13 SIMATIC NCM PC Project Engineering Tool
Creating and Managing Objects
After starting SIMATIC NCM PC, you either open an existing project or create a new one. You use projects to manage your configurations consisting of all or part of the stations of your plant.
Objects are arranged in a hierarchical structure within a project.
For each PC station, you create a separate object of the type “PC station”.
These objects in turn contain the configuration and parameter data of the hardware and software.
These objects are then used to assign the communications services.
The objects are created with PC
Config as shown in Section 13.4.

Notice
The name of the PC station you select here identifies the PC configuration.
SIf you configure on the local station with NCM PC, you must select the name identical to the name in the local configuration.
SIf you configure a remote PC station, the name you select must not be identical to the local PC configuration! When you download, you would otherwise overwrite the local configuration.
Tip: You can also adapt names, when necessary, in the Station Manager using the Station Configuration Editor.
Follow the steps below:
Start the SIMATIC NCM PC Manager.
You can create the stations with the insert objects function.
Opening a station object starts the HW Config tool with which you can create the configuration of a PC station consisting of modules and applications (see the following page).
