Configuring the PC Station

Overview
After starting the PC station, after installing the software and installing the CP
1613, the CP 1613 is in PG operation.
Handling the Project Engineering Data
Depending on the case, two situations must be distinguished (see Section 2.2):
S Project engineering before initial configuration - XDB file available
S Initial configuration not dependent on project engineering
In this example, we assume that the project engineering data is available in the
form of an XDB file that was created on an external engineering station. The XDB
file is transferred to the local PC station on a data storage medium. The initial
configuration is then done with "Import station" (XDB import) in the Station
Configuration Editor.
To allow the information from the project engineering to be transferred from the
engineering system to the PC station, the local configuration must match the
configuration data entered in the project engineering.
