3. Compile the hardware configuration and download it to S7-PLCSIM. After download, the
connection type set in S7-PLCSIM is applied and displayed in the status line of SIMATIC
Manager.
4. Open NetPro. Save and compile your network configuration. Then select your AS and
download the selected station to S7-PLCSIM as well. The PC station does not have to be
downloaded because the communication with the AS is not controlled by the Station
Configuration Editor. Close Netpro and HW Config.
5. Open a CFC and compile the entire program. After loading the CFCs to the AS, close CFC.
6. Select the PCS 7 OS in your PC station and compile it. Click on the "Connection" button
here in the wizard. In the "Select the Network Connection" dialog, check or select TCP/IP
in the "WinCC Unit" column for the Ethernet subnet and click "OK". Then perform all further
steps in the wizard and click "Compile" at the end.

been adopted. To do this, select in the Tag Management > SIMATIC S7 Protocol Suite, the
TCP/IP channel unit and click on "System Parameters" in the shortcut menu. Switch to the
"Unit" tab and check whether "PLCSIM.TCPIP.1" is set in the selection list under "Logical
device name". If not, select the appropriate entry from the drop-down list (see information
on the status bar in SIMATIC Manager), and apply the setting.
8. Open the BATCH configuration dialog in SIMATIC Manager and make all the additional
BATCH configurations there.
9. Select your AS in the process cell data. Select the "Simulation (TCP/IP) on/off" option in
the properties. Then load the SIMATIC BATCH server. Make sure that memory
configuration of your CPU and the corresponding allocation used for the recipe logic are
entered and selected for AS-based mode.
10.Save the simulation with the menu command Simulation > Save target system as.
11.To allow the S7 connection to be established to the AS, the "SIMATIC BATCH Server
Control Service" must be started manually in the user context and not in the system context.
– Open the "Services" dialog via Start> Run under the "services.msc" item for this.
– Double-click on "SIMATIC BATCH Server Control Service".
