The "New Project" wizard has already generated the "Comp_Lib" master data library and added
it to the project. It should contain all blocks, process tag types, and CMT (control module types)
in the project as a template.
Note
A central data management in the master data library is a prerequisite for essential PCS 7
functions such as the Import Export Assistant or the automatic block update for all S7 programs
in the multiproject. When using the CMT, the instantiated CMTs can be synchronized with the
original master data library.
Furthermore you can use the master data library to ensure that all project engineers are
working on the same database. This facilitates coordination and organization during the
configuration phase and during the later project expansions or upgrades.
Result
Once the projects are created the corresponding structure is displayed in the component view
of the SIMATIC Manager.
