Introduction
The MS client runs directly on the master ES. The current multiproject is stored here. The MS
server can be installed on an existing OS server or on a separate computer depending on the
size of the plant. The MS server can be configured redundantly. You can provide one MS
server for each multiproject. All components in the multiproject is monitored by this server.

Note
SIMATIC PDM access is gained from SIMATIC PDM V8.2 in connection with PCS 7 V8.1
