Step  Execution  Meaning / explanation 
Install the CP on the S7 standard rail. 
Establish the connection via the enclosed bus 
connector to the backplane bus. 
Slots 4 to 11 are permitted for the CP in racks 0 to 3 
(connected by IM 360/361). 
Proceed as described in the sections dealing with setup and 
wiring, explained in detail in /10/.

Note 
The CP cannot be used in an extension rack that is connected via the IM 365! Reason: The required 
communication bus is not connected to the extension rack via the IM 365. 
Connect the CP to the power supply.  Follow the steps as described in detail in /10/ when wiring 
between the power supply and the CPU.

Notes 
  The CPU, CP and IM (if one exists) must be connected to the same power supply. 
  Only wire up the S7300 / C7300 with the power switched off! 
3  Connect the CP to Industrial Ethernet.  Connector behind the hinged front panel 
An Ethernet cable can also be inserted and removed with the 
power supply on. 
4  Optional: 
connect the ERP subscribers to the same 
Industrial Ethernet network. 
This step is only necessary if you want to use ERPC functions.
5  Optional: 
Download the ERPC firmware to the CP. 
This step is only necessary if you want to use ERPC functions. 
Read the relevant documentation of our cooperation partners 
ILS Technology LLC. 
6  The remaining steps in commissioning involve 
downloading the STEP 7 configuration data. 
To download the STEP 7 configuration, you can connect the 
PG as follows: 
  via MPI 
  via Industrial Ethernet 
–  Addressing the first time 
(IP address assignment / node initialization) 
–  Downloading the defined configuration 
For further details, refer to the general Part A of this 
manual. 
The PG/PC requires a LAN attachment, for example via a CP 
1613 and must have the necessary software (for example the 
S71613 package or SOFTNET IE). The TCP/IP protocol must 
be installed. The protocol used must then be applied to the 
S7ONLINE access point.
