Configuring a SIMATIC PC Station (SIMATIC PC based)
PC Configurations of STEP 7 V5.0 Projects
You must convert the station if you want to edit a SIMATIC PC station configuration
with STEP 7 as of V5.0, Service Pack 3 to configure new components that are only
supported by Service Pack 3 or higher:
1. In the SIMATIC Manager, highlight the SIMATIC PC station and select the
menu command Edit > Object properties.
2. In the "Functions" tab of the properties dialog, click on the "Expand" button.
The SIMATIC PC station is then converted. Now, it can only be edited with
STEP 7 V5.0, Service Pack 3 or later versions.
