Task The configuration example shows the communication between WinCC on a

Windows computer and a SIMATIC S7-300/400. Typical settings on the WinCC

station are shown and provide a guide for configuration. Depending on the plant
configuration, it may be necessary to make different settings, for example the slot
number of the CPU. The process flow charts, start picture, motor picture, the filling
plant, trends and message picture need to be configured. Following this, the
configuration needs to undergo a function test.
