Procedure: Creating project 2
To create the second project with a shared device, follow these steps:
1. Start STEP 7 once again.
A new instance of STEP 7 opens.
2. In the new instance, create a new project with the name "Controller2".
3. Insert a CPU 1215C in the network view. Name it "Controller2".
4. Copy the IO device from the project "Controller1" and insert it in the network view of
project "Controller2".
5. Assign the IO controller "Controller2" to the IO device.
6. Save the project.
Both projects now have an identically structured IO device that must be configured in the
next step for the different types of IO controller access.
