4 Using Additional Functions - Special Features to Note

4.3Further Functions / Special Features

4.3.1Adopting the Project Engineering and Symbols from PROFINET iMap and SIMOTION Scout

You can also use the symbols from PROFINET iMap and SIMOTION Scout with the OPC Server. These symbol files include not only the symbols but other project engineering information so that additional connection configuration for the PC station is not necessary.

Follow the steps below:

Call the relevant export functions for SIMATIC NET OPC symbol files in the engineering programs PROFINET iMap or SIMOTION Scout. Follow the instructions in the corresponding documentation.

Engineering,

OPC- Server

for example,

PROFINET

Export

SIMOTION SCOUT

Symbol File

Edit

Symbol File

Configurator

Transfer the created symbol file to your PC station. You can specify the required symbol file in the “Configuration Console”.

To use the symbols for PROFINET iMap and SIMOTION Scout, you must also select the PC module and with it the subnet via which the PROFINET or SIMOTION partner stations are connected. You make this setting in an extra dialog when selecting the symbol file in the “Configuration Console”.
