S
Case c) Initial configuration without existing project engineering (XDB
file)
This is, for example, the situation when the commissioning personnel do not
have an XDB file but the devices need to be installed in a plant and their
functionality checked.
Regardless of the initial configuration, the stations and their connections can be
(PC and PLC) can be set up in the project engineering. The project engineering
data is then transferred to the previously configured PC stations in the system.
Depending on the availability of the station, this is achieved by download or
loading the station (XDB import).
To ensure that the configuration on the PC station and the project engineering
are consistent, it is advisable to import the configuration data from the PC
station.
Step
How does it work?
Tool
1. Installing SIMATIC
NET software
Install the SIMATIC NET software
based on the installation instructions
SIMATIC NET CD / Windows
2. Installing the
hardware (PC
modules)
Install the communication module in the
PC station
Refer to the documentation on the
CP
3. Initial configuration
Module configuration
Station Configuration Editor
Result:
The PC station with its modules and
applications is configured and ready to
receive project engineering data
4. Testing the
configuration

5. optional:
Data export
Enter the configuration in a new
(temporary) STEP 7 project “PC
station”.

6. Project engineering
(this is not dependent on
the previous steps that is
necessary for step 7.)
Steps in project engineering of the PC
station:
