Access point
The access point is a symbolic name with which the user program can access
the assigned communication interface / module.
Advanced PC Configuration (APC)
As of the SIMATIC NET PC/Windows CD 07/2001, a new standard for PC
commissioning is available - Advanced PC Configuration. Automatic software
installation, Plug and Play for all supported modules, and user-guided
commissioning are also part of Advanced PC Configuration, just as greatly
simplified OPC configuration and the new SIMATIC NCM PC project engineering
tool.
SIMATIC NCM PC
SIMATIC NCM PC allows project engineering of SIMATIC NET PC components
that is compatible with STEP 7 and serves as a substitute for the previous PC
project engineering tools COML S7 and COM PROFIBUS PC Edition. A
common database with STEP 7 ensures integrated project engineering including
all protocols.
Station Configuration Editor
The Station Configuration Editor is the user interface of the Station Manager; this
allows you access to the component management of the PC station.
Here, the components are the modules and the applications involved in
communications.
The Station Configuration Editor can also be used for diagnostic purposes.
Station Manager
With the Station Manager, you can configure a PC in much the same way as an
S7 station and download the configuration data over the network. The Station
Manager is the basic component for project engineering and runtime of OPC
applications.
