Commissioning PC Stations - Manual and Quick Start

When commissioning in the configured mode, three situations can be
distinguished.  The situation depends on whether or not project engineering data is
already available in the form of an XDB file or whether commissioning is
independent of project engineering (no XDB file).

Initial configuration means the step in commissioning at which the module is
switched to “configured mode” and obtains addresses and network parameters .

With this method, it is assumed that the PC station and its components and
applications is first created in project engineering in STEP 7 / NCM PC. The
target PC station that can be reached over an Ethernet adapter (online) is then
configured remotely over STEP 7 / NCM PC (applies to Ethernet and
PROFIBUS).

The advantage of this is that the project engineering data and the PC
configuration are consistent and the total effort is minimal.
