PC Station

In this context, a PC station means a PC with communications modules and applications. The role of this PC might be, for example, to communicate with SIMATIC S7 devices and perform process control tasks. The term “runtime station” is also used to describe such PCs equipped with runtime software.

The PC station is configured for communication with SIMATIC S7 devices in

SIMATIC NCM PC / STEP 7.

The required runtime software is available on the PC station after installing APC (Advanced PC Configuration).

STEP 7 Project

A STEP 7 Project is created with SIMATIC NCM PC or with STEP 7/NCM. It contains the project and project engineering data that can be downloaded to S7 stations and PC stations.
