11.2 Configuring the PC Station
Overview
After starting the PC station, installing the software, and installing the hardware,
the PC module of the PC station is in PG operation.
By adding the communication module in the Station Configuration Editor, the
module is automatically switched to the “configured mode”.
Handling the Project Engineering Data
Depending on the case, two situations must be distinguished (see Section 2.2):
S
Project engineering before initial configuration - XDB file available
S
Initial configuration not dependent on project engineering
In this example, we assume that project engineering data is available in the form of
an XDB file. The initial configuration is therefore imported in the Station
Configuration Editor.
To allow the information from the project engineering to be transferred from the
engineering system to the PC station, the local configuration must match the
configuration data entered in the project engineering.
