2.2.3 Initial configuration without XDB file
In this case, you specify the modules during initial configuration in the Station
Configuration Editor.
You can transfer project engineering data to the PC station later by downloading or
importing an XDB file.
You can also create project engineering data locally on the PC station and then
import it later into the engineering system (NCM PC). This makes it extremely
simple to create a configuration in the project engineering system that matches the
configuration on the real PC station.
Follow the steps below:
How to Make the Initial Configuration without an XDB File
1 Start the Station Configuration Editor from the Start menu.
(Start " Station Configuration Editor) or by double - clicking on the icon in the Windows
SYSTRAY.
You first see an empty configuration list.
2 Assign the station name using the “Station Name...” button.
3 In the next step, you enter the components.
Using the “Add...” button, select the module that will be put into “configured mode”. All the
modules installed in the local station are not yet configured are displayed for selection.
Caution:
If there are several Softnet PROFIBUS modules, only one can be configured in project
engineering.
