Compiling the OS
Introduction
Before configuring the data in the OS, you have to compile the OS. With this function, all the
data from SIMATIC Manager, such as variables, messages, texts, hardware, and connection
configurations are "made known" to the OS. Do not confuse compiling with downloading: When
you compile, the data remains on the engineering system computer. It is simply made known
to the OS so that you can access this data during configuration.
Prerequisites
● The color_gs project is open in SIMATIC Manager.
● The Component View is activated.
Procedure
1. Select the "color_gs_prj_MP\color_gs_prj_Prj\ [Name of the SIMATIC PC-Station]" item in
the tree view.
2. Select PLC > Compile and Download Objects....
The "Compile and Download Objects" dialog box opens.
3. Open the tree view and select the "Compile" check box for the "OS(1)" object.
4. Select the "OS(1)" object and click "Edit".
