Requirement
● A project is open in "HW Config".
Procedure
1. Double click in the properties window on slot 1.
The "Properties – KP8 inputs/outputs" dialog box opens.
2. Open the "Addresses" tab.
In the "Inputs" and "Outputs" groups, the start values of the address areas are set
depending on the controller used.

the fail-safe HMI device are mapped.
Inputs > Process Image Process image to which the address range belongs.
This parameter cannot be set with controllers of the
SIMATIC CPU 300 type.
Outputs > Start Start of address range in which the PROFIsafe inputs/outputs for
the fail-safe HMI device are mapped.
Outputs > Process Image Process image to which the address range belongs.
