for modules, applications, and other
components in a PC station is the index. Analogous to the slot of a module in an
S7-400 controller, the index corresponds to a virtual slot in a PC station.
Note
Be careful not to confuse this “index” with a hardware slot, for example on the PCI
bus of the computer. The slot on the PCI bus is not relevant for commissioning
and is not used at any point.

1.4 Guide to Installation and Commissioning
Before you start commissioning, you should clarify the area of operation of your
PC station and select the required mode for your communication module. The
steps involved in commissioning differ depending on the mode you select for your
communication module.
Below, you can see an overview of the steps involved in commissioning. The
sections following then describe the individual steps and tools in greater detail.
1.4.1 PG Operation or Configured Mode - Considerations
When commissioning and operating a SIMATIC PC station, distinctions must be
made between the following areas of application: Depending on the area of
application, select the mode of the communication module.
S PG Operation
This is the default mode for a programming device (PG/PC) and HMI station.
S Configured Mode
This mode should be selected for productive communication between
applications in the PC station and the programmable controllers, for example
SIMATIC S7-400.
The primary use of your PC station
is:
S For diagnostics and maintenance
and for programming and project
engineering (STEP 7).
S For process control tasks (operator
control and monitoring).
It should be possible to use the
station independent of a STEP 7
project.
S For project engineering (STEP 7) in
an automated plant operated with
S7 stations
S For tasks in process control and
visualization.
S As an automation system
networked with programmable
controllers.

Mixed operation is possible.
Since you can set the mode for individual communication modules, you can also
use the PC station in mixed operation.
Mixed operation, in this sense, means the use of several communications modules
some in the configured and some in the PG mode.
Depending on the selected mode, the information below applies to the individual
modules of the PC station.
Characteristics of the Selectable Modes
The table below shows the differences between the two selectable modes and how
this affects handling of the PC station during commissioning and operation.

Characteristics/Advantages when Commissioning and During
Operation
The module used in a PC station in this mode is not included in the STEP 7
project (it is, however, possible to take this module into account in the bus
parameter calculation using the PG/PC station object).
If your module in the PG or engineering station is configured for this mode,
you must specify the interface on the PG or the engineering station explicitly
with the “Set PG/PC Interface” or Configuration Console tool.
With HMI stations, connections to communication partners are set up for
process control over unconfigured S7 connections.
included in a STEP 7 project so that the communication relations with the
stations can be planned in the project.
This has the following advantages:
S Very simple commissioning (initial configuration) by using this
configuration.
S Networking parameters stored in the project are adopted (PROFIBUS).

1.4.3 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.

2.1 Steps in Creating Project Engineering Data
To create the project engineering data, you use the SIMATIC NCM PC or SIMATIC
STEP 7 tool.
Why do we need project engineering data?
To allow the device networked in a plant to communicate, the devices must be
supplied with data on the components and the communication connections. Before
devices can go over to productive operation, the project engineering data must first
be created and loaded on the devices.
This project engineering includes not only the PLC such as SIMATIC S7 stations
but also the PC stations so that the communication relations between all devices of
the plant can be specified. This makes a consistency check and synchronization of
the elements of the system possible.
Apart from specifying the PLC and PC stations and their properties on the LAN,
project engineering also includes defining communication connections and
symbols for process variables on the OPC server.
Result
Once the project engineering data have been downloaded to or imported into the
PC station, the applications can communicate over the established communication
networks with the stations accessible over the network.
Initial Situation
S Case a) Initial configuration using remote configuration with STEP7 / NCM PC
To be able to make the initial configuration on the PC station (available online)
in the next step, you must first create the project engineering data for the PC
station with NCM PC / STEP 7.
S Case b) An XDB file for initial configuration is available
To be able to make the initial configuration in the next step, you must first
create the project engineering data for the PC station with NCM PC / STEP 7
and then make this data available in an XDB file.
S Case c) The initial configuration has already been made on the PC station
Project engineering data is downloaded or imported as an XDB file following
initial configuration.

2 Getting Started “Configured Mode”
Follow the steps below:
Steps in Project Engineering
1. Start the SIMATIC NCM PC from the Start menu.
"
(Start
As an alternative if “online local” : Use the PC Station Wizard
If you want to create the project engineering database on the PC station you are configuring
(online local) and the initial configuration has been made, you can start the PC Station Wizard
as an alternative.
This gives you the option of adopting the configuration data created previously in the Station
Configuration Editor in a new or existing STEP 7 project.
Since we are assuming that we are commissioning the station for the first time, you can select
the following options provided by the PC Station Wizard:
SIMATIC "SIMATIC NCM PC).
S Editing a saved configuration
Open an existing project and compare the local configuration with the information in the
project. “
This adds the current PC station to a project in which, for example, project engineering data
for S7 stations already exists.
S Creating a new configuration
Create a new project and transfer the local configuration to the project.
Tip:
You can also select this option when you want to backup the project engineering data in an
archive. This archive file can be used on an engineering system in STEP 7.
2. Create a PC station in an existing or new project.
Note:
This is omitted when the data is entered by the PC Station Wizard or when an archived
configuration is used (see above).

3. Change to NCM PC Config / HW Config and enter the intended modules and applications (take
them from the catalog).
(omitted if data entered by the PC Station Wizard)
The software applications that use communication services directly must also be specified in
project engineering. One direct use is calling the protocol-specific function libraries. The OPC
server uses communication services directly and must be included in project engineering. OPC
clients only require indirect access via the OPC server and do not need to be configured in
project engineering.
4. Optional:
If symbol tables were created for S7 stations in your project, you can make them accessible to
the OPC server.
When you later import the XDB file or download the project engineering data to the PC station,
these symbol tables are included.
Open the properties dialog of the OPC server to make your selection:
