Assigning an IP address to a device online
The S7-1200 CPU does not have a pre-configured IP address. You must manually assign an
IP address for the CPU:
● To assign an IP address to a device online, refer to "Device configuration: Assigning an
IP address to a CPU online" (Page 813) for this step-by-step procedure.
● To assign an IP address in your project, you must configure the IP address in the Device
configuration, save the configuration, and download it to the PLC. Refer to "Device
configuration: Configuring an IP address for a CPU in your project" (Page 814) for more
information.
