WARNING!
Manipulation of the control unit!
During commissioning, the system may be 
manipulated to such an extent that can result 
in risks to life and material damage.
 ▶ Make sure that system components can-
not start up unintentionally!
The procedures applied during commissioning depend on 
which control unit is being used on site. The descriptions in 
this chapter use commissioning with the Siemens SIMATIC 
Manager Step7 (from V5.5 SP2 on) as an example.
