The procedure for configuration of a communication module for the expansion is as follows:
1. Configuration of a placeholder (proxy) for an S7-1200/1500 module in the STEP 7 V5
project
The proxy receives the SINAUT-specific communication, connection and address
parameters.
2. Export the configuration data (SDBs) of the proxy from STEP 7 V5 as a text file.
3. Import the configuration data of the proxy into a compatible module in STEP 7 Basic /
Professional.
The new module adopts the SINAUT-specific communication, connection and address
parameters from STEP 7 V5.
4. Complete the configuration of the new module in STEP 7 Basic / Professional.
This procedure is supported by the following modules:

Note
TIM 4R-IE Stand-alone for S7-400 becomes TIM 1531 IRC
A TIM
4R-IE Stand-alone required in STEP 7 V5 that is assigned to a CPU-400 must be
replaced by a TIM
1531 IRC for the expansion of classic SINAUT projects in STEP 7
Professional.
A TIM
4R-IE Stand-alone can only be created in new projects that are configured exclusively
in ST
EP 7 Professional.
You can find details on configuration in the section STEP 7 V5 configuration of the proxy
(Page 215).
