Note!
All stations outside of the recent project must be configured as
replacement objects like e.g. Siemens "SIMATIC S5" or "other station" or
with the object "In unknown project".
When creating a connection you may also choose the partner type
"unspecified" and set the required remote parameter directly in the
connection dialog.
For the project engineering of connections, a thorough knowledge with
NetPro from Siemens is required! The following passage only describes the
basic usage of NetPro. More detailed information about NetPro is to be
found in the according online manual res. documentation.
Start NetPro by clicking on a "net" in the Siemens SIMATIC Manager or on
"connections" within the CPU.
The environment of NetPro has the following structure:
1 Graphic net view
All stations and networks are displayed in a graphic view. By clicking
on the according component you may access and alter the
concerning properties.
2 Net objects
This area displays all available net objects in a directory view. By
dragging a wanted object to the net view you may include further net
objects and open them in the hardware configurator.
3 Connection table
The connection table lists all connections in a table. This list is only
shown when you highlighted a connectable module like e.g. a CPU.
You may insert new connections into this table with the according
command.
