13 SIMATIC NCM PC Project Engineering Tool
13.9Downloading Project Engineering Data to the PC Station (after Initial Configuration)
To allow applications to exchange information over configured communication connections, the project engineering data created with NCM PC / STEP 7 must be loaded on the PC station.
If the initial configuration was performed with XDB import of the project engineering data, loading is already completed with the initial configuration.
Refer to the explanations relating to initial configuration in Section 2.2 Steps for Initial Configuration.
The section below describes how project engineering data can be downloaded to the PC station after the initial configuration. This is necessary when the project engineering data is not yet available at the time of the initial configuration, or to make changes to the project engineering data.
Network, Local Load, and XDB File
There are three possible ways of transferring a configuration from the project engineering to the PC station
SOnline mode
-networked (engineering station networked with runtime PC)
-locally (project engineering station and PC station one and the same)
SOffline mode (engineering station and runtime PC separate) - XDB import
Notice
Downloading as described below only results in successful installation of the communications services on your PC station if the arrangement of the components in the configuration data is identical with that of the configuration data on the PC station.
