engineering station
Introduction
The procedure in the "Compile and Download Objects" dialog box for the "SIMATIC PCS 7
BOX with external engineering station" configuration differs from that for a single-station
system in the following way:
● You need to compile and download both the configuration of the engineering station and
the configuration of the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX station.
● You must compile and download the operator station. To do this, create an appropriate
target folder for the operator station on the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX station. Then specify the
network path from the external engineering station to the operator station.
