SIMOTION Software
Engineering Software - System Configuration
Assembling of all necessary components (drives, I/O, etc.)
Determination of the communication method
One of the first engineering steps to define the automation topology and assign parameters to the components and networks is to create:
Hardware configuration
Network configuration
To do so, SCOUT uses the STEP 7 tools HW-Config and NetPro. You make selections from a hardware catalog to combine all required hardware components graphically in the work area, assign parameters to the components, and create bus connections between the individual components. You are warned immediately of any illegal inputs, so that only plausible configuration can be generated.
