Distributed Systems in the PCS 7 Environment
The principle picture structure (overview area, workspace and button area) as well as the
base data are generated - as before - in the server or multi-client projects by the Process
Control System Wizard.
With PCS 7, WinCC for the configuration of operator stations is included in the
Engineering System (SIMATIC Manager). The multi-clients can be set up on the Engineering
System (ES). Tags are imported from the ES to the operator stations (WinCC server) via
the SIMATIC Manager function "Transfer AS/OS Connection Data". The transfer only takes
place from the ES to the operator stations. Packages (data packages) are only generated on
the WinCC servers. Afterwards, the generated packages can be loaded into the multi-client
projects.
