Siemens C79000-G8976-C156-07 instruction

14 PC Station Wizard

The PC Station Wizard supports you in the following situations:

SChanging local settings

If the SIMATIC NCM PC configuration tool is installed on the destination PC station, the wizard can compare the configuration data with the planned configuration data that already exist. The communications parameters can then be edited in the project directly.

SEditing a saved configuration

Open an existing project and compare the local configuration with the information in the project.

In contrast to the “Change local settings” function, the configuration edited here is independent of an existing local configuration.

SCreating a new configuration

If the SIMATIC NCM PC configuration tool is installed on the destination PC station, the wizard can create a new project and enter the local configuration in the project.

SStarting the Station Configuration Editor
