The standard engineering software provides the basic functionality for configuration of SIMATIC PCS 7 plants with:

• Automation systems
• Process I/O
• Communication networks
• Operator systems
• Maintenance station
• SIMATIC BATCH
• SIMATIC Route Control

Licensing of the standard engineering software depends on use of the engineering station as:

• Classic, dedicated engineering station (not suitable for productive operation as an operator station)
• Combined engineering/operator station for small applications (suitable for productive operation as an operator station)
