6.1 Starting the process control
MS Standard and MS Basic
The start of the process control of a maintenance station is the same as the start of the process
control of an Operator Station.
When an MS multiple station system and SIMATIC PDM are used, the engineering station
must be switched on and the SIMATIC PDM Asset Service started for the SIMATIC PDM device
data to be provided.

Before activating process control, check the setting for the WinCC project type in WinCC
Explorer. A single station project must be set as the project type.
Activate process control in WinCC Explorer using the "Activate" icon.
OS simulation
You can only use the OS simulation function in the MS Standard or MS Basic version.
OS simulation for a PCS7 maintenance station in MS Standard and MS Basic is possible only
to a limited extent (for example, no identification or diagnostics data).
