System role

This section explains what the product does and where it acts in the surrounding system.

Function: Controls engineering workstation tasks and communicates with automation controllers through the documented MPI cable.
System position: Sits outside the controller station as an engineering workstation, upstream of the PLC programming and diagnostic connection.
Upstream / inputs: An engineering user and an MPI-connected target PLC provide programming and diagnostic inputs.
Downstream / outputs: STEP 7 and WinCC engineering tools send configuration and diagnostic actions to the target PLC.
Limitations: Unknown: The installed software license state, target PLC compatibility and physical condition are not established by the source.
