■ Overview
■ Function
The PCS 7 Engineering Auditor is used to archive defined para- The Engineering Auditor provides the following functions:
meters of a SIMATIC PCS 7 project at a desired point in time. The
data export can be called interactively by the user. Time-controlled
operation (called by Windows scheduler) is also possible.
• Selection of desired PCS 7 project
• Definition of data to be exported using export filters
Different parts of projects can be recorded by repeated calling
with different filters. The filter defines which types of block are to

type of block. The system then automatically determines all instances
matching this filter.
