Con󹪝guring the CP 440
Once you have mounted the communication processor, you must inform the programmable
controller that it is there. This process is known as "con󹪝guration".
In the following, "con󹪝guration" refers to the entry of the communication processor in the
con󹪝guration table of the STEP 7 software. In the con󹪝guration table, enter the rack, the slot and
the order number of the communication processor. STEP 7 then automatically assigns an
address to the CP.
The CPU is now able to 󹪝nd the communication processor in its slot in the rack by way of its
address.
