There is a difference... Before you install PCS7 you set a computername that will be used by PCS7. Changing the computername in Windows->My computer is not recommended as WinCC-SQL will use that name for the databases. Siemens suggests installing PCS7 from a clean windows installation if you need to change the computername. However, you also have your WinCC project names which refer to the physical PC computername. You can open the WinCC project on your ES for example and in order to run WinCC, WinCC asks to change the servername to your ES name. Only the computername in the server project is changed. You can do that without any problems. PS: From PCS7 8.0 it is possible to change the computername after you installed PCS7. According to the manual you still can't (they put that in for a reason), but you can dothat. |
If I could help you, you can use the RATE button. Thank you. |
