S You can open and edit projects that you created with SIMATIC NCM PC at any
time in STEP 7/SIMATIC Manager. This allows you to use additional functions
for programming and configuring S7 stations.
S You can open and edit projects that you created with SIMATIC NCM PC at any
time in STEP 7/SIMATIC Manager. You can edit PC stations you have already
created and create new PC stations. You can configure communication
connections from these PC stations to existing S7 stations.
NCM PC Can Use STEP 7 Project Data
The restrictions in SIMATIC NCM PC relate to the station types that can be
created. The project engineering for S7 stations and programming them can only
be done in STEP 7.
The types of stations that you can configure only in STEP 7 can be used in
SIMATIC NCM PC as target stations for a connection configuration after importing
the project.
The symbol files created for the S7 stations can also be used by the OPC server.
You decide on these settings when you create the project engineering data for the
OPC server.
After working on such a project in SIMATIC NCM PC, you can return it to STEP 7
and edit it again at any time.
STEP 7 provides extra functions for testing and diagnostics.
