Preparations for OP Configuration
Starting ProTool, creating the configuration
There are two ways to create an OP configuration. You can create a new (empty) configuration and
configure all the necessary system functions (e.g. change of operating mode, assignment of passwords
etc.) yourself, or you can use a standard configuration delivered with ProTool as the basis for your
configuration.
To make things easier for you during your first configuration, we advise you to take the second option of
starting with a supplied standard configuration. The standard configuration contains basic settings, e.g.
Device
:
C7
−
621
,
Language
:
English
, and standard screens for easy access to frequently used
functions, e.g. change of operating mode, assignment of passwords.
Creating a new configuration:
In the SIMATIC Manager select
Insert
→
Station
→
8SIMATICOP
and name the new OP station
OP_System_1
.
Open the station (e.g. by double-clicking). ProTool/Lite and the Projekt Wizard are started
automatically.
Select the C7-621 from the C7 Devices and confirm with
Weiter >
.
Define a name for the PLC which you use to reference it in the configuration: System_1.
