2 Getting Started “Configured Mode”
The “configured mode” should be selected for productive communication between
applications in the PC station and the programmable controllers, for example

This chapter explains how to commission your PC station with communication
modules for this mode for the first time (initial configuration).
In conjunction with the project engineering, we will explain how to handle the data
exchange between the PC station and the project engineering tool.
