LDB Databases no Longer Required

By configuring on a central station and with the option of downloading, LDB databases are no longer required for the DP, FMS, and S7 protocols. Configuration and project engineering data can be exported to XDB files in STEP 7; they must be imported into the central data management on the PC station using the Station Configuration Editor.

Note

For more detailed information on the differences compared with the previous procedure and handling the software and modules, refer to Appendix A.
