In the requirements, we have already said that you require a STEP 7 project for
this example. Below, you will find a brief outline of how such a project is created.
Activity
1. Create a project in the SIMATIC Manager.
2. Insert a SIMATIC 400 station and a SIMATIC PC station.
3. Create the hardware configuration including the network assignment and parameter settings of
the CPs.
4. Save and compile the configuration.
Result: The current configuration is saved in the project, system data blocks are created, the
XDB file is created and any system errors are displayed.
