A configuration PC is a programming device or PC on which configuration software is 
installed. You can create projects for a plant with the configuration software. 
Configuration software is software used to create projects for process visualization and input 
of process values. The SIMATIC TIA Portal is configuration software.  
Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of electrical equipment to function properly in its 
electromagnetic environment without influencing this environment. 
Functions are triggered by defined incoming events. Events can be configured. Events which 
can be assigned to a button include "Press" and "Release", for example. 
Area reserved in configured screens for the input and output of values. 
Non-volatile memory with EEPROM chips, used as mobile storage medium or as memory 
module installed permanently on the motherboard. 
An HMI device is a device used for the operation and monitoring of machines and plants. 
The statuses of the machine or plant are indicated by means of graphic elements or by 
indicator lamps on the HMI device. The operator controls of the HMI device allow the 
operator to interact with the processes of the machine or plant. 
A file that can be transferred from the configuration PC to the HMI device. The HMI device 
image contains the operating system and elements of the runtime software required to run a 
project.  
An I/O field enables the input or output of values on the HMI device which are transferred to 
the PLC.
