Index for Every Component

To allow communication between the components in the PC station and to receive project engineering data, each component is assigned a unique identification number. The identification number for modules, applications, and other components in a PC station is the index. Analogous to the slot of a module in an S7-400 controller, the index corresponds to a virtual slot in a PC station.

Note

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