Data changes can be undertaken at both ends and exchanged bidirectionally. If the user triggers data exchange, all changes are listed in a comparison and the user can select which changes are to be applied.

The automation hardware, the automation software and their interconnections are generated automatically when signal lists are exported from an external plan.

Engineering wizard

Engineering wizards efficiently support hardware engineering. The PAA uses the complete basic functional scope of COMOS products with

• User administration
• Change management with working layers
• Scalability

The PAA automatically generates hardware and software documents for redocumentation of existing SIMATIC PCS 7 projects.
