3 Getting Started “PG Operation”
3.2Configuration for PG Operation - HMI Stations
You configure a module using the “Set PG/PC Interface” tool.
Initially the procedure is identical to configuration for PG operation - programming device (PG/PC) as described in Section 3.1.
The communication module remains in “PG operation”; it is then configured so that applications can communicate over communication interfaces without further connection configuration in the project engineering.
The applications access the communication module using access points. If new access points need to be entered, this can also be done with the “Set PG/PC Interface“ or “Configuration Console” tools.
Finally, you use the OPC Scout to assign the required items and connection parameters to the user program.
Setting Access Points - Follow the steps below:

How to Configure for HMI Operation
You start in the same way as described for commissioning for PG operation in the previous section:
You can start the configuration program from the Windows taskbar:
Start " SIMATIC " SIMATIC NET " Set PG/PC Interface.
As an alternative you can also start it from the Control Panel:
Start " Settings " Control Panel " Set PG/PC Interface.
Assign the access point for your application to the module.
Note: You can generally also select the “S7ONLINE” access point here.
