13.4Configuring a PC Station with SIMATIC NCM PC Config

Creating an Image of the PC Configuration

To allow the configuration data sent by the configuration system to be assigned to a module or an application, it must have a unique identification number. The identification number for modules, applications, and other components in a PC station is the index.

You place your applications and modules in slots in a “virtual rack” in HW Config. This slot number then corresponds to the index mentioned above.

Virtual rack in the PC station

Figure 13-1 Component Management of a PC Station

Note:

This procedure corresponds to the one already described for the “Station Configuration Editor” tool.

Notice

Be careful not to confuse this “index” with a hardware slot, for example on the PCI bus of the PC station. The slot on the PCI bus is not relevant for commissioning and is not used at any point.
