1.4.3Commissioning for Configured Mode - Overview

When commissioning in the configured mode, three situations can be distinguished. The situation depends on whether or not project engineering data is already available in the form of an XDB file or whether commissioning is independent of project engineering (no XDB file).

Initial configuration means the step in commissioning at which the module is switched to “configured mode” and obtains addresses and network parameters .

SCase aInitial Configuration by Remote Configuration with STEP 7 / NCM PC

With this method, it is assumed that the PC station and its components and applications is first created in project engineering in STEP 7 / NCM PC. The target PC station that can be reached over an Ethernet adapter (online) is then configured remotely over STEP 7 / NCM PC (applies to Ethernet and PROFIBUS).

The advantage of this is that the project engineering data and the PC configuration are consistent and the total effort is minimal.
