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:
• In the SIMATIC Manager, highlight the SIMATIC PC station and select the menu command
Edit > Object properties.
• 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.
