Detecting the hardware configuration of an unspecified CPU
onnected to a CPU, you can upload the
configuration of that CPU, including any modules, to
your project. Simply create a new project and select
the "unspecified CPU" instead of selecting a specific
CPU. (You can also skip the device configuration e
n-
tirely by selecting the "Create a PLC program" from the
"First steps". STEP 7 then automatically creates an
unspecified CPU.)
From the program editor, you select the "Hardware
detection" command from the "Online" menu.
From the device configuration editor, you select the option for detecting the configuration of
the connected device.
After you select the CPU from the online dialog and click the Load
button, STEP 7 uploads
the hardware configuration from the CPU, including any modules (SM, SB, or CM). You can
then configure the parameters for the CPU and the modules (Page 170).
