SIMATIC Manager provides you with three views. An important feature of these views is that
the objects they contain exist only once in reality but can be displayed and edited in the various
views.
The structural principle of the views is the same. The left pane displays the tree view and the
right pane displays the detail view. Each view has advantages for performing certain tasks:
● Component view : Displays the physical memory location of the individual objects. For
example, charts and blocks. In this view, you can view the mapping of blocks and charts
to the relevant AS.
● Plant view: Displays the exact hierarchical structure of your plant. You can divide the plant
into units and see which charts and which process pictures belong to which unit.
● Process object view : Displays the details of individual objects from the plant view. This is
applicable when you want to assign the same parameter value to a large number of objects
or if you want to add the same comments or make the same interconnections for these
objects.
The Getting Started step by step instructions guide you in selecting the SIMATIC Manager
views. PCS 7 SMART automatically saves all the work that you perform.
