Commissioning PC Stations - Manual and Quick Start

Release 5/2005

C79000-G8976-C156-07

Procedure for “Initial Configuration”

Start the Station Configuration Editor by selecting it in the start menu (Start

Station

Configuration Editor).

Click the “Import Station” button, select the XDB file that you want to import and confirm the

dialog with “OK”.

Check whether the settings of the module match the local configuration.

Note

To operate PROFINET, no STEP 7 project engineering data is necessary on the

PC station.
