13 SIMATIC NCM PC Project Engineering Tool

Using the PC Station Wizard.

In the situation described here, “online - local”, the use of the PC Station Wizard is also possible.

If you have not yet created the project engineering data for the PC station in NCM PC / STEP 7 following initial configuration or the configuration has changed compared with an existing project engineering database, you can transfer the current configuration to the project engineering database with the PC Station Wizard.

Of those offered, the following options can be selected:

SChanging local settings:

The wizard can synchronize the configuration data with existing project engineering data.

SCreating a new configuration:

The wizard helps you to create a new project that already contains the known modules in a preconfigured PC station.

You can then, for example, import a project created in this way into a project engineering database on an engineering station (copy the station or import the project into a multiproject).

13.9.2Offline Mode (Engineering Station and Runtime PC Separate) - XDB Import

If you are working offline, you will require an XDB file to transfer the data. The configuration system always generates an XDB file for each configured PC station.

The storage location of the configuration file can be found in the properties of the “PC Station” object in the configuration system. The PC Station Wizard can use this file on the PC station or it can be imported in the Station Configuration Editor.
