1.3.5 Detecting the configuration of a CPU
If you have a physical CPU that you can connect to the
programming device, it is easy to upload the configuration of the
hardware. You must first connect the CPU to your programming
device, and you must create a new project. After creating the
unspecified CPU, you can upload the hardware configuration for
the online CPU.
From the program editor, select the "Hardware detection"
command from the "Online" menu.
From the device configuration editor, select the option for detecting the configuration of the
connected device.
Note
After you select the CPU from the online dialog, STEP 7 Basic uploads the configuration
from the CPU, including any modules (SM, SB, or CM). If the CPU has already been
assigned an IP address, the IP address is uploaded. However, other settings (such as the
properties for the analog I/O) are not uploaded. You must go to "Device configuration" to
manually configure the settings for the CPU and modules.
