Step 2: Station Configuration Editor
Function of the Station Configuration Editor
The Station Configuration Editor allows you to communicate the following settings
to the PC:
•
Station name
•
Type of CPU 41x-2 PCI
•
Adding CP 1613
Note
The following settings in the Station Configuration Editor must agree with the
subsequent configuration made in the STEP 7 Hardware Configuration application:
•
Station name
•
Type
•
Index (corresponds to the slot in the STEP 7 Hardware Configuration application)
Index
The CPU 41x-2 PCI can be operated on an index from 2 to 18. The index
corresponds to a virtual slot in the PC.
Name of the CPU 41x-2
You can select any name for the CPU 41x-2 PCI in STEP 7 (default: CPU 41x-2
PCI). Only characters that can be used in file names are permitted. Leading blanks
are not permitted.
Note
The name that you assign to the CPU 41x-2 PCI in STEP 7
corresponds to the name that you use to access the controller panel
of the CPU via the PC desktop. For example, if you name the CPU
41x-2 PCI "Slot_CPU", you then access the controller panel via
Start > Simatic > PC Based Control > Slot_CPU
.
