Adjusting the hardware to the project requirements
You need to configure hardware if you want to set up, expand or change an automation
project. To do this, add hardware components to your structure, link these with existing
components, and adapt the hardware properties to the tasks.
The properties of the automation systems and modules are preset such that in many cases
they do not have to be assigned parameters again.
Parameter assignment is however needed in the following cases:
● You want to change the default parameter settings of a module.
● You want to use special functions.
● You want to configure communication connections.
