CiR objects and CiR modules for PROFINET DP 
11.7.1
 
Basic Requirements 
Overview 
A system modification during RUN via CiR is based on the provisions you have made in your 
initial configuration for an expansion of your PLC hardware. Define suitable CiR-compatible 
elements that you can later replace step-by-step in RUN mode with real objects (slaves 
and/or modules). You can then download such a modified configuration to the CPU during 
runtime. 
The table below shows the procedures required for modification of the program and of the 
configuration, as well as the corresponding system phase.

System modifications are only possible on master systems 
which contain a CiR object or on ET 200M stations which 
are equipped with a CiR module. 
RUN  Continuous operation 
If required, execute several passes of the CiR sequence (step 4 of the table above). You 
merely have to provide a sufficient number of slaves or adequate I/O volume for all of your 
system expansions before you switch to continuous operation. 
 
Types of CiR Elements 
Overview 
The following CiR elements are available:  
 
existing DP master system  CiR object 
You can edit the number of additional DP slaves this object contains.  
existing PA master system  CiR object 
You can edit the number of additional DP slaves this object contains.  
modular DP slave of the type ET 200M / 
CiR module 
You can edit the additional I/O volume this object contains.
