Overview
One of the first engineering steps required to specify the
automation topology and parameterize the components and
networks is to create the
•
Hardware configuration
•
Network configuration
With SCOUT TIA (SIMOTION in the TIA Portal) the tools of TIA
Portal are used for this purpose (in the case of SCOUT, the
STEP 7 tools HW-Config and NetPro).
With the selection from a hardware catalog, all the required
hardware components are graphically assembled in the working
area, parameterized and the bus connections between the
individual components are created. In this way, invalid options
are indicated at an early stage so that only plausible
configurations can be created.
