SIMATIC NET NCM S7 for Industrial Ethernet
Release 6/2003

C79000–G8976–C129–07

To allow stations to communicate with each other the networks must be configured
in the STEP 7 projects.

Configuring a network or subnet involves the following:

1. You create one or more subnets of the required subnet type in the project.

2. You select the properties of the subnet. Normally the default settings are

adequate.

3. You connect the station “logically” to the subnet.

4. You set up connections for communication.

STEP 7 as of Version V5.2 supports configuration in a multiproject.

Using a multiproject, for example, you can create a project for distributed editing by
various editors and distribute the stations to the projects according to their editors.
To allow this, functions are available for branching and merging (sub) projects.

Interproject subnets and connections can be created.

The SIMATIC Manager provides convenient tools for configuring and documenting
networks (also graphically with NetPro).

The chapter describing network configuration in /6/ and the online help system also
contain information about configuring SIMATIC S7 networks.
