Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Configuration Manual

6.6 Plant changes during operation
6.6.1 Changes to the hardware configuration of a standard AS
Introduction
The functionality described for a standard AS is available directly in the H system without any
additional settings.
There are some process cells which must not be shut down during operation. This may be due
to the complexity of the automated process or to the high cost of restarting. Nevertheless, it
may be necessary to extend or modify the plant.
Use CiR (Configuration in RUN) to make certain configuration changes in the hardware
configuration in RUN mode.
CiR can only be used when the function has been activated in HW Config and the AS has
been loaded once with a STOP.
Note
A detailed description of possible hardware changes for an H system can be found in the
"SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 Engineering System" (https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109485969) manual.
