individual phases of the process for producing paint. Since you are configuring only one phase
of the overall plant in this Getting Started, your multiproject contains only a single project.
Multiprojects give you an advantage to distribute single projects to different configuration
engineers who can then edit them. Once the configuration of the single projects is complete,
they can be merged to form a complete project.
In Getting Started, although you will be working within a multiproject, you will not be using the
wide range of functions provided by this multiproject engineering.

What is a master data library?
When you create a new project with the PCS 7 wizard, a master data library is created
automatically. You store all the blocks required for the entire project in this library. Before you
create a CFC, for example, you first store all the standard blocks you will insert in this CFC in
your master data library.
A master data library provides the following advantages:
● When you archive a project, the master data library is automatically archived along with it.
● You can also adapt the blocks and use copies (instances) of these adapted blocks
repeatedly in the project.
In the context of a multiproject, the master data library is important because it allows you to
provide all the project engineers who are involved with blocks of a defined version so that you
can ensure that only this version is used in the project.
