Configuration of the operator station
The operator station in the project
After you have created a project with the PCS 7 "New Project" wizard, PCS 7 SMART
automatically creates an operator station. You have already configured this operator station
in HW Config. But, you have not created a network connection for this OS as you did for the
communication between the automation system and the engineering station to enable you to
download data from the ES to the AS. This is not necessary for the "color_gs" project because
the engineering station and the operator station are on the same computer. The operator
station uses the same connection to the AS just like ES.
Process pictures in the project
PCS 7 "New Project" wizard also creates pictures automatically in the plant hierarchy, which
you then configure in the OS. Larger projects have multiple process pictures for the various
components of the plant. For the "color_gs" project, you have to only configure a single picture.
During configuration, you will become familiar with all the basic functions of the OS.
Pictures are labeled with the following icon:
