5.1 Creating and expanding a project with pre-configured stations
PCS 7 wizards "New Project" and "Extend Project"
You can create high availability stations for the AS and PC stations using the PCS 7 "New
Project" and "Expand Project" wizards in the SIMATIC Manager. For redundant PC stations,
you configure a redundant multiple station system using the PCS 7 wizard.
● PCS 7 "New Project" Wizard
Use the PCS 7 "New Project" wizard to create a new PCS 7 project as a multiproject.
You are guided through the individual configuration steps of the PCS 7 wizard. While
working through the wizard, you specify the CPU, select the number of levels in the plant
hierarchy and the AS objects to be created (CFC/SFC charts) and OS objects (PCS 7 OS,
SIMATIC BATCH, SIMATIC Route Control). Technological names such as plant, unit and
function are specified and you can adapt these later to the requirements of your plant.
● PCS 7 "Expand Project" wizard (pre-configured stations)
Using this wizard, you can expand a project with pre-configured stations, such as an AS or
a PC station for OS, BATCH or Route Control.
The AS is set up using the configuration bundles which you can find in the PCS 7 catalog
and know from the PCS 7 "New Project" wizard. If you use such bundles in your plant, all
required objects are created when you insert pre-configured stations.
