14 PC Station Wizard

The PC Station Wizard supports you when creating projects in SIMATIC NCM PC

or STEP 7. It allows the automatic adoption of configuration on the local PC

station. This helps you to make sure that your configuration data is consistent.

A typical use case, for example, might be to adopt the configuration of a PC station

in a “temporary” STEP 7 project (in this case, the initial configuration with the

Station Configuration Editor should already be completed). This project can then

be transferred to an engineering station (inserting the PC station in another project

by copying or importing the project into a multiproject).
