SCase c) Initial configuration without existing project engineering (XDB file)
This is, for example, the situation when the commissioning personnel do not have an XDB file but the devices need to be installed in a plant and their functionality checked.
Regardless of the initial configuration, the stations and their connections can be (PC and PLC) can be set up in the project engineering. The project engineering data is then transferred to the previously configured PC stations in the system. Depending on the availability of the station, this is achieved by download or loading the station (XDB import).
To ensure that the configuration on the PC station and the project engineering are consistent, it is advisable to import the configuration data from the PC station.
