Engineering Station - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Configuration Manual

Creating and managing a PCS 7 project
5.5 Adding Additional Stations
5.5.1

Engineering Station

Procedure
The following steps show how to insert and configure an engineering Station (ES):
1. Insert a SIMATIC PC station into the project "25_ES" by selecting the project and selecting
the "Insert New Object > SIMATIC PC Station" via the context menu.
2. Rename the PC station.
The name of the PC station must match the station name in the Station Configuration Editor,
which already has the default computer name. We recommend using the Windows
computer name of the ES (for example, "ES22"). This applies to all PC stations.
A yellow arrow then appears on the ES PC station icon in the SIMATIC Manager to indicate
the capability of the ES to establish a connection to the plant bus via the "PC internal"
interface.
