Creating and Managing Objects
After starting SIMATIC NCM PC, you either open an existing project or create a
new one. You use projects to manage your configurations consisting of all or part
of the stations of your plant.
Objects are arranged in a hierarchical
structure within a project.
For each PC station, you create a
separate object of the type “PC station”.
These objects in turn contain the
configuration and parameter data
of the hardware and software.
These objects are then used to
assign the communications
services.
The objects are created with PC
Config as shown in Section 13.4.
Notice
The name of the PC station you select here identifies the PC configuration.
S
If you configure on the local station with NCM PC, you must select the name
identical to the name in the local configuration.
S
If you configure a remote PC station, the name you select must not be identical
to the local PC configuration! When you download, you would otherwise
overwrite the local configuration.
Tip: You can also adapt names, when necessary, in the Station Manager using the
Station Configuration Editor.
Follow the steps below:
1 Start the SIMATIC NCM PC Manager.
2 You can create the stations with the insert objects function.
3 Opening a station object starts the HW Config tool with which you can create the configuration
of a PC station consisting of modules and applications (see the following page).
