Siemens C79000-G8976-C156-07 quick start Steps for Initial Configuration

2 Getting Started “Configured Mode”

2.2Steps for Initial Configuration

For the initial configuration, use one of the following tools depending on the procedure:

SStation Configuration Editor

SSTEP 7 / NCM PC

Why do we need an initial configuration?

When a module is started up for the first time, it must be configured. This initial configuration is necessary for all newly installed modules.

After the initial configuration of the modules, the PC station is prepared to receive project engineering data. This step is comparable with inserting components in the rack of an S7-400 station.

Result

When you start the PC station, the PC module of the PC station is initially in the PG operation mode.

By adding the communication module in the Station Configuration Editor, the module is automatically switched to the “configured mode” and the index (the “virtual slot number”) of the module is set.

Interaction between Initial Configuration and Project Engineering

Depending on the area of application, two situations must be distinguished:

SCase a) Initial configuration using remote configuration with STEP7 / NCM PC

SCase b) Initial configuration with existing project engineering data (XDB file)

SCase c) Initial configuration without existing project engineering data (XDB file)
