Different views to make the work easier
STEP 7 provides a user-friendly environment to develop controller logic, configure HMI
visualization, and setup network communication. To help increase your productivity, STEP 7
provides two different views of the project: a task-oriented set of portals that are organized
on the functionality of the tools (Portal view), or a project-oriented view of the elements within
the project (Project view). Choose which view helps you work most efficiently. With a single
click, you can toggle between the Portal view and the Project view.

● Topology view: Displays the PROFINET topology of the network including devices,
