Configuring a PC Station with SIMATIC NCM PC Config
Creating an Image of the PC Configuration
To allow the configuration data sent by the configuration system to be assigned to
a module or an application, it must have a unique identification number. The
identification number for modules, applications, and other components in a PC
station is the index.
You place your applications and modules in slots in a “virtual rack” in HW Config.
This slot number then corresponds to the index mentioned above.

Component Management of a PC Station
Note:
This procedure corresponds to the one already described for the “Station
Configuration Editor” tool.
Notice
Be careful not to confuse this “index” with a hardware slot, for example on the PCI
bus of the PC station. The slot on the PCI bus is not relevant for commissioning
and is not used at any point.
