3.5.2 PCS 7 project engineering with a single PC
Central engineering
You can configure a PCS 7 plant centrally for all PCS 7 applications (OS, BATCH, Route
Control, AS) with a single engineering station.
Connect the engineering station to the plant bus and the terminal bus when you download the
configuration information to the target systems and test it in process mode.

3.5.3 Combination of engineering station and operator station on a single PC
Engineering station and operator station on a single PC
You can configure a small system, such as a training station, centrally for all PCS 7
components, for example, with OS, BATCH, Route Control, AS, with a single engineering
station.
You can combine the engineering station and an operator station for this purpose. The operator
station is configured as a so-called single station system in this case.
The example configuration below shows a plant with a common plant/terminal bus. Various
functions are carried out via this bus, for example, loading the configuration data to the target
systems, testing the plant and process mode.
