Integrating projects

For SIMATIC STEP 7 projects, the component type Simatic S7 is available in the directory Siemens/SPS in octoplant.

You can customize component types in the AdminClient by using the Component Type Editor module.

 

In order to integrate your project data into octoplant, proceed as follows:

  1. Create a new component in the UserClient with the above component type.

  2. Open the working directory of the component using the button or the context menu item Open in file manager (Ctrl+E).

  3. Move the desired project data into the working directory of the component.

  4. Check in the component using the option Create base version and Check-In.

  5. You can now manage the project in octoplant.

 

Why does Archive creation using SIMATIC Manager fail?

Please check whether there are any blank spaces in the component name you wish to archive. If this is the case, there are two options:

  • Remove the blank spaces from the component name.

  • Create a subdirectory in the affected component without blank spaces.
