As-Os Communication - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Configuration Manual

Note
Configuring an AS-OS connection for the ES is only required where the "OS Simulation"
function is to be used on the ES. With "OS simulation" you can test the functions of the OS
server project such as pictures or scripts on the ES before loading them to the OS server at a
later time. In order to be able to use this simulation function, it is essential that the ES-AS
connection has the same name as the OS-AS connection.
Note
The connections that lead from the two OS servers (as well as the ES) to the same automation
system must have the same name, e.g. "AS1".

between the relevant AS in NetPro.
